polskibus··on Konva.js - Declarative 2D Canvas for React, Vue, and Svelte
That component is not built on Konva though. Canvas has long been known to be the perf endgame for web, see google sheets etc .
polskibus··on Make Ubuntu packages 90% faster by rebuilding them
This is gentoo resurrected! Great memories building entire Linux from scratch on install ;)
polskibus··on A 10x Faster TypeScript
A missed opportunity to improve c# by dogfooding it with TS compiler rewrite.
polskibus··on A 10x Faster TypeScript
Have you considered a closer to metal language to implement the compiler in like c or rust ? Have you evaluated further perf improvements ?
polskibus··on We built a modern data stack from scratch and reduced our bill by 70%
What is the current state of the art (open source) when doing oltp to olap pipelines in these days? I don’t mean a one-off etl style load at night but a continuous process with relatively low latency?
polskibus··on Postgres Just Cracked the Top Fastest Databases for Analytics
How does mooncake work with std oltp workloads? Can I use Postgres with OLTP , add mooncake and expect duckdb-level of performance for OLAP queries? I know that SAP HANA has some sort of several layers of storage and automatic movement of data between them to allow for such performant OLTP/OLAP hybrid, and I think this is the holy grail for cheap/open source db. Users need OLTP first but don’t want to add Kafka + clickhouse or similar pipelines when OLAP is needed.
polskibus··on Mucins keep the brain safe and could guard against ageing
What can we eat/do to boost this barrier?
polskibus··on Microsoft is reportedly killing Skype after 14 years of neglect
Isn’t Teams running on Skype at least in some part ? I noticed that sometimes teams urls or copied data from Teams contain Skype word.
polskibus··on German watchdog orders Sam Altman's biometric ID project World to delete data
A group of individuals could do a gdpr flashmob and make any data admin miserable.
polskibus··on German watchdog orders Sam Altman's biometric ID project World to delete data
You could replay this backup, and skip problematic record when writing new copy of the backup. Delete old backup. What’s important is to keep such log of „records to be deleted from backup”.
polskibus··on OpenAI O3 breakthrough high score on ARC-AGI-PUB
What are the differences between the public offering and o3? What is o3 doing differently? Is it something akin to more internal iterations, similar to „brute forcing” a problem, like you can yourself with a cheaper model, providing additional hints after each response?
polskibus··on Pgroll – Zero-downtime, reversible, schema changes for PostgreSQL (new website)
Does anyone know of similar tool for MS SQL?
polskibus··on Air traffic failure caused by two locations 3600nm apart sharing 3-letter code
I would’ve thought that in flight industry they got the „business key” uniqueness right ages ago. If a key is multi-part then each check should check all parts not just one. Alternatively, force all airport codes to be globally unique.
polskibus··on OpenAI, Google and Anthropic are struggling to build more advanced AI
In other news, Altman said AGI is coming next year https://www.tomsguide.com/ai/chatgpt/sam-altman-claims-agi-i...
polskibus··on Show HN: BemiDB – Postgres read replica optimized for analytics
How can you setup automatic replication from Postgresql to a duckdb instance?

polskibus··on The protein Reelin keeps popping up in brains that resist aging and Alzheimer’s
Can you provide any links on the relationship between anti allergy drugs and alzheimer ?
polskibus··on The protein Reelin keeps popping up in brains that resist aging and Alzheimer’s
Check this out https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6667498/

Reelin seems to also decrease obesity and hunger. Sounds like a wonder drug.

polskibus··on Chameleon: Meta’s New Multi-Modal LLM
How do you keep your knowledge after deep dive? Do you try to use it somehow? I found that reading a lot usually does not contribute to long term proficiency in a given topic, unless followed by non trivial amount of practice.
polskibus··on TimesFM: Time Series Foundation Model for time-series forecasting
how good is it on stocks?
polskibus··on Financial market applications of LLMs
Buy the dip!
polskibus··on Childhood Loneliness Linked to Later Psychosis
Which adhd meds do you have in mind ?
polskibus··on Show HN: We built the fastest spreadsheet
Can you share performance comparisons to duckdb and clickhouse?
polskibus··on Observable 2.0, a static site generator for data apps
Thank you Mike for pushing the visualisation envelope for so many years.

Is the new Framework going to support virtualized data access for data sets too large to be sent over network (think of a pivot table that allows to browse huge data warehouse) - it is impossible to prepare entire file upfront, so data queries must happen incrementally with users actions? Or is it completely the other direction from where your vision for Framework is?

polskibus··on Inside the proton, the ‘most complicated thing you could possibly imagine’
Which answer on physicsexchange is the right one? The top scored ?
polskibus··on Memory and new controls for ChatGPT
This pack of features feels more like syntactic sugar than breaking another level of usefulness. I wish they announced more core improvements.
polskibus··on Transforming Postgres into a Fast OLAP Database
I thought going full parquet as storage is something that Snowflake did first?
polskibus··on Goodbye non-KISS appliances
Siemens is same as Bosch, incl factories. But yeah look whether an appliance was made in EU or outside.
polskibus··on Database Fundamentals
The „advanced” part of Andy Pavlo’s great great database course discusses classic database design compromises and the tradeoffs, among other things.
