The argument goes something like this: you already have Postgres, vector embeddings are just another data type, why add complexity with a dedicated vector database when you can keep everything in one place? It’s a compelling story. And like most of the AI influencer bullshit that fills my timeline, it glosses over the inconvenient details. I’m not here to tell you pgvector is bad. It’s not.

For example some URLs needing to be fast, steady, predictable and burst-ready; but the same app has some other URLs that are slower and less performance-friendly. You don't want those slow endpoints to also be slowing down the faster endpoints by occupying workers and causing request queueing:On the new MacOS 26 (Tahoe), Apple has mandated that all application icons fit into their prescribed squircle. No longer can icons have distinct shapes, nor even any fun frame-breaking accessories. Should an icon be so foolish as to try to have a bit of personality, it will find itself stuffed into a dingy gray icon jail.
a p50 (average) request time that looks pretty reasonable... but a p95 that's much worse and erratic [...] and a support channel that pings for performance issues when there seemingly aren't any [...] CPU saturation is nonexistent and database resources look boring, but request queue time (the metric that matters) spikes randomly and p95s are all over.The solution: run a second instance of the production app. Same codebase, deployment branch, envvars. But running on a separate subdomain and separate infrastructure. Then route requests for your predictable, latency-sensitive URLs to the first instance (the fast path) and route requests for the messier stuff to the second instance (the heavy and volatile path). When those slower requests are no longer sharing resources with tthe faster requests then the faster requests are no longer waiting behind the slower ones. A complication is that you do need to change the URLs of those messier endpoints over to the second subdomain. If these endpoints are serving API requests from clients you control or something like that then it's no problem. If they're serving user-facing HTML pages at URLs you don't want to change that might be an issue. (If you're happy to change those HTML page URLs then you may just need the original URLs at the first subdomain to serve up HTTP redirects to the new URLs at the second subdomain. If you don't want to change the user-facing URLs a solution might be for the original URL to still be served at the first domain but it just serves up a page containing a full-screen iframe for a URL at the second domain. That way you don't break any links out there in the wild and users never see the second domain in their browser's location bar.) 2025-11-09T05:47:01Z building an analog week calendar with a deck of cards [https://benjaminhollon.com/musings/card-calendar/]Before I jump in, I do want to make a quick note about how I order the suits of cards; for this calendar, I’m using English alphabetical order, with clubs (first in alphabetical order) as lowest and spades (last in alphabetical order) as highest: ♣♦♥♠2025-11-09T05:47:01Z {cards calendars dates weeks} News - New gel restores dental enamel and could revolutionise tooth repair - University of Nottingham [https://www.nottingham.ac.uk/news/new-gel-restores-dental-enamel-and-could-revolutionise-tooth-repair] Discover the breakthrough gel technology for restoring dental enamel.

These are usually acknowledged the next day, described vaguely as “in international waters,” with no coordinates. I’ve been experimenting with NASA’s VIIRS thermal anomaly feed (FIRMS) to see if any of these events are visible as they happen. https://preview.redd.it/xudkavdw0jzf1.png?width=1200&format=png&auto=webp&s=15582a6952deb90dcf9d014a4173b0c523ebd987 On Oct 27, a single daytime VIIRS hotspot appears at 14.0387° N, 106.4606° W, which is roughly 415 nautical miles southwest of Acapulco. It’s the only ocean pixel in that sector for the entire week. Mexico’s subsequent statements referenced search and rescue ~400 nm SW of Acapulco after that day’s operations. The geometry lines up almost perfectly. https://preview.redd.it/z4nk46ox0jzf1.png?width=1200&format=png&auto=webp&s=95de0ab7a01b5688f687cf439e52af6be6f26f99 Why I think this specific detection is the Oct 27 strike: the public footage released by the U.S. shows a large explosion with an ongoing flame in daylight—exactly the type of surface combustion a daytime VIIRS pass can catch. The spot is far from known offshore platforms or refinery flare fields, and I filtered out land fires and industrial sources before scanning. I’m ~90% confident this pixel is the Oct 27 event. https://preview.redd.it/hnryod1z0jzf1.png?width=1200&format=png&auto=webp&s=d5c97138b50056839cd0689503b9f05920427e54 If you want to replicate: set FIRMS to VIIRS 375 m, date 2025-10-27, pan to the Eastern Pacific off Mexico, and you’ll see the detection with its timestamp and FRP. Measure from Acapulco and you’ll get ~415 nm. It does not recur on adjacent days at that exact location, which argues against a persistent industrial source. None of this claims intent; it’s simply “thermal anomaly consistent with a fire” in the precise place and time later described by authorities. The interesting part is methodological: with FIRMS alone—no paid feeds—you can narrow vague “international waters” language to a concrete lat/lon box in near-real time. That has obvious implications for open-source monitoring and for how quickly journalists and analysts can geolocate future incidents. I’m happy to hear counter-arguments—e.g., alternative explanations for a one-off daytime ocean pixel at those coordinates—but based on the match to the reported location, the unique nature of the detection, and the daylight, high-energy fire profile, I think this one’s a hit. https://preview.redd.it/bsmhlrm11jzf1.png?width=480&format=png&auto=webp&s=c7db45f505fc502a5915041d63973f37e33de191 disclaimer: i run a website that tracks pentagon pizza deliveries and other fun alt-data for geopolitics + OSINT. we just integrated this thermal anomaly data here: pizzint.watch/polyglobe https://preview.redd.it/lxnipd731jzf1.png?width=1200&format=png&auto=webp&s=02e50262cae176d30b516e123dfc0df31a204828 2025-11-09T05:47:01Z {osint war politics government maps} RostislavDugin/postgresus: PostgreSQL backup tool [https://github.com/RostislavDugin/postgresus] Free, open source and self-hosted solution for automated PostgreSQL backups.
