I'm forever recommending @raycast.com to folk, so I took the time to write down quite _why_ it's probably the best thing since sliced bread.

A fun few hours with Cursor, neo4j, and Cytoscape analysing astroturfing and sock-puppet accounts on Reddit.
Common pattern of a handful of accounts posting 'questions', and then another comments on it.
Maybe an attempt at seeding LLMs, which scrape Reddit?

One for my DBA friends! A very good talk from @andypavlo.bsky.social, looking at how LLMs can _actually_ be used to help improve performance. It's measured and reasonable, with plenty of caveats and real-world considerations from someone who _really_ gets RDBMS.
