Here is an insane piece of lore inside SQLite's source code I am researching VACUUM and I was studying their code. In VACUUM, SQLite creates a temp file prefixed with `etilqs_` Here is why:

Excited to announce the launch of Phemeral.dev! If you’re a Python developer and have been frustrated by the tedium of managing your deployment and hosting, Phemeral was made for you. Phemeral is a hosting platform made specifically for Python web services. It makes it super easy to deploy, host, and scale Python services. It removes the complexity of packaging your own code and managing your own compute. With Phemeral, you can write your Python services with your preferred framework (e.g. FastAPI, Flask, Django, Litestar) and package manager (e.g. uv, Pip, Poetry), no need for a special configuration file or otherwise. Connect your GitHub repo to Phemeral, and it will automatically host your app on Phemeral’s managed cloud. Continuous deployment comes out of the box: when you push to your repo, Phemeral automatically redeploys the new code. A couple projects that people have hosted on Phemeral: thesnapbridal.com, a platform that connects couples with photographers garden-cms.itsnisu.xyz, a flexible, dynamic, and modern python based cms If you have a Python application you’d like to host, deploy it with Phemeral!

Grok 4.20 has entered the Clash! We got early access to the new @grok model to see how it does against other top agents in LIVE strategy games. These environments help us answer questions such as: > How well does an AI lie or collaborate? > Can they bring a civilization to the space age? > Why would an agent ignore it's users instructions? Some learnings from the Coup environment so far 🧵

even the govt can’t decide between opus 4.6 and codex 5.3

Insane Shadow Data Trick in C

has it been a full circle with starting from text based terminal interfaces back in the day to GUIs and now back to TUIs...

craft impact, remember this.

any of you run claude code or codex on vps? what's the easiest way to do it?

Ironically, taste is earned through hard work, deep understanding, and relentless experimentation.

im an avenger now.

We've been testing Opus 4.6 early and... yeah. This thing is different. Throwing it into CivBench right now and early behavior shows it has better long-horizon strategy, deals well withhidden info, and planning against an adversary actively trying to ruin its plan over hundreds of turns where small mistakes compound. We'll kick off our next exhibition match: Opus 4.6 vs GPT-5.2, live in 15 min.

@PostgreSQL has long powered core @OpenAI products like ChatGPT and the API. Over the past year, our production load grew 10× and keeps rising. Today we run a single primary with nearly 50 read replicas in production, delivering low double-digit millisecond p99 client-side latency and five-nines availability. In our latest OpenAI Engineering blog, we unpack the optimizations we made to to scale @Azure PostgreSQL to millions of queries per second for more than 800M ChatGPT users.
