Congrats again micah! Also Iceberg catalog on R2 without needing to spin up additional services... lets gooooo

Maybe you mentioned it in your demo and I missed it, but how does this differ pasting the log messages to ChatGPT / Claude / another LLM? Is it mainly that yours can iterate over a large logfile without blowing up the context window?

We do quite a bit of aggregation over the log file, and generate summary stats and choose what bits to stuff in the LLM. Plan to support more platforms than just spark.

Does it suffer from the same issue as other LLMs, where it will always identify potential optimizations or improvements even if none are truly needed?

Funnily enough, instructing sonnet-3.7 to not suggest unnecessary optimisations seems to have done the trick!

thanks for the feedback! the first version had a lot more detailed code but decided to go with linking to our GitHub than copying all the code. Wanted to illustrate the core touch points involved in extending DF.

DataFusion is primarily a batch OLAP system, so we should be able to support hybrid workloads as well. And definitely agree with you re: Polars dev exp. That is something we are aiming for with our forthcoming Python sdk.

It'd also be important/useful to support Python udfs (think numpy/jax/etc.).

Yep that's our longterm gameplan.

It'd be very cool if you could collaborate with or even tap into the polars frontend. If you could execute polars logical plans but with a streaming source, that would be huge.

Are there examples of project that do this? I'd be very much interested in looking into this.

we absolutely do, the library itself is designed to be extensible. we are currently working on adding webhooks as one of our sources. are there are any specific connectors/sources you'd be interested in?

while haven't checked out Fluvio yet, we are fans of Arroyo. regarding latter my understanding is that the team is going for a SQL first complete replacement for Flink. Denormalized is meant to be an embeddable engine you can import within your project. Our plan is to focus on the developer experience for users building with Python and Typescript in particular.

thanks @ztratar. would love to hear about your workloads at embra would be very helpful vis-a-vis the direction of our typescript experience. feel free to drop us an email: hello@denormalized.io

this looks so clutch! curious if this was purpose built for the finance industry?

thanks for the encouraging words @ethegwo. Tonbo looks very cool and potentially something we could use for our state backend (currently using RocksDB which we aren't that happy about). Would love to chat about how we can work together. Feel free to reach out to me - amey@denormalized.io

have been playing this for sometime. quite addictive! ty @cpojer

Again much of that is how the accounting for stock grants goes (most of it in company’s history) and not say, actual PNL incurred in incentives.

you realise that much of it is stock grants right?

perhaps update your priors at this point. Uber is a profitable company now.

this isn’t the modus operandi. SOP is Uber will give you a call/leave a message.

Also passengers pay you $20 or so for returning an item.

Only situations where they will disable you automatically is when someone complains about safety or violence or something along those lines.

* I worked there from 2016-2020

lmao... figured it was radius reduction or somesuch. i ended up working on Winterfell (the service that managed automated radius reduction) at some point during my time there.

the picture is from like 8 years ago.

even for 2015 (when this was likely taken) Uber Eats would most certainly not have run from a single laptop. Core services like dispatch, matching, pricing etc in any case weren't geography specific. If i had to guess, this was some Ops person running a local driver incentive, payout query + email workflow from their laptop.

Have been playing around with this a bit lately and the OS integration is just really well done. Very nifty interface for shoving context from across your apps into ChatGPT.

pre-IPO RSUs usually come with a double trigger. meaning you vest them monthly or quarterly etc but a liquidity event such as an IPO, is needed to actually "vest" them in a taxable sense.

Uber's internal stuff used resolution 9 i think...

I worked at Uber too. Turns out if you work at the right places, it opens doors for you. But yes most conferences have a "request for proposal" system.

your guide literally helped me hack through a networking class i took in college a decade ago. dont work anywhere close to that stack but this brought back memories.

Love the shoutout to Gairos. But man that on-call was a pain in the arse.

Back when i was majoring in ECE at UIUC, we got to play around with Fab labs :). Yeah you'd pretty much need a advanced degree in EE or Physics to be a semi-conductor engineer I'd reckon.

Again its astounding how many Americans dont realise how the GC process really works. Only 15% of the greencards are handed out to employment based categories, rest go for family reunification. That 15% additional has country of birth quotas etc.

You realise H1B's are location specific right? All these "fixes" everyone keeps bringing up are actually a part of the law as it stands.

"The resolution recommended that in order to ensure the impartiality of the plebiscite Pakistan withdraw all tribesmen and nationals who entered the region for the purpose of fighting and that India leave only the minimum number of troops needed to keep civil order."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Security_Counci...

Given that the primary condition for the plebiscite was never met i.e. withdrawal of all the Pakistani forces, it was never going to happen. And while Article 370 has frozen the demographics of Indian J&K in 1947, Pakistani Kashmir is now majority non-Kashmiri. Plebiscite is hardly gonna happen now.

Except most immigrants out here in the valley at the very least take the old F1 student > H1B visa route. H1B is practically the only option you have to work in this country regardless of whether you got that PhD at Stanford or came here through an "outsourcing firm".

It is entirely upto Congress to pass a sensible legislation, which they've been refusing to for a better part of last 8 years.

While getting a new H1B has become statistically impossible given the statutory limits that Congress refuses to revise, there are other visas like the O1 and J-1 that are still possible.

We have a couple of guys at my company in San Francisco, who came here on a J-1 or an O-1 as opposed to the more traditional route (post-graduate degree student and then an H1).
