Why I'm building a note taking app without AI

The author explains why they chose to build Docket, a note-taking app without AI, emphasizing the value of active note taking—manually distilling key points from meetings to deepen understanding and memory, rather than relying on AI transcription and summarization. The author believes the real value lies in using one's own intelligence to distill important points in real time, something AI cannot replicate.

Simplify AI agent orchestration with Lakebase Postgres

This article describes how Databricks uses Lakebase Postgres to build a scalable, fault-tolerant task queue for AI agents without external infrastructure. Four native Postgres patterns enable concurrent priority-aware dequeuing, lease-based crash recovery, rate-limit-aware throttling, and idempotent callbacks. Real-time observability is achieved via LISTEN/NOTIFY and SSE. The architecture was proven in CLA's auditing solution, reducing document extraction time from hours to minutes.

Cursor Releases Cursor Router: A Request-Level Classifier Delivering Frontier Coding Quality at 30–50% Lower Cost

Cursor has made Cursor Router generally available for Teams and Enterprise plans. The system classifies each request on query, context, task complexity and domain, then routes it to the most suitable model. Cursor reports frontier-quality output at 60% savings in online A/B tests, and 30–50% savings for three early-access enterprise accounts measured against Opus 4.8 rates.
