Why HN links it
Linked as a GPU-based tool for visualizing very large graphs and datasets, with commenters pointing to it as a product for big-data graph visualization rather than discussing its posts.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 7 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?
agreed! that reminds me, there's a company that specializes in this niche of visualizing large data: https://www.graphistry.com/ (haven't used it myself, looks well-made).

HN discussionI'm surprised by the amount of skepticism I'm noticing here. I have been following Suhail's work on Mighty for a few months and I was very much looking forward to it. One use case that where I think this would make my life easier is in the big-data / ML space where I'm trying to visualize large quantities of data. JS, WebGL and other supporting tools are all available today, but it's quite painful to load a graph vi…

HN discussionSeparating this out: 1. Monitoring logs for security -- people don't, but machines do. Initial security comes more from segmentation architectures (bastions, whitelisting, ..) and network/host intrusion detection systems. Logs do come into play later for app-specific rules (unpatched apps, fraud tipoffs, ...) and eventually automated UEBAs (exabeam, ..) and analyst threat hunting (plug: http://www.graphistry.com !).…

on “Ask HN: Who is hiring? (January 2024)”Moving towards streaming and generally out-of-core is great We recently added a Polars backend to GFQL (cypher graph queries on dataframes, no DB needed), both CPU and GPU mode, and super impressive.

on “Ask HN: Who is hiring? (December 2021)”We have been enjoying Casbin (ABAC): - technically: embedded in your DB, so not another infra problem + can stay in-DB for hotpath queries (ex: view all). As db-native RLS etc keeps maturing, my bet is this is where a lot will end up anyways. This is orthogonal to their discussion of service vs monolith - it enables working at the data tier vs app tier. - governance: our app does not depend on an outside company At…
