This thing is goated. It can handle the SF mandate. AGI is here.

Whats pricing look like with HIPAA compliance?

Yeah, I see your point—it might be misleading to label Nebula as a co-op since it technically isn't one. But I think what's important is how much Nebula does to empower creators compared to other platforms. The founders are creators who've invested a lot to make it a place where content makers get more support and a bigger share of the revenue. Even if it's not a co-op, it still feels like a step in the right direction for giving creators more control and benefits than they'd get elsewhere.

Honestly, I feel like the criticism is missing some key points. Sam and the other founders are creators who've put a ton of work and resources into Nebula. They've made awesome original content like Jetlag and have invested heavily to support other creators on the platform. Nebula gives budgets for creators to produce their own shows, and they get a share of the revenue from subscribers they bring in—I wouldn't be surprised if they earn from views too. So saying it's misleading doesn't sit right with me. Creators on Nebula definitely get a bigger piece of the pie compared to other platforms. It might not be a perfect co-op, but it's way more creator-friendly than most out there.

This is great to see. Evals on voice are hard - we only have evals on text based prompting, but it doesn't fully capture everything. Excited to give this a try.

> Researchers inside the AI unit have told colleagues they’re proud of their advances on Gemini, such as its “context window,” the amount of information the system can analyze at once. This is particularly useful to a company whose enormous amount of data is one of its key competitive advantages.

what does a large context window have anything to do with google's data moat?

Can ya'll sign a BAA for HIPAA? Saw Soc2 - just

Hosted Vitess sounds amazing - love this - 0 downtime migrations w/ Percona on RDS still suck and waste a lot of time

I’m not sure the throughput is that high - scans take quiet a bit of time, I would doubt that a register scans an item every 3.6 seconds - don’t have data on this but would easily triple that estimate as an average (so in the hundreds)

Also , I get the simpler tech, but complexity breeds failure - if you have a hybrid on prem / cloud model, especially with only 250k skus, at that point doesn’t it make sense to keep that exclusively in the cloud.

It’s a system that scans a barcode and returns an item at its core - this is still well under the limits of using an off the shelf system like Redis behind an endpoint

Target has 250k SKUs total - why is their inventory system so complicated? Why the hybrid on-prem store + data center cloud model - isn’t it easier if there is one source of truth? Seems like it would reduce the need for even dealing with all this eventually consistence cache sycning and whatnot

I ofc don’t know what I dont know, but super curious if anyone has insight into why such a complex system is required

Also, if this microservice is used for brick and mortgage mortar, can’t imagine more than a couple hundred per second? ( 2000 stores, 5 registers a store - and humans manually scanning items ) - why did that overload the micro service (guessing it wasn’t an endless exponential backoff)
