- Rivian coming for Teslas crown? I honestly think Rivians are unattractive. Like if a jeep and scion had a drunken tryst. Haven’t seen the interior before though.
But I’d be glad if somebody was competitive enough to force Elon to behave again.

- I don’t think I’ve every heard of an Apple Services outage until today.

- Totalitarianism is a form of class warfare. Make class warfare M.A.D.
- This is a good point, I hadn't considered that.
- Netflix is fucking its business up by trying to be a studio IMO. The service was perfect when they were a streaming platform. The studio arm's script selection and production quality makes me want to gauge my eyes out.
When you pay an arm and a leg every month for Netflix, you're funding a studio that pumps out the equivalent of screeching goblin sounds. Makes no sense.

- I think most of the time when small teams say “we should do microservices” what they really mean is “we should try a service oriented architecture.” Especially if you’re doing a monorepo, it becomes fairly routine to make choices around how to consolidate like modules.
For example, I work in a small company with a data processing pipeline that has lots of human in the loop steps. A monolith would work, but a major consideration with it being a small company is cloud cost, and a monolith would mean slow load times in serverless or persistent node costs regardless of traffic. A lot of our processing steps are automated and ephemeral, and across all our customers, the data tends to look like a wavelet passing through the system with an average center of mass mostly orbiting around a given step. A service oriented architecture let us:
- Separate steps into smaller “apps” that run on demand with serverless workers.
- avoid the scaling issues of killing our database with too many concurrent connections by having a single “data service”—essentially organizing all the wires neatly.
- ensure that data access (read/write on information extracted from our core business objects) happens in a unified manner, so that we don’t end up with weird, fucky API versioning.
- for the human in the loop steps, data stops in the job queue at a CRUD app as a notification, where data analysts manually intervene.
A monolith would have been an impedance mismatch for the inherent “assembly line” model here, regardless of dogma and the fact that yes, a monolith could conceivably handle a system like this without as much network traffic.
You could argue that the data service is a microservice. It’s a single service that serves a single use case and guards its database access behind an API. I would reply to any consternation or foreboding due to its presence in a small company by saying “guess what, it works incredibly well for us. Architecture is architecture: the pros and cons will out, just read them and build what works accordingly.”
- Think of it like the Bro App from “Silicon Valley”, just with the charm of a doorstop. ;D
- I’m doing AoC on Zig this year. Zigtools will be my reference. Cheers!
- At one point they added a “R******D COMPLAINT” (censored for HN) ticket sticker to… idk, oppose AI-use accusations? Somebody seemingly talked them down from it though. Just bizarre. Like watching a midlife crisis through GitHub issues.
- @gregasadetsky: you should make it social… you know, like, just because. Like I want to be able to send my sister my latest “Boing,” and see what she thinks of my technique.
- My best offering is the engine sim which may or may not have a lib. https://github.com/ange-yaghi/engine-sim If nothing else, it’s a brilliant, novel oddity.
- Is this physics based audio?
- Had a conversation with the Zigbook maintainer. It’s either a young kid or somebody that has some serious growing up to do. Just generally weird behavior.
- I think Billionaire alignment is a much larger problem than AI alignment. To use Bostrom's language, it's not full-on owl domestication, but sparrows with owl-like powers that we need to worry about.

- You should go see "Bugonia" by Yorgos Lanthimos, if you haven't yet, then! That movie might be straight up your alley.
