My personal expectation is that token prices will fall and that the most important news here is that we now have methods to turn test-time compute into improved performance up to a very large scale. (11/n)

You can rush the passer, but don't rush pedestrians. Slow down, pay attention, and always stop for pedestrians and cyclists, even when crosswalks aren’t present.

Xiangpeng Hao strikes again: Turns out you can both
1. Implement 🇩🇪 strings in Rust
2. They actually improve end to end performance in @ApacheDataFusio.
It takes a lot more than a straightforward naive implementation to do so: influxdata.com/blog/faster-qu…

No more client side consensus nonsense! The #rustlang object store crate had to use Dynamo for this while the other cloud object stores had it built in. Time to update crates.io/crates/object_…

After a huge amount of work from many contributors (including @InfluxDB 's intern Xiangpeng) stoked to announce that arrow-rs `52.2.0` supports StringView arrays from Arrow. #issuecomment-2261464353" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/apache/arrow-r….

i mean, you can also do this in Rust, and it’s arguably a lot easier! at @oxidecomputer, we’ve written an embedded OS in Rust that also avoids the use of dynamic allocation: #_pragmatism" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">hubris.oxide.computer/reference/#_pr…

While talking to an embedding systems engineer on C being an unsafe language, he mentioned that the way they avoid memory leaks is by simply not using malloc/alloc, which means their code to entirely deterministic at compile time. A reason why C cannot be replaced in embedded sys

I'm preparing some teaching material on pyo3.
I had an *operational* understanding of it, but by digging deeper I'm really coming to appreciate the amount of care and polish that went into it.
Hat off to @davidhewittdev! He has been an amazing sheperd.

I hedged and called it _Chicken Soup for the Engineer's Soul_ because it's so high-level and commonsense, but here's my take on the "zen of gradient descent" and building complex systems, including LLM-powered software.

Why is a holistic approach required above and beyond secure boot or a TPM? We're not merely building a better server, we're standing up a cloud computer that's ready for developers to provision via API on day one, and that requires attesting to every layer of the software stack.

Yes we installed an Orbitron fusion microreactor (mockup) on a Delorian today and it looks awesome. Come visit us at the SF Deep Tech week bazaar / launch party tomorrow on the USS Hornet.

The first beta pre-release of Polars 1.0 is released!
Install it with `pip install -U --pre polars ` and give it a spin. If you find any troubles in the coming week, we can fix them for 1.0.
Release notes: github.com/pola-rs/polars…
The upgrade guide will follow later next week.

We made Reachy2 from @pollenrobotics autonomously doing household chores and interacting with us. It can move its full body, including its neck. Even the dog was impressed! 🐶 You can do the same at home on smaller robots with github.com/huggingface/le… and github.com/dora-rs/dora
