Oh I have really been thinking long about this. The intelligence that we have in these models represent a time.

Now if I train a foundation models with docs from library of Alexandria and only those texts of that period, I would have a chance to get a rudimentary insight on what the world was like at that time.

And maybe time shift further more.

Aren't floating point comparisons frowned upon? https://github.com/google/pebble/blob/main/src/libc/math/flo...

I guess you can freeze some compiler options to give you consistent results.

How do these things work with devices inside a NAT gateway? Most of our devices are inside a LAN. Even if a server gets started, it won't be visible to the outside world, unless we play with the modem settings.

Now, a hacker/state who has penetrated a device can do an upload of data from the local decice to a CNC server.

But that seems risky as you need to do it again and again. Or do they just get into your device once and upload everything to CNC?

Is there a more general reading for software engineers?

Seems like jumping right into the code can be a bit overwhelming if you have no background on the topic.

I am digging into postgres source code past few weeks. This project seems like a good way to see how plugins integrate. I may reach out later if I have questions

Wait, so which is better? Stateful or stateless? How do you decide?

Very new to these APIs and their usages.

Why is it that compilers don't do this? They have a parse tree for how the sysmbols connect.

Would it not be appropriate to extend the compiler for visualising relationships between software components with zoom-in and zoom-out facilities. Zoom-in takes you to Assembly and zoom-out to the CTO.

How mcuh config did it requir on your home local network and office network to do the ping on 192.168.x.x?

Well, for that the comparative features needs to be clearly laid out.

It solves a problem that others have not solved. Which problem is that? And how better does it work than whatever there was?

From the article :

>non-sharded, strict serializable, fault tolerant, key-value store that supports point writes, reads and range reads.

k-v store, non-sharded, fault tolerant, reads and range reads. Redis has these.

>strict serializable

Redis's single threaded model does this (maybe, not entirely sure).

Please help me understand why is this comparison orthongonal or does it really replace redis in ways that I don't understand.

This is the second article after the "caddy" one that I am having troble finding a usecase.

Nginx eixsts, why do I need to learn caddy?

Redis exists, why do I need to learn FundationDB?
