Most likely: Same design, marketed as the same chip. Might see differences in power consumption and thermals but not in a way that will affect normal users. Apple has relatively few designs that they use across different products so that wo

Yeah, the system in the blog post retargeted at Postgres would be a step up from what I've used. I'm still skeptical of the underlying model of message replay for rehydration because it makes reasoning about the changes to the log

The system I used didn't have any notion of repair, just retry-forever. What did you use for that? I've written service tree management tools that do that sort of thing on a single host but not any kind of distributed system.

I don't want to start a debate about a specific vendor but the cost was very high. Leaky serialization of call arguments and results, then hairpinning messages across the internet and back to get to workers. 200ms overhead for a no-op

In my one encounter with one of these systems it induced new code and tooling complexity, orders of magnitude performance overhead for most operations, and made dev and debug workflows much slower. All for... an occasional convenience far o

Intel missed mobile, graphics, and AI, while failing to deliver 10nm, and it was all self-inflicted. They didn't understand what was coming. Transmeta was an easily identified threat to Intel's core CPU products so Intel was more

I don't know if the bet was even particularly wrong. If they had done a little better job on performance, capitalized on the pains of Netburst + AMD64 transition, and survived long enough to do integrated 3D graphics and native librari

For securing and maintaining a complex legacy application it seems like a reasonable approach would be to move the majority into Fil-C, then hook the bits that don't fit up via RPC. Maybe some bits get formal verification, rewritten in

A (usually) small amount of memory that is the standard size all the memory management hardware and software use. Often 16Kb or 4Kb. If physical memory gets mapped to logical address space, address space marked read only, data swapped in or

You're absolutely right.

TOML has some readability and compactness benefits over JSON while still being both common enough for models to easily be able to process it relatively reliably and widely supported in most languages. I suspect BAML still performs better bu

It would be interesting to compare this to BAML and TOML.

We unfortunately lost our location with not a whole lot of notice and the migration to a new one was not seamless, on top of things like the GitHub actions being out of date (only supporting the deprecated Postgres service, not the new one)

Is it actually necessary to run transcontinental consensus? Apps in a given location are not movable so it would seem for a given app it's known which part of the network writes can come from. That would require partitioning the namesp

Apple has never cared about ML research on their hardware. I've never been able to pin down a specific reason why, best I can figure out is they don't see it bringing enough additional hardware sales to be a focus.

Even just the theory is kind of mind expanding. I've done a little signal processing and ideas like "negative frequency" sound absurd up front and then seem reasonable once you've worked with them.

In my experience with Django the admin scaffolding saves a lot of work building UI for diagnostic and customer service workflows. Projects on other frameworks that I've been involved with end up rebuilding a lot of that stuff in their

Yes, to expand: Both search and ads mean serving immense amounts of traffic and users while earning tiny amounts of revenue per unit of each. The dominant mid-90s model of buying racks of Sun and NetApp gear, writing big checks to Oracle, e

Containers happened because running an ad network and search engine means serving a lot of traffic for as little cost as possible, and part of keeping the cost down is bin packing workloads onto homogeneous hardware as efficiently as possib

Depending on where it went, maybe. Scrape and remove topsoil and everything on top of it downwind where the particles settle. Dredge any waterways. Etc. Edit: You can read about one such cleanup after the incident linked here: https:/

TOML works decently well both directions, useful if you need structured data out of models or APIs that don't support structured outputs.

Both if you don't want to be involved in answering them and you can accept whatever answer other people come up with.

Depending on the task you can often get it in about one request on average. Ask for the output in Markdown with reasoning up front and the structured output in a code block at the end, then extract and parse that bit in code.

It looks really slick, for us the reason we haven't adopted yet is it brings more tooling and configuration that overlaps with our existing system for prompt templates, schema definitions, etc. In the component where we couldn't r

This is true. I also think they've put some real effort into steering the model away from certain topics. If you ask too closely you'll get a response like: "As an AI assistant, I must remind you that your statements may invo

Thanks, that take is... Something. I'm all for user-controllable hardware but I think that's a regulatory problem not a technical one.

Oh, I think it's a real problem, that's why I'm in favor of improved tools.

I don't know what this has to do with locking down phones, but I do appreciate not getting compromised just for cloning a repo or opening my laptop at a coffee shop.

Some people have demonstrated portability using the WASM target, translating that to C89 via w2c2, and then compiling _that_ for the final target.
