I work on inference at a neocloud, but opinions are my own . The economics and thus tools you can throw at inference change at various scales . As a “blunt” contrived example , on a gb300 the GPUs communicate super fast over nvlink, and the

I used DallE and Anki to teach my son to read. I'm not sure the HN crowd will be wowed by old tech, but this post leaves techs to the agents, and deals with the emotional aspects of learning I learned. Yes, I wrote the clickbaity titl

I haven’t had major issues with sccs yet. The linter enforces forward references so the cycle pain we do have is with dynamic/deffered imports, and it’s usually solved by splitting a module. If you look at the pyrefly repo (metas new

Not IAC, but I’ve been doing a similar trick to sequence adding type annotations to python code, Eg take the module graph, break the SCCs in a similar manner , then take a reverese topological sort of the imports (now a dag by constructio

Hi HN, I’m wrapping up a role where I spent a significant amount of time writing Triton kernels. It’s a fantastic tool, but the learning curve has some sharp edges. I wanted to share a few practical "notes from the field" for anyo

You can do both ways but the latter is the more useful one. Duckdb is designed to read the data very fast and to operate on it fast. So you load a csv/json/parquet and then “create table” and Duckdb lays out the data in a way that

Oh just took a look at the release notes, the new ability to write hive partitioned data with the partition by clause makes etl stuff much easier

I use Duckdb as a data scientist / analyst. It’s amazing for working with large data locally, because it is very fast and there is almost 0 overhead for use. For example, I helped an Israeli ngo analyze retailer pricing data (supermark

Postgres implements this[0] as well, and it's really wonderful. It doesn't give a human the search experience they are used to, but for the superhuman who can write regex , this becomes a very cheap way to search data at scale. [

I built LightTag and eventually sold it. In my experience , at lower price points (<100 month) it’s a none issue. If you can build a self serve funnel, get people in it and convert them no one will care if your 1 person or 100. Once you

I came to the same conclusion on business models. I wish there was a way to know if that’s it, or is my imagination/knowledge restricted. I keep thinking of this quote I heard “When the car was invented someone could predict parking lo

It’s been a long time since I touched c++, so pardon my naïveté. I’d have assumed that optimized thread pools were a done thing. What’s new here and why was there a gap ?

I think you should clarify your goal. If you want to learn coding and specifically Django then this is a good project. If you just want a blog there are other tools that are easier like Jekyl and Hugo

I used to use redux-orm which offered a similar promise. This library looks seems more mature and thought out, kudos! My app is still alive and kicking and I ended up implementing many of the ideas here myself, in a less reusable fashion.
