I've plugged this several times here (just a fan) but chdb's DataStore is a "lazy" drop-in replacement for pandas dataframe. Pandas API with chdb performance. I don't use it myself (I do everything mostly in sql with either duckdb or chdb) but always found pandas more convinient than polars for quick and dirty data crunching (less typing and frankly more pythonic if you're used to slicing).

Understood (fyi I was genuinely asking as I only used pyreqwest, which I like, and was looking for comparison if any)

Yep, and chdb as well. Said this before, chdb's DatStore is a pretty neat pandas replacement too.

Cython is a no-brainer really. You write the same language with immense speedup (matching what the "other languages" can achieve at much less effort).

Also tools like numba can beat them all at way less effort.

Imho, dropping into other languages should be the last resort in any project.

My comment is to say the US has proven how brutal they are consistently through all the wars of aggression they have waged in the past several decades. They do not see their "enemies" as human. I can't fix anything unfortunately.

It's incredible, after all the grotesque stories about rape, torture and murder of children, men and women during the Iraq war, active support of genocide (and 10s of thousands of children murdered by Israel, on purpose), prisoners rape and child imprisonment, a "secretary of war" and president publicly admiting to war crimes and saying things like "negotiate with bombs" you still "refuse to believe" that anyone in decision chain wouldn't do anything like this.

Nowadays I'd just use clickhouse-local / chdb / duckdb to query json files (and pretty much any standard format files)

Fwiw, I thought the article is full of great information and well researched. I think your reflex is holding you back.

You can even chain them if you have deep ssh connections (i.e. ssh from one instance to another). I think it would be ~~. to terminate the 2nd hop.

Edit: it's already explained in the OP

You don't need a vector db, you just need np.dot
