Hi,

I've been looking for a product I could create that takes advantage of my colo server with 1 TB of ram.

Introducing: mach3db Remote Ramdisk!

It uses nbd-server on the backend to allow users to read and write directly to my enormous ramdisk.

Automatic backups from ram to Amazon S3 are available as well.

On the client side, it is easy to connect with nbd-client.

--

Security is implemented in two different ways:

1. nbd-server identifies clients by IP address.

2. Clients can encrypt their files before writing them to Remote Ramdisk.

--

To make #2 easier, I've released pickle-database on GitHub.

https://github.com/mach3db/pickle-database

Simply pass a fernet key to the constructor and all file transfers become encrypted with zero additional effort.

You can save any Python3 object with minimal effort!

Please let me know what you think.

Email james at mach3db.com for a free trial.

Thanks!

Hi,

https://mach3db.com is now a frontend to search Wikipedia and Stack Overflow article titles.

Right now I only have simple substring search to reduce load on my server.

The results are clickable links that point to lightweight versions of Wikipedia and Stack Overflow articles.

Please give it a try!

It works best in the Vivaldi browser: https://vivaldi.com/

Stack Overflow results can also be filtered by minimum number of comments.

Please email james@mach3db.com if you are interested in our blazing fast PostgreSQL compatible hosted database solution.

We also offer NocoDB (https://nocodb.com/) and Grist (https://www.getgrist.com/) high speed hosted instances.

Thanks!

Hi,

I have a self hosted version of Grist running on my collocated server.

Grist is an Airtable competitor where functions are written in actual Python3.

The server uses mach3db technology to provide an extremely performant Grist install with HTTP Basic Auth login enabled.

.grist files are backed up to Amazon S3 daily for extreme data reliability.

I found the free SaaS version of Grist on https://www.getgrist.com/ to be extremely laggy in terms of new row creation.

My Grist instance performs much better.

Please let me know if you are interested in a free trial.

If you like the performance, we can negotiate a paid plan.

I'm not trying to run an FTP server so please don't use it as a way to take up a lot of storage and bandwidth with large binary files.

I'm looking for users who want to store mainly textual and numeric data with clean, Python based formulas.

Please email james@mach3db.com for details.

Thanks

VectorCheetahDB: The Fastest Vector Database As a Service In the World!

VectorCheetahDB runs on top of mach3db, the world's fastest Database As a Service (DBaaS).

You need to buy a mach3db subscription at https://shop.mach3db.com to use it.

VectorCheetahDB is a JSON REST API so no database libraries are required!

--

Here are some of the main features:

Create tables with vector columns and optional JSON metadata column.

Vector columns can specify required vector length or accept any arbitrary vector.

Add, modify, and delete rows at lightning speed!

Compare vectors by: L2 distance (negative) inner product cosine distance

Create HNSW and IVFFLAT indexes to speed up vector comparison operations. Query a table by row id, ordered search, unordered search, or custom SQL search!

If someone uses the shared server too heavily, they will need to move to a dedicated server. For any mission critical use case, the dedicated server is superior.

The shared server has 72 CPU cores so it can handle a reasonable amount of parallel activity.

I offer mach3db on either a shared colo server or a dedicated colo server.

If you get multiple dedicated servers you could theoretically configure a master-master or master-slave arrangement.

The reason it's so fast is not just because it's on a dedicated server. There are actual differences between postgres and mach3db.

I invite anybody who wants to test mach3db to reach out for a free trial account. I think the speed will surprise people.

I added the benchmarking tool to Github here: https://github.com/mach3db/postgres-benchmarker

I haven't conducted detailed benchmarks yet but it should be much faster than a comparable Postgres database as a service hosted on a standard cloud or colo server.

You can benchmark it with this tool: https://pastebin.com/aybPTd3b

Please email james@mach3db.com for test credentials.

Thanks!

Hi,

I've just launched mach3db, the world's fastest database as a service (DBaaS).

It's Postgres compatible and it comes with these extensions installed: https://www.timescale.com/blog/top-8-postgresql-extensions/

Every user gets their own Postgres compatible database hosted on the mach3db.com server.

We back up every database to Amazon S3 every day. We retain the fourteen most recent backups as long as your subscription is current.

Currently, our server only has a 1 gigabit Internet connection. However, we can easily upgrade to 10 gigabit if we see enough demand for the product.

We are flexible and we can make custom arrangements such as: - more backups per day - more backups retained - dedicated servers - technology licensing - any reasonable request

Please email james@mach3db.com if you'd like access to a demo account to try it out for free.

Thanks!

Does anyone have any insight into OpenAI CEO Sam Altman's SPAC, $ALCC?

Here is an excerpt from their 10K:

"Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that we have until July 12, 2023, the date that is 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering (or until October 12, 2023 if we have executed a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement for an initial business combination by July 12, 2023) to complete our initial business combination. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination within such period, we will: (1) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (2) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest (net of permitted withdrawals and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law; and (3) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and our board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law."

So they have until July 12 to find an acquisition target. Anyone hear any rumors about which company might be acquired? I think if they pick any AI company the stock will pump pretty hard.

Thanks

You could pronounce it as jree.

Like tree with a j.

Simons is pretty reclusive, I don't think he's actually made an assertion about insider trading. Either way, you're right that I don't know for sure.

But all evidence points to a system that runs in a mostly automated manner, which would be the opposite of what you'd expect from an insider trader.

Someone who makes "gutsy calls" based on "intuition" like Steve Cohen is what I think most successful insider traders would look like.

Simons doesn't do insider trading.

Arguably he paid long term capital gains on a basket that should have been short term capital gains.

But his system of short term, automated, stat arb / signal detection based trades are clearly not based on classified corporate data.

I suggest you read The Man Who Solved the Market for more info.

Typically they'd get 2% of assets under management, not 20%.

You could say the same about any interest or income producing asset. USD, real estate, etc.

I helped build one of the biggest brands on Amazon.

Send me an email at hackernewsamazon@gmail.com

I don't see any datasets

If they allow it, you could go with them to their workplace and have them explain what they're doing as they do it. This will give you a much better idea of what their workday actually entails and make up for your friends' inability to describe their activities.

Small semi-relevant tip:

The slideshow after "Here's what it looks like" shouldn't alternate directions for the transition animation. You should make the screenshot come in from one direction if you press next and the other direction if you press back. This improves visual feedback for the user.

You need an apostrophe after "clients" in "Copper helps you manage your clients assets."

Does anyone know if Steve's actions are legal under United States law?

This is usually true of language or framework-specific books, but not of more general books like The Pragmatic Programmer. If you're looking to write books that will be read years from now, you need to focus on wider or more fundamental issues. The caveat here is that primers for long-lived languages like C++ have remained relevant for decades.
