    What kind of ads would you expect to see? "Hey, you're asking a lot of questions about Postgres lately. Have you considered moving to Oracle?"

    The reason you've had more bad results than good is because you haven't fully learned how to use LLMs yet. They are not as simple as they first appear. I think a lot of people thin…

    Is this one of those cases where at one point you had an error in the file and you figured it was down to spaces? You fixed that issue, it still didn't work but from that point you…

    Wow! Is this a new feature? I swear it wasn't there when I looked into it a few years ago. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

    The idea was, move fast and break things - but then pick them up and fix them. Companies realised they didn't really have to fix them properly as the users still stuck around.

    Thank you, I'll look into it. For someone who is used to just working with second hand thinkpads, this stuff gets expensive fast!

    How good are local LLMs at coding these days? Does anyone have any recommendations for how to get this setup? What would the minimum spend be for usable hardware? I am getting bore…

    I'm largely just thinking $HUGE when throwing out that number, but there are plenty of companies that have cloud costs in that range. A quick search brings up Walmart, Meta, Netfli…
