But do we really need a paradigm shift in how we express the concept of a paradigm shift? It's not like the meaning of the words expired.

But inference costs scale per task whereas platform services like postgres typically amortize across tasks. If you are selling tasks done by inference, then compute is part of your…

Originally I replied here that I thought you were both missing the point (but I was wrong). I wrote: It has a garbage collector and goroutines, so clearly it is not trying to be a …

The language choices demonstrate excellent taste though.

I interpreted it as referring to a table named "FROM" and fields named "SELECT", "WHERE" and "AND".

BTW, columnar is very similar to struct of arrays (SOA) and some of the reasons it works well overlap with SOA.

But shhhhh! Iran might read this!

I’m not advocating this, but it is worth observing that it is yet another problem one could attempt to address with dependency injection, similar to io and allocators.

Help me understand why not? I know solar power generation in space, and "beaming" the power back, was a naive idea. But this would actually use the power up there, mostly for train…

Not a merger, right, unless I missed something (admittedly skimming).

I have been thinking about this a lot lately. How do you capture key factors succinctly, and even harder, keep it succinct as it evolves? The shrinking that property based testing …

The simplest example is that you can easily be wasteful in your use of threads. If you just write blocking code, you will block the thread while waiting on io, and threads are a fi…

Can you monomorphize the injected effect handlers using comptime, for io and allocators (and potentially more)?

You mean cell notes? If so, perfectly well, yes.

I do something similar with Claude Code. I say, "I ate a single serving of that Toasted Beef Ravioli that Aldi sells." Claude web searches, finds it, gets its nutrition info, then …

I'm having great luck having Claude Code generate, read, and update spreadsheets by writing Python code that uses gspread.

But if you are saying that a human can instruct ai agents to refactor to prevent the big ball of mud, then you are saying that clean code *is* important.

It is an interesting possibility that must be considered. Only time will tell. However I disagree. I think complex systems will still turn into a big ball of mud and AI agents will…

AI detectors don't work.

Tell me if I'm understanding you correctly. I summarize this in my head as, "This person loves NixOS because it gave him GitOps for his OS."

He's about to have the most compute. Wonder if he can do anything noteworthy with it.

This list reads like, "AIs are not your typical braindead person on the street. They actually use a decent but not crazily advanced vocabulary." I mean, "tapestry" is a great word …

Just an observation, a light bulb moment, I wanted to share. Most of the dev teams I've ever encountered who said they were "doing REST" were not actually following HATEOAS. Per a …

We are going to start seeing that be the primary selection criterion. Pick a stack that agents are good at.
