opus 4.5 is the first model that i feel i can trust to actually off load more complex tasks to and idk how to feel about it

.@bufbuild would be the undisputed champion if it supported apache arrow schema + flight the same way they do protobuf + grpc... all with the kafka interface they already offer. @DrawsMiguel ! One pipe for "control" and "data" movement.

The new 'function view' in @marimo_io. Seeing this, I wonder if marimo should add smarts such that `marimo edit` is edit mode and `marimo run` renders the same py file as a docs site. Code cells interspersed with doc cells. If 'function view' can happen automatically (without

Yet again, a little myopic take on "systems". There's prior art in the form of mainframe tech, and that certainly doesn't fit the "for decades, everything was lame" framing . Mainframes were (and are) way ahead. There are specialized processors (SAPs) for handling I/O, and there

celebrating 25 years of Quake 3 CPMA: the most skillful, hardest, fastest, greatest FPS of all time. the world's best esport. the true start of the aim community and freeform movement. the first frag movies and the birth of montages. watch it all at once. holy shit! by entik

I think I can see the parallel to mainframe architecture, but with commodity OS & hardware. Mainframe is like pic 2 because PR/SM is a type 1 hypervisor, with z/OS being the "kernel". It's like pic 3 because PR/SM is not a thing that admins/users need to think about, as it's

If every disagreement feels like friction instead of fuel, your team is stuck.

Look forward to discoveries from @VictoriaMetrics and other projects that care about perf.. using this.

Sunday rant. For software engineering, my sense is that the phrase “premature optimization is the root of all evil” has massively backfired. Its from a book on data structures and mainly tried to dissuade people from prematurely write things in assembler. But the point was to

Following the crowd and pre-established rules is often a losing strategy. Break the rules when you can, invent new ones if needed… that’s how you leave your mark and spur progress. You don’t need to cheat and lose social capital: announce what you are doing. Get allies. Just

@IBMZ @RedHat @rossmauri 😬

@IBMZ @RedHat As @OpenshiftZ or huge Docker Swarms can fit thousands of containers in zLinux, it seems like an opportunity to extend the genius of WLM outside zOS…?

Why can’t @IBMZ @RedHat re-implement WLM for @OpenshiftZ? Seeing how well WLM schedules & prioritizes work in zOS, isn’t that capability desirable for zLinux? Service policy for k8s without the madness. IBM’s Turbonomic could rebirth WLM…

It’s incredible how much optimisation is possible in programming. Unless a programming language makes the most performant way the only way of doing something, this level of gainz will be limited to a few minds. https://t.co/5A18QewMOf

Make it very easy to use CF for different workloads, to compete with “neutral cache” storage? Really hope DS9K is so radical that they call it DS10K lol.

Since RAM is abundant these days, know what IBM Z can do to make things exciting? Put things in RAM! RACLIST all RACF classes, else shove the whole DB in. All VSAM indices. All VTOC indices & VVDSes. Maybe intelligently do away with VTOCs in zOS v3, since that’s a disk concept?
