Ask HN: Resources on Live Streaming Technologies
I came across a job posting on Netflix where they were hiring a Live Streaming Engineer. It sparked my curiosity as a lot of the technologies mentioned such as transport protocols, MPEG video, audio/video codecs are foreign to me due to my heavy web dev background.

Outside of just googling these words, does anyone have recommendations on resources for learning technologies for live streaming and how they are glued together?
This is interesting but i think generating the next letter from the letters before may not be the best way to do it. As you mentioned they degrade with each letter.

Maybe creating one long image of a whole font would work better.

edit: in the above am misunderstanding what is happening here.

But i still think there must be another way to structure this so the attention mechanism doesn't have to work so hard.

Indeed. Although I don't know what precisions are required in crypto products, in traditional trading an 8 byte double is quite enough - the price submitted will have to be rounded to the instrument's precision anyway (e.g. most spot FX products are rounded to 5 decimal places).

With a caveat here, after a very quick look at the code: The price here is defined as long double, which can be different among platforms... My Mac/clang says that long double is still 8 bytes, Linux on that same arm64 machine says it's 16 bytes (and I'm not sure what that's mapped to these days - 80bit FPU instructions, or some Float128 representation)
Not OP, but the answer is "no".

That assumes you still have DRAM. Since this is faster and higher capacity than RAM, it’s potentially viable as a RAM replacement. In that case, you wouldn’t have anywhere to store the counters (but presumably in that case you wouldn’t need to either). I’m not sure you’d need to have a write counter when this replaced RAM though even if this didn’t have the same write endurance. For storage nodes, there’s no value in RAM outlasting storage. And this already has better write endurance than NAND. So on a storage node, you could easily imagine using this as RAM as the number of erases is going to be dominated by storage activity rather than ancillary memory writes managing the storage.
Not really, we'll do what we already do - leave them to die.

"But oHhHHh noOooOOo, that's sooo awful, cbozeman! We can't do that!"

Bullshit. We do it every single day. Every single day, someone, somewhere, starves to death because they have no marketable skills whatsoever, and because no one cares if they live or die. This is just going to accelerate the process. We'll either get Star Trek, or we'll get that Matt Damon movie.

> You really can't see the parallels? An aggressive, unilateral land invasion of an Eastern European country?

By this standard, there's a new Hitler every year. George W. Bush was Hitler for invading Iraq. Obama was Hitler for bombing Libya. Clinton was Hitler for illegally bombing Yugoslavia. Of course, this is a silly way of seeing the world, and it will lead you to completely incorrect conclusions. Hitler, driven by an insane racial ideology and backed by conservatives who saw him as a tool to eradicate socialism, set about on an unprecedented expansionist policy that aimed at subjugating all of Europe, while carrying out a brutal policy of genocide almost without parallel in history. No, not every country that invades another country is comparable to that. In this particular circumstance, Russia is not waging a genocidal war, is not driven by a crazy ideology of racial superiority, and has no designs on conquering Europe. Russia has much more limited aims. Russia's invasion of Ukraine is criminal, but that doesn't make Russia the equivalent of WWII Germany.

> it is better for more countries to be liberal democracies than for fewer to be, and if Russia's invasion of Ukraine succeeds, fewer will be

In terms of corruption and lack of democratic freedoms, Ukraine is not obviously better than Russia. One thing this war is definitely not about is democracy.
SEEKING WORK - Contract, Remote, based in NYC area, backend engineer

I am a backend expert, having built and maintained highly available systems for several companies over the last 9 years, in addition to over 20 total years of software development experience. I learn new things extremely quickly.

You will like working with me because I:

* hold your goals as my priorities
* communicate verbosely yet synthesize well
* my rates are reasonable in exchange for the value I deliver
* I guarantee I will get the job done

Concrete examples:

* built the streaming data architecture for realtime game player information and game stats for one of the top 3 US sports leagues (can’t name drop!) using Redpanda/Kafka on Azure+Terraform, and implemented its developer portal using Gravitee to provide first class streaming API support and monetization.

* Implemented a vector DB for one of the leading AI image hallucination platforms (millions of users) to provide an image similarity service.

