The fastest path involves a small dip, though deriving that fact is non-trivial! Here's one of my old blog posts where I do the derivation: https://jasmcole.com/2020/04/13/briechis…

I'm in Busan, though I didn't feel anything. (I was on the beach at the time though.)

We use the WASM build of DuckDB quite extensively at Count ( https://count.co - 2-3m queries per month). There are a couple of bugs we've noticed, but given that it's pretty much m…

Wow! I just checked your CV (we were at Cambridge at the same time :) ), and I will never dismiss a Geography degree again!

Hey, if you click through to one of the example simulations you'll be able to change the visualization from waves to time-averaged power density, which should be closer to what you…

Thanks! If you navigate to one of the example simulations, you'll be able to change the instantaneous field visualisation to one of time-averaged power density, which sounds closer…

Interesting! I have a desktop 3070 and hear the same. I don't hear anything on a Mac M1 though.

Definitely the vibe I'm going for!

Good question! This is actually a numerical solver for a few coupled partial differential equations - the method in this context (electromagnetism) is called FDTD. It's implemented…

Agreed! Though support should be coming soon it seems. As a complete WebGPU novice I was really impressed with how quick it was to get going.

Author here - amazing how this old post comes back around! I know this book is a bit divisive with the big time jump, but you can't argue with the opening line. Shameless plug - I'…

We use Pyodide at https://count.co and think it's pretty amazing! Congrats on the new release. I read about the snapshot support for Cloudflare workers and assumed it was a feature…

Thanks for the heads up - a page more focussed on dbt specifically is here: https://count.co/product/data-modeling/ and associated blog post: https://count.co/blog/how-we-made-data…

If you're interested in interrogating dbt models using DuckDB, you may be interested in some new dbt features we've recently released at https://count.co

Hi HN, after seeing a lot of data engineering discussion here I thought it would be interesting to share a new feature I've been working on at Count ( https://count.co ). We've mad…

We settled on DuckDB as our in-browser DB at count.co - it's been great! Just waiting for extensions and compression in the WASM build now...

Me too! Other recent gadgets that have scratched the same itch are the Steam deck and folding phones, though nothing quite captures the feeling of the gadget experimentation going …

Nice! I made a quick'n'dirty Typescript notebook with React + Plotly as a Matlab clone a few years ago. I was impressed with how everything you need to compile and execute TS was b…

Merry Christmas HN!
