| JayF | Not sure the right place to put this, but I just found out https://github.com/facebookincubator/cinder exists -- is there any concern about confusion between this and our project of the same name? And/or if so, are foundation people looking into it? | 21:30 |
|---|---|---|
| JayF | I read "threads is powered by an internal fork of 'cinder'" and got very confused until I figured this out | 21:31 |
| gmann | i think we have many code name similar to our projects | 21:32 |
| gmann | i remember 'devstack' a company itself | 21:33 |
| JayF | I guess so, this one seemed newer (at least recently made public) and is a python runtime, so it crosses over with actual-cinder quite a bit. | 21:34 |
| fungi | yeah, the "cinder" fork of python has been a thing for a few years already. the good news is they're trying to get most of the work upstreamed into cpython which means it will probably cease to be as notable | 21:34 |
| fungi | like how apple has a programming language called swift, or netflix has an application gateway project called zuul | 21:34 |
| JayF | I didn't realize Netflix zuul was different | 21:35 |
| fungi | the bad news is that there are more open source projects than available names, so collisions are inevitable. the good news is there are more open source projects | 21:35 |
| JayF | Yeah; I thought this was new because of all the chatter about it being used for threads | 21:37 |
| gmann | during initial time, we found tempest a existing package on pypi when we were releasing openstack tempest | 21:37 |
| fungi | a lot of (fb/meta) cinder work is dovetailing into the "faster cpython" effort | 21:37 |
| knikolla | there are more open source projects than desirable names :) we could start naming software like the stars | 21:56 |
| fungi | sure, or use uuids | 22:02 |
| JayF | git push `cat ironic-uuid.txt` | 22:05 |
| fungi | ironic-cat-uuids needs to be a project now. can you make that happen? | 22:26 |
| fungi | for buzzword relevance, it should use ai/ml to identify pictures of cats from the web and then overlay uuids instead of memes, then redistribute as nfts | 22:28 |
| knikolla | the ironic bit would be that since there is already a project with a cat mascot, the cat project can't have a cat for a mascot. | 22:29 |
| fungi | pretty sure we can make the case that it's an integral new feature for cloud infrastructure | 22:29 |
| JayF | the irony is that it's not a way to generate uuids for cats | 22:31 |
| JayF | it uses AI to generate unique colorations on cats that one can use as a unique identifier | 22:31 |
| fungi | exactly | 22:32 |
| JayF | brb, doing a random thing on midjourney ;) | 22:32 |
| JayF | fungi: https://home.jvf.cc/~jay/cat-uuid.png | 22:34 |
| fungi | perfect. my check is in the mail | 22:37 |
| JayF | for $10/mo, midjourney will give you access to my ironic-cat-uuid creator, just ask it for > a cat with such unique colorations that it can be used as a uuid | 22:37 |
| JayF | where can I send the bill for an hour of AI consulting? ;) | 22:38 |
| fungi | my cats assure me they'll take care of the payment, no worries | 22:38 |
| JayF | I'm sure the check is being put in the mail right meow | 22:39 |
| fungi | ;) | 22:39 |
