TimesFM is a pretrained time-series foundation model created by Google Research for forecasting. The first open model checkpoint, timesfm-1.0-200m, focuses on univariate time series forecasting. It requires contiguous context and horizon of the same frequency, with the option for a frequency indicator. TimesFM does not support probabilistic forecasts but offers quantile heads experimentally. The model […]

While LSD-fueled visions inspired Owsley Stanley to create “The Wall of Sound” for the Grateful Dead, its impact on live sound engineering was groundbreaking. Addressing issues with amplification and feedback, the innovative design revolutionized concert sound. Consisting of over 600 speakers behind the band, the system provided crystal clear audio by isolating each instrument and […]
The author shares how Kragen’s past complaint about Java regex performance led to the creation of needle, a library that compiles regex to JVM bytecode, making matches more efficient. The author includes benchmarks showcasing how needle compares to the Java standard library and the brics automaton library for different types of regex patterns. While needle […]
This micro-book delves into parsers, memory allocations, and arenas. Written in Rust, the parser decodes Ruby code, boasting a remarkable 2x speed improvement from 37MB/s to 80MB/s by eliminating heap allocations and storing parsed data exclusively in the arena. The innovative approach allows for quick writing of parsed data to disk and easy retrieval through […]
InstructLab 🐶 (ilab) is a CLI tool focused on Large Language Models (LLMs), employing a novel synthetic data-based alignment tuning method for LLMs. The tool allows users to download, chat with, and enhance pre-trained models by adding new knowledge and skills to a local repository. Notably, ilab optimizes resource usage for community members with modest […]
J.G. Ballard, known for his provocative and futuristic novels, was a realist chronicler of 20th-century horrors. His dark, dystopian visions of a technocratic, hypercapitalist society anticipate the realities of our modern world. Not only did his fiction explore the postmodern condition, but Ballard also made eerily accurate predictions about the rise of the internet and […]
Cyperful The Capybara visual debugger is an addon for Ruby Capybara system tests, providing a great developer experience similar to tools like Cypress.io. Features include live updates of test steps, pausing the test to interact with the page, viewing API requests and console logs, and auto-restarting the test when source code is modified. It can […]
pyspread is a unique spreadsheet application written in Python, allowing users to input Python expressions in cells, eliminating the need for a separate formula language. The latest version is v2.2.3, requiring Python 3.6+. Users like Clara, a research engineer, benefit from quickly analyzing results with distinct parameters. Peter, in business, appreciates keeping data separate from […]
