I'll be interested to see how this affects warpstream... they might've just gotten a free 10x performance boost due to being built entirely on top of S3.


Co-founder of WarpStream here. We wrote a short article explaining how the economics of this new storage class work for a system like ours: https://www.warpstream.com/blog/s3-express-is-all-you-need


This such a stupid idea, because you can simply use a buffer for that if you will eventually write to standard s3. But I agree it will make money.


Super cool! I really appreciate the fast turnaround on this blog post.


Most of the books it recommended were extremely popular titles (Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, the Martian, etc) and so out of the first 5 recommendations I got, I had already read 4 of them. This would be a lot more useful with a larger catalog.


I think there's a bit of overfitting in the output. If you put in a book in the middle of a series, it will sometimes recommend the predecessor.


Have you had a look at Starlark? Its a python-like scripting language built specifically for embedding into applications. Originally it was written in Java to be used in Bazel but its been re-implemented in go and rust and has found use in a bunch of other places.

Yeah, it’s cool but doesn’t fit my use case. I’m not scripting configuration. I’m scripting functionality. I need to be able to enforce interfaces and signatures easily all while having near-go-like performance.

I’ll play around with it some more and see if I can’t get some OOP pydantic-like stuff going with it. Otherwise it’s a non-starter.


If you want near-go-like performance, Jacobin doesn't help you either.


I can handle <10 orders of magnitude performance loss, I can't handle 100+ as I get with Lua and other scripting engines in go.


Found the important part in the terraform license, for anyone else interested:
