Took a while to find on their website but here’s a benchmark vs AWS Aurora: https://planetscale.com/benchmarks/aurora Seems a bit better, but they benchmarked on a kind of small db (500gb db / db.r8g.xlarge)

Lots of non-chatbot uses in property management. Auditing leases vs. payment ledgers. Classifying maintenance work orders. Creating work orders from inspections (photos + text). Scheduling vendors to fix these issues. Etc.

They say "thus, on average, about two-thirds of cats preferred to sleep on the left side of their body with their left shoulder down", and their image for leftward lateral bias shows this. So I guess leftward means "lying on

This seems unusually shallow for the hedgehog review. I thought we'd largely moved on from this sort of sentimental, "I can't get good outputs therefore nobody can" style essay -- not to mention the water use argument! T

Johnson-lindenstrauss lemma [1] for anyone curious. But you can only map to k>8(\ln N)/\varepsilon ^{2}} if you want to preserve distances within a factor of \varepsilon with a JL-transform. This is tight up to a constant factor too

“One could offer so many examples of such categorical prophecies being quickly refuted by experience! In fact, this type of negative prediction is repeated so frequently that one might ask if it is not prompted by the very proximity of the

Or maybe they do believe this, and entered into trades to express this sentiment. Now, they need the market to correct to what (they believe) is accurate, so they can take profits and free up their capital again.

There’s a fun version of this that they have at 7-11 (or 7 & I) there. Probably other convenience stores too. They come in a plastic wrapper that separates the nori from the rice and filling so it doesn’t get soggy. When you pull a litt

As far as I understand, web 1.0 is browser makes a request -> backend delivers some html, with subsequent requests just for css/images/iframes. This also had a characteristic style with layouts made from tables and simple but b

You've made something really cool here. Watching transfixed me in a way similar to a video exhibition I saw at the Tate Modern when I was younger. It was a loop with footage of a JAXA rocket launch, an anti-nuclear protest after the Fu

There’s an interesting approach similar to this called Wave Function Collapse [1] (no relation to wfc in physics besides inspiration). It can infer the probabilistic constraints from one input example, and it seems to generalize quite well.

Just my thought -- perfection is the enemy of good. I've fallen into this before, trying to write the "ultimate" version of some program. Do you use your own web apps today? If you enjoy the work, why not start by focusing pr

I'm working on something similar. In chrome you can request an image of the active tab from a background page, write it to a canvas to downscale it, and then dump it into indexeddb as a blob of base64. This only captures tabs that have
