there's been demos of using SQLite client-side, with the database hosted in S3, and HTTP range requests used to only fetch the necessary rows for the query.
there might be some piece I'm missing, but the first thing that comes to mind would be using that, possibly with the full-text search extension, to handle searching the metadata.
at that point you'd still be paying S3 egress costs, but I'd be very surprised if it wasn't at least an order of magnitude less expensive than Vercel.
and since it's just static file hosting, it could conceivably be moved to a VPS (or a pair of them) running nginx or Caddy or whatever, if the AWS egress was too pricey.
> Every time I browse Google, Medium, or news portals, I run into articles that feel "too perfect." The structure is flawless, the grammar is impeccable, but there is absolutely no soul in them.
I get this feeling often when reading "Show HN" posts. including this one.
That’s a fair point, and actually, that’s exactly the irony I’m trying to fight. I built dwrite.me because I’m tired of that 'flawless but soulless' content too. Maybe my explanation here sounds too polished, but the platform itself is the opposite it's about the friction of manual typing. I’d love for you to try typing something there; it’s much harder to be 'perfect' when you can't just copy-paste your way through it.
and why is that bad? LLMs make the dev experience faster, but you need good knowledge to use them well. The AI had a lot of problems developing the tool, and I had to fix the whole disaster
> Sealos is an AI-native Cloud Operating System built on Kubernetes
I am once again asking for a moratorium on calling something an "operating system" unless it is an actual operating system
it runs on k8s. k8s runs on Linux. Linux is the operating system.
I get that it's tempting to call yourself an "operating system" as a way of signalling "we have big ambitions, bigger than a library, bigger than a framework, bigger than a platform..."
but...just stop. it's annoying and misleading. your GitHub repo is 60% TypeScript. you built a fancy GUI frontend to k8s.
I was one of the downvoters, and at the time I downvoted it, it was a very different comment. this is the original (copied from another tab that I hadn't refreshed yet):

regardless of the author, I think slop of that sort belongs on reddit, not HN.

Thank you sooo much for that!! I really appreciate that!
Built on top of Chromium (CEF)
• AI features powered by local vision or language model also have support for OpenAI compatable models
• Uses per context profiles and proxy/tor
• Ready to deploy with Docker
> Inches/feet being base 12 divides better into thirds and fourths, which is very useful in construction.
all of the math normal people use in everyday life happens in base 10.
"it's easy because it's base 12" is an absolutely ludicrous idea.
what's 7'5" divided by 3? divided by 4?
what happens if you need to divide by 5?
and sure, there are various mental math tricks you can learn to make this easier...or you could just use the metric system.
7'5" is 226cm. that's a normal, boring, everyday, base 10 integer.
you don't need to learn a special set of "mental math for base 12" tricks. instead you can re-use the same mental math tricks you use for every other base 10 number.
I see this argument repeated every single time someone tries to defend Fahrenheit.
if "room temperature" was smack in the middle, at 50 degF, you might have a point.
but no, it's pure post-hoc rationalization.
being naked at 0 degF will kill you. being naked at 100 degF will (usually) not. they're not remotely equivalent.
instead, think of it this way - human beings are mostly water, and 0 to 100 degC is "percentage of the way from water's freezing point to boiling point".
room temperature is "about 20% of the way to boiling". 40% or higher starts to cause our bodies to overheat. a typical sauna will be somewhere between 50 and 70% of the way.
nope.
