While the content was interesting, the AI-slop-stench was repelling.
Talking about AI (sorry!), perhaps an AI assisted screen reader could remove repetitive elements (it appends "(read only)" to every. single. field.) in a smart fashion? Does this already exist?
We're seeing AI being used to improve a11y in quite a few places: (Live) transcripts for video conferences, image to text (VQA, visual question answering) etc.
I like Podman, but what's up with that grey text colour? It looks ugly and the contrast of 4.96:1 makes it hard to read (does not reach WCAG AAA level).
It's a cool video and I like the idea in general. The author mentions that the code runs in a sandbox. I'm surprised that WASM hasn't come up. You want the code to be platform agnostic anyway (it should run whether you start Outshell on Linux, macOS or whatever on different CPU architectures).
What‘s the advantage of using ConnectX-5 Ex VPI NICs instead of much cheaper ConnectX-3 VPI NICs to connect two machines directly, other than PCIe 4.0 instead of PCIe 3.0?
Can they offload more tasks when doing RDMA? Solid information is hard to come by.
Also I‘m not convinced about the whole cost issue. A nice server from a bare metal provider like OVH will be so much cheaper than the AWS equivalent, you can pay for a ton of traffic.
What if we want to put something on paper today for it to survive as long as possible?
1-minute research:
Paper:
100% cotton rag or linen rag paper with alkaline reserve. Acid-free and lignin-free.
Ink:
Genuine carbon ink applied with a classic dip pen.
Storage:
ISO 16245 archival box, Less than 15°C, 30-50% humidity, dark, no oxygen exchange. Always store horizontally. Wear white 100% cotton gloves.
Printing:
If you want to print instead of hand-write:
Piezography carbon printing or pigment-based inks used by professional desktop photo printers, matte black or photo black ink, printed on digital Fine Art Archival Paper.
Place a single sheet of archival-grade tissue paper or glassine paper between every single page of your document
I think the key is to write something interesting that's worth preserving. That may be the most difficult part.
