rusackas··on Show HN: My Claude subscription did $5,868 of API-equivalent work last month
Pretty awesome!

Looks like I'm at $27,428.55... on just this computer.

I'll try to use more... enjoy the subsidized tokens while they last!

rusackas··on Localtalk: A Mac app using local WisprKit, to talk to your computer PRIVATELY
There might be a hundred of these out there, but I'd love to know if this comes in handy for others.

I have tried several offerings, including WisprFlow, which many friends recommended and use, as well as Apple's own tools. But I was reluctant because (a) I don't want to pay, and (b) I don't want my voice going to some company capturing my ideas/voice forever.

So this just uses your Mac's local hardware, running the model locally, and it's all yours, all private, all open source. Thoughts/contributions welcome.

rusackas··on Secure and Low-Latency Queries at Scale with Raft Data Platform – [R]DP
Speaking as an Apache Superset committer/PMC member, this is awesome. We love to see more use cases and implementations of Apache Superset out there in the world. We're trying to spread the word about Superset (and Preset!) as far and wide as we can in the BI world, and this is another great use case.
rusackas··on The Data Engineer's Guide to Fast Apache Superset Dashboards
In case you didn't know, open-source BI is here, and prepping to take over the BI world. Herein, we'll explore how to optimize slow BI dashboards, exploring solutions from caching and sampling to precomputed aggregations. We'll explore practical examples using Trino, Postgres, and Apache Superset, targeting sub-π-second query response times.

That's probably not trivial, but it seems plausible. The beauty of open source is that you can help contribute this if you're fired up about it!

Maxime, the original author of Airflow/Superset, is also the CEO of Preset (where I work), so he/we are still working on Superset every day :)

Superset lets you join tables within the same database. If you want to do cross-DB joins, we have a new (beta) in-memory meta-DB that lets you do this, but we generally see and recommend people using things like Trino for this.

Well, it's free! Or significantly cheaper even if you opt to use Preset to run a hosted/managed/compliant version of it, and not have to deal with config/security/upgrades/migrations. This article is a year old, but it might help a bit: https://preset.io/blog/apache-superset-vs-tableau/

We try! We also accept PRs and Issues if there are things bugging people, of course. It's always a balancing act between building some new feature that people are clamoring for, or fixing those cosmetic issues that always crop up.

You can check this out. This is a Preset Demo, but shows quite a bit of Superset within Preset (which offers multiple instances of Superset as "Workspaces") https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0HwGnC1rU8

Maybe you can't say who, but I'm sure curious. Add yourself to this page if you can: https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/master/RESOURCES/INT...

You can style dashboards with CSS as much as you'd like, though there are some limitations (canvas/webGL elements). I wrote a whole blog post on it: https://preset.io/blog/customizing-superset-dashboards-with-...

If you want to style the whole application, you can fork the repo and go bananas. If you're looking for theming, there's more to be done yet on that front, and I wrote an article on that too: https://preset.io/blog/theming-superset-progress-update/

There is a major release on the horizon (4.0) and there were just a couple of patch releases for the 3.x variants. I'm surprised to see it trending too, but I'm happy about it. More people need to know that Open Source BI is here, and here to win.

Yep... there's Drill By, which is more flexible than drill-down. Rather than having to specify a strict hierarchy of drilling "levels" you can pick columns, hierarchical or otherwise, to drill into.
