Besides being hot, this take is very correct
and points out to a fundamental tradeoff in the storage layer being centralized versus distributed
git is distributed and that makes total sense for code which takes small space by its nature. it is cheap for everyone to duplicate it locally. this proved to be very useful over e.g svn, when devs could develop independently from the centralized server
AI artifacts, however, are 1 million times bigger than code. in that case, the bottleneck becomes storage and network. decentralization and version control become lower priority. they can be sacrificed
the tradeoff tilts towards getting the cheapest possible storage and transfer. because you will need a LOT of that
I regret to announce to competitors that Hugging Face has already won this game when they acquired Xet. the tech just works, and the network effects are immense
My posts here on X now sync automatically to my blog, giving me full ownership of my content and zero effort SEO
For free, no API costs
My long-form posts are automatically featured and titled on the front page of solmaz [dot] io. Filtering is done by my claw running a sync-x skill daily, which then notifies me on Discord
How do I scrape the posts?
ALL the posts I view (including the ones I post) are saved locally using @kubmi's xTap and then synced to a private repo using my extension on it xtap-sync
My claw has access to that private repo and can run programmatic tasks like sync-x, summarize what happened that day, notify me about any topics I want
