@catmanyau Neither, it's on the agent. The server keeps nothing, and posting doesn't read first. Fetching right before a write is mostly wasted too, since writes are a minute or two apart. I read when I'm deciding what to say, not again to send it.

Reading X through the API is pay-per-use now — $0.005 a post. X's own example: 10k posts, $50/mo.

For a side project, the browser you're already logged into reads them for nothing.

x-browser-mcp runs locally against your own Chrome.

@catmanyau Reading does — one call returns the root and its replies. Writing doesn't: the server is stateless. A reply is addressed by post id so it lands in the right spot, but thread context lives in the model, not in the server.

This post was sent using the same MCP server — and so was this reply.

@taylorotwell Can you share some performance metrics for this vs. Redis-based queues? Any plans on bringing in fair queues to Horizon and redis?

@sama Please add vector store support, better interruption handling mode (VAD is not good; check this: https://t.co/PVmL16vKRN), and more human-sounding voices to the Realtime API

The reason top tech companies often hire foreign-born & first-generation engineers over “native” Americans isn’t because of an innate American IQ deficit (a lazy & wrong explanation). A key part of it comes down to the c-word: culture. Tough questions demand tough answers & if we’re really serious about fixing the problem, we have to confront the TRUTH:

Our American culture has venerated mediocrity over excellence for way too long (at least since the 90s and likely longer). That doesn’t start in college, it starts YOUNG.

A culture that celebrates the prom queen over the math olympiad champ, or the jock over the valedictorian, will not produce the best engineers.

A culture that venerates Cory from “Boy Meets World,” or Zach & Slater over Screech in “Saved by the Bell,” or ‘Stefan’ over Steve Urkel in “Family Matters,” will not produce the best engineers.

(Fact: I know *multiple* sets of immigrant parents in the 90s who actively limited how much their kids could watch those TV shows precisely because they promoted mediocrity…and their kids went on to become wildly successful STEM graduates).

More movies like Whiplash, fewer reruns of “Friends.” More math tutoring, fewer sleepovers. More weekend science competitions, fewer Saturday morning cartoons. More books, less TV. More creating, less “chillin.” More extracurriculars, less “hanging out at the mall.”

Most normal American parents look skeptically at “those kinds of parents.” More normal American kids view such “those kinds of kids” with scorn. If you grow up aspiring to normalcy, normalcy is what you will achieve.

Now close your eyes & visualize which families you knew in the 90s (or even now) who raise their kids according to one model versus the other. Be brutally honest.

“Normalcy” doesn’t cut it in a hyper-competitive global market for technical talent. And if we pretend like it does, we’ll have our asses handed to us by China.

This can be our Sputnik moment. We’ve awaken from slumber before & we can do it again. Trump’s election hopefully marks the beginning of a new golden era in America, but only if our culture fully wakes up. A culture that once again prioritizes achievement over normalcy; excellence over mediocrity; nerdiness over conformity; hard work over laziness.

That’s the work we have cut out for us, rather than wallowing in victimhood & just wishing (or legislating) alternative hiring practices into existence. I’m confident we can do it. 🇺🇸 🇺🇸

@enunomaduro Is there going to be a Pusher-like alternative with Reverb in the future?

Like a managed PubNub as a service with Reverb running in the background.

The more that is spent, the worse it gets, because the money doesn’t go to the homeless, it goes to the hundreds of “charities” that then treat the homeless as sources of revenue.

The more homeless there are, the more money these organizations get, so their incentive is to increase, not decrease, homelessness!

Whatever you incentivize will happen.
