It really is - we use duckdb as our main workhorse in our entire stack. As a side note, thank you for all the work you have done in the Clojure ecosystem! Techascent’s data science…

I’m a big fan of tmducken. We use it heavily in our prod systems. That said, we’ve recently started exploring ducktape [1] in our new projects and have been really impressed with t…

Happy to chat more in depth if more details would be helpful. I think my contact info is accessible from my HN profile.

To clarify, I wasn't criticizing your approach or product, more responding to the people dismissing the problem you are solving. Regarding my experience, I have done a fair amount …

I see a fair number of comments here advocating for either codex to hand-roll this themselves, or to simply punt to SQL. I do want to advocate for the difficulty of the problem, ev…

The author really extracted the core tenants of exactly how my former research mentor and I ended up building our business. We started with the second two points: our core technolo…

Roughtime is a really cool protocol we came across when we were hardening a license server. It provides a distributed mechanism for cryptographically verifiable time via chained re…

Haha that’s true, but the timezone is left as an exercise for the reader for now

We are going to publish that publicly next time we have a free day, though its publication will likely render the analysis redundant :)

Yeah Show HN has a pretty interesting distribution compared to standard posts due to the long-term visibility on the Show page. The odds of a Show HN post breaking 10 points is sig…

The code provided is to reproduce the analytical results from the annotated data; my impression is that you're more interested in the details of the annotation process than running…

I totally agree that the metric is imperfect for a long term analysis. I was initially leaning toward a quantile based approach to really focus in on topic trends over time, but wh…

Thank you! I currently don’t have much insight to this current trend. At the time of this analysis I hadn’t even heard of Clawd but that would definitely be worth my revisiting. I …

> Code gets simpler because it has to, and architecture becomes explicit. > The real goal isn’t to write C once for a one-off project. It’s to write it for decades. To build up a p…

I just sent an email. Thank you for the push!

I did not conduct a deep dive into the specific examples: this was my takeaway from a slope plot comparing which topics clear a 10 point threshold (eg escape the new page) vs which…

I actually conducted a similar analysis back in December. I was more focused on discovering the topics that most resonated with the community but ended up digging into this phenome…
