Yeah I'm so confused in the comments, these things suck.
Not to mention it is a painful database to work with... Doc DBs were simple 15+ years ago, but turns out most data is relational and it's just simpler to use postgres.
But imagine Sqlite not supporting joins or window functions... sure they are useful but look how many LOC it adds! Who is the arbiter of what Lite actually means?
DuckDB is so cool, game changer when it comes to local data processing.
Is there a catalog conversion tool?

I believe the opposite."
So people will replace AI?
I'm a fan of the posthog product but agree with the site. I appreciate the retro styling and all but opening all the windows for everything is disorienting and kinda breaks web navigation that we have all gotten used to for the past 30 years.
I feel the same way. I've used superpowers since I found it during the initial Ralph hysteria and love it. Every task I do starts with brainstorming and it always produces great results, even coordinating across multiple repos. Having the plan to read and comment on ahead of time is great, although admittedly maybe that is built in to the major harnesses now and I just don't know about it. Always feel uneasy kicking off a task without having used superpowers.
Just wait till Anthropic and OpenAI are public, the admin is going to be manipulating the shit out of those with model approvals and denials.
That seems to be the biggest limiter, hard to have it do real work on a codebase without it's own environment set up that we can control.
Definitely bookmarking for future ideas and inspiration, don't care if I'm shamed for it.
Clowns, all the way down.

Hi HN. We're OpsRev. We build AI operations agents for construction companies.These two CLIs are what our agents use internally to talk to Procore (construction project management) and EagleView (aerial property measurements). We decided to open-source them because the developer tooling in construction software is rough and nobody should have to re-solve the same auth and pagination problems we...
Sounds about on par with what I would expect competence wise.
I've found copilot within the Azure portal to be basically useless for solving most problems.
We provide tools to manage their inventory, better sales reporting than what most POSs provide, marketing tools, etc.
Headset isn't a POS, we integrate with essentially all of the POS providers. At the bottom of the page there is a list with sales represented.
Not sure what more substance you need, we integrate with close to 30 different POS providers, that's it. There is no law mandating realtime reporting. Every transaction from thousands of retailers is represented... What more do you want to know?
Concentrates make up a small percentage of total sales as you can see on the category chart. A certain number of consumers will have trouble regulating consumption, but that is true with many things like alcohol, nicotine, cheeseburgers. I don't think going back to the prohibition era of alcohol is quite the solution.

Built this dashboard to visualize cannabis sales in real time across North America during 4/20. The data updates live from thousands of dispensary POS transactions as the day unfolds.Under the hood, we’re using Estuary for data streaming and Tinybird to power super fast analytical queries. The charts are made in Tremor and the map is D3.
> As with all of these agencies, I think it's important to caution against complete slash and burn, but I am also curious to see the receipts. Post the data and let me decide for myself.

Here you go, the data is of course available because that is what our laws require. They are under the Department of Commerce, which in total makes up less than 2% of the annual budget. If your argument is that NOAA is running on old infrastructure, then a modernization project should be prioritized, but that is _certainly_ not a way to save money.
Because some morons think everything needs to be a business. We can't possibly be spending money on something unless it is generating money back, ignoring the fact that it is providing a service to make our lives better.

I loathe so much getting data out of mongo in a reasonable fashion. Pipelines are a nightmare to accomplish what you can do in 10 seconds writing sql.
Wonder how this compares to Autorest which is another MS project that does the same thing.
