I know it sa toy, but if someone gets the bright idea to do this for real: please learn from npm and dont duplicate packages for every clone of a project. Share them between projects like every sane package manager.

My beef with etcd is that its neither performant nor reliable. Its very much {reliable, performant, flexible} pick none.

I mean its capex vs opex, assuming a 5 year deprecation period thats 1.2 million isnt too bad, its 10% of their aws spend.

If you architect properly it doesn’t necessarily follow that more features means more attacks, or certainly not more system wide attacks. If you layer and segment correctly you can build atop a secure core and have some decent security.

AMD had an interesting take on this around a decade ago. Never went anywhere but very cool tech.

Reddit doesnt work because subreddits crosspolinate and float to the top so theyre rather prone to brigading and intermingling. We don't really get distinct subreddits anymore.

I think models will be a commodity sooner rather than later. This whole race doesnt matter. First mover advantage is real, but over enough time it wont matter.

It probably means they’re close enough that there’s no observable difference. Or better at every different things.

Yes. Make sure you’re not using the Gemma sparse models since they don’t have a small model to use. Also I removed all the image models from the workspace.

I knew a guy who worked on it tell me actions is just literally a fork from Azure Devops. Which is why it never really fit into GitHub.

I think for the same model wall time is probably a more intuitive metric; at the end of the day what you’re doing is renting GPU time slices. Large outputs dominate compute time so are more expensive. IMO input and output token counts are a

its mostly because MCPs handle auth in a standardised way and give you a framework you can layer things like auth, etc on top of. Without it youre stuck with the basic http firewall, etc which is extremely dangerous and this is maybe the 1

The cool thing is you can host your own node with its own rules; you should host an anonymous server and you can set the rules.

I think if people had a use case for it they’d buy more of the damn things. Right now I’d never need a device separate from my spouse since I just don’t need one. Make is useful and buyers will come. The never had issues selling multiple ma

Speed would be nice, but more than that I want it to also manage Ruby installs. I’m infuriated at the mess of Rubys and version managers.

Voting can be coordinated between the N cpus rather than an external arbiter (even making that redundant eventually required the CPUs to decide what to do if they disagree so may as well handle it internally).

Honestly. We used dex. It worked pretty well.

Ruby is a language that optimizes for the local maxima at the cost of the global maxima. Now every library, company or code base has its own pattern and you have to learn its pit falls. Better to learn once, cry once and just deal with it i

eh. Ruby makes it easy to do the wrong thing. imo.

It’s another step in the right direction. These things take time.

Connection pooling has its own severe downsides in Postgres. Considering how limited we are by connection counts.

That was the whole concept behind KCP iirc. It was designed to provide tenancy atop 1 or more clusters.

Types don’t explain intent or gotchas. They’re also useful, but you need both.

While i think Latex is fantastic, i think there is plenty of low hanging fruit to improve upon it... the ergonomics of the language and its macros aren't great. If nothing else there should be a better investment in tooling and ecosyst

Having a reproducible dev environment is great when everyone’s laptop is different and may be running different OSes, libraries, runtimes, etc. Also docker has the network effect. If there was a good light weight tool that was better enough

There are extraordinarily highly paying semi firms in the US, but neither Intel nor AMD fit that mould unfortunately. I’ve never understood why that’s the case; they are also high leverage jobs where a few can do extraordinary work and be r

I appreciate everything they’ve done but the group which maintains Pip and the package index is categorically incapable of shipping anything at a good velocity. It’s entirely volunteer based so I don’t blame them, but the reality is that it
