This is an old debate that goes back 25+ years. One of the differences in how Linux and FreeBSD handle the issue. Linux developers believe that involving the CPU warms the caches and is a good thing.

Important distinction yes. It also means I can't go back and check the thread on what was said and when. Nor do I want to. Always good to talk face to face if you're have strong feelings about something. When I said "talk&quo

I was clarifying that there are CPU cgroups, network cgroups etc and the proposal touched only memory cgroups. The people deploying it are free to restrict the cgroup to one process before requesting MAP_UNINITIALIZED if there is a concern

The patches were written in 2011 and published in 2012. They did what they were supposed to at the time. For the peanut gallery: this is a manifestation of an internal eng culture at fb that I wasn't particularly fond of. Celebrating t

It wasn't any cgroup. If you put two untrusting processes in a memory cgroup, there is a lot that can go wrong. If you don't like the idea of memory cgroups as a security domain, you could tighten it to be a process. But kernel de

You probably weren't there when servers were running for many days at a time. By the time you joined and benchmarked these systems, the continuous rolling deployment had taken over. If you're restarting the server every few hours,

The #1 reason people use it is because it allows you to focus on the problem you're solving rather than the syntax, memory management or some other aspect. Most people don't even know what C-API is or why it slows things down. Com

It can be used in many forms, while true is one of them. I don't have a whole lot of experience hand writing v-lang. Mostly machine generated from static python. But I find it convenient for what it does. Golang that is less verbose, s

Cython and all the libs you mention use the c-api, which is the #1 thing python needs to lose to be competitive. I wish someone writes a stdlib without using it. My attempt from a few months ago in a repo under the py2many org.

Here is a python AST parser written in V. It's targeting a dialect that's mostly compatible with a static subset of python3, but will break compatibility where necessary. In this case pattern matching, possibly elsewhere. https:&

It's not a popular thing to say on social media. V-lang is the one I'm tinkering with. It's like rust in terms of pattern matching as an expression, sum types, ?T instead of exceptions. Like golang, it has shorter compile tim

Missing: write static python and transpile to rust pyO3 which is at the top of the ladder. Some nuance: try transpiling to a garbage collected rust like language with fast compilation until you have millions of users. Also use a combination

Sounds like a great model which is hobbled by a bunch of mundane python programming issues that researchers don't want to deal with. If there is sufficient interest, I can look into maintaining a new wrapper.

So many variants of these models. The ggufs from unsloth don't work with ollama. Perhaps wait for a bit for the latest llama.cpp to be picked up by downstream projects. If you're on a 16GB Mac mini, what's a good variant to r

Any chance you could wrap this in pyo3? There is a large python market for this.

The only concern I have about OrioleDB is how long it's taking to get to GA. Anyone using it in prod even with the beta status?

Why didn't I see anything about common crawl? Exa, Parallel and a whole bunch of companies doing information retrieval under the "agent memory" category belong to this discussion.

If there is such an interesting language, you can transpile to static python first and then use py2many to gain access to many systemsey languages. The other option is to evolve static python into such a language. Looking forward to the PEP

This is GraphRAG using SQLite. Wouldn't it be good if recursive Leiden and cypher was built into an embedded DB? That's what I'm looking into with mcp-server-ladybug.

Re: keeping the relational model This made sense for product catalogs, employee dept and e-commerce type of use cases. But it's an extremely poor fit for storing a world model that LLMs are building in an opaque and probabilistic way.
