p2-quantile-estimator]] is a streaming quantile estimator with $\mathcal{O}(1)$ memory footprint and an extremely fast update procedure. Several days ago, I learned that it was adopted for the new Paint.NET GPU-based Median Sketch effect (the description is here ). While P² meets the basic problem requirement (streaming median approximation without storing all the values), the algorithm performance is still not acceptable without additio..

Back in 2020, Apple introduced the first Macs that used Apple Silicon processors instead of Intel ones, and this transition from Intel to Apple Silicon was completed earlier this year across Apple’s entire product line. While Apple promised they’d continue supporting macOS on Intel-based Macs for the near future, those of us who remember Apple’s previous transitions from M68k-to-PowerPC and PowerPC-to-Intel know full well that this support ..

Eliza was an impressive chatbot of its era. But all its success was hidden in a carefully crafted set of rules that made it sound like a therapist. Markov chains are more flexible, as they don’t rely on strict guidelines, but rather use patterns and statistics to generate responses. Let’s explore how Markov chains work and how to build one yourself. Markov chains A Markov chain is a mathematical model that describes a sequence of events whe..

Disclaimer: views expressed are my own and are not endorsed by my employer. In 2019 we had roughly zero automated tests at StrongDM . We did manual quality assurance testing on every release. Today we have 56,343 tests. Anecdotally, the rate of bugs and failures has not decreased by a commensurate amount. Instead I think it correlates with focused efforts we’ve made at various times to either ship big new features (resulting in many u..

Simon Wilson, who’s recently been my go-to person for all AI-related stuff, has an excellent 2023 AI round-up on his website. 2023 was the breakthrough year for Large Language Models (LLMs). I think it’s OK to call these AI—they’re the latest and (currently) most “interesting development in the academic field of Artificial Intelligence that dates back to the 1950s.

Wow. What a year. There were many challenges and I accomplished little. The irony that it was the year of the rabbit is not lost on me. I’d like to thank all my friends and various associates for being a guiding light this year, as it would have been a lot more harrowing to do this one alone. Anyways, good riddance - here’s an outline of what I intend to accomplish by the end of this year. Resolutions, if you will.
