Shameless plug, we built Chronon to solve a very similar problem. Chronon is now open source (apache 2) and used at Netflix, OpenAI, Airbnb, Stripe etc. It is used to serve feature…

Congrats! Andy is incredible!

the last note about the agent sending emails without approvals is a very common problem!

Files that codex and any other coding agent has access to, should be opt-in NOT opt-out. I think codex is not the right layer to solve this if you want a sane(one-click) UX. We bui…

It is very common to find tables with 1000+ columns in machine learning training sets at e-commerce companies. The largest I have seen had over 10000 columns.

easily the most memorable comment i have ever seen on hackernews so far. kudos good sir!

usually when a sharp sensation arises in an area, there is a habitual tendency to counteract - unconsciously tense surrounding muscles or antagonistic muscles or switch posture etc…

Not saying that our current approaches will lead to intelligence. No one can know. It could very well be that the internal mechanism of our thought has an auto-regressive reasoning…

just skimmed the proposal, dont see how inline rendered f-strings are more complicated than the alternative.

gotcha! thanks for the clarification

So the writes are O(N) then - to keeps reads at O(1)?

dumb question: how do z-sets or feldera deal with updates to values that were incorporated into the max already? For example - max over {4, 5} is 5. Now I update the 5 to a 3, so t…

i personally like nim’s approach to memory management - implicitly refcounted, but exposes clean manual memory management when needed

great job on open sourcing!

publicly funded research, but behind paywalls, was scraped to build the chatbot - by “china” not open ai, causes “people” to lose their s**t. i do think ip infringement is not cool…

Nim?

almost every button click is either powered by a model or guarded by a model.

We don't accept hints yet - but we determine what to cache.

To be pedantic, even in star schema - the dim tables are denormalized, fact tables are not. I agree that my statement would be much better if used snowflake schema instead.

"Imagine" is the operative word :-)

These are reconstruction of features / columns that don’t exist yet.

Normalization is overloaded. I was referring to schema normalization (3NF etc) not feature normalization - like standard scaling etc.
