I have used tinybird for production fraud monitoring and customer facing analytics. Javi and the team are great to work with. I have also used regular clickhouse cloud.

I initially tried tinybird out just to rule out clickhouse as an option for my workload when I was planning on going with Apache Druid but then found out for my workloads they blew it out of the water.

So I definitely recommend them and the whole clickhouse ecosystem in general for any kind of high throughput read and write analytics work.

I recently bought about ~50 19th century menus from France for special dinners to go along with a project I was working on. Was looking for specific meals.

There are so many on ebay and delcampe and I think people used to make these and save these special event menus much more than we do today.

I have been to a handful of tech dinners recently that have had them though so maybe it is coming back!

The thinking models (especially OpenAI's o3) still seem to do by far the best at this task as they look across the document to see how the writer wrote certain letters where the word is more clear when it runs into confusing words.

I built a whole product around this: https://DocumentTranscribe.com

But I imagine this will keep getting better and that excites me since this was largely built for my own research!

I think you’re confusing geothermal systems (ground excavation, drilling, etc) which are not what this article is talking about.

Yeah. I always used Sol but tonight before reading all this, my daughter and I were talking to it and even my 8-year old said it sounded like she didn’t care or want to talk to us. Super disappointing.

I bought a couple guardian bikes a couple days ago. Their website said they would arrive today, February 1. I assumed it was some kind of weird leap day issue.

Doesn’t Google literally pay them like 20 billion per year for exactly this?

I worked for mDesign for and we owned m.design for a while. We used it for our corporate email addresses ([email protected] for example) but the majority of non-tech employees and vendors just couldn’t get used to it and tried things like [email protected] or etc so it got scrapped.

As a collector who is in the process of founding a museum, I think my favorite examples of this type of exhibit are: The Great cabinet of curiosities and their collection of collections at the Basel Historical Museum

And then of course the Enlightenment gallery at the British Museum, which is essentially a collection of collections showing how people used to display their various types of collections.

What a wild ride. I have used X more the past few days than in a long time; that’s for sure!

They already have an API in AWS, it’s what this project is showcasing.

The combination of Ctrl+C - Ctrl+T - Ctrl+V - Ctrl+A - Ctrl+X - Ctrl+W is pretty much hardcoded into my brain.
