I don't think 10K updates per second are really that difficult for the db (Unless you have locking issues). But at that point your reads should be probably be sent to read-only replica's. So you write to a master but all your read

Of all the things people can be angry about Wikipedia's small contributions to other non-profits is the one they choose do protest. Amazing. Wikipedia has been one of the most beautiful creations of the Internet and they continue to be

It has aged extremely well. Based on the degree of the up-to-date you need you can use * Experimental * Unstable/Sid * Testing It all depends on what your definition of up to date is.

What is all these negative nonsense about "people don't give a shit" on every thread about this. We don't need every single person in the street to give a shit. We only need enough influence within the industry and regul

This is not the right attitude. Google wanted AMP. Google didn't get AMP. AMP is dead.

Just because it's been 15 years and it hasn't reached 100% adoption/parity doesn't mean it's not a success. The feeling around it when it started was that it's going to many many years for it to reach that and

Or maybe these studios need to stop making stupid movies that nobody cares about anymore. Flash? Seriously? Promote actual movies a little more rather than spending hundreds of millions on dumb movies and leaving no room for real cinema.

Roger Waters has been wearing that uniform at least since 1980's [0]. He becomes a fascist to criticize fascism not to advocate. It's like trying to cancel Charlie Chaplin for becoming a Fascist. Back then he wasn't a critic

With that logic all us programmer's careers should be ended due to the bugs we introduce because "they are equivalent of a surgeon thinking...". It's not equivalent to that. Nobody lost their leg over this.

Why so eager to end someone's career? He did a lazy/stupid thing. People do far worse things. The client may want to sue them and seek damages or something and that'd be fair but I don't think their career should end. Th

Building agents that use advanced API's was not really practical until now. Things like Langchain's Structured Agents worked somewhat reliably, but due to the massive token count it was so slow, the experience was _never_ going to

I think that's one of the problems here. When Digg happened, Reddit was already a very viable alternative. But now there doesn't seem to be any.

None of this is true. Iran has extreme poverty, people have bare access to food these days and there's a massive amount of child beggars in the street. People are selling body parts to get access to food. Source: Iranian.

> driven by consumer desire for local LLMs Citation needed. I don't think general public has any desire/care for that. Like they don't care about a locally run Siri.

They knew I was in Iran. None of us knew it's illegal to hire contractors we just thought it's some banking access issue. Also it was a small amount and not a systemic thing I was the only one.

There are a couple of reasons not to worry about this upgrade: A. 3 -> 4 required very very significant changes. 4 -> 5 and now 5 -> 6 are nowhere near that. B. KDE really learnt their lesson on this and they are very careful not t

I don't think it is. I'd prioritize their problems like this: 1. LLM's don't have a lucrative business model that Google needs. 2. The quality of their language model is really lacking as of now. You fix 1 and 2, ChatGPT
