The architecture changes and systems improvements being brought into LLMs is so awesome to see. It really feels like this is now a systems problem where a defined goal is set then systems optimizations are made around the model architecture

What's interesting is that we still read AI's output and that's still the primary interface between a human and the AI. Implicitly that means that writing is important and I think we're already starting to see this with

It's also interesting how Clickhouse / Starrocks can now also act as a query planner and executor on top of non-native formats (ex. Iceberg). I assume the native formats will always be faster / more optimized but the need for

HTAP is here! It seems like these hybrid databases are slowly gaining adoption which is really cool to see. The most interesting part of this is the improvements to transaction handling that it seems they've made in https://

It's very powerful to have ownership over a framework that many developers are familiar and like! It might not be clear just yet what the path to monetization looks like but an easy example would be deeper integrations with the rest of

Astro is my favorite framework for static sites. It's hard to describe but it just "makes sense". You don't need complex build setups and you can get the best of all worlds with great SSG capabilities + can easily expres

It seems like this might be one of the biggest vulnerabilities in recent times... The default react / nextjs configurations being vulnerable to RCE is pretty insane. I think platform level protections from Vercel / Cloudflare are

if it increases topline metrics like watch time it's probably hard for them to justify removing it. a change this big seems like it was probably a/b tested and did move metrics significantly?

pretty interesting how datadog's uptime tracker ( https://updog.ai/ ) says all the sites are fully available. if that's true then it's a sign that Azure's control / data plane separation is doing it&#

always wondered at what scale gossip / SWIM breaks down and you need a hierarchy / partitioning. fly's use of corrosion seems to imply it's good enough for a single region which is pretty surprising because iirc Uber&#x2

in the super public consumer space, search engines / answer engines (like chatgpt) are the big ones. on the other hand it's also led to improvements in many places hidden behind the scenes. for example, vision transformers are muc

I think the conclusion isn't as simple as "foundation model companies will just build the features of all downstream products" because focus and priorities play a big part. If that were the case a simple example is much of so

Cannot +1 this enough! Joining a team you respect and seeing how they operate gives you a really good baseline to work off of and take what you like and modify what you disagreed with. You'd be surprised how many times you can "it

Honestly this is a super respectable culture. I would think many leaders want to build teams with this mindset but find it incredibly difficult for one reason or another

This seems like a similar and more feature complete / polished version of JSON RPC? The part that's most exciting to me is actually the bidirectional calling. Having set this up before via JSON RPC / custom protocol the exper

This metric is typically tracked internally and probably wouldn't be as public because it could indicate how "buggy" a product is. An easy way to measure this is time spent taking incidents from open -> mitigated -> res

This is awesome! It seems to line up with the idea of agentic exploration versus RAG which I think Anthropic leans on the agentic exploration side of. It will be very interesting to see which approach is deemed to "win out" in the

I understand the concerns around a central gatekeeper but I'm confused as to why this specifically is viewed negatively. Don't website owners have to choose to enable cloudflare and to opt-in to this gate that the site owners cont

unfortunately sandboxes also have bugs which allows for RCE. this is typically called a "full chain" because it chains together a series of bugs (initial decoder exploit + sandbox escape exploit) to gain full RCE

I thought the reaction was more so that you can train SOTA models without an extremely large quantity of hyper-expensive GPU clusters? But I would say that the reaction was probably vastly overblown as what Deepseek really showed was there

This is great perspective about how assumptions play out over longer period of time. I think that this risk is much greater for free third party services for critical infrastructure. Someone has to foot the bill somewhere and if there isn
