I'm not sure I fully understand your question, but the heartbeat time outs and leader election time outs are static. And yeah if you make votes and heartbeats time out in a way that nobody can be elected, then raft can't make prog

The raft algorithm works and if you implemented a less complex state machine (like using a simpler kv store that doesn't need global event ordering via revisions and watches) it would work. That's what antithesis said they did to

Their lock, leader election, sessions, and leases are all awful and I'd never recommend anyone to use those. But as a strongly consistent kv store and if you need the watch mechanics, its useful. It has its place and that's mostl

Having run a fleet of 100s of etcd clusters for 10000s of rps, and the fact that upstream runs tests similar to antithesis and recently partnered with antithesis [0], and jepsen has tested it long ago as well [1]. Etcd's raft algorithm

My point in that second question was: Is the human challenge of getting a lot of inexperienced engineers to fully understand the LLM output actually worth the time, effort and money to solve vs sticking to solving the technical problems tha

I think they're saying typically the kernel one of the last places you'd expect the bug, so it shows that it is battle tested? I don't think they're being snarky.

Does that work as well with non-strangers who are your coworker? I'm not sure. Also if you're organizationally changing the culture to force people to put more effort in writing the code, why are you even organizationally using LL

That book was written with 40% of the engineers compared to when I left a couple years ago (not sure how many now with the layoffs now). I'm guessing those hires haven't read it yet. So yeah, reads like standards slipping to me.

My take away with the final statement of rolling it yourself if it sounds fun is to pick whatever technology that gets your pen on the paper so to speak. If unity gets you making the thing or making the engine gets you making the thing, mos

Rewriting hundreds of thousands of lines of code just isn't really feasible honestly. Maybe you just mean the actually bottle neck can use C bindings or whatever. Or, maybe you can migrate some microservices and hope it goes smoothly.

Corporations don't just blip into existence overnight. Startups use a prototyping language fixing the problems and then suddenly you realize you need types and rewriting is a waste of time, money, and a risk to the business. > Does

What's the ML in HTML stand for? I think that's probably the crux of the argument. Are we gonna evolve it past its name?

Accomplishing things for me feels a lot like solving a good puzzle. Like a crossword. I tried using an LLM to help with a small hardware project and ended up throwing out all the code halfway down the line and doing it myself. I don't

I'm not sure that's necessarily true. People still do embroidering even though there's crazy embroidery machines (though the cost barrier there is probably related). Maybe LLMs will be too cost prohibitive in the future (once

I took it to mean that people (clients) would give the project fake data for fun. But there's no statement about how those people might find the project (basically not necessarily people from hackernews). You both are agreeing with eac

I'm a little confused on how this helped your design doc? It seems like you picked the design that the LLM could best implement? I was really curious about how it helped you iron out the problems but couldn't figure it out from yo

Not all jobs are created equal. I know the quality control for software written for Web is very very different than the software written for cloud. You're arguing that the standards for medical device firmware should be the same for Pi

I bought my minis 3d printed off Etsy, I bought some random wet erase map and markers, and I bought a non-d&d licensed 5e module. I thought this was the whole license debacle which got walked back? I already owned a 5e players handbook
