My father uses ChatGPT extensively. My friend, whos an electrician, but has 0 things to do with computers, even called it Chat once and I said who? Because for me its ChatGPT. He also uses it extensively. Although I would bet they won't be willing to pay, advertisements will eventually hit them. And with inference prices going down, with distilled models being used, OpenAI will profit, and people will still hapily use it for whatever random queries they have. Exposure is the currency and OpenAI will have infinites of it for the foreseeable future.

Worked on an ESP. We had a couple of server software we used on low-level for sending. None of them would accept the message without a Message-ID. But even if you have a super-custom, SMTP-injecting service built, how can you ignore all of these bounces from a provider thats likeliest to be the major one you are sending to? Unthinkable. I would not like to have business with such a payment provider.

Day by day these things sound more like Sci-Fi series announcments.

Got the same error, but you just press Esc and you are in the game though.

Yeah, without SSO support this is a no-go for me too.

So is it default on or off? I am confused

This is the case for PHP library that is used to collect data, but i guess others either already have it or will do it soon. Don't get me wrong - i'm ok with companies adding telemetry, but adding that as an opt-in by default is just not cool.

And this might be just the last straw in us switching away from DD, with all the random price hikes (them counting hosts and RAM on them and basing pricing on it?!), we will probably look into some OpenTelemetry setup we can host ourselves.

New comment by fosron in "Ask HN: Zero-downtime migration from MongoBD to PostgresSQL"

fosron — Tue, 21 Feb 2023 15:14:28 +0000

Yeah, thats what i think too, thanks. Hoping for a miracle solution. And also i did google, and i understand that the schema will have to be provided, we can do that, but the actual data transfer is the pain point here. I tried one solution, Airbyte, locally, but its mongo support is in beta, and does not use a feature like WAL, etc.

Ask HN: Zero-downtime migration from MongoBD to PostgresSQL

fosron — Tue, 21 Feb 2023 14:57:09 +0000

Hey,

we are looking for an efficient way to migrate away from MongoDB to Postgres. Were hosted on Mongo Cloud ATM but i dont think theyll provide us a solution.

Key thing is were running a system which can not go down, and looking online i could not find anything that seems reliable and would help us to achieve that. Developing an in house solution for a one-off job also seems to be not the best one.

Maybe someone has experience regarding that, and could at least point in a good way? Would be really helpful. Thanks!

fosron — Wed, 05 Oct 2022 12:20:12 +0000

This is just a bad hot take. It does not even propose anything that's better. Just do work and it will be there? How? I'm confused. And, i, my self, don't believe sprints are 100% the best, but for us it helps to manage load, see how much we can do, and make sure everyone is on the same page. It's not a bible, it's just another tool in the chain.
