Just make them put support for manifest v2 back.

For lower end, absolutely. For higher end enterprise space? Not so much. For me, AWS is the gold standard for product support and price at enterprise scale, and I do think I have ever worked on an enterprise application that could orchestrate 100% on its own (only for bad reasons, this is what I do at home).

I do hope a lack of reliance on these services leads to better technological solutions to come out of Europe and make its way back to the states. The enterprise made the Faustian bargain with these CSPs, and although the cloud networking is somewhat nice, the applications are a disaster.

Yeah, I'm not even that down on using LLMs to search through and organize text that it was trained on. But in it's current iteration? It's fancy stack overflow, but stack overflow runs on like 6 servers. I'll be setting up some LLM stuff self hosted to play around with it, but I'm not ditching my brain's ability to write software any time soon.

What are you guys working on where chatgpt can figure it out? Honestly, I haven't been able to get a scrap of working code beyond a trivial example out of that thing or any other LLM.

Another commentor pointed out a legitimate use case, but it's not even worth thinking about that much. De-duplocated is usually a word you use in data science to talk aboutakong sure your dataset is "hygienic" and that you aren't duplicating data points. A database is much different because it is less about representing data, and more about storing it in a way that allows you to perform transactions at scale - retrieval, storage, modification, etc. Relational databases are analyzed in terms of data cardinality which essentially describes tradeoffs in representation between speed of retrieval (duplications good) vs storage efficiency (duplications bad).

The issue is that Elon is so vague and so off the mark that it is very hard to believe that he even has the first clue about what he is a talking about. Even you are confused just by reading it. It is all a tactic to convince others that he is smarter than he is while doing extreme damage to the hardworking people that actually make this stuff possible. Have you noticed that the man has never come to a conclusion that wasn't in his interests? This is not honest intellectualism, or discussion based on technical merit. It's self serving propaganda.

No I agree, that's what I'm trying to say. Open source is the only way to create better software, but the software we have is pretty good. Better software won't cure what ails us.

It's a useless discussion open source is as good as to is gonna get technology wise. Their will always be a problem as long as profitable enterprise is what people rely on to make a living and feed their families. Fixing that requires more than open source software.

It's so mindbending to see people that nerdanwere yelling about on the Internet about drm and micro transactions literally protect rapists and abusers. Like, we tried warning everyone.

Honestly, might be a good thing kinda. Adoption in the front end world is out of control.

McConnel really went to bat for this dude, it's hilarious.

As someone explained in another comment, you often duplicate information due to rules around cardinality to gain improvements in retrieval an. structure. I would be pretty worried if SSSNs were being used as a a widepread primary key in any set of tables - those should generally be UUIDs that can be optimized for gashing while avoiding collisions.

Even if we are being generous to Elon, we could assume that social security payments are processed on mainframes given how many have to go out and the legacy nature of the program. Most mainframe shops I know have adapted an SQL interface for records in some capacity, but who knows what he is looking at.

Government federal IT is done at a per agency basis. I would say oracle database is pretty much the most licensed piece of software the government does use outside of Redhat Linux and windows desktop.

It really is baffling trying to make sense of what he is saying. It's like the only explanation that makes any sense at all is that he has no idea what he is talking about. Even if he knew just cursory knowledge about database cardinality you wouldn't say stuff so stupid.
