Interesting, it seems that it's Source Available but converts to Open Source (AGPL) in 2031. First time I've seen licensing like that.

https://github.com/clockworklabs/SpacetimeDB/blob/master/LIC...


The date keeps changing on each release so every version bump becomes AGPL five years from the date its published. Its an interesting model, but necessary to be aware of the nuance in case you ever want to consume it.

ml5.js has a similar license: https://github.com/ml5js/ml5-library?tab=License-1-ov-file

Their license is basically "use freely unless our community decides you violated the code of conduct, for three years"


The focus of this seems to be entirely AI agents, but I wonder if there's a future where browsers implement this and us humans can finally get micropayments in the web. It's been tried unsuccessfully many times but always falls prey to the chicken-and-egg problem. Maybe the AI hype will finally give it the push it needs for widespread deployment.


Yes! I’m a PM on the team that is building this. We want this to work equally well for human payments or agent payments. Low friction micropayments are the problem to solve, but once solved, it can work for either segment.

Feel free to email me at (my username)@(my company) with ideas or suggestions here!


Never going to happen, and what you're building is worse than any net neutrality fears we had in the past. Except instead of Comcast we now need to fight against Cloudflare


Why is it worse? This seems like a good alternative to large monthly fees, where you can pay per use.

5c to read an article? Sure. $20/month subscription? No way.


I can't tell you why Fargate is so slow, but the reason Lambda containers are so fast is because it doesn't actually load the image. It loads a manifest of the layers and the files in each, and then each file is loaded on-demand from a multi-tier cache. 90% of the image is never loaded, and 90% of the remainder is served from local cache. It's a pretty cool architecture.


> So, the "Ai is not the default" claim is bullshit

Where was this claim made? Nowhere in the article says that.


I assume Blueberry is a nod to the machine being a Raspberry Pi.


I can't make sense of your comment, but whatever you're trying to get at is wrong: Table sugar is sucrose. Corn syrup is mostly glucose and contains no fructose. HFCS is commonly produced at 42% and 55% fructose formulations. I don't think HFCS is meaningfully more or less harmful than any other sugar, but chemically there's a significant difference.


Sucrose is a disaccharide composed of 1 glucose and 1 fructose molecule, so the GP comment is correct, sugar is 50:50 glucose and fructose.


It's not quite that dire. Statewide 69% normal to date. Snowpack peaks March-April, so still have a ways to go in the season. https://snow.water.ca.gov

But yeah, snowmelt plays a huge role in supplying water into the summer, so just looking at precipitation totals isn't the full picture.


That's hilarious and right on brand for Google that they spend millions developing cutting-edge technology and fumble the ball making a chat app.


Every Google app is a chat app, except maybe search.


Is Google Drive a chat app? Is Google Photos a drive app? I don’t know what you mean


Once you open a file, it is very much a chat app. Comments and chat work for anything you can preview btw, not just Google Docs stuff.

Not sure how you can access the chat in the directory view.


In Google Photos shared albums there is a tab that I can only describe as a chatroom.


Isn’t there a difference between having a tab that is similar to a chat, to being a chat app?

8kbit/min, you mean.


Oh yeah lol, whoops. Still applies sadly.
