    I think a lot of early scientists and inventors got embroiled in patent disputes and lawsuits etc. In UK, mainland Europe too. Say what you might, money is a big motivator and that…

    Can some of these optimization get back propagated to Postgres?

    Seems you need to buy a phone from them to use it? Couldn't find list of hardware supported, how to install etc.

    Incredible to think that barely ten years after bicycles were somewhat perfected as useful, Wright brothers started testing their early plane designs.

    Thanks..non AI expert here just wanted to understand..cos one of the most talked about topics is running models locally on cheaper hardware. Helps many esp in poorer places. Would …

    Can a model be stripped off anything not relevant to coding and get a lot lighter? Or is that impossible? Just like we have professors with specialisation wondering if AI models ca…

    Where will this leave the c based driver which I believe is the basis for many others?

    That's a good point.. Writing code vs building

    Only you get things done lost faster and don't need to pay entire years salary?

    IIRC Scott McNealy once trolled Microsoft for this - hundred different ways to draw squiggles that can be configured. As an example of code bloat and useless features.

    Not trying to be funny but seriously, if these tools can produce a tested 'product' in 45m, shouldn't we be seeing millions of them out there? I mean how far are we from a fully AI…

    Interesting...although most of these are present in any country, at least the ones I have been to. You can use Google in India but not Tiktok (to give one example). Earlier Singapo…

    In Singapore Changi, the arrival and departure are at same gate so you can just sit and wait for next flight. Passport is checked before you get into next flight at the gate where …

    AI is no different from machine doing what took people earlier. In fact on the scale of many other things (spinning Jenny that could replace dozens, for one) this is probably benig…

    Can you explain? What sort of surveillance that affects a casual visitor?!

    Yeah that is looking at it from US side. If you were Iranian, cutting nose to spite face looks like a bad deal, only as Iranian you have no say in it. As with virus, the ones that …

    Broader point is this: Middle East created oil crisis back in 70s. Since then US economy has grown enormously while it's still using pretty much same amount of oil, imported or oth…

    I think he's mixing up bureaucratic competence (and lack of corruption within bureaucracy and political class) with democratic consensus. Yes, Singapore will never have a boondoggl…

    Yes. Actually it'll make sense to build new cities instead of pumping billions paying inflated land cost to build roads, rail etc. and metro systems that only pull even more crowds…

    Lol "unique identity" just for 2 states is left political propaganda. Don't fall for it. Every state (for that matter, most districts) in India is unique and none are unique becaus…

    I'm frankly not sure in both cases, just commenting on how over the ages things change but remain the same. If the broader concern about AI blunting thoughts, introduce laziness et…
