Trace linkage: connect the dots between your app traces and database queries

When an application request slows down, a trace can show a database call. Finding the database query behind it can be tedious, requiring you to switch between traces and database telemetry, as well as match timestamps or query text by hand.  In Grafana Cloud, the Database Observability app already provides a window into all of your database telemetry, including query samples, performance history, and explain plan. But what if you could jump from that database call in the trace straight to its qu

OpenAI seems to be silently re-enabling model training on Codex chats

None of us knowingly opted back in. You can check your settings here: https://chatgpt.com/settings/data-controls. Look for "Improve the model for everyone".
