  • Dupe of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49078196 which was posted a couple days ago, and then seemingly revived in second chance pool before getting flagged for obvious slop-tone.
  • OP, here thank you for comments and while I might not like it to be called LLM - I give up.
  • I'm surprised that Interbase/Firebird seems to be entirely omitted from this despite pioneering the MVCC approach.

  • OP here, I acctually had Firebird listed in some version of my draft, but had to make a natural cut somewhere.

    I have been meaning to write on this topic and in relation to LSM for a while. So, I appreciated that note on LSMs. There are no free ~lunches~ reads or writes.

  • I'm conflicted with this article. It does pack a lot of good information in there, and it's a useful comparison of the core difference between PostgreSQL and MySQL. But it still contains a lot of LLM-isms which are off putting and make me want to stop reading when I see them.
  • Same. It's really hard to fight the tic now where I just automatically close the tab when I get to the second or third thing, and it's only the first paragraph.

    Please, write your own prose.

  • OP here, thanks for the feedback. Just curious - anything specific? I spent long time getting to some sort of framework for my writing and being called LLM is my constant struggle.

    PS: I do use LLM for polish, etc.
