Where is the Cursor for SQL?
CoQuery is a minimal vibe-coded SQL playground powered by SQLite WASM and Google Gemini language models. There is no backend, everything is in the webpage frontend.

I decided to vibe code a quick "CSE 3241 Game Show" using Claude Artifacts and Gemini to help students study for their finals. I was very pleasantly surprised by how easy the process is. Figured I'd share the process, and some design principles I used! www.linkedin.com/pulse/vibe-c...

ok this is pretty cool. #TBDBITL on ice (via @espn.com, who doesnt seem to post videos here?) @bsky.app please make it easier for publishers to post!
Noticed that students call ChatGPT just "Chat".
Also noticed that OpenAI does own chat.com !
This came up during a class discussion. Apple **has** launched a dedicated social network before. In 2010, iTunes Ping was launched to build out a music-focused social network: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITunes_...
But really, what is the convergence state for all of this? Github automates prompt-to-repo, followed by PR-bots managing feature prioritization? PyPI predicts and curates packages from the future?
One of Apple's biggest missed opportunities is not moving fast enough with AppleScript / Automator / Shortcuts into the LLM universe. Imagine an App Store that says "we can't find you an app that does that, but <press here> to stitch one together".
Murat, it's not much warmer, but please come visit sometime!
Love it. I'm just thinking, the obvious product name would be Excel Multiverse
Oh man, would love to see ideas from prob. dbs make it in here as well! @okennedy@discuss.systems@bsky.brid.gy has a strong portfolio... odin.cse.buffalo.edu/research/ind... maybms.sourceforge.net
What if a spreadsheet cell could hold multiple values at the same time?
That's the idea behind Ambsheets, a project I've been working on w/ @geoffreylitt.com at @inkandswitch.com. It's a new spreadsheet that makes it easier for you to explore many possibilities simultaneously.

The current excitement about research agents (@emollick.bsky.social has great notes) reminded me of the portfolio of tools from Corpernic in the early 2000s, including a summarizer, a search aggregator, and a shopper.
Obviously the capabilities are wildly different, but the need has been around.
If I understand this correctly, Valve is a super outlier for the "revenue per employee" metric?
Apple: $2.4M
Microsoft: $1M
Netflix: $3M
Google: $1.6M
Valve: ***$14M*** ($5B / 336 employees)
A graph showing the number of people named Miles born per hour. It has grown exponentially since 1980.
In children per year, the US birth rate is at an all-time low, but in Miles’ per hour it’s at an all time high.
Nice post! Also -- when combined with survivorship bias-type data, there is a lot that is missed...

🔁@csail.mit.edu: Early Video of Jeff Bezos walking through the first office of Amazon.com Inc., featuring the "Programming Perl" camel book on a desk (Amazon was one of the biggest users of Perl / Mason for content generation.)
Every kid in the US learns of the Great Chicago Fire (2,112 acres) in school and how modern building codes & fire depts have made this impossible, yet both the 2023 Lahaina & the current Palisades Fire crossed 17,000 acres - 8x the size! I marked up a map of Chicago to compare.

OpenAI Sora notes.
- Performance: getting 5-10second videos within the minute of submitting, impressive.
- Quality: hard to iterate edits. They have remix and recut using existing video as seed, but it's at prompt level
- Composing: They have a composer mode, but there is a lot more that can be done
Working paper studying freelancers argues AI creates an "inflection point" for each job type.
Before that, AI boosts freelancer earnings (web devs saw a +65% increase). After, AI replaces freelancers (translators saw -30% drop). They suggest that once AI starts replacing a job, it doesn't go back.
Hi folks! I'm excited to be on BlueSky! I'm looking forward to posting about computer science research, ML, scientific advances, tasty food, nature, and making groan-worthy puns.
