> This is still $150M of pure gravy every single year. The issue is rate of return. They are evidently spending $4.85bn on Xbox per year. The US federal interest rate is 3.5% so if…

Sometimes you get there by accident. You make a thing, it grows or is used in unexpected ways, now suddenly performance matters. Sometimes Python is just the language used in the d…

It's in the first sentence of your quote: "our continued collaboration with Anthropic" Read this as: "we get discounts, rate limit increases, a direct line to responsible product m…

Yep! The industry term is "co-marketing" and its hard to avoid seeing once you spot it.

No, but they go on strike when negotiating their collective contracts, and put terms in the contract that govern how failures like this are investigated and punished.

Does it matter that pen and paper dominate? How much of the business's expenses are overhead?

Sure, llms.txt is a convention for this. Compare https://docs.firetiger.com with https://docs.firetiger.com/llms.txt and https://docs.firetiger.com/llms-full.txt for a realy exampl…

That's a pretty interesting idea! I guess 160+ is sort of doing some of that for us - it compiles to SQL WHERE clauses, right - but generally, we found good results giving it a SQL…

Yes! This works really well from Sonnet 4.5 onwards, in our experience. Sonnet 4.0 was a little rocky - we had to give it tons of documentation - but by now it works without much e…

Author here! I am pretty jazzed about these ideas and happy to dig into more detail than a blog post allows.

"Cheap" how? I have a friend who works on Seattle's bus planning. Removing a stop is a _lot_ of political work. When an elderly person depends on that bus stop being within a block…

I feel like I see an independent low-noise phone project like, every 3 months. Clearly there is some latent demand here. I wonder why the big players (Google, Apple, Samsung, HTC) …

Thanks for the detailed answer! I use DuckDB today to query Iceberg tables. In some particularly gnarly queries (huge DISTINCTs, big sorts, even just selects that touch extremely h…

Very cool. One question that comes up for me is whether pg_lake expects to control the Iceberg metadata, or whether it can be used purely as a read layer. If I make schema updates …

I think I don't understand postgres enough, so forgive this naive question, but what does pushing down to the remote tables mean? Does it allow parallelism? If I query a very large…
