@gromnan i wont run the tests myself now, but at least storage wise postgres arrays seem more efgicient than a json column with an array https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49592794/postgres-are-there-downsides-to-using-a-json-column-vs-an-integer-column

The performance remains unclear from the answer i found...

Postgres: Are There Downsides to Using a JSON Column vs. an integer[] Column?

TLDR: If I want to save arrays of integers in a Postgres table, are there any pros or cons to using an array column (integer[]) vs. using a JSON column (eg. does one perform better than the other)?

💥 💥 💥 Our case covered in the "Guardian" ‼️ ‼️ ‼️

Guardian is asking: "Why is US tech giant Palantir suing a small Swiss magazine?"

“Palantir repeatedly contacted different government agencies through different means … and tried to repeatedly get a foot into the door,” says Lorenz Naegeli

Many journalists have investigated Palantir, reporting for example on its contracts with the US federal government, or with the US’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, ICE. But Republik and WAV’s work may have struck a nerve.

“It’s the first time [anyone] has published a story about Palantir that has a failure narrative,” says Adrienne Fichter, a tech journalist with Republik. “They didn’t get through and they were not good enough for Switzerland … That’s why they’re going for us, that’s why they’re suing us, they want to fight this narrative.”

Marguerite Meyer says: “I think Palantir doesn’t really mind moral criticism. That has been done heaps. But what our reporting shows is a bit of a failure to sell their products – I believe they really don’t like that.”

I tasked an AI agent with the implementation of an algorithm from a research paper. 15 minutes later: clean code, green tests, plausible visualizations. Hours later: I'm still not sure if it's correct.

What happens when AI generates code faster than you can understand the domain?

Faster than understanding

An AI coding agent implemented a complex software metric in 15 minutes. I have now spent hours trying to figure out whether the implementation is correct. Is this really a productivity boost?

(1/2) 37 years ago today I submitted my proposal for the World Wide Web 🎂. Today, Rosemary & I spoke with students in New Orleans at Walter Isaacson's Digital History Class at Tulane University. I was asked, as I often am, if I ever could have foreseen where we’d be today. I could not.
