They run these clients themselves and the redis instance isn't publically exposed. It would indeed be very strange to hope your random users coordinate with your client side load balancer. You wouldn't even have to send real traff

You can use x86_64-v2 or x86_64-v3. Dates are tricky since cpu features aren't included on all SKUs from all manufacturers on a certain date.

BTW the page mentions Alternate Styles, which is an obscure feature in firefox (View -> Page Styles). If you try it out, you will probably run into [0] and not be able to reset the style. The workaround is to open the page in a different

Having driven in the US and UK, this is a significant difference between the two. In the UK, you might sometimes drive 30 under on a road that is nominally 60 mph. In the US, that road would have a specific posted speed limit that is safe t

I'm not the author, but I think you could by using UNION ALL instead of temp tables. You could also make a view that just calls this function. I'm not sure why it would matter though.

I think the sports analogy would be passing the ball back and forth in front of the goal instead of shooting. Nearly every time, an athlete with the ball in front of an open goal will take the shot themselves instead of passing. Even in a 2

The paper is based on an estimate of productivity increases per industry due to AI. The highest increases are around 0.2% and most industries are <0.1%. In that world, AI isn't transformative and doesn't accelerate. In some way

"lawful" seems like an enormous loophole that makes this seem vacuous. If the government makes what you are doing unlawful, then it can be restricted. How would the government restrict you from doing something lawful in the first

This is essentially the "strict scrutiny" standard, which governments have to achieve in order to violate your strongest constitutional rights (e.g. 1A). If you don't spell it out, then it might be delegated to a lower standa

This sounds very similar to priority inversion. E.g. if you have Thread T_high running at high priority and thread T_low running at low priority, and T_low holds a lock that T_high wants to acquire, T_high won't get to run until T_low

You don't need javascript to parse HTML. Just use an HTML parser. They are very fast. HTML isn't a regular language, so you can't parse it with regular expressions. Obligatory: https://stackoverflow.com/questi

It really doesn't matter. As a normal user, you don't use `drv` files directly, and everything you configure yourself will use attribute paths in nixpkgs. E.g. `pkgs.ruby` or `pkgs.ruby_3_3`.

Proguard can also apply optimizations while it obfuscates. I think a good JVM will eventually do most of them itself, but it can help code size and warm-up. I'm guessing as JVMs get better and everyone is less sensitive to file sizes,

Re 1. Look up non-blocking migrations for postgres. You can generally do large schema migrations while only briefly taking exclusive locks. It's a common mistake to perform a blocking migration and lock up your database (e.g. using CRE

Re (2) there is a lot of vacuuming, but the table is small, and it's usually very fast and productive. You can run into issues with scheduled queues (e.g. run this job in 5 minutes) since the tables will be bigger, you need an index, a

I've basically never had a problem with MSK brokers. The issue has usually been "why are we rebalancing?" and "why aren't we consuming?", i.e. client problems.

Kafka also doesn't give you all those things. E.g. there is no automatic dead-lettering, so a consumer that throws an exception will endlessly retry and block all progress on that partition. Kafka only stores bytes, so schema is up to

It depends. Fine-tuning is a significant productivity drag over in-context learning, so you shouldn't attempt it lightly. If you are working on low-latency tasks or need lower marginal costs, then fine-tuning a small model might be the
