Very cool. I was trying to do something similar (not for march madness brackets), but ran into a problem with chatbots in that they wouldn't follow URLs that weren't provided directly by the user (claude would but only whitelisted

There is a valid both sides argument to a lot of these issues IMO, but where the discussion ought to be is at how extreme “one” side has taken it. Whether it’s executive orders, corruption, pardons, appointments, obstruction, gerrymandering

Wasn’t ICE pretty much doing exactly that with no oversight or accountability?

Under the hood you're still calling into BEAM/OTP but most operations are covered in gleam, at least I've very rarely needed to FFI into Erlang (couple times to extend what a library provides with a custom edge case). gleam&#

For me this is Gleam. Fairly small lang, type safe, compiled, NO NULLS (very important IMO), good FFI, code is readable, and... you get the BEAM! Agents can pretty much iterate on their own. The most important thing for me, at least for now

There are definitely some caveats / tradeoffs with SQLite, but I can't think of any that are specifically related to many to many relationships. Which features did you find missing? Lateral joins maybe?

I actually am moderately concerned with that to be honest. If the US doesn't have free and fair midterms I don't think it's really that paranoid to be worried about it.

Ridiculous take that Florida is expensive like it's some kind of luxury trip. Florida was always a budget option for us. It's always been a quick, easy (you can drive), low risk break to get away from the cold. I just don't f

> "What happens when 1.5B come knocking because if they stay they die?" You think that’s bad... Up here in Canada we’ll have to deal with Murican immigrants as things heat up. Talk about killing the vibe.

IMO the tracking, advertising, and attention market might just be societies biggest problem. Certainly it employs a lot of people, as do cartels.

Yes it become much easier to fail fast and iterate, but also a lot of these fail fast projects are trivial for anyone to implement themselves. Differentiating your project is going to be tougher too. A lot of the moats are gone, but quality

Also people like me who are paying for a 20x Claude Max subscription and am feeling really good about it right now. I'll never even glance at OpenAI Codex or Gemini. Not to mention my divestment of OpenAI. It's just a drop I guess

Probably closer to the Walmart / Amazon model where it's the arbiter of shelf space, and proceed to create their own alternatives (Great Value, Amazon Brand) once they see what features people want from their various SaaS. An obvi

Is there a way to accept but also limit greed that is reliable and durable? Like a pragmatic meritocracy. We accept that there will be cheaters, and we won't catch or stop them all, but we have some hard limits. Do we care if you stop

Yes, but I don't think it's so straightforward. I think there are bad actors marketing this overreach. Like the surveillance industry for the Patriot Act (tech, defence, telcom, maybe compliance vendors?). I don't think their
