Nope, we provide the same durability and ordering messages as Kafka, albeit with higher latency. We never acknowledge produce requests until they've been durably persisted in object storage (P99 ~400ms), so its the same guarantee as running a 3AZ Kafka cluster with fsync enabled.

Integration of a new decoder is not all that complicated code wise. What is complicated is the effects of the change and ongoing support.

1. Binary size cost, in my experience working on Firefox this is in the 100s of KiB range when adding a new decoder.

2. Ongoing costs increased compile times, new integration tests, functional tests and so forth. Keeping those tests passing and non-flaky.

3. Once something is accepted into the web ecosystem the intention is to support it for 10s of years if not forever. Web feature deprecation is quite slow, ex <keygen> & <blink>. The web has not deprecated a primary image format.

4. Security, a 'new' binary format is a place for security vulnerabilities, crashes and hangs. The web is actively hostile place for web browsers.

Medical intervention.

You cannot expect the severely mentally ill to "voluntarily" seek medical help - this is the current prerequisite for medical intervention in SF. If a child runs into the street, you don't ask for consent before moving them out of the way of oncoming traffic. The severely ill in this city have less mental capacity than a child and yet we expect them to consent like any other adult. If you truly understand these illnesses you will recognize the futility of throwing money, housing, etc. at this problem.

How much faster?

I have to ask because people frequently make claims about perform based upon unmeasured assumptions that are wrong more often than not. Worse than that, many of these imagined claims about performance tend to be off by one or more orders of magnitude.
WebP was the classic Google “ship the prototype” move - they were hoping Chrome could muscle it through but it delivered only modest compression improvements (10-15% real world - the marketing papers promised 30% based on comparisons to unoptimized JPEGs) but it was missing features and had very primitive software support, making it harder to produce, deliver, or share (when Facebook switched, a common complaint was someone downloading a picture and finding it didn’t work in another app or when they sent it to a friend).

Very few sites pay for so much outgoing image bandwidth to make that compatibility cost lower than a 15% savings.

This is a really good idea. I'd emphasize combinatorics and probability because these are actually the most useful.

But I would add group theory too! For me this was the first time I realized that mathematics doesn't have to be all about numbers or geometry. Although, come to think of it, add geometry to the list too.
I'm probably the wrong person to ask, sorry! My interest is purely academic, both for data governance and technical reasons I'll probably never be able to use this. I also don't mean to imply they're unfair, free is free - just that it explains why things which are pretty cheap in Kafka proper trigger billing (vs. of course things that are expensive in Kafka now being really cheap).

I do think a lot of people using Kafka compaction topics as their source-of-truth are defaulting to 256-~1000 partitions, if you want to entice them I'd probably offer at least 1024. (But I suspect your target market is not using these - rather they're salivating over the possibility of the automatic format transcoding you mentioned in another comment...)

When you're paying for RHEL you're not paying for the software that you are installing. All of that can be downloaded.

You are paying for:

- A reproducible target. You know EXACTLY what code you are running. If you manage more than three installations this is the only way you can diagnose and fix whatever issues your installation has.

- Support. The very few times I used RHEL support I always got timely and thorough assistance. Even when chasing a hardware bug or issues with third party device drivers.

- Backwards and FORWARDS compatibility. Red Hat systematically backports kernel bug fixes and support for new hardware to old kernels. We ran 2.6 kernels on Intel hardware released long after the 2.6 series were EOL.

- Device drivers. No, not for your five dollar mouse, but for hardware that costs the same as a small SUV.

If you're avoiding RHEL due to cost, have a look at their SKU list and talk to your local sales org, they have a wide range of options.

For a browser, it means permanent, forever, support for the format and continued maintenance and security patching for the library. Any CVE, any issue that might cause the browser to be insecure will be blamed on the browser and the developers will have to make sure any codec they use is safe forever.

That's the cost for the maintainers. Codecs are historically one of the most problematic sources of security issues (they're complex code that handles malicious downloaded files) and supporting a new one is a rather big maintenance burden for everyone involved.

And if Chrome gets backdoored by a JXL library security hole, everyone will blame Google for it.

If, by any chance, supporting JXL becomes too much of a burden, everyone will again blame Google for being evil if they ever remove it from Chrome.

That exists for man pages. There are programs that will parse them into html (e.g. man2html) so you can locally browse them. There are GUI programs (e.g. seeman) that allow you to view them in a way very similar to man pages.

See https://man.archlinux.org/ for how you can make man-pages look real nice when converted to html.

I like that the man system is frontend agnostic tho - I don't want to deal with remote desktop when sshed into a server.

You're asking for a course in computer architecture. Buy a textbook. I recommend "Computer Systems" by J. Stanley Warford. We used the fourth edition in our class and I found it very enjoyable.

I've come to the conclusion that anything that "abstracts" the openai complete/chat complete API call is just bad practice and to stay away from the entire framework, with the exception of microsoft guidance. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. And if you do abstract the completion API, then it must either reduce friction or increase capabilities over just calling openai with http fetch/axios. Which microsoft guidance does this.
I like building bikes. I have four now that are all frame up builds, and I've used it to get pretty good at fixing and diagnosing issues too the point friends come to me. I've also learned to build wheels though that's very much a work in progress.

I also roast coffee. I exclusively buy green to roast for myself and friends and haven't bought roasted coffee in over a year!

I learned to sew and made a frame bag or two for my bike, and have made some shorts, pants, working on some skirts.

I keep fresh water planted aquariums and have learned to set those up. they are fun and very pretty.

I struggle with creative projects, so these types of things above - skilled, short projects, I guess - are my bread and butter. I'm learning guitar again but I'm not very musically creative either so we'll see how it goes this time.

It's an interesting dilemma; while maximizing user engagement has its place, focusing on solving pressing societal challenges is equally crucial. Issues like climate change, healthcare accessibility, and social inequality are significant problems that require innovative solutions.

> And it's important that we reject this definition because it distorts the reality of the situation.

Depends who's reality. A content creator's reality is that their content is indeed stolen and monetised by someone without permission.

"Advocates of expanded IP law" do appear to be in the right, at least by law. Copying and distributing digital products is treated more or less as theft, particularly when done at scale.

AI and current training practices are even worse than stealing someone's work. It steals someone's identity. AI can copy unique characteristics, not just individual content to reproduce identical content. It can replicate a person's unique style without consent, and that's uniquely dangerous.

If "social" media wasn't factually asocial by allowing anonymity, sockpuppet farms at least would have to usurp some real body's identity.

The structure of human society being hierarchical in nature (the 90-9-1 rule mentioned in the article) is a given. Lamenting it, implicitly or explicitly, is nonsensical. Society enacts a marketplace of ideas. Attaching those to persons is sort of a fallacy. Maybe due to the assumption, those with one good idea might have another one. Sometimes that's true though.

So, if some thinktank or company comes up with a good idea, or "hermenutical attractor" in your parlance, that's just fine? So long as nobody has an actually better idea, what's the problem?

The real problem is the lack of discussion space where ideas can be thoroughly compared.

Yes, it's built from a kit (mostly sheet aluminum and rivets, some fiberglass) but I'm OK with calling it cool.

On the contrary, the webp push didn't really hurt anything... there were (IIRC) no major exploits related to it, and it sees some use. I wouldn't say it was a mistake.

If someone says "I don't have 6 months to learn this" or "I couldn't learn this even with 6 months to do so" and your goal is mass adoption, your action should be resolving whatever the roadblock is, not blaming the individual with the issue.
