I've known this since I was a teen in Croatia as well, two decades ago. Doesn't mean I was planning for retirement or depressed by it. There's a huge leap between knowing generational national pension systems are bust and being depressed about retirement as a teenager.

Teen years are about forming a self image - social media fucks that up in so many ways - it's really next level compared to what my generation had growing up. Glad it was just starting when I was a teenager.
Hmm, pocketbook seems the way to go, thanks.

The idea of setting up my own cluster seems really cool, but it always seems that I'm paying more money for less compute vs. just buying a single more powerful computer. I suppose this is worth it for people who'd like to physically own a cluster where they can test their cluster code with a real network layer before deploying that code to a data center?

The MSRP for Nvidia's Jetson Xavier NX 16GB module is USD500. So 4 Xaviers + board is USD2200 for a combined 64GB of LPDDR4 memory and 84TOPs of Compute.

On the other hand, I can buy an Nvidia RTX3080 with 10GB of memory on the card and 238 INT8 TOPS for ~USD1000, 64GB of DDR4 for USD250 and the last USD1000 on whatever other parts I need to get something working.

The only counterexample I can think of is that the cluster could potentially be easier to upgrade/purchase in pieces, which would be more ideal if you're broke and would like to get started on a budget. And of course, there are probably some use cases where the topology of the Jetson Cluster leverages its hardware more effectively than the single GPU.

Can someone help this make sense for me?
Netflix created the bad but successful template that the other streaming services followed: own the streaming platform and the content -- and now they're suffering for it, and so are consumers.

As a consumer, I don't want to have 5 different streaming services with subs coming and going depending on what shows happen to be in season. I'd rather choose to subscribe to one of various streaming services that in turn let me source content from many providers and just let me pay per show or whatever (maybe after a free first episode or something, I dunno).

In a way I kind of feel bad for Netflix, because they were there "first" and for a long time had maybe one of the more "open" (in terms of content) services. Now the studios are in control again. It's not good for the consumer.
Agreed, it does look very similar to what we're building at https://www.airplane.dev/

However I've come across a few other similar products as well over the past year we've been building Airplane, and frequently things appear superficially similar but there's a difference in focus/use case/target customer/etc. For example, Airplane is focused on support, customer success or ops use cases (e.g. "I wrote a script to delete a user record / reset a 2fa token / etc, I can use Airplane to let the customer support team have access in a safe way"). Whereas I've seen other tools in this space target more of a "programmable Zapier" type use case (e.g. "For every new customer, I want to use a Python script to hit the Slack API and generate a custom notification.")

It'll be interesting to see how Windmill evolves over time.
I'm a Hardware Engineer who's lived through a few of these cycles now.

I personally wouldn't give the CCP that much credit, at all.

In my experience, the signs for this crunch in supply were there. The unusual part is maybe the speed at which it took hold and now the amount of time the shortages are lasting.

I was arguing for building inventory when the situation was (in my eyes) clearly getting bad, the business chose not to. Now its much much worse. A 5-10USD lithium charge controller goes for about 100USD (one seller had it for 500USD).

At least this way, the smaller businesses that get ignored by the big suppliers in times like these, can get supply if they can pay.

It's also not all just brokers. The outfit we use in China for PCB fabrication and population saw the signs and stocked up on inventory on their one initiative. They are the only reason we can make anything at all.

Fundamentally ICs are NOT a Just-in-time-able part. And if people actually read the book on JiT they'd understand that fact, and they would keep inventory.

When you see this time and again like me, it's hard to have sympathy for businesses that get caught out. (I do have sympathy for those that came prepared and are now stuck though).

Next crunch time (and there always is a next time in this business), I seriously think I'll just invest in IC inventory. Because honestly if I did this time, I probably could have retired early.

