iamdanieljohnson Announcing the Beta release of ty

The guy behind Zuban should've put his project out the in open way earlier. I'd love to see both projects succeed, but in reality it should become one.

iamdanieljohnson GPT-5.2

Why have "light" or "low" thinking then? I've mentioned this before in other places, but there should only be "none," "standard," "extended," and maybe "heavy."

Extended and heavy are about raising the floor (~25% and ~45% or some other ratio respectively) not determining the ceiling.

iamdanieljohnson GPT-5.2

Is Adaptive Reasoning gone from GPT-5.2? It was a big part of the release of 5.1 and Codex-Max. Really felt like the future.

iamdanieljohnson OpenAI's First Fear

I recently wrote an article exploring how OpenAI's fear of public perception has shaped their decisions and branding. It breaks down OpenAI’s actions, especially on May 13, 2024, and how their naming decisions and hesitation reveal a deeper fear of public perception.

iamdanieljohnson Pg_bm25: Elastic-Quality Full Text Search Inside Postgres

iamdanieljohnson Pg_bm25: Elastic-Quality Full Text Search Inside Postgres

Seems really really cool. Is this a full DB, as in they have to take PG source, put in tantivy and their sauce, compile, and distribute? Or is this an extension? If it's the latter, what's the point of putting DB at the end of the name?
