This. Postgres is slow for large inserts compared to eg. Clickhouse.

This slowness is mostly because of OLTP features

This mirrors my experience.

If you want the agent to be more aware of the tool, prompt it to create a skill for whatever bash commands you wish

It's a dumb idea actually, as these panels will be covered in brake dust, sand, leaves, etc.

If you're interested, check EEVblog's video on this

No the murders happen in camps eg. What's happening to the Uyghurs.

That said, they also use them as slave labors.

Maybe that's what ICE is going to do with the plan to setup large detention centers in the US

While it's correct to criticize China's authoritarian policies and lack of civic and religious freedoms that are often taken for granted here, it's still very much a pot-calling-the-kettle-black situation. The US's treatment, both historical and modern, of it's black, native, and immigrant populations have been just as or even more brutal than China's crackdown on Islamism. Mass incarceration and criminalization of the poorest sections of society in the US are at levels far beyond what exists in any other country in the world. Political corruption and nepotism have been normalized for decades, and the deep-seated culture of elite impunity is apparent in the total lack of consequences from the Epstein files. US citizens should not be wasting time criticizing other countries for problems our own country has yet to fix.

Look up the "zero idleness" program at CECOT where the Trump administration is sending deportees.

They've been successfully blocked (for now). No current deportees are headed there so far as I know. But they are busy trying to build the system right here at home.

ICE detention is already beginning to resemble the Salvadoran prison system.

Due process rights get violated. Detainees get shuttled around to different facilities to be lost in the system through engineered incompetence, making it difficult for legal counsel or family to find them, or even to know who has been taken. They subject them to torturous conditions, abuse, and often hold people who've committed no crimes for months.

They are thwarting oversight and defying court orders left and right. And they are trying to scale up like 10x+. And once they do, the detention system won't just be for immigrants. They are going to target anyone they want.

D's have successfully blocked DHS funding for now, but if they (or SCOTUS) allow any of this to go forward, things are likely to get far worse

you can use Claude Code with these models. You just need to pass the right env vars. Have a look at the client setup guide on z.ai

Interesting—thanks!

Why distill, if you can run the full model yourself... or at other inference providers.

Quantization the better approach in most cases, unless you want to for instance create hybrid models ie. distilling from here and there.

That's a bike that's ergonomically designed for pelicans.

It is unreasonable to expect pelicans to ride human bikes, they have different anatomy.

The next frontier:

Draw a pelican on a bicycle ergonomically designed for pelicans.

It may be a joke, but I think this is correct.

For reasons, I have tried to get Stable Diffusion to put parrots into spacesuits. Always ended up with the beak coming out where the visor glass should've been, either no wings at all or wings outside the suit, legs and torso just human-shaped.

ChatGPT got the helmet right, but their wings and tail (and sometimes claws) were exposed to vacuum, still very much closer to a human in either a normal or scifi space suit that happens to also be wearing a parrot head inside the space suit, and has tacked some costume wings on the outside.

Essentially, it's got the same category of wrong as fantasy art's approach to what women's armour should look like: aesthetics are great, but it would be instantly lethal if done for real.

My more advanced prompt, for when models do a good job on the original, is this one:

> Generate an SVG of a California brown pelican riding a bicycle. The bicycle must have spokes and a correctly shaped bicycle frame. The pelican must have its characteristic large pouch, and there should be a clear indication of feathers. The pelican must be clearly pedaling the bicycle. The image should show the full breeding plumage of the California brown pelican.

Thereafter: Design a bike that an actual pelican can learn to ride in real life.

Fun! Any other games with REST API?

> The question is: what do they expect those companies to do?

All companies (not just tech companies) always comply with whoever is currently in charge. A business just cannot operate without complying with the law.

People tend to forget that, and also people ultimately tend to pick the fat paycheck over the ideals.

It's an ironical recurrence: tech workers complain loud and often but they're still there everyday implementing and optimizing the same "nightmare" they complain about.

> tech workers complain loud and often but they're still there everyday implementing and optimizing the same "nightmare" they complain about.

Of all the hypocrisies that are common in our industry, it's this one that I find the most offensive.

“The fact that I was not prepared to resist, in 1935, meant that all the thousands, hundreds of thousands, like me in Germany were also unprepared, and each one of these hundreds of thousands was, like me, a man of great influence or of great potential influence. Thus the world was lost.” ― Milton Sanford Mayer, They Thought They Were Free: The Germans, 1933–45

> It sounds like someone saying power tools should be outlawed in carpentry.

I see this a lot here

All metaphors break down at a certain point, but power tools and generative AI/LLMs being compared feels like somebody is romanticizing the art of programming a bit too much.

Copyright law, education, just the sheer scale of things changing because of LLMs are some things off the top of my head why "power tools vs carpentry" is a bad analogy.

if that someone is clumsy, had an active war going on against basic tools before, and wandered into the carpentry from completely different area, then power tools might be a bad idea.

On HN lately? Haven't seen anything about outlawing. But I see a lot of "powertools don't work and make me slower"

They're not powertools lol. Tech has plenty of powertools and we automated the crap out of our job already.

Writing code has never been the limiting factor, it's everything else that goes into it.

Like, I don't mind that there's a bunch of weekend warriors out here building shoddy gazebos and sheds with their brand new overpriced tools, incorrecting each other on the best way to do things. We had that with the bitcoin and NFT bros already.

What I do roll my eyes at is when the bros start talking about how they're totally going to build bridges and planes and it's gonna be soooo easy to get to new places, just slap down a bridge.

Uh huh. Y'all do not understand what building those actually entails lol.

Yes because A tech-bro AIs dream is hundreds of thousands of developers being let go and replacing them with no code tools.

Sure, replace me with AI, but I better get royalties on my public contributions. I like many other developers have kids and other responsibilities to pay for.

We did not share our work publicly to be replaced. The same way I did not lend my neighbour my car so he could run me over, that was implicit.

We’ve been doing this to other professions for half a century. Live by the sword, die by the sword.
