Is this a service, a github repo, something else? did you forget to include a link? have you considered a service that does the opposite?

The former

Wonder how DuckDB compares here to what TiDB did using Clickhouse instead

I’m quite certain that if DuckDB had been open-sourced and reached stability around 2020, TiDB would have definitely chosen DuckDB instead of ClickHouse.

Interesting. I'd think they serve different purposes

To confirm I have the option to run essentially the whole stack on my own in my own hardware if I so choose? That's the ultimate unlock of Open Source trust and no lock-in. Makes it much easier for me to adopt you if you have that

Yes - since the framework itself is open-source, you are free to take it and run anywhere you'd like. Of course, the experience is much better if you run on Modelence Cloud since it's zero config and also gives you the dashboards / UI to manage everything out of the box. But ultimately there is no lock-in whatsoever, you could even fork the framework repo and modify it as you wish.

Genuinely curious in what situation would you actually want transactional consistency in the same session as you are doing analytical or vector retrieval style use cases?

I might make the argument that paying the tax of delivering what you're arguing for has so many significant downsides in the end you'd have something you wouldn't really want anyway

I'd be curious to know simply how large the thermal radiator necessary to keep a typical GPU server cooled would be. Do they completely dwarf the server size? Can you do something with some esoteric material that is not particularly load-bearing but holds up well in space to get around some of these challenges?

Sure but you could do that with a simple disc in space

Actually, the data centers can be the discs. As long as the data centers can crunch on, we don't need to stay alive here on earth

Indeed I was wondering for a moment if amazon had decided to double down on it

This is why the winning disturbed systems optimize for CP. It's worth preserving consistency at the expense of rare availability losses particularly on cloud infrastructure

Also, giving up on availability doesnt imply we will be down for a longtime. It’s just some requests might get dropped. As long as the client knows the request was rejected they can try later.

Mehdi Hasssan worked for Al Jazeera which is funded by Qatar and is an arm of the Muslim Brotherhood with a very specific political agenda. You'll notice they barely are covering the Iran News

He also worked for MSNBC.
