I agree with your first part but your edit is a logic fallacy. I don't need to be able to hack something to say that it is insecure. For example: I don't know how to exploit SAML but I know it is a terrible standard dur to making

That is true for software engineering in general. If you have a manager like that nothing is fun. And the products you build are likely to be bad.

Other than coal gas being not very efficient use of coal what was so bad about it? Stockholm still had coal gas in the early 2000s and accidental carbon monoxide poisoning was very rare. Of course the alternatives are better, but only margi

Mostly because MySQL development is slower.

It is also a bit tricky tradeoff. You do not want to be stuck with the same data format forever. So databases like MySQL and PostgreSQL need a downtime when doing a major version upgrade. They both try to keep it short, usually seconds, but
96.
by jeltz 4mo ago
Yes. But for most workloads it is not much for PostgreSQL. You often will not have to shard at all.
97.
by jeltz 4mo ago
Exactly, MySQL and PostgreSQL are the same here. Maybe one is a bit faster than the other at doing major version upgrades but the behaviours are quite similar.
98.
by jeltz 4mo ago
I have not ran MySQL for some years but it at least used to have exactly the same issue. Upgrading a database with MySQL can take a long time if you have many tables. The main difference is only really that PostgreSQL does it with a separat

Sorry, I was unclear. With that I did not talk about this particular deal. This particular deal seems sane. XAI built more compute that they can use themselves since Grok is not very successful so to not just have the hardware standing ther

If your dad had owned an emerald mine I am sure you could also have been that dumb. But to be more serious: It is impossible to say if this is good or bad for XAI without more numbers. What if they bought their compute way over market price
101.
by jeltz 4mo ago
No, CoreWeave for example also rent compute to the big AI companies. This likely just means Grok has few users so they need to rent their extra capacity to their competitors.

Their satellite internet business is the only thing which makes them money, which is enabled by their orbital launch business which is as of right now not profitable and I have no idea of if it ever will be but without it they would not be

Yeah, I am employed by an open source company (to be clear not open core) and most of the external code contributions we get are a net cost for us. It takes more time to review than it would have taken for our team to code and review. The r

Yeah, they are essentially praising price dumping.

I do and I agree with him. Iran is just one of many on a long list of supporters of terrorism which includes the US, the UK and Israel, plus many more countries like Turkey and Russia.

I think you are underestimating these grass roots groups. Some of them are supported by foreign inyerests who want to undermine trust in the government.

There was recently in Swedish media an article about harassment of Jews in Sweden and the guy they talked to was a member of a Zionist organisation who advocates for that Jews should move to Israel. It is fine to interview him, but such a c

Yes, people were mad about them due to the tax breaks here in Sweden long before LLMs were a thing.

The main innovation here seems to be compile time checking of that foreign keys are respected but that is a thing that can be added to SQL and there is at least one proposal for doing so. So I do not really see anything fundamentally differ

Plenty of people? There are gigs every week in my city by bands who make music in 80s and 90s genres and many of them still make new music, some of it really good. And you can usually find it at both Bandcamp and Spotify.

It is the same thing as when they pushed for AMP. They wanted to prevent traffic from leaving google.com then too.

No, systemd is not the bane of Linux. What existed before it was much worse. Upstart was a totally broken mess and almost all sysv init scripts contained several bugs. I don't like systemd but it is a lesser evil.

Waiting for your screenshots. Do the legwork yourself first. And obviously there is no astroturfing here from DDG. That you could have seen from a tiny look at my profile. I have a pretty public persona on the internet.

by jeltz 5mo ago
Yes, I am. And these days Google has become about as bad as DDG. And not because DDG has become better.
