Really cool!!

For all of the other commenters - this project isn't about practicality today. Obviously this isn't gonna be as good as using a cloud provider. But the tool draws a line of what is possible. Combination of making the models more efficient, and making local machines more capable can one day get us to a world where very high quality local models are economically feasible.


This doesn't seem particularly related?


I mean, given that belief in moral decline is essentially based on illusory perceptions anyway[1], it's not too surprising that someone handwringing about it would also hallucinate connections between two disparate phenomena they opted to characterize as examples of such.

If you opt to habitually rationalize human behavior in a manner that is detached from concern with nuance or driving forces then some amount of reality denial is probably inevitable

Lack of honour, low trust, the breakdown of the social contract. Seems all related to me.


y tho?


Anthropic seems to be playing the giant-tech-rent-capture game that all of the old guards have done for the past few years. We thought that the new age of AI might bring some fresh air into the mix, but I guess that optimism quickly faded.


Meta's greatest loss of the decade


This was inevitable, better now than later when the damage is less widespread. Now clawdbot (or whatever they decide to call themselves) will have to respond with better security safety nets. Individually will always naively download whatever is on the internet. Platforms needs to safeguard against that.

Remember the early days of Windows? yea it's gonna happen again with AI.


At least you won't be needing a heater for the winter


auto-generated GraphQL clients works really well if you have a larger codebase and large team. You can think of it as a forced high quality documentation.

If you are working in a small project with just a few engs. The additional lift for GraphQL might not be worth it. Especially if the team is not already well versed.


I agree with you there, having GraphQL force adherence to a schema is definitely a good thing for a larger team, but smaller teams will probably get bogged down without previous experience


why did Presto got renamed to Trino? so confusing...


Here's the renaming article that clarifies this...

https://trino.io/blog/2020/12/27/announcing-trino.html

Months after this consolidation, Facebook decided to create a competing community using The Linux Foundation®. As a first action, Facebook applied for a trademark on Presto®. This was a surprising, norm-breaking move because up until that point, the Presto® name had been used without constraints by commercial and non-commercial products for over 6 years. In September of 2019, Facebook established the Presto Foundation at The Linux Foundation®, and immediately began working to enforce this new trademark. We spent the better part of the last year trying to agree to terms with Facebook and The Linux Foundation that would not negatively impact the community, but unfortunately we were unable to do so. The end result is that we must now change the name in a short period of time, with little ability to minimize user disruption.


According to https://trino.io/blog/2020/12/27/announcing-trino.html , because of trademark registration and enforcement by Facebook.

(IMHO, PrestoSQL also looked maybe a little too much like PostgreSQL in this space.)

I'm imagining an unusually efficient brandstorming session. "OK, folks, idea hats on, there are no bad ideas... we've got Presto..." "Uh... new Presto... New-o..." "Neutrino..." "Trino?" "Trino!" "Searching it now!"


If only it were that easy. It took ages to find the new name. There is a Google doc somewhere with pages of bad names.


Hah! It may have very well looked like that given the time constraints they were working with.


This is answered in the linked article.


well, these robots will be operating in highly competitive markets offering 2-3 day shipping so Bangladeshi packers will not be in those labor markets.

With raising minimal wage in the US. We are likely looking at $10/hr in various markets. These robots run 24/7 so that is 1024365 = $87k saved per year. Even with depreciation counted in, it sounds pretty economical to me.


Unless you need a job of course. What is economical to a single manufacturer may not be for a society.
