isn't it just another form of this? xitter.cf/QuinnyPig/status/21118…
Amused that AWS just unilaterally cancelled Cloudflare's Reinvent booth. There are always signs when someone finally realizes they're losing. Guess we'll just attend and throw the most fun side events without paying Amazon! Reply if you want an invite.
had a fun time this morning volunteering at island beach state park with @IslandBeachNJ. we were making bags of shells.
Robinhood Chain is 100 days old.

Both items are free while supplies last.
some impressive performance gains in the new @datapolars 2.0.0 release. a quick test with github.com/pola-rs/polars-be… (tweaked for 2.0.0) #datascience #rust #rustlang
We just released Polars 2.0.
It removed many of our legacy decisions makes the streaming engine our default and promotes SQL to a first class citizen within Polars.
It comes with initial out-of-core (spill to disk) support, a new Map data type and a lot of performance improvements. In fact, we think Polars is now one of the fastest analytical SQL engines on a single node. See benchmarks in the post: pola.rs/posts/release-polars…

The productivity cost of switching jobs is going to be much higher going forward. You can’t take that heavily customized AI with you.

this is absolutely incredible stuff. so fast and small. try it w/ uv to test speech-to-txt in your terminal:
uvx --from "cactus-needle[mic]" needle whistle playground
`pip install cactus-needle`, `needle.transcribe("clip.wav")`.
A 16kHz WAV or raw samples need nothing else.
`needle whistle playground` transcribes from the microphone in the terminal.
`needle whistle compare` runs the same clip through Whistle, Whisper and Moonshine with their timings, so you test and use either model.

Lucebox Zero 495 (192 GB unified + 32 GB R9700, from $5999) matches or beats Mac Studio M5 Ultra on large MoE models like DeepSeek V4/V4.1 Flash: ~50 tok/s decode vs Mac's ~47-53 tok/s on 256 GB configs. At this price it delivers more usable capacity than base Ultra ($5499/96 GB); matching Mac memory costs $9k+. Mac has higher bandwidth (1.2 TB/s), lower power, and stronger MLX ecosystem. For these specific models the Lucebox edge holds on speed and value.
My personal favorite Muse gadget hack so far - an ambient eInk display that sits above my keyboard where my @Muse pushes useful, fun or interesting content throughout the day.
Just about to make a DNS change that affects hundreds of thousands search requests per minute on @Typesense Cloud.
No big deal. All in a day's work.
if they’re wearing shirts from lastshiftclub.com, yes, they’re old, but they’re probably good to go.
This morning I played hockey. Tonight I'll watch hockey.
Tomorrow morning I'm playing hockey. Tomorrow night, watching hockey.
Sunday night, playing hockey again. Peak weekend.
