Any chance Apple Private Relay still works? That’s why I stick to Safari. Am a paying Kagi user.

Damn. The "iPhone last setup or erased on ..." is really nasty. What can a user really do about that? I feel like this should be fudged somehow by the OS.

Haha, as a former maintainer to one of these tools, it makes me laugh to see someone pop a shell. Creative, nice work, nice resource.

I’d be interested to see a benchmark of actually selecting rows by manually specifying the partition vs not.

This benchmark seems to be pure computation of the hash value, which I don’t think is helpful to test the hypothesis. A lot can happen at actual query time that this benchmark does not account for.

We’re looking for a distributed Go cache.

We don’t want to round trip to a network endpoint in the ideal path, but we run multiple instances of our monolith and we want a shared cache tier for efficiency.

Any architecture/library recommendations?

I haven’t benchmarked this, but I have recently benchmarked Spark Streaming vs self-rolled Go vs Bento vs RisingWave (which is also in Rust) and RW matched/exceeded self-rolled, and absolutely demolished Bento and Spark. Not even in the same ballpark.

Highly recommend checking RisingWave out if you have real time streaming transformation use cases. It’s open source too.

The benchmark was some high throughput low latency JSON transformations.

It works but it shows phone numbers rather than contact names and you can’t assign a name to a number without giving access to your entire contacts … it ticks me off.

What’s this “neural information retrieval system” thing about?

I’m just hacking away and presenting the LLM with some JSON data from our metrics database and making it answer user questions as a completion.

Is this embedding thing relevant for what I’m doing? Where should I start reading?

I always set `RestartSec`.

No, it isn’t. Browser root programs have certificate transparency (SCT embedding) requirements which would immediately reveal to the world if an ISP started to use a trusted root to MITM its users.

I think the title buries the most horrifying part of this. The HiCA certificate authority is relying on an RCE to do an end-run around the semantics of the ACME HTTP-01 validation method.

Fucked up and they should be booted from every root program for this.

There is years and years and years of amazing content and community on Reddit. Rallying people around a replacement looks challenging. I am hopeful that it happens.

ELI5 OpenXLA vs TensorRT? Are they solving the same problem, just that the former is not married to NVIDIA devices?
