Reminds me of the time I wrote a jailbreak tweak for iPhone to send more types of notifications to Pebble back in 2013: https://www.engadget.com/2013-02-14-hack-brings-all-iphone-n... https://github.com/conr

I'm having a hard time imagining this. Aren't most CRUD apps using OLTP mostly read-only in the first place? I just feel like you'd need thousands of concurrent users on a typical CRUD app to even get close to straining SQLit

Yeah, that would be very cool! With a read-only operating system that is identical across machines (i.e. NixOS or Silverblue), you would only have to send the dirty pages, too!

Could this be used to migrate execution of a single program between two different machines?

Very much agreed. I couldn’t even bring myself to use GitHub (much less BeanHub) for my Beancount. I use git locally because the ledger is extremely sensitive

It makes it a lot harder if you check the balances!

Language models completely upended my Beancount setup. To me, there is no point fiddling with precise parsers when a language model can read any PDF. I have the language model extract balance assertions from the PDF (beginning/end bala

Isn't knowledge of language necessary to decode prompts?

SQLite has the ability to do exactly this, minus the versioning: https://sqlite.org/cloudsqlite/doc/trunk/www/index.wiki Implementing snapshot backups on top of that would be as simple as a VACUUM and S3

Yes! The longer response is that the closer you stick to standards the easier of a time you will have. VMs are a standard with cloud-init and image formats, etc. i.e. in 2025 managed Kubernetes is not _that_ different between providers

Using managed services is not a pointless endeavor – they can save you a lot of time (and therefore money). Unless you need to switch providers, at which point it may take more time to adjust for differences in how those managed services op

It _is_ better in the general case on most benchmarks. There are also very likely specific use cases for which it is worse and very likely that OpenAI doesn't know what all of those are yet.

Same here! Slack is… fine. The one catch for Emdash for me is that we are hybrid (3 days in office) and use Zoom Rooms for our conference room are pretty happy with it.

The Free Press is one of the biggest publications on Substack and they're a small news organization with ~25 people. It seems like Substack is doing well.

It's worth noting that AWS has had this sort of infrastructure with Nitro for quite some time now: https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/nitro/nitro-enclaves/ At some point it was novel to put a separate hardware r

In Tor, individual websites get individual circuits to prevent this sort of profiling, and I think Obscura would need to do the same for the same level of anonymity.

by conradev 2y ago
The only solution I know of is essentially to do "bandwidth burning" where you inject a bunch of fake traffic as noise. I don't know how you'd do that within the constraints of this system.

Can I download a pcap file? Being able to view and debug the application protocol is one thing, but I can use Wireshark to view and debug TCP itself. Reading the documentation makes it sound like this sits one or two levels above where Wire

In this specific case, I imagine the system is much more secure. The Broadcom chip and Qualcomm chip each represented their own separate attack surface. Even without hacking the AP those chips were still a problem.
