<p>Is this in practice what's going to happen, or are (1) the prices going to hike (and never go down) for the consumer and (2) the memory companies will just continue doing what they already do because they're still selling their old shovels to the gold diggers?<p>I don't see how this will benefit the consumer, but I might be missing some second order effect?</p>

<p>Sorry, the wording confused me.<p>The project itself seems to be structued around 1.4k micro-crates[0] which I admit is a bit weird. Rust's compilation unit is the crate unlike C's per-file compilation unit, so if this was a 1:1 AI-assisted translation from the original Postgres source this might be an artifact of the translation.<p>[0] <a href="https://github.com/malisper/pgrust/blob/main/Cargo.toml" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/malisper/pgrust/blob/main/Cargo.toml</a></p>

<p>But that's not very informative.<p>Levenshtein distance is not only a well-understood problem, it's small, self-contained, and extremely well-represented in the training data. The kind of problem where even small/bad models can excel. The golden standard for those tasks is just "use a library" so no wonder the beefy models are expensive: you're chartering a commercial airplane to go grocery shopping.<p>My personal benchmarks are software engineering tasks (ideally spanning multiple packages in a monorepo) composed of many small decisions that, compounded, make or break the implementation and long-term maintainability.<p>There's where even frontier models struggle, which makes comparisons meaningful.</p>

<p>So what you propose is first you create the request payload and POST it, which generates a request-id-bound URL (but it does nothing stateful yet) and then you actually request to perform it? Because otherwise I don't see any difference.</p>

<p>Yes, I understand that, but I'm not sure how that changes anything?<p>I mean: you still have the problem regardless of following HTTP verb semantics or not.</p>

<p>> Don't do that, and this problem evaporates.<p>Don't do that, and you solved nothing.<p>Either I'm missing what you mean, or half the comments here are missing the point of idempotency.<p>Let's say your server received this request twice within one minute:<p><pre><code>    {
      items: [ { id: 123, amount: 1 } ],
      creditCardInfo: { ... }
    }
</code></pre>
How can you tell from the server if that's a retry (think e.g. some reverse proxy crashed and the first request timed out, but the payment already went through to the user's CC)... or if the user just trying to purchase another item 123 because they forgot they needed 2?<p>There is simply no way to make the requests idempotent without an idempotency key. The only way to tell both situations apart is to key the requests by some UID. The HTTP verb is irrelevant.<p>Did I misunderstand what you meant?</p>
