Cloudflare tried to build their own feature store, and get a grade F. I wrote a book on feature stores by O'Reilly. The bad query they wrote in Clickhouse could have been caused by another more error - duplicate rows in materialized fe

He's scarily sane. I am not joking when I say he invented the anti-christ thing as a way to entrench the billionaire class. He's basically saying the anti-christ will be somebody who want to solve the world's problems throug

1. Important points that the query is a projection that only returns a fraction of the 650GB that fits in memory. DuckDB is good at streaming larger than memory queries, Polars less mature there. That would show in the results. 2. S3 defaul

I still haven't got my head around how OTEL fits into a good open-source monitoring stack. Afaik, it is a protocol for metrics, traces, and logs. And we want our open-source monitoring services/dbs to support it, so they become p

I have to be contrarian here. The students were right. You didn't need to learn to implement backprop in NumPy. Any leakiness in BackProp is addressed by researchers who introduce new optimizers. As a developer, you just pick the best

It would undercut all their higher level services - like DynamoDB, CosmosDB, etc. Databases would suddenly go BRRR in the cloud and show up cloud-native (S3) based databases for the high latency services they are.

With 2 modern NVMe disks per host (15 GB/s) and pcie 5.0, it should only take 15s to read 30 TB into memory on 63 hosts. You can find those disks on Hetzner. Not AWS, though.

Do you think they will let the Democrats take control given the risk to them if they take control? I see Gerrymandering after the supreme court annuls the voting rights acts. And then more shennanigans for a third term.

RonDB uses a non-blocking 2PC algorithm - commits in memory, and then does a group commit of transactions to disk every 500ms. This means it can handle insane write throughput, as well as read throughput. However, if both your DB nodes fail

Is it throughput and latency that are the etcd bottlenecks? Our database, RonDB, is an in-memory open-source database (a fork of MySQL Cluster). We have scaled it to 100m reads/sec on AWS hardware (not even top of the line). Might be a
