LISTEN/NOTIFY is not brittle, we use it for millions of events per day.

I agree! It should be very stable, IMO. If not, then please send a bug report and we'll look into it. Also, now it scales well with the number of listening connections (given clients listen on unique channel names): https://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=postgresql.git;a=commit...

The LISTEN/NOTIFY feature really just doesn’t get enough PR. It is perfectly suitable for production workloads yet people still want to reach for more complicated solutions they don’t need.

It's not the feature itself, it's how/what the llm tries to use it for. It uses it to cross any and all architectural boundaries.

Also most people’s way into poverty.

All those serving hard time in prison for sport gambling crimes should be pardoned.

It would be interesting to make that sort of thing generic. A law couldn’t legalize something without backporting the legalization.

Pete Rose: reprehensible pariah or radical pioneer?

That is certainly on the table... as long as they have a couple of million stashed away to put into World Liberty Financial and the charges are federal.

The unwashed poors though... they are SOL.

If the crew were to be lost into deep space or something, is there a protocol for self euthanization?

They will be in a free return orbit so that can’t happen - just other bad things.

What’s the margin of error on a free return orbit burn though? Isn’t there a scenario of being pointed slightly in the wrong direction or burning for too long throwing them off?

I’ve decided the only way I’ll adopt a full automated agentic AI workflow the way companies want, is if I am allowed to hold multiple jobs at multiple companies.

Imagine having 6 software engineering jobs, each paying maybe $150k a year, all being done by agents.

Hell, I might even do this secretly without their consent. If I can hold just 10 jobs for about 3 or 4 years, I can retire and leave the industry before it all comes crumbling down in 2030.

The problem of course, is securing that many jobs. But maybe agents can help with applying for jobs.

Could be cool if your PRs link back to a blog where you write about your tools.

I think eventually we will revert back to a Dark Forest model for online services, where people stay hidden and anonymous to carefully avoid being preyed on by looming corporations.

Remember you’re talking to a vibe coder who just stares at code being printed out by AI.

That’s a big assumption. It’s a brand new account, might be a bot. PR/astroturfing is a great use case for agentic AI

Honestly, I’m starting to not give a fuck about ranking on Google.

Google searches have become incredibly devalued for me in the age of LLMs. ChatGPT is pretty much my first and often only stop on a quest for some answers.

If you have a website, you must promote it via other ways that don’t involve Google.

I keep hearing about these long lines but I literally went to a major airport the other day for a flight and got through security in minutes.

It’s really just a handful that have long lines part of the day. LAX for example hasn’t has a line at all really. Takes longer for my bag to be secondary checked every time than it does to wait in line.

That's why anecdotal evidence doesn't mean much.

They are both anecdotal

I’ve heard this is very airport dependent

Essential Air Service travelers aren't seeing any major pain either traveling outbound. Fortunately (though kind of sadly) the TSA folks only work a couple hours a day at the checkpoint for the single flight in and out so most of them are working side jobs anyways as their day job from what I hear. Our checkpoint doesn't even open until ~45 minutes before boarding starts in the middle of the day.
