Apparently by taking prior art (DNS, server,user interface), and packaging it into a single "product" (DNS software optimized for specific hardware) - You've created a new thing.
Sounds better than a city full of shops designed to separate people from their money buying stuff they don’t need.
Life is about building memories, connecting with people and sharing experiences. Having a variety of places to do that (update: including shops) is nice in my opinion.
Various hypotheses. Money laundering, VAT scamming, tax abuse, or just outrageous profiteering based on never being around when the bill for VAT or business rates come due.
There is one famous, very real, very popular American candy store in London -- Kingdom Of Sweets -- which is absolutely legit and has been trading for twenty years, having started elsewhere. It was famous in British geek culture for being where you bought all the sweets you heard US geeks talking about on Foothills and Surfers and the like.
And then there's a couple of likely legit competitors, and then... a whole layer of fakery, fraud and shell companies.
It can't be disputed that (central) London is one of the world's biggest tourist attractions, and much of it is geared towards activities. But it's far from the only factor to life in a city that's larger, more diverse, and more distinctive than ever. It's one of the most varied places in the entire world when it comes to demography, wealth, cultures, and opportunities – is this a bad thing?
Eh? This is a giant microwave telecom tower. They're all over the world (find a large city that doesn't have a convenient nearby hill, and there are probably one or two) and they're ~all disused. Fibre made them essentially useless decades ago, and the London one doesn't even have its antennae anymore.
It's presumably listed, so they can't just demolish it. What do you _want_ them to do with it, if not this?
I think RAG approach with Vector DB is more likely. Just like when you add a file to your prompt / custom GPTs.
Adding the entire file (or memory in this case) would take up too much of the context. So just query the DB and if there's a match add it to the prompt after the conversation started.
These "memories" seem rather short, much shorter than the average document in a knowledge base or FAQ, for example. Maybe they do get compressed to embedding vectors, though.
I could imagine that once there's too many, it would indeed make sense to classify them as a database, though: "Prefers cats over dogs" is probably not salient information in too many queries.

Neither GUI, nor application paths and standards are built in to rust.
I’m as critical of the rust fanboyism as anyone. I don’t see a specific purpose for this app that, as far as I can tell, already exists and is built in to MacOS, indicating that it’s an example being “upvoted for rust” (not saying “don’t build things”. Practice and fun are perfectly valid reasons to build something that exists). But you could at least bring valid points.
