This post is just AI slop. The details of these contracts aren't disclosed as far as I know.

You need to understand the contracts, the acceleration of demand, how the various inputs into supply scale (energy, chips, data centers) etc to say something sensible about this.


I see variations of this post all over X. Fable doesn't get much usage, since Opus 5 is like 99% as good at a lower price point. And perhaps more importantly also faster.


New JSON is amazing, and SIMD will be big for json, audio/video etc.


Every release CPU load becomes a bit lower. Love it :)


Keeping priorities right!


It's fascinating how well the system recovers. If it works, companies that do remote work will outperform those that don't. And the reverse. If many companies all opt-in to remote work and output declines inflation will correct that.


"Startup, parenting, hobbies, friends. I think you can do 2 of these well. But you'll have to quite light on the others."

Someone on X, don't recall who, but it resonated.


For “parenting” and “startup”, I would say that each is extremely hard to do well even when it’s the only thing on the list.


Parenting is easy. Kids don't need the fussy obsessiveness that has become characteristic of modern parneting.


Uh, I think at the very least you have to caveat on the age of the kids. Babies need a lot of fussy obsessiveness. Kids arms aren’t long enough for them to wipe their own ass until they’re about 4. Don’t know when you get them to start doing laundry or dishes but that takes longer still.


Watching my kid grow up I realise that despite the modern world having/wanting so many kids we really don't build affordances for them.

Most kids 5-8 at the family dinner table are trying to eat from a plate at shoulder height. No wonder they don't care about cutlery use. It's pretty hard to put downwards force on a knife that is at shoulder height, let alone coordinate all the minor muscle movements required.

The bathroom sink in most houses, similar height, and they struggle to reach taps and soap.

Little stools abound around the home!

But then you go out and public toilets have hand driers right next to their head. No surprise they complain it is too damn loud!

In a world where we supposedly want kids, if for no other reason than to keep society going, we sure don't make it easy for them.


Parenting is work, but it's straightforward. People obsess and fuss over the kids.


Why not having a hobby that includes friends? Playing in a band, singing in a choir, hiking, learning a language in evening school, going to the pub, just to name some of the possibilities. There are a lot more.


It shouldn't be hard though. For me personally, I'm mostly friends with other dads with kids and I do my hobbies (music, rock climbing, skiing) with my kids. It's not that difficult.


This. Involve your kids in your hobbies. If they aren't interested, that's okay too -- you can be involved in theirs. Some hobbies have a finite life anyway. You aren't going to be a gymnast forever, for example, and that's okay.


Some good data on this topic: https://ourworldindata.org/co2-emissions


Dutch living in Colorado. You can spin stats any way you like. But if you look at the last few waves of companies. Machines for making chips, manufacturing chips, designing chips, search, social, mobile, AI.

If this was a soccer match the score would be 10-1 (yee ASML). Not only that the winners in these industries tend to compound and grow.

There are many great things about the EU, that are outside of this competitive ecosystem. But I don't think sticking our heads in the sand is really a great idea.


> Machines for making chips, manufacturing chips, designing chips, search, social, mobile, AI.

Read the article before trying to refute it. What it says is precisely that the US advantages are restricted to the IT sector that you mention. It is in the remainder of the economy that the EU pulls ahead.


Logical replication solves this. You roll the cluster, downtime is minimal. like 60s maybe.


Logical replication needs a special 'upgrade' use case that will automate most of its pain points away. I understand why DDL does not replicate, and that you may want to replicate to a data warehouse that only needs some columns, etc, but there should be a case just for upgrading that handles all DDL, sequences all existing everything, and just works...


PgDog, Neki, multigres, awesome to see. And yes this is the main issue with postgres. Well this and not having index hints, looking forward to 19


Don't forget the original PgBouncer. Hard to setup, but with the help of AI these days it's easier to configure.


The pg_hint_plan extension isn't in core, yet is pretty competent when you need to override planner.
