The guy behind Zuban should've put his project out the in open way earlier. I'd love to see both projects succeed, but in reality it should become one.

Why have "light" or "low" thinking then? I've mentioned this before in other places, but there should only be "none," "standard," "extended," and maybe "heavy."

Extended and heavy are about raising the floor (~25% and ~45% or some other ratio respectively) not determining the ceiling.

Is Adaptive Reasoning gone from GPT-5.2? It was a big part of the release of 5.1 and Codex-Max. Really felt like the future.

Which model do you have?
Is the need for Oriole negated by using a system that separates storage from compute like Neon, Xata?
How does this compare to Supabase/Supavisor?
Could you provide some links to relevant work/research on using a "scratchpad" that you liked?
How does it compare to SurrealDB and ChromaDB?
Re:OpenAI's First Fear on Sunday February 09, 2025 @04:53PM (#42994449)
I recently wrote an article exploring how OpenAI's fear of public perception has shaped their decisions and branding. It breaks down OpenAI’s actions, especially on May 13, 2024, and how their naming decisions and hesitation reveal a deeper fear of public perception. It's not just a critique, but a lesson for all of us—to be bold and overcome fear.

I would love to see a comparison of the major PostgresQL services such as Citus, EDB, Crunchy, Neon, and some OSS distributions/packages

Ok, all caught up now. Great work and best of luck!

When it comes to the business model: it seems an acqui-hire by Supabase/Neon/etc would be the best bet. It insures the team's focus is on the core product instead of the litany of things to figure out when creating a pg hosting service (payments, downtime, upgrades, customer support, ...) in this highly competitive and demanding market.

Re:Pg_bm25: Elastic-Quality Full Text Search Inside Postgres on Sunday October 08, 2023 @03:13PM (#37813523)
Seems really really cool. Is this a full DB, as in they have to take PG source, put in tantivy and their sauce, compile, and distribute? Or is this an extension? If it's the latter, what's the point of putting DB at the end of the name?
where can I find this statistics?
