Claude Code + Notion MCP + $DB_Vendor MCP = 🤌

Gave an outline of my idea. Claude took my outline, found the relevant data, and turned it into a polished proposal with hard data in record time.

My favorite part of Claude Code: I can get an idea out over the weekend. Before: My laptop was a graveyard of personal projects that took all weekend just to get the structure in place. Now with Agentic Coding, I focus on shipping my idea.

AI Coding tools are evolving quickly -- if you have not tried them in the past month, you owe it to yourself to revisit. I spent the weekend with ChatGPT Codex and Claude Code, and wow 🤯.

Time and time again, starting with #postgresql would just make life easier. If at some point you need to scale beyond PostreSQL, you are an enviable success story.

The DeepSeek R1 meltdown is impressive to watch. The democratization of top-tier models and the cratering of training cost has opened thousands of opportunities.
Why o3-mini *had* to be free: the coming DeepSeek R1, 2.0 Flash, and Sky-T1 Price War
2025's biggest surprise so far: Reasoning is less of a moat than anyone thought.

It's easy to lose sight of the fact that, from a tech perspective, we're absolutely living in the future. Our CEO and co-founder @apenwarr.ca looks at just how powerful our modern machines are — and what that means for all of us
Living in the future, by the numbers
Instead of making the traditional New Year predictions, let’s talk instead about the beautiful technological future we live in: the one that exists right now but we don’t always notice.

Combining Parts 1 and 2, I show how easy it is to fully fine-tune ModernBERT with a Classifer task objective to predict UMLS concepts from radiology text.

Great to see UUIDv7 support landing in the upcoming PostgreSQL 18. Monotonicity for orderable IDs is hugely beneficial: improved index performance and work in distributed systems.

Few years ago, many radiologists thought AI was like mammography CAD—a fleeting fad. But AI isn’t CAD; it’s speech transcription—a tool so essential it will become invisible.

Unfortunately I don't have four spare 4090s laying around. I'll keep playing on Colab for now.

Great read on 🤗 transformers -- I've been working through the code over the holidays.

Amazing to see the advancements in the #NLP world since 2018 and how easy #HuggingFace has made it to use and customize hundreds of models.
