It's astonishing to me that people do not see the correlation between AI and as you call it "bureaucratic collective action". I have considered corporations, nation states, etc as forms of artificial intelligence that long pr

I think seeing the prompt that makes it even worse for me. that prompt could have been caught by even a regex on the user input for "secret" would have been a good first layer. TBH, this product would be better served as an LLM th

You're right, that is the hard part of LLMs and why LLMs aren't catching on broadly as a UI alternative beyond tech demos. Probably the only true alternative is to limit user input to something structured and verified. Until LLMs

A %0.05 failure rate on something that is supposed to be protecting secrets is pretty terrible. That is just protecting a super basic phrase. That should be the easiest to detect. How on earth do you ethically sell this product to not give

Isn't that almost the opposite? In a Co-op you put up your own money to buy into a co-op. This is the opposite of VC where an external party joins your org with money. So a co-op model would only help to serve the already wealthy. Howe

Also the flip side that a lot of people miss: You can be right about the big picture/abstraction and wrong about a specific. Just because you argued or proved part of an argument wrong doesn't make the whole thing wrong.

I find that extroverts try to get in "slam dunks" that attempt to shake your logic with zingy type of folk knowledge. "Well nobody knows nothing anyways" etc. Or they will confidently repeat what they hear on the news wi

Actually deleting happens rather rarely compared to adding. Its much easier to trace and debug what teams are using GQL fields than REST. What if one team is piggy backing on another teams exising rest endpoint and you dont know? same probl

by hansonkd 2y ago
The point is GQL is currently the standard for querying dynamic nested data shapes not that it is the first or was the first. Look at OData download stats on Pypi it had 2 downlaods the last day. Graphql-core for python? 624,201. that is no

What? Its a method per collection you want to return. or else it is a type annotation. Exactly as complex as FastAPI or any other typed system.

by hansonkd 2y ago
GQL you would only care about if someone removed a field not if someone added a field. How would adding a field change existing GQL calls return? Doesn't make sense. Also, Its about 1 line to set up CI to extract all GQL queries from a

by hansonkd 2y ago
Because exposing your Database to the outside world is asinine. GQL sits between letting the frontend query semi-customizable queries and not having any customizability to select related resources.

by hansonkd 2y ago
The Language Libs like Strawberry implement what he is describing by intermediate application code. It doesn't map directly to a database. GQL implementations don't map to the database but to application code.

> pile into the definitions That is how REST works but is the opposite of the way GQL works. You don't pile into existing defintions but extend the current definitions out. A team needing new data doesn't affect the consumptio

by hansonkd 2y ago
? why do you need a REST endpoint with GraphQL? Nearly every language has a GraphQL engine that integrated directly with the database and exposed functions as GQL directly without REST at all.

Typically libraries use a Dataloader + ORM to implement this which gets you pretty far, outside of that some libs like Strawberry with automatically optimize your queries for you if you return Django ORM Querysets. Any query you were going

Every GQL implementation I have seen explicitly has a way to avoid n+1 queries.
