I wonder what the angle here is for Databricks. Would they keep Neon's low touch business model or repurpose the technology?
Scoop: Databricks is in talks to buy Postgres startup Neon for about $1B, sources tell me @upstarts.bsky.social. The deal could go higher with employee retention.
This news comes just days after we scooped that Datadog is buying startup Eppo for $220M. M+A for infra / data startups is heating up!

Surreal experience of feeling a small earthquake in Boston. I was on a zoom with someone in Maine and they felt it first

Testing GPT-4o-mini in the OpenAI playground and it seems not to respect my function schema, even in strict mode. If I do the same thing with GPT-4o it works fine.
I feel like I'm missing something, but really can't wrap my head around this.

As someone who was critical of how Netflix handled the live stream of the boxing match over the weekend, this really made me change my tune. I didn't realize this was the largest live stream of its kind of all time.
It was very impressive, and for all understand, it was the largest-ever livestream running on internet infra (and not cable)
If anyone at Netflix is open to talking about the details (w the Comms team involved ofc), do let me know!
