This is dumb because it's literally doing what it has been instructed to do, as well as given access to means to carry out those actions. Just another hype mechanism for OpenAI.
I was with the article until this final point about integrated solutions. I see the argument around data lock-in, but integration is typically non-trivial unless it's coming from the same provider. Plus, I'm certain cloudflare would equally love to provide more services in an integrated way.
Is it possible to backfill a materialized view? I'm maybe confused, but does this potentially replace a traditional data lake or is it specifically for streaming applications?
Ah ok, yeah TBH I didn't read the article, but was guessing from the headline this is what they meant since in exponentially scaling problems theres always room at the top (unless explicitly proven otherwise).
Title could also be "Researchers find a better heuristic for a class of exponentially scaling problems."
There's no claim to have changed the complexity class, so"exponentially faster" just means the problem is still exponentially in problem size, but the exponent is smaller.
From the looks of it, though, it is a nice result because it has pretty wide applicability.
This plot essentially ignores all other computational science. People in HPC have been operating at these scales for awhile, and yet don't make claims about their field taking over the world.
