Depends on where you draw the line of what a parser is: - If the parser is "the thing that comes after the lexer" then all of this is abstracted away by the lexer and you can just treat it as a span of bytes; - If the parser is &q

Cute, now do it with UTF-8 support. > People are terrified of parsers and parsing And rightfully so. People who aren't afraid of them generally fail to understand all of the ways in which parsing can show fractal complexity, and wil

The fact that IA is so liberal with their scraping policies is laudable, because on the other end of the spectrum lies Wikimedia, where you're lucky if you manage to download their dumps at 500kbps, which makes their dumps pretty much

I wonder how much of the heavy lifting on GGML can be done with `zig translate-c ggml.c` GGML seems to be just one gigantic 10K LOC C file anyways...

It's really a shame that there is no 8-bit float support in the WebGPU spec. Even though few cards support it natively, it'd still massively benefit ML workloads. Another annoying constraint but specific to wgpu (Rust's imple

Thanks for the speedy response! Cozo is looking like a top-contender for my project so far :)

How well does Cozo handle larger than RAM data? Does it only need to keep the query's answer set in memory? By larger than RAM I mean the entire WikiData knowledge graph (~100GB), with something like 16GB of RAM. Another question: any

You did mention on your Pingora post months ago that that would be open-sourced eventually though. Is that still the case? Is Oxy entirely separate from those plans?

It's actually been down for over a week already (maybe even two), my guess is that they don't have the thing monitored and it'll only get fixed once it reaches the admin's ear

Refreshing to see this seems tailored for RISC-V and ARM, rather than it being just another x86 OS. RISC is the future, and the future is exiting!

Does TCL has a purpose since Forth exists? Serious question. TCL being stringly typed makes it dead on arrival for me, and I'm sure others feel the same.

I'd suspect it's because Sentry offers client-side telemetry as one of their services, and they might be using the same domain for both commercial and technical stuff (hosting both the main site and backends) so blockers have no c

I will shamefully admit to using transmute in very sinful ways, such as having enums that are repr(u16) or something like that at multiple numeric ranges such as: #[repr(u16)] enum Foo { A = 0, B } #[repr(u16)] enum Bar {

Pretty printing is a hard problem. Read Philip Wadler's paper on implementing Haskell's pretty printer [0], and then maybe study the Rust library called `pretty` [1] which is an implementation of it for tree like structures. [0]

I'd second this. Switching to US ANSI layout (not US International layout) is like magic, I find it so much better that I always import my keyboards from the US, and only buy laptops if they have the US layout. Brazil uses a national s

The short version would be this: It takes a bastardized definition of "trust" to make this statement true, and it's a definition that is most often seen in the wild when used to "sell" blockchain stuff as having tec

I haven't taken a look at the protocol itself, but I just want to comment on the foul and bitter taste the word "trustless" leaves in my mouth. It could be the case that this protocol is the bee's knees, but seeing this

I just wrote a very detailed comment on this thread on why ternary computers aren't a thing, probably can't be a thing, and thus will probably never become a thing. You might want to read it: https://news.ycombinator.co

Damn this looks really good. Data-first SQL integrated interfaces always get a +1 from me, managing resources without unified abstractions is always painful, especially when you have to do this at scale, standard CLIs always end up falling
