I would also add, for data-science esc tasks (or bulk queries in general) - COPY {} TO is unreasonably fast - often much faster than executing the standard select (especially if th…

I am sympathetic to the practical issues & biases at play when discussing the systems we often call meritocracies; especially when those systems result in anti-meritocratic behavio…

Sadly one doesn't - unless one happens to have ~300GB of RAM to fit the model into memory and a close personal friend at openai who will share the learned weights with you. Trainin…
