Tetrate and Bloomberg want to contribute their code to Envoy to create "Envoy AI Gateway", similarly to how there is an "Envoy Gateway" spec. Do you see this as being complementary or competitive with your work?

It's early days, so while there might be some overlap, I am sure there is a lot that we can do together to build complimentary products.

Based on the press release, its kinda hard to tell exactly how different/alike we will be, but Arch will always be "designed-first" for prompts and LLM application workloads without exposing all Envoy related features. And Envoy is "designed-first" for micro-services application workloads. So there will be some overlap but our design principles will deviate over time I feel. But we are very open to collaborating with the community here...

You're probably thinking of Renegade, which lives on at https://renegadebbs.info/

Before there was WordPress, the most popular blog CMS was Moveable Type. It had a "generate static files" option. (I believe this is how Daring Fireball is still published today.)

Surely this is the "best of both worlds" answer?

Yes; it's referred to in Oxide's RFD about RFDs [1] https://rfd.shared.oxide.computer/rfd/0001 but the referenced URL is 404 unless you're an Oxide employee.

That link is out of date. The site and backend are now open source. Only the repo containing the RFD contents is private.

It wasn't lost. The guy who sat next to Warhol as he created it, has had it for the entirety of the intervening time. (That's some "provenance".)

The thing that Debbie Harry said she had one of two of was a /print/ of the images.

There's some more context here: https://pagesix.com/2024/07/29/lifestyle/long-lost-andy-warh...

A caption from that article: "Warhol also made a digital Botticelli for the Commodore". So many articles over the last few years have implied he made that Venus picture in its entirety. It was created by Avril Harrison, among many other images she created for EA's marketing, for the program that became Deluxe Paint. The image they always show is Avril's image after somebody (perhaps Warhol, perhaps it was somebody demoing it to him) used the brush tool to simply copy one eye and paste it in the middle.

As opposed to Maniac Mansion, where you could die if you drained the pool and waited too long to refill it.

The live remote camera setup seems like the bones of the only killer app idea I've ever had: a two-iPhone camera system for couples who want a stranger to take a picture of them while they're on holiday.

It would work like this:

- hand volunteer a phone and ask them to point it at you

- direct the shot by looking at the second phone ("no, stand further back, not our legs, don't point it directly at the sun")

- put the second phone in your pocket

- have the stranger take the photo you actually want, saving you rounds of back and forth when they say "Is this OK?"

Has anyone ever seen an app like this?

Apple watch has this feature

Yeah I often use my Apple Watch camera app to get a live view of what my iPhone sees when I have it on a tripod or do a family pic. It even allows for remote shutter and start stop.

also useful to find your phone without making it ring loudly

Your probably be better served with a travel tripod, and then using a remote shutter (eg recent pixel phones can see you put your palm up as a sign to take the picture). I imagine a random stranger helping with a pic might get bothered after about 2 directions

So dope, I have this problem all the time where I’m just like UGH can’t you take a friggen’ photo?? One without my LEGS!? Honestly I started carrying a tripod (Manfrotto carbon fiber) just so I don’t have to say thanks and later regret saying thanks because their photos this would be a killer app I would get the best shots by using them to get the best shots of me

Interesting... I carry my actual camera around me and I have a good understanding of the focal range and composition so I can ask the person taking my picture to step back, point up, etc. Now that's more for people I know. But not letting somebody pinch to zoom is really the most important part of not ruining a photo!

The issue isn't about explaining xz, it's about explaining Postgres. "It's a very popular piece of database software, and Andres' job is making sure that whenever people make changes to it, it doesn't get slower". There you go.

The Linkerd steering committee only met three times, most recently in May 2021. [1]

(Its charter [2] requires it to meet quarterly.)

Three of its four members have since left the companies that they were working at, so at this point it seems there are zero to one members.

There is no precedent for removing a project from the CNCF. They could, of course, fork it under a new name.
