Sure, technically you are correct, i cant prove that im not a schizophrenic hallucinating everything including 2+2=4 and including this discussion. But starting from a reasonable point of beliefs that we accept it is fair to say 2+2=4 will just hold universally when counting discrete things.

A tool that can automate all of thinking and all of cognitive problem solving. I'd say very different yes.

I actually find your argument to be the lazy and reductive one, and im surprised how many folks just parrot it confidently.

This is clearly not like any other tool, what it can do, and more importantly the range of what it can mimic and pretend to do to a highly plausible degree is something humanity did not witness anything close to, ever.

The closest thing i can think of is high speed internet porn and its impact on generations that grew up addicted to it. I can only imagine what AI porn will do to the upcoming generations, and more generally what AI will do to their cognition

By definition it should obvious the million-user server is a popular feature since it has a million user.

I mean yeah... You kind of have to learn this stuff (performance engineering) by yourself (a strong education background helps a lot of course). There are transferable parts of it and there are platform-specific parts where you need to be somewhat familiar with GPUs.

terrible analogy. It's more like a chess grandmaster telling you not to let Stockfish play for you. Which would be a very obvious thing to not do anyway, just like for a learning programmer.

Is that the democratic party or a fringe left that is trying to accomplish something as part of the party ? what policies did the democrats actually implement across the years? Bernie is considered by the democratic party leadership to be a radical(hes not) and would prop up anyone but him

I have to agree with the other person, comments like yours are annoyingly pedantic and just derails the conversation to a useless place. Like cmon, look at the game for a second, the chances of fps problems being due to him running on the Mx macbook pro (whether hardware or driver defects) is like 0.00001%.

A game like this should be running for like 1000+fps and this point should be emphasized in case the maker of this game is clueless when it comes to this kind of stuff, as his blog suggests (sharing an executable with users and asking for a recording is not how you would debug this perf issue) And it's totally fine if they are clueless, we all start somewhere. What sucks is derailing comments like yours that do the opposite and pretend that there is a conversation to be had here other than the implementation is probably terrible, which is, again, completely fine if it is, and we can talk about it and help them with it or point them in the direction of good resources about this stuff.

sorry for the rant, I just see these "akshually theoretically it could be due to blablabla" type comments on HN so much lately and I hate them

you're missing the point. Postgres performs well on large CPU. Postgres as-used by OP does not and is a waste of money. It's great that he benchmarked for a larger CPU, that's not what people are disputing, they are disputing the ridiculous conclusion.

honestly wtf are you talking about. What is these insane leaps and projections you're making?? how did you go from having a map that shows you where the driver is to "makes him your butler" and "micromanaging" and "workers don't have rights".

I'm very curious about this rewrite in Java, especially the orders of magnitude improvement. That sounds extremely impressive, and something that I wouldn't have considered possible. Can you share a bit more about how this performance improvement is achieved?
