Ask HN: Who is hiring? (September 2023)
- single cell genomics: in collaboration with the Chan-Zuckerberg Initiative, we recently released TileDB-SOMA for single cell data, with APIs for both Python and R built around a common storage specification: https://tiledb.com/blog/tiledb-101-single-cell
With TileDB, all data â tables, genomics, images, videos, location, time-series â across multiple domains is captured as multi-dimensional arrays. TileDB Cloud implements a totally serverless infrastructure and delivers access control, easier data and code sharing and distributed computing at global scale, eliminating cluster management, minimizing TCO and promoting scientific collaboration and reproducibility.

Why TileDB as a Vector Database
Stavros from TileDB here (Founder and CEO). I thought of requesting some feedback from the community on this blog. It was only natural for a multi-dimensional array database like TileDB to offer vector (i.e., 1D array) search capabilities. But the team managed to do it very well and the results surprised us. We are just getting started in this domain and a lot of new algorithms and features are coming up, but the sooner we get feedback the better.

Why isnât there a decent file format for tabular data?
Hi folks, Stavros from TileDB here. Here are my two cents on tabular data. TileDB (Embedded) is a very serious competitor to Parquet, the only other sane choice IMO when it comes to storing large volumes of tabular data (especially when combined with Arrow). Admittedly, we havenât been advertising TileDBâs tabular capabilities, but thatâs only because we were busy with much more challenging applications, such as genomics (population and single-cell), LiDAR, imaging and other very convoluted (from a data format perspective) domains.
Similar to Parquet:
* TileDB is columnar and comes with a lot of compressors, checksum and encryption filters.
* TileDB is built in C++ with multi-threading and vectorization in mind
* TileDB integrates with Arrow, using zero-copy techniques
* TileDB has numerous optimized APIs (C, C++, C#, Python, R, Java, Go)
* TileDB pushes compute down to storage, similar to what Arrow does
Better than Parquet:
* TileDB is multi-dimensional, allowing rapid multi-column conditions
* TileDB builds versioning and time-traveling into the format (no need for Delta Lake, Iceberg, etc)
* TileDB allows for lock-free parallel writes / parallel reads with ACID properties (no need for Delta Lake, Iceberg, etc)
* TileDB can handle more than tables, for example n-dimensional dense arrays (e.g., for imaging, video, etc)
Useful links:
* Github repo (https://github.com/TileDB-Inc/TileDB)
* TileDB Embedded overview (https://tiledb.com/products/tiledb-embedded/)
* Docs (https://docs.tiledb.com/)
* Webinar on why arrays as a universal data model (https://tiledb.com/blog/why-arrays-as-a-universal-data-model)
Happy to hear everyoneâs thoughts.

Seeking options for multidimensional data storage
It could be worth checking out TileDB: https://github.com/TileDB-Inc/TileDB The entire system, down to the data format itself, is optimized around storing multi-dimensional arrays. It also supports timestamps and real numbers as dimensions, which could be handy given your example data. [Full disclosure: I currently work for TileDB.]

Launch HN: Patterns (YC S21) â A much faster way to build and deploy data apps
First want to say congrats to the Patterns team for creating a gorgeous looking tool. Very minimal and approachable. Massive kudos!
Disclaimer: we're building something very similar and I'm curious about a couple of things.
One of the questions our users have asked us often is how to minimize the dependence on "product specific" components/nodes/steps. For example, if you write CI for GitHub Actions you may use a bunch of GitHub Action references.
Looking at the `graph.yml` in some of the examples you shared you use a similar approach (e.g. patterns/openai-completion@v4). That means that whenever you depend on such components your automation/data pipeline becomes more tied to the specific tool (GitHub Actions/Patterns), effectively locking in users.
How are you helping users feel comfortable with that problem (I don't want to invest in something that's not portable)? It's something we've struggled with ourselves as we're expanding the "out of the box" capabilities you get.
Furthermore, would have loved to see this as an open source project. But I guess the second best thing to open source is some open source contributions and `dcp` and `common-model` look quite interesting!
For those who are curious, I'm one of the authors of https://github.com/orchest/orchest

Argo became a graduated CNCF project
Haven't tried it. In its favor, Argo is vendor neutral and is really easy to set up in a local k8s environment like docker for desktop or minikube. If you already use k8s for configuration, service discovery, secret management, etc, it's dead simple to set up and use (avoiding configuration having to learn a whole new workflow configuration language in addition to k8s). The big downside is that it doesn't have a visual DAG editor (although that might be a positive for engineers having to fix workflows written by non-programmers), but the relatively bare-metal nature of Argo means that it's fairly easy to use it as an underlying engine for a more opinionated or lower-code framework (orchest is a notable one out now).
- Ideas for infrastructure and tooling to use for frequent model retraining?
