I find it acceptable to allocate tax money for a system that we as a country can use as an alternative to the Visa and MasterCard duopoly. With UPI as it is today, there are no margins added and passed to the customer, no transactions that are denied, no commissions cut. Payment is very fast, transactions can be proven. We are not at the mercy of any economic attack that the US would subject us to. Many are able to bank, are able to receive payments.

I find it not necessary that the UPI must show a profit. The direct and indirect benefits to the nation are far more important.

Also, "whataboutism" does not help. The suitcases and paintings and other such corruption examples that you cite require a separate investigation and redressal. One must not stop UPI or start charging the everyday person because some of the rich are corrupt. They will continue to exchange suitcases of cash for favours regardless of whether the UPI is chargable or if it even exists.

When a ZFS snapshot is marked, then changes to existing blocks in the snapshot as well as new writes all go to free space in the disk. There is no pre-allocated space within which these COW changes are written to.

Thus, we could have a single ZFS snapshot marked today followed by years of data being written to. This is not the intent of an LVM snapshot and the warning that I had quoted above is worth reviewing once.

ZFS snapshots use Copy-on-Write differently and have no such allocated space limit. Thus, we can do interesting things like snapshotting a file system after an OS is installed, and then roll back to that snapshot upon an OS upgrade failure, or even clone a new file system from that snapshot to have a different copy of the OS.

Essentially, the nature of the snapshots are different in both.

I would request the author to consider something that does not distract us from this educational and informative website ( I have bookmarked it ).

When future humans rediscover mathematics.

It does appear that for many of us "saving the planet" has become akin to "making the world a better place".

I was excited last night thinking about what you might uncover at OpenAPI. While we can all speculate (device drivers? File systems? Python itself? DB queries? Memory architecture? Inference algos? ) I recall “I have no data yet. It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data” by Sherlock Holmes in "A Scandal in Bohemia".

All the best with your work at OpenAPI. We will all hopefully learn about writing more energy efficient code and about more efficient LLMs and more thanks to your work!

I am a long time fan, I have the physical copy of each and every book that you have authored, I have watched each and every video that you are in, and I walk team members and clients through your USE method at every engagement I am on.

I would say to you that the "make the world a better place" has been excessively misquoted. Even the Silicon Valley episode on Tech Crunch parodies show how anything and everything is intended to "make the world a better place".

Please reconsider your use of the phrase given the well-earned negativity around it.

Try the HN search. There have been so many discussions about SOC2 over the years. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...

Edit: Looks like you are the lumoar guy. So you already know what has been discussed. Please share clearly in the future.

The way I explain ECC RAM and file systems is "Since data is present in RAM before it is given to a file system driver to store and after data is retrieved by the file system driver, the data is only as good as what the RAM can assure." ZFS handles everything once the data is in its purview. It provides various features to ensure redundancies and recoverability in case the underlying hardware fails for any reason.
