Maybe they’re not selling this well. Maybe they’re so close to the AI research that this seems like an obviously good idea. But there’s not one word of why this is good for LLMs, or how they tested/measured that. My gut would tell me t

It’s actually great to see a living example of how sensitive users* are to what to a lay person would look like a small amount of downtime. The fact that we’re all talking about it, and not at all surprised, is a great example we can take w

As an industry we really need a better way to tell what’s going g where than: - someone finally reading the T&Cs - legal drafting the T&Cs as broadly as possible - the actual systems running at the time matching what’s in the T&

Ok, so far it sounds impressive. But I’ve seen a lot of similar claims - just open LinkedIn for a second - and I always come back to the same questions: - What value has been delivered? - How much did you spend?* - How long did it take _all

"My calendar is a true nightmare." Check "calendar systems suck. All of them." Double check "I’m trying to break off of big tech as much as I can" I wish I could check this more ... I've had similar needs

I've seen polylith over the years and it's always piqued my interest. I'm curious as to what has been built (by yourselves or others) in the 4 (?) years since its release. Have the experiences held up to the initial goals and

Congrats on the launch and hitting HN's front page. Do you mind if I ask how your example site (multiplayer.dev) scaled? I'm super curious about realtime multiplayer solutions (and I don't think I'm alone). But I find a

Interesting. Perhaps I misunderstood it. So is this roughly a kind of managed Keycloak/CAS setup? With it's own API/well managed client libraries?

I love the idea, and can definitely see the need. But I always come to the same question with services that provide auth and user management: You pay a lot of money for someone _else_ to own critical information about your customers. What

Don't knock it - if it works and only costs 3MB that's a win. The longer you can scale the product without having to scale the application, the better!

What kind of workflow and synchronization scripts? These sound like the kind of hidden costs that could turn sqlite's simplicity quite complicated if you don't see them coming.

I'd be interested to know what kind of corruption you were facing.

I only very briefly looked into rqlite. It's very interesting, but if I understand it correctly it's also not geared toward a write heavy workflow. (all writes are routed to the same node) I.e. it's leaning more toward the mo

That's a good counter-case to keep in mind, thank you. I guess the take away here is that this underscores that sqlite isn't for the 'large number of writers' scenario. p.s. > I didn't want to be the guy who come

Impressive numbers, thanks for sharing. Out of interest, were you running on bare metal/cloud? And what kind of CPU was behind those 24M face compares per second?

Very interesting, what's your workflow? And how big is the DB? I've never (deliberately) considered committing a DB to git. Although there was that one time when I was straight out of college... Pro tip: surprising your colleagues

Any chance I could convince you to share some of those 'rare exceptions'? I love a good exception ;) Also they're where the real insights are.

Ouch, that sounds like a nasty bug. But if I understand correctly it's more the driver/ORM's problem than sqlite's? One to look out/test for early if I go in this direction though. Thanks for the heads up!

I'm coming from a similar direction. Postgres is my go-to, and I love it's reliability when you get your schema right. Glad to hear its type enforcement situation is improving.
