    What it comes down to is a strong, dogmatic belief at Tesla that vision will solve all problems. It's not aligned with reality unfortunately

    This is the clearest example of an attention grab I have seen - it does nothing for commercial use of Llama unless they provide a version of the weights produced by them and not Fa…

    fwiw - the lead authors on that linked paper are all grad students not employed at Databricks. That being said, they're advised by Databricks people

    As someone replied above, it's because SQL is just 1 backend and it's weird to expose an API that only works on 1 backend. Once you have many devs working together, you need a remo…

    Where does the article say that?

    SQLite is literally a backend for MLflow, so the argument being made really is that you should just use SQL when you can, which is kind of adjacent to any criticisms of MLflow

    Right - I think this is part of the "scaling" of the internet. Those of us (relatively small set of earlier heavy internet users) are forced to change as the product is built for t…

    This resonated a lot with me. Often if I'm learning a language and I see no one is doing what I'm querying for, I take a step back and try to ask a more basic question

    Another thing for us on HN to note. This is how most people ask questions . It is not just that the other way is wrong - it is also less common.

    It would be an unmitigated disaster to have this dude on the board - his decorum is totally unacceptable

    This is ridiculous - the most promising engineers are not always the best people managers.

    It's not ridiculous at all - you don't get to reap the benefits of the network without participating.

    I think what HN and the SWE community at large has just missed about Google over the last 10 years is that the product is being built for the masses. Most people would prefer if yo…

    ...and there's a reason for that. Automations to update the status page are rarely acceptable, since the status page statuses have legal and financial implications. Therefore, the …

    What fake benchmarks are you talking about?

    I mean, sure? mumblemumble is still right though. If you're looking for a cynical reason for everything FB related, then, sure, it's true that a human error looks bad.

    This is just completely false - if you're working on a feature, you want a PR splash controlled by you, not a stream of silent leaks. PR begets other PR. You're being super presump…

    Delete the Waymo One app and reinstalling worked for me when I saw this bug.

    Also, I don't think we actually know what the end-of-life of Tesla vehicles is. They've not been mass produced for long enough.

    Underrated truth - have owned a Tesla for 5 years, and the number of stupid things that go wrong with it is incredibly high. It works like a phone...after a number of years, it tak…

    There's a really salient point about reliability of quality content here - I curate which podcasts I listen to, so in my downtime, I can quickly pull those up. Unless my downtime i…

    The fundamental problem is that NASA's funding is tied to politics and not a business model. Both Democrats and Republicans gutted NASA over the last 15 years and essentially kille…

    While interesting, we don't know enough about how models are learning to where we would be able to consider doing this.
