Kuzu is an embedded graph database built for query speed and scalability. It is optimized for handling complex join-heavy analytical workloads on very large graphs, with the following core feature set: Property Graph data model and Cypher query language Embedded (in-process) integration with applications Columnar disk-based storage Columnar, compressed sparse row-based (CSR) adjacency list/join indices Vectorized and factorized query processor Novel and very fast join algorithms Multi-core query parallelism Serializable ACID transactions
Interesting to see new graph databases, this one seems to be optimized for embedding, allowing for WASM apps to use graph technology.

I love coding with Cursor, it’s completely changed the way I code, but it’s also complete garbage a good deal of the time. So as an AI skeptic I’ll tell you everything I know to make your experience as good as possible
I’d not known about cursor rules before, seems really useful, but in spite of learning about them, I’ve been defaulting to using Claude Code so have not felt the need to dig into this yet.
I think that systems that require minimum configuration and setup will win out in the end.

A native macOS app that allows users to chat with a local LLM that can respond with information from files, folders and websites on your Mac without installing any other software. Powered by llama.cpp.
There are a crowd of tools now that want to take space on my desktop for interacting with LLMs.

They are not an exit door through which we can escape the human condition,
If you are a reader of this blog and you are at all fascinated with AI I implore you to read this piece. This is a critical and important piece to read. The connection between investment in AI, the DOGE agenda, over assuming outcomes when we are in an unclear future is threaded together so well here. I am optimistic about the future of AI, but I am worried about the overly simplistic approach that silicon valley takes towards wicked problems. These tools we create, all that we create, none of these creations can ever act to excuse us from our role as actors in the world, from our obligations to the future, and our obligations to each other.

AI can help generate diagrams in a fairly narrow case: whiteboarding new systems. However, creating system diagrams with AI is simply not there yet. The dream of auto-updating diagrams to match source code remains elusive.
A nicely written up overview of where AI is at the moment in terms of systems diagramming.
