We open-sourced a PyMC-to-Rust compiler.
What's interesting is that the compilation is done 100% by a claude code agent in a validation loop.
Output runs 3-7x faster than highly optimized PyMC code.

free app idea for vibe coders!!
developers waste massive amounts of time debugging. imagine you just paste in your code and it tells you whether the program will eventually finish running or loop forever. just a simple yes/no answer
why has nobody built this yet?

“What was it like to work in Machine Learning before XGBoost was released?”
Whether @modal_labs is part of the tech stack will absolutely factor into my decision about where I work next. Never had a better developer experience.

XGBoost 2.0 is here github.com/dmlc/xgboost/rele…
Every product thoughtfluencer who tries to provide an ex-post-facto explanation for why some products succeed while others fail should watch this keynote by Darius Kazemi from XOXO.

This weekend I hacked up something I’ve been going on about for weeks:
ELO EVERYTHING
- See two objects
- Pick which you like more
- Their ELOs adjust accordingly
- (Repeat)
- Check the leaderboard
(ELO is the ranking algorithm from chess)

This is an example of why general education is important.

It’s so that you know things like Puerto Rico is a territory of the United States, you fucking moron.
BREAKING: The CEO of @Hertz wrote a letter to Puerto Rico‘s representative in Congress stating that Hertz has rewritten its policy to make it abundantly clear that Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory - not a foreign country - & because of that Puerto Rico driver’s licenses are not international IDs they are just as valid as any ID from any state in this union. This news follows the story I first reported last week, where a Puerto Rican man at the New Orleans international airport was denied a rental car because at least two Hertz workers said his license was international. On top of that, the man who recorded the incident, had the police called on him by a Hertz employee who said he can never rent from Hertz again because he recorded the incident. *She was wrong; he can rent from Hertz again*. The police officer who responded to the call was dismissive and rude and is now the subject of an internal investigation by his police department because the customer, Mr. Humberto Marchand, filed a complaint with the @KennerPolice. Following our report, Representative @Jenniffer wrote a letter to Hertz asking for a companywide educational campaign, and she got it.
Lastly: Puerto Ricans are United States citizens. Please share.
