Glad to see I'm not the
only one actually scratching my head over time zones. It's a genius move to auto display times in the local user's zone but would be super helpful to state that fact somewhere otherwise I'm going to shrug and assume they're probably PDT or EDT and start doing mental arithmetic in my head while worrying I might have got the daylight savings wrong at either end. Bonus points for telling me what time zone you think I'm in... I have worked for companies that proxy all traffic through a different country, leading to not only a ton of dutch-language banner ads but timezone confusion to boot.
It sounds like you are talking about real-time data capture, analysis, visualization, encoding, and archiving. If so, what you describe is not just multimedia. It is a real-world hybrid of multiple specialities, and definitely becomes more difficult because you have to address all these aspects at once to meet your original goal.

If you had started with pre-recorded videos, you could imagine having pursued the challenges incrementally. Process a video and output some frame-by-frame analysis metadata. Process the analysis results and visualize them in the context of the source video imagery. Re-encode the results to a good storage format. Explore options for quality, correctness, performance, and resource requirements.

But, if you need to do this on live streams and run for indefinite periods of time, you suddenly need to be much more aware of computational delays, working memory sizes, buffering of input and output data, etc. You need it to work consistently and predictably while handling the full workload and any potential variability in other elements of the system. How much can the incoming video stream vary in bandwidth? How much can decoding, analysis, visualization, and encoding speeds vary with changes in the video content? How reliably can the input and output IO paths support the bandwidth?

And, as you mentioned, it becomes challenging to then squeeze this into a slower system than it was originally designed and tested on. Ultimately, you have to design for failure: think about how you want it to perform if it cannot satisfy the full objective in the time and resources available. Drop frames? Degrade stream quality? Drop entire low-priority streams...?

I think you have this backwards?

And I'd note that this is just an open letter signed by those willing. Perhaps a left-leaning subset.

But yes my first thought when I see this kind of thing is how people have been criticizing religious gatherings.

Edit: oh I see how it can be viewed the other direction, where "thee" is the right and "me" is the left.
I agree with all your points; and while we’re on the subject of optics reform, I have an entirely unsubstantiated pet theory that if we made police uniforms pink, we would see abuse of power drop substantially - the idea being to create a very different (visual and emotional) image of what a police officer is and what they do, and the pink specifically serving the dual purposes of a) reminding police that their job is less about force and more about supporting the community, and b) filtering out any men whose sense of masculinity is so withered/warped that they’d take issue with the standard uniform of a highly-esteemed servant of the community.
> From the perspective of the protesters, taking this opportunity to protest and possibly achieve change means hopefully lowering the general mortality risk for generations to come, not just in the immediate COVID future.

I didn't mention police because this was never just about the police.
1) One SF wifi mgmt. software startup had a 50,000 LOC product with 250,000 lines of test code.

They seemed content, but obviously a lot of resources went into tests.

2) Many late startups in SF spent a lot of time and effort on perfecting CI/CD software (multiple years), or struggling with k8s in the early days (1 year to finish one service.)

3) Often post-founder programmers these days have a lot of process to overcome before shipping. I know one startup that hired dozens of programmers, but the founder (alone) still writes most of the code.
I'm in the same boat. I can learn by reading faster than I can watching a video (I tended to skip lectures at university for this reason). Also, often I have partial understanding of the subject already and need clarification of certain points, and it's a lot easier to skim a text and find the information I need than trying to skip through a video to find what I need.

Technology isn't a complete panacea, but humans in general are highly adaptable. History seems to indicate that innovation is the most common outcome of Malthusian catastrophes, so it seems more than reasonable to me to ask that anyone arguing for a Malthusian catastrophe needs to also argue why innovation is not going to again be the outcome.

Thanks for the reply - I have been subscribed to the Cloudflare blog for years and really enjoy reading many of the in-depth technical articles that are provided by the team. I have shared many of them both internally in my workplace and on a few other channels.

I think I have interacted with authors on the blog a few times via comments - for me doing it "asynchronously" is probably going to be more applicable to me anyway.

I'll definitely check it out as time permits but just wanted to mention my preferences are definitely more on the written side :) Thanks for reading & again for your response.

The, rational, social darwinistic ideology has its grip firmly in the minds of Americans. I'm not even talking about the obvious culprits. I'm talking about us, we are obsessed with money and consumerism. We think optics is more than reality, We talk about political identity, where the obvious problem is class. We are shattered to tiny pieces fighting each other while a handful of people (not just white, mind you) keep their power.

You are making a lot of ageist remarks. There are plenty of Senior engineers making wrong decisions. For example the istio project moved from microservices to monolith - https://blog.christianposta.com/microservices/istio-as-an-ex... and none of those engineers are "junior engineers" by any means.
> Chicago PD is about 50% White, 25% Black, and 25% Latino. [1] Black and Latino police are overrepresented those forces. This is not uncommon.

