• Rabbit data breach: all r1 responses ever given can be downloaded
  2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 26 Jun 2024

  The r1 is not just not-their-first, it's a pivot that reuses code from their earlier endeavours. (which itself is fine, like, that's what you'd expect from a pivot, it's just that their PR strategy relies on claiming those past projects are wholly unrelated.)

  When they rug-pulled GAMA, as consolation prize they "open sourced"[0] a few things.

  One of their many promises was that their space-station "metaverse" would have "Quantum Engine AI Integration" (letting you talk to NPCs, among other things). They released a lightly edited Unreal Engine game template (the "metaverse"), along side a file named `api.yml`[1] which documents an AsyncAPI[2] API (the "AI integration"). There is no actual integration, the API spec is just positioned adjacent to the Unreal project - there's a note in the README that amounts to "integrate it yourself".

  The back-end component was never open-sourced, and they've long since shut down the API server, but based on the docs, the API used by the r1 is clearly a direct evolution of that design.

  As for the R1's API, there is no documentation, but I partially reverse-engineered it and wrote some docs of my own[3], which is enough to see the similarities.

• In software architecture you have to recognize when you're adding a rocket stage

  There's a point to the referenced comment, but more interesting to me is that there was a link in a comment there to https://www.asyncapi.com which is something I wish existed about 7 years ago, because it's a spec for everything that we created for a system that needed this and tooling.

• 10 realtime data sources you won't believe are free!
  3 projects | dev.to | 24 Jan 2024

  AsyncAPI: Interested in how to define your WebSocket APIs? One of the most advanced realtime specifications is the AsyncAPI specification, which comes with various generators for code and documentation, as well as renderers for the specifications.

• FastStream: Python's framework for Efficient Message Queue Handling
  11 projects | dev.to | 16 Oct 2023

  Our journey with FastStream started when we needed to integrate our machine learning models into a customer's Apache Kafka environment. To streamline this process, we created FastKafka using AIOKafka, AsyncAPI, and asyncio. It was our first step in making message queue management easier.

  FastStream supports in-memory testing, AsyncAPI schema generation and more... If you are interested, please support our project by giving a GH start and joining our discord server.

• An AsyncAPI Example: Building Your First Event-driven API
  6 projects | dev.to | 19 Sep 2023

  However, in order for the system to work effectively, there must be a common understanding between the components regarding events and their data structures. This is where AsyncAPI comes in; it helps define a contract that describes how the components communicate and behave effectively.

• Is this a viable approach to a chat microservice?

  You can also take a look at https://www.asyncapi.com/ (a spec for asynchronous APIs). It's useful for this use case, that is, building a well structured websocket interface with pub/sub.
