As an old ex-vmware eng it's kinda sad reading all these articles about broadcom's controlled descent into terrain. A lot of really cool and useful engineering was done in vmware's heyday, and it was often delivered in rather

Well, the headline was great. I'd love to read a non-slop version of this article, if anyone were ever to write one.

> New nullable columns are kryptonite to large Corrosion tables: cr-sqlite needs to backfill values for every row in the table Is this a typo? Why does it backfill values for a nullable column?

This is a great point! But there's an important tradeoff here about human engineering time versus the "learning in the open" benefits; a PR discarded privately consumes no human engineering time, a fact that the humans involv

This leaves me with more questions than answers, how did these three companies come up with the idea of using that logo? Did they just independently arrive at same design (seems unlikely)? And how did the trademark registration process go f

Well, it may be legal to create such a painting, but (depending on details) it may be a derivative work, in which case the original work's copyright still applies. In other words, in your example, the painter is not necessarily free

Great question. I tried it and I got `elephantmouse`. I was surprised by this, but FWIW I've never encountered this edge case in actual usage.

Nice app! How did you source the sounds? Are there permissively licensed tabla and santoor samples somewhere?

People here testing out the example on this page and reporting errors seem to be missing the fact that this demo is "trained" on one example. The linked paper[0] goes into error rates, and they get better pretty quickly with a f

Yes, and rather nicely done I think. The tagline in the footer is "Give ChatGPT root in prod. What could possibly go wrong?"

Hey, I like SQLite and I also like fly.io, but "distributed DB built with sqlite as storage" is really a very different beast from just "sqlite".
