I like to extend the idea and would ask for a more ingraned concept of versions and version migration.
Basically what flyway does but on DB level.
You could ask your DB from any backend if its in a migration status or not, it would be first class citizen were its absolutly clear that a DB migration should NOT disrupt production, it could also make it much more longrunning.
Like let me schedule a migration over 1 or 2 days through the DB and thanks to statistics and knowledge it knows to do the big chunks at night for example.
Yes and thats not the case for crypto. For crypto you need to choose a cryptocoin, need to understand what a wallet is, best case install a secure wallet from the internet etc.
You don't need to know how visa works as long as you know how to register for a cc and know how to put that card into a device when paying.
The second biggest is the missing need: Most people don't have any advantage of using crypto. They go to work, get a salary, buy/sell things and thats it.
If you don't need to buy something illegal or really believe that there is still a soviety left to take some crypto in worst case scenario, fiat is great.
And i still argue that this 'soul' thing doesn't exist and it doesn't matter.
Music becomes popular not because it has a magic soul to it but because it triggers enough people at the right time.
And covers are often also super popular and i myself was not always aware that a cover was a cover. Which also indicates to me that some music wasn't magic because of its soul but because the search space for interesting/intriging music is HUGE and it takes time for us to walk through it.
Edit: Nonetheless, I do count myself to the group of people who value things more than others IF it has more personallity. Like if i know this thing is handmade and very well build vs. the same thing machine build.
But this is appreciation and luxury. In case of me not having the money to do so, i would not say that the mass produced thing is bad just because.
My point was that the interpretation or 'feeling' you get, doesn't has to align with what Miles Davis thought to induce.
Therefore it doesn't really matter what Miles Davis was planing to do because if Miles Davis doesn't tell you exactly what he felt and thought you would feel about it, but you still enjoy the music, you don't need a Miles Davis as long as you enjoy the music
I have bsaically 0 background knowledge of music and still enjoy it.
Do you know the story of the writer and his son? He wrote a book and this book was used at his sons school. The son wrote an analysis of the book and he got a bad grade because the teacher disagreed with the authors sons interpretation of his fathers book.
If an artist doesn't exactly tell us what they want us to feel, its nothing we can feel through magic.
I liked the cinemactic syncwave, but you know its a demo page. Its not included in a game, movie or something else.
Whats your job as a AI researcher for a small company?
When you mentioned prompting, i imagined you using vertex ai or smiliar 'slightly' lower level AI tools, but thats more ML Ops for me than AI research or AI integrator.
Are you talking about the green party in germany or other green party in the USA (i'm not aware of?) or are you talking about 'green people'?
Because if you mean the green party, it wasn't them it was the CDU/CSU shutting down nuclear power plants.
And with germany, Tschernobyl was a generational experience and at least for my mother frightning. I also did a presentation about it and watched Tagesschau from that time: People didn't know how to handle hidden rays and it was very unclear what it meant.
And still today, for certain regions of woods, you need to test your meat for radio activity because we still have issues with this.
Nonetheless, while i'm not particularly against it, the last big projects have failed, the amount of global unifed investment and knowledge needed is apparently not able to form.
With fusion, lets see. If PV and batteries are getting even cheaper and easier to use, you will potentially prefer to put PV onto everything instead of paying for fusion energy but we are way to far awai to tell
Building my app, deploying a container image and building a helm chart is not a lot of work if you have experience and the initial additional work is only happening once.
After that, you have your whole app definition in code, seting up a second or third env takes 5 minutes.
I really should write a blog article about my stack and the advantges of it (git, kubernetes, argocd, helm, ...)
I use k8s in a very small setup (3 worker nodes, 3 ctrl planes) in my startup. But i'm working professionally with k8s for 6 years.
My setup is relative big but also relative simple and most of it is also IaC. I don't need to backup my setup and i don't need to document how i setup everything.
I have blue/green deployment, multiply enviorrnments (dev, test, prod) configured 100% equal, a good monitoring stack + tracing, s3 replication, postgresql ha and offside backup.
i can shut down a node and nothing happens.
But you know, if k8s doesn't fit your time and experience and benefit estimation, don't use it.
