This is the correct answer

@charliermarsh I mean in SQL server most tables are considered clustered indexes 😛

@uyintans @almmaasoglu Yeah, the monetization window of frontier models ages like milk. The are most valuable at release and quickly drops off the moment a new model is the new frontier.

@CharuruCha14310 @teortaxesTex That's my read of it as well.

@_lopopolo I assumed it was 100% a meme

@kcosr Ah! That makes sense. Yeah, I suspect the pressure to benchmax creates a lot of perverse incentives in current RL.

Something that keeps me up at night is the amount of miscompiled software running in the wild.

There’s a famous story, “the Core 59 problem” from Facebook where seemingly random files were missing in one of their Spark databases.

After herculean levels of debugging, they narrowed the problem down to a single worker box, on a single CPU core, that was literally doing math wrong.

The initial bug-reproducer was 430k(!) lines of code. Eventually they managed to create a 60-line snippet of assembly that reproduced the issue 100% of the time.

What spooks me out is the possibility of an accidental durable artifact getting propagated to clean machines via compilation. Some (small) % of CPU cores in the wild are just plain bad, bad cores can compile static programs, said static programs can get signed and distributed, thus spreading an “infection” to perfectly healthy machines!

@davewiner Feedly was able to transfer your feeds from Google Reader when it died. I bought a lifetime membership and have been happy with it ever since.

@thoughtlesslabs Isn't that just called a MUD? 😛

@KiddSpade1 Party House is a similar genre and easily could have been on the NES I think.

@spectraimsim There a saying "locks people honest people honest".

That said, I think the success of Steam is an indicator that there are some people who would buy a game if pirating it was say physically impossible.
