I would use a hash of the body content (the query) as a URL parameter

/?hash=123456789

So the majority of the hardware should stay on the moon where latency isn't so critical. There the cooling won't be the problem.

It is so simple that I had to look very slowly to understand. Nicely done.

As what we say here in Brazil:

"The world doesn't go round. It flips over!"

Your comment remembered me of ESA normalization value for the Sentinel-2 level-2 satellite image quantization.

Something like this:

Digital Number DN=0 remains the “NO_DATA” value

For a given DN in [1; 1;215-1], the L2A SR reflectance value will be:

L2A_SRi = (L2A_DNi + BOA_ADD_OFFSETi) / QUANTIFICATION_VALUE

All Python versions are LTS if you consider 5-year a good measure.

It is the same for me. Predicability is better than any optimization.

"Python 3.14 shipped with a new incremental garbage collector. However, we’ve had a number of reports of significant memory pressure in production environments.

We’ve decided to revert it in both 3.14 and 3.15, and go back to the generational GC from 3.13."

Sounds the right move for me

You can use both. In the mountains I would appreciate redundancy.

I think LLMs are accelerating us toward a Dune-like universe, where humans come before AI.

Wow. I saved the link for emergencies. And I sent it to all my team. It is like a diff tool but to advance the schema.

I don't think MariaDB ColumnStore has any kind of advantage. It is just an append-only storage format with some columnar concepts.

This ColumnStore is very simple and just do table scans sequentially on every query. It doesn't support indexes and unique constraints. It is almost an append-only serialization file format, but with some columnar concepts.

I am hosting user data from the database. It is very easy with this stack: - PostgreSQL with PostGIS - Django with MVT-tiles plugin - MapLibre
