Also there are now databases purpose built for specific domains. E.g. if you are building a financial ledger I would way rather be interfacing with TigerBeetle than scaffolding an application-driven ledger around Postgres. https:/&#

Postgres is great, but the level of work required to scale it on large workloads is really quite overwhelming. You really need expert-level knowledge to scale it. Just ask anybody who has had to shard their database.

Similarly it amazes me Amazon Echo and Google Home's voice assistants are still so bad. Why haven't they plopped an LLM on top of these devices yet?!

Pretty wild that humanity would only have four years to respond if when we measure it again in 2028 it's confirmed on track to hit Earth. I doubt humanity could assemble quickly enough to divert it.

There are plenty of issues where there exists a strong majority consensus for a certain course of action that Congress hasn't acted on. The sad fact is that the opinions of what 90% of Americans think have been found to have essentia

Every state to a different degree subsidizes its automobile industry. Living in Australia now with access to Chinese EV's is eyeopening. It's great for the consumer. To the extent you accept EV's as a solution for reducing

The world is more than just China and the United States. That was the point of my original comment. The United States here feels entitled to own and run an app used on every continent of the world. No other country could get away with de

Can you imagine any other country making this demand and it being taken seriously? It is negotiation by means of extortion. Why are American tech companies entitled to the profits of an internationally used app?
