It’s on dagster. It uses duckdb. I wrote it in marimo. It was literally a sagemaker workbench. It uses polars. It runs through uv.

The holy trinity of serverless GPU has been achieved internally at @modal_labs: ✅ Custom filesystem optimized for container cold start ✅ CPU snapshot+restore ✅ GPU snapshot+restore Last one is working internally but not released yet – stay tuned!

google simply does not get enough credit for the TPU the amount of conviction & foresight it took to fund and build hardware specifically for for AI… in 2015… ten years later, literally everyone else is dependent on nvidia. except big G really a brilliant strategic move

After owning New Mexico's only geothermal power plant for 1 yr (as of this week 🥳), we (@ZanskarGeo) have fully repowered the plant back to it's nameplate capacity after drilling, completing and tying-in a new (monster) production well Below are some follow-on thoughts about

Seems like people must not know that @NASA and @IBM are releasing really epic (and open!) foundation models for weather and climate. This is their Prithvi WxC model doing zero-shot prediction for Hurricane Ida. Model Family on 🤗: https://t.co/DayyiNmoZl

Interesting report comparing EGS Geothermal to the shale boom. Today, there are a few companies chasing this (@fervoenergy , @ZanskarGeo, etc.) but finance challenges and drilling costs remain a challenge. link in the reply.

pretty crazy that in 2015 german vision researchers working on Biomedical Image Segmentation sat down and coded a CNN that’s stayed state-of-the-art for ten years today U-Net remains competitive. paper has 100k citations some people have incredible intuition

Just was 10 years too late, and indexing at 1. Every Julia dev knows Python, every Python dev does not need to know Julia.
What happened to Julia being the future of ML? Why didn't it succeed?

There was quite the gradient in snowfall across the Denver metro/Foothills with last night's snow. Here's a map of all of the reports we received. A @CoCoRaHS observer near Conifer reported 21", while @DENAirport only saw 0.6" - only ~40 miles separates these two spots! #cowx
