Maintainer of sqlc here. Thanks for the kind words! I'm considering switching to the sqlx model of talking to a running database simply because trying to re-implement PostgreSQL internals has been a huge challenge. It works for most queries, but for the long tail of features, it's a losing battle.

Can you tell me why it's a non-starter for you?

We're in us-west-1 and seeing issues across Cloud Run, Cloud SQL, Cloud Storage and Compute Engine.

you'd be surprised, but there's actually a bunch of problems you can solve with something like this, as long as you have a safe place to run the generated code

Riza | San Francisco | Full-Time | System, Backend, and Full-Stack Engineers | https://riza.io

We provide isolated runtimes for executing untrusted code, mostly generated by LLMs. Our sandboxing is powered by a combination of WebAssembly, V8, and microVMs. Our customers do things like extract data from log lines at run time by asking claude-3-7-sonnet to generate a parsing function on-the-fly and then sending it to us for execution.

Things we need help with:

- Our API (https://docs.riza.io/) (Postgres / Go)

- Our account dashboard (Postgres / Go / React / TypeScript)

- Our code execution engine (Go / Rust)

- New products including code generation workflows (Anthropic / OpenAI experience a plus)

We’ve raised seed money, but the whole company is currently just me, Andrew and David working out of a converted warehouse on Alabama St. We’re second-time founders, so we know the risk we’re asking you to take and we’re prepared to compensate accordingly.

Remote MCP servers are still in a strange space. Anthropic updated the MCP spec about a month ago with a new Streamable HTTP transport, but it doesn't appear that Claude supports that transport yet.

When I hooked up our remote MCP server, Claude sends a GET request to the endpoint. According to the spec, clients that want to support both transports should first attempt to POST an InitializeRequest to the server URL. If that returns a 4xx, it should then assume the SSE integration.

Did a crazy thing and adopted Bazel for our two person company. Took a while to get everything working, but the average build takes about 30 seconds to run, across Go / Rust / TypeScript.

This is just a limitation of the wasmtime CLI. The full Rust API let's you mount filesystems as read-only. Not sure why it's not exposed as an argument.

wasmtime works as long as you make sure to include the lib directory

    % wasmtime run --dir .::/ python.wasm -c 'print("hello world")'
    hello world 

disclaimer: I run a code execution API service (https://riza.io/playground) that does this and more (HTTP, packages, etc.)

Make sure you're looking at the new schedules (https://www.caltrain.com/media/33909) which go into effect on September 21 of this year. The slowest trips between SF and Sunnyvale are ~65 minutes and the fastest is ~50 minutes.

I'm curious how this performs compared to River https://riverqueue.com/ https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38349716

> I would think a much less explodey way of shimming out untrusted code would be an in-memory filesystem so things blow up less

Filesystem access is the first item on our roadmap (https://docs.riza.io/reference/roadmap). If you want to see it in action, try opening /src/code.py. While adding an in-memory filesystem would be easy, we want to make it usable for reading and writing potentially large files.

> I guess put another way: who is the target audience for this?

Our customers are using our API to run LLM-generated code, build plugin systems, and power customer-defined data transformations.

In this case, a HTTP API is the abstraction. Integrating with ACH and other payment rails requires a lengthy integration process. Sometime you have to send binary files using FTP!

I understand that California High Speed Rail isn't a popular project on HN, but to claim that it hasn't broken ground is just wrong. There are numerous completed structures and a clear plan to get high-speed trains running from Merced to Bakersfield by 2030.

GearLab uses the same model as Consumer Reports. No sponsored content, they buy all the products themselves, etc.

They already have! Connect (https://github.com/bufbuild/connect-web) is what you're looking for, as it's grpc-web compatible.

WellsFargo has some form of OAuth (https://developer.wellsfargo.com/). I know that YNAB (https://www.youneedabudget.com/) uses it.

This landing page includes a pet peeve: zero-context social proof.

It's great to know that Microsoft, Docker, and Facebook use OCaml. Buy do they use it seriously? The industrial users (https://ocaml.org/industrial-users) page links directly the company websites. Only two logos from the home page have case studies. Don't just tell me that Microsoft uses OCaml, tell me how!

Surprisingly, the proposed bill exempts gyms and health clubs, which have some of the worst cancellation policies.

Not for me, but I wrote a small program that emails my dad the New York Times crossword every day so that he can print it out. He could just log into the website and print it, but email is so much easier for him.

Was torn between submitting this or the Twitter thread announcing the launch, which can be found here: https://twitter.com/playdate/status/1483905526652026886

While this is true, remember that the Signal Foundation was started with a sizeable investment from their new interim CEO Brian Acton.

> In February of 2018, Acton invested $50 million of his own money to start the Signal Foundation alongside Moxie Marlinspike > > https://signalfoundation.org/en/

He's worth at least a billion dollars, so one imagines that Signal will continue as long as he's involved.

> probably has reasons for doing so

Probably not. They do credits for movies of all sizes. If you're doing a small student film, do you really want to think about the order of your credits? This gives you a great default choice.
