Do you happen to know what build issues they're referring to?
jtbaker · 2 days ago
I don't. I did a brief search through their github issues and didn't turn up anything IIRC, but honestly wasn't trying that hard.

> If a model draws a really good picture of a pelican riding a bicycle there's a solid chance it will be great at all sorts of other things.

Why?

If I hired a worker that was really good at drawing pelicans riding a bike, it wouldn't tell me anything about his/her other qualities?!

a posteriori knowledge. the pelican isn't the point, it's just amusing. the point is that Simon has seen a correlation between this skill and and the model's general capabilities.

Could you contrast this project with https://github.com/Qiskit/rustworkx?

``` BREAKING CHANGE The following packages are removed from the Pyodide distribution because of the build issues. We will try to fix them in the future: arro3-compute arro3-core arro3-io Cartopy duckdb geopandas ... polars pyarrow pygame-ce pyproj zarr ```

https://pyodide.org/en/stable/project/changelog.html#version...

Bummer, looks like a lot of useful geo/data tools got removed from the Pyodide distribution recently. Being able to use some of these tools in a Worker in combination with R2 would unlock some powerful server-side workflows. I hope they can get added back. I'd love to adopt CF more widely for some of my projects, and seems like support for some of this stuff would make adoption by startups easier.

i agree, you can search in the terminal like you can iterm2 either, which is super annoying.

It’s merged to main but not in any district channels yet AFAIK

Could you explain what you mean by multi-tab support? I use Ghostty daily with multiple tabs.
jtbaker · 12 days ago
I wasn't clear, I mean split-pane side by side (or top-bottom etc.) tab views, like iTerm offers.

Ghostty is so great. Cross-platform but native on Mac and Linux. Core written in a cool random language, showing that you can have well-behaved Mac apps that aren’t just pure Swift / Objective C. Same great design no doubt helps here.

The only thing I want (on MacOS) is the ability to search for text within a winodw, like when I'm debugging a stack trace, and multi-tab support.

Elasticsearch comes to mind.[0]

The docs state that is query is in the URL parameters, that will be used.I remember that a few years back it wasn't as easy - you HAD to send the query in the GET requests body. (Or it could have been that I had a monster queries that didn't fit through the URL character limits.)

I remember this pain, circa 2021 perhaps?

Problem is though Python is slow at runtime. May not matter for many use cases, but I've worked with a lot of startups that suffered terrible reliability problems because they chose Python (or Rails, or Node to some extent) and the service cannot handle peak time load without a lot of refactoring and additional app servers.

Depending on your framework Python is at best ~3x slower (FastAPI) and at worst ~20x (Django) than asp.net on the techempower benchmarks, which maps pretty well to my real world experience.

jtbaker · 19 days ago
Not saying that it’s necessarily the right choice, but it opens up contributions to code to a broader user base and making those rapid iterations that tools like fastapi allow can be pretty important when proving out a concept early on.

Horses for courses… also, a Horizontal Pod Autoscaler and Load Balancer setup is pretty cheap.

One thing that I never really see mentioned in these types of articles is that a lot of DuckDB’s functionality does not work if you need to spill to disk. iirc, percentiles/quartiles (among other aggregate functions) caused DuckDB to crash out when it spilled to disk.
jtbaker · a month ago
I’m pretty sure I’ve done this and not had any issues. Can you share a minimum reproducible example?
