You are talking about unmonetized open source (which I agree with you about). But the context of this conversation is companies monetizing open source. I have been in both situations and it wasn’t a problem when at the company monetizing.

Open source creates the largest possible market share for the project. Those doing most of the code contributions will miss out on monetizing a lot of this market. But it's better to monetize 10% of a market that is 100x bigger than mo

The foundation of this article is that there is a zero sum game for resources for AI safety. I think we should reject this notion and improve AI safety both in terms of existential and non-extensional risk. If more resources are needed and

I see. So it’s 1 second plus time to write to S3 as the max data loss window. Which you can experience if your network connection, etc to the secondaries go bad, particularly if you aren’t alerting about it and fixing the situation. To try

If I am reading this right the main difference is you are copying the entire db whereas the linked version can copy just the changed blocks. Also in your solution it seems 30 seconds of data loss is expected although that could be avoided b

I think switching this with zero downtime to do foreign key references with UUIDs will be easier than any of the pain you would deal with from having to do cross-DB joins. What specific issues are you worried about with the integer key? Usu

Everything breaks at scale. In my experience most tables don't end up with more than a few million rows and will work fine with this. If you did want to transition a large table to be UUID only, the nice thing about this approach is th

UUID is also used to avoid leaking information about the underlying system. This includes temporal information that could be used to infer the size of the dataset for all users. If this isn’t a concern, then using a timestamp based approach
