antonmks — Mon, 19 Jan 2026 11:11:10 +0000

NVIDIA executives allegedly authorized the use of millions of pirated books from Anna's Archive to fuel its AI training. In an expanded class-action lawsuit that cites internal NVIDIA documents, several book authors claim that the trillion-dollar company directly reached out to Anna's Archive, seeking high-speed access to the shadow library data.

It is pretty strange that a country doesn't control what is going in and what is going out. In a small European country I'm most familiar with, everything is checked by customs officers. Dogs, x-rays, customs declarations, import taxes.

I'm experienced in building high-performance data pipelines using Python and JAX, specializing in low-level optimizations like JIT compilation, vectorization, parallelization, and operator fusion. My solutions run seamlessly on CPUs, GPUs, and TPUs, consistently outperforming traditional tools like pandas and polars in both speed and scalability. If you need blazing-fast, scalable data processing leveraging modern hardware and cutting-edge compiler tech, let’s connect!

New comment by antonmks in "Sirius: A GPU-native SQL engine"

antonmks — Tue, 01 Jul 2025 07:55:34 +0000

Very interesting ! I looked at the repo and it seems that Sirius uses cudf as an engine. So it is not like relational operations were written from scratch. Also, TPCH SF=100 would fit nicely into GPU memory. Would be interesting to see comparisons of something like SF=1000.

I'm writing a series of tutorials on solving algorithmic leetcode-like problems in a modern, scalable way. I use JAX library for python, so the solutions work on cpus, gpus and tpus. Everything must be vectorized, parallel, just-in-time compiled and differentiable !

It is not really Postgres, the queries are run on DuckDB. Yeah, DuckDB is really fast for analytical queries.

Show HN: App that reads silly stories in foreign languages

antonmks — Mon, 26 Jun 2023 14:10:23 +0000

I wrote an app that reads you stories in foreign languages ( supported are English, German, Spanish, French and Ukrainian). Stories are generated with help of LLM, voices are VITS, speech recognition is fast whisper. You can add a word to dictionary just by speaking it. I hope you'll enjoy the app, it is completely free. If you have any ideas on how to improve it, I'll be happy to listen ! App link : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.berlin.bir...
