Yea :) autocorrect is not my friend

Microtek hands down the best value for money.

AWS/Cloud have seemed to create this fallacy that dedicated hardware/on-prem fails far more than actual reality.

It's buried quite a bit in the Readme but well worth watching the launch event https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Jlikdtm4OA

Good chance FB will own the VR space from platform on a hardware and software level. My bet is they will be bigger in 10 years than they are now if VR materialises

To hopefully make your day better.

I for one, amongst many people I am sure, am deeply grateful for the work of you and your peers in getting this out!

This is great! Pinged my team and they like it.

Some notes: 1) I think you are to cheap. 2) signatures of sent webhooks is pretty important for the receiving party.

When we ran HPC CFD models at university we would just use a head node and SLURM to schedule work on machines. It worked really well. I'm not really sure what benefit Kubernetes adds in this case? If anything I feel like it adds more complexity.

Would love to hear from the OpenAI folks as to why they chose to use Kubernetes for this problem.

Yeah Chamath in my opinion is very much the Buffet of Tech companies

This is a problem space our company (coil.com) is actively working on. Part of our approach is proposing an open standard https://webmonetization.org/ and are actively working with browser vendors and W3C.

It is a chicken and egg problem though as browsers won’t implement anything without scale and it’s difficult to get scale without lots of users. We polyfill it with a browser extension. It’s not a great solution though.

We always looking for feedback and users :)

Having just purchased my own server at Hetzner, I do believe that there will potentially be more appetite for somewhat of a cloud hybrid

Having had you reply to multiple questions of mine I just want to so thank you!

Highly recommend the stuff from Ory. They have Kratos (https://github.com/ory/kratos). Which I haven’t used because it was still alpha but have used Hydra extensively and it is an amazing piece of tech

Ultra running is definitely Type II fun. It’s not that enjoyable at the time but somehow in that suffering you find pleasure afterwards

That is a great question and partly why there is valuing in having a Web Monetization Provider such as Coil. The job of the provider is to optimize and distribute the spend in a way that gives you the best experience. There is still much to be explored here but the basic premise is that the Provider basically makes micro-decisions for you so you don't have to.

That is fair feedback, thanks. Will raise an issue in the repo.

Chris_f I would love someone on our team to talk to you. We are attempting to solve those pain points by working with partners like you. Email me matt at coil domain

Great question. For low value payments those payment rails are incredibly expensive. That’s why it operates on the Interledger network.

Interledger is a payments clearing protocol modeled on IP where settlement is arranged through peering relationships. It is incredible good at low value payments.

Our next work in the space is beginning to open it up to Retail style payments through Open Payments[1]. Initially we are targeting mini payments (<$5). As these are poorly served currently with traditional options due to high fees.

However our final goal is much bigger. The real problem we see in digital payments is not MasterCard, Visa and PayPal but Apple, Google and Facebook. We had OpenId but we ended up only getting login with Apple, Facebook and Google. The same is going for payments. We believe Open Payments is a viable alternative to provide an open payments system that is not big tech.

That is not fragmentation, even it appears that way. Adrian Hope-Bailie who is part of the web payments working group is also involved in the web monetization spec. WebMo is attempting to align completely with the web payments work.

Thanks thats amazing!

One question I don't see addressed in that thread.How do you deal with failures of the node? Do you use active-active type replication or some other strategy?

Do you have any links/resources I can read more about this? Sounds crazy interesting!

We use room. Love it and the founders are super helpful if you run into issues

I thought I was part of some broken AB test. I have just been deleting the div in dev tools but it’s really annoying

Thanks for the info. Can you clarify what predictions in multi agent scenarios are?

What you are describing is almost exactly how Codius is envisioned to work. Our company is actively working on this right now and it is close to being in an alpha/beta state.

Thanks for pointing this out! I really wish the blog would explain that better. /3 will really shine where connection has degradation.

For me the most exciting part is the seamless network switching potential of /3 on mobile devices

For learning layouts using flexbox I highly recommend Wes Bos https://flexbox.io/

Thats awesome to hear! Would love to learn more. I assume you are part of the South Africa Nando's group...

You don't but considering he works for AWS, he was probably a part of the Cape Town AWS team doing EC2 stuff before moving.
