Yes... I remember that even after having used Linux for a long time when we connected the AT we had the "Unix" experience in a different way.

The clue is in the rs232 mentioned in my comment. Linux is a Unix, even if nobody does it today you can configure an external terminal via serial port and use the system as if you were a user. The two Linux box were one with the modem and t

The README lacks the most important thing: how many more tokens/sec at the same quantization, compared to llama.cpp / MLX? It is worth to switch default platforms only if there is a major improvement.

A bit less than 30 years ago my friend and I found an IBM AT in the trash, perfect conditions, with even the floppy disks nearby. We connected it with an RS232 cable to a Linux box, and made an IRC workstation using QMODEM, for the girlfrie

You are right, and this attitude was reverted. You can't imagine what law departments can do even without explicit mandate, if not correctly moderated. Redis grew very fast in the middle of a CEO switch and I believe this created many

The team of sales was, AFAIK, rebuilt from scratch recently. Please if this happened recently tell me, and I'll make sure to report back. Thanks.

I said exactly that's a win of the community. But money are needed to pay the folks that work at open source software, and the companies that went for the SSPL were trying to protect their business (and, as a side effect, wanted or not

Nothing wrong in checking other alternatives, but Redis the company didn't call me to rejoin. I approached them to do something like an evangelist and bring back some kind of community vision inside. Then... if you can code, you end co

If you go into the GitHub of any of the forks, and check the contribution page, you will see this data is not correct. Probably all my commits are into this "unknown", since I push with @gmail.com account without being part of a

You have all the rights. Usually I do my best to avoid confrontations of that kind, and to respect the work of others. But I see certain communication patterns that are, for me, too much, and I needed to tell it. I think go on HN, and comme

Thank you, Simon. I believe that cases like Elastic and Redis returning back to an open source license is like writing on the rock: "open source won", at least in the system software space. Companies get created, prosper and fail

Yes, makes sense. Thanks for the reply.

That's a good point, traditional OSS licenses, we can like them or not, but they are "understood".

1. The fundamental idea was mine. Ideas can be improved, of course, and that's good. That was my point. However, allow me to say that Redis is fundamentally a "software of ideas" than anything else. Technologically it is far

Nobody wants to deny that Redis got from contribution from external developers. But it is fundamentally true that for like 8 years almost every substantial contribution was created by people working for Redis, and that later we got someth

Anyway: thanks for having contributed to Redis :)

The I/O threading was initially implemented by myself, when I was still working on the core before rejoining, and is also available in Redis. So this is actually another case of the benefits ValKey got for being able to clone Redis, re

RMS was enough of a genius to understand the potential of open source software, and basically gave us, with GPL and his evangelism (and his code! plenty of it), and the free software movement, the software world we are living now. AGPL refl

Thank you so much for your kind words! I tried hard, with Vector Sets, to follow exactly the "wave" you are referring here, I hope I was able to. Thanks.

AWS, GCP, surely are invested: they paid for ValKey, they forked to avoid doing revenue sharing with Redis in any way :D IMHO it's a matter of what the community does, and it, in turn, this depends on how well we are able to develop Re

That's a work of art. I had a lot of fun with these emulators in recent years. Some time ago I reworked the Spectrum emulator to work with the RP2040: https://github.com/antirez/zx2040 One of the incredible things

Download the model in background. Serve the client with an LLM vendor API just for the first requests, or even using that same local LLM installed on your own servers (likely cheaper). By doing so, in the long run the inference cost is near

I agree that AI powered programming can give you a boost, and the points made in the post I would agree with if they were not made about Claude Code or other "agentic" coding tools. The human-LLM boosting interaction exists part

Students cheating with LLMs show more a weakness of a system than anything else. Rich folks had other people make assignment for them for ages, now this got democratized. The educational institutions are mostly disinterested in really doing
