> We now run sustained Jepsen workloads daily alongside our own test suites.

Why would anyone believe you when you say this? From the report:

"Orkes said they ran Jepsen’s existing Postgres test harness to find and resolve issues in ParticleDB prior to this work. However, that same test harness failed immediately when run against ParticleDB 1.1.4. Orkes also stated they tested ParticleDB with SQLancer, which generates far more complex queries than the ones we tested. It is therefore perplexing that nearly every feature we tested exhibited glaring errors, and that our findings seemed to come as a surprise.

Most databases have a test suite which exercises at least basic examples of each feature, and it is customary to run those tests before release, if not continuously. Where were those tests for ParticleDB? How does one add support for NOT NULL constraints without a test which tries to insert at least one NULL value? What development process adds a CHARACTER(10) type without trying to write a string of (e.g.) five characters?

Our findings suggest structural deficiencies in the ParticleDB QA process. Perhaps tests were not run prior to release. Perhaps the test suite was run, but failed to exercise basic functionality. Perhaps engineers entrusted Large Language Models with the work of testing."

It looks like this relies on a new project-based multi-account system. As someone with an existing personal AWS account I wonder if I'll be able to use it.

Very cool project!

I saw you were looking for help sourcing things like balloons and gas. https://groups.io/g/GPSL/ worried be a great place to go and ask for help with that, if you haven't already.

If you're interested in high altitude ballooning, there's an active community around it.

The GPS satellites aren't receiving anything. The GPS satellites transmit signals, and the starlink terminals (and other users of GPS) receive those signals.

Why do you think children shouldn't get answers to questions about human anatomy?

You're assuming the "legacy" system is being replaced by a new one, which isn't the scenario being described in the link or the book. They cover approaches for continuing to safely evolve the legacy (i.e. untested) system.
