I think your definition of heavy is different than lots of other folks I know -- I'm at $1500 / mo and am actively holding back.

I agree and would take it one step further — the structure of the joins is something that should most often come from the schema, not the query. In the same way that the attributes…

The move is now to sample it and make new music!

Isn't 63% => 54% regression on MMLU-Pro a huge issue? They said that it excels at advanced reasoning but that seems like a big drawback there.

Makes sense! I was just talking with a Temporal solutions engineer this week and this metric is their recommended one for autoscaling on. Instead of autoscaling on queue depth, you…

Its interesting to see how the Rails world still thinks in terms of the number of processes listening to a queue, instead of thinking in the cloud-native, elastic, serverless terms…

Dang this is cool! I get why replit went so heavy on nix but I also feel like it must have a cost for them — nix is hard to learn, especially for folks new to development which I k…

Practical dichotomy — that’s why this thread exists. You either platform it or you don’t, and you’re either legislated to do so or not. What middle ground do you see that allows th…

It’s a fundamental issue though — there’s no “figuring it out” that a government can do that won’t either censor or facilitate. 25 years has been long enough to find tactical polic…

A new paradigm for building web apps: a framework integrated with a runtime integrated with an IDE! https://gadget.dev We think that so much of software development is still the sa…

Postgres materialized views have to be manually refreshed on a schedule, and so are always out of date, whereas ReadySet keeps your results up to date automatically as the input ch…

This system doesn’t support interactive transactions does it? In that the whole read / write set needs to be known up front before a transaction can start being processed? I know t…

I mean, it’s also a bug with Resque? Resque predates the introduction of the new command in Redis and hasn’t really been maintained since. “My software is as buggy as 10 year old s…

So glad that Mike has set up a sustainable model for building rock solid infrastructure, however: I can’t stand that you need to pay for a pro license to avoid completely avoidable…

https://therecord.media/security-researcher-drops-chrome-and... says this isn't a fully weaponizable exploit because you still need to escape the Chrome sandbox after using this. B…

A missing colour in the discussions around complexity today is the ever growing ambition for the problems we're all trying to solve. My grand unified profoundly unserious theory is…

Nothing wrong with starting there as long as there is a path to profitability with a mass market product! Do you think there is one for vertically grown potatoes? Or corn? Both are…

Totally possible to compete on quality, especially if you are more in it for the lifestyle or the community aspect. You can sell at a farmer's market for 5x what the local grocery …

So far, everyone growing vertically is growing crops that are almost entirely water because they're the only things that grow fast enough to turn a profit. They then sell them to r…

That’s just it — no benefit to you, but a lot of benefit to them. They need analytics to sustain their business. They need ads to sustain their business. They (maybe) need fancy in…
