I think Google doesn’t turn Gemini loose on docs the same reason Apple doesn’t turn AI loose on your phone. It’s just not reliable enough to let 99.99% of the world use it. Those of us on the bleeding edge have been fine tweaking and workin

Line of sight issues are simply a wattage issue. A gigawatt laser is impervious to rain, a bird, a flock of birds, a bird and the tree it sitting in. Probably the entire forest. Let’s just say there are some solutions well in hand.

This was right before the gulf war so I may have met him! Assuming he was a gunners mate, that crew had a lot of moments of touching history. Besides mechanical computers, it’s a really dangerous place since they had to handle massive bags

In 1989 I was a data systems tech on a Destroyer going through some overhaul at the shipyard in Pascagoula Mississippi. Moored right next to us was the battleship Wisconsin. Huge relic from WW2 but still going through modernization. A bunc

I read this as “In My Opinion” and really thought this about AI dealing with opinionated people. Nope. HN is still safe. For now…

TBH I was expecting something about plugging humans into a huge bioenergy farm and letting them live out their lives in a simulation.

“Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.”

I did write a book related to the topic, however it may take a bit longer to get through. https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/managing-cloud-native/9...

Python for analyzing data and crunching numbers? Awesome! Python for serving HTTP? This could get expensive—the why, what, and choices teams have in deploying AI applications.

Beyond the VR thing. I keep thinking this could have more immediate impact on manufacturing and logistics. Imagine a delivery truck with this on the floor that could optimally organize packages dynamically.

It was in research, but now the FDA has approved it as a therapy. So I guess it takes 13 years to go from paper to clinic?

That speed thing is a nice bit of marketing from Scylla but not really true in the real world.

Fast writes and slow reads was true in 2012. The project has been busy since.

Yes. You still have to read the docs before randomly setting “auto_bootstrap” to false. Or just use Astra and not worry about scaling your own cluster.

Everyone complains about how expensive Splunk is but the amount of compute and storage consumed by processing logs is ridiculous. I feel like we should be talking about the sad state of logging where we think it’s perfectly ok to dump milli

You have to be ducking kidding. Works great for me.

Same argument applies when I hear people say “we can just do an ETL job.” And why storage is so cheap in the cloud. Once you get a lot, it’s hard and expensive to move. And definitely why things like AWS Snowmobile exist.

The Cassandra project recently[1] added vector search. Relative to a lot of other features, it was fairly simple. A new 'vector' type and an extension of the existing indexing system using the Lucene HNSW library. Now we'll b
