Why are humans so obsessed with categorizing things?

Best take on AI I have heard yet. TLDR: AI is not the apocalypse. Lots of people are confused about how large language models work. It’s not a truth machine it’s a word machine. Creative content will be spoken into existence. The internet will lose whatever credibility it has left as a source of truth and that’s a good thing.

I apologize to my followers who followed me for the #OpenSourceDaily expecting a post every day. I’m already kinda bored of doing that. I will still post cool open source projects just not every day.

PostgreSQL is a database management system written in C with a custom license. It has become the database system of choice for many open source projects for good reason. In addition to standard features like transactions, user defined types, and subqueries, it includes many advanced features like replication, extensions and advanced json support. It runs on just about any operating system and there are easy to use docker images and community helm charts that can be scaled all the way up to enterprise use cases.

Had a lot of fun giving my “Intro to Nodes” presentation at the AZ Bitcoin Network meetup on Tuesday. Hopefully I converted a pleb or two into a node runner. I put a link to the PowerPoint below. My notes are in the comments section. https://public.welnick.net/IntroToNodes.pptx

git is a version control system written in C under the GNU General Public license V2. Most people probably know about git because it has supercharged the open source movement. It focuses on developer productivity with features like branching, stashing, merging and distributed publishing to different remotes. The cli has a bit of a learning curve for new developers but it is very powerful and extensible. Before git was popular lots of version control systems would enforce things like locking a file so that only one developer could check it out at a time. This would absolutely wreak havoc on productivity by forcing you to wait for somebody to check in the file you needed to update.
