Interesting! From his post,
Mikhail advised me to use balanced trees instead of extensible hashing
And
I never told Mikhail that Oracle had tried implementing a filesystem using balanced trees, and its performance was terrible leading to most insiders in the industry concluding that balanced trees performed poorly for filesystem File size patterns.
Of course, that filesystem exists today as btrfs.
It’s not discontinued. They backed away from that plan in favor of a battery tech refresh. https://arstechnica.com/cars/2023/07/gm-announces-a-new-ultium-based-chevrolet-bolt-during-q2-report/
People on lemmy really seem to spend a lot of time thinking and talking about reddit. Why is that?
Yeah, hopefully. Musk loves pushing boundaries. Eventually you wonder if he pushes too far. As other comments here suggest, though, the one thing he really highlights is the arbitrary nature and general inconsistency of these boundaries. The rules may be written down, but they don’t apply equally. It’s helpful to be reminded of that sometimes.
Its use of a single letter app name did, too, and we see how quickly they bent the rules to accommodate the name change.
I doubt it. When companies lay people off, they want to be able to choose who they let go. They don’t have that choice here. No well-managed company will value “works in the office” over “gets shit done”.
Just ask ChatGPT; it’s better than humans at proving its humanity with these stupid things.
