I mean cheap DRAM would be nice.

Wait. So if I write a review/article about a product the HN link should be changed to point to the product not my review? That makes no sense.

Yeah if the cost becomes prohibitive it's going to be one hell of a hangover.

If it's going to burst it's probably better if it's before anthropic hits peoples pensions.

IKEA effect?

It's lisp all over again.

Always has been.

Kinda funny to see hackernews clamouring to ban the Chinese models. Truly in the thrall of the frontier labs

I mean it's part of the marketing play. Drama always is. This article will get more views because it throws some shade. More copies of Order of the Sinking Star will sell as a result.

What kind of potato?

Great stuff! What's it running on?

Happens every time. Fascinating emergent behaviour.

I mean the fact that comments like this get downvoted is wild.

You'd think theft would still be illegal regardless of what a privacy policy says.

I think people get hung up on high availability (HA), and ironically don't test their backups. Single node with streaming backups to S3 (simple in a single writer system) can give you a system that will at most lose a few seconds of data (interestingly RDS has a 5 minute window of dataloss).

Multi node systems tend to have more failure modes, so fail more often, high availability is not free.

If you replicate data between two nodes (that are note async backups). You have to maintain strong data consistency. So writes to the database are considered successful only if the data is written to both nodes. If either node became unavailable you'd be unable to write anything without sacrificing consistency, reducing our overall availability rather than improving it. Also increasing latency.

This is why the whole multi node HA push by the industry is so laughable. A lot of time it makes systems more fragile.

Sadly they do not. They stop after the first frame (at least last time I tested it).

They also don't always support window sizes above 8MB which means levels above 19 can fail to decompress (if they use the more than 8MB of window).
