Why do you have to remind us that Java Card exists?

Ask the CEO? Based on recent incentives and acquisitions, are they planning to remain a car company?

I believe Musk wants to hype humanoid robots, because he can't get away with irrationally hyping electric cars or self-driving technology like you used to.

Tesla was never a car company, their real product is sci-fi dreams.

Agreed, and he’s already behind in humanoid robots, so the hype there won’t last long. The problem is that China is obliterating him at every turn because they actually build things that work instead of just hyping things and saying fake numbers of how much money it could be if every human on the planet bought 20.

That is a critical point that AI companies want to remove. _they_ want to be the system of record. Except they _can't_. Which makes me think of LLMs are just really bad cache layers on the world.

Or Google is failing you lately. Seems like it's not a recent event, which Google is also REALLY bad at these days.

But do you (or MSFT) trust it to do that correctly, consistently, and handle failure modes (what happens when the meaning of that button/screen changes)?

I agree, an assistant would be fantastic in my life, but LLMs aren't AGI. They can not reason about my intentions, don't ask clarifing questions (bring back ELIZA), and handle state in an interesting way (are there designs out there that automatically prune/compress context?).

Some addition perspective questions I would have.

What is her compensation ratio vs the minimum paid employee?

Are exempt employees compensated (stock?) in some capacity for being available at any time?

How do you monitor that managers are being good role models and/or helping to set boundaries? Without a company plan/objective, the only people holding the company to account is the individual, and they only power they have at the end of the day is to leave.

Then why offer twin beds?

Why not burn down some tree's and show the wrong information instead of putting a simple table?

Is the Whitehouse fit for purpose in the modern age? Probably not. Is it a symbol of the country? Yes. Messing with that symbol on what seems to be a whim funded by corporate interests rather than doing something public and methodical is disgusting. Especially with a government shutdown.

We aren't even getting bread and circuses, just Nero at this point.

It's a much more fitting symbol now than it was before.

Correct ... they should leave the East Wing in rubble, just as a representative symbol for future generations.

> Is it a symbol of the country? Yes

The actual White House, yes. Some out building of the compound, no. If you showed me a picture of it a month ago I would have no idea what it was. This whole thing is bribery, no doubt, but compared to all of the other Trump corruption this one is the least bad.

Sorry you're getting downvoted, but you're commenting on an article about conflicts of interest, among the crowd with the conflicts of interest.

Silicon Valley, Venture Capital: they're the sociopaths whose current project is "disrupting" democratic governance.

Thank you for your concern, but there is thankfully more to life than fake internet points.

So how would that compare to DynamoDB or BigQuery? (I have zero interest in paying for running that experiment).

In theory a Zen 5 / Eypc Turin can have up to 4TB of ram. So how would a more traditional non-clustered DB stand up?

1000 k8s pods, each with 30gb of ram, there has to be a bit of overhead/wastage going on.

Are you asking how Dynamo compares at the storage level? Like in comparison to S3? As a key-value database it doesn’t even have a native aggregation capability. It’s a very poor choose for OLAP.

BigQuery is comparable to DuckDB. I’m curious how the various Redshift flavors (provisioned, serverless, spectrum) and Spark compare.

I don’t have a lot of experience with DuckDB but it seems like Spark is the most comparable.

BigQuery is built for the distributed case while DuckDB is single CPU and requires the workarounds described in the article to act like a distributed engine.

DuckDB is not single CPU, it's single machine - big difference

Fair enough i slipped. And single RAM.

And yeah these days you can boost a single machine to enormous specifications. I guess the main difference will be the cost. A distributed engine can "lease" a little bit of time here and there, while a single RAM engine needs to keep all that capacity ready for when it is actually needed.

Ah ok. Maybe that does make sense as a comparison to ask if you need an analytics stack or can just grind through your prod Dynamo.
