SQL is great. I've used it to implement knapsack optimization for Daily Fantasy Sports at scale. I use it in Big Data tools and RDBMS. It's pervasive in data tech.

Feel free to innovate and bring forth other RDBMS/Data query languages and tools, perhaps something may succeed and stick as long as SQL has.

Cheers

I don't see any code. Where are the examples of use on real code?

Interesting. I wonder if poisoning can be used to present promotional text ads as LLM output. Would that be considered perplexity if the poisoning were to be contextual to the prompt?

Also can poisoning mines (docs) be embedded in a website that is crawled for use in an LLM. Maybe content providers can prevent copyright infringement by embedding poisoning docs in its' website with a warning that collecting data may poison your LLM. Making poisoning the new junkyard dog.

Interesting information that they chose modernc.org/sqlite over mattn/go-sqlite3 as a Quality-of-Life improvement. Going forward I guess I'll do the same for new projects.

The NATS Jetstream use case is something I'm curious about.

Cheers and keep up the great work on Litestream.

All the public benchmarks (and my own applications) indicate that there is only a small (often unnoticeable) performance penalty associated with modernc.org/sqlite and this is far outweighed by the ability to eliminate CGO. I'd use it on future projects without hesitation.

I wonder if there are any studies of professional chefs and their long-term health. I see video after video of chefs cooking in close proximity to oil cooked food, wood burning setups (BBQ), waiting for cooking oil to smoke, even smoking while cooking, etc.

If there should be a cohort that would be the canary in the coal mine, it would be professional chefs, who day-in and day-out cook for a living over several hours per day. Yet, I have not heard of any studies raising alarms for the profession.

Cheers

Some excellent ideas presented in the article. It doesn't matter if they all pan out, just that they expand our thinking into the realm of AI and its role in the future of business startups and operations.

Revenue per employee, to me, is an aside that distracts from the ideas presented.

I would be interested in seeing the elapsed time to recovery for each location up to us-central-1.

Is this information available anywhere?

Uses the acronym MDP several times before defining it. So perhaps not an introductory paper, but geared to those already immersed in the field.

“Markov Decision Process (MDPs)” appears on the first page of the table of contents and is defined on the page indicated there.

The term is also used/linked in the fourth paragraph of the Wikipedia page for Reinforcement Learning.

It’s much more a table-stakes for talking about what problems the field tries to solve term than an exclusive preserve of the deeply immersed term.

It’s a bit like a primer on machine learning using the word “regression” casually a few times before actually defining it. Good editing practice? No. An actual road block to learning? Also no.

This happened to me when Oracle first started in the cloud business. I actively avoid doing business with their cloud services.

I think I learned the lesson the hard way.

I did this with Claude over the holidays. Putting Claude in the role as a guesser and comparing the guess to another experience human player. It turns out they both matched each other.

That's a nice experiment! I think codenames could definietly be an evaluation method for LLMs.

Elo on different card games/board games would be a great eval metric now that the systems are general enough to play Codenames, chess, poker…

totally agree!

It would be fun to build one, perhaps mediated by an app, where you have to guess whether your spymaster is a human or an AI based on the quality of their choices.

The average human is quite bad. It really works well when the spymaster is (a) experienced and (b) familiar with the other players.

It's the (b) case I'm interested in. Like the spymaster loses if they can't subtly indicate to their friends that they're the real deal. Otherwise the robots win.

i thought of adding a feature where you can get your own spy master. you can give it all your personal info and the clues would be customized. the botteleneck is the other human spymaster has to help with updating the game state cus I(guesser) can't look at the spy master view.
