Not that I have any skills in stock-picking whatsoever, but couldn't the recent lukewarm performance not also be an argument for BRK?
I mean their cash pile is also invested in money markets (so you get that), and the rest of the portfolio consists of quality companies where their (combined) valuation didn't explode in the last 1,5 years. So it's an opportunity to invest into something that might not be overheated.
Unfortunately service reliability of Scaleway was terrible last time we used them.
What plan do you have? With gpt-5.5 and the business subscription my 5-hour limit was finished after 10 minutes.
Just burned through my 5 hour window in Codex (Business plan) in 10 minutes with GPT-5.5. Was excited to use it, but I guess I have to wait 5 hours now (it's not yet available in the API, so I can't switch there).
We also experienced hitting our Claude limits much earlier than before during the last two weeks. Up to a degree where we were thinking it must be a bug.
Very fun! If you play it on a big monitor, the games slows down for some reason.
I found his take on the space data center a bit negative. No idea if it is feasible right now, but you could have made the same jokes and ridicule about the feasibility of electric cars (batteries too weak!) before Elon build Tesla.
And Patrick just lists some reasons why it is currently hard to do. I'm by no means a Elon fan, but if anyone could pull it of it's him, and attempting these hard challenges is a good thing.
I tried it out and it worked really well for us – awesome tool! The spec-driven approach is a bit different then the usual back-and-forth with agents, and if you invest properly in writing specs it pays of.
From an investors point it's very unattractive to invest in a early-stage startup where half of the shares are in the hands of a person not working there anymore.
About the "as complex as you need": RLS can get slow very quickly for aggregate queries, and is hard to debug (since query planner doesn't work smoothly with RLS).
We have a dashboard that displays aggregated stats for our admin users, and we hit serious performance issues with ~600 users with our first implementation. This repo helped us: https://github.com/GaryAustin1/RLS-Performance
Great, thank you for the reply! The simulation a policy sounds exciting. Looking forward to the news.
Some additional feedback: In my opinion testing RLS is a problem.
Additionally, I find it hard to keep a good overview over the rules. E.g., in a multi-tenant application one needs to secure every table with a restrictive rule, and it's easy to make a rule permissive, since that is the default & it's not indicated in the Studio UI.
When generating migrations with 'supabase db diff' views are being recreated without 'WITH (security_invoker)' even though they had security_invoker turned on before, leaving your database exposed. Easy to miss, even when you're aware of that.
RLS is just so full of footguns that I find it hard to justify using it in a production system.
(But otherwise I love Supabase! Great job.)
Great news! Question to the Supabase team: How does Login with Azure (Social login) and SSO (Azure) differ? From my superficial understanding, implementing Login with Azure is enough for logging-in users with Azure AD accounts (and linking their accounts to existing ones).
Would that not be a huge security risk? You could access the SSO credentials of your users that way.
Great job! What are the implications on resizing regarding storage egress & download size? Can I expect both to be smaller when resizing an image?
Actually, that is perfectly normal in many tax systems, e.g. in Germany. Afaik the tax law doesn't care where the money comes from – it could be from a completely illegal activity, and you still own taxes on gains.
The last point always confuses me. Twitter can show ads to me without me having an account. Instead, they block me from reading on Twitter after a few tweets, thus loosing my eyeballs. Maybe that's compensated by signups, but it certainly didn't work for me.
It is somehow telling that you link to a Twitter post instead to a post on clutter.social.
There is also the serious looking man with a notepad.
He states in the article that he currently does not own any cryptocurrencies.
Has it worked really well? I feel ORMs are a sign it hasn't. Though I really enjoy having learned SQL and being able to interact with almost all relational databases.
Newspapers, fitness studios, mobile providers, railway discount ticket (Bahncard). Can't say for neighborhood stores, I haven't really used a subscription at such a shop.
> "training BERT on GPU is roughly equivalent to a trans-American flight"
This gets cited often, but is a number that doesn't impress me very much. Given the fact that (in theory) a language model like BERT has to be pre-trained only once[1], and these weights then can be reused by anyone to fine-tune the model[2], the number doesn't seem impudently high.
I think its good to examine the environmental impact, but there are so many unnecessary flights every day, that could be substituted by trains, that for me the fact that pre-training a state of the art ML model for the CO2 cost of a flight did not seem very high for me. Or do I overlook something there?
[1] Of course, in reality it's not so easy – there is hyperparameter search, domain adpotion, further experiments, etc.
[2] Also because of the great open source work by Hugging Face.
Well, the boxes sound really nice – good luck with that:)
I didn't, I don't need another app to track me. A deposit is and should be enough to ensure the return of the item.
I think for many people the proposition "you need to download this app to do something for which the app is not needed" is a non-starter, also for tech-savvy people.
Another thing to consider is that I (and I guess many other people) are only willing to download an app while having wifi, since my data volumne in LTE is limited.
I think its certainly worth to download an app to save waste, however, I wouldn't pin peoples reluctance only on convenience. Nowadays it seems you have to download an app for literally everything, and I think many people don't understand why.
I've been in the exact situation as this woman with a place just around the corner: I just didn't get why I had to download an app in order to get the reusable box for my food from them.
