Bryan and Adam were joined by Oxide colleague, Ben Naecker, to talk about OxQL--the Oxide Query Language we've developed for interacting with our metrics system. Yes, another query language, and, yes, we're DSL maximalists, but listen in before you accuse us of simple NIH!In addition to Bryan Cantrill and Adam Leventhal, our special guest was Oxide colleague, Ben Naecker.Some of the topics we hit on, in the order that we hit them:RFD 463: The Oxide Query LanguageGenAI podcast on the OxQL RFDRFD 125: Telemetry requirements and building blocksInfluxDBClickHouseSimon Willison: SQL Has Problems.

Full Episode
I'm sorry I'm being so weird.
With your pseudo podcast hosts?
With the auto-generated podcasts, it's mesmerizing. I can't stop. It's really weird. So Ben, I'm sorry. I was also sending Ben all these, obviously. Uh, you, you have now you've lost your, your gravitas voice. I don't know. I'm taking you a little less seriously right now. You get kind of back to, back to clown college.
It sounds like that's right. Yeah. I need to, uh, hang out with a bunch of germy kids again to, to get it back.
So to get it back. Um, So we, just to forgive the context before the context, the friend of the pod, Simon Wilson, had this blog entry that was on Hacker News describing this new feature from Google, from their Notebook LM, where they can generate podcasts from arbitrary material. And I've been entertaining myself by sending it RFDs and creating single podcast episodes on RFDs.
And they've just been super...
weird it's the only thing i mean that's that's my one word synopsis of them it's a very uncanny valley i don't know ben what do you think are you uh they get some things very right and other things very wrong and then there's those things in the middle which are wrong but you can't quite figure out why it's so weird or they just like slur the words in some strange way it's very it's very uncanny i agree
And they're very cheerful and they are very interested in promoting whatever document it is that you've put in front of them. They definitely believe whatever they've just read.
Lots of soundbites. Real, like, paid promotion kind of vibes. Like, you know, one of those paid promotions where, like, clearly the folks have, like, spent, like, half an hour figuring out what it's about, but not, like, three hours figuring out what it's about.
