had a fun time this morning volunteering at island beach state park with @IslandBeachNJ. we were making bags of shells.
some impressive performance gains in the new @datapolars 2.0.0 release. a quick test with github.com/pola-rs/polars-be… (tweaked for 2.0.0) #datascience #rust #rustlang
We just released Polars 2.0.
It removed many of our legacy decisions makes the streaming engine our default and promotes SQL to a first class citizen within Polars.
It comes with initial out-of-core (spill to disk) support, a new Map data type and a lot of performance improvements. In fact, we think Polars is now one of the fastest analytical SQL engines on a single node. See benchmarks in the post: pola.rs/posts/release-polars…
this is absolutely incredible stuff. so fast and small. try it w/ uv to test speech-to-txt in your terminal:
uvx --from "cactus-needle[mic]" needle whistle playground
`pip install cactus-needle`, `needle.transcribe("clip.wav")`.
A 16kHz WAV or raw samples need nothing else.
`needle whistle playground` transcribes from the microphone in the terminal.
`needle whistle compare` runs the same clip through Whistle, Whisper and Moonshine with their timings, so you test and use either model.

i was able to better the #1trc @clickhousedb benchmark using @googlecloud c4a instances. github.com/ClickHouse/1trc/p… it crunched 1 trillions rows about 21% faster (only 141 seconds!) and cost a penny less. #clickhouse @dalemcdiarmid @gunnarmorling
playing with @typesafeai jev this morning. ideas bubbling. tbf i spend time these days asking others "is your problem a _natural language_ problem, and can you cope with non-determinism?"

a few weeks ago @amd @aiatamd started a repo on github aiming to port nvidia's cuda tools to rocm one at a time, eliminating nvidia's moat.
they called it moat. github.com/AMD-Ecosystem/moa…
the first step is admitting you have a problem, and kudos to them for being so blunt.
beloki, that's a strong basque cycling name.
Markel Beloki (EF Education-EasyPost) wins stage 2 of Tour de l'Ain in Lagnieu after a solo attack, his first pro victory! 👏🇪🇸 Unlike Soudal, EF played their cards very well. Crazy enough, his father Joseba never managed to win a pro bike race in France. 🥹 Zorionak!
