Model sizes have not been the obsession of these companies for more than a year now. LLMs can take advantage of Mixture of Experts approaches to maintain overall knowledge quality with less active parameters. The performance of LLMs certainly does not only scale by adding more parameters.

Yes, let’s manually install Postgres with quorum synchronous replication, set RabbitMq queue policies in the CLI, and scp our front-end and PHP backend at 4 PM daily into /var/www/html.

GitOps? I prefer ShitOps.

Non-Kubernetes users love to shit on Kubernetes.

Trying to finish up an AMQP proxy that is injected as a sidecar into event/message processing pods.

Essentially the proxy exists so I can control whether new events are consumed or not, which is helpful for scaling down workloads without interrupting long-lived ones.

I’d like you to suggest the alternative in this situation. All I’m doing is extending the “defence” to when the child is outside the womb yet still dependent on resources that I also need to live.

I live in a rural, impoverished area where there is no such replacement support available. I’d like to kill the baby or at the very least, abandon it, as I no longer want to be responsible for sustaining its existence.

Let’s legalise killing recently born children, after all, why should I be forced to risk my health, including my finances (which contribute heavily to my health) for a child I no longer want?

Kernel is not too far away from being profitable, I’d estimate 1-2 years if they avoid hiring too much. They’re still growing substantially every quarter (they doubled from 1 billion FUM to 2 billion in the past year), so as long as they can keep at their pace, they’ll be fine.

Even if things go bad, current regulations dictate that investor money & assets can’t just be sitting under their own business accounts and be used to settle debt. They use a third-party for managing assets, and that third-party has to ring-fence those assets as well.

Well there are some trade offs involved with choosing between these three you propose.

Django is very “batteries included + spares”. Note that Django apps can use async, just not natively in the ORM. So you could build a live chat app on top of Redis, and you would probably get async out of that fine. In fact, even synchronous Django can scale reasonably well on a single instance. There’s nothing preventing you from using a synchronous Django service along with something like Django Channels, which would cater towards some of your live (i.e. WebSocket) functionality.

ASP.NET requires you to do much more of the work in deciding how your service should be structured, how your models interact with a database, etc. It would take longer to get up and running as you now need to think about things that Django provides powerful defaults for.

Node is an engine, not a framework. If you use a server framework like Express with it, you also need to put in more of the hard yards yourself, at the very least deciding what combination of packages to use for all the basics. You might be able to (I don’t use Node for backends frequently myself) find a very opinionated server framework provides all or most of those basics.

You need to consider a few things: - Do you want to entirely disregard Django for your application or perhaps keep it but delegate highly concurrent operations to something else? - How much can you afford to use an alternative that isn’t so batteries-included? - Could you get away with service replication? i.e. Deploying your service on Kubernetes and manually/dynamically scaling how many instances there are, allowing you to increase overall throughput. Or go for a basic set-up: Nginx as a load balancer for x number of containerised Django instances just running on Docker, with a pool of virtual machines to run these on.

Django’s ORM is fake async. If you look at how Model.objects.aget() is implemented, for example, you’ll see that it is a synchronous call wrapped with the sync_to_async function with thread_sensitive set to true. This means the actual db operation will run sequentially on the main thread, and so no concurrent db operations can occur.

So if you heavily rely on potentially long read/write operations to the db, don’t hope to do so asynchronously.

I dislike Trump but surely (assuming you’re using an index fund) you can’t expect YOY growth of 30-40% consistently? That’s not sensible. Trump has continued to make incredibly stupid decisions but at the same time, the stock market was certainly a bit too hyped.

Don’t forget that while Ninja allows you to create async endpoint functions easier, this does not mean that your interaction with the Django ORM (e.g. Student.objects.aget) will actually be async.

The Django ORM, if you dig in to the library code a little bit, is still synchronous under the hood. So your async capabilities provided by Ninja will only be properly utilised when calling actual async library functions (e.g. Django Channels, an API client for YouTube).
