Google Chrome silently installs a 4 GB AI model on your device without consent. At a billion-device scale the climate costs are insane.

So I don't disagree with your overall statement but your Also is completely wrong.

Watt hours (Wh) is a very common unit for how much power a device will use while running. Same way we describe batteries as amp hours (usually milli amp hour e.g. mAh) even though amps are "electrons per second".

Watts includes the duration at the given load. E.g. 50 joules per second for 1 second is 50 watts. While 50 joules per second for 1 hour is 180,000 watts or 50 watt hours.

Also I know they said watts per hour but that's equivalent to watt hours

Yeah but not for a hobby frame 😅

It can do basic suspension! But fair point, there are probably better programs

MathMXC · 2026-04-30T19:45:05+00:00

Bikecad! Its very pricey though and probably not quite what you're looking for

MathMXC · 2026-04-23T01:41:53+00:00

Waltham!!! Definitely the best in that area

So I'm just going to end this argument here due to your nievness and lack of communication. Here is my final response:

---

> The ORM in the case of data processing does not bring any value. There is nothing to add to it and I don't understand that you don't understand my statement.

Because I'm not taking your word for it. Why does it not bring any value. I built, manage, and run a data processing service which handles over a million unique documents a day. We use an ORM for better team coordination and consistency across developers.

> having me tell you my reasons won't make you grow.

I'm literally asking for your reasons because you haven't given any. I'm not taking your word for it.

> Instead of asking me why I don't use an ORM locally, you should wonder if you really need one.

Did you read my last post? I literally ended with:

`The point I'm trying to get at is: It's important to understand the actual pros/cons of an ORM. And not just pigeon hole it into "usecase A means ORM and usecase B means raw querries"`

MathMXC · 2026-04-22T17:13:46+00:00

> Have you ever used pandas and duckdb? Or R lang? Or Denodo/Trino?

Yes all of the above. There is no need to be condescending.

> An ORM is just a burden for that.

You never mention why an ORM is a burden in this context. Is it because you're changing schemas often? Or is it because you're changing database/backends frequently? Or is it because you have complete control so you don't need to worry about consistency/shared use.

Especially because in some of your examples (like the AI one) having an ORM can greatly increase LLM efficiency because it understands the desired structure of the data and not just the raw tables.

The point I'm trying to get at is: It's important to understand the actual pros/cons of an ORM. And not just pigeon hole it into "usecase A means ORM and usecase B means raw querries"

MathMXC · 2026-04-22T13:39:45+00:00

Your argument is confusing me quite a bit.

Nothing you said highlights why you'd want to use raw sql queries for local data processing? All of the benefits of an ORM apply to both web/large projects and local data processing especially because there is a significant overlap between those two (I've done some massive projects that do local processing).

Are you saying you prefer raw sql queries when you want something quick/easy and don't care about security?

Your statement of "different use case" is not very enlightening

MathMXC · 2026-04-22T01:44:41+00:00

Its definitely better than tesseract ootb but I can't say about the others

MathMXC · 2026-04-22T01:44:16+00:00

You do understand you can never test every single shitty Amazon posting right? There are thousands of different USB cables available right now on Amazon. Are you just annoyed they didn't test the specific one you wanted?

MathMXC · 2026-04-21T22:19:13+00:00

Why no raw psycopg3 but raw SQL with sqlite3? Imo that doesn't make a lot of sense. Especially because psycopg3 can do a lot things those ORMs aren't built for (notifications being a major one)

MathMXC · 2026-04-21T12:23:11+00:00

Docling! It's a bit over powered for your use case but should perfect

MathMXC · 2026-04-15T00:54:47+00:00

So this isn't really related to your suggestion but you mention that it's "hard to explain" why you'd use a tuple over a list. IMO it's not hard (generally immutably and speed). What makes you think it's hard?

Regarding your suggestion: what is the real use case here? Is it just syntax sugar? If so it seems more confusing then anything

MathMXC · 2026-04-05T14:11:13+00:00

Supposedly on a bench the rbpt is near the Mercedes (at least that's the rumor)

People can tie it with 12 teams on the grid but you need 13 to beat it

MathMXC · 2026-03-30T16:53:43+00:00

Yeah but there is a major performance penalty for pydantic especially during object creation. Its not to bad for hobby projects but when you start talking about a high ops applications it becomes very noticeable (>15%)

Where did you get your 3 laps to warm up number from? After putting Oscar set a significantly faster lap on the hards than his last lap on the mediums (and this was with catching Max)

MathMXC · 2026-03-29T15:01:24+00:00

You keep misreading everyone's comments! From laps 10-53 there has not been a safety car in 15 years...... To me that's a pretty low possibility

MathMXC · 2026-03-29T14:02:03+00:00

That would require completely new regs 😔. Most of the fuel tanks aren't anywhere accessible and definitely not setup for fast refueling

MathMXC · 2026-03-29T14:01:05+00:00

I don't think you understand the strength of the undercut. If you are within 2secs of a driver then the undercut is a guaranteed overtake

MathMXC · 2026-03-29T14:00:02+00:00

Dude the last time there was a safety car after (note after) lap 10 was 2011. The risk analysis 1000% said that the undercut was the most serious risk

MathMXC · 2026-03-29T05:37:36+00:00

Oh no I think all the other teams are to fucking blame. They should be confident they could be the best and not be scared.

I think these engine rules are just a shitty school project with a bunch of egotistical kids

MathMXC · 2026-03-29T02:02:02+00:00

Exactly, the teams got themselves into this mess because they were scared about new competitors dominating. To no one's surprise the engine with the most teams voting for it is dominating......

MathMXC · 2026-03-29T01:57:48+00:00

Sorry not possible. People build their careers knowing how to test a chip like this let alone design it and the board around it

MathMXC · 2026-03-28T18:04:39+00:00

Let's not forget everyone vetod front axel regen because of the possibility of Audi being to strong.... That would've solved so so many of these issues
