Brilliant. This reminds me of (but is way more advanced) a single-file Python NoSQL key-value DB that used pickling to store data. It was FAST. Can't remember what happened to it. Anybody?
I wrote something similiar (minimal nosql key-value DB) and it was less fast than (specifically lower throughput, I did not measure other metrics) Redis, despite some passing attempts to make it fast (like using async/await for all IO).
What a wonderfully visual example of the crap LLMs turn everything into. I am eagerly awaiting the collapse of the LLM bubble. JetBrains added this crap to their otherwise fine series of IDEs and now I have to keep removing randomly inserted import statements and keep fixing hallucinated names of functions suggested instead of the names of functions that I have already defined in the same file. Lack of determinism where we expect it (most of the things we do, tbh) is creating more problems than it is solving.
I used to work with manager who told us to "have balls, deploy straight to prod" We spend a month cleaning this up. The other time when another manager demanded I "run this script" from the iphone he shoved in my face a whole warehouse went down in Ireland a month before Christmas and the Police were involved. There is an irrational push to deploy AI everywhere for no reason whatsoever. It, well the LLM part of it, is bad tech and all those "AI success stories" are pure hot air.
A similar thing is going on at Amazon. Their AI is rewriting perfectly good product descriptions provided by manufacturers and I noticed that I stopped buying there, because I cannot find out what it is that I am buying or how much of it I am buying. I started shopping at sites that sell same products, but do not change manufacturers' descriptions. I have a feeling that post AI bubble we'll be doing a lot of manual cleanup of information "improved" by AI.
I wish they published CPU and graphic performance comparisons vs M1. Apart from coding I do a lot of large photo (100MP) and video (4K+) file processing and I am interested in core graphics performance. Talking centipedes or flying trains are not my thing so their AI benchmarks are useless to me.
Props! I hope they keep it and don't use it as a play to get a better deal from a commercial provider. I am jaded after seeing too many "digital transformation" projects running on a 3-5 year cycle of switching from Offie 365 to Google then back to Office 365.
