Hi HN, I'm Robert, a Member of Technical Staff at Chroma. I've been working on transaction protocols for at least 14 years now, starting with my PhD in distributed systems. During my tenure at Dropbox, where I worked on the meta

I think I've discovered something new and useful. Looking for others to share with.

I’m not claiming forth should be used as is. I’ve opened the benchmark so others can reproduce the result I share in the post: https://github.com/rescrv/stack-bench

I haven’t tried the extremes. Context rot says it’ll likely degrade there anyway. What I’m investigating is if more compact languages work for querying data. What makes you think it’s going to clutch at straws more? What makes you think it

Looking to discuss with people about whether LLMs would do better if the language had properties similar to postfix-notation.

I appreciate the feedback. I can definitely see people thinking I'm crazy by the first few chapters and not getting to the good part. I was trying (and failed) to be clever about improving your life. What you say about exaggeration vs

From where I sit today, I can say that I see things others don't. I have a hard time saying they aren't real, though, as experience has been a zero-knowledge proof the the commentary. The front half of the book, up until a clear

I appreciate you sharing. My understanding is schizoaffective disorder is one of four categories of schizophrenia. I think people often use them interchangeably. Medication can be tricky because when it works it seems increasingly unnecess

For my LLM/agents framework, I went with a virtual filesystem abstraction and implemented helpers for mounting and permissioning the virtual file systems: https://github.com/rescrv/claudius/blob/main&#x2

I'm sorry to hear you were heartbroken. I assure you I've seen people who are worse than me turn out much better than me and I hold hope that I'm on a good trajectory.

I appreciate you saying something. As you'll read in the book, I've got a project going to primarily help myself, but to date it's been 100% open-source. I haven't been able to be consistent enough to both pay the bills

Thank you for the book recommendation! I will see if it's for me.

Hi Dave, I'm surprised you can remember me. We once sat near each other on a bus for SOSP, and that's the extent we interacted in person, so it warms my heart to hear someone like you remembers someone like me. In case you'r

Thank you! This is the kind of comment I hoped to see. I'm betting it was published in a hurry. I know I would hit "publish" within 24 hours of creating such a result, and would hope it would go wide. I'd publish to a

Once upon a time, people published solo often. It's just harder to do things like that these days.

I'm not sure if this is real, but the abstract says machine-verified.

Stigmergy: An agents framework built on ECS principles(github.com)

Most agent frameworks aim for chat; stigmergy aims to replace the Fortune 500 CEO's role, or be able to run a healthcare clinic. Something of that scale. This is a prototype. I’m looking for feedback before implementing the main loop

Absolutely! We took care during the build to address chroma’s needs, but I believe the only requirement is chroma storage. Long term it’ll appear on crates.io as a standalone package.

Can you elaborate on what you mean by "nesting" setsums? It's an associative and commutative construction, so you can run e.g. map-reduce to map every parquet file to a setsum and then reduce to roll them up.

I think you're pointing out a good tradeoff here. The original copysets work allows you to explicitly tune the likelihood of data loss with the amount of work done for recovery. A cluster replicated to minimize the likelihood of losi

Indeed pocdb is not intended to be a fully "ready" implementation. There are likely liveness bugs (that can be mitigated by periodically calling work_state_machine on every write outstanding), but it is unlikely to have safety bu
