can you say more about this. I've been considering adding tailscale to some products but if my (nerd) perspective is to survive corporate realism I need more than a 1-liner to justify. seriously curious. Also how would I pitch it to a EU based crowd that wants increasingly less to do with US based tech?

For one, Tailscale is a Canadian company :)

I can say that this really works great, I'm a heavy user of the unsloth dyanmic quants. I run DeepSeek v3/r1 in Q3, and ernie-300b and KimiK2 in Q3 too. Amazing performance. I run Qwen3-235b in both Q4 and Q8 and can barely tell the difference so much so that I just keep Q4 since it's twice as fast.

What hardware do you use, out of curiosity?

Nice! I haven't looked closely, but some initial questions/comments:

1. Are you ordering the jobs by any parameter? I don't see an ORDER BY in this clause: https://github.com/oneapplab/lq/blob/8c9f8af577f9e0112767eef...

2. I see you're using a UUID for the primary key on the jobs, I think you'd be better served by an auto-inc primary key (bigserial or identity columns in Postgres) which will be slightly more performant. This won't matter for small datasets.

3. I see you have an index on `queue`, which is good, but no index on the rest of the parameters in the processor query, which might be problematic when you have many reserved jobs.

4. Since this is an in-process queue, it would be awesome to allow the tx to be passed to the `Create` method here: https://github.com/oneapplab/lq/blob/8c9f8af577f9e0112767eef... -- so you can create the job in the same tx when you're performing a data write.

I just want to say how cool it is to see you doing a non-trivial review of someone else’s thing here

Why does a CoC have anything do do with a maintainer stepping down due to a technical disagreement?

And the way you word it makes it seem like you think CoCs are bad or “forced”; I don’t particularly want to engage there, but I’d encourage you to reflect on why you think that.

I got a little bit of assistance from Claude in figuring this out, but it pointed me in the right direction more than actually giving me the right sequence of commands. Claude got me as far as:

    gcc -o sqldiff sqldiff.c ../sqlite3.c -I.. -ldl -lpthread

Which was enough for me to figure out I needed to get the sqlite3.c amalgamation to build and then run gcc in the tool/ directory. I landed on this after a bit more poking:

    gcc -o sqlite3-rsync sqlite3-rsync.c ../sqlite3.c -DSQLITE_ENABLE_DBPAGE_VTAB

I did have a much more useful interaction with an LLM later on: I was curious about the protocol used over SSH, so I copied the whole of this 1800 line C file:

https://github.com/sqlite/sqlite/blob/sqlite3-rsync/tool/sql...

And pasted it into OpenAI o1-preview with the prompt "Explain the protocol over SSH part of this" - and got back a genuinely excellent high-level explanation of how that worked: https://chatgpt.com/share/6701450c-bc9c-8006-8c9e-468ab6f67e...

That share link 404s for me, FWIW. I’d be interested in seeing it!

Being able to filter by CPU (and model i.e. optiplex 3010 or whatever) would be useful here. I'm looking for a sff that has 13th gen intel cpu, supports 64gb ram as an example.

someone13 · 2 years ago

It’d also be neat if there was a way to sort by the passmark CPU benchmark score:

The CBC is little more than crass government propaganda at this point. Canada in general should be viewed as a cautionary tale for anyone who thinks more government intervention in our lives, is a good thing.

someone13 · 2 years ago

As someone that has lived in several countries, and currently in Canada, I will respectfully have to disagree both about your opinion of the CBC and beliefs about government intervention. Some parts of Canadian local/provincial/federal government seem deeply dysfunctional, but some are extremely helpful and better than I’ve seen elsewhere.

I recommend not having thousands of servers. Who has thousands of servers? Maybe 10 companies, worldwide, have an actual demonstrable need for that. The rest of the companies are just engaging in devops masturbation.

someone13 · 6 years ago

Tell that to companies doing extremely large-scale machine learning. Or any cloud infrastructure provider. Or CDNs. Or literally any video production company that owns a render farm. Or any company doing large-scale media transcoding/streaming.

Maybe "don't have thousands of servers" is just a bad take :)

One hopes the Oktas of the world had this figured out and this is more a problem when you host your own IDP.

someone13 · 6 years ago

This is part of what makes this class of bug so bad; it's not something you can "fix" at the IDP without doing exactly this. The issue occurs when a Service Provider (SP) is misconfigured, and in many cases the IDP doesn't actually get any sort of feedback that would let them detect the issue.
