I've also found LLMs to perform poorly at DevOps tasks. Perhaps there's a lack of training data. On the bright side this hints at better job security for platform engineers.
Goal: Setup a minimal working example where pods in GKE and EKS can access two buckets, one in S3 and another in GCS with no static credentials or runtime configuration. In other words, running the below commands should just work from within a pod in both clusters:
They never mention the economist he collaborated with in inventing game theory: Oskar Morgenstern. There were also collaborators involved in developing "Von Neumann" architecture. He was just the biggest name involved. He was a genius, but there's some politics at work in who is remembered for collaborative intellectual work.
Did you read it? They do mention Morgernstern multiple times in the article. Morgernstern's name is mentioned 10 times in the article. For instance:
>"This is most evident in his treatment of von Neumann’s pioneering work in the social sciences, the 1944 book Theory of Games and Economic Behavior, written in collaboration with the economist Oskar Morgenstern."
von Neumann wasn't a lone genius, he was a god, the only "human" completely beyond the bounds of our comprehension. Accepting that is the first required step to understanding his contributions to the modern world.
I agree he’s a crazy genius, but disagree he’s a different species. I firmly believe that there are a ton of Ramanujans that die in poverty or working at some factory everyday because they just aren’t in the position to prove themselves (or even know that they could be a genius.)
Imagine if Hardy had never received the letter from Ramanujan for whatever reason. Like a regular, run of the mill Royal Mail mistake. Ramanujan would have died in obscurity, with no one understanding his genius.
If anything you're losing some understanding when you try to see him as something other than human. Absolutely outstanding, sure, but not something else entirely.
> Nobel Laureate Hans Bethe could not comprehend von Neumann's incredible intellect: "I have sometimes wondered whether a brain like von Neumann's does not indicate a species superior to that of man."
He's certainly not alone in that opinion either, cf. Oppenheimer and the rest of "the martians" [1]; I've read several books about him, and the history of mathematics in general.
> I have known a great many intelligent people in my life. I knew Planck, von Laue and Heisenberg. Paul Dirac was my brother in law; Leo Szilard and Edward Teller have been among my closest friends; and Albert Einstein was a good friend, too. But none of them had a mind as quick and acute as Jansci [John] von Neumann. I have often remarked this in the presence of those men and no one ever disputed me.
But Einstein's understanding was deeper even than von Neumann's. His mind was both more penetrating and more original than von Neumann's. And that is a very remarkable statement. Einstein took an extraordinary pleasure in invention. Two of his greatest inventions are the Special and General Theories of Relativity; and for all of Jansci's brilliance, he never produced anything as original.
This quote really goes to the heart of it. I think he was being fairly precise here in the use speed and acuity, contrasted with insight and originality. Our brains just like the rest of our bodies have a lot of different capabilities. I don't think most of us would find it particularly meaningful to compare the strongest lifter with the fastest runner, yet related to intelligence people do this sort of thing all the time. This quote seems a better informed view.
Sure, as a metaphorical device to underline his exceptional contributions to science/mathematics/etc. and lightning-quick intellect. But not in seriousness, as a "first required step to understanding", like you phrased it in your original comment.
Maybe I'm just a bit allergic to the almost cult-like behaviour some von Neumann fans show.
much of the the physical work for the report on EDVAC was indeed done by others or discovered by them, but his formalisation of it would not have been possible by those individuals.
To even hint that he is somehow undue the reverence he is afforded is wrong and any exploration of his work would easily dispell such notions.
He is mentioned in the book, _The Man from the Future_, which gives the impression that Von Neumann did the heavy lifting their collaboration. It paints a relatively unflattering picture of Morgenstern.
Learn FastAPI instead (for new projects where you don't want the template-based MVC). Django is showing its age and comes with some unpalatable design decisions, particularly in its active record ORM. Django's most useful feature is arguably automated DB migrations, but this can also be achieved with SQLAlchemy+Alembic
I've dabbled with FastAPI a few times when starting new projects, but the lack of a high-quality ORM always had me switch right back to Django after a few hours. Sure, you can use SQLAlchemy, but it's a miserable experience compared to the Django ORM + admin interface.
Sure, Django is mostly designed around server-side rendering of full pages, but with DRF you can build REST APIs perfectly fine, and there's also http://django-ninja.rest-framework.com/ which I think is more or less similar to FastAPI in the way you write code with it.
