There is - albeit a dwindling - community that does reimplement entire backends for mmo games. Look up the ragezone forums. I grew up around Mu Online private servers. And I'm sure in time a private server for HD 2 will appear if arrowhead don't release one themselves :)

I self host a bunch of apps that have SSO as enterprise feature. i want to invite my family/friends into these apps, i don't wanna spend additional 20 000$ for the SSO part, but it be real sweet if i could use it. It would eliminate so much questions like "hey.. what was my login to X?" or "can you reset my password to Y" if i could just use SSO.

low income countries don't have the money for iPads. My parents run on a 300 Euro computer bought 5 years ago. My dad is technical enough to get around a computer, but he's in his 60s now. My mom can open Facebook and youtube. Sometimes either of them downloads stuff, and opens them. So your solution is "make millions consumers spend $$ on overpriced hardware and even more closed off system, so few hundred open source devs don't spend 500$ to verify their app (which they will have to do if they want to release on the iOS platform either way)" Ain't no way.

Good. This might suck for opensource devs, but for normies that might get a random exe link this is good. I've gotten numerous phone calls from relatives when they try to run some unrecognized app, most of the time is benign, but on few occasions it was something malicious.

You're verifying your own claims. That's not good enough.

research aided by my agent Also not good enough.

As an example: Yesterday i asked Claude and ChatGPT to design a circuitry that monitors pulses form S0 power meter interface. It designed a circuit that didn't have any external power to the circuit. When asked it said "ah yes, let me add that" and proceeded to confuse itself and add stuff that are not needed, but are explained and sounds reasonable if you don't know anything. After numerous attempts it didn't produce any working design.

So how can you verify that the therapist agent you've built will work with something as complex as humans, when it can't even do basic circuitry with known laws of physics and spec & data sheets of no more than 10 components?

Even today, leading LLMS Claude 3.7 and ChatGPT 4, take your questions as "you've made mistake, fix it" instead of answering the question. People consider a much broader context of the situation, your body language, facial expressions, and can come up with unusual solutions to specific situations and can explore vastly more things than an LLM.

And the thing when it comes to therapy is, a real therapist doesn't have to be prompted and can auto adjust to you without your explicit say so. They're not overly affirming, can stop you from doing things and say no to you. LLMs are the opposite of that.

Also, as a lay person how do i know the right prompts for <llm of the week> to work correctly?

Don't get me wrong, i would love for AI to be on par or better than a real life therapist, but we're not there yet, and i would advise everyone against using AI for therapy.

In the USA. In Europe and such, I'm not saying it's zero chance, but it's extremely unlikely. As Europeans don't rely on insurance for healthcare, but we use government for that :) ( the exception being, if you want private insurance if your government provided one isn't enough)

in europe 2fa is mandatory for all (or almost all) online purchases, especially first time purchase from a merchant when your card hasn't been authorized. Sites using stripes' link get away with no 2fa most of the time, but not all the time. Make it mandatory on visa/mastercards level, and you won't loose much sales, as all transactions would require it and people will have to 2fa everywhere.

Based on your explanation and my very very limited knowledge of Microsoft SharePoint, sounds you were trying to implement SharePoint!

And there's a lot of enterprises that use that and pay a lot of money for it! The business side problem i can see is : how do you convince MS focused companies to use your product instead of SharePoint? Could your product be built on top of it?

Can you for example also enhance gSuite?

Thank you for open sourcing this, so others may learn from you or build upon your work!

In my case it's genetic. My mom & sister also have it. My grandmother has Parkinson's, so I'm extremely likely to also get it at some point. I've tried all recommended vitamins, supplements, etc. nothing really helped as much as Concerta.

Last project I worked on was a mix of on prem software and cloud software.

The cloud counterpart had 600+ mongodb databases split amongst 3 Mongo clusters.

The integration team took usually 2 weeks to setup the on premises software, and the cloud stuff took about a minute. The entire setup for the cloud was a single form that the integration team filled in with data.

The point I'm trying to make, is that if your customers require separate infra, they can wait a bisuness day to be setup. Meanwhile they can play on a sandbox environment.

It's also doable in fully automated fashion, but you will have to have strong identity and payment verifications, to avoid DoS, and in those cases usually contracts fly around.

That's for the b2b side.

For b2c, usually you rely on a single db and filter by column ID or similar, which can easily be abstracted away.

Speaking as a dev with over 12 years of experience in both dev and ops, that has implemented and maintained multiple multi-tenant systems with different levels of multi-tenant isolation (infra, db, schema, table, shared tables).

I dot see the value proposition here. Let's take couple of examples

If I need to have my totally separate infra for each tenant I'm going to go for terraform

If I need separate database on the same db infra, I'm Goin to either have a db initialization script that creates a usable db or clones a template database already present

So why do I need your sdk? To avoid a call to postgres to execute a script or a terraform script?

How does that work with the need for prefilled data?

Maybe I'm missing something, but I do not understand this service.

Hangfire with few plugins can be an absolute godsent in 99% of situations i've encountered. The one downside is the documentation is very very lacking, and you have to google a lot until you get to a good place. Despite that, i've used, use, and will continue to use Hangfire, as it's a great tool!

With great power comes great heat output. Lower power = lower heat output = lower bill for cooling. or the same bill at more capacity = more margin = more profit for the cloud providers :) Or the other thing to consider is, less power usage on a global scale = less co2 output.

You're not considering the core count difference. Amd has 128cores 256 threads at 2.2ghz at 360w tdp while Intel has 144c/144t, @ 2.2ghz @ 330w Tdp. Cloud providers care about density and power usage. More cores per server = less power = more servers per rack = more capacity = more opportunities for sales of products.
