This looks interesting, I will be following future developments

Where are the sharks, though? I just see minnows. GitLab has a lot of outages/brown-outs on a much smaller load and Gitea is so confident in their ability to handle load that they host their own development on GitHub.

There is a screamingly obvious answer here and I don't understand why they aren't taking it -- raise prices, make the free tier less generous. Either slow down the growth or up the revenue pipe so you can throw more compute at it.

```The associate agreed with me that they should not deprecate the old app until the new app can handle this configuration. I asked them to raise this up the chain: they need to push back the deprecation date.```

There's no way a CSR has any power over this.

I am really shocked at the tone of so many of the comments here. Did HN become a breeding ground for xenophobia at some point? Has it always been that and is it just way more mask off now?

It's worse than that -- they don't even know the result! They never tried to run it!

I was on a GLP-1 a few years ago and lost 70 lbs. After I got off, I kept a ton of diet changes (no more Pepsi or Gatorade and a lot of water instead, switching to whole grains and fiber/protein variants on pasta, etc.) and gained the weight back in a year and a half. The literature backs this up: keeping up weight loss is hard.

If people can figure out how to write RFCs about IP over carrier pigeons for April Fools, they can figure out how to conceive of LLMs as a layer of abstraction beneath a protocol as well.

I was wondering why HN was linking to Vox Day. The answer "because the alternative is worse" is probably the most justifiable one I can think of.
