Spotify and the three main major record labels sue Anna’s Archive for $13trillion for “brazen theft of millions of files containing nearly all of the world’s commercial sound recordings”.

NVIDIA executives allegedly authorized the use of millions of pirated books from Anna's Archive to fuel its AI training. In an expanded class-action lawsuit that cites internal NVIDIA documents, several book authors claim that the trillion-dollar company directly reached out to Anna's Archive, seeking high-speed access to the shadow library data.
Laughing.
A plumber. Very resistant to AI.
It is pretty strange that a country doesn't control what is going in and what is going out. In a small European country I'm most familiar with, everything is checked by customs officers. Dogs, x-rays, customs declarations, import taxes.
I'm experienced in building high-performance data pipelines using Python and JAX, specializing in low-level optimizations like JIT compilation, vectorization, parallelization, and operator fusion. My solutions run seamlessly on CPUs, GPUs, and TPUs, consistently outperforming traditional tools like pandas and polars in both speed and scalability. If you need blazing-fast, scalable data processing leveraging modern hardware and cutting-edge compiler tech, let’s connect!

Very interesting ! I looked at the repo and it seems that Sirius uses cudf as an engine. So it is not like relational operations were written from scratch. Also, TPCH SF=100 would fit nicely into GPU memory. Would be interesting to see comparisons of something like SF=1000.
How we can use tensor operations—typically used in deep learning—for fast, parallel data processing tasks.
I'm writing a series of tutorials on solving algorithmic leetcode-like problems in a modern, scalable way. I use JAX library for python, so the solutions work on cpus, gpus and tpus. Everything must be vectorized, parallel, just-in-time compiled and differentiable !
It is not really Postgres, the queries are run on DuckDB. Yeah, DuckDB is really fast for analytical queries.

Hi there. I'm a developer with 20+ years of professional experience. I like developing AI, speech-to-text and text to speech solutions for startups and established companies. I can code MVP with advanced AI capabilities for your startup in a relatively short period of time.
It is already too late. The extinction already started. Right now it is insects, frogs and fishes that has got to go. Our time , together with the rest of vertebrates, will come in 60-70 years.
I'm in Belarus now and I can confirm that a developer with fluent English and a few years of experience gets around $400 a month.
"significant reductions in diversity at 415, 322, 300, 145 and 33 Myr ago" - it seems that periods between extinctions events are so large that you can easily fit there hundreds and even thousands of civilizations like ours. So not much to worry about, we will have plenty of opportunities to kill ourselves before a comet does us in.

Could be a good idea for Windows 10 - blocking all ads by default, including those delivered through browsers. It could seriously affect and even kill many current and potential Microsoft competitors like Google and Facebook.
Sorry if you are misled :-) The program does parses selected fields, there are strings-to-binaries procedures.
I tested this approach on multiterabyte files, take a look at my alenka project, it uses the same method to load large CSV files into databases. It just have to be done in chunks.
The program compiles fine, that pull request was referring to incorrect earlier version of test.cu file.
Test it for yourself, see if you get similar results.
Thrust CUDA calls are synchronous to each other. You can add an explicit synchronization call cudaDeviceSynchronize() and there won't be a difference in results.
I used average time for multiple runs, both GPU and CPU benchmarks ran from memory.
It should be 750MB, not 750GB. There is no way a single hard drive can read 750GB in 14 seconds.
Yes, CPU version can be accelerated as well, depending on availability of SSE extensions.
Doesn't look like it uses any kind of vectorized execution. So the only advantage one gets is reduced amount of data to process. It also doesn't mention execution on compressed data so it has to decompress the data which doesn't come cheap.
Is it possible to generate the dataset that you used ? I would like to run a benchmark for myself and downloading a 1 TB file from Amazon unfortunately is not an option.

Disk time matters only when you read your data first time. The following queries won't have to read from the disk. The compressed data may sit in memory for days and the queries won't touch the disk. Now, if your compressed data doesn't fit into memory, then disk speeds of course would matter a lot, on this I agree with you.
The disk time was subtracted because it is in-memory system and when your compressed datasets fit into memory your disk subsystem hopefully will be irrelevant.
