In my minds eye I've been yearning to see an IDE that focuses on a zoomable interface.

This looks like a good start.

Get back to me when the tech gets shrunk down to a normal pair of glasses I can use as every day eyewear.

There's some really great story telling found in some K and C dramas that you just don't find in western media.

Interesting and varied modern story telling in KDramas and fantastic historical story telling in CDramas.

There's also quite a bit of it to consume from over the years on alternative platforms like Viki.

Sadly most of the "best" can't be found on Netflix so most people just don't have any idea about it.

This is meaningless.

"Good guys follow rules, bad guys don't."

As if getting the infrastructure to privately build your own model is challenging for people that have the capital to spend on such projects.

Meh. Just like anything else on the internet. Value can be derived if the person using it has both critical thinking as well as the capacity to spot the flaws or falsehoods.

In this sense it's literally no worse than reading random "news" articles and somehow taking it all as fact at face value.

If you fall into the trap of taking everything ChatGPT tells you as gospel you've already lost.

As for the so called false promise, this is old man yells at clouds stuff.

One thing I always wished Pizzly would have added was regular api key based authentication alongside oauth.

Make it suitable for all integration authentication possibilities.

I'm always interested in seeing alternative solutions to this problem.

So I'm not an expert, but for simplistic use cases I merely make use of https://github.com/oguimbal/pg-mem

It's a lot faster and easier than dealing with containers and the like.

I actually look forward to Neon but won't actually use it for real until pricing becomes available.

I'd extend the API to allow for querying via JSON similar to keen rather than merely focusing on visualizations.

Honestly as a dev all I want is a simple/fast/cheap keen alternative that I can dump events into and do ad-hoc analytical queries with programmatically.

Yeah but that's what would make you happy...

This is something I've been hoping to see for a long time. I've long wanted a serverless postgres solution that would enable me to inexpensively put up a db and throw hasura on top of it.

I have a question about performance though. Let's say I have a table with millions of rows. Would it automatically scale to resources to get me sub second queries on it?

Ultimately that's what I desire in such a solution. Something that will let me throw whatever at it and will handle the scaling to keep whatever queries I throw at it fast.

Unfortunately this seems to be expensive for arbitrary use.

I adore Hasura and have used it pretty extensively for over a year.

That being said, the biggest thing I desire from it is the ability to do group by aggregations.

Any time I have to do this I have to go through the tedious process of writing a function which is really annoying.

I wish to avoid having to break into raw SQL as much as possible when using a tool such as Hasura.
