I’m completely paranoid about claude messing with my .git folder so I push regularly

For the same reason, I run OpenCode under Mac's sandbox-exec command with some rules to prevent writes to the .git folder or outside of the project (but allowing writes to the .cache and opencode directories).

sandbox-exec -p "(version 1)(allow default)(deny file-write* (subpath \"$HOME\"))(allow file-write* (subpath \"$PWD\") (subpath \"$HOME/.local/share/opencode\"))(deny file-write* (subpath \"$PWD/.git\"))(allow file-write* (subpath \"$HOME/.cache\"))" /opt/homebrew/bin/opencode

What sort of issues do you get debugging?

My experience of .NET even from version 1 is that it has the best debugging experience of any modern language, from the visual studio debugger to sos.dll debugging crash dumps.

Not quite free for most people, we have to pay the prescription charge of about £12

Most dispensed _items_ are free of charge (as in, the prescription charge is not paid - only around ~11% of items are paid). There isn't enough data to know how that breaks down to people though.

Not in Northern Ireland weirdly, they have free prescriptions there

I’d imagine pretty much all of the s and p 500 companies rely on databricks, a large percentage of them at least

because it's recommended by nearly all consultants and Microsoft.

Simple as that, it's consulting Heaven. Much like SAS and SAP. Everybody happy. Now to be far to databricks, if used properly and ignore the cost, it does actually function pretty well. Compared to Synapse, PowerBI Tabular, Fabric, Azure ML, ... that's already a big big big step forward.

Databricks is janky, but so much better than the Azure services for data.

If you're buying from microsoft, it won't be cheap either way, might as well treat yourself a little bit.

Dont forget salesforce

Spark

I can’t help feeling it is the first major misstep from databricks , they are raising the money for their hosted Postgres and ai platform.

Ai is not far away from dropping to the “trough of disillusionment” and I can’t see why databricks even needs Postgres.

Hopefully I’m wrong as I’m a big fan of databricks.

Definitely seem like bad investments from my perspective on databricks.

Databricks is great at offering a "distributed spark/kubernetes in a box" platform. But its AI integration is one of the least helpful I've experienced. It's very interuptive to a workflow, and very rarely offers genuinely useful help. Most users I've seen turn it off, something databricks must be aware of because they require admins permission for users to opt out of AI.

I don't mean to rant, there's lots that is useful in databricks, but it doesn't seem like this funding round is targeting any of that.

>Most users I've seen turn it off, something databricks must be aware of because they require admins permission for users to opt out of AI.

This is a very worrying trend of having AI enabled by default that you cannot turn it off unless you're the admin.

First I've heard of this, but I don't work in tech. Absolutely insane behavior.

Yeah doesn’t seem like core functionality

Everybody wants a pie in that AI bubble, whether it sticks or not, and that's a bad thing for companies' long term vision.

It might come down like the dotcom bubble like fallout when this thing bursts.

The first major misstep? Brother they already raised A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H and I. At what point do you end the suffering?

My personal theory of startups starts with "Series F is for F*cked", I have no idea what it takes to get to a Series K...

Anyone investing is in a k hole

i don't think that it is possible to raise a 100 billion without name dropping ai in every sentence in every meeting you have with a potential investor....

They are not raising $100B, they are raising money at a valuation of $100B.

what is the investor thesis for coming in with such a multiple? You know they will have to find a a greater fool, possibly the public to buy at an even higher ratio to break any profit on that....

This isn't really venture investing at this point. The valuation risk calculation is very different for preferred shares than common stock, and with a healthy ARR they have very little risk (maybe not much profit, but it's not that different than a bond on some level...).

We don’t need to imagine, we can ask ChatGPT

Yeah, everyone knows LLMs excel at providing mathematically-sound answers to novel questions. :p

In the uk many people use illegal streams purely to watch 3pm premiership football matches - they are restricted from broadcast in the uk

I think Jetbrians Rider and vscode being “good enough” to stop Microsoft investing in another IDE for Mac

Have you considered that you can actually right click the start button, open a window, throw machine out of window? (I’ll get my coat!)(it’s cold out here collecting discarded pc’s)

Haha, ya I wouldn't ever recommend anyone behave the way I behave.
