It’s not just speed, it’s also the rich feature set. Trigram search, JSONB, transactions, GIN indexes, full text search - not many databases combine them all into a Swiss Army knif…

I don’t think this is true. There’s plenty of signals for trust - if pgrust keep pouring time, money, and effort into this and get people actually using it even in non critical wor…

For me now it’s simply cost and speed. With GPT5.6 and Fable (and respective open models since then) we passed a threshold where intelligence is sufficient. Now I just need speed o…

> mathematical impossibility of reversing some integer/mod calculation > There is a loss of information in mods and integer computations making them one-way That's not correct. Tra…

Yeah but... Both things are true. LLMs are doing things we would have considered absolute AGI god tier magic 5 years ago. They also still can't count to 100 yet.

Whether they should or shouldn't is a worthy question that they have no influence over. Taking the initiative and supporting the software they rely on is a good step in the meantim…

I think this makes as dominate other species even more. Society, and especially market capitalism, is like a giant optimization function for productivity. If you step off the tread…

I’ve been vibe coding apps professionally for the last year and 100% agree with your first take. I really underestimated how much work there is in what I just call the “coordinatio…

This post makes me feel grief. I mean no offence to you OP, this looks like a beautiful desktop and I am sure there was a lot of time put into this. But just sharing my grief. 3 ye…

Ok in terms of running a 2.8T parameter model, that's true. Looking more broadly though, a model I can run on my laptop (Gemma 4) is ~4 points away from GPT-5.3 codex or Sonnet 4.5…

Does anyone else feel like the writing is on the wall for a future of local models? Spamming data centres everywhere, powering them, having to commit insane capital to hardware, al…

It boils down to this: Nobody is willing to bet against AI right now. If you're an investor, you're probably managing other people's money. Would you want to explain to your custom…

Pretty close, they're very close to Heroku in spirit except the new wave of hosted backends (Vercel, and to a lesser extent Supabase and Cloudflare Workers) are much more tightly i…

That's a fair response. I could see how some folks would benefit. I suppose what bothers me more is that they don't actually seem pedagogical in nature, they seem promotional.

I don't think it's meant to be mean or divisive, he clearly had trouble dating and he feels his conservative Christian upbringing was partially responsible for that. If you think h…

Props to Andrew for a refreshing and optimistic message in what is an increasingly uncertain and scary industry to be in. Appreciate you Andrew!

If the bar is knowing how to type a question into a box, I'm confident almost everyone is better off starting with that then reading a "cookbook" that starts with installing python…

Gotta be honest, almost every "how to use AI" resource seems pointless to me. I'm either going to ask the AI how to do it, or if it's about using the AI then we can just bake it in…

This is pretty cool. I could see a future where these kinds of techniques become the norm, and the role of "animator" becomes less about hand drawing animations and more stylistic …

This isn't useful advice for addictive things that have high short term reward and high long term regret though. Especially so when the other party has a strong incentive to keep y…

All word of mouth from former colleagues, friends and family, who gave me a warm intro to people looking to have someone come talk to them. Good luck!!

I don't think irresponsible is the right word, but it has drastically reduced Bun's appeal. All the tools we use have a brand to them, and Bun basically changed their brand overnig…

Ah I hadn't considered the case of querying an API call rather than DB one. That makes perfect sense. Thanks!

I'd guess you're maybe working on more established codebases then? I see this regularly with my clients. I work in sprints and they pay for my time, so they will often deprioritise…
