Mi pare molti non abbiano capito i paper. Deepseek ha dimostrato come fare emergere le capacità di ragionamento nei modelli e inoltre conferma lo scaling a test time, cioè se vuoi una risposta più intelligente devi spendere più tempo GPU. Cioè la domanda di hardware rimarrà alta.

In short, the right people are working on this, they're not out to build a Twitter clone, they're out to reshape the web, and help us return to the original promise of an open platform, a sense of ownership, and the ability to share with each other on our own terms.

Apache DataFusion's Ballista distributed query engine has quietly been getting a makeover over the past several months. I'm excited to see the project being maintained again! Performance is 🔥. See the updated README for more information.

In June Elon posted this graph of the rate of likes on X. It doesn't have a unit on the y axis, but it's plausible to assume that it's events/sec. If that is true, X in June was handling about 20k likes/sec. For comparison, Bluesky is now handling about 700 likes/sec during the busy part of the day.

I nuovi dati Eurostat. L'Italia è quindicesima in Europa per spesa sanitaria. Da noi si spendono oltre 700 euro in meno a persona rispetto alla media europea. Non va meglio considerando la spesa in rapporto al Pil: siamo all'8,9% rispetto alla media europea del 10,4%.

La minaccia dei superbatteri, prima causa di morte entro il 2050, ma in Italia +6,4% consumo in un anno. Per correggere il tiro l’ECDC fissa degli obiettivi anche per l’Italia da conseguire da qui al 2030: primo, riduzione del 18% del consumo di antibiotici a uso umano.

Avoiding bounds checks in Rust

Generate a slice instead of a Vec to support compiler optimization by making the size immutable.

Perform boundary checks once outside the loop.

Restrict index access using modulo operations with fixed sizes based on powers of 2.

I've just changed my handle here to my domain (martinfowler.com). It was easy to do, just followed the instructions at bsky.social/about/blog/4.... Rather than add a DNS record I added a file to the .well-known directory on my server, which did the trick nicely.

My CMU talk on using the #FDAP stack to build #InfluxDB 3.0 is up! It starts off with some intro to the problem space, but then gets into some of our database journey, how we use DataFusion, and a bit about the upcoming open source architecture: www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGS4...
