Great explanation of why a branchless approach results in such a speed up. I've never really had to deal with performance optimization at this level. Generally it's probably best not to get too involved letting the CPU black box d

Any source on this? Market data was already implying a hike by year end and the Fed held steady so not sure what the takeaway is here

Slightly off-topic, but can anyone comment on the quality of the EV charging infrastructure in the EU? Outside of owning an EV and charging it at home/work, are fast chargers reliable and abundant enough for road trips? I recently look

Yes, but also this particular company has the means to justify the expense. I think there's enough opportunity at scale in the industry to really change the business landscape. Aside from that (and assuming a large enough sample size)

What's different this time around? The author made compelling points regarding capex cycles and supply/demand imbalances. So how does NVDA continue to deliver these returns over the next 10 years? Are the 4 firms driving >60% o

As someone who hasn't yet jumped into working with multiple agents simultaneously, where does a tool like gastown help you the most?

Gappy is one of the more decorated, public figures in the space. That PDF gives a candid overview of what it's like to interview/work in the industry.

Interesting article, but about halfway through what was a convincing analysis of an ongoing diesel shortage turned into a fear piece on the US/China relations and a corresponding economic collapse. Diesel production capacity is limited

Start small and invest where you have an edge. No edge? Buy the market and keep some gunpowder on the side when an opportunity comes up. Small players have advantages the big guys don't have at scale and vice versa. The same goes for m

My use case isn't IOT, but about once a month I get a massive data dump from a vendor. Think tens of millions of rows and 100+ columns. Cleaning, ingesting and querying this data via standard RDBMS is a slow and brittle process. There

Exciting project and definitely something I'd like to explore using. I particularly like the look of the API ergonomics. A few questions: - is the schema inferred from the data? - can/does the schema evolve? - are custom partition

I don't think Spotify and streaming killed the music subculture, it's still very much alive but requires more intention to find. Back in the day how did you find new music? Pre-2000s it was likely MTV/radio for mainstream, or

I'd love to see a production grade release of this package with async and BCP support. MSSQL has always been a second class citizen (and rightfully so) amongst its open source peers and now it's nice to see MS dedicating resources

I think the Catholic church's actions could be rationalized through the lens of preserving influence. Descartes' ideas could be viewed as fostering a mindset of self-reliance and independence which is antithetical to a dependence

In other more heavily regulated industries, whistleblowers are fortunately compensated and protected for raising such ethical issues. I wonder how far tech can go before we start to see similar government agencies and rules put in place to

This whole comment is a bit too sensational for me, however I want to highlight one fragment: > When you have so many people alive, who can do nothing in exchange for food [...] AI, for now, only exists in the digital space and that&#x27

Yeah I see what you mean, you can always disable specific features, but I think that's a habit mypy tries to enforce. They consider redefining a variable bad practice. Even in rust you have to be explicit about doing the same thing wit

If using python with type annotations, linters like ruff and mypy do a great job at identifying issues. It's no substitute for tests and nor will it give you the same guarantees that rust will at compile time. But I think it improves t

This is a really exciting development. Can anyone currently using this chime in on working with pyodide/dependency management in this setting? I imagine that this reduces the iteration time for developing excel integrations. It's

One of the unique aspects of dark pools (and this can vary by venue) is that orders are segmented according to the source type (e.g. retail, client of the operator of the venue, institutional trader, etc) and the quality/grading of the
