I Don't Like LLMs
2 min read
I don't like LLMs I have a lot of mixed feelings about AI and LLM technology. Iâm fascinated by its effect on our profession, excited by the potential gains in productivity - and thus the products we could rapidly build. On the other hand, Iâm fearful of the damage AI might cause: agent swarms taking over our virtual and physical infrastructure, designing bio weapons. But, back on my first hand, L...
AI Safety Is Mostly a Sex Cult

Training a 4B model to produce 81% faster query plans than Postgres
48 min read
How good are query optimizers, really? Leis et al. asked this exact question in 2015. Then, they asked it again 10 years later. Despite an enormous body of research spanning a decade since their original exploration, they found that query optimizers continue to leave much to be desired. I was surprised when I first learned about this. A Postgres database should know everything about the stuff that...