* replatformed dozens of jobs to AWS Lambda for a startup hedge fund, vastly improving QoS and maintenance cost. Line 1 to platform-in-prod time 3 months.

* built a ~50 node, AWS, Dockerized, Terraform-deployed distributed system to provide realtime, transformed trade data from crypto exchanges to a Kafka pipeline and data lake (fodder for an analytics platform). Met 5000msec SLA across arbitrarily many exchanges and ticker symbols. Blue-green deployment for complete CICD safety. Cloudwatch metrics proved SLA was met and provided general system oversight.

* built a framework to collapse dozens of singleton ETL programs into one config-driven, simple C# application performing the same functionality at ~80% reduction in maintenance cost year over year.

Roger Ebert helped Orpah when she was young (about the same age, 32ish) just before she exploded in popularity. I can't imagine Oprah being offended in that situation or seeing it as being patronizing.
That would be pretty weird because basically everyone knows who Oprah is but nothing wrong other than that.

> What truly makes the Fairphone special is the fact that you can fully disassemble it yourself in a matter of minutes, using a standard screwdriver you likely have at home already

I disassembled my cheap Xiaomi Poco twice, replaced screen and broken camera. I had no issues with that. The phone itself was damn cheap, and good enough so I don't have to worry about breaking it, or thinking about it too much.

I wish Fairphone all the best, I am just wondering what the market is. Who is going to buy it for that heck of a price?
And if you read what I said, before your comment, you'll see its about this particular situation.
Yes, but I don't know if there are ready made ROMs for the 5 yet. I ran CalyxOS on my 4, and it officially supports running alternate OS:es.
Volatile requires it emit instructions that access the object. So if the object is in RAMA, it will emit memory access instructions. However, on modern CPUs, that will still hit the cache. You need to either map in the memory as uncached, or flush the caches to force a memory access

In theory this is why unanimous verdicts are required.

I was on a jury once for a murder case and we had the opposite problem. One juror kept repeatedly arguing that she thought the guy was guilty of one of the charges, but she couldn't explain why. Everyone else voted not guilty, because the evidence just wasn't there. We had to repeatedly explain to her that she was the textbook example of reasonable doubt. Eventually she decided to vote not guilty but it cost us several hours because it had to be unanimous in either direction.

On Google Cloud, the secret sauce seems to be:

- Google Firebase Hosting for your static front-ends
- Google Cloud Run Services for your APIs
- Google Cloud Run Jobs for long running compute (more than doubles your Cloud Run monthly free compute grant if you can move some compute workloads into a Job)
- Google Firestore for anything that doesn't benefit from being relational
- Supabase for anything that benefits from being relational and/or you need a vector DB.

You can get pretty far with this combo without paying more than a few cents a month and you don't compromise on scalability nor portability (excluding Firestore).

(I'd avoid Cloud Functions because the cold starts are abysmal and you'll end up paying a small fee for warm instances for anything that is latency sensitive; proper Cloud Run at least has a CPU boost option that seems to help).

> Most Stations in the US are owned by the large Oil Companies or other large corporations.

Quite often the oil company name is licensed and the gas station is independently owned. The gas station owner doesn't even need to buy gas exclusively from that company. I remember learning this when a BP gas station in Louisiana was having a tough time during the Deepwater Horizon leak. But I got curious as to how much is one way or the other

As of April 2023 there are 150,174 convenience stores in the USA, of which 118,678 stores (79%) sell fuel. Overall, convenience stores sell approximately 80% of the motor fuels purchased in the United States. 54.6% of convenience stores are owned by a single store operator (so a single owner or family that owns just that one store).

The top oil companies together own 15,400 gas stations as franchises:

> Major oil companies have begun to reemerge on the retail landscape, reversing a decade-plus trend that reduced their share of the market to less than 0.5% by 2017.
Shell Oil Co./Motiva Enterprises LLC, Chevron Corp., Exxon Mobil Corp., BP North America and ConocoPhillips/Phillips 66 collectively have approximately 15,400 stores that all are franchise operations.

