Yes, spark is too complicated for most cases;

But if you're inclined to use it, databricks' setup of spark just saves you an incredible amount of time that you'd normally waste on configuration and wiring infrastructure (storage, compute, pipelines, unified access, VPNs etc). It's expensive and opinionated, but the data engineers you need to deal with spark OOM errors constantly is greater. Also databricks' default configs give you MUCH better performance out of the box than anything DIY and you don't have to fiddle with partitions and super niche config options to get even medium workloads stable

These are truly the best! And I've done a lot of research. Nowadays there are some smaller luxury brands that are closer with feature parity but not quite. The original Fossil team spun off to develop some kind of general watch platform, so I'm hopeful we'll see a remake by the time my fossil kicks out.

Hi, I've looked into it, I received a lot of mail today -- could it be the spelling?

Sent you an email.

When I first moved to vienna, I also decided to check out Cafe Central. I ordered a tea (cost 5€). A teapot arrived, with a teabag on the side that I was supposed to brew myself. But the water was lukewarm, not nearly hot enough for tea. I complained to the waiter (dressed in something like a tuxedo). He dipped his finger in my teapot!! Then begrudgingly brought me new water lol.

You're probably joking but I'm sure this would make a killing

A substantial contributor to that heat is asphalt and concrete though (absorbs heat and releases it at night). And to make it worse there's no tree cover. Winter is also more manageable if you don't have to wait 20 mins for a bus in an uncleared snowbank just because non-car mobility is second-class

Curious if people use streamlit for big data production visualizations?

We're considering it but not sure how it scales when gigabytes of data are involved

The archive link includes the paywall lol

While publishing the data, he also published part of his home folder (containing his personal files). Although he cancelled the torrent before anyone could download the full version, the partial torrent could still have data extracted

Shoot me an email (in bio), I'm part of a green energy AI project and we're looking for academic collab (mostly in DACH region)

Completely hearsay at this point, but a telegram channel linked above is saying that wagner has a contingency plan that will be "activated" following confirmation of prigozhyn and other leader's death. Maybe another move towards Rostov. Again, hearsay, but last time it was pretty spot on

Came to the exact same conclusion. Who is this person and where are their sources?

Not a dumb question at all imo, it’s missing from the info. At the very least sent to OpenAI which is affiliated with YC

The article says they weren't allowed to accept tips

Sorry! Something went wrong, but we're looking into it.

And how'd it go? :)

Receiving SEPA is not instant however, it usually takes 24 hrs or longer in case of weekends.

When I lived in Canada I really took e-transfer for granted and was surprised to learn it's not a thing in other places.

Claude has a free slack client that I briefly was able to access by creating a new slack workspace and adding it there. But as of yesterday it wasn't working for me
