I think they probably like having an GDP 25x larger than North Korea's. Gets a lot harder to export your products around the world when you're squared off against the US.
Love Go (and async python, for different reasons) but miss me with the gRPC unless you are building hardened internal large enterprise systems. We adopted it at a late stage startup for a microservices architecture, and the pain is immense.
So many issues with type duplication due to weird footguns around the generated types. Lots of places where we needed to essentially duplicate a model due to the generated types not allowing us to modify or copy parts of a generated type's value and so forth.
Nice, thanks for the suggestion. I got it set up just before leaving town for a few days, so have been doing a little tinkering with it. I was hoping to have a setup with LM Studio, where my laptop could use the API Server from the mini over the TS network. Unfortunately doesn't seem to be the case, so I'll set up a configuration like you mentioned to just have a global client from any device on the netowrk.
It's very cool to be able to have access to such a high horsepower machine from anywhere though. Next step is figuring out the networking interface to be able access the host GPU/ollama API from pods running in a Colima VM/k3s cluster setup.
Thanks for all your writing on these topics Simon! It has turned me from a bit of a naysayer to an optimist around this tooling, especially being able running stuff locally with access to tools. Have an M4 Pro mac mini arriving this week to have a similar self hosted setup over tailscale.