> I support taxing the wealthy, we only make $250k annually

That's the 4th %-ile not 30th %-ile; the 30th %-ile is 75k [1]. I'm not sure people making 75k are that enthusiastic about the past few years given that they're now paying 1/3 of their pre-tax income to rent [2] (previously 1/4). But yeah people in the 4th %-ile are going to be pretty happy with their rent control err 2% mortgage.

> Property theft seems like the most-ignored type of crime these days. Police often do little more than fill out a report unless the thief is still there and stole a huge dollar amount. They obviously prioritize violent crime much higher than vandalism.

I'm not talking about what they prioritize, I'm talking about what actually gets solved. How many times have we seen someone chased down and shots fired at them for stealing a couple sodas or something?

Meanwhile, murders, sexual assaults, nothing. Nada. And that's assuming that the perpetrator wasn't themselves a police officer.

> This is a myth. Retail theft is much higher than wage theft.

Copyright around fonts may not support such a suit in the same as way as works of art.

Wikipedia says: "In the United States, the shapes of typefaces are not eligible for copyright but may be protected by design patent (although it is rarely applied for, the first US design patent that was ever awarded was for a typeface).[1]"

So just scanning the rendered font (as opposed to the code that generates it), may be harder to stop than scanning of artwork.

I suppose, in the same way that picking a random citizen to create every new law would be democratic, but what does democracy have to do with the value of innocence, as you initially argued? In a jury it's the non-guilty voting minority that rules, and I'm fairly certain that the tyranny of the minority is largely considered undemocratic.

That price is a bit much. The Asus G14, with a 7940HS and a RTX 4060, is $1400. Its not modular (which is a huge con) and a tiny bit heavier/bigger, but otherwise kinda blows the Framework away.
> It's disgusting how you try to play that card while having none of the life experiences.

sigh

I have 18 aunts and uncles, all but 1 of them was beaten and raped in a boarding school growing up. My mother was sent to that school at the age of 5, she married at 16 because it was the only way to get out of that school legally. If they were caught speaking anything but English they would be locked out of the dorms during the night, especially if it was winter. They used to force everyone into the shower and make them soap up to be as white as possible. They would be inspected and if they weren't white enough they would get beaten with a strap while in the shower.

I grew up hearing these stories.

Then one day in 9th grade I came home from school to my mother crying and she started talking about things that happened to her at that school. Things we _didn't_ grow up hearing. I won't repeat them here. I started crying because even at that age I had the wisdom to understand she was hurting and I couldn't help her.

The boarding school where my mother went doesn't exist anymore. The school shut down, the buildings were pulled down, and speaking with people who have attempted to document what happened there, it's apparently _extremely_ hard to find any records of it outside of the people who went to school there.

Do you know several of the people who ran that school later got a humanitarian award? I remember it like it was yesterday, it was announced a few days before our family reunion. The anger was _palpable_ across the entire family.

I've seen interviews with others who have gone to these boarding schools so I've seen and heard even more stories. One of a student who was accidentally beaten to death and just disappeared but everyone knew what had happened. A girl who would be pulled out of the lunch line and taken into a room with a priest who would make her pleasure him (girl, not young adult) and give her a penny afterward. She apparently became a prostitute.

Did you know _many_ of my race have black ancestry mixed in? Do you know why? Partially because _they were enslaved together_. Did you know blacks and women both technically got the right to vote before my race did because they got citizenship before my race did?

That's not even going into my own personal experiences, but FYI, I've been called the N-word before.

----

Now for the real question.

Are you a terrible human being for making me relive my own life experiences because you denied them, or are you an amazing human being for not believing a minority could ever possibly think renaming master to main was pointless.

Or maybe you can go to sleep tonight confident in two truths.

1. If you don't announce you're black immediately then you aint black, and

2. If you don't vote for Donald Trump, you aint black.

Or who knows, maybe I just made it all up.

and let me end with another CS Lewis quote.

> Mankind is so fallen that no man can be trusted with unchecked power over his fellows. Aristotle said that some people were only fit to be slaves. I do not contradict him. _But I reject slavery_ because I see no men fit to be masters
