There already is signal on many underground lines, and it’s pretty rare that people are playing things out loud in my experience?

London is the third most visited city and Heathrow is the second most popular airport by international visitors. The prospect of being arrested upon arrival there might be a little annoying.

Hey, I work on Restate. There are lots of differences throughout the architecture and the developer experience, but the one most relevant to this article is that Restate is itself a self-contained distributed stream-processing engine, which it uses to offer extremely low latency durable execution with strong consistency across AZs/regions. Other products tend to layer on top of other stores, which will inherit the good things and the bad things about those stores when it comes to throughput/latency/multi-region/consistency.

We are putting a lot of work into high throughput, low latency, distributed use cases, hence some of the decisions in this article. We felt that this necessitated a new database.

Wow, fascinating. I wonder if in a few years every in-game opponent will just be an LLM with access to a game-controlling API like the one you've created.

Did you find there are particular types of tasks that the models struggle with? Or does difficulty mostly just scale with the number of items they need to place?

As discussed in the article, we have built our own storage engine from the ground up, which we did because we believe it will achieve better performance by taking advantage of the features of the system (streaming data, single writer etc) instead of shoehorning it into a DBMS. So, our performance goals are very high throughput (100s of thousands of actions per second, scaling horizontally), with very low latencies (like, 40ms p90 under load for a 3 step workflow)

I feel this happening to me too... depressing

The twitter office is on Market Street, so this is totally plausible

I saw this going under Tower Bridge last week! Made me late for the dentist... :)
