DataFusion wasn’t a fit because it doesn’t do external indexes. But why not extend it?

We actually tried to extend DataFusion at first but ultimately decided against it since we can get most of the value by using Arrow and its compute kernels directly. DataFusion also executes filters in a way that rebuilds the underlying arrays (data copy) and requires strict schema, which is not a good fit for our schemaless document-oriented model. In the end, switching from DataFusion to Reactor gave us 3x better latencies.

This is awesome! I've been trying ChatGPT in a macOS bar, but it felt too unwieldy. I see a lot of potential in having GPT directly in my day-to-day flow.

Here's a similar one that I build few years back. It forces you to wait specified number of seconds before visiting a website. That way you break the dopamine cycle.

breaking the dopamine cycle requires a bigger effort because it must include phone browsing and notifications, there is a good video about it at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QiE-M1LrZk

Thanks for the link. Turning off notifications and using greyscale mode certainly helps as well.
