> By default, jit_above_cost parameter is set to a very high number (100'000). This makes sense for LLVM, but doesn't make sense for faster providers. It's recommended to set this parameter value to something from ~200 to low thousands for pg_jitter (depending on what specific backend you use and your specific workloads).

Postgres’s PREPARE is per-connection so it’s pretty limited, and then connection poolers enter the fray and often can’t track SQL-level prepares.

And then the issue is not dissimilar to Postgres’s planner issues.


Oracle’s wasn’t but I haven’t used it in a very long time so that may not be longer be true.

The problem though was that it had a single shared pool for all queries and it could only run a query if it was in the pool, which is how out DB machine would max out at 50% CPU and bandwidth. We had made some mistakes in our search code that I told the engineer not to make.


There’s also a “why clojure is the best langage for Ai” floating around (and it specifically dumps on go): https://felixbarbalet.com/simple-made-inevitable-the-economi...

AFAIK ARM is generally bi-endian, though systems using BE (whether BE32 or BE8) are few and far between.

It started as LE and added bi-endian with v3.

And BEAM was the reimplementation of the Erlang runtime, the actual model is part of the language semantics which was pretty stable by the late 80s, just with a Prolog runtime way too slow for production use.

AFAIK no. There are default stack sizes, but they're just that, defaults, and they can vary on the same system: main thread stacks are generally 8MiB (except for Windows where it's just 1) but the size of ancillary stacks is much smaller everywhere but on linux using glibc.

It should be possible to get the stack root and size using `pthread_getattr_np`, but I don't know if there's anyone bothering with that, and it's a glibc extension.


.NET bothers with it, to support RuntimeHelpers.EnsureSufficientExecutionStack [1] and other things. See the pthreads calls used to here [2].

Of course, how could a writer writing have writing chops and use writing techniques? It boggles the mind that anyone thinks that would ever happens. Must have been aliens.

A good writer knows when to use literary techniques.

They work just fine in this post.

Yeah, it's perfectly reasonable device that I often use. I love the circle reasoning being displayed:

  "this sounds like AI"
  "professional writers use this technique"
  "they can't be a professional writer, they're using AI"

No, it’s unpleasant to read. To be clear, it’s possible a person wrote this, and that would not change it being unpleasant.

Cab-top deflectors are extremely common on every truck where the cab is not tall enough to cover a standard trailer (which is common, usually only the highest end sleepers are that tall e.g. Scania's highline cab on the R and S, Volvo's globetrotter xl and xxl, ...)

For instance on this hero image from scania's site every truck but the very shortest and the very tallest have a deflector: https://www.scania.com//group/en/home/products-and-services/...

Obviously if you run higher than standard trailers, you need a custom deflector.


AFAIK nothing precludes having air bags on conventionals, it’s just optional / uncommon whereas it’s completely expected on euro trucks.

To clarify, the air bags isolate the cab from the chassis.

There is also suspension between the axles and the chassis which is 99% of the time air on the rear, leaf spring front.

I haven't come across a cab that is suspension isolated from the frame of a conventional, even though the axles are on air. Theoretically as the driver is in the sweet spot of a much longer wheelbase, rather than sitting directly over an axle.


> I haven't come across a cab that is suspension isolated from the frame of a conventional, even though the axles are on air.

They are very often on a simple suspension. The cab will have a pivoting mount at the front and sit on air springs in the back.


It’s not hard. There are European cabovers in the US (see the Bruce Wilson YouTube channel).
