Was this announced beforehand? How do you double prices for customers so abruptly with no transition period?

I'm always skeptical because you can make it pass the benchmarks, then you use it and it is not practically useful unlike an extremely general model.

Cool work though, really excited for the potential of slimming down models.

Show HN: Gcrunner – Run GitHub Actions on Google Cloud VMs

memothon — Wed, 25 Mar 2026 00:13:05 +0000

GitHub Actions is notoriously expensive, especially for larger runners.

This tool deploys into your Google Cloud instance and runs ephemeral VMs for GitHub Actions jobs. That way you can take advantage of much better pricing on Google Cloud (and use any credits you may have instead of paying GitHub out of pocket).

You control the infrastructure completely, you set up a GitHub App + deploy the terraform inside your Google Cloud instance!

New comment by memothon in "If Dspy is so great, why isn't anyone using it?"

memothon — Mon, 23 Mar 2026 15:24:39 +0000

Yeah I agree with this. I will try to use it in earnest on my next project.

That metric is the key piece. I don't know the right way to build an automated metric for a lot of the systems I want to build that will stand the test of time.

New comment by memothon in "If DSPy is so great, why isn't anyone using it?"

memothon — Mon, 23 Mar 2026 15:19:40 +0000

I think the real problem with using DSPy is that many of the problems people are trying to solve with LLMs (agents, chat) don't have an obvious path to evaluate. You have to really think carefully on how to build up a training and evaluation dataset that you can throw to DSPy to get it to optimize.

This takes a ton of upfront work and careful thinking. As soon as you move the goalposts of what you're trying to achieve you also have to update the training and evaluation dataset to cover that new use case.

This can actually get in the way of moving fast. Often teams are not trying to optimize their prompts but even trying to figure out what the set of questions and right answers should be!

New comment by memothon in "Cloudflare crawl endpoint"

memothon — Tue, 10 Mar 2026 23:18:33 +0000

I've used browser rendering at work and it's quite nice. Most solutions in the crawling space are kind of scummy and designed for side-stepping robots.txt and not being a good citizen. A crawl endpoint is a very necessary addition!

memothon — Tue, 10 Mar 2026 03:09:52 +0000

This model is probably really strange to people who haven't spent a ton of time working in something like Clojure.

New comment by memothon in "Turso is an in-process SQL database, compatible with SQLite"

memothon — Fri, 23 Jan 2026 04:33:36 +0000

Turso offers a cloud-hosted sqlite product. The idea is you can easily spin up per-tenant databases and have a "serverless" sqlite interface.

It feels like it has a lot of the same downsides of hosted databases so I'm not sure what the specific value is.

From their site they really emphasize local first syncing (so mobile apps and electron/tauri apps) and multi tenancy (hard database boundaries)

If you implement different local payment providers that you could see higher conversion rates.

Lots of companies have automations with Zapier etc. to upload things like invoices or other documents directly to notion. Or someone gets emailed a document with an exploit and they upload it.

New comment by memothon in "Zero-latency SQLite storage in every Durable Object"

memothon — Mon, 14 Oct 2024 06:38:41 +0000

Those WAL entries streamed to object storage I think are just for backups.

Each DO is globally unique (there's one DO with a given id running anywhere) and runs sqlite on its own local storage in that datacenter.

Maybe just ask the cousin not to send any more money?

Good question, remains to be seen. Will need to see how it plays out!

I don't disagree it is unsustainable, I'm really trying to be more precise about whether anyone is getting value out of the tools. I'm just really skeptical that nobody is getting value.
