Cool story but what's the token spend?

http://github.com/buzz/block is quickly becoming a reasonable approach to shared agent compute, though it's still a bit more hands-on than the older 'compute donation' projects like SETI or Folding@Home.

I dunno I ran `ollama run gpt-oss:20b` locally and it only used 16GB locally and I had decent enough inference on my Macbook.

For each Jepsen release my favorite thing is the code for the tests themselves -- https://github.com/jepsen-io/jepsen/tree/master/dgraph/src/j... -- which seems surprisingly unreferenced in the post itself.

It's really important to manage versioned schema for events and defining rules around evolution of schemas, hopefully with tooling support like via Avro's Schema Registry or Protobuf's forward and backwards compatibility guarantees.

No, it's really not a high number. It's right on the money for 3 years in-the-trenches experience making the move into consultancy -- around $130-140/hr billable, which is what I was billed out at in the mid 2000s as a .NET consultant.

There are plenty of fair use exemptions to copyright. That said, US law is not the highest of moral standards to aspire to. Especially US copyright law. We've been flaunting it online forever, because it's obviously ridiculous and still hasn't caught up with what's fair and equitable in 30 years.

I'm reasonably skeptical of cryptocoin but I think it's absurd to judge utility of a work product so soon.

Skype grabs port 80 and 443 by default, which is not very nice. Since at least 2010, but ISTR even earlier than that.
