OrangeDelonge··on Google value plunges by $500B as AI fears rattle Wall Street
Maybe “the semantic web” will be making a comeback https://www.w3.org/RDF/
OrangeDelonge··on We won't "just hang out"
I feel (and not saying it to upset people) that this perfectly describes playing time-sink MMOs like WoW or Runescape.
OrangeDelonge··on Microsoft offers mass buyouts for roughly a quarter of its workforce
Is 2 weeks per year really that generous.
OrangeDelonge··on Microsoft offers mass buyouts for roughly a quarter of its workforce
Or Jane Street

I dont know which Big Tech you work at but at “my” Big Tech we are working crazy hours. And thats with very heavy use of AI.
OrangeDelonge··on There isn't an easy exploit for this PHP vulnerability
I think thats said tongue in cheek.
OrangeDelonge··on "I'm on a war footing": Terry Tao and the crisis in math
Or is it possible they have entire teams dedicated to this effort? Building an internal “math platform”.
OrangeDelonge··on JDK 28
We develop back-end infra related to data streaming (think Kafka). Our main processing engines are written in Java. The control plane uses Lambdas, we are moving those to rust now.
OrangeDelonge··on JDK 28
We use it at scale in different systems. We are moving away from it in our serverless functions due to the cold start times. Other, less latency sensitive services are OK.
OrangeDelonge··on Leaving Tech
I dont know your situation, but applying to 3 jobs a day on avg is not that much. When I was trying to find a job my avg was closer to 30
OrangeDelonge··on We want you to build the next Git platform on Cloudflare
> Cloudfare gets so much action here

Cloudfare buys a lot of posts here*

OrangeDelonge··on GPT 6.1 Sol: Near-Astra intelligence for a fifth of the price
Oh thats funny, I previously thought Luna > Terra because I assumed the order was “further away from earth = better”. I guess that speaks for itself.
OrangeDelonge··on GPT 6.1 Sol: Near-Astra intelligence for a fifth of the price
And you can’t use deepseek with a loop approach for creating such PoCs?
OrangeDelonge··on Does Reddit have an astroturfing problem? What the data suggests
I found the article very hard to read. I have never used Opus 5 so not even negatively biased.
OrangeDelonge··on S3 Is the Future, S3 Is the Past
I guess inflation is the price reduction we get. 23 cents in 2016 is 32 cents in 2026
OrangeDelonge··on Special Projects (2016)
Agreed, Quantum Computing is a nice example of this.
OrangeDelonge··on Claude Opus 5.5
I for one welcome our AI overlords.
OrangeDelonge··on How did Apple Silicon get 50% faster in three years? – Daniel Lemire's blog
That depends on the application. Maybe I have 1TB of json files in S3 and I want to compute an aggregate value from one of its fields.
OrangeDelonge··on MiMo v2.6
If the SOTA models are consistently twice as smart as the Open Source then I agree with you. But the gap seems to be closing rapidly.
OrangeDelonge··on How did Apple Silicon get 50% faster in three years? – Daniel Lemire's blog
Parsing large JSON can supposedly be much accelerated by SIMD
OrangeDelonge··on AWS says it can't restore some data from mideast facilities struck by Iran
Did they say its S3 data? Could also be single-az EBS or RDS.
OrangeDelonge··on Neki – Sharded Postgres
What do you mean? Your comment reads like PlanetScale uses Aurora under the hood, you mean PlanetScale can handle bigger DB’s than Aurora?
OrangeDelonge··on Stripe said to abandon $50B pursuit of PayPal
Are you in Germany by chance?
OrangeDelonge··on Anthropic's best AI model struggles to attract users as cheaper tools thrive
Did it take 18 hours because Fable is comically slow?
OrangeDelonge··on Early Humans Likely Ate Carbs and Sugary Foods
Does this mean you are a human??
OrangeDelonge··on Managing AI Coding Costs at Scale
Do you think Anthropic or OpenAI will eventually try to crack down on routing harnasses? Provide a more vertically integrated experience? They are already trying ro ship hardware products.
OrangeDelonge··on The iPhone Upgrade Program is being replaced by Apple Upgrade
Makes sense they discontinued it given that the last 5 iphones have been almost exactly the same
OrangeDelonge··on The startup's Postgres survival guide
I think we live in very different realities, 6k a year is nothing, its a weeks worth of pay for 1 SWE. A 6k a year savings opportunity is not on any funded startups radar.

And RDS is doing a lot more for you than what you can set up in an afternoon w.r.t observability and features that are just a click away. I actually implemented some of those features when I worked there :)

OrangeDelonge··on The startup's Postgres survival guide
RDS gets you easy integration with the rest of the AWS services, which as a startup, you’re probably using quite a few of.

Also, if you are nickel and diming over expenses in the 50€ range, you’re probably at the wrong startup.

OrangeDelonge··on Who's afraid of Chinese models?
People who claim that Postgres has some type of manifest advantage don't realize that Oracle has a huge advantage as well…etc
