It was fun to read and insightful for me, not too artificial, and not too verbose. I'm glad my internal AI detector doesn't win over my curiosity to learn.

It will certainly allow you to automate tons of stuff, such as data movement between those various sources, data transformations (ETL/ELT) and even simple data conversions - such as from CSV to Parquet, or from ORC to JSON etc. etc. Ha

DuckDB, for those who don't know it, has a great extension system, for example it can directly use OLTP databases such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, SQL Server; cloud data warehouses/data lakes and big data formats (Iceberg, Delta

You can bring anything to its knees when requesting too much data at once. There's always another bottleneck. Getting all data in a single request is an antipattern to me. Fetching a lot of data unless absolutely necessary with no othe

I think this is why Google hesitated to publish their internal model which was ready long before mindless OpenAI idiots released their first ChatGPT in November 2022. https://research.google/blog/towards-a-conversationa

It's nice when you're absolutely sure you won't need schema evolution. Then go for it. If you have a tiny bit of doubt, use a binary alternative that supports it, which for me is Protobuf. You'll get gRPC support for fre

In the coming years many in-house models will be of similar capabilities, and they may not have the guardrails and security measures the big companies implement. If they find a way to escape their sandbox, discover weaknesses in remote syst

Have you ever contemplated the true performance of SQLite? Expensify reached 4M point database queries per second, and an artificial (more like parser-testing, not database-touching) 160M qps. If your backend is on a single machine of predi

Paying a huge price during compression. I think the compression speed is yet to be vastly improved, for example there are no arch-specific implementations, like they did with decompression.

The 2 a.m. prompting bogs down to FOMO of not being fast enough with ideas, and that some other people will implement it faster and one won't make the share of money they envisioned. I certainly don't have this problem. Even with
