I stopped myself posting here what I posted on twitter a few times bc I feel this site deserves something better

My gmail is NOT full of LM generated spams, it IS full of 'national debt relief' ones with very obvious spam patterns

For short attention span folks I made a 'tweetability' page so you can read long form in short tweets x.mindynode.com

Buckle up because we're banging into the new year with my annual retrospective of the last year in databases! Highlights include license change blowback, Databricks vs. Snowflake gangwar, @duckdb.org's shotgun weddings, and buying a quarterback to impress your lover: www.cs.cmu.edu/~pavlo/blog/...

hmm it does not pass my Fortune's Foundation step 1 test, only o1 does (4 correct steps) so far

tried this on o1, it went as far as 4 steps:
"Move 11 from Queue 7 to Queue 3 after 12
Move 10 from Queue 11 to Queue 3 after 11
Move 5/L from Queue 5 to Queue 6
Move 17 from Queue 5 to Queue 8 after 18"
after that it hallucinates a bit and gives up

www.josherich.me/short/fortun... Fortune's Foundation is hard but getting the first step right should be easy, which is not something LLM can do

for $432 a year, you get 4 virtual cpu, 6gb memory; for $533, you get a mac mini with 10 core M4, 16gb memory, and a free Cloudflare zeroTrust tunnel

tiny weekend task: podcast script www.josherich.me/short/left-r... this is mostly manual but I'm working on the automated pipeline
