isn't that more of a storage issue, which a home battery would solve?

how would this help smaller labs? would it put more burdens on them when trying to compete with trillion-dollar companies or would it help?

Yeah I vibe coded https://github.com/sluongng/capyfun during a hackathon recently to add a generative transformation layer on top of the traditional imperative transformations.

There are plenty of cool advancements in reducing inference cold start when I was meeting with folks in person at FOSDEM this year. However, I still struggle to understand: why wou…

You can run bisect with first-parent

My teammate has a great time reimplementing Ninja (slop-free) in Go here https://github.com/buildbuddy-io/reninja to make it even faster with Remote Build Execution.

Yeah, I don't disagree with your assessment at all. I think the H2A ratio is still a good metric for the AI adoption rate of an organization. At a higher H2A ratio, you will also s…

I do. The reason why the current generation of agents are good at coding is because the labs have sufficient time and computes to generate synthetic chain-of-thoughts data, feed th…

Yeah the 8 agents limit aligns well with my conversations with folks in the leading labs https://open.substack.com/pub/sluongng/p/stages-of-coding-ag... I think we need much differ…

Most of the time, the CI resources in a python monorepo is not spent on packaging. It’s spent on running the tests. I would love to read more about how the author is tackling the t…

https://sluongng.substack.com/i/186718212/test-is-king I wrote about this less than a month ago. Things are moving pretty fast in this direction.

Oh this is really neat for the Bazel community, as depending on tree-sitter to build a gazelle language extension, with Gazelle written in Go, requires you to use CGO. Now perhaps …

Not yet in Linux?

I suspect they just use no_std whenever its applicable https://github.com/facebook/buck2/commit/4a1ccdd36e0de0b69ee... https://github.com/facebook/buck2/commit/bee72b29bc9b67b59ba.…

Zstd dictionary compression is essentially how Meta's Mercurial fork (Sapling VCS) stores blobs https://sapling-scm.com/docs/dev/internals/zstdelta . The source code is available i…

The evolving schema is much more attractive than a bunch of plain text HTTP headers when you want to communicate additional metadata with the file download/upload. For example, the…

https://github.com/googleapis/googleapis/blob/master/google/... is a more complete version of this. It supports resumable uploads, and the download can start from an offset within …

The underlying problem is that most container images are not cache efficient. Compressed tarballs arent and that’s what most of container images are. And Bazel relies heavily on ca…

> They use Google's web indexing technology adapted for trigrams, which was mostly developed to support their massive internal monorepo Do you have a source for this? I would love …

Nice. This is one of the main reasons why I picked CachyOS recently. Now I can fallback to Ubuntu if CachyOS gets me stuck somewhere.

The most concerning part about modern CI to me is how most of it is running on GitHub Actions, and how GitHub itself has been deprioritizing GitHub Actions maintenance and improvem…

I don't view it as a bug. It's a personality trait of the model that made "user steering" much easier, thus helping the model to handle a wider range of tasks. I also think that th…
