with the amount of traction this has gotten... coming with a clear set of experiments even on arxiv paper would be of great help to showcase your improvements. And if they're easily reproducible, they could get integrated in the mainst

Actively doing this. It indeed forces me to think things through, organize thoughts and speak them out. I open paint/miro to draw. It's good practice.

and with little data (i.e. <10Mb), this matters much less than accessibility and easy understanding of the data using a simple text editor or jq in the terminal + some filters.

it's skills first and then money and hardware for scale A more skilled person that understands all the underlying steps will always be more efficient in scaling up due to knowing where to allocate more. basically... you always need the

Can you append new columns to a file stored on disk without reading it all in mempey? Somehoe this is beyond parquet capabilities.

Yeah, but if you can do topologies based on latencies you may get some decent tradeoffs. For example with N=1M nodes each doing batch updates in a tree manner, i.e the all reduce is actually layered by latency between nodes.

I've played years of KZ and HNS after years of playing competitive CS on local communities (old PGL in romania!). I got over 6k hours in steam CS1.6 + many more on "non-steam". That game shaped me. I even learned the basics o

Tbh, the web won the application platform mostly because it's a standard. Everybody knows html, css and a little JS. On the other hand, for mobile apps, there is still a device-specific mentality. Imagine web apps being built with a di

Mine is much more barebone: - one single machine - nginx proxy - many services on the same machine; some are internal, some are supposed to be public, are all accessible via the web! - internal ones have a humongous large password for HTTP

the last point got me. How can you idiomatically do a read only request with complex filters? For me both PUT and POST are "writable" operations, while "GET" are assumed to be read only. However, if you need to encode th

At work we have a pretty big Python monorepo. The way we scale it is by having many standalone CLI mini apps ( about 80) atm with most of them outputting json/parquet in GCS or bigquery tables. Inputs are the same. I insisted a lot on

I meant that they should be separate tools that can be piped together. For example: you have 1 directory of many files (1Gb in total) `zip out.zip dir/` This results in a single out.zip file that is, let's say 500Mb (1:2 compressi

couldn't agree more! We need to separate and design modules as unitary as possible: - zip should ARCHIVE/COMPRESS, i.e. reduce the file size and create a single file from the file system point of view. The complexity should go in

I think Open Weights is a better name for AI models that don't share the reproducible training scripts and data.

one answer is due to the fact that humans also do this with just 2 pretty bad cameras and a lot of offloading to the cortex. It also simplifies the stack a lot to have a single set of sensors, so the software becomes mostly: getting good tr

I'm in the 'visualising the words as text' category, and I've always thought I have a bad memory compared to other friends, though I can recall every little detail of large software projects that I've been in. Durin

can confirm that it is a nice thing to work with parquet files. Before this, we've worked for ~1 year with CSVs (I know the horror) and we made an effort to port all the 'legacy' code to Parquet files We interface with BigQue

I think this latest profit-driven crap made me finally switch to HN as a 'main' platform for news. I'll miss /r/machinelearning, but posts here are like a combination of programming + ml so, I guess that's fine
