I always liked nethack. This 42 year old marvel is one of the deepest adventure games ever made. It also looks like crap, at least out of the box.
GPT6 Astra made a headless version for me. You can now use its brain as a library or as mcp or via javascript library.

Doesn't matter if you like @dhh or not, you can't discredit what he's done in good faith.
I've created 3 distros, 2 of them grew to among the most utilized operating systems in the enterprise (CentOS and Rocky), if I can give credit where it is due, so can others.

SQL Server, why are you like this? After a month-long investigation after an upgrade of Remote Desktop Manager caused disconnections with SQL Server for Linux, we found the culprit: SqlConnection.PacketSize set to 8000 by default: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/do…

You can even network these boxes to build a small tower that can run the FULL DeepSeek AI model and run it locally! Imagine that: A half-terrabyte RAM available for VRAM for less than ten grand. Crazy. youtube.com/watch?v=-8k7jTF_…

Found my new PC 😍. Specs on the AMD Max+ 395 chip is insane. CPU is a close match for a M4 Pro (3K/20K Geekbench 6), but it can be configured with an insane 128GB of shared RAM for less than $2,000?! That would cost $4,800 and require a Mac Studio. Will be a beast for local AI!
Introducing our new product category, the Framework Desktop! This is a tiny, 4.5L machine with massive performance inside using AMD’s new Ryzen AI Max processors, an awesome machine for gaming, workstation, and AI crunching! Pre-orders are open now. frame.work/

It's 2025 and there are people still proposing terrible ideas for using blockchain databases.
Why would anyone want to use a P2P BFT database to track disease outbreaks? Just put it in a centralized DBMS. Oh wait, they already do that...
As a taxpayer and a blockchain enthusiast, I'd say let's balance the NIH budget to tackle diseases that have a significant impact on society. Maybe we can create a Web3-based platform to track disease outbreaks and fund research more efficiently? What do you think, @hubermanlab?

Today in SQL Server things that have been hilariously broken for 16 years:
If you 'force' a plan (using any method, including Plan Guides, Query Store, and Automatic Plan Correction) the resulting plan will have its query_hash overwitten by the query_plan_hash.
In other words, both plan hash and query plan hash will be given the query plan hash value. The real query hash value is simply lost 🤦♂️
This will break anything you have that uses query_hash for any purpose, including scripts and tools.
Example repro:
1. Create a table
2. Select from it
3. Capture the XML showplan for the select
4. Run the select again with the XML in a USE PLAN hint
Online demo at dbfiddle.uk/ASmaZcJ-
In that example, the resulting plan contains:
QueryHash="0x10D77A8E4F35F994"
QueryPlanHash="0x10D77A8E4F35F994"
Notice the identical hashes.
This bug affects SQL Server 2008 to 2022 CU16 inclusive.
Until Microsoft fix this (and backport it to 2008 🤣) any plans subject to 'forcing' will have an incorrect query hash🥳
Note: Only guided plan search is affected. Supplying individual query hints (except USE PLAN of course) in a plan guide (or via an equivalent feature) does not provoke this misbehaviour.
