Why not compete a bit with Supabase its all opensource outside the OAuth integration I'm sure you can code it fast. I love the workflow of coding frontend and just changing the database as I am thinking of what data model i need and then https://docs.postgrest.org/en/v12/ automatically changes the API. (One could also say firebase competition but I highly prefer the postgres oriented supabase strategy)
Some interesting snippets from the article also in-play here:

> above where rents stood prior to the pandemic but below where they peaked amid the region’s red-hot growth

> The region’s population and job growth slowed as apartment building took off.

> San Antonio, Dallas and Plano have also seen declining rents — but they haven’t fallen as fast as in Austin.

> While nearly 17,000 apartments are under construction, according to MRI data, builders have pulled back on new projects amid the glut.

> Austin rents sit about 17% above pre-pandemic levels, Zillow figures show. Nearly half of the Austin-Round Rock region’s renters are “cost-burdened,” according to a report last year published by Harvard University’s Joint Center for Housing Studies — meaning that they spend more than 30% of their income on rent and utilities, leaving less money in their pockets to spend on other essential needs like groceries, clothes and transportation.

This is obviously far better than them not falling at all, but as a place with a big Covid migration boom + crazy pricing market, it will be interesting to see if it turns into a long-term decrease compared to the pre-Covid prices.

Slowed job growth compared to the Covid-migration will likely help keep the prices from ramping back up, but slowed construction as prices already started to dip could counteract that to mean it ends up more like "pre-Covid status quo" than "much more affordable than it used to be."

They built in a boom - which is better than NOT building in a boom like some places have done - but there's a lot more work to be done.

Question is: will being hands-off there be enough, or will there need to be more proactive government intervention to encourage continued building in a more "normal" market?

It would also be interesting to compare the effect of the mentioned YIMBY politicians with policies in other areas of TX where rents have fallen post-Covid. There is a LOT of underutilized land already available around the major cities in the state, it's not like the SF Bay Area. That's where more active intervention might be needed since for the couple decades before Covid developers were happy to build at a rate that let prices still go up quite a lot.
More than other models? I thought that context used a lot of memory on all models.

And I’d hardly call it obscene. You can buy a Mac Studio with 192GB of memory, that should allow you to max out the context window of the 7B model. Probably not going to be very fast though.
Honestly as a long term customer please polish what you have. By that I mean:

- Teams are still the only proper way to segment environments and access control. Yet you charge team member, I am still mad about that because even after 1+ year we need to use multiple teams.

- Metrics are still locked to your platform, I want to use my telemetry provider because you guys dont have alerts, dashboard creation, etc.

- Control over the subnets, we use tailscale to give access to private services right now its all 10.205.X.X and we dont control it

- Allow us to turn off cloudflare. You said during last outage that being reliant on cloudflare was an issue and we are yet 1+ later without progress.

I could go on. I do like the product and simplicity but it is lacking control when you actually outgrow the "get it out the door fast" phase. I am not even sure one could pass an ISO27001 by being on Render.
Of the things you list, IMO, maybe the display configuration should be part of the Wayland protocol.

It might be a better technical design to have the other stuff outside of the display protocol. Just because Xorg implemented something does not mean you have to put it in the Wayland protocol.

Why do devops keep piling abstractions on top of abstractions?

There's the machine. Then the VM. Then the container. Then the orchestrator. Then the controller.
And it's all so complex that you need even more tools to generate the configuration files for the former tools.

I don't want to write a Kubernetes controller. I don't even know why it should exist.

I went on holiday to Vietnam a few years ago. One of our guides told that it was still pretty much impossible to get a government job if one of your relatives had served in the ARVN - even if they had been a conscript. Which seems mad. They also told us a few stories about how corrupt their politicians were.

What is that natural end state? Natural monopolies are exceedingly rare, almost all monopolies are the result of government intervention.

Until we catch up on literally decades of underbuilding housing, real estate in most US cities will be a good investment. The only question is which cities are gooder investments than others and how much money the investor has.
I wish not every Prolog discussion had a top comment about Mercury, Curry, Minikanren, et al; but I think you missed the end of my comment where I recommended SWI over Scryer for most people; I am unashamedly a Markus Triska fanperson but that doesn't mean I do everything he does, or that I subscribe to ISO Purity over all else. It was more that the parent comment claimed a "friction between two people" and I think that's unfair and leaves readers expecting soap opera drama where someone insulted someone's mother; whereas it is a difference of opinion about language compatibility and standards - and once you know that you can decide whether it matters to you and your potential use cases (which, again, it doesn't to me and I think it doesn't to anyone who hasn't touched Prolog before).

