Every week, for the past 2 months, 80k databases are created per week in the Turso Cloud. These databases are being used as a sync point for local databases, or queried directly over the wire.
And that doesn't even run Turso yet - which is still in beta.
Imagine what will happen when we can plug into that a database that supports concurrent writes, cdc, strict types, and all the amazing innovation we're brewing at Turso.

Nico from Playkit 📲@Nick_5anchez
In 2025 Playkit paid out $1.1M+ in ugc creator spend. The return -> 755M+ views accross TT and IG. We've consolidated all our data from this past year to break down the biggest insights in the app space: - best app categories for ugc - average cpm per campaign - avg campaign benchmarks for month to month + more report read time (10m) comment "playkit report" and ill dm you

got a message 3 months ago from a 16 year old asking if she could help promote apps
"i post videos on tiktok and get decent views, maybe i could help?"
i was skeptical
gave her the worst performing app i was working with at that time
told her: "post whatever you want, let's see what happens"
7 days later she sent me this:
"hey so i posted 11 videos and one of them got 480K views, is that good?"
the app got 920 installs that week
more than the previous 6 weeks combined
asked her: "how'd you know that angle would work?"
"idk i just posted what would make me download it"
no strategy deck no brand guidelines no "marketing expertise"
just a teenager who understands what makes HER generation stop scrolling
here's what she did that other's couldn't:
- she posted like a real person not like a brand trying to sound like a real person
- the comments were full of "wait i actually need this" and "sending to my friends"
meanwhile ADs get comments like "nice!" and "great app!"
engagement that means nothing
from that moment I started to create a whole army
trusted my guts and bet on broke teenagers
now I gathered more than 8 thousand yn's
if you want access to my yn amry, send me a DM

Interesting benchmark on pointers vs. indices, relevant to Rust code which for borrow checking reasons tends to use indices a lot: en.algorithmica.org/hpc/cpu-cache/…
tl;dr you pay 1 cycle penalty for address computation, but indices can be 32-bit instead of 64-bit, which can be a big win.

It's been a while since I wrote anything so I wrote an article on how to discover the entire x86-64 instruction set in seconds including any hidden instructions and learn their basic properties while on it. There were some pretty interesting results!

@ryan_levick Not sure but it might be related to the scheduler prioritizing the video & sound ?

I thought there might be something nice in arxiv.org/abs/2002.07053, but I didn't expect such a nice result.