You're talking past chrisseaton's point here. If you want two C extensions to interoperate with bare-metal performance, you can't just do

from lib1 import makedata
from lib2 import processdata

data = makedata()
print(processdata(data))

Because makedata needs to provide a c->py bridge and processdata needs a py->c bridge, so your process inherently has python in the middle unless lib2 has intimate knowledge of lib1. It can absolutely be done (I've written plenty of c extensions that handle numpy arrays, for example) but if somebody hasn't done the work, you don't get it for free. If your c extension expects a list of lists of floats, the numpy array totally supports that interface... but (last I checked) the overhead there is way slower than calling list(map(list, data)) and throwing that into your numpy-naive c extension.
Eyeballing the chart it looks like the percentages for each section are roughly the same for each service, Netflix just has a lot more shows so they fill in the "just average" box more than the other services.
MacOS is full of these UI "tricks" that remain undiscovered by 99% of users because they are:

- not obvious

- not discoverable

For example: if you hold option when you click the Wifi button, you actually can view a lot of information about the Wifi networks you are connecting to. This is invaluable when you're dealing with a Wifi issue, and completely undiscoverable!

I think MacOS is a perfectly usable operating system... If you're god and can somehow "just know" all of these hidden secrets.
Beginners need some (although leaky) abstractions to start from, otherwise they will be unable to make decisions at all. This is why asking questions as a beginner is really important.

Trying to think of knowledge as house of cards is stupid because it somehow implies that knowledge is inherently unstable, which is not true.
It’s good to protect against DNS rebinding, and the host header or TLS will protect against this, but rebinding isn’t the main source of CSRF issues. You can still blindly perform CSRF attacks via XHR or <form>.

The disadvantage to Tailscale’s implicit authentication is that it can’t take advantage of modern features like SameSite cookies, which can be a strong defense against CSRF. You would need to implement CSRF tokens everywhere, or try to rely on Origin/Referer (which is sketchy).

> Are there any FIDO security keys that explicitly support backing up and restoring their master secrets?

Yup there are for sure, for I tried it and it works. Now: I tried it out of curiosity and I'm not actually using it atm, so I don't where it's at but...

I tried on Ledger hardware wallets (stuff meant for cryptocurrencies, but I tried them precisely for the U2F app): initialize the device with a seed of my own and then register to FIDO2/U2F/webauthn sites. Worked fine.

Took a second hardware wallet, initialized it with the exact same seed: boom, it's working fine and I could login using that 2nd HSM device as the 2FA.

Note that as soon as I used the 2nd device, the first one wasn't working anymore: if I wanted it to work again, I'd need to reinstall the U2F app on the HSM device (the way the device work is it only accepts apps that are signed, and that is enforced by the HSM itself: the HSM has the public key of the Ledger company so it can only install "apps", like the U2F app, that is actually signed by Ledger... I'm not saying that's 100% foolproof, but it's not exactly the most hackable thing on earth either).

The reason you cannot use both devices at once is because of how an increment number is used: it has to be monotonicaly increasing and when the app is installed on the HSM, it uses the current time to initialize its counter.

I haven't checked these lately: I know the specs evolved and I know Ledger said they were coming with a new U2F app but I didn't follow the latest developments.

Still: I 100% confirm you that it's not only doable but it's actually been done.

> ... Then have multiple people inspect the logs. Once ok'd, run again, with manual prompts after each log item asking to continue...

This sort-of reminds me of some "critical" work I had to do a couple of decades ago. I was in a shop that used this horrifically tedious tool for designing masks for special kinds of photonic devices-- basically it was tracing out optical waveguides that would be placed on a crystal that was processed much like a silicon IC.

The process was for TWO of us to sit in front of computer and review the curves in this crazy old EDA layout tool called "L-edit" before it got sent to have the actual masks made (which were very expensive). It took HOURS to check everything.

The first hour was tolerable but then boredom started to creep in and we got sloppy. The whole reason TWO people got tasked with this was because it was thought that we would keep each other focused-- 2 pairs of eyes are better than one, right?. Instead, it just underscored the tedium of it all. One day someone walked in and found us BOTH in DEEP SLEEP in front of the monitor. Having two people didn't decrease the waste caused by mistakes, it just bored the hell out of more people.
Oh, there are a half dozen different tools that solve python package management. Unfortunately, they are mutually incompatible and none solve it for all use cases.

Author here. Two comments:

1/ As you mentioned, this is not a good approach for start-ups. The single-threaded model keeps teams autonomous and focused by eliminating alignment in big companies. It tries to replicate the nimbleness of start-ups within business units and teams. A startup should already be focused on finding a market fit as fast as possible.

2/ Not everything should be run as single-threaded. For example, AWS sales and support teams run as functional teams because otherwise, it will impact the customer's experience.

