Also three AI products built solo, end to end, in Elixir, Go and OCaml, each on infrastructure I set up and still run. One has been live and unattended for months.

Open to contract (B2B) or permanent.

is there a reason to still pick PgBouncer over these newer ones? Or is PgBouncer mostly the default because everybody runs it

I did not know this before... Google protobuf is not one thing, it is three! Same import, but:

* old C++ extension

* upb

* pure Python

upb parses FAST, but then every access is still C->Python and it slows it down. So for many reads the slow python one can win?

This one helped me to dig deeper - https://vectree.io/c/how-python-protobuf-runtimes-work-pure-...

I did not know this until today... vision models don't hunt for the white space between letters like old OCR does. They just chop the whole image into a fixed grid of equal squares (patches) and treat each square like a word in a sentence.

I always used memcached without knowing how it stores things.. never knew about the slab thing.

It is more sophisticated than grab memory per item.

This helped be to understand it better - https://vectree.io/c/memcached-internals-slab-allocation-lru...

actually local MCP just spawns a subprocess and talks via stdin/stdout.. same as CLI tool. Extra layer is only for remote case.

You are right, PRs are not in git. format-patch and request-pull are originals designed for mailings lists. Github just put UI on top.

Interesting that DAG model means any branch from anywhere can be merged... the forge is just coordination.

The ETH article title is actually fine - "a new trick brings stability."

The hype is in the HN title.

true, but reading this made me learn something new.

Turns out HashCash (system Bitcoin borrowed), was originally built to fight email spam in 1977 - https://vectree.io/c/hashcash-the-proof-of-work-system-cited...

I like the garden analogy.

Writing online used to bring you readers. Now it trains model, which answers the same questions without sending anyone to your site.
