bushbaba··on The AI Race Just Got Awkward
Actually opposite occurs. Big businesses are ok with a mediocre but cheaper result. Very few are willing to pay such cost. Just look at tech wages and the distributions
bushbaba··on The AI Race Just Got Awkward
And the communal work of humanity is orders of magnitude more work than what anthropic pays for their scraping of content. I got no check from them for my contributions
bushbaba··on ChatGPT Pro 500
Mostly openclaw/muse is my understanding
bushbaba··on Fakecloud: Local AWS cloud emulator for integration tests
Better yet, use dependency injection and use fakes. Makes it very easy to test out logic
bushbaba··on Revealing the details of how OpenAI agents hacked Hugging Face
Less a lack of skill and more a lack of care
bushbaba··on Grok 4.7
Claude models are overly verbose. We’ve been having issues with them adding massive comment strings that re explain the code
bushbaba··on Astra for Law
You can’t 10x the number of lawsuits, as the courts are already at capacity. If frivolous lawsuits become common they’ll just change the laws to require a greater damages for it to be heard.
bushbaba··on Iran school bombing: grounds to believe US was behind atrocity, UN finds
And remember how Iran slaughtered tens of thousands of its own citizens a few weeks prior. And the continual killing of Iranian citizens having differing political options of the regime.

War is never pretty or perfect. Winning a war comes with great cost

bushbaba··on I've operated petabyte-scale ClickHouse clusters for 5 years
Iceberg addresses the hot s3 key prefixes. It places entropy in the prefix path per object so reads/writes are randomized over the bucket key prefix space.

It’s much less of an issue. Also, 99%+ of Aws customers likely don’t have enough QPS to hit the per prefix limits anyway

bushbaba··on I've operated petabyte-scale ClickHouse clusters for 5 years
Most startups can just scale your traditional separation of compute & storage here though. You’d be shocked how well duckdb against s3 scales for 99.9% of use cases
bushbaba··on Shopify is moving from React Native back to Swift and Kotlin
Most enterprises are comprised of a high proportion of shit developers. So you need to work with what you got
bushbaba··on GPT-6 Astra in code review: Gains, privacy, and cost
I have AI confirm the logic works as expected, but review for system design.

Often in both web/backend I’ve found AI to produce overly duplicative code, or have aspects that could be hard to maintain. Generally less due to the AI, and more because of the prompt itself.

That and even if you’re going to AI slop it up, I’d still demand it be broken up into 1-2k LOC chunks or per meaningful “thing”. This also lets us gradually ramp the change to confirm it actually works earlier on

bushbaba··on Norway's Oil Fund Proposes Selling Roughly $80B in U.S. Treasurys
If the U.S. defaults it’s likely the economy would go to shit or see high inflation. Either way your f’d
bushbaba··on Understanding ChatGPT Work
Bureaucracy is a major part of many corporate leader’s roles. That might not be the best sales line
bushbaba··on GitHub Outage Tracker: Is GitHub Cooked?
could have been a page with a static 'Yes' and a significant portion of time it'd be accurate.
bushbaba··on AWS Acquires DuckLabs
It’s faster than trino and spark for 99% of your use cases. Only once the datasets reach the 100GiB to TiB range is trino/spark faster. Compute is scaling vertically faster than Data Eng/Analytics dataset growth, over time DuckDB will be the better choice.
bushbaba··on Sticky wage norms and the real wage cost of unexpected inflation
The more turnover the more leadership wants to keep talent. The more turnover the more hiring leadership needs to keep headcount.

Greater turnover is good for all employees and worse for employers

bushbaba··on Google has acquired the data of failed US airline Spirit
I prior worked at Google, I can say they DO de-anonymize data. You’d be foolish to think some PM within the company wouldn’t use this for malice. L
bushbaba··on Gemini 3.7 Flash
FYI, developers are rarely given such a rich UX mock.
bushbaba··on What happens if an entire class of workers loses faith in their careers
What is the civil war?
bushbaba··on Go is an ideal language for AI-assisted software engineering
Yes but it’s err not error. The variable and method names are meant to be concise and highly readable without the CS fluff of Java naming hell.
bushbaba··on Go is an ideal language for AI-assisted software engineering
Go is heavily opinionated on style, design, and semantics. Its design was around being as concise as possible…which means token efficient.

Yeah Go is my preferred language to code with AI. Second up is type script. Followed by Java, then Python.

bushbaba··on What happens if an entire class of workers loses faith in their careers
I doubt unemployment can even raise to 40% before the government and billionaire class is overthrown.

The French Revolution was not an isolated event

bushbaba··on Changes at Google DeepMind: Demis Hassabis from CEO to Chair, Jeff Dean departs
the processes are a result of repeated lawsuit
bushbaba··on Taylor Farms has rewritten its cyclospora statement four times in sixteen days
It’s not but they should list country of origin for the ingredients
bushbaba··on Jack Dorsey launches Buzz to combine team chat, AI agents and Git hosting
Personally believe Jack has done more harm than good for his companies lately. It's time he resign.
bushbaba··on Who's afraid of Chinese models?
agreed, my F500 company switched off claude code to copilot in 30 days. All 5k+ engineers. That is the fastest migration i've ever witnessed. This includes switching all our agents from Claude SDK to Copilot SDK.
bushbaba··on Claude Code uses Bun written in Rust now
JavaScript is very fast and easy for UI rendering. If it works for web apps it’d also work for the terminal. Sure it’s bloated but it’s fine. The dev velocity of JavaScripts is orders better than rust.
bushbaba··on Kimi K3: Open Frontier Intelligence
Mura Murati was CTO but not the AI lead. Her role was mostly organizational not scientific.
bushbaba··on Vint Cerf, “father of the Internet”, is retiring
He was hired to go to meetings and state “I’m vint cerf, I work at Google” then blab for 2 mins and introduce the actual speaker for a meeting/conference.

Similar ish to an influencer
