    I didn’t comment earlier so I can’t move a goalpost I never set down. I agree with the root comment that there may be more instances of SQLite, the most important data is not in SQ…

    It most definitely does and I’m serving several read-only production databases from memory. It is insanely fast if you do it right. https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/pgprewar…

    So my main motivation is not so much to have the lowest cost, but to have the most predictable cost. Knowing up front this is my fixed ML budget gives me peace of mind and gives me…

    I’m doing non-interactive tasks, but in terms of the A6000 running llama3 70b in chat mode it’s as usable as any of the commercial offerings in terms of speed. I read quickly and i…

    It’s hard not to think this is just the FAA trying to protect Boeing again by making it look like Airbus is equally bad. FAA should just be rehoused under department of commerce wh…
