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.

Re:Downsides of Offline First

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.

You should have a look at RxDB which does exactly what you have described. Also notice that neither firebase nor supabase is really offline-first.

I made a whatsapp group where I am the sole participant. This makes it easy to work on my "todo-list" on all devices synchronized.
I also did this some year ago. A big learning was that you should define the allowed input types in the logic object.

He is right. Implying that Webassembly is strongly typed is garbage and tells much about the rest of the content.

This is so dangerous to use. There have been hundrets of these sites in the past. As soon as they have enough traffic they silently redirect or change affiliate ids etc.
Do not use them, the rel=noreferer is good enough.

If you love hasura and want something like firebase, please check out the tutorial with hasura + RxDB. It is like having a firebase with better offline-first and more features and of course without vendor lock-in.

If you like PouchDB, you should also check out RxDB. It is build on top of PouchDB and is optimised for realtime-applications where you can subscribe to queries and stuff.
