Sometimes easy performance trick is to split the CTE to separate queries, put the results to unlogged temporary tables and add whatever indexes the next step needs.

Obviously makes only sense for stuff like analytical queries that are not running constantly.

Somebody took a deeper look at Claude Code and claims to find evidence of Anthropic's PaaS offering [1]. There's certainly money to be made by offering a nice platform where "citizen developers" can push their code.

From Astral the (fast) linter and type checker are pretty useful companions for agentic development.

A good solution for memory would help with stickiness. But it's a hard thing to crack.

Both Anthropic and OpenAI are working hard to move away from being "just" the LLM provider on the background.

Facebook is lacking access to the interesting data. If you are in the Google ecosystem then your private and business life is likely already there.

Kagi is using Google search behind the scenes. I think that’s why it felt so easy to switch to.

Would be quite handy for gesture control. When wearing thick gloves you need to take them off to operate the current AirPods.

The pros have Find My -support and you can even ping the earbuds separately via the app.

Also the new model can regonize when you fall a sleep and stop the media. I think it works, but I'm not sure how quickly it detects the sleep.

Now that we have seen this can be done, the next question is how much effort it takes to improve it 1%. And then the next 1%. Can we make consistent improvements without spending more and more compute on each step.

The article they are referring to is 404, but based on the URL was published bit more than year ago. That's quite long time in a field that is evolving so rapidly and which even the pioneers are still figuring out.

I think the killer is when the platform handles the transaction all the way. Instead of charging per click, platform can then take a cut of the sale.

Depends on if you are stuck with the subscription for life, or if there's actually a reasonable way to unsubscribe.

Agents are not yet very good at figuring out how things look on the screen.

Or at least in my experience this is where they need most human guidance. They can take screenshots and study those, but I’m not sure how well they can spot when things are a bit off.

Just docker compose and spin up 10 stacks? Should not be too much for modern laptop. But it would be great if tool like this could manage the ports (allocate unique set for each worktree, add those to .env)

For some cases test-containers [1] is an option as well. I’m using them for integration tests that need Postgres.

Learned once the hard way that it makes sense to use "flock" to prevent overlapping executions of frequently running jobs. Server started to slow down, my monitoring jobs started piling, causing server to slow down even more.

It might be a question of where the seniors put their time: coaching juniors or working with AI tools.
