This is very exciting. Now we just need this for Postgres as well.

This is very exciting. It enables a cross platform, language agnostic plugin system, especially for agents, while being safe in a VM.

Better auth is by far the best option out there. We've adopted it and couldn't be happier not having to manage 2 sources of truth.

Congrats on the launch! Does it support ordinary db migrations with the normal Postgres interface?

expand.ai (YC S24) | https://www.expand.ai | Backend, ML | Onsite in San Francisco

At expand.ai, we turn the internet into a database. We are doing bleeding edge web agent research.

We're hiring a founding engineer.

We care less about your particular background, be it AI, ML, backend, full-stack... What we care about is that you're passionate about programming. We are solving technically very hard problems. See more in the role description.

Given that I'm a solo founder, we can afford giving you a bit more equity than most startups ;)

timsuchanek — Tue, 03 Sep 2024 06:42:40 +0000

This is also how we started a while ago. I agree that it's too expensive, hence we're working on making this scalable and cheaper now! We'll soon launch, but here we go! https://expand.ai

Great to see e2e openness. One of the only true OSS models out there, vs most of the models releasing the binaries (weights). Surprised that they didn’t mention Mistral 7b in the comparisons.

New comment by timsuchanek in "Readyset: A MySQL and Postgres wire-compatible caching layer"

timsuchanek — Wed, 21 Feb 2024 12:47:16 +0000

This is one of the deepest deep tech startups I've seen in a long time. I had the pleasure to meet some of the folks at RustConf in Portland.

Readyset is basically reimplementing a full database, at the absolute bleeding edge of db research, enabling global partial replication of any kind of data.

A solution desperately needed, as databases grow.

You can think of it as an intelligent LRU cache in front of your database. An important step towards fast globally distributed applications.

I hope this project will get more publicity and adoption - it's very well deserved.

New comment by timsuchanek in "Pkl, a Programming Language for Configuration"

timsuchanek — Sun, 04 Feb 2024 00:00:03 +0000

I like the syntactic sugar of directly validating types through modules. However, configuration at some point always converges towards Turing completness. I’m biased but imo nothing beats TypeScript and schema validation tooling like Effect.Schema or Zod. Yes it’s more code to write but you’re not locked in and can adopt the system as needed.
