Are you suggesting it’s any other reason than Couchbase didn’t want to pay for the sponsorship anymore? Is there a statement from Couchbase about this? If not I’ll err on the side of trusting the conference over them and effectively blame them.
Thanks, taking that reply at face value means I'm wrong that it was only about money. It is still a pretty shitty thing to do at the 11th hour, there are many better ways Couchbase could have approached this.
Training in parallel on more then one GPU is pretty hard. Distributing the training over many random computers and adding at least some kind of validation, seems to kill the performance. So it would always be easier to rend cloud GPUs.
Not true. Most RxDB users use the dexie.js storage which is for free: https://rxdb.info/rx-storage-dexie.html
Also you should compare it to the alternatives like firestore or AWS datastore which are not even open source partially and cannot even be used with a self-hosted server.
Firebase works until you want a different conflict resolution then last-write-wins.
It is also only offline first if the user is authenticated. Otherwise you need a connection to the servers before using the local state.
Thanks for the input. I submitted this because I’m looking around for ways to define a matrix for accepting a given “credential” within the schema of the credential itself — a bit hard to explain without getting into it. This is the best model I’ve found so far to do what I’m trying to do, but it’s still very imperfect.
