Using DSPy to find prompts at the pareto frontier of length versus accuracy is *fascinating*
In plain English: You can use an LLM to modify and test prompts and find the best ones for each tradeoff of result accuracy and prompt shortness.

A good example of the kind of development AI tools are good at. A developer feeds an APK of an Android word game to OpenAI’s Codex + ChatGPT 5.2 and creates a working iOS version which is now in the App Store without writing a line of code.
He did get permission from the original game developer.

So @itsnotaboutthecell.com what if I used AI to cluster and categorize 3,800 comments so I can identify blog topics so I can stop answering the same question over and over?
Would that be a good idea?

I'm experimenting with @sessionize.com to manage user group talk scheduling. It's pretty neat! But the flow of handling speakers is a little different to an event with a fixed time.
Interested in your thoughts on how you would want to be handled dear speakers.

Looks like this is happening again this year. I don't think it's unreasonable to expect a waitlist or decline email when you announce your first batch of speakers.
FabCon Vegas is about two months out, and still haven't let all speakers know if their session is selected or declined.
And the price of the plane tickets just keep increasing 🫤

@randolphwest.ca Any chance you know if this is the only place that documents the default type for a NULL?

Ran into a customer issue where they were surprised that SELECT NULL as column INTO table picks INT as the data type. It makes sense, but couldn't find docs

I have a friend who recently gave me a speech similar to the below. He ended it with the analogy that if your career didn’t turn into a rocket ship between 2010 - 2022 then at this point you missed it and your job is to land the plane.
