We developed a service like this internally at a previous company. It was nice to have a generic "preview" generating service.

A bit into the article I reframed "AI" to mean "bot".

The absolute numbers are awe inspiring, but the paper actually only adjusted the previous best estimate by about an order of magnitude. It's cool to see incremental scientific improvements getting some spotlight!

I have gotten good enough to solve the map every time, but still can't seem to get enough XP to reach level 15...

This was really interesting to me as someone who knows a bit about LLMs, but not a ton.

I've always been curious to buy a headset display when traveling, but was never sure what I would actually use it for. This is pretty cool and might inspire some use case's I hadn't considered.

Doesn't this just mean throwing a gazillion GPUs at the new architecture and defining a new SOTA?

I've run into a similar problem many times at small companies. Effectively rejecting the idea of structure because of slippery-slope arguments. I've had pretty senior folks make comments like "If we require PR reviews on ever

My impression is that the disillusionment with startups has led to m a gradual shift towards small self sufficient software businesses. Some folks that would have previously started a VC backed startup for casual software ideas now just kee

Do desktop apps or anything else really respect this?

I've used Github's built in VSCode for quick one-line PRs or docs cleanup. I'm lazy enough to appreciate the feature even if I would never do deeper work in it.

I would be super interested to know how this stuff scales physically - how much hardware ended up in that cage (maybe in Cloud-equivalent terms), and how much does it cost to run now that it's set up?

I'm having a real crisis trying to decide whether this system should be called a database or not. It's a system for managing data, so obviously it is.. but by that loose interpretation any CRUD webserver would count too.

This type of key editing always makes me nervous. I know how uuids behave. I'm not a security expert, but I'm 99% sure the formatting steps here don't increase the chance of key collisions or security implications significant

I thought the way he referenced the hydraulic pumps compared to electric motors with gear shafts was interesting.

I would assume spacing becomes quite sensitive for this to work well, but cool idea!

In my experience there is a MASSIVE difference in the type of feedback someone gives on code vs a design. A design doc encourages "why" questions to get everyone thinking about the problem space. For example, a design doc comment

I've been thinking something similar for identifying ownership areas within an organization would be cool.

Isn't eventual consistency theoretically trivial...? You just delete the whole document after every transaction. I think it's safe to assume anyone talking about this _means_ the results remain meaningful - which for text/mea

The most surprising part of this article for someone uninitiated like myself is probably that products/algorithms are claiming this automatic reconciliation is consistently possible. Maybe I've spent too much time resolving code m

I got a similar sense, especially the section where they talked about needing to build trust before trying to change things. I do volunteer photography, and feel the same way as this article any time I do a shoot for a small organization th

Once you get to the examples of different types of webpages, the author basically admits React (and SPAs in general) is likely appropriate for a bunch of application types. At that point the argument seems to boil down to "use a CMS an

The current system diagram implies using duckdb's default storage format directly. I wonder how well this would actually work with the proposed zero-ETL design of basically treating this as a live replica. I was under the impression th

What are the use cases for this? I can't imagine designing a database schemas to use this in a typical product. Is it intended for hybrid applications to back up local user data directly with their account info?

I know this article is about Google's culture and the author is a strong developer, but it reminds me of conversations with junior developers at other companies. I've worked with a lot of junior folks that think they should be a &

For how much the standards were referenced, nobody seemed to actually explain the history of the two syntaxes or the reasoning that led to the introduction of a dedicated join statement. If anyone has an article that summarizes the actual h

If pricing is only done by storage limits, egress and query count (but not resource usage) how do you prevent something like a massive cross join with an aggregation from just running for ages on a single query?

Is an 8bit camera an off-the-shelf part? Or do you just mean data streaming in and out in general?
