And that is an achievement given how moronic the current Italian government is.

Also even in a European context UK power prices aren’t as high as many of its peers.

breakpoint( and then some nonsense arguments.

Apparently a good chunk of the code that these LLMs are trained on is python, yet setting a debugging breakpoint still causes difficulties.

And your last paragraph hits the nail on the head, people are afraid to run their own software.

I grant you pipelines are the best bit about ado, but the fact that you can’t test them is a pain.

And the webhooks and templating are pretty messy and unpleasant quickly.

We’re changing from ADO to GitHub (had to be an MS product for corporate) and the infra people are looking forward to GHA as they prefer their maintenance to ADO pipelines.

A bit of napkin math: NVIDIA claims 0.4J per token for their latest generation 1GW plant with 80% utilisation can therefore produce 6.29 10^16 tokens a year.

There are ~10^14 tokens on the internet. ~10^19 tokens have been spoken by humans… so far.

We pay well. Very well in fact. We’re a small company though.

I have a harder time hiring here than at my previous position with a much larger company, even though my current employer is superior to my old one in every way except for brand recognition.

And from others in this space (who have at times tried to recruit me) this is not a problem unique to my company.

Together with the debt payments needed then, this will do wonders for the stock. I’m sure.

I’ve been gathering data on the natural experiment that occurred due to differences in proliferation of smartphones across countries. The sex surveys aren’t consistent but that is a very strong factor. Look at the hockey stick curve in the paper here.

The rest of the decline is (in my evaluation) best explained with the increase in average age of the 18-64 year old demographic.

This results in bad service, high quality goods and strong utilisation of capital goods.

But as others have noted the wealth disparity is increasing thanks to new policies and low interest rates leading to asset inflation.

Simple as that. Allow people to shift value in larger units without AML and the crooks will use that route.

The AML form will not be the most unpleasant part of buying a Yaris.

There are more criminals than abusive IRS agents. And usually when people tell me stories like that, there is more to it..

But yes managing db connections is a pain. But I don’t think it’s any better in Java (my only other reference at this scale)

But honestly the thing that makes any of my programs slow is network calls. And there a nice async setup goes a long way. And then k8 for the scaling.
