    Thanks, I want to add https://www.arraycast.com/2025/01/04/Decker.html which introduced me to it. I wish more people had exposure to q/k/apl and think this is a great way to do it.…

    Wow thanks for pointing this out! This is actually what I was hoping would happen when the deepspec stuff dropped! And having zlab create these confirms my bias that I think open m…

    Yeah I'm with you, this feels like a case for assertions & not a new core feature. Perhaps I'm missing something because it was promoted by Michael Fogus and has been ratified by t…

    This is a pretty harsh critique, while I see the agent related markdown the application seems measured and well applied. Hardly seems like slop; it's might be a one man show+ai age…

    If you're looking to use this with the community edition I would recommend reading through https://dataintellect.com/blog/running-torq-with-kdb-x-commu... as they outline some of t…

    Redacting "I noticed that a kernel level impl is only 9000 loc (shallow dive https://lwn.net/Articles/1029851/ ). As it doesn't fully implement the feature set. Also I noticed that…

    This is great! I feel the same way about the deepseek v4 architecture for commodity hardware. Also have enjoyed playing with https://huggingface.co/HuggingFaceTB/nanowhale-100m-bas…

    This is the kind of clojure port that I always was looking for. Mostly because I thought go's core library and channels abstractions hits a simpler/nicer base API which would with …

    Ah this reminds me of my favorite stack which I never got to actually work with; luvit.io (libuv with luajit; both hot items at the time). I hope this becomes a thing, typing in lu…

    While I haven't read all the posts here I was wondering if anyone also noticed a 10% usage before their most recent weeks usage even started? (Specifically over 2026-03-27/28) I wa…

    Sorry, I did compose it from my phone and wasn't clear. I realize the article talks to the Maven tooling I was talking to it's data aggregation and modeling suite more generally. (…

    I'm curious as to how Palantir has been used during the war or Iran (if at all or does it suffer from subjective bias). I know there were larger movements at play on a political le…

    Token usage and agent usage optimisation? It seems like a real problem for me. Probably because I'm not overly inspired to pay for a Claude x5 subscription and really hate the sess…

    I used to work for a human that did this (sits mostly on the classical therapeutics side). He actually started a business where he was reviewing and auditing the submission process…

    Yeah, but it's specifically testing things that implement against a posix API (because generally that's what "native" apis do (omiting libc and other os specific foundation librari…

    Perhaps if a supply chain attack is your largest concern then using some well vetted system like wolfi is more up your alley. (See some of their related repos on GitHub https://git…

    Yeah, but there is something else here too... I used cachy for a heartbeat and it advertises the same benefits; it just felt slower (notably on boot) Maybe it was just all the grap…

    Yeah I feel yah; But to bolster the post: I now want to hear more as to why Defold now has a clojure repl! I noticed some musings around some native bindings in gh issues which is …
