That's pretty much the flow I formalized here: https://github.com/nvidia/rumpelpod Instead of generating patches, this exposes the agent's checkout as a git remote though. Most similar tools (and I believe yo

Yeah I should add a video to the README. Have you tried running `rumpel codex foo123` in one of your repositories, asking it to commit something, then `rumpel merge foo123` to get the changes back to your local checkout? Use a different ter

What's the point? Sweden has lots of potential for long-term energy storage as hydro power, which makes wind power viable. Northern Germany is mostly flat and there's not even close to enough storage capacity (on the order of ~wee

How many solar panels does the UK produce?

> similar as in Sweden Sweden's electricity is ~40% hydro, ~27% nuclear and ~23% wind. How is this in any way comparable to Northern Germany?

by mbid 4mo ago
Not sure if you're serious, but this was not viable in the 2010s, or even today in Germany at all because of Germany's high latitude: No matter how efficient solar panels become, they will always be more economical to operate clos
8.
by mbid 4mo ago
Solar panel production is extremely energy intensive. Germany has one of the highest energy costs in the world. So there was no way for Germany to maintain a competitive solar panel industry.

This is outside of my expertise, but wouldn't multiple threads each submitting a single operation in parallel have the same effect?

Right, I think the argument should be that transitioning from a synchronous to asynchronous programming model can improve the performance of a previously CPU/Memory-bound system so that it saturates the IO interface.

by mbid 5mo ago
I read this argument ("async is for I/O-bound applications") often, but it makes no sense to me. If your app is I/O bound, how does reducing the work the (already idling!) CPU has to spend on context switching improve th

How many systems are there that can't just spawn a thread for each task they have to work on concurrently? This has to be a system that is A) CPU or memory bound (since async doesn't make disk or network IO faster) and B) must wor

I believe these ideas are much more mature and better explored for code gen, but similar techniques are useful also in the frontend of compilers, in the type checker. There's a blog post [1] by Niko Matsakis where he writes about addin

If you're interested in the details, you might want to have a look at papers [1] or [2]. You can add existentials in this framework, which basically means that the lifting problems mentioned above don't need to have unique solut

I actually started working on Eqlog because I wanted to use it to implement a type checker. You might want to skim the posts in my series on implementing a Hindley-Milner type system using Eqlog, starting here [1]. The meat is in posts 3 -

The post mentions the idea that querying a database D can be understood algebraically as enumerating all morphisms Q -> D, where Q is the "classifying" database of the query, i.e. a minimal database instance that admits a singl

For me, the main problem with most tools that render to HTML was that they don't support all math typesetting libraries that latex supports. I used to work with category theory, where it's common to use the tikz-cd library to type

by mbid 3y ago
If you're going to send out math as SVGs anyway, you can also just use your normal latex to PDF renderer (e.g. pdflatex) on each formula, and then convert the output PDFs to SVGs. That way, you get the same output you'd get with l

This is also the natural solution when you're using Datalog to compute with the AST: Datalog operates on relations/tables, so associating types to AST nodes can be accomplished using a table with two columns: One for the ID repres

However, using a Hilbert Curve for sharding doesn't seem like the best approach. Yes, that's also what I thought. Searching for "same size k-means" yields a simple postprocessing step to even out the clusters produced
