I think that as communities spread (as with increased joining of online communities) we lost much in our local communities, this feels to me like a sort of extension of that, it's a community of one (well kinda, it's a sum of communities, and kinda missing the bidirectional communication, of the community) maybe?

Somewhat related I suppose, for reasons I am often in a situation where I can use matplotlib and make a plot then save it and then SCP it locally to view it. I got tired of that and started making command line plots so I can see the stuff I want right there, it's not insanely detailed but for my needs it's been fine. This def got me thinking about it lol

Definitely interesting, I don't see an obvious comment on hardware requirements, do you know what those are?

I've played around with OSRM, and Nominatim, etc, but had to do some trickery to run on a raspberry pi.

(For anyone interested in running some of these kind of things on a pi, I talk about it generally here, I need to post an update with more info at some point. http://blog.onaclovtech.com/2025/02/general-purpose-to-speci...)


I do not have published benchmarks yet (I want to collect a few real region packs first and then write this up properly).

One goal of Corviont is to avoid the on-device pain you hit with OSRM/Nominatim: the region pack is built once elsewhere, and the edge box mostly just serves prebuilt artifacts (PMTiles tiles, Valhalla routing tiles, and a SQLite geocoder index based on Nominatim).

In practice, requirements scale with region size and traffic. For larger regions the main constraint is usually SSD storage plus enough RAM headroom for routing/cache. I also picked Valhalla partly because it generally has a smaller RAM footprint than OSRM at serving time (OSRM is extremely fast but tends to be more memory-hungry).


I will say that after my discrete math class we really only talked about how to write a proof, and well, it really didn't help for me. (I think we were supposed to get further into stuff, but well, the class wasn't paced well, new professor, etc).


I read the same thing, sooo i put em in, they might work for an hour they might work for 10 mins.... great


I'm not sure how you've interpreted the phrase "almost indefinite" as meaning "incredibly short lifespan" but it undoubtedly means they have a long but unknown lifespan.


Because of indefinite's definition. It doesn't mean long or short it means unknown. Which is pretty much worthless.

It's probably a typo and they meant to write "almost infinite". Which actually makes sense.


Perhaps misread as "indeterminate" ?


I like it, I'm taking the AI for Robotics class on Udacity, and I have a chromebook as my primary machine, I'm going to bookmark this and likely use it most of the time. Does it support math functions like power, exponential, etc? and how?


Yes, it does. Actually any JavaScript works. So you can do Math.pow, Math.sin etc etc


If you dont want to open your network ports, you could setup an amazon aws or something (or firebase, disclaimer im a firebase torch/fan) to allow control from outside your house


I've solved this problem for myself, and I suspect that many other people have it, but nobody has shown any interest in my solution so far:

It's a command queue that allows your Raspi/Arduino to listen to commands and your control apps to issue them. I use secret keys for the commands, but you can also use crypto to sign the requests. It's been working very well for me, and with very low latency (the DNS query and TLS setup are the slowest parts, it seems).


posting as breadcrumbs. I'll need this in the next two months.


It should also be on the first page if you Google "message queue internet of things".


I have gone: spelunking in the deepest caves; and climbing on the tallest mountains; but my breadcrumbs always lead home.

May have to port out of Scala :) I would enjoy using this for my webdvr but tailor to tv guide recommendations.


Obviously hey were playing on it, but captain america 2 kinda nails the problem


The problem is that a cult of Nazis have infiltrated the NSA?


Hahaha not quite what i was implying, i guess the idea that someone could be building things without our knowledge to destroy society


I think your job is to some extent what you make of it. While it is true that work is handed down to you, it is possible to create your own work, and in a lot of cases (in my exp) it shows favorably on you as an employee. Plus its more fun to get paid to do what you want while having to do what you are told.
