Will you maintain a connection to CMU? If so, what will you continue doing and at what percent of effort?

Yes, but they function as sister companies right now rather than one company.

Agreed. The ARM AGI CPU supports a newer version of the vectorized instructions and has matrix math extensions that the AmpereOne M doesn’t. Also has almost twice the memory bandwidth. One paper at least, the AGI CPU seems like a better ch

I own one of these systems. My interpretation is the Ampere systems are targeted at lower cost scale out. The Ampere Altra CPUs are limited to DDR4. The raw single core performance doesn’t match Intel or AMD offerings. You get a lot of

Since you are very focused on specific Nvidia hardware, I wonder if Nvidia would either buy you out to benefit from your tech or implement their own version without your involvement. Seems risky to me as a potential customer.

I used to think of D as the same category as C# and Java, but I realized that it has two important differences. (I am much more experienced with Java/JVM than C#/.Net, so this may not all apply.) 1. Very load overhead calling of

This seems like a great way to group semantically-related statements, reduce variable leakage, and reduce the potential to silently introduce additional dependencies on variables. Seems lighter weight (especially from a cognitive load pers

They are analyzing models trained on classification tasks. At the end of the day, classification is about (a) engineering features that separate the classes and (b) finding a way to represent the boundary. It's not surprising to me t

Time to fork and bring back removed features. :). An advantage of it being AGPL licensed.

Maybe two different things here: SBCs that run Linux versus microcontrollers (MCUs). MCUs are lower power, have less overhead, and can perform hard real-time tasks. Most of what Arduino focuses on are MCUs. The equivalent is the Raspberry

I'm not sure if I'm understanding correctly, but it reminds me of the kernel trick. The distances between the training samples and a target sample are computed, the distances are scaled through a kernel function, and the scaled d

I really wish you guys would change the name since the product has moved so far away from the goals and concepts in the original publication. :). I love the product and what you are doing -- it's definitely needed and valuable.

Thanks! I’ll take a look at quadlet. I find that I tend to package one-off tasks as containers as well. For example, create database tables and users. Compose supports these sort of things. Ansible actually makes it easy to use and bloc

Ok one more to add that is a kind-of an abuse of containers: Some compute cluster solutions (like those used for HPC) are using containers to manage software installations on the clusters. They are trying to unify containers with the stan

by ibgeek 2y ago
One of the goals of containers are to unify the development and deployment environments. I hate developing and testing code in containers, so I develop and test code outside them and then package and test it again in a container. Container

Good write up. The only real bias I can detect is that the author seems to conflate their (lack of) familiarity with ease of use. I bet if they spent a few months using DuckDB and Polars on a daily basis, they might find some of the tasks

I think the title is misleading. This isn't really about either language in production environments. As other commenters mentioned, a post about production would cover topics like whether there were any tooling / dependency upda

It's not clear from the article whether actors offer significant benefits (or disadvantages) for data modeling versus the traditional OO paradigm. The article reads more like an introduction that describes the problem and teases a sol

The article seems to be smashing together two (seemingly) unrelated topics and doesn't offer much in the way of a solution. What alternative design does the author propose? Is it possible to solve the problem with traditional object-

Biological trees don’t make predictions. Second or third sentence contains the phrase “randomized tree ensembles not only make predictions.”

Multi-tenant stuff is very interesting to me. Do you provide any per-tenant resource limits or prioritization (storage, memory, network [rates plus total], CPU)? Anything to limit the impact of noisy neighbors? Do you provide per-tenant ac
