A new kind of workload scheduler. I think it's silly that it's so normal datacenters to sit at ~20% utilization all the time. With the right scheduler I think we could get that abo…

Surely this is a problem that we will never be able to solve.

This is the same argument illustrators made upon the invention of photography.

Burla is an open-source python package with one function: `remote_parallel_map` Given: a function, and a list of inputs; `remote_parallel_map` runs that function on every input in …

Hi I'm Jake a co-founder at Burla.dev. We're building a cloud platform with the learning curve of a toaster! (yes, a normal toaster you'd find in your kitchen) I'm not kidding. Our…

Hi HN, I'm a co-founder of Burla.dev, we're building cluster compute software for Python beginners. We help people in Biotech, Geospatial, and quant-finance scale their analyses in…

It's cool that this is possible on a single node but I still think distributed is the way. The point of these tools is productivity. What are you trying to accomplish and how long …

What about burla.dev ? Or basically a generic nestable `remote_parallel_map` for python functions over lists of objects. I haven't had a chance to fully watch the video yet / I und…

Hi HN! We're Jake, Jack, and Joe, the creators of Burla, the world's simplest cluster compute software. Believe it or not, it's still super common for research / data-analysis team…

I tried setting up an AI git commit tool this weekend and it was hell. All the tools are either not maintained, outdated, or make it a total pain to customize the system prompt. Al…

Hi all, we're Jake, Jack and Joe, and we're building the open-source alternative to modal labs. We think Modal's great, and wanted to use it at our previous places of work, but wer…

Hi HN! We're Jake, Jack, and Joe, and we're the makers of Burla, an open-source, batch-processing platform for python. We were frustrated by how slow and difficult it can be to ite…

Hi HN! We're Jake, Jack, and Joe, and we're happy to share what we think is probably the simplest way to scale python code across thousands of computers in the cloud. Coming from t…

1. I'd have phone/video calls with people who face the problem im solving, usually from my personal network / asking people on linkedin. In these calls I'd really try to learn abou…

How do I know I can trust the factual consistency metric? You linked to a research paper in the docs but reading a research paper is the last thing I want to do right now.

I was down bad and started throwing ideas at startup accelerators until I got money to work on one. Motivation to spend all of my time working on ideas came from anxiety about my f…
