Big shout out to the Udvar Hazy Center in Chantilly, Virginia which has both an SR-71 and the Discovery Space Shuttle, as well as a bunch of other really interesting aircraft.
What makes you wonder about that other than the word "Open" in their names?
z.ai is a fairly well known AI lab out of China and their GLM models are probably the most popular outside of Anthropic or OpenAI’s. I don’t think it’s presumptuous for them to not introduce themselves in a post on their own blog, I think you’re just a bit out of the loop here.
The whole video seemed generated to me
I honestly don’t think I could blow through a 20x plan in a day if I was trying. What are you doing that uses so many tokens?
Yet. But it’s built by the guy who created Vitess and cofounded PlanetScale, so while it doesn’t have sharding implemented at the moment I think it would be foolish to discount it. Plus it’s open source.
Multigres is the one that comes to mind
This doesn't even make sense. Postgres is and has been open source since the 90s and AWS has had an existing Postgres offering since approximately always.
They acquired Crunchy Data and now have some of the most prominent Postgres developers working there.
> I'm still waiting for a Postgres provider to just let me mirror data directly to Iceberg, so I can plug in my own stateless query engine.
The issue that each of those providers above has recently adopted Postgres as a secondary product aimed at supporting their main product, an OLAP database or engine, so they don’t want you plugging in your own query engine.
I’d bet you’re likely to see this from a Postgres-specific provider first, like Supabase.
I’d like to second this. Being able to change the color using the dial would be…satisfying.
I’ve built a similar thing against Snowflake, with one added layer: tenant-scoped views with the ID baked in, and an associated tenant-scoped role that
only has read access to its own views.
It also lets you make updates to the underlying table (shared between all tenant views) and then separately update the views. As long as you aren’t making breaking schema changes you can more easily validate the changes before releasing.
> A data warehouse on the other hand is an OLAP database and is optimized to work on columns
A bit of a pedantic nit here: a data warehouse is a usage pattern. It’s not necessarily tied to any specific technology, however it is commonly implemented with OLAP systems like Snowflake, BigQuery, etc. But there’s nothing stopping you from building out your data warehouse in Postgres or MySQL. If you’re stitching together disparate datasets to build a unified model for analytics, you’ve got yourself a data warehouse no matter what system it lives on.
This is how I feel with my Airpods. Just break already!
That’s well beyond what a stock Postgres server would reasonably handle
They always have been diluted. Titles mean vastly different things at almost every company.
I’ll never not watch this when it’s posted
> we built pg_textsearch
Maybe you meant to word this differently and I’m nitpicking, but didn’t TJ Green build this while he was still at Tiger Data?
Unsubscribing from The Economist was one of the most frustrating corporate interactions I've ever had.
Honestly if it was easier to unsubscribe I'd probably have an on and off again subscription, but I'll never subscribe again because I don't want to jump through those hoops to unsubscribe.
I’m sorry but this is just bad financial advice

Makes reading/searching the Postgres mailing lists easier.
I’m polling a Fastmail inbox to nearly instantly receive and ingest messages. Anyone can browse without an account, but registered users can follow threads to be notified of new messages, threads in which your registered email is found are auto-followed, and there are some QOL settings.
Search is pretty naive right now (keyword on subjects) but improved search is the next big thing on my list.
I’ve been working on a site that makes it easier to follow the Postgres mailing lists, which can be a bit of a firehose
https://pginbox.dev
Yet I don’t see Google listed as a sponsor for this year’s pgconf.dev [1], which is the main developer-focused conference in the Postgres community. All the other major players you’d expect to see listed are there. And they aren’t listed as a provider of servers for internal Postgres usage [2]. Perhaps they’re supporting the community in other ways I’m not aware of, but these seems to be some conspicuous areas where other companies are involved and Google isn’t.

Postgres uses Meson+Ninja in their builds. That seems like a pretty big endorsement.
I don't know about OpenAI using a lot of Python, but Astral builds all their tools in Rust and just exposes Python bindings. Codex is all Rust. It feels like a reasonable acquisition from that perspective. They're banking on at least in part on the Astral team being able to integrate with and supercharge Codex.
I have been building this in my free time and it might be relevant to you:
https://github.com/jbonatakis/blackbirdI have the same basic workflow as you outlined, then I feed the docs into blackbird, which generates a structured plan with task and sub tasks. Then you can have it execute tasks in dependency order, with options to pause for review after each task or an automated review when all child task for a given parents are complete.
It’s definitely still got some rough edges but it has been working pretty well for me.
Very much mvp but I just got this all set up:
https://www.pginbox.dev/Downloaded and parsed a bunch of the pgsql-hackers mailing list. Right now it’s just a pretty basic alternative display, but I have some ideas I want to explore around hybrid search and a few other things. The official site for the mailing list has a pretty clean thread display but the search features are basic so I’m trying to see how I can improve on that.
The repo is public too: https://github.com/jbonatakis/pginbox
I’ve mostly built it using blackbird [1] which I also built. It’s pretty neat having a tool you built build you something else.