Chicago is 32% non-Hispanic white, 32% black, and 28% hispanic. So, no, white cops outnumbering black cops 2:1 is not black cops being overrepresented. (This is as of the latest census.)

Do you mind if you can link me to your thesis? I am actually looking into tracing systems right now.
Another system that had similar goals and was developed quite a long time ago (between 1997 and 2000) was rubberhose[1] by Julian Assange, Suelette Dreyfus, and Ralf Weinmann. It had the additional goal of being designed so that if you were forced to decrypt the drive, it would be impossible for the attacker to know if there were more subvolumes to decrypt (a precursor to how VeraCrypt subvolumes work).

However you should be aware that this property is not widely considered a "good thing" because if you are in a situation where an attacker is willing to physically harm you, then they may not be convinced that you've given them all of the keys (even if you have). The same problem exists for cryptosystems that self-destruct -- how do you convince the attacker that you weren't the cause of the data being destroyed?

Deaths is a tricky metric because the first wave more heavily impacted people who were at-risk (think nursing home deaths).

The fact that this isn't abundantly clear is - in my opinion - good enough reason to ditch all "less lethal" weapons in favor of obviously lethal ones.

There should be no ambiguity in whether a lethal weapon should be used, including any "less lethal" one. The intention behind the very design of these weapons is to make the lethality of that weapon ambiguous, so that its use in inappropriate situations can be excused.

When officers use obviously lethal firearms, there is no question as to their intent. When they use "less lethal" ones, they are given the opportunity to misconstrue intent to kill as intent to maim or threaten.

A likely reason "less lethal" weapons have been promoted is that police officers often use inappropriate lethal force with little to no consequence. People hope that giving police "less lethal" weapons will at least lessen the likelihood of death from police abuse. This pipe dream is a very dangerous compromise.

There are a lot of changes that need to be made in law enforcement, and most of them end up being dependent on another. This entire situation really brings out the "hell" in dependency hell.

I have worked with MCST people (though at this point it's very long time ago). My view on Elbrus is that it's kept alive by politics, rather than technical merits.

The core challenge of the modern high-performance computing is the memory / cache latency - i.e. whichever architecture that can generate the most number of outstanding cache misses at all levels of cache hierarchy as quickly as possible will perform the best.

Between superscalar and SIMT (and lots of SIMD), VLIW has no design space left for high performance computing, as superscalar and SIMT are simply more flexible (superscalar is better for a single thread performance, and SIMT for highly parallel
streaming workload). SIMD also didn't help, since it's available for both SIMT and superscalar - negating parts of the VLIW advantage.

Case in point: GPU is one area where the workload is better suited for VLIW. Yet, AMD moved away from VLIW as their new architectures are not VLIW. nVidia has been SIMT for a long time.

The niche VLIW still has some values is in DSP, where the overhead of extra die space for superscalar becomes significant, and the workload is predictable.

I was aware, when posting my reply, that I was positing a fantasy world. So was the comment I was replying to. But you seem to have imputed a very specific (incorrect) assumed meaning to "apply critical thinking" and then carefully dissected the result.

When I said "apply critical thinking to all sources", that doesn't mean "re-derive everything from scratch and give zero weight to information obtained from others". "be prepared to question any belief" is closer to what I had in mind. Beyond that, there's little harm in trusting a single source for information you are not actually heavily relying on yourself, but that wasn't really the point of this thread. Are you really trying to argue that the world would fall apart if people generally speaking put a little more critical thought into verifying information they're exposed to from a single source before giving it undue weight?

That is the classic Conway's law that system design follows an organisation's communication structure.

But I agree there is a threshold below which it doesn't make much sense.
It can be pretty bad, yes. A primary issue seems to be that conda package authors don't always do their deps right.

Pip, on the other hand, often "wins" by not even bothering to notice the versions of low-level libraries, etc. If that doesn't work, you get to keep both pieces.

I think a surprising refined "meta" solution has come up in the last decade or so.

You can read an article, and figure out if it is crap for yourself.

But then you can check your work by reading the discussion around it (like HN comments). Look at the top (and bottom) comments. Match your thoughts against the opinions and comments of other critical thinkers.

A lot of critical thinking has already been done for you.

This doesn't always work, but a good comment/upvote/moderation system can be a surprising bullshit filter.

You really need a service manual from the engineering team who built the vehicle. Haynes and Chilton are remnants from an earlier time, before normal people could obtain real factory service manuals. You’re definitely better off with YouTube than an aftermarket manual, but that’s not a high bar.

To be fair, learning many mechanical tasks for the first time is really a combination of fundamentals and application specific details (this can apply to most fields outside your expertise). As you mentioned, you can repeat the same task again mostly from memory. You could then extrapolate that knowledge to a different vehicle by referencing the application specific details in a quality service manual.

Videos are helpful because you lack the fundamentals, and they can be great for that.

Respectfully, you're thinking too small. Of course CloudFlare can host your TV station. They carry a significant, double-digit percentage of total internet traffic.
