Funnily enough, this happened many times during AWS us-east-1 outages, during the incident internal tools were also down globally because they relied on us-east-1.

That being said Polars is one of the few Python libraries from the hundreds I use that I need to read the notes of every minor release (eg 1.44 -> 1.45), because they tend to frequently deprecate, remove or change features.

He created Go because he believed that the average Google programmer is too stupid to program in C++, and he didn't like Java, the other language created to address this problem.

Don't worry, they are ahead of this. Satya said some time ago that they expect soon to have more agents using Microsoft software than humans, and are working on transitioning their focus from serving humans to serving agents. https:&#

What will you run the open models on? How will your 5000 W computer compete with the 100 GW of Elon's computer?

by dist-epoch 2mo ago
You make a mistake, believing Capitalism is controlled by humans and for humans. Yes, human economic value becomes 0, but Capitalism doesn't crashes, the machines will be consuming what the machines produce.

Thank you for creating it! I wonder if something changed, with todays SSDs, memory bottlenecked CPUs, and hardware accelerated CRCs. FWIW, RAM bit-flips are much more common today, on consumer devices where SQLite is used a lot, since today

If you look at how agents navigate source code, they do not look at directory names, and drill down into the ones with plausible names, instead the grep the whole repo for plausible keywords. Of course, ideally your data would be structured

It's annoying that most file formats don't checksum their own content. Even formats which should know better, like SQLite, delegate that to the filesystem, most of which are also not checksumed and which delegate that further to t

That's exactly the point the article makes - we care about dogs and cats, so we believe they "suffer". We don't care about pigs, so we say they don't mind being factory farmed.
