Bunny Database 6 months ago

Bunny is more like Cloudflare. Database is just 1 part of their offering. They're doing full service edge compute, storage and CDN.

How I learnt about prime number sieves.

Good prep for Advent of Code in 2 weeks.

The main judgement here seems to be: not everyone was there to get a refund, therefore, just entering the store is not an opt-in consent to biometric scans.

As a counter-example: Australian clubbing venues use facial recognition and id verification to identify banned individuals and detect fake documentation. This is required on condition of entry (therefore, opt-in), and this information is shared across all partner venues.

It's not a hard logic path to follow - If AI becomes a digital necessity for modern society to function, Microsoft's relevance shrinks while OpenAI's relevance grows.

Once OpenAI breaks out of the "App" space and into the "OS" and "Device" space, Microsoft may get absorbed into the ouroboros.

OpenAI's dependence on Microsoft currently is purely financial (investment) and contractual (exclusivity, azure hosting).

The studio being firebombed probably does not factor much into it. Kyoani and Kadokawa have beef, but Kadokawa can easily contract it to another studio to do. They just don't want to because of 1.

Also don't forget to watch Disappearance after the 2 seasons.

In his defense, he was shooting a star trail. @10s per exposure, 6 per minute, becomes 360 per hour.

I believe 30s might be more appropriate for star trails which makes satellite trails oh so much more obvious. But that means a 2-3 hour session of 2 exposures per minute.

I also used to take hundreds of photos in meteor season - and having to diff between meteors and satellites was quite time consuming.

This could change in the future with the Mercury diffusion LLM... definitely keen to try if it can simply output results quickly.

And yet the ubiquity of US tech accounts for the majority of our lifestyle right now. Every US tech company going dark overnight means practically everything goes into a digital dark age.

The US has the world by the proverbial balls. It would take years before everyone can fully divest itself of US tech.

In this model of "managers know what their reports are doing" how does one gain insight into overall engineering health from a high enough level (say, engineering manager / CTO)

How does a engineering manager know what their managers are up to in order to get an understanding of what their manager's team members are up to? Even worse if you have a large enough organisation where you may have managers managing leads who manage teams?

I've been lightly using ollama on the m1 max and 64gb RAM. Not a power user but enough for code completions.
