+1 on "prefer my queue logic to be in code". The <shape> of my data doesn't change nearly as much as the actions I need to take on it; it doesn't make sense to me why I'd want to do a migration (which is an all or nothing op btw) every time I want to change how I behave with my data. This is also why I absolutely abhorred having to make postgres functions to do anything remotely non-trivial on Supabase.

That said, we did hand-build a simple job queue (just lock, poll, reserve on a column, poll and update reservation to mark job done) on top of postgres at my previous startup. Something like pgque would have made that much more polished.

Just sent him this thread!

Scary cuz it spreads from kissing / sharing fluid containers :O

Any particular reason why you want this with microVMs? Security (kernel separation) or snapshot support perhaps?

A friend already made something similar for personal use, but using docker containers hardened with gVisor.

A decade of dealing with CFS sounds like absolute hell.

I saw a close friend decline from a 90%-ile athlete to having trouble getting out of bed within a span of 2 months, and it was heartbreaking. This is someone I looked up to in the gym, went climbing with, went on hikes with. Living in Spain, he did have a hard time getting a proper diagnosis, with doctors eventually settling on ME/CFS. It's been 2 years now and he is slowly on his way back to being functional; went back to his job and he can even do light exercise once a week now.

I am going to ask him if he was prescribed corticosteroids as part of his regime. I do remember during his early tests (I know because I accompanied him) that he did test positive for Mononucleosis antibodies, but he doesn't remember showing any symptoms at that time.

Question is: "Can it run Doom?"

Looking at the results, I have some thoughts:

1. I understand the need to have the ceiling model be at a big enough factor to make for a good headline. But is it really fair to compare between two different family of models (phi3:mini vs mixtral:8x7b)?

2. The corpora is really small. Are the results here statistically significant?

Honestly, Task Manager does the job for me. Windows 8 and up, it's great!

I don't think so. If you look at the code carefully, it's pretty much one way traffic. Nothing of significance goes from Client/Webview to the server to get executed.

I was however hoping for authorization based handshakes. Maybe he'll put it in sometime.

On a side note: The project author doesn't sleep enough. He's a good friend. And also it's Finals Week now. :P
