You just need to know few people to qualify for "multiple times"
It's just very well done, and in the Prometheus ecosystem the best backend currently available.
I'll add to the numbers: I run 2 storage demons (once storing with 1m accuracy for 10 years, other with 10s for 2 years)
short term one has 43.8GB and stores 69 bil rows
long term one has 16.8GB and stores 20.4 bil rows
so compression in both cases is getting it to less than a byte per metric entry stored
Then you'd either:
* push into it directly using prometheus write format * push using other formats supported (there is a bunch so if you already have infra to get metrics you can often just plug it in * set up vmagent to scrape destinations (uses same config format as prometheus)
I use it for a while now both for work (few hundred servers) and for home stuff and it is excellent, small and low on disk storage
(yes that sounds like PR, no, it is not, I'm just very happy user)
But they are essentially fighting for smaller and smaller part of the pie. The better open models are the less you need frontier models, so the frontier AI companies are essentially fighting for market that will shrink the better AI is.
Sure there is inertia and the usual corporate enterprise nonsense of "we only buy stuff from other big companies regardless the cost" that keeps the licenses going but we're quickly getting into point where you don't need any of the frontier models to do majority of the tasks
There was nothing "new" in cybertruck. Delorean had bare metal panels! It wasn't a good truck, vehicle, EV, anything. It was Elon's crayon drawing turned car. That's not "innovation" we should applaud
Cheap hackable electric work truck (I imagine chassis with basic cabin that you can expand in various ways, like the EU van options have like half a dozen chassis) would be great but it's not something Tesla ever wants to make
...you don't. You replace it in whole. You can't use filler to mask small dents and paint over it, if you want it to look as before, you have to pretty much replace it.
Also painting IN THE FACTORY isn't expensive. Re-painting the part on repair is because of all of the prep work required (take apart, clean, color match etc).
Might be break-even, but I doubt it would be cheaper
"It will be cheaper" is a perspective of ignorant "smart guy" that thinks because he got successful in one thing that they can weight in on industry processes they have no idea about
It won't drop off by a cliff, migrating from existing tooling/vendor that works might just not be worth it, but it seems that there will be less and less money in the frontier
Anything longer is putting systems at danger. I can recompile the package with a patch (even if Ubuntu/RHEL takes 3 weeks to do it) myself in a pinch, and I'd like to have a chance for it before the bug gets re-discovered by malicious party
Also the light bulbs have excellent performance at "catching" bugs because they land on hot stuff and die. I had some GU-12 ceiling halogen lights in my previous apartment and the rims were always covered by bugs that decided to land there and as they were hot from halogens, boom, bug destruction machine
That was, mind you, in game released prematurely with ton of bugs. They found time for that.
How I know that ? I didn't cheat knowingly. I just used the editor, couldn't make up my mind and I was going between the steps once or twice. I thought I forgot to spend some skill points, turned out when you went back to the skills screen, the ones you picked stayed but the game gave you new set of points to spend
They found the time for cheater heckling but not to make their character creator work right ;)
First it was virtualization instructions, then AVX stuff
Assuming transport is compromised and you can only trust package signatures IS A GOOD THING. Extra security layer on top of it is nice of course but arguably if it was all https we would've never found this bug and then in case of CA compromise attacker would have plenty of bugs to use to fool apt.
The problem is that they failed ordering of validation; it should be "download from source" (of any type, remember that http(s) isn't only way) -> put into temporary dir -> validate, regardless of source used.
There are also edge cases where HTTPS does hurt you, on system without reliable time (and there is quite a few SBCs that don't have RTC) you would just not be able to download the packages at all because all certs are in future.
