Porque no los dos?

Liquid seems like a better approach from an engineering standpoint because it is non compressible. But then I imagine dealing with liquid is more of a pain than air.

Someone said GitHub is racing to the mythical "zero nines of availability" and I love it

Hmm... 88.8888888%?

Jesus, that's both horrible and seems within reach.


They've already been well below that over the last 90 days

Yep, they just need to improve their reliability by 2%!

https://mrshu.github.io/github-statuses/


This page tells a very different story from GitHub own status page. What is different here?

Github measures/reports the SLA of the individual services.

The external page linked above goes the other extreme and considers it a bad status whenever any individual service is degraded.

In reality the majority of people only use 3 or 4 of the core services the majority of the time but since there's no "core services" SLA/uptime the usability of github for the majority of people is slightly obfuscated.


Part of it is that it considers downtime in any of the services GitHub provides as GitHub being down. So if GitHub had 100 different services, and only one of them was down at any given time (but at least one was always down), then it would show 0% uptime.

Tl;Dr blame Gatorade marketing.

The book "waterlogged" does a good takedown of the myth. Basically only you need to drink when you are thirsty.


Americans don't eat vegetables though

They also eat plenty of salty processed foods.

Which helps with water retention, so...

On a task by task basis the code Claude generates is pretty good these days. The biggest issue I see is that it wants to rearchitect the code constantly and I have no faith in my tests anymore because Claude will just "fix" them

I think some tests should be considered to be part of the specification rather than the product.

Assuming you mean mesh in general: Meshtastic like projects

- emergency communication

- low power data transfer for sensors

- low data rate data transfer for mobile groups. Air softers use it to transmit information to each other while playing.

HaLow:

- "high" data rate over shorter range, though much higher range than 2.4 wifi - data sharing between mobile groups like above, but high enough bandwidth for low quality video

- large area wifi deployments


Is there a better designed mesh project like those two getting built that you know of? Reticulum?


It's a fundamentally really hard problem that looks easy on the surface. There is no solution that works well beyond the small scale. Many people have tried. It's the same kind of thing that draws people to try to write IPv8.


Yeah, openmanet with reticulum seems the most “professional” right now


Heh nice, I have 4 openmanet nodes on HaLow right now
