This is so true. If you just want the data then use a different store (e.g. NoSQL) and everything will be quicker, lighter weight and slower to develop…
It's because it was originally developed for smartphones: originally normally trieted as devices, then adding the ability to act as hosts, therefore you have a USB host "on the go". The more modern version and terminology is USB-C dual-role support, which is the same basic thing but using the USB-PD protocol to negotiate instead of a special marker cable (which the product page does also use).
I would agree with scale orders of magnitude higher than you can possibly imagine. But once you know what your scaling limits are (and there are always are limits) and what the (pre)failure behaviour looks like… we’ll you don’t have to fix them…
In almost all cases very quickly. A LLM doesn’t have the ability to perform calculations but instead it feeds text tokens from the prompt into a model which predicts what the next tokens should be.
It can’t do basic maths but based on everything it’s been trained on it can give the impression it can.
Recursive feedback isn’t likely to improve the prompt unless there is some testing and feedback provided in the Python script.
You could play a game of chess and while the LLM knows the rules of chess it isn’t actually playing chess, it is calling upon patterns it has learned to predict text tokens that are appropriate for the given prompt. So opening moves will be sound, but it would quickly go off the rails and start hallucinating…
Given how they work, it is amazing they give the appearance of knowing anything. Even asking “how did you do that?” gives generally compelling answers.
The Bitcoin price is fundamentally driven by the cost of electricity: if you're a miner, you can spend $40K on electricity (on average) to mine a new coin, or if existing coins cost less money to buy, you can simply buy them instead (and make a profit in the process).
The goal of miners it to acquire coins, and they can either buy electricity and compute machines and "trade" that expense for coins, or they can buy coins directly. Either way, miners will do whatever is cheapest to get new coins.
What happens when the price is so high that it cannot be used to purchase food? I guess it could buy a higher echelon of assets. But what demand is going to drive the price if the currency cannot meet basic needs? Can demand drive price if a commodity is entirely illiquid?
That's a good point that I didn't articulate and understanding of in my comment. I guess I meant more so that if the price gets higher and remains high, then its holders will not or are not selling, and I wonder if how long this illiquidity could sustain the price of bitcoin.
