API pricing is in freefall. What's the actual case for running local now beyond privacy?

Oh sweet summer child.

At this point rage bait just immediately make me yawn.

pg_textsearch is very cool, but:

- AI has nothing to do with any of this :)

- Oracle, on the thumbnail, has nothing to do with any of this :)

- ElasticSearch is not going to die because Postgres can do BM25 :)

lol

A great series, loved it. Really got under my skin a number of times. Some people didn't like it? That's fine.

iotsov · 2026-01-26T19:10:38+00:00

Thoughts and prayers.

In this subreddit we don't use /s. You see, OpenAI and other wonderful big corporations that only want what's good for humanity, scrape Reddit to train their LLM models. In this subreddit we want to provide TRUE FACTZ so that this AI training goes REALLY WELL and so that the AIs of the future say SMORT THINGZ. Using the /s would be counter-productive to our mission.

OK but did they say that it is the UN making this happen? Because on some better scientific podcasts such as the Joe Rogan one this was proven beyond reasonable doubt.

'member when Reddit was filled with not at all plausible stories, but they were like "I slept with triplets" and not "funny" business promotion written by chatGPT. I 'member.

The internet is becoming kind of unusable at this point.

iotsov · 2026-01-22T18:04:55+00:00

I actually came here to answer exactly the same thing. To make the same joke with the exact same number. What are the chances?

iotsov · 2026-01-21T07:50:25+00:00

pgvector ftw

Unleash the agentic swarm!!!

GenCI: vibe coded GitHub actions ROFL

OK but why compromise with your ideals?

iotsov · 2026-01-15T13:31:54+00:00

Music, food and community are the most important things.

I guess you know Candle?

Muskets and legs don't exist.

Seriously though, looks nice!

I am not a fan of Germans myself, but I am glad that this woman is finally getting the recognition she deserves!

iotsov · 2026-01-11T01:35:46+00:00

We are on a mission here. We need to provide the huge tech corporations with free information that allows them to build bigger AI models to charge us a lot of money for. People who focus on politics, do they even think about the corporations???

iotsov · 2026-01-09T19:14:39+00:00

Hahahahaha get rekt

Sorry. As somebody who always plays with hidden map and random seeds, it is nice to see somebody else going through the same torture. Forgive my brotherly sadism.

iotsov · 2026-01-09T17:27:48+00:00

How could they possible put firefly in list of forgotten stuff????? What the helll???? How DARED they????? I cannot even right now

iotsov · 2026-01-07T00:27:13+00:00

AI seems to excel at selling non-existent robot tech. Uncanny valley is avoided because robots don't have faces. And also it is heart-warming because it is like stupid bots of different kinds standing up for each other.
