I call this the bluebox problem. Back when I worked for SAP there used to be this control called the bluebox control that embedded a browser (shdocvw) into a C++/MFC app. Almost ev…

I am making it easy to embed coding mode AI agents into SaaS applications. We have a WinterTC compatible custom JS runtime that lets the agents write code to accomplish tasks and a…

My guess is that it is a massive model similar to GPT 4.5 and $10/$50 pricing is for its output will discourage people from using it. I also read safety = nerfed.

This is really cool. PG has zlib compression on TOAST objects so this should still be okay even if you are not storing pack files. I am curious with your choice of hand-rolling pkt…

Exactly this! Classic open source bait and switch.

Recently the v8 rust library changed it from mutable handle scopes to pinned scopes. A fairly simple change that I even put in my CLAUDE.md file. But it still generates methods wit…

The 5ms write latency and 1ms write latency sounds like they are using S3 to store and retrieve data with some local cache. My guess is a S3 based block storage exposed as a networ…

I think you can get much farther with dedicated servers. I run a couple of nodes on Hetzner. The performance you get from a dedicated machine even if it is a 3 year old machine tha…

I don't think models are fundamentally getting better. What is happening is that we are increasing the training set, so when users use it, they are essentially testing on the train…

You can use libkrun to pretty much do the same thing.

Why is this not the top comment? FAIR published their C3MLeon paper about decoder-only autoregressive models that work with both text and image tokens. I believe GPT-4o's vocabular…

I am curious about models like encodec or soundstream. They are essentially meant to be codecs informed by the music they are meant to compress to achieve insane compression ratios…

I had written about it a few months back. https://blog.tarkalabs.com/what-does-a-cto-do-67c26d34ae7a As I see it, CTOs are responsible for - Making Build/Buy decisions - Hiring - S…

I tend to use foreign keys everywhere. The only time that I would skip it is when I do not need to cascade deletes. These are mostly metadata tables that will be archived on a peri…

This is awesome. Brings back so many memories as a kid. Thank you. This is built with phaser. I am not very good at this game but if you need to recover life mid game, you can use …

We built an entire system using RLS and functions. Postgraphile is frankly amazing. You can also extend the schema using Typescript or SQL.

This. I moved to Canada from India and was appalled at the mobile internet infrastructure here. It is a ripoff.

This. It took me a long time to understand this. I was so focused on the volatility that I failed to look at the larger trend. It clicked for me only a couple of months back.

This. The most underrated comment. :-)

There is also JMESPath that implements a proper spec. https://gatling.io/2019/07/31/introducing-jmespath-support/

Caire ( https://github.com/esimov/caire ) uses seam carving as well. It uses pigo for face detection as well to ensure that it does not resize around the face.
