Just ran into a funny test bug w/ my english colleague @samwillis.uk — his test with getDate worked because he lives in GMT but broke for me. #britishTimePrivilege 😂

LLMs are generating code. That code is imperatively fetching data. That leads to a big ball of spaghetti. Here's how to untangle it: electric-sql.com/blog/2025/04...

*Imagine being the head of a G7 country and reading this screed "Yeah, he's in great shape, we better trust him and do whatever he says"

Using @electric-sql.com to keep users and agents in sync.

Oh okay that makes sense

I've never seen a multi-user AI chat — why? LLM token streaming is 1-way, directly to the user. Streaming through a sync engine solves that and lets any number of people/devices to see the same AI output electric-ai-chat.examples.electric-sql.com

AI apps are inherently collaborative between users and agents. You can't just have the agent state in the cloud. You need to keep the users in the loop. That means you need to build them on sync. electric-sql.com/blog/2025/04...

hello real-time hugely scalable sync straight outta postgres

📣 Electric Cloud is in public BETA! It takes just 30 seconds to add your Postgres db and start syncing to millions. Head over to dashboard.electric-sql.cloud to start syncing.

This Senate bill to slap limits on the president’s tariff power now has SEVEN Republican sponsors: • Grassley • Moran • Murkowski • McConnell • Tillis • Young • Collins

I'm listening to an old Orbital song and it has a sample that sounds almost exactly like the discord notification sound 😅

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

In another blow to legacy media, I'm hearing that the Trump administration plans to remove The Atlantic from its war-plans group chat. The outlet will be replaced in the chat by the Gateway Pundit.

Woman at the window of a bare, clean house. Who is outside? Child, ghost, spirit? Friendly, frightening? You say. By Jacob Vrel, whose day is today.

We've fixed a ton of bugs and perf issues and the server is now a tight compact neuron star of sync. Next up is electric cloud public beta, optimistic UI and streaming joins!

It's an exciting day for @electric-sql.com - we've published v1 of our sync engine 🎉🚀 It's been a lot of work from an awesome team, that I'm so proud to be part of, to get here! The API is stable, and has been running at scale in production for a few months 🥳

Electric is now in GA! 🚀 Check out the 1.0 release post here: electric-sql.com/blog/2025/03... The APIs are stable and we're is ready for mission critical, production apps. Super excited to see what you build with Electric now it's hit 1.0!

I'm pleased to announce the third year of the Summer of Protocols program. This issue of Protocolized contains a full program overview and several grant and prize opportunities. Please circulate widely, especially to educators and SF writers. protocolized.summerofprotocols.com/p/sop-2025-a...

Some days you just wanna give up , let everything go and follow the light inside of a red cabbage

Released a new Phoenix library for real-time sync hexdocs.pm/phoenix_sync at @codebeam.bsky.social yesterday. Check it out if you’re interested in building modern, real-time apps on local-first / sync in Elixir. #myelixirstatus

Peter Navarro: “Canada has been taken over by Mexican cartels” Big if true

Quite the merry company here (w/ their dogs). But is sleeping old woman their chaperone, or a procuress? How innocent is all this fun? From Jan Verkolje, born OTD 1650.

Supporters Praise Trump For Upholding Traditional American Value Of Supporting Murderous Dictators For Political Gain

Trump's press conference with Zelensky really makes it feel official, at least for our foreign policy. We're not on the side of liberal democracies. Things are going to get really fucking bad.

AI coding trick — find related libraries and put all their test files into Claude to make a list of everything they test for and then tell the AI IDE to also make similar tests for your library.

D2TS enables really powerful streaming joins, aggregations, etc. and will be powering a lot of Electric features in the future! This is an early preview but very cool tech. First Typescript implementation of Differential Dataflow afaik.

It's going to be fun!

It takes about 3 years to experience the consequences of your own technical decisions. swizec.com/blog/depth-t...

This. AI agents are local-first clients. Sync is the best way to build modern apps but it’s also the only realistic way to build AI agents — which need locally synced data for low latency inference.

We are in rapid descent toward Putin's Russia, where you have to do business with regime allies or face persecution

If someone ever makes a documentary about @electric-sql.com they should name it "Straight Outta Postgres"

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

This video is a great dive into building a local first app & the journey @t3.gg took to choosing Dexie + MySQL. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gVB... @electric-sql.com is perfect for syncing into Dexie from a Postgres backend 🐘 Being "protocol first" (http+json), you can use anything for the client store.
