that's what I was most excited for with the new built-in iOS pass creator, but it doesn't seem to have that feature?

hmmm, I think they might be using a quorum-based 3PC variant. Reading <https://github.blog/engineering/infrastructure/building-resi...> does make it seem like they only need a majority to commit instead of all nodes.

Ah, and then it looks like the losing nodes get marked unhealthy:

> In essence, every write operation goes through a voting protocol, and any replicas on the losing side of the vote are marked as unhealthy—unavailable for reads or writes—until they can be repaired. Repairs are automatic and quick. Because a majority agreed either to accept or to roll back the update, there are still at least two replicas available to continue accepting both reads and writes while the unhealthy replica is repaired.

But not sure how unhealthy nodes are discovered. Maybe the coordinator marks them, and if the coordinator crashes it allows stale reads and detects invalid writes?

we recently added a `launch` command to Ollama, so you can set up tools like Claude Code easily: https://ollama.com/blog/launch

tldr; `ollama launch claude`

glm-4.7-flash is a nice local model for this sort of thing if you have a machine that can run it

Guessing you're talking about this interview? https://youtu.be/1UES4gQZH6o?si=X_zP2AKmvVrkpVi4&t=1069

I just saw it a couple of weeks ago, it's great. I linked to him trying to remember one of those lines, but the whole interview is worth listening to

I came here to the comments to mention the shape "Cresti di Gallo", which I had for the first time recently and really enjoyed. I suspect it might just be another name for the same shape you posted, so maybe you can find another brand you like

turns out that Ken Shirriff is the technical reviewer for this book! (I saw this in the early access PDF)

I love both the show & Egan's writing, but Egan's stuff feels a lot more optimistic to me. I do like the theory that things are not quite what they seem in Severance and there might be a Ndoli Jewel-type device involved.
