I call this the bluebox problem. Back when I worked for SAP there used to be this control called the bluebox control that embedded a browser (shdocvw) into a C++/MFC app. Almost every single annoying UI bug came from that control. I se

My guess is that it is a massive model similar to GPT 4.5 and $10/$50 pricing is for its output will discourage people from using it. I also read safety = nerfed.

This is really cool. PG has zlib compression on TOAST objects so this should still be okay even if you are not storing pack files. I am curious with your choice of hand-rolling pktline, upload-pack and receive pack implementations including

Exactly this! Classic open source bait and switch.

Recently the v8 rust library changed it from mutable handle scopes to pinned scopes. A fairly simple change that I even put in my CLAUDE.md file. But it still generates methods with HandleScope's and then says... oh I have a different

The 5ms write latency and 1ms write latency sounds like they are using S3 to store and retrieve data with some local cache. My guess is a S3 based block storage exposed as a network block device. S3 supports compare-and-swap operations (Put

I think you can get much farther with dedicated servers. I run a couple of nodes on Hetzner. The performance you get from a dedicated machine even if it is a 3 year old machine that you can get on server auction is absolutely bonkers and ca

I don't think models are fundamentally getting better. What is happening is that we are increasing the training set, so when users use it, they are essentially testing on the training set and find that it fits their data and expectatio

You can use libkrun to pretty much do the same thing.

Why is this not the top comment? FAIR published their C3MLeon paper about decoder-only autoregressive models that work with both text and image tokens. I believe GPT-4o's vocabulary has room for both image and audio tokens. For audio t

I am curious about models like encodec or soundstream. They are essentially meant to be codecs informed by the music they are meant to compress to achieve insane compression ratios. The decompression process is indeed generative since a par

I tend to use foreign keys everywhere. The only time that I would skip it is when I do not need to cascade deletes. These are mostly metadata tables that will be archived on a periodical basis.

This is awesome. Brings back so many memories as a kid. Thank you. This is built with phaser. I am not very good at this game but if you need to recover life mid game, you can use this. Phaser.GAMES[0].state.getCurrentState().ui.player.addL

We built an entire system using RLS and functions. Postgraphile is frankly amazing. You can also extend the schema using Typescript or SQL.

This. It took me a long time to understand this. I was so focused on the volatility that I failed to look at the larger trend. It clicked for me only a couple of months back.

Here is what I'd do. * Pick a tech stack and get really good at it. You can do it at your company's time and equipment as it is gaining knowledge. * Give yourself 6 months to blog and contribute to open source on your own laptop.

I think we should break the monopoly of app store and play store. Platforms should enable other stores to play well along with their stores. It is ridiculous at this day and age to go through a process like app store / play store appro
