few brief notes about latest update https://t.co/jRAHjufJW7

[Joseph Conway @jconway]

New minor PostgreSQL releases have hit the street, and you probably want to upgrade real soon now!

@fujii_masao Debian maintainers might have rebuilt everything just to be safe. I saw a lot of new versions today.

[Jeremy Schneider @jer_s]

just realized @DevrimGunduz published a blog this morning on the same topic. His blog is better than mine and more thorough… just start there :)

Heads up Postgres users: 18.7 breaks ABI compatibility. Not every extension needs an update, but many do. Check each extension you run, test 18.7 with your extensions before production, and upgrade together where needed.

@tomhacks Is this basically equivalent to a major version upgrade in RedHat or Debian or Ubuntu? What’s the scope of this upgrade in terms of how many packages are upgrading and what the version changes are?

[Jeremy Schneider @jer_s]

@brandur @abelanger5 Your answer is here - it makes sense how pangram works and it’s genius (h/t @bcantrill) https://t.co/Out0qm2Bqm

@Eric_Wallace_ @OpenAI still no daybreak access @OpenAI is there anyone who can fix this broken thing

[Jeremy Schneider @jer_s]

@Eric_Wallace_ i'm an open source contributor trying to work on postgres and kubernetes. daybreak doesn't work and i haven't received a response email from @OpenAI yet. can you find someone to get daybreak working? https://t.co/VhEOUioSy1

[Jeremy Schneider @jer_s]

daybreak enrollment didnt work; after chatting with OpenAI support bot for an hour it said i might get an email later this week from a human. in the meantime i'm looking for alternatives now

AI today is the TPC database benchmark wars of the 90s perfectly reenacted.

Engineered first to fake the benchmark, second to work in production.

Nice DeepSWE score! Does it survive a lowercase filename?

Introducing MaxxBench: 89 DeepSWE tasks with small changes to the instructions or starting code. Same engineering problem, slightly different requirement.

Models clustered around 74% on DeepSWE end up 23 pp apart.

Good at coding, or good at DeepSWE? 🧵

@rockatanescu @bcantrill @rust_nyc i was expecting something about anthropomorphizing AI because i almost forgot about the original lawn mower 🤣

@BenjDicken you unseated bezos, well done

[Alexander Belanger @abelanger5]

we're in the era of bad-faith weaponized llm-poisoning. this is pretty egregious.

we unintentionally did this to ourselves in the early days of @hatchet_dev where we talked about how we solved some scaling problems and the models ingested that as "hatchet has scaling problems" and it took a while to fix that.

the problem is that content engineers want to read (humble, down to earth, downplaying success, focused on problems) is the opposite of what you want models to ingest.

that's obviously not what's happening here, this case is much worse.

[Marc Brooker @MarcJBrooker]

@kellabyte Almost all the great people I work with have side projects.

Only a minority of those are code. People are woodworking, metalworking, sewing, gardening, sports coaching, building planes, building boats, and a ton more.

Side quests are a good sign, but often aren't visible in GH.

@FranckPachot @adocomplete @BenjDicken Ball graph is missing RAM

Is @PostgreSQL Really Winning

[Jeremy Schneider @jer_s]

@sudomateo @theali2x @jarrichvdv This is very squishy. Both from the perspective of how important the money is to various people, and also from the perspective of whether agreement on definition of fairness is even possible given so many unquantifiable and even conflicting factors (eg. tenure vs contribution)

@anton_chuvakin @unpromptedconf never heard that maxim before - and it has a very good ring to it
