Really enjoying seeing these really capable SMLs. Note that on HF they state: "This model was not trained on tool-calling or agent-based programming data. We therefore do not recommend using it for tasks that involve function calling,

Accidentally burning money is a very low probably event. Forgetting passwords or any type of memorized secret is the most likely default outcome, and chance only increases with time passing.

"Why you should build your next app with a graph database" Please don't. Graph databases have only a few niche use cases which, even then, in most occasions, can be adequately covered by a relational database.

How would you efficiently keep continuously updated complex metrics (aggregations, windowed functions, etc) calculated on top of unbounded/streaming data using a database? I'm not saying that Spark is the ideal solution, but there

IMO using Kafka for long term storage is not the greatest idea. It is expensive to keep CPU and RAM constantly on top of data that it going to be cold most of the time. There is no DML which means mistakes are expensive (from an engineering

You are right, I oversimplified it in my comment. People could still trade using euros. But I guess the only way to get more currency in the country would be via foreign trade. Banks would not have access to EU QE, deposit guarantees might

I'm sure they would, but once they are independent, they can't legally use the Euro. Would they even continue to be Spanish citizens and be able to travel freely in the Schengen area? A new state takes years to join the EU (assumi

What does this even mean: "declared independence"? Have they ordered borders to be closed? Bank accounts to be frozen until new currency is introduced? Have people started throwing their Spanish passports and their euros into the

We have an interesting offer in Portugal. If your cable+internet+phone+mobile company is www.nos.pt you get a card that offers you 2 for 1 tickets at their cinemas. If you go alone, you pay full ticket, but you get a popcorn and drink menu

The -Type System- is turing complete, not talking about the language itself. So your first few comparisons are not quite fair.

While I agree with you, there is always the option of firing people responsible for the decisions.

This. A lot of long term research worldwide is publicly funded and the status quo of the scientific journals (that once had their place in a world with high communication barriers and costs) needs to be seriously shaken up. That plus the hu

That hypothesis does not seem to apply to Lisbon, Portugal so far. We have now around 60km of dedicated bicycle paths in Lisbon (not just cycle lanes, but actual separated paths) all built in recent years (and plans to double that very soon

Interesting! When I first looked at gRPC I missed the option(google.api.http). Are you aware of the reason why REST mapped gRPC is not possible in GAE (http 1 only on the server end of our code)?

by mvitorino 9y ago
I think I like gRPC, but have several reservations regarding replacing REST with it. REST web services often return multiple mime formats, not just pure structured data. Some services return images, others return HTML, and then you also hav

Yes! We have been asking for this for a while now when asked for feedback about what we would value. Managed ElasticSearch is next on our wishlist.

I tend to agree with you in that case. Was not aware of your historical claims. Interesting to know.

Yup, I just looked up "dumbass" and it's not nice. Way to go in trying to keep the discussion civil. If you were paying attention, you would see I never said I was against welfare. Only that you can't have a decent debat

by mvitorino 10y ago
That is a straw man argument. Saying that a lot more money is spent elsewhere does not refute the potential effects of welfare. Also claiming that tax reduction is a form of welfare if very disingenuous since basically that would mean the S

by mvitorino 10y ago
I'm not claiming that welfare is what it should be attributed to. Just saying that I think it should be part of the debate anytime anyone looks into these social issues like the article above does.

Absolutely. For a country referred to as "the land of the free" you surely have a lot of "sensitive topics". As soon as I posted my comment, I started getting down-voted. I believe the post was quite factual, not offensi
