@BenjDicken great read! what's the advantage of "App-side PgBouncers" over just using a connection pool in whatever pg client library your app is using though? Besides potentially a few code changes (if not already doing) i'd think thats even simpler for that case
English
Postgres is bad at handling lots of connections.
It's one of the biggest pain-point I've seen from customers over the past year.
PgBouncer is the way to solve this. It's powerful, but also easy to misuse. So, I wrote about it.

GPT-5.4 is a big step forward
Eric Hartford@QuixiAI
GPT-5.4 is really good. I immediately notice its boost in understanding and ability to solve problems quickly and completely. Using it to create a compiler, Claude Code is pretty much stumped. GPT-5.3 was making slow progress. But GPT-5.4 just *gets* it.

@colmtuite This is nice for mobile but I feel like its an awkward movement on desktop?

New SwipeArea component coming soon to Base UI Drawer. Swipe close to the edge of the viewport to open the Drawer.
Similar to YouTube's Drawer.

Lots of custom-written SVG here!
Each block is just a simple React component w/ props for position, dimensions, colors, etc., so there's a lot of flexibility in what we can do with them.

running benchmarks across OpenAI models and the GPT-5 "fast" models are surprisingly slow.
5-nano is just as slow as 5? 5-mini is quicker but still way slower than 4.1-nano or 4o-mini, which are cheaper too.
is anyone actually using these over faster/cheaper alternatives?
English
most AI benchmark papers don't include latency or cost. two models can score almost identically and perform completely differently in production.

Our founding engineer ran an ambitious experiment testing “infinite context windows” on real agent data at @Voker_ai.
RLMs acted like multi agent analysts–powerful and creative, but extremely brittle.
Interesting results, but not production ready yet.

Is this better than Cursor and existing AI code gen tools? theverge.com/news/873300/ap…

I don’t blindly trust AI coding tools.
I treat them like a fast junior engineer: great for ideas and boilerplate, not a substitute for understanding the system.
Every PR still gets reviewed and tested. AI-generated or not, the person submitting it is responsible for the outcome.

@hunktwink123 Are you using a library to make the graph? I really like how this looks
