The more you read and understand what Palantir does, it is obvious that they are miles ahead of everyone else when it comes to AI-driven decisions for enterprise businesses

To build this dam, engineers first drowned a waterfall twice the size of Niagara. You could hear it roaring from 20 miles away. Then they made one of the world's biggest rivers move out of the way, just to clear room for the construction site.

It's the Itaipu Dam, on the Paraná River where Brazil meets Paraguay. Work started in 1975, and the first job was the river itself. Crews spent three years carving a 1.2-mile channel through solid bedrock, 500 feet wide and 300 feet deep.

They hauled away 50 million tons of earth. In October 1978, they set off 58 tons of dynamite, forcing the Paraná into a brand new path. Only then could the dam itself start to rise.

The structure ate roughly five times the concrete used for the Hoover Dam, plus enough steel to rebuild the Eiffel Tower 380 times over. On one day in November 1978, the site poured concrete fast enough to put up a 10-story apartment building every hour for 24 hours straight. The main wall is 643 feet tall, the height of a 65-story tower. It runs almost 5 miles across the river.

The bill came to $19.6 billion in 1970s money, roughly $60 billion today. About 40,000 people lost their homes when the reservoir filled. And in October 1982, when the water rose in just 14 days, it drowned Guaíra Falls, a chain of 18 waterfalls on the Brazil-Paraguay border that carried double the water of Niagara. Months earlier, a footbridge over the falls had collapsed under crowds of last-look tourists. Twenty-six died.

In 2016, the dam produced as much electricity in a single year as New York City uses in two. That set a world record only broken in 2020 by China's Three Gorges Dam, which has 60% more generating power but sits on a river that runs low for half the year. Since 1984, Itaipu has put out more electricity than any single power plant in human history. It supplies around 90% of Paraguay's electricity and roughly 10% of Brazil's, from one wall of concrete. The final construction loan was paid off in February 2023, almost 50 years after the treaty was signed.

@paolino @_swanson @chat_with_work Hey @paolino, I am curious about observability with async-job, it doesn't seem like it comes with something like a dashboard (similar to sidekiq), how are you handling that? Like, do you have any insight on how many async jobs are running at once and so on?

[Marcelo @marcelolx_]

@bartlecki @_swanson @_m27e We are currently using direct connections to the replicas; planetscale doesn't offer on-machine pgbouncer for replicas (which makes sense, since most of the time, people want to spread the load across all replicas, not just one — but for our load, it's fine to use direct con)

[Marcelo @marcelolx_]

@xz1rs Claro, mas não espere que todo mundo vai adotar isso — não espere que todo e qualquer projeto open source vai começar a verificar identidade

[Marcelo @marcelolx_]

This reminds me of when our government would fine us for accessing twitter through a VPN when they blocked it… they obviously didn’t fine anyone

[The Lunduke Journal @LundukeJournal]

To every Open Source operating system out there:

You have 14 days to comply with Brazil's new age verification law... or Brazil can begin attempting to fine you $9.5 Million USD per infraction.

This applies to, literally, every Operating system on the planet: Including every Linux and BSD system.

[Marcelo @marcelolx_]

@danielzarick Yeah, I need a new laptop with 124GB of RAM to run all those electron apps

[Marcelo @marcelolx_]

"Human Rights" and then proceeds to defend criminals who kill innocent people who don't collaborate with their actions — utterly disgusting .

[UN Human Rights @UNHumanRights]

#Brazil: We are horrified by the ongoing police operation in favelas in Rio de Janeiro, reportedly already resulting in deaths of over 60 people, including 4 police officers.

This deadly operation furthers the trend of extreme lethal consequences of police operations in Brazil’s marginalized communities.

We remind authorities of their obligations under international human rights law, and urge prompt and effective investigations.

If you are on Salesforce you might want to check it out what we just got out of the oven — all the goodies that HubSpot customers get from Arrows, now on Salesforce; We’re just getting started

[DZ @danielzarick]

Today is the biggest launch we've had (yet)... we're bringing @HubSpot's secret weapon to @Salesforce customers.

All sales and customer success teams who use SFDC can now use Arrows! ☁️ 🎉

Arrows is all about saving time and energy for frontline reps, while helping buyers and customers make the right choices and going live quickly.

