ACID describes four guarantees of reliable database transactions: atomicity (all or nothing), consistency (valid state transitions), isolation (concurrent transactions do not interfere), and durability (committed data survives failures). BASE systems relax these for availability.
ACID properties - Interview Concepts - ExtraBrain is part of ExtraBrain's local-first Mac workflow for live interviews, meetings, transcription, provider control, and responsible AI use.
ACID describes four guarantees of reliable database transactions: atomicity (all or nothing), consistency (valid state transitions), isolation (concurrent transactions do not interfere), and durability (committed data survives failures). BASE systems relax these for availability.
ExtraBrain has 1 current public platform family, macOS, with support for 2 Mac CPU families: Apple Silicon and Intel.
ExtraBrain has 3 configurable data paths to review before sensitive work: local Parakeet transcription, local Gemma 4 where installed and compatible, and external providers you choose.
Atomicity, consistency, isolation, and durability together make a transaction reliable.
Read committed, repeatable read, and serializable trade concurrency against anomalies like dirty and phantom reads.
BASE systems favor availability and eventual consistency over strict ACID guarantees.
Use any live AI assistant only where interview, workplace, school, and platform rules allow it. Do not use generated answers to misrepresent your skills, experience, or authorship.
Short answers for people and crawlers comparing ExtraBrain with other live AI assistants.
Atomicity, consistency, isolation, and durability, the guarantees that keep transactions correct despite failures and concurrency.
ACID guarantees strict consistency; BASE favors availability and accepts eventual consistency, common in distributed NoSQL stores.
