- Replying to @amuldotexeAdd kalman filters, control theory, guidance systems, navigation systems to that. Now we can move the projectile around.
- Replying to @shrihackerHe has been calling multiple key geo-political incident way before they happened. My general opinion is folks like these have ties to intelligence community, close relatives even. Classic example is Alex Jones crashing bohemian grove meetings and his rant accurately calling
- Replying to @TheAhmadOsmanI think it's false positive rate may have increased. Seeing many people complaining that they got banned with no recourse. It is inevitable that FPs will increase if we push sensitivity.
- Replying to @minamisatokunJust go through this and you are good.
- Yesterday I came across the blogpost "Towards Inserting One Billion Rows in SQLite Under A Minute" by @iavins and thought I could speed it up even more by reducing all heap allocations by using an arena allocator for each thread (bumpalo). Spent few hours rewriting the code.
- Replying to @deepaknsNow the kids have to mug up scikit-learn tutorials 🥲.
- Limbo is such a great project. One day you can work on parser, storage engine and if you are feeling fiesty concurrency. You can learn CS by just building limbo. It also has a great community. Dive head first folks. More action to come. Stay tuned.I merged `DELETE` support PR by Krishna Vishal to Limbo! There's some work remaining on balancing the b-tree after deletion, but getting there. Full PR here: github.com/tursodatabase/…
- Replying to @amuldotexeThe light still has to travel the physical distance between US and India in the optical fibre.
- Did my part in pushing Limbo a step closer to SQLite compatibility. Affinity-based coercion drove me lil bit insane. SQLite’s type system isn’t rules, it’s vibes. A couple days in, it started to click. Glad I went through this. Learned a ton about Limbo’s planner layer. Also,
@tursodatabase is rewriting sqlite in rust under the codename 'limbo'. we aim to be 100% syntax and file format compatible, while providing enhancements like native browser integration, native sync between local and remote db, and better write concurrency - plus a fully open - Stop gatekeeping. This is the reason fast.ai was established back in the day. Don't feel you are less than because you can't derive or implement something from scratch. Just learn what you need to solve the problem at hand. Develop good taste to pursueThis post is unavailable.
- Replying to @HSVSphereLeft is mild steel and right is hardened steel. That's why left one has worn threads owing to its softness.
- Replying to @DylanoA4Life became especially hard in 2024 due to problems. They at first seemed impossible to overcome. Spent many sleepless nights. Waited for someone to deliver me from this. And then realisation struck that no one is coming to help and I must help myself. Life is now very different.
- Replying to @davidtolnayRust is empowering. I learnt Rust few months ago and I'm now contributing to DB project and doing things I didn't know before 2025. Being productive this sooner would'nt have been possible with C++. I've tried in the past and gave up. My background is in ML engineering.
