    French text is somewhere around 10-30% longer than the corresponding English text. I would guess much of what you save on smaller vocabulary is lost on the lengthened text.

    A solution to this is apptainer: you configure it to not see any of the host files by default, and mount the repo you want to work on at runtime.

    So is the SIMD the magic piece here, or is it the interpolation search? If the data is evenly distributed, that is pretty optimal for the interpolation search..

    There is probably some low hanging fruit to be harvested in terms of memory optimizations, and it could be a selling point for the next while as the memory shortage persists

    Does this get tripped up on zip bombs?

    I suppose /some/ performance loss is inevitable. But this could be quite a game changer. As more folks play with it, performing benchmarks, etc -- it should reveal which C idioms i…

    It seems they are using zstd now for .conda packages, eg, bzip is obsoleted, so that should be faster.

    It would be nice indeed if there was a good solution to multi-gigabyte conda directories. Conda has been reproducible in my experience with pinned dependencies in the environment Y…

    Sounds like a great use for a local LLM to strip ads from the output of the ad-infested LLM.

    Surely there must be a way to do the joins in software, without doing it by hand, eg a SQL-like library? Pandas or equivalent?