I am not aware of any practical applications which have broken, but then I'm not aware of anyone using Prolog for anything, anywhere.

A generalization of this solution: If you're faced with a seemingly intractable socioeconomic problem, nine point eight times out of ten the problem will become less severe with Supply Growth. What's more: the easier-to-predict second-order negative impacts of that Supply Growth also become solved because of the harder-to-predict third-order impacts.

One good example of this might end up being the American energy policy under Trump (with emphasis on the word "might"). Energy costs being high can be well-solved by increasing the supply of energy (drilling, etc). The easy-to-predict second-order negative impact of this is likely to be a harsher global warming curve. But, a harder to predict third-order impact might be increased innovation due to lowered costs of energy, enabling humanity to out-innovate global warming. Again, this is speculation, but that's how this generalization works, nine point eight times out of ten.

With housing: You increase the supply. An easy-to-predict second order impact is: housing values go down because of increased supply. But: A hard-to-predict third order impact is: Because there's more people, more businesses open shop, and that access to services actually raises your property value.
Just thinking out loud, but the problem I see is that even if you define Bitcoin as a scam, it could very well have been created by Satoshi Nakamoto (or the group behind the name) in good faith. The real issue now lies with the responsibility of companies like BlackRock to clearly and transparently identify what they are selling to the public.

It is also different than a casino: "Even if crypto investing is considered gambling, there is a factor not present in traditional casino games: the time variable of holding. Holding roulette chips has no effect on their value, while in crypto markets, prices change in time. By holding crypto assets for a longer duration, investors can potentially benefit from market fluctuations and price appreciation, making it a unique aspect compared to classic gambling games." [1].

I'd have loved to, but because of its nature as a live game show with cash prizes, it required that the user signs up with their phone number, as a way to make botting and multi-account a bit harder. I know that wouldn't go over well with the audience here.

The game is no more, but maybe I could put together a little post talking about the more interesting problems I had to tackle, and showing the animations I am the most proud of. Maybe some day!
Interesting, but doesn't really overlap with Glide docking at all.
that's the mindset that I'm trying to challenge. "new" depends on your perspective while you are enjoying the content. The second and third watch you can appreciate different aspects: scenes that were missed, subtleties in the performance or the writing, set design.

Learning how to continue appreciate things that you've already experienced gives you the power over the experience. You don't have to depend on an a constant influx of "new" content.

I've seen Interstellar, Matrix, Gladiator, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings 20+ times. They are even more moving now when I watch them because I can see how I've changed and related to the movies in a new way.

I feel like housing density is one of those subjects where I will get called a capitalist bootlicker or an Orwellian communist for suggesting that we should let the private market build more dense housing if there’s market demand for it. I don’t know how the “deregulate density” position can be simultaneously a far right and far left position, but here we are in 2025.

I’ve heard rumbling about native context length. I don’t know too much about it, but is this natively 1M context length?

So even models like llama3 8b say they have a larger context, but they really don’t in practice. I have a hard time getting past 8k on 16gb vram (you can definitely set the context length higher, but the quality and speed degradation is obvious).

I’m curious how people are doing this on modest hardware.

Musk performing fascist salutes at a political rally is an interesting new phenomenon: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/jan/20/trump-elo...

Like it or not, this is what's happening to the tech industry. So much of the tech sector is now precisely about politics and power.

You can't run away from it. You can't ignore it. And, if you're in the tech industry, you're responsible for it.

I don't think you're disagreeing with OP. Seems like you both reached the same conclusion through different means and said it differently:

"Sometimes it is better to make the database do something, sometimes it isn't. When that is true is context and situation dependent."

