No thanks
The original Raspberry announcement about Raspberry Pi Connect
> All devices get remote shell out-of-the-box, and if you use a Wayland compositor, such as Wayfire, you can also share your screen. In practice, this means you can use screen sharing with Raspberry Pi 4 and later models, and remote shell with all models of Raspberry Pi, even the oldest.
Now I have another task to purge this out of my pi.

And how do you measure the api latency? Any do's and dont's you have learned related to this metrics?
Re:Should I Use jwts For Authentication Tokens?

Start with usual session based authentication. Keep it until you see the absolute need to move to JWT. And make sure you understand JWT and "invalidating JWT" before using it - https://github.com/gitcommitshow/auth-jwt?tab=readme-ov-file...

> at the end of the day prompts are just a API call and it's easier to write standard code that treats LLM calls as a flaky API call
They are also dull (higher latency for same resources) APIs if you're self-hosting LLM. Special attention needed to plan the capacity.

Can you ELI5, how did you make this possible? I see the readme asking to download a binary and then also mentioning sqlite extension. I have never had exp with sqlite ext, so not quite sure how do they work. Appreciate how does this solution work under the hood.

And this understanding is extremely important when you are working on rate limiting. Instead of controlling the rate of requests, one must control the number of concurrent requests - https://docs.fluxninja.com/concepts/concurrency-limiter
Throughput (number of requests processed) is different from capacity (number of requests that can be handled). Managing capacity is more practical and optimum solution than managing the throughput

Prototype to Production Roadmap for Generative AI-Based Products
Re:Ask HN: Good resources to plan the right plugin architecture
on Wednesday December 27, 2023 @10:41PM (#38789754)
And yes, specifically talking about plugin based architecture. Not just a code refactor. Decoupling is the first step and the plugins will be created by internal team initially, the next will be to ensure security when external users publish their own plugins. The tech stack is Node.js.
Ask HN: Good resources to plan the right plugin architecture
I am seeking solution to plan architecture to support new addon that can enhance the value of an existing web app. In current form, the solution is npm packages. We build npm packages that use the product's SDK to interact with its api but when we also want to have a ui component, it becomes a circular dependency. Also there are multiple common components copied across various packages that are...

Ask HN: What would you ask an LLM powered code search engine?
I'm struggling to understand the value of LLM powered code search engine (there are quite a few that have come up in the last 1 yr). Help me with your answers if you see any value of such engines in searching your internal codebase and docs, what would be the number one question that you'd ask?If you have tried any already, would love to hear your experience as well.
Re:What I learned getting acquired by Google

The acquisition seems to be old, Y2019.
I am not sure if you wrote this blog just now or had written earlier and published now. How have your perspective changed about the decision to get acquired since 2019, if it did?

I doubt it will be a huge success but this sparks interesting thoughts - how to put all these things on such a tiny board and power it up with a tiny Li battery.
How to build it at home? FEMTO-ITX seems like the smallest motherboard to get started with. Is there a better/smaller alternative?

Re:Transparent Telemetry for Open-Source Projects

While this articles point out all the right explanation on why telemetry is needed and how it can be made little more transparent by Go toolchain acting as intermediary and publishing the telemetry data publicly, it fails to point out the disadvantages/risks of such system. At the core, the issue is about trust and the user not having any incentive.
