Nice project.!

Is there anything akin to file sockets api for wasm? I see a lot of potential in using them with go channels for ipc between multiple wasm modules.

It is weird that AI is solving hard problems for you. I can't get it to do the most basic things consistently, most of the time it's just pure garbage. I'd never pay for "AI" because it wastes more of my time than it saves. But I've never had a problem wrapping my head around a problem, I solve problems.

I'm curious what kind of problem your "brain cant wrap around", but the AI could.

In my case, Learning new stuff is one place I see AI playing major role. Especially the academic research which is hard to start if you are newbie but with AI I can start my research, read more papers with better clarity.

This is the way: SOCKS5 via SSH

You do need some minimal technical understanding and some scripting.

Pick any cloud provider that can give you a VM with SSH access.

Read up on doing this on your local device or another device on your LAN:

    ssh -NT -g -D 10001 -o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null -o ConnectTimeout=5 -i your_ssh_private_key your_cloud_login@any_cloud_provider_ip

Change 10001 to whatever.

Now read up on how your browser points to a SOCKS5 proxy. For Firefox, I create a separate profile. For chromium based, I use the command line.

You are now virtually located to whatever region you chose for your VM.

I mentioned some scripting. It's simple enough that I have a /bin/sh script to spin up the VM, set up the SSH SOCKS5 proxy, launch the browser, then spin the VM down when the browser exits.

Major issue I faced in this method is the network egress costs the cloud providers charge. I had to remind myself not to accidentally land on YouTube or some other video streaming sites.

Are there any cloud providers who don’t charge for network egress?

I just saw that some people on 4chan are organizing a mass booking of high-traffic route flights from India to stop some Indians from coming back. It feels like the visa process is politically weaponised for propagating racism.

Interestingly, someone on Reddit recently mentioned that “Pay phones started disappearing almost immediately after The Matrix movie showed everyone how to escape matrix”.

Let’s see if they will sustain :)

I remember when bitcoin post appeared first on HN. It was trending and lot of people were curious about technical details and people joking about viability as currency.

I even started mining for a brief time on work desktop which I had to uninstall immediately of course.

Main challenge with this approach is change management of models scheme. Apart from Consensus for updating schema, maintaining versioned models across services becomes a challenge. Let’s say someone deprecates a field in schema, all services needs to update the business logic based on that which is challenging and against the ethos of distributed services.

Any plans to extend support for triangle splats?

I am waiting for a day when all phone hardwares defaulting to Gaussian splatting to take 3d images without expensive sensors. It may be computationally expensive but probably cheaper than adding expensive sensors and adding more weight.