A better approach for start-ups and small businesses is using something similar to the Directly Responsible Individuals approach. Its focus is on decision-making ownership and speed. [1]

Thanks for the feedback. I will try to incorporate it into the post.

What's an example of a bad SPA that gets people up in arms?

There's been a lot of ink spilled on the topic, but in my experience, most SPAs I run into (ecommerce stores mostly) are....fine?

Sure there's a "Loading..." content skeleton animation sometimes as the content populates, but otherwise it's perfectly usable by end users.
+1 I also pretty strongly dislike that they've been defaulted on. They seem wasteful and the user experience is hectic.

> requires that I am able to regain access to my digital accounts using nothing but a few page paper backup including core service passwords & exported TOTP secrets.

EDIT: you basically save a 256 master seed as a list of 24 words (out of a fixed dictionary of precisely 2048 words, so 11 bits of entropy per number). 264 bits altogether: last word contains 3 bits par of the seed and 8 bits of checksum.

Trivial to write down. Very little chance of miswriting it for: a) you must prove to the HSM you wrote your seed down correctly and b) the dictionary is known and hardly any word can be mistaken for another.

“The cleric’s fiery sermons had helped inspire a dozen plots, including the shootings at Fort Hood. Then he had gone “operational,” plotting with Mr. Abdulmutallab and coaching him to ignite his explosives only after the airliner was over the United States.

That record, and Mr. Awlaki’s calls for more attacks, presented Mr. Obama with an urgent question: Could he order the targeted killing of an American citizen, in a country with which the United States was not at war, in secret and without the benefit of a trial?

The legal analysis, in essence, concluded that Mr. Awlaki could be legally killed, if it was not feasible to capture him, because intelligence agencies said he was taking part in the war between the United States and Al Qaeda and posed a significant threat to Americans, as well as because Yemeni authorities were unable or unwilling to stop him.

Mr. Awlaki, who was born in New Mexico, was also accused of playing a role in a failed plot to bomb two cargo planes last year, part of a pattern of activities that counterterrorism officials have said showed that he had evolved from merely being a propagandist — in sermons justifying violence by Muslims against the United States — to playing an operational role in Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula’s continuing efforts to carry out terrorist attacks.

Other assertions about Mr. Awlaki included that he was a leader of the group, which had become a “cobelligerent” with Al Qaeda, and he was pushing it to focus on trying to attack the United States again. The lawyers were also told that capturing him alive among hostile armed allies might not be feasible if and when he were located.

Based on those premises, the Justice Department concluded that Mr. Awlaki was covered by the authorization to use military force against Al Qaeda that Congress enacted shortly after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 — meaning that he was a lawful target in the armed conflict unless some other legal prohibition trumped that authority.”

I think the point that needs to be asked is, at one point does a fellow American become justified as an enemy combatant?
This does not solve the backup issue. It's effectively using the phone or computer as a whole as a hardware key, which introduces multiple failure modes compared to external hardware keys while also adding to privacy concerns. It might have some extremely niche use for some use of on-prem devices in enterprise settings where the inability to sever the authentication element from the actual hardware might be convenient; other than that, TPMs are essentially a misfeature given the existence of smartcards and hardware keys.

Although most of those Netflix shows are on the far left of that category.

There are a lot of ways you can interpret the info and a lot of good questions that it doesn't really answer. But it is interesting that Netflix clearly looks different from others.
I dunno, I would say on my whole in my 10 years at Google I really did meet some of the most talented (in terms of raw knowledge or focus or some other skill) people ever in my career.

But they were mostly being paid handsomely to apply those amazing skills to really humdrum tasks -- but painting them up to be really profound -- and that's the saddest thing.

Is CLOS doing less than Python?

I'm thinking CLOS has more dynamism than Python - they're both dynamically typed, they're both doing a lookup then dispatch, but then CLOS adds dynamism on top of that, it's also looking in the metadata thingy (i'm not a lisp developer, do they call it the hash? I'm meaning the key value store on every "atom" - i'm so out of my depth here, is atom the right word?) plus if i remember right the way CLOS works you use multiple dispatch not just single dispatch like python.
It's an adapter application for ActivityPub, the standard that backs the "fediverse" and apps like Mastodon, PeerTube, etc, to email. ActivityPub/the fediverse is already designed very similar to how email works so a lot of the terminology intentionally overlaps: ActivityPub at the raw level has a concept of an inbox and an outbox on the server.

