<p>Hey there, I'm going to check out your project because the comments here have me a little worried that OP's project might have some quality issues.<p>Two things I found a little confusing from the docs though:<p>I couldn't easily find a page describing what it <i>can't</i> do yet. I saw that it only works with a "strict, deterministic subset of TypeScript", but is there a page showing what's included and not included in that subset?<p>Also, what's an "ambient surface" in this context? Is that a compiler term I'm just not familiar with?</p>

<p>Yeah that seems off to me too. But I guess they meant that since CockroachDB is compatible with Pg, it would also serve the same prupose?</p>

<p>This is such a refreshing policy. AI code is welcome as long as it's good, but comments have to be human.<p>If someone can't take the time to write their own replies (in their own words), then it feels fair to assume that they didn't take the time to test, review, and clean whatever code they submitted.</p>

<p>Yeah I really agree. There's no overage pricing on their website's main pricing page, which makes me think the jump from "Team" to "Pro" to negotiating an enterprise contract will really hurt. Going from $39/month to $199/moth because you needed slightly more is a really big jump in pricing. It's pretty much the opposite of what I would expect from a service that lets you scale to 0.</p>

<p>Seems like a branding mistake to me. This new device doesn't target the same group of customers that the Flipper Zero did, so it will be much harder for them to market it effectively, since the first device is already famous enough that people know them for that market.</p>

<p>Stupid question: I was under the impression that object storage was super expensive compared to "normal" SSDs if the QPS numbers got high.<p>Is that not the case for DBs based on object storage because they cache data before sending it to the object storage? Or because they do some other processing on the DB server before it hits storage?</p>

<p>Just looked into how this works.

<p>As I said, I agree with you in the case of big outputs. But for small outputs, tool calls can be reliably created from the NL version. There's no need for JSON.</p>

<p>I don't know what <i>they</i> meant by it, and I share your opinion that "AI native" is somewhat meaningless for a programming language like this.<p>Regarding compilation and static typing, it's extremely helpful to be able to detect issues at compile time when doing agentic programming. That way, you don't run into as many problems at runtime, which of course the agent has more difficulty addressing. Unit tests can help bridge the gap somewhat but not entirely.<p>What's <i>not</i> stated on their website is that Mojo is likely a bad choice for agentic programming simply because there isn't much Mojo training data yet.</p>

<p>> A nicely aligned table with ANSI colors is for humans. An agent extracting a post ID needs JSON.<p>Wrong. While table formatting can confuse an LLM in some cases, a natural language output in pure text is almost always better than JSON for small amounts of data. After all, LLMs have more natural language training data than JSON training data.<p>The fallacy that LLMs need machine readable outputs just because they're machines is pervasive and it's a huge misconception about the way these models work.<p>On the other hand, I agree that large amounts of data should be outputted in a machine readable way so that the LLM can run scripts over it for more advanced parsing.</p>

<p>> Yeah, I cannot imagine how anyone could learn anything well with access to AI.<p>You must not have much of an imagination then. Or maybe you're just being overdramatic? AI is arguably the best way to learn most subjects now. Frontier models have made a lot of progress on reducing hallucinations, and AI can teach you at whatever pace you're capable of learning it. There are very few topics it can't teach, and it can go into more depth than you'll find in any textbook.</p>
