This thread is full of people talking confidently about their experience with a model released just hours before. Either that or everyone is indeed talking across each other and talking about different things.

So now you're introducing even more processes, even more latency and complexity, and for what benefit? Eventual consistency on users would make it difficult to do things like "WHERE !user.is_banned" when getting the stories,

You're right, the main decline was AI, but it was on a downward trajectory anyway. This graph shows a distinct change pre-dating AI, starting 2014, there's explosive growth which suddenly stops around then. A soft decline which ca

With WAL, you don't need read replicas, you can have lots of readers and they don't get blocked by writers. As an aside, on replication, eventual consistency is not a panacea: If I make this comment, it's absolutely fine if y

I wouldn't expect that problem to be solved at the database layer, that's what http caches are for, then application level in-memory caches, then finally if neither of those hit, go to the database. For example, one of the biggest

SQLite definitely seems like a poor choice for dealing with many concurrent requests. Maybe it's improved since I last used it, but to my knowledge SQLite essentially forces all writes to be serialised, at risk of data corruption other

$25 is an exaggeration, because that wouldn't even cover lunch for your friends to say thanks for the favour. OK Go blew up early youtube with Here It Goes again: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTAAsCNK7RA . But these

They did. It was the Soviets winning the space race that caused the USA to sink everything into the Apollo mission, to prove they could go bigger. Russia were first to almost every other milestone, first orbit, first man in orbit, first wom

In really grinds my gears that the buying companies take out the debt to take over against the companies themselves. So many well-known UK companies have been sunk by debt interest on loans taken out to acquire said companies. By all means

AI has got better. It read to me to be entirely generated. The lack of details that people would normally mention tripped my spidey-sense. ( Who wouldn't name-check the restaurant in the opening paragraph? ) A double check, the author

It's completely made up, that kind of "wait, that doesn't make sense" is a hallmark of LLM writing. It's got so good at writing generally that it catches us off-guard.

60k is tiny, if it's making recall mistakes that early then you might have some false memories or incorrect instructions in your CLAUDE.md. 60k isn't much bigger than the system prompt.

And that includes London, it lists "excluding London" as £65k. People overestimate how much senior devs in the UK earn, even after knowing they're not well paid, my usual response to hearing we should be earning £90k+ is, &qu

That's a fairly standard wage outside London for senior developers. UK wages are not great.

But it sounds like it's not even a harness issue if they have a process where they send a reset email to an address that isn't associated with the account. This isn't (just) a validation issue, and shouldn't be at the ha

I'm saving this comment, thank you for a great explanation of what it is like. I was in my late 20s when I realised I was "face-blind", but I should have realised a lot earlier, I remember reading in a book as a child about h

The interesting mitigation would be snapping I/O to a course clock. You could then set it to hold the result until the next tick. E.g. An I/O tick of 20ms, and it would only return on 20ms boundaries, then almost every SSD would l

Obviously SQLite is the best choice for a mobile or desktop app, that's not what's being discussed here.

Or you can run postgres on the same machine as the application, which lets you much more easily migrate if the time comes when you need to scale to multiple application servers. There's a world between "local file" and "