There's nothing worse than losing a deal you should've won because you didn't enable your champion properly, or a customer who churned because they didn't know what to do to launch with you.

Don't lose because you weren't prepared.

We've been fixing this for companies and customers of all sizes, and now with Arrows live for Salesforce, we can deliver on this at an even larger scale.

-----

💬 "I'm being 100% honest when I say that Arrows is the core reason I'd go to bat for leaving Salesforce." – a text I got from a VP of Marketing earlier this year.

Every month we work with multiple companies who are switching to HubSpot from Salesforce OR switching from HubSpot to Salesforce. Whether it's different features they need, an acquisition of their company, or a new leader making a change... Arrows wants to make sure we can be there to support customers along the way.

Now they don't have to debate whether or not they can use Arrows... the answer is always "Yes!"

-----

But this is really only the start, a foundation on which we'll continue building.

Over the next few months and all of 2026, Arrows customers will be blown away by how great their sales rooms and onboarding plans continue to look and how quickly they can generate them for customers.

[Marcelo @marcelolx_]

I love how this turned out — checkout https://t.co/0VWRnJj7vC!

[DZ @danielzarick]

Today we're reintroducing Arrows... with a new website, a lot of customer stories (more coming 📹), refreshed positioning, and a LOT of product launches coming soon (with some teasers on the website 👀).

The Arrows team has been so focused on building a great product and working with customers that we let the website, brand, and product marketing fall a bit far behind the reality of what our customers felt about us.

Since "I Love Happy Customers" is a well-worn mantra (and they're the only ones who matter)... we felt the best thing to do would be to put those happy customer front-and-center across the site.

Check out the new Arrows and maybe you'll consider becoming another one of our happy customers! 🎉

[DZ @danielzarick]

The story l've been eager to share for two years: Arrows powers @HubSpot global customer onboarding program.

HubSpot accelerated customer activation by 30%, improved activation by over 7%, AND their onboarding reps save ~15 hours per week.

Tons more to do!

@_st0012 @louzell_ @excid3 never mind, it works, I just missed setting "localfs: true" when running it through TCP/IP

[Marcelo @marcelolx_]

@_st0012 @louzell_ @excid3 Hey @_st0012, did you ever get this working with the solid_queue gem? I was able to get VS Code debugging for the Rails server, but not for jobs that are enqueued/run by solid_queue

[Marcelo @marcelolx_]

@mscccc it's dead because it isn't using enough ram

[Marcelo @marcelolx_]

@_PorscheF1 @FormulaFantasia Yeah, I put him once on my team and got this mastershit

[Ayub | Internet propriamente dita @ayubio]

Desde 2023 tenho alertado sobre a implantação dos primeiros elementos técnicos no Brasil de um Grande Firewall da China para censura sigilosa de conteúdos na Internet, sem transparência, sem prestação de contas. Nas falas do presidente da República e do ministro do STF, a admiração pela Internet chinesa tem se repetido.

Essa fala do ministro ocorreu durante o julgamento que anulará o artigo 19 do Marco Civil da Internet como se o judiciário tivesse o poder de legislar.

Essa lei válida nos últimos 11 anos foi a que impediu que a Anatel bloqueasse Amazon e MercadoLivre nacionalmente essa semana e com o término desse julgamento, não estará mais impedida.

Isso te parece bom para o Brasil e compatível com nossas leis? Cadê a resposta de nosso poder legislativo?

[Marcelo @marcelolx_]

Salesforce/Heroku right now

[Gergely Orosz @GergelyOrosz]

How is this happening:

GCP major outage; Cloudflare major outage… at the same time!

Never seen this before

Their infra is fully independent AFAIK

[Marcelo @marcelolx_]

@f1fantasytools Interesting, so if someone gets top 3 with T2 or T3, you won’t win de prize?

[Marcelo @marcelolx_]

Me proclamaria monarca do Brasil e então iria resolver os problemas com calma.

Não tem uma lei que, sozinha, vai resolver os problemas desse país.

[Raul Sena @oraulsena]

Você foi eleito líder supremo do Brasil por 59 minutos. É o tempo exato para promulgar uma única lei que será cumprida pelos próximos 300 anos.

Qual lei criaria?
