Parquet is only a mess if you try to mutate it, usually you consider them as immutable and have the data stored across many files. Also batched-row access is negligible given the compression benefits you get with the columnar format, which

It is probably not worth the complexity currently but considering they are using small local CPU models for OCR like tesseract, if they add the support of reading files on the web then I wouldn't be so sure of the CPU bound aspect.

20% is a harsh figure but it could be a good entry point to figure out the unknown unknowns and go in depth once you have the relevant keywords using more reliable sources.

Thanks for the link, not much familiar with CockroachDB but I worked on a similar system that wanted to provide strong consistency when reading from many databases, some of which where Spanner but not all of them. Eventually the system impl

Right but it's not magic as you cannot predict networking delays. The max clock skew also has to pick between A and C, in underestimates you lose serializability, in overestimates you pay in write latency.

In case of mutation either the replicas will be out of sync (so no C), or you'll need to synchronously mutate the replicas (so bad A due to latency).

CRDT is really only useful when inconsistencies could be acceptable in some situations and so it depends on the application. For something that is trying to solve the general problem of consistent single ground-truth log, you can't rea

How does it compare to partially fine-tuning the model by freezing most of the network beside the last few layers?

For cache locality, if the layout is more wide instead of deep, you can avoid many cache misses.

I saw some professors share the least about their tests to make sure we truly understand the material, sounds to me like a real-life usage of a train/test split. It’s not far fetched to think they employed this technique because teachi

It would be nice if the puzzles natively supported C++ CUDA.

What would be the benefit of using ZML instead of relying on StableHLO/PJRT? Because the cost of porting models is for sure high.

I might have missed it in the article but I'm not sure why the prefix is stored for strings that can't be inlined.

A new rule could be to make a neutral roll prevent the enemy to play that square for one turn (unless it's the last square).

This was very important with classical machine learning, now with deep learning, feature engineering became useless as the model can learn the relevant features by itself. However, having a quality and diverse dataset is more important now

I was excited to try HDR on Plasma 6 but it currently only works with AMD GPUs, not Nvidia.

What about higher order library functions, since calling a green function from a red context is bad and we have no way to guarantee that a function is blue and not green, does this mean the function needs to be unsafe? It would be nice if t

The function could accept an universal reference instead of an rvalue reference, this avoids the dance the caller has to do to pass a copy. IMO it's hard to beat pass by value considering both performance and cognitive load.

What's preventing me from going all in to Linux desktop is software only available in windows and HDR, it seems KDE plasma 6 is going to ship HDR this year, so it might be just enough for me to not care about the rest.

I'm surprised nobody mentioned the Rust crate left_right[1]. It's also a map that supports multiple readers AND a writer. It does this by maintaining two maps, one used by the writer and one used by the readers and atomically swap

Congrats! I was wondering where you'd go after announcing that you were looking for a job at FOSDEM.

The common scenario for f and g to consume x is that x is a smart pointer type e.g. Rc/Arc. to make it clear that the clone is "cheap", some Rust developer prefer using `Arc::Clone(&x)` over `x.clone()`.

I stopped using evcxr when I realized that I could get the same instant feedback with rust-analyzer and a properly configured IDE. Maybe it can be useful for data exploration with polars but I still prefer Python for that.

It might be that they use simple in relative terms. Linux could be considered simple given the problem it's trying to solve and yaml complex.
