Update on building jsheets: ChatGPT ignored my architecture instructions and started jamming everything into the iron calc engine and then told me “yeah there’s no way we can hit 100m rows in here” No shit! Moving the work to Claude to see if that works better

Me: “ah cool I finally found a problem I can give ChatGPT a goal for and it will run for a while” Also me, checking in after 72 hours: “oh my god this is terrible and will never work”

Replying to @patio11
“What software systems do you model as being predictably exploitable given a frontier-class AI?” I think the correct answer rounds to “There is a token budget sufficient to compromise virtually any software system of interest. Only interesting variable is how much.”

This hit hard. I so deeply miss the early days of my career where you could write an Airflow tutorial that would go viral. And when teaching people to use software was a beautiful and sustainable dialogue and practice 😢 borretti.me/article/no-man-i…

Researchers gave bumblebees a straight route to food but some wandered off it to push tiny balls around instead. One bee did it 117 times.

The KC front office before they signed Tucker when a staffer asked if they should be worried about the messaging.

#Chiefs HC Andy Reid faced five straight minutes of questions about Justin Tucker today, including what message his signing sends to female fans of the team. "He's done his suspension. Took care of his business there. I'll leave it at that." Full back-and-forth exchange below:

Ducktober, Drop 03: Giga 🦆 One very big duck. Tens of terabytes. No cluster. Giga is MotherDuck’s largest instance: roughly the CPU and RAM of a Snowflake 3XL, in a single machine. On the 10 TB TPC-DS benchmark it ran all 99 queries at a 5.6-second geomean. No nodes to size. No cluster to tune. When the data gets big, scale up. Catch up on Ducktober and read our CEO's recent blog on Giga→ motherduck.com/ducktober Five more to go. The next one comes through tomorrow at 9am PT.

I'm surprised more towns in Washington don't claim Kurt Cobain was also depressed spending time in them.

DAX Benchmark v2 is out, developed by @maxanatsko and SQLBI. 94 tasks, three times v1. Every answer is executed and has to return the right numbers on rows, subtotals and totals. All or nothing. What changed and why: sqlbi.com/blog/marco/2026/10… #dax #powerbi
