I built this over the weekend to scratch a personal itch. Might be useful to others. Supports transparently switching live to batch without code changes.

I think I've discovered something new and useful. Looking for others to share with.

I’m not claiming forth should be used as is. I’ve opened the benchmark so others can reproduce the result I share in the post: https://github.com/rescrv/stack-bench

I haven’t tried the extremes. Context rot says it’ll likely degrade there anyway. What I’m investigating is if more compact languages work for querying data. What makes you think i…

Looking to discuss with people about whether LLMs would do better if the language had properties similar to postfix-notation.

I appreciate the feedback. I can definitely see people thinking I'm crazy by the first few chapters and not getting to the good part. I was trying (and failed) to be clever about i…

From where I sit today, I can say that I see things others don't. I have a hard time saying they aren't real, though, as experience has been a zero-knowledge proof the the commenta…

I appreciate you sharing. My understanding is schizoaffective disorder is one of four categories of schizophrenia. I think people often use them interchangeably. Medication can be …

For my LLM/agents framework, I went with a virtual filesystem abstraction and implemented helpers for mounting and permissioning the virtual file systems: https://github.com/rescrv…

I'm sorry to hear you were heartbroken. I assure you I've seen people who are worse than me turn out much better than me and I hold hope that I'm on a good trajectory.

I appreciate you saying something. As you'll read in the book, I've got a project going to primarily help myself, but to date it's been 100% open-source. I haven't been able to be …

Thank you for the book recommendation! I will see if it's for me.

Hi Dave, I'm surprised you can remember me. We once sat near each other on a bus for SOSP, and that's the extent we interacted in person, so it warms my heart to hear someone like …

Hi HN! My name's Robert Escriva. I got my PhD from Cornell's Computer Science department back in 2017. And three years ago I had a psychotic episode that irreversibly shook up my w…

Thank you! This is the kind of comment I hoped to see. I'm betting it was published in a hurry. I know I would hit "publish" within 24 hours of creating such a result, and would ho…

Once upon a time, people published solo often. It's just harder to do things like that these days.

I'm not sure if this is real, but the abstract says machine-verified.

Most agent frameworks aim for chat; stigmergy aims to replace the Fortune 500 CEO's role, or be able to run a healthcare clinic. Something of that scale. This is a prototype. I’m l…

Absolutely! We took care during the build to address chroma’s needs, but I believe the only requirement is chroma storage. Long term it’ll appear on crates.io as a standalone packa…

Hi, I'm Robert, one of the authors of wal3. Here to answer any questions or explain more about our engineering philosophy. Happy hacking, Robert
