    I'm really happy seeing this project. Not sure if this helps you gain $$$ customers, but stupid thing that turns out very difficult in PG is making this fast: SELECT COUNT(*) FROM …

    You use stability of PostgreSQL to open a pitch. Also most people use PostgreSQL because someone out there was a fan, proponent and champion of Postgres. Otherwise they'd be on MyS…

    I'd help with testing if you helped them add this. I'd be interested in this.

    I really hope your project succeeds so that you can sit, sip delicious coffee with your legs on a high desk, and laugh really loud, like a gorilla, at all the haters from this and …

    There's so much to do in databases, and it's so hard to get right and test is all, I think we'll all have 10x the jobs. The easy stuff will go away, but to e.g.: test the new DB en…

    I mean.. they made it 2 weeks ago. Clearly the time isn't now. Why be so negative immediately.

    Don't give up. Just publish it, if you know your invention is better. Devtool VCs will give you money based on the growth of your GitHub stars, popularity and the size of community…

    If someone did this before with PG, provide links. Practical pragmatic example where I think this project is cool: process vs thread. There were members of the PG core team that wa…

    Congrats for launching this project. I think it's awesome. I did two similar projects, just to learn how to work with LLMs and it felt good--reminded me times debugging code with G…

    There is big appetite for PostgreSQL in business cases. But there's also a lot of problems in PG and people want to solve them. But there's ~10 people in the core of PostgreSQL who…

    Same. Sorry to see so much hate here.

    Author of this project is not that different than you. The only difference is that he is willing to take the risk. If you have an invention and sit on it, nothing will happen.

    His project is cool. Students could use it as an example of porting code. Companies could switch to it, if it works. There are hundreds of reasons why people may want it, so it's a…

    Many people do, yet when I open it from time to time and read through some sections, it can be a lot of fun

    Education is the space that I'm hoping AI with unearth, and games like this could become a common part of the education. I totally see kids playing something similar for hours, lea…

    If we scan patient every 6mo starting from age 18 lets say, you could identify the masses in the patient body and track what stays the same, whats growing etc.

    Comment #48581782

    Other tests should be solved too (fecal/urine/blood). Perhaps we need more R&D in here to accelerate progress. We already have patients trying to track their own health over longer…

    Comment #48581758

    The idea here is to make scans very common and regular, hopefully from early age of the patient. It could be like a blood pressure measurement at CVS.

    All doctors say this, and that sort of drove me away from healthtech. As if there were absolutely no way to take a step in a direction of fixing it. The faster and earlier we start…

    Yup. But it'd be good to get certainty by going to Walmart or CVS or Wholefoods and getting a scan for $30.

    Very cool. Looks very nice. I have a small utility that I made for myself and just added your algo to it: https://github.com/wkoszek/imgstat -- palette looks much better to what I …

    Starship payload: 100,000 kg (100 tons). Looks like they talked about 150 tons and even 250 tons. My understanding is that they can be adding more engines to get more thrust. https…

    This is an amazing idea - whoever came up with it, should get a promotion. I'd not be surprised that if this continues, Bose could be what e.g.: ThinkPad became and will have a ste…

    If anyone wants to add Forgejo to your VM, I made a script that allows you to quickly install server + runner, so you get the full setup: https://wkoszek.github.io/easyforgejo/
