Also equating artificial intelligence with LLMs. I get that laymen and the media do it, but imo this looks really bad for an investor.

Coincidentally, in macOS and iOS design and functionality - especially since Tahoe and 26 - it rather feels like the slop has taken over. quality sacrificed for speed, resulting in mediocre, buggy software. The classic AI business manager f

DuckDB and other specialized DBs benefit from much more optimized math, data structures and data storage/ memory lookups I'd assume. But a 5x increase simply by optimizing the planner is nothing to be ashamed of.

This reads like a sleek way to weasel oneself out of responsibility. So what you're effectively implying is that the court of public (in Israel instances very clearly biased) opinion rules the site? So guidelines for thee (Israel suppo

It would be really, really great when the open Israel hate and borderline Antisemitism displayed in many threads related to these topics could be moderated to the same tune. It's the same hate that has killed Jewish Americans in the pa

Being confident doesn't equal being right. I'm aghast as to what people seem to think they have authority on simply because they're using the internet. There is a real world out there and it is quite different from online ech

ROFL. Best step up to your words and throw away your phone then. All major tech companies and chip manufacturers have R&D and design centers in Israel.

This looks amazing! Have you used this in conjunction with DuckDB?

How long ago was this, or can you share more context about data and mem size you experienced this with? DuckDB has introduced spilling to disk and some other tweaks since a good year now: https://duckdb.org/2024/07&#x2F

What do you mean? This doc you linked is from August. The blog post from today includes, in fact at the very top an XCode Swift project emulating a Pixel 9. The docs include a detailed Getting Started for Android and they even have an Andro

Ah no worries, that’s not a limiting factor at all. Especially the Germans mocking ourselves perform in English to cater to a significantly larger audience than were the Show in German. :D

While I chuckle at the fact Ai Weiwei choose to dump on Germany while enjoying unbothered refuge here, this sentence I disliked the most. It reeks of over-thinking, philosophical elitism. As someone who was raised by parents born in Communi

This is such a techno-centric view, you're not even remotely aware of your own biases. > but he completely misses the only real threat to either Open AI or Anthro. Hard disagree. Economics matter, in fact more than tech. Tech only

Yes, it's real and it's plain funny that you discredit simple facts in a case as obvious and with as many data points as Apple. From the 2005 iPods settlement [0], to the 113 Mio USD Batterygate [1], to Flexgate [2] where Apple on

Don't kidd yourself: Planned obsolescence is real. Apple has a higher duty to their shareholders than to their customers. Not hating on Apple, just stating the hard economic truth.

Your entire argument is whoefully ignoring the CapEx economics of all of this. But that's the foundation. And there is a plateau in real money spent on AI chips. You're ignoring a whole group of economic and finance professionals
