An Update on Heroku 6 months ago

We had an enterprise account on Heroku. We invested a little in Dokku and moved to self host it as of a few months ago.

We now have a kubernetes (k3s) backed Dokku self hosted on Hetzner. Significantly cheaper but pretty robust.

Just saying that it's not literally, but you are right, most people wouldn't be interested in self hosting.

In Tehran 6 months ago

They are not. It's the eastern imperialists that are causing this. And if it's a choice between eastern imperialists (China and Russia) and western ones, it seems that Iranian people by far prefer the western ones.

For three main reasons.

1. Culturally Iranians are way more aligned with west.

2. Western imperialism results in more democracy. Not 100%, but not this bad.

3. Economically countries under west's influence do much better. Iran is extremely poor right now.

If it was about GDP it'd have "some" moral defense: That this leads to overall wealth growth of the population.

But it's not about GDP. It's about shareholder value which is absolutely not representative of the whole population.

Extreme greed is now part of US social contract, top to bottom, and has driven the whole society to madness sadly.

Code Is Clay 6 months ago

It's funny how it went from "everything needs to be strongly typed" and "even C++ isn't enough we need Rust for everything" to this...

A good chunk of our profession is just hype-followers at this point.

I dont think people realize how important this is.

If one of the vendors manages to get their protocol to become the target platform (eg oai and app sdk), that is essentially their vendor lock in to become the next iOS/Android.

Private API’s or EEE strategies are gonna be something to keep an eye for and i wish regulators would step in to prevent them before its too late.

Oh you're misunderstanding MCP here.

MCP was created so llm companies can have a plugin system. So instead of them being the API provider, they can become the platform that we build apps/plugins for, and they become the user interface to end consumers.

I see a lot of negative comments here but to me, it was obvious this is where OAI should land.

They want to be the platform in which you tell what you want, and OAI does it for you. It's gonna connect to your inbox, calendar, payment methods, and you'll just ask it to do something and it will, using those apps.

This means OAI won't need ads. Just rev share.

As a Jew I cannot be more ashamed.

The sad part is that these "Israel Supporters" don't realize they've destroyed Israel in the process.

For 2 reasons:

1. Most young Americans, in both parties, are sickened by this. Next generations of Americans are not gonna support Israel anymore and the US support for Israel is the only security Israel has. In 20 years Israel will be left alone between all the countries that they once had a chance to make peace with, but decided to wage war against.

2. Israel is gonna deteriorate and become another authoritarian regime like the rest of of the Middle East. The ultra orthodox population grows and it's simply not gonna be a democratic state anymore.

So yes, go ahead, commit a genocide/ethnic cleansing (whatever you name it) in the name of a country that you destroyed in the process.

I wish I wasn't their excuse for all this.

People on our circles are obsessed with model performance. OpenAI's lead is not there and hasn't been there for some time.

They do, however, have a major lead in terms of consumer adoption. To normal people who use llm's, ChatGPT is _the_ model.

This gives them a lot of opportunities. I don't know what's taking them so long to launch their own _real_ app store, but that's the game they are ahead of everyone else because of the consumer adoption.

Well, that's why REST api's exist. You don't expose your database to your clients. You put a layer like REST to help with authorization.

But everyone needs to have an MCP server now. So Supabase implements one, without that proper authorization layer which knows the business logic, and voila. It's exposed.

Code _is_ the security layer that sits between database and different systems.

I've heard this argument again but just because you can hail a Waymo through Uber doesn't mean Uber can continue as-is. In a world where Uber is just the app, Uber's margins would be extremely thin and it wouldn't justify the market price it has now.

Also, why would Waymo, in the long term, use Uber for this?

They have the car, the driver, the app/software. They are not gonna share a big chunk of the profit with Uber in long term. The current partnership is probably just a tactical thing for both, not a strategic one.

Why is Uber's price not affected by Waymo is a puzzle to me.

I use Waymo's all the time. There are still some quirks they need to figure out and polish the experience, but it really is happening and it appears that Uber's head is in the sands or I'm missing something here.

Heroku Is Down 1 year ago

Our Enterprise Account manager was denying there's an issue. Claiming it's only us, I should open up a ticket, etc.

The biggest advantage of this is for the llm providers like OAI not application developers.

LLM's are brains with no tools (no hands, legs, etc).

When we use tool calling we use them to empower the brain. But using normal API's the language model providers like OpenAI have no access to those tools.

With MCP they do. The brain they create can now have access to a lot of tools that the community builds directly _from_ llm, not through the apps.

This is here to make ChatGPT/Claude/etc _the gateway_ to AI rather than them just being API providers for other apps.
