100x faster alternative to Pandas! (It can even beat... GPU dataframe libraries) While Pandas is the most popular DataFrame library, it has some major limitations: - Pandas only uses a single CPU core. - It often creates bulky DataFrames - Its eager (immediate) execution prevents global optimization Introducing FireDucks a highly optimized, drop-in replacement for Pandas. Just change one line of code and you're good to go: ↳ import fireducks.pandas as pd The video below shows a comparison of FireDucks with cuDF—a GPU DataFrame library. In this case, it's even faster than cuDF. That said, the query in the video has chaining operations and it uses all columns. By manually optimizing and working only with the necessary columns, the run-time decreased to: - Pandas: 14 seconds (down from 48 seconds) - FireDucks: 0.8 seconds (unchanged) [SIMILAR] - cuDF: 0.9 seconds (down from 2.6 seconds) This demonstrates that FireDucks' compiler automatically performs the same optimizations that you would need to explicitly implement in cuDF and Pandas. Most importantly, the optimization does not affect the final result. I've shared a link to the Colab notebook in the next tweet. _____ Find me → Akshay 🚀 ✔️ For more insights and tutorials in AI and Machine Learning.show more

Makes Pandas 20x Faster using FireDucks... ...by changing JUST... ONE LINE of code. Pandas has a few limitations: - a single-core computation. - creates bulky DataFrames. - always follows an eager execution mode (every op triggers immediate computation), which is why it cannot prepare a smart execution plan that optimizes the entire sequence of operations. FireDucks is a heavily optimized alternative with exactly the same API as Pandas’ that addresses these. There are three ways to use it: 1) Load the extension: %𝐥𝐨𝐚𝐝_𝐞𝐱𝐭 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗸𝘀.𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐬; 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘀 𝗮𝘀 𝗽𝗱 2) Import FireDucks instead of Pandas: 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗸𝘀.𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐬 𝐚𝐬 𝐩𝐝 3) If you have a Python script, execute is as follows: 𝗽𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗻3 -𝗺 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗸𝘀.𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗱𝗲.𝗽𝘆 Done! ✅ Check this out👇show more

Microsoft is testing a new feature in Windows 11... called Low Latency Profile that gives a short boost to your CPU for 1 to 3 seconds when you open apps or menus. Early tests show Microsoft apps like Edge and Outlook open up to 40% faster, while the Start menu and other menus can load up to 70% faster, with CPU use jumping high for a few seconds then dropping right back down. Microsoft says this is normal because Apple does it in macOS and Linux, plus phones use the same type of quick CPU boosts for better speed. The feature is only in early Insider testing now, so it is not out for everyone yet.show more

We’ve made the decision to relaunch $Pandu Pandas on... Pump.fun 🚀 Ca: 2xm2WZ9krE2YAArRC6S6ZzJAYgN813K6hh2dawKjpump The main reason is simple: higher activity, more visibility, and stronger community momentum. We want to put Pandu Pandas in an environment where it can grow faster, reach more people, and thrive. This is a fresh start with bigger energy, better exposure, and a clear focus on building awareness. holders — you’re now able to migrate your tokens into the new $PANDU ecosystem 🐼🚀 You can do this through our official DApp or do manual sending. for manual sending you can find the instruction in: The migration supply snapshot will be taken at Solana block #411710061 Only supply recorded at that block will be eligible to claim.show more

INTRODUCING OCBTW: THE FIRST PANDA-BACKED ASSET A FIRST-OF-ITS-KIND 2-WAY... NFT NFT SWAP We just deployed a smart contract on Bitcoin that allows you to mint "OCBTW", a limited edition generative art collection by tclow.sats, solely by swapping an Alkane Pandas ⬢ OCBTW has a supply of 200 unique pieces and is inspired by Oyl | Building Alkanes's signature hexagon logo that defines all native Alkane assets (e.g., $DIESEL). It is 100% on-chain generative art using three.js code via HTML ⬢ OCBTW can only be minted by swapping a Panda using the 2:70104 smart contract. After 200 swaps have been completed, on a first-come-first-served basis, the mint will conclude. However, OCBTW can be swapped back to a Panda at any time, freeing up supply for another Panda holder to collect a OCBTW piece from the contract. ⬢ OCBTW is thus backed entirely by Pandas, meaning each piece will never be worth less than a Panda. This is the first time on Bitcoin that an NFT is minted with another NFT. This may be the first time this has ever been done on any chain. ⬢ OCBTW also effectively locks up up to 200 Pandas for perpetuity. Just like AP-69, this swap contract has no withdrawal function. The only way to get Pandas out of the contract is to swap your OCBTW back to a Panda. This operates on a last-in, first-out (LIFO) basis. ⬢ OCBTW can be minted by calling the 2:70104 contract using opcode 42 and including a Panda in the transaction, either by using or You can only mint 1 OCBTW per transaction. Rarity of Pandas has no effect on what OCBTW mint you will receive. ⬢ OCBTW can be viewed natively in browser on iDclub 💥 Building Alkanes at the following link: Please be patient after minting for their indexer to update after blocks clear. Please also note that the Ordiscan Alkanes indexer is currently down. ⬢ OCBTW is purely art. Art on Bitcoin. Forever.show more
