I always feel like people leave out the third case of the analogy: indexing The article itself has decision trees for the compression explanation, which is also a lookup index. In …

I discovered that we got that back in a sense. If you task an llm with writing a CLI and have it use it, then it hides the "user interface" to a sufficient degree that you can pret…

Ah that's just because the new training set also includes "The King in Yellow".

Holy shit, thanks for mentioning it, the frontier labs truly have no idea what they are doing when it comes to software quality.

Neat! Thank you for the in-depth! So you're also using succinct datastructures with Elias-Fano, you might want to check out this paper https://aidanhogan.com/docs/ring-graph-wco.pd…

Cool stuff! I still always want to know the numbers per edge. Because there'a a reaon why these graph DBs try to hold the stuff in memory, everything else is slow as heck. We have …

You don't know how much more vibrant the world is knowing that you still make games in it. Thank you for all of those hours. (And making the tools that help me teach my apprentices…

> movement can be executed more aggressively and quickly That's exactly the reason why it's usually a bad idea to run a classical robot on a neural controller. If atlas bumps into …

These robots operate on completely different principles. One can lift insane weights, has insane torque, and absurd precision, and can do the same movement millions of times with v…

I know these strengths, I've written Zig fulltime for ~1 year before switching to Rust, and I do miss comptime pretty much every day. Still in my experience the strengths do not ou…

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the three largest Zig project (by far, with a huge gap between them and the rest of the pack) are Bun, Ghostty, and TigerBeetle. A language so niche th…

Read through the stuff yourself if you don't believe me: https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20label%3...

I'm not expecting the whole language to be stable, but I expect certain parts of it to be more stable than others. E.g. control flow vs. async. I'm not saying that they can't work …

> not from the language they use for the implementation. Everybody has a plan until their compiler compiles an if-else wrong, and that's the level of instability that Zig had when …

I'm pretty sure they'll miss the full developer salary that Oven used to sponsor them, which they no longer do. I'd wager one doesn't do a rewrite like that, if you are in great pe…

On one hand I kinda feel validated for having jumped ship on Zig 3+ Years ago[1] and moving everything to Rust[2], with the language simply being too unstable and unsafe in my eyes…

Very cool approach! We build something super similar, also going for content addressed storage and compare&swap as fundamental primitives. Also commit dag based, but we also wrote …

Fair, it actually started out in JS, moved to Deno, then Zig and ended in Rust. If I ever find the time I'd like to back port what I have now, up the chain. It is supposed to be a …

Spot on! In one word. Simplicity! TerminusDB is a RDF database with build-in prolog, a heavy focus on succinct data structure indexes, and has a client server model. Triblespace is…

Working on exactly that! We're local first, but do distributed sync with iroh. Written in rust and fully open source. Imho having a graph database that is really easy to use and wr…

My dishes have never been cleaner and my laundry has never been more folded than since the advent of agentic AI.

I build a bunch of tools[1] that give the agents means to communicate and coordinate between each other, with me mostly just deciding what goes into the backlog, and checking their…

It's surprising to me how well these go together, the transient concept in clojure is essentially a &mut, couple that with a reference counter check and you get fast transient muta…
