Was recently explaining to my father how the free AI people interact with is completely different than the AI products we're burning cash with. That instead of hitting some critical mass of transistors we hit a critical mass of parameters which we then loop into themselves for reasoning

Other old sci-fi I've been thinking of is The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch. Where claude is chew-z with its alien intelligence & when you start interacting with some code or writing you start noticing that the writer has steel teeth & feel like "damnit, this is palmer eldritch blogging again"

Years ago I was doing internal login pages for pay day loan insurance saas. Decided to put their logos to avoid mixups. Just googled. One was named Vision, copied logo from https://www.visions.ca figuring they did land on the side. Couple years later I realized my mistake & fixed, nobody else had said anything

__s··on Canada will match US tariffs 'dollar for dollar' as trade talks break down

If only things were zero sum stick-in-bicycle meme decision making would benefit others

__s··on PostgreSQL for Everything

In theory yes, just need s3 fdw

I demonstrated this with ClickHouse: https://github.com/ClickHouse/pg_clickhouse/blob/main/doc/of...

We're working on a chdb based mechanism to copy to/from s3, maybe with fdw on top we can back table in s3

You can try similar things with pg_duckdb & pg_lake

__s··on Judge relying wholly on AI in order is covered by judicial immunity, court rules

__s··on Qwen 3.8 27B

Using it to get real work done:

* https://github.com/HarbourMasters/Shipwright/pull/7047

* https://github.com/HarbourMasters/Shipwright/pull/7070

just need to give it clear direction, guide it about how to properly use hooks / preserve decomp code, rewrite all the comments, go back & redo things when it spits out some ugly hack, ...

but this does save time, especially considering this is working with decomp code where many functions are random hex addresses

I have an adept, it does not. Hold button to scroll while turning

Took about a year for my Kensington slimblade to start double clicking. Many others reporting the same

__s··on NP-overrated

Same with c++ stl unordered_map

__s··on Introducing Toast 1

ime google ai is wrong often enough that I'm still doing that to verify its results

At least validation seems faster than without, but you get what you pay for when it comes to llm intelligence

__s··on NP-overrated

Depends on comparison function. In clickhouse-c for type name lookup it's strcmp so I use generated hash table with no collisions & reusing cityhash function since we have it handy: https://github.com/ClickHouse/clickhouse-c/blob/4bdd89a02438...

Benchmarked an order of magnitude faster than linear scan or binary search. I agree with your general sentiment tho, which is why I measured

__s··on pg_clickhouse v0.10: Subquery pushdown and 1000x faster TPC-H queries

They're not really compatable. Your link already compares pgrust & clickhouse. A comparison would not be by using postgres_fdw from postgres to pgrust

__s··on “Code was never the hard part” is an insult to all programmers

Yes. I've also heard it said "code was never the bottleneck"

__s··on Shopify replaced Redis with MySQL for inventory reservations–and it scaled

__s··on Mario Meets Pareto

It's a fair point that such an environment will be different than playing against other humans

> You probably won't pick a driver sitting on the edge of the frontier because you want some balance between speed and acceleration

for super mario kart speedruns go with bowser/dk: https://www.speedrun.com/smk/runs/zp68nr8m

That seemed to hold up for Mario Kart 8 too going with Bowser at the edge of their pareto frontier, https://www.speedrun.com/mk8

needing acceleration is a skill issue
