Their real mote is the cost efficiency and the ad business. They can (probably) justify the AI spend and stay solvent longer than the market can stay irrational.
You can get 50ns with this. Of course, you would verify at NIST.
it changes and you move on.
it has had a combined SQL and dataframe engine since March 2015...
Lots of states have state-run liquor stores, even super conservative ones.
It’s a smaller delta than you think.
Arbitrary examples, I know, but I moved a large software that was truly mixed C++ and python project to conda-forge and all sorts of random C++ dependencies were in there, which drastically simplified distribution and drastically reduced compile time.
If I had done it today, it might be nix+bazel, or maybe conda+bazel, but maintaining a world of C++ libraries for distribution as wheels does not sound like fun - especially because nobody is doing that work as a community now
Want to make sure a software stack works well on a Cray with MPI+cuda+MKL, macOS, and ARM linux, with both C++ and Python libraries? It’s possible with conda-forge.
Honestly, even Germany is probably better bang-for-the-buck than Hyderabad, but Hyderabad has the volume and the offices.
I think “SQL is the interface” even for telemtry is the thing that truly makes sense, but it is messy with logs compared to splunk for example
1. A user interacting with multiple MCP servers, behind a gateway (with MCP client support) to get authentication from the user to those servers in some way (OAuth/OIDC, with PKCE, usually, sometimes token exchange), allowing out-of-band auth
2. The same, but built on identity for service accounts/native identity or something, for automation
would enable this. There’s a few SEPs open now around this.
Then somebody comes along and asks about something specific, so you expand.
Finally they use an LLM to compress after their pet idea was satisfied.
It’s crazy really, we’re just on a never ending rollercoaster here.
(guessing github.com/NEWBS was taken)