"if it can be reasonably done in the database, it should be done by the database”"

In other words, sometimes it's reasonably better to make the database do something, and sometimes it's unreasonable. Context dependent, of course.
A house produces value; you can either rent it out, or live in it (thus avoiding paying rent to someone else). Stocks produce value; the companies make money (and generally either pay dividends, buy back stock, which is just a tax dodge approach to paying dividends, or invest in growth, and will thus eventually be in a position to pay more dividends). Bonds produce value; they are literally loans which (hopefully) get paid back. All of this allows a value to be assigned to them; that value may be greater or less depending on market conditions, demand, future value of money, etc (for instance, if your house is in the middle of nowhere and, by the time you’re done with it, needs a new roof and windows and so on, then its market value may actually approach zero). Things like bitcoin are different in that they do not produce value. You can’t value bitcoin based on X years of expected dividends/quasi-dividends or anything; any value is purely speculative.

To be clear, there’s speculation involved in buying stocks, too, to an extent (particularly buying _individual_ stocks), but ultimately you have a share of some real thing. That is not the case with bitcoin.
Cool, thanks.

Some of the options, for example, ReelGood, I personally use all the time, but I’m not sure how common that is for others.

I’m sure there are searches (maybe things like arxiv, Google Translate, Google Scholar, Spotify, etc.) that other people use more often. I initially opted to keep things tidy (and "'simple'") vs comprehensive, but I will add those and others if anyone wants them!
The camera, mouse, and monitor all stayed the same for the tests, but there was a significant difference in latency. Out of the 16 times the experiment was run, only once did Wayland have lower latency. It would be an amazing coincidence if the monitor, mouse, and/or camera were the reason for this.

Figuring out why there's increased latency is a job for software tooling, but I think this guy's experiment is one of the best ways to measure what users care about: The time it takes for an input (such as mouse movement) to result in a change (such as cursor movement).

Note that this doesn't mean that the Wayland protocol itself is the reason for the higher latency. It may be Gnome's implementation (testing with a wlroots compositor might shed light on this). It may be differences in default configuration options. It may be that Wayland and X11 start up different services, and the Wayland helper processes increase load on the machine. But I seriously doubt the reason for the difference in latency was because the same hardware was used throughout the experiment.

It is likely to match on the typical command line pattern of redirecting stdout.

The way I see it; If/when it does so, a non-reasoning model can't (as easily) detect that this is an error, turn back, and go back down another path.

The modified prompt improves the odds somewhat by making it easier to detect a problem early on and change course, but it's not a 100% guarantee.
> With AI, the insights (or "insights") depend on what questions you ask, and what you know to push back on. We all have access to the same IDEs, but we don't write the same code.

This is also true if you don't have "AI" but are simply reading sources yourself.

Is AI going to help you realize you need to push back on something you wouldn't have pushed back on without it?

I am seeing this on the OpenStreetMap forums, which are an international affair, and it really annoys me. We get well-meaning mappers who join a thread in a language not their own (in case something is discussed within a national community) using LLM-translated posts.

For Dutch, this is extremely annoying¹. It's not that you can't translate to and from Dutch, it's that you will not pick up the nuances in the text written by people with a decent proficiency in Dutch (like the way written and spoken Dutch can be really rather direct, which can translate to quite impolite English, and really improper German), and technical and domain-specific content (e.g., traffic regulations) gets butchered.

I much rather see someone responding to a Dutch thread do so in English if they can't write Dutch, because then at least I can see if the translation from Dutch is going wrong somewhere, instead of having to figure out why that person isn't making sense by going through two passes of an LLM… Been there, done that. Besides, if I'm replying I can do so in English too, and avoid having LLMs mangle my words.

So yes, I too abhor having to deal with any form of communication where an LLM sits between the other person and myself. I find it exceedingly rude.

1: For other languages too, but as a native Dutch speaker this one is easy for me to see.
Exceptions to the rule (some unicorns, a crude measure for tech needs) do not break the rule. If anything, the trend is shifting back to self-hosting instead of running on any vendor.

I don’t want Kubernetes period. Best decision we’ve made at work is to migrate away from k8s and onto AWS ECS. I just want to deploy containers! DevOps went from something you did when standing up or deploying an application, to an industry-wide jobs program. It’s the TSA of the software world.

I can't believe that he might be successful, too, the USA is at some sort of crossroads where if we're not careful the most important freedoms that we have, those we can use to fight un-democratic trash, will vanish.
A lot of apps never grow to that size, and can run on services like render or heroku forever, saving millions of dollars in devops cost (the most expensive part of devops is the devops engineer).
