Yes!! A UI widget that shows how far along on the prompt cache eviction timelines we are would be great.

" Combined with this only happening in a corner case (stale sessions) and the difficulty of reproducing the issue, it took us over a week to discover and confirm the root cause"

I don't know about others, but sessions that are idle > 1h are definitely not a corner case for me. I use Claude code for personal work and most of the time, I'm making it do a task which could say take ~10 to 15mins. Note that I spend a lot of time back and forth with the model planning this task first before I ask it to execute it. Once the execution starts, I usually step away for a coffee break (or) switch to Codex to work on some other project - follow similar planning and execution with it. There are very high chances that it takes me > 1h to come back to Claude.

Oracle 23ai also has a similar feature that "explodes" JSON into relational tables/columns for storage while still providing JSON based access API's : https://www.oracle.com/database/json-relational-duality/
Re:Yandex open-sources its exabyte-scale big data platform on Wednesday March 22, 2023 @06:00PM (#35267651)
I was going over some of the code in the core folder for concurrency, threading and compression, what surprised me is that there’s absolutely no comments whatsoever. Agree that unless there’s excellent documentation, open source maintenance might be challenging.

Having said that, this definitely does look to be an impressive feat of engineering!

Re:Yandex open-sources its exabyte-scale big data platform on Wednesday March 22, 2023 @05:57PM (#35267620)
This looks very impressive! As another commenter echoed, the code base is ~5million lines of C++ code, but almost no comments at all. Unless the documentation is excellent, maintenance/open source work is going to be difficult.
Re:How deep is the rot in America’s banking industry? on Thursday March 16, 2023 @09:47PM (#35191795)
Does anyone know of a way to check the amount of lending done through Bank Term Funding Programme so far?
Lazy Adaptive Trees : https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.14778/1687627.1687669

It is a B-Tree where updates to the tree are buffered in the branch nodes and are propagated down to the leaf nodes at a later point in time.
