isn't it just another form of this? xitter.cf/QuinnyPig/status/21118…
had a fun time this morning volunteering at island beach state park with @IslandBeachNJ. we were making bags of shells.
some impressive performance gains in the new @datapolars 2.0.0 release. a quick test with github.com/pola-rs/polars-be… (tweaked for 2.0.0) #datascience #rust #rustlang
We just released Polars 2.0.
It removed many of our legacy decisions makes the streaming engine our default and promotes SQL to a first class citizen within Polars.
It comes with initial out-of-core (spill to disk) support, a new Map data type and a lot of performance improvements. In fact, we think Polars is now one of the fastest analytical SQL engines on a single node. See benchmarks in the post: pola.rs/posts/release-polars…
this is absolutely incredible stuff. so fast and small. try it w/ uv to test speech-to-txt in your terminal:
uvx --from "cactus-needle[mic]" needle whistle playground
`pip install cactus-needle`, `needle.transcribe("clip.wav")`.
A 16kHz WAV or raw samples need nothing else.
`needle whistle playground` transcribes from the microphone in the terminal.
`needle whistle compare` runs the same clip through Whistle, Whisper and Moonshine with their timings, so you test and use either model.

do you think it'll save money, over buying openrouter tokens? i'm thinking of getting a mac studio...
if they’re wearing shirts from lastshiftclub.com, yes, they’re old, but they’re probably good to go.
