I've used MacPorts on macOS versions that don't support the latest OS, which per homebrew policy seems to be versions upto N-2. Apart from the issue of having to compile the downloaded software leading to spinning fans, I'm n

This is a marketing exercise, nothing more. The thing that gives it all away is that they claim that the IP addresses are from Azure, and then proceeded to redact the IP addresses, as if they belong to individual users. It's laughable.

Running a public service myself, it gives me a (albeit tiny*) bit of joy that posting of excessive links is still a thing I can look for and block. * Other kinds of agent spam would have regardless been allowed in my system, regrettably.

I regret to say that this is well polished slop, but ultimately slop at the end of the day. It seems that the user wanted to say something like "DeltaDB is a DAG" and then replaced the DAG part with some obscure graph-based projec

Is there a more technical source that tells what is being done? I assume it's about reasoning in latent space e.g. the coconut paper[1]? I disagree with the "experts" there, as if latent-space reasoning will only cause proper

They should really call it "data-structures as a service" rather than a database, really. Programming against it always reminds me of Leetcode problems, having to define your columns in a way to suit the very specific lookup patte
