"people are lending to them" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. e.g. https://prospect.org/2026/08/03/ai-bailout-could-be-baked-in...

the fact fortune magazine is the one ringing the alarm bell here is arguably more useful information than any attempt at a "mathematical proof".

also notable that deno has a very low overhead bindings layer for doing JS->C/C++/Rust/Native interop using v8 fastapi calls where possible.

from what i understand after a quick look at the source is it uses a C ABI to communicate between the WebView/CEF "host" application and the deno runtime which is loaded by the host as a shared library. marshalling of values

i did a quick benchmark on this with a single db connection updating user_version in a tight loop with the wal_hook callback enabled. on my crappy old i5 with the db file on /dev/shm it can do ~150k writes a second with the wal_ho

good point. but ime and as seems to be widely understood writing from multiple connections is a bit of a minefield in SQLite. and afaik it still would be possible to have a hook on all connections you expect to be writing?

SQLite has a wal hook which calls you back every time a transaction is committed to the WAL. https://www.sqlite.org/c3ref/wal_hook.html

"some value" is not the same as "a surprisingly good measure of the quality of the model for other tasks". doublethink does not mean holding two conflicting ideas in your head at once. it means holding two logically inco

how can you say "it ended up being a surprisingly good measure of the quality of the model for other tasks" and also "It should not be treated as a serious benchmark" in the same comment? if it is indeed a good measure o

you probably could have written the low stakes productivity app in a fraction of the time you wasted on this.

what's even more amazing is it took them two weeks to fix what must have been a pretty obvious bug, especially given who they are and what they are selling.

why do you find it surprising? these models have no actual understanding of anything, never mind the physical properties and capabilities of a bicycle.

SQL Server was very good and used in a lot of enterprises. ime the decision between Oracle and SQL Server tended to be down to whether the IT department or company was a "Microsoft Shop" or not. There were a lot of things that cam

that sounds way off. there is a big perf hit to async, but it appears to be roughly 100 nanoseconds overhead per call. when benchmarking you have to ensure your function is not going to be optimized away if it doesn't do anything or in

i played around with this a while back. you can see a demo here. it also lets you pull new WAL segments in and apply them to the current database. never got much time to go any further with it than this. https://just.billywhizz.i

yes. most folks don't seem to understand this. but, you can get something approaching such guarantees if you are able to limit yourself to something as (seemingly) simple as updating a ledger. this approach is used in a lot of places w

i can't see how these numbers can be anywhere near correct (nor the ones above). in JavaScript on an old Core i5 the overhead of a simple ffi call is on the order of 5 nanoseconds. on a recent x64/arm64 cpu it's more like 2 n
