K-Means is simple. Making it fast on GPU isn't.... Flash-KMeans is an IO-aware implementation of exact k-means that rethinks the algorithm around modern GPU bottlenecks. By attacking the memory bottlenecks directly, Flash-KMeans achieves: - 30x speedup over cuML - 200x speedup over FAISS Using the same exact algorithm, just engineered for today’s hardware. At the million-scale, Flash-KMeans can complete a k-means iteration in milliseconds. Here's why this matters today: K-means has always been an offline primitive. Something you run once to preprocess data and move on. These speedups change that. ↳ Vector databases like FAISS use k-means to build search indices. Faster k-means means you can re-index dynamically as data changes, not batch it overnight. ↳ LLM quantization methods need k-means to find optimal weight codebooks, per layer, repeatedly. What takes hours could now take minutes. ↳ MoE models need fast token routing at inference time. Millisecond k-means makes it viable to run this inside the inference loop, not just in preprocessing. The 200x over FAISS is the number to internalize. FAISS is the industry standard. Most production vector search systems sit on top of it. Link to the paper and code in next tweet!show more

I love the term #bombogenesis - coined in a... white paper in 1980. It sounds scary, but really it means “rapidly intensifying storm”. The reason it matters is, the faster a storm deepens (pressure drops) the stronger the wind gusts due to an imbalance in pressure - it forces air to move quickly. So when meteorologists say a #storm is a bomb it means something. In this case gusts over the ocean will reach 100 mph, with coastal gusts to #hurricane force 75 mph. #blizzard #blizzardof2026show more

Its not every day you wake up to find... that the Pope has made your lifes work the central focus of his papacy: “Disarming AI means freeing it from the mentality of “armed” competition [..] This entails a race for ever more powerful algorithms and larger datasets, driven by the desire to secure geopolitical or commercial dominance." - POPE LEO XIV, May 2026 Here, “disarmed” means “neutralised” in the sense that this should not be a differentiator The Innovation Game (TIG) was created to keep data and algorithms open, in order to prevent monopolistic control It's not just an aspiration, it's an economic mechanism that makes open data and open algorithms the rational economic choice • All algorithms are published openly by TIG • If you are willing to make the data you process with an algorithm open, you can use it free-of-charge • Alternatively, if you would like to keep this data private, there is a fee to pay for using the algorithm • All fees are used to fund more open innovation Its an elegant, global, self-reinforcing engine The logical end point of monopoly is that innovation stops We cannot allow that to happen Pope Leo XIV I would be grateful for your thoughts on The Innovation Gameshow more

Big moment for Postgres! Search has always been Postgres'... weak spot, and everyone just accepted it. If you needed a real relevance-ranked keyword search, the default answer was to spin up Elasticsearch or add Algolia and deal with the data sync headaches forever. The problem isn't that Postgres can't do text search. It can. But the built-in `ts_rank` function uses a basic term frequency algorithm that doesn't come close to what modern search engines deliver. So teams end up: - Running a separate Elasticsearch cluster just for search - Building sync pipelines that inevitably drift out of consistency - Paying for managed search services that charge per query - Accepting mediocre search relevance because "good enough" ships faster But this is actually a solvable problem. You can realistically bring industry-standard search ranking directly into Postgres, which eliminates the need for external infra entirely. This exact solution is now available with the newly open-sourced pg_textsearch by Tiger Data - Creators of TimescaleDB, a Postgres extension that brings true BM25 relevance ranking into the database. BM25 is the algorithm behind Elasticsearch, Lucene, and most modern search engines. Now it runs natively in Postgres. Here's what pg_textsearch enables: - True BM25 ranking with configurable parameters (the same algorithm powering production search systems) - Simple SQL syntax: `ORDER BY content 'search terms'` - Works with Postgres text search configurations for multiple languages - Pairs naturally with pgvector for hybrid keyword + semantic search That last point matters a lot for RAG apps. The video below shows this in action, and I worked with the team to put this together. You can now do hybrid retrieval (combining keyword matching with vector similarity) in a single database, without stitching together multiple systems. The syntax is clean enough that you can add relevance-ranked search to existing queries in minutes. pg_textsearch is fully open-source under the PostgreSQL license. You can find a link to their GitHub repo in the next tweet.show more

Honored to have the endorsement of my dear friend,... Samuel L. Jackson Sam has always shown up for the people and causes he believes in - and I am grateful he is showing up for Los Angeles. We’re aligned on the change I’m working to bring to L.A. That means getting more people off the streets into housing and connected with comprehensive services. It means more affordable housing units being built. And it means continuing to lower crime down to historic lows.show more