Most clients to ActivityPub do a lot of stuff "in the middle", taking data from the Inbox and feeding it into complex (usually Postgres) databases and then present it all with mostly bespoke patterns: as Twitter-like feed (in Mastodon's case) or a YouTube-like site (in PeerTube's case).

This client intentionally sticks to the raw "email-like" flow and applies it directly to "ancient" email technologies: using SMTP to send outgoing messages to the ActityPub servers in the "fediverse" and dumping things from incoming messages into a classic style Maildir email directory rather than a database of any other sort (so you can read the "fediverse" in just about any traditional email client as if it was email).

You're talking about processed color frames. The GP was suggesting that the camera stream the raw sensor data, which doesn't have individual color channels, just a monochrome grid with 10 or 12 bits of usable data per pixel. A bayer filter[0] is placed in front of the sensor so that a given color of light falls on each cell. The USB host would be responsible for applying a demosaicing[0] algorithm to create the color channels from the raw sensor data.

If we take the AR0330 sensor used in the USB Camera C1[2] as an example, it has a native resolution of 2304H x 1296V and outputs 10 bits per native pixel after internal A-Law compression[3] for a total raw frame size of 3.56 MiB, assuming optimal packing. The corresponding image, demosaiced and downscaled to Full HD (1920x1080), in RGB with eight bits per channel would be 5.93 MiB.

Too much drug use. He is an addict.
I agree, netflix might be too embarrassed by their catalogue to show people a simple A-Z listing of everything they have, but I'd absolutely watch netflix more often if they did. Scrolling through the same shows I'm not interested in over and over across their multiple random/useless categories takes up way too much time.

Every so often I'll go to search and enter random 2-3 letter combinations because I usually find a bunch of stuff I'd like to see but Netflix has been hiding from me.
This isn't "insider reporting". If you don't how the media works, when the article says "Sources close to Holland" or a "Holland loyalist"...it is Holland (usually journalists will make an effort to disguise that, but the precise events being "quoted anonymously" here make obvious that the main source for the story was one person i.e. when the "anonymous" source quotes a conversation that occurred with two people in the room...it is obvious). There is no real analysis, it is just execs sniping at each other and trying to make sure future employers think it was someone else's fault.

On the subject, the problem with Netflix was that they tried to have it both ways. They seemed to think they could significantly increase output without decreasing quality. So saying that the failure of the new strategy is prudence ignores the fact that reckless spending got them into this position...bankruptcy tends to force prudence, but that is ex-post...prudence is not the cause of bankruptcy.

I think this should indicate that problems with NFLX are slightly more fundamental. I am sure they have the capacity to produce great shows. Look at their debt, look at how much capital they have committed to production...you can produce multiple "best ever" shows, and it won't get you out that hole.
This number looks a lot scarier than it is. Food "insecurity" is an arbitrary threshold based largely on how people feel. Based on the same data, children very rarely go hungry in America.

0.6% of children skipped a single meal in a 12 month period.
0.9% of children got hungry at least once in a 12 month period.

alternatively, you and your children are considered insecure if in a 12 month period they answer yes to the following:

A parent lost weight

Adult(s) cut size or skipped meals in 3 or more months

Relied on few kinds of low-cost food to feed child(ren)

Here is the actual USDA survey data that supports that fact:

> If a device provides this feature and it does not contain any other secret information introduced in it by the manufacturer, then it allows the owner to have any kind of backup that is desired.

Precisely. The Ledger Nano S (and probably the Nano X too) allows to do exactly what you describe, the very way you describe it (three wrong PINs, on purpose or not, and the device resets itself to factory default and, as you wrote, at that point it's unusable until you enter again a master secret (either your old one or a new one: the device has no way to know and doesn't care).
I agree with you - and I've noticed this trend with my teenage brother as well - it seems like prepping for career since kindergarten really peaked - but I wouldn't say this has much to do with retirement planning. I do think kids these days have a lot of pressure from early on to perform, at least from what I see anecdotally.

Being expected to go to a good college, and that being seen as a gateway to decent standard of living is having an effect on kids for sure.
