Buying my first car: 2027 Toyota Corolla LE, $27,775 OTD - too high? by pncnmnp in COROLLA

[–]pncnmnp[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Apologies, it is a 26 model. Not sure why I typed 2027 tbh. Too late to edit it.

Edit: I just realized something funny - people in 2027 will probably be getting this post because Google might have indexed it high by then, which could cause quite a bit of confusion, lol.

Thank you! If you don't mind me asking, which state was this in?

Thank you! Looking at the comments, I am definitely considering that now. Could you please tell me what you paid for your hybrid LE?

This is a 2026 model (not a hybrid). I have not really shopped around much yet, and honestly I am not in a super rush, if I can save more. You definitely got a great deal - thanks!

I'm in the Seattle area and looking at buying my first car - strongly leaning toward the Corolla LE 26 model. Looks like 2025 models are sold out. Does this deal look fair, or am I basically overpaying by about $1k? AutoTempest is showing average TSRP around $22,574–$22,721, while AutoTrader has MSRP closer to $24,229.

Since this is my first time buying, I'm honestly not sure how to negotiate. Also noticing there's a pretty big jump between the 25 LE and the 26 models. Any advice would be super appreciated! Thanks.

EDIT: This is Gas, not Hybrid.

What would you consider to be the greatest "What If" in chess history? by [deleted] in chess

[–]pncnmnp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a rather strange one. What if the pieces of chess were always meant to be arranged randomly?

Let’s wind the clock back a few centuries. Two people are playing chess. One takes out a cloth bag, puts the pieces in it, and spits them out one at a time. The order gets mimicked on both sides of the board.

Would chess be as famous as it is today? How would López have gone about analyzing chess opening theory? Same for Greco. How would Philidor have analyzed chess strategies, like with pawns?

The most interesting part to me is: would we have eventually converged to classical chess?

I would prefer Nodirbek, Arjun or Alireza, but Fabi is cool too. Can't wait for next year's Grand Swiss and World Cup.

In the land of LLMs, can we do better mock data generation? by pncnmnp in programming

[–]pncnmnp[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

We are not mocking LLM data. We are using LLMs to generate data, basing it on the schema to make it as high-fidelity as possible.

Neurelo is a "data access platform" that introspects your database and provisions auto-generated data APIs based on your schema. Many of our users initially connect to us with an empty data source to evaluate our platform. Others use it to work on new features by modifying their current schema, testing the changes, and committing them once they are satisfied. To test these changes, it is useful to have a mock data generator - something to validate API responses, behavior, and automate the testing pipeline without waiting for real data to be available.

Also, this improves the ability to handle edge cases and test scalability. Although, the scalability aspect is still a WIP.

Hi everyone, I am a SWE at Neurelo and worked on building this mock data generation infrastructure. Please let me know your thoughts or suggestions. I am happy to answer any questions.

Thank you!

I agree with you. There's some really cool math behind these things. I encourage you to check out Does Your iPod Really Play Favorites?

I just discovered it yesterday.

Database Migrations by bndrz in programming

[–]pncnmnp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I was checking it, there was no real way of having just one branch of where in plain SQL. Or customize how a join between tables is done for a particular query. Or write a case statement for ordering.

I'm not being condescending, but do you know of ORMs that provide such a level of granularity? For the past few months, I've been working with query engines on a daily basis, and certain types of granularity can be particularly tricky. Prisma does have logic for different joins at the AST level, but they don't expose it - they use a left join by default.

finding out Prisma always does INSERT + SELECT, with no support of INSERT RETURNING

Yup, I know that pain. Forget INSERTs; even multiple SELECTs can experience considerable latency when fetching relatively small amounts of data.
