Oh, my god. This is a bitter truth. Geez. Never thought about it. Really its kind of true now. It just is a quick change. The mindset shift is critical.

This, is a masterpiece. I learnt everything. Like atleast touched on everything. Loved it. Want to get into it, need to leverage it and play with it. It clicks to me now, the autoscaling, security, the volume bit wow. Everything makes sense after using them and taking them for granted due to cloud run abstraction.

This is cool, i’ve read a lot of these and working at docsumo, makes me want to read about them more.
This is interesting and it comes at the right time
facts are facts, and AI is going to change programming forever
It does not matter if this or the other CEO of some unicorn is telling you something that is off putting, or absurd. Programming changed forever, anyway.
What is the social solution, then? Innovation can’t be taken back after all. I believe we should vote for governments that recognize what is happening, and are willing to support those who will remain jobless. And, the more people get fired, the more political pressure there will be to vote for those who will guarantee a certain degree of protection. But I also look forward to the good AI could bring: new progress in science, that could help lower the suffering of the human condition, which is not always happy.
I walked into the grocery shop the other day and saw a soda can labeled “6-7” and “Brainrot.”

This is really changing. It can write code, better than me. That’s when I started to use it as a partner that knows a lot of things but gets overwhelmed and like a junior does a lot of things. Guiding it, reviewing it, and also understanding myself what it actually does is co critical.

True. LLMs amplify ambguity. If LLMs don’t have agency, they don’t choose constraints. Well put.

Why free software is a surprisingly important component of good futures with powerful AI

Yikes, this looks like a good take on LLMs being free and open weight. If not, the larger AI labs might offer ads into the LLM suggestions. This, just the thought of it makes me wiggle with fear. It might push us in wired directions. The point of drawing a line of “our goal” vs “model’s goal” becomes hazy and it just doesn’t align with human values. Its a pretty hard problem to solve if it goes in a bad direction, which it seems to be at the moment.

The difference of the OLAP and OLTP database is so nice. Also the differnce of column based vs row based database type is clear from this. Makes sense and intuitive as well The Binary tree also makes sense.

It was a great overview of the database systems. I like how he explains the p50, p90, and all metrics. It makes sense without getting into too much of details Also the diagram of the OLAP and OLTP databases and how it fits. It made sense.
