Generally not a fan of geohot, but this is pretty possible, especially once self driving tech becomes available through suppliers like mobile eye / Bosch/ continental etc. (it’s possible it will stay a Tesla / Waymo duopoly b

No matter the merit of the claim, the appeal to the fascists in the US government invalidates any legitimacy. And that is an achievement given how moronic the current Italian government is.

That has two causes, dependency on natural gas, which would be worse without renewables and taxes, which is unrelated to renewables and related to general policy goals of reducing energy demand. Also even in a European context UK power pric

My favourite is always: breakpoint( and then some nonsense arguments. Apparently a good chunk of the code that these LLMs are trained on is python, yet setting a debugging breakpoint still causes difficulties.

The first part is wrong, it’s a question of org size. A lot of large orgs hand roll a lot of these things, they call it developer excellence. And your last paragraph hits the nail on the head, people are afraid to run their own software.

Really? I grant you pipelines are the best bit about ado, but the fact that you can’t test them is a pain. And the webhooks and templating are pretty messy and unpleasant quickly. We’re changing from ADO to GitHub (had to be an MS product f

IBM might not have a data strategy or AI plan but he isn’t wrong on the inability to generate a profit. A bit of napkin math: NVIDIA claims 0.4J per token for their latest generation 1GW plant with 80% utilisation can therefore produce 6.2

I’m in Europe too. We pay well. Very well in fact. We’re a small company though. I have a harder time hiring here than at my previous position with a much larger company, even though my current employer is superior to my old one in every wa

I don’t know, I’m hiring and the candidates so far have not been impressive. Maybe that is restricted to my area / region but I got one am confused.

If in the end we can just have .spy on some files that have performance critical functions in them and the rest is just normal python, this could be down right amazing. We recently swapped out mypyc optimised module for a rust implementatio

Waiting for the lack of returns on LLM investments to come and bite back. Together with the debt payments needed then, this will do wonders for the stock. I’m sure.

I’m pretty sure it’s smartphones and aging society. I’ve been gathering data on the natural experiment that occurred due to differences in proliferation of smartphones across countries. The sex surveys aren’t consistent but that is a very s

The thing that is often missed is that with high taxes and resulting high labour cost, you get high productivity. Simply because low productivity is not profitable. This results in bad service, high quality goods and strong utilisation of c

The Yaris is more expensive than 10k. Simple as that. Allow people to shift value in larger units without AML and the crooks will use that route. The AML form will not be the most unpleasant part of buying a Yaris.

As someone who sees the outcome of people losing everything to sophisticated scammers/ fraudsters and thieves and how little authorities are able to do, nah, the overreach is not in sight. There are more criminals than abusive IRS agen

Meh, even with basic async I’ve been able to overload azure’s premium ampq offering memory capacity. But yes managing db connections is a pain. But I don’t think it’s any better in Java (my only other reference at this scale)

It’s a good article on speed. But honestly the thing that makes any of my programs slow is network calls. And there a nice async setup goes a long way. And then k8 for the scaling.

I’ve used the reverse. When making a new module I’ve let the llm make up an api and I’ve used the names suggested as inspiration of what might come natural to others, to make the use more intuitive.

Very neat looking tool. Do you expose an api to set and get network information like valve placement, demand at nodes or pump schedules? In my old research group we ran a forked versions of epanet to do some of these things and there was a

This is such a weird cannon on sparrows approach. The local builds are fast, why would you rebuild docker for small changes? Also why is a personal page so much rust and so many dependencies. For a larger project with more complex stuff you

More money made with batteries means more batteries installed. How is that a bad thing?

I have programmed batteries / algos to do this in some European markets. This is being done right now. The yield you could make from batteries in the UK dropped from double digits to 2% in 8months once some hedge funds figured out how

What I don’t understand in such reports is why there is no mention at all how this is done in other countries. Do they all still use floppy disks? Did they do an upgrade? How did it go? Surely this would be valuable information.

The LLM generated unit tests pass. Obviously!

Azure API for LLM changes depending on what datacenter you are calling. It is bonkers. In fact it is so bad that at work we are hosting our own LLMs on azure GPU machines rather than use their API. (Which means we only have small models at

I bet the next AI powered IDE will be called sailboat or some other preppy water themed sport. Good luck down the stream.

In the past when I needed this I just made a function that processed the f string, often enough a simple lambda function would do. This looks like additional complexity for not a lot of gain.
