    Funnily enough, I did a Sudoku one too (albeit with Poetry) a few years ago: https://github.com/mildbyte/poetry-sudoku-solver

    Have you seen duckdb_fdw ( https://github.com/alitrack/duckdb_fdw )? IIRC it's built based on sqlite_fdw, but points the outbound queries to DuckDB instead of SQLite, and it does h…

    Another difference is that this solution uses parquet_fdw, which handles fast scans through Parquet files and filter pushdown via row group pruning, but doesn't vectorize the group…

    Damn, literally a day after I wrote up my experiments[0] with LLaVA 1.5 and computing image embeddings. Interesting to see the performance with the fine-tuned Mistral-7B variant be…

    You can indeed run LiteFS by yourself, without Consul, as a sidecar / wrapper around your application. We do it in our project and have a Docker Compose example at [0]. In this cas…

    Thanks for the catch! Fixed.

    Comment #34223559

    I mentioned it recently[0], but this looks like a very good topic to plug our new database, Seafowl, that we released last year [1]. It also uses Apache DataFusion (like IOx) and s…

    > why not just accept SQL and cut out all the unnecessary mapping? You might be interested in what we're building: Seafowl, a database designed for running analytical SQL queries s…

    It's possible! Currently this is running GROUP BY queries using Socrata's query API on the original government data portal. We're adding the ability to import data from these sourc…

    It could be the NDJSON parser (DF source: [0]) or could be a variety of other factors. Looking at the ROAPI release archive [1], it doesn't ship with the definitive `columnq` binar…

    And if you're looking for a similar experience (very fast analytical SQL queries) but over HTTP, for example, to power a public dashboard or a visualization, you can try ROAPI [0] …

    Great question! With Seafowl, the idea is different from what the modern data stack addresses. It's trying to simplify public-facing Web-based visualizations: apps that need to run…

    Just wanted to also give a shout out to Apache DataFusion[0] that IOx relies on a lot (and contributes to as well!). It's a framework for writing query engines in Rust that takes c…

    Just to follow up on this, I got it working, thanks for the help! (for anyone else interested in all the details of getting LiteFS to run with Docker Compose + a Rust SQLite client…

    We managed to get it working for analytical SQL queries [1] for our database. It's kind of questionable whether this is an intended use of Cloudflare, but it feels like it, since w…

    Hey HN, A new project from us at Splitgraph: Seafowl, a database that's optimized for Web applications running analytical SQL queries straight from the user's browser. Used to powe…

    Ah, sweet (and thanks for building Litestream/LiteFS)! This should work great for us, will definitely try to get a PoC going with this.
