Surprised how little comment this post has, this is an insane improvement.

I've been using Electric SQL but Automerge 3.0 seems to be the holy grail combining local first approach to CRDT?

Wondering if I should ditch Electric SQL and switch to this instead. I'm just not sure what kind of hardware I need to run a sync server for Automerge and how many users reads/writes it can support.

ElectricSQL is pretty good too but its still not quite there and implementing local first means some features related to rollback are harder to apply.

I'm still very new to this overall but that 10x memory boost is welcome as I find with very large documents the lag used to be very noticeable.

The performance improvements are impressive:

> In Automerge 3.0, we've rearchitected the library so that it also uses the compressed representation at runtime. This has achieved huge memory savings. For example, pasting Moby Dick into an Automerge 2 document consumes 700Mb of memory, in Automerge 3 it only consumes 1.3Mb!

> Finally, for documents with large histories load times can be much much faster (we recently had an example of a document which hadn't loaded after 17 hours loading in 9 seconds!).

How is this better than using Pi-hole to do the same? It can also run in an allow only mode as I understand.

Nice idea. But it needs to be harder for me to reverse. I think I would very quickly develop the reflex of disabling WiFi on my phone so it loads the site via mobile data.

Congrats on publishing!

It seems like a very polished and better integrated version of https://www.when2meet.com/.

You say you do not collect info. Are you saving the meeting details and availability in a database?

> Google can't as easily burn money

I was actually surprised at Google's willingness to offer Gemini 2.5 Pro via AI Studio for free; having this was a significant contributor to my decision to cancel my OpenAI subscription.

I work at USDS (at least as of 11:49 AM - not fired yet!).

What on earth are you talking about? Ban and censor? Ban from what, and how? And censor? This is the government, not Facebook or Twitter/X etc.

This idea that the federal government is both incompetent and at the same time conspiratorial and all up in everyone’s business is nuts.

Thank you for your service!

How many from USDS are left after this group of resignations?

How does Congress ceding power work? Is there a due process for this? Or do they just sit back and chill?
mikehotel · 6 months ago
By the majority in Congress voting to block any attempts to challenge the executive branch.

Judges are acting to stay executive orders, but judicial processes are deliberately slow and the current administration seated several current Supreme Court judges.

Civil disobedience and mass unrest seems inevitable when the rule of law and balance of powers is systemically undermined.
