wtf it's paywalled after the first little bit. was not expecting that from a "blog". I'm looking for a place to direct people to see the math behind it, seemed like it had potentia…

Did they finally make a viable version of spanner for themselves?

Except that Mac ultra M3 they talk about is now only being sold in the 96 GB configuration. It’s no longer being sold in larger Ram configurations by Apple Apple because of the glo…

Agreed on - it took a long time to get to the “so what is new here” vs the broader topic of distributed consensus. Stylistically would prefer more upfront “here is what is novel he…

TBH I’m doubtful of most people building their own crypto libs and distributed consensus implementations. But maybe cloudflare can pull it off. Good to see them pushing the state o…

“In the building” the building happened to be their secure data centers, not their offices.

Feels like all the write ups that point out the short comings of eg Python for scientific computing. Sure, except that once you have a community at critical mass around a reasonabl…

PLG. Any article I have to search for an acronym and don’t find it - nope.

And a group has published an independent working implementation today, nice to see: https://github.com/tonbistudio/turboquant-pytorch

Good post but link at the end is broken. “”” For the full technical explanation with equations, proofs, and PyTorch pseudocode, see the companion post: TurboQuant: Near-Optimal Vec…

And the lower precision float variants.

TLDR the recorded media isn’t end-to-end encrypted and they aren’t selling it but instead using it to train their own systems. What is new here?

Ditto - completely appeals to me. I’m good starting with mail.

I’m the opposite - I much prefer a structured query language (ahem) for this type of thing. If I’m looking at someone’s (ie my own 6 months later) script I much prefer to see the e…

Yes only on that page, not the rest of his blog. Guessing he ansible’d it to redirect ;)

Neat idea à la regex golf. But doesn’t seem to do enough shell escaping or correctly. Also seems underspecified, ie “find 5 lines starting with ‘the” doesn’t require a pipe to head…

I get what your saying but I think it’s not the best way to describe it - “GPL is property”? Hardly - it’s a societal common good that can be used by anyone interested in helping t…

Lol I was hoping for that too

It’s the “no longer evil” marketing without actually proving that “no longer evil.com” is in fact … from from evil. I was assuming that I could point the nest data stream & control…

Proposal - every new thing needs a “here are the systems we consider and rejected” entry. I can’t find one on the docs here. Founders care to comment on if you evaluated if Tremor …

My first inclination too tbh. And then I saw Npm references and thought “in JavaScript?!” But at least it’s typescript.

In TypeScript, interesting. Not the obvious choice IMO but trying to keep an open mind. Was that because of team expertise or particular aspects of TS you thought suited the domain…

“Service Adverbs - like ‘route’ and ‘fanout’” Grammarians are going to be big angry here. Ain’t an adverb in sight.

Upvoting the comment that the gitrepo would be way more self stand-alone if it had an intro of the DSL.

I’d argue we aren’t solving those inverse kinematics / kinetics via “number crunching” - but rather that our neuromuscular systems are analog. Which I don’t usually call that “numb…
