I’m a bit confused, the top comment describes how time is estimated, which sounds very fair to the mechanic, so why the mechanics are not paid enough eventually? Is it because the estimation doesn’t include the “openning up” process, or what am I missing?
I had tons of wierd boot/reboot issues with my old dell precision m4800. It stuck before boot and required voodoo rituals to finally boot successfully into linux or windows. Now it wasn’t used for some years and having installed recently a modern linux it works just fine now, like never before. As if the computer finally fixed itself.
1. How is the cache invalidated to avoid reading stale data?
2. If multi az setup is for high availability then I guess the only traffic between zones must be replication from the active one to the standby zones, in such a setup read cache doesn’t make much sense..
Pretty cool. Unfortunately, there aren’t enough benefits in webdev to include this technique. Simple human readable flags would usually win because there is no requirement for high performance or efficiency in general (down to a certain level which is considered “good enough”) when doing webdev.
There are quite a few low hanging fruits to pick from before going into bits. For example using a stack based on golang, java or other efficient stacks vs ruby,python,node almost automatically gains you a lot of performance and efficiency upsides.
What we really need is to declare Chrome public utility and national security critical. Then have a steering committee and open transparent development that benefits users first. This goes in hand with Chrome being taken away from Google, as have been recently announced.
I did that with ES to squeeze performance but IIRC it didn’t really produce meaningful results. Otherwise, for most use cases an integration is better imho than embedding stuff that is when you have a full software service such as keycloack or ES. Rocksdb and h2 are tailor made as embedded libraries
Side note 1: ES can also be embedded in your app (on the JVM).
Note 2: I actually used RocksDB to solve many use cases and it’s quite powerful and very performant. If anything from this post take this, it’s open source and a very solid building block.
Note 3: I would like to test drive quickwit as an ES replacement. Haven’t got the time yet.
I am truly excited to see others are thinking in the same trajectory. I’ve been contemplating on these ideas myself for quite long time.
The service providers should provide basic low level infrastructure, not own or access our data. I have a vision on how it should operate, it would be interesting to dive into this project to compare.
By the end of the day it’s not black or white there are trade offs. So special hardware is simply a no go zone for me. What happens if you want to leave the cloud and host on premises its the activation of the lock-in mechanism. Thanks I can manage one solution or another using one of the open source technologies. It’s all trade offs.
Openrouter has a chat built in as well.
Also, since librechat was mentioned, the self hosted option I currently prefer is openwebui - connected to openrouter and gemini here.
I tested it by sending an email using ses and virtual deliverability manager to my gmail account which is configured to not load images automatically. Then I observed how the open is registered in the virtual deliverability manager’s dashboard.
Oh, but gmail also reveals to tracking services (i.e. virtual deliverability manager from aws ses) that you opened an email even when you disabled loading images.
