Sounds like it means you don't have to wire up the RPC server yourself anymore? Just build a docker container that invokes this quack server command, expose it over the network and connect to it from remote clients using your own acces

uh, doing analytics type queries on large datasets that postgres would choke on, as an RPC? I'm using it (ducklake specifically) to build a lakehouse RPC server that can scale horizontally based on resource utilization in k8s.

Dang, fun memories of when I was first getting in to geo/data stuff and doing a lot of web mapping stuff with D3, Leaflet and friends. Seems as tools like Vector tiles/PMTiles have supplanted topojson for a lot of visualization or

what has meta ever done that would instill trust in you? From the very article you cited: > The best thing you can do to preserve your privacy and security with your Meta messages is to use end-to-end encryption (E2EE) whenever possible.

Just set up Pi after listening to Marios talk at AIE Europe[0] and have solid initial impressions! Especially on limited hardware like a MB Air, seems a lot more resource efficient [0] https://www.youtube.com/live/_zdro

Yeah, but then I'm heavily coupled to their proprietary infrastructure. Maybe a good thing for them, but a nonstarter for thinking about building a real business on, for me and many others I'd presume.

DB seems like the main shortcoming in the stack for them. I don't want to deal with the limitations of D1. Seems like a serverless postgres setup a la Neon/Supabase would be a slam dunk.

our open source system. We use this tool to serve a custom routing engine at day job. Handles 100req/s djikstra in a 2GB pod, due to precalculation of contraction hierarchies.

DuckDB and SQL FTW.

by jtbaker 7mo ago
Doesn’t matter. The point is that DuckDB can operate well on a wide range of infrastructure and is well suited for operating in resource constrained environments.

The changelog is remarkable. Thanks to this team for creating such an amazing tool. It's genuinely the technology I've been most excited about in a long time. Makes the ergonomics of working with large data a joy and extremely fas

IDK, they were sending around stacks of Mac Studios to tinkerer youtubers messing with EXO clustering like @geerlingguy. https://youtu.be/1iT9JeZYXcI?si=UMR0nfHAYbVq2tF1

How do you ascribe a revenue number like that based on one collection of changes in a huge system? Presumably there were a bunch of other features being released around the same time as it. Was there a lot of A/B testing around it?

Ok, but prefill/prompt processing was definitely the weak point before. They were already solid in raw tokens/sec after TTFT

my mac mini m4 is getting to be a good substitute for claude for a lot of use cases. LM Studio + qwen3.5, tailscale, and an opencode CLI harness. It doesn't do well with super long context or complexity but it has gotten production qua

I hope so! I already have the M4 mini pro - would like to bump up the prompt processing time and the memory bandwidth at the same time with the new M5 matmul changes.

I know pandas has a lot of technical warts and shortcomings, but I'm grateful for how much it empowered me early in my data/software career, and the API still feels more ergonomic to me due to the years of usage - plus GeoPandas l

I'm not mad about it. Joe seems like a chill dude and is having fun.

The M5 ultra series is supposed to have some big gains around prompt processing - something like 3-4x from what I've read. I'm tempted to swap out my m4 mini that I'm using for this kind of stuff right now!

It's very cool! If you want to get higher cache hit rates from a CDN or redis etc. and lower the amount of S3 reads, you can get set up a proxy to convert `/{z}/{x}/{y}.mvt` requests into the byte-range requests: https:
