SQLite 4.0 Release Notes: https://sw.vtom.net/hn35/pages/90098234.html

Another absolute gem:

    Columns now support "Vibe" affinity. If the data feels like an integer, it is stored as an integer.
    This resolves the long-standing "strict tables" debate by ignoring both sides.

Also:

    SQLite 4.0 is now the default bootloader for 60% of consumer electronics.
    The build artifacts include sqlite3.wasm which can now run bare-metal without an operating system.

I haven't laughed this much for a while :) I'm exploring the possibility for gemini to write me such jokes every day when I wake up - perhaps it can vibe code something itself.

This is brilliant. Well done.

And

  It is now the only software in the world still written in C89.

Hilarious.

But wait, there's more!

    > Predictive SELECT Statements:
    > Added the PRECOGNITION keyword.
    > SELECT * FROM sales WHERE date = 'tomorrow' now returns data with 99.4% accuracy by leveraging the built-in 4kB inference engine. The library size has increased by 12 bytes to accommodate this feature.

12 bytes really sounds like something that the lead dev would write!

I may live to see it; peak sqlite.

You are laughing. IBM has already been there, with DB2 having essentially been the OS on mainframes a few decades ago.

All of this has happened before. All of this will happen again.

So it's true, the profits have spoken of this!

Omg the Bloomberg/IBM article has so many Easter eggs

Suddenly, I have high hopes again for LLMs. Imagine you were a TV/film script writer and had writer's block. You could talk to an LLM for a while to see what funny ideas it can suggest. It is one more tool in the arsenal.
