We used a constant throughout of 10,000 rps. The exact testing setup can be found under “how we tested”.

I think the example you gave for the lock used by Prometheus library is a great example why generation of traces/metrics is a great fit for offloading to different process (an agent).

Patchyderm looks very interesting however I am not sure how you can generate distributed traces based on metrics, how do you fill in the missing context propagation?

Our way to deal with eBPF root requirements is to be transparent as possible. This is why we donated the code to the CNCF and developing as part of the OpenTelemetry community. We hope that being open will make users trust us. You can see the relevant code here: https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-go-instrumen...
Seems like these numbers are very close to that of the Snapdragon[0] which of course makes sense, given technological progress.

I think the question here is 'does this constitute fair use?' In the same way that a scientist might learn the writing style of scientific papers by ingesting hundreds of papers, so to an AI learns to write by ingesting a bunch of text. In the former case, we do not require any scientist to then cite every paper they've ever read out of fear that they may have slightly adjusted their writing style to imitate the community's preferred one.

This is my take too. Ultimately the precise language used is immaterial. It is the intent behind it that matters. The precise language used may be indicative of intent, but that should be judged on a case-by-case basis rather than assuming "phrasing X good, phrasing Y bad", which will lead to both false positives and false negatives.
The Snapdragon X Elite CPU is closer to the M2 Pro / Max, while the GPU is closer to the regular M2. This makes comparisons a bit difficult without knowing price and resulting battery life.
My idea of a public intellectual is someone like Scott Alexander or maybe Eliezer Yudkowsky, but I suppose being on camera makes you more public than anything else.
IMO this also impacts "large" institutional investors such as pension funds. A lot of them are going to hold the bag.

Would be interesting to see a "price" for users actually being shown generic ads but with absolutely no profiling or other "personalized" experience.

I would never trust that entity anyway, even if they offered it, but curious what fraction of their haul is really the surveillance and behavioral profiling part as distinct from the placing-ads-on-a-surface part (which is how newspapers, TV and billboards operated forever).

The economics of ad-supported but non-tracking platforms is an important parameter as we contemplate what options do we have for less evil online platforms.
You can add it over USB (even with hub) for a few $$. Which is exactly how it's wired on the pi anyway until the 4.
That sounds like it was an interesting project! Jean-Baptiste Kempf also presented something at Demuxed last week using FEC and QUIC datagrams to get similarly low latency delivery over WebTransport into a browser. There's also a draft[1] for adding FEC to QUIC itself so it's quite possible Media over QUIC (MoQ) could benefit from this approach as well.

I'm not sure why you say "it is not." We have a working MoQ demo running already on https://quic.video that includes a Rust-based relay server and a TypeScript player. The BBB demo video is being ingested using a Rust-based CLI tool I wrote called moq-pub which takes fragmented MP4 input from ffmpeg and sends it to a MoQ relay.

You can also "go live" from your own browser if you'd like to test the latency and quality that way, too.

> technology enables more than ever anyone to build anything

This underestimates the difficulty of going against the grain of technology. Some things are easy to do with current tech, some are much harder. As it happens, the things that are easy are the things that align with the dominant paradigms of tech culture.

You mean it's not allowed _by_ UAW. It's allowed by law but the union refuses to put a provision allowing it into their "master contract" which is agreed to by the companies.

Pension plans hold equity and other assets from many companies. They are essentially like mutual funds with a defined annuity payout.

Defined benefit plans should never have died out, they should have been part of a total mix. There is no reason you can’t have pensions along side social security along side 401k/IRA plans. This gives retirees multiple avenues for payout each with their own risk profile. The 401k is a great idea as a retirement supplement for folks who are interested in saving more and managing investments. But many (most?) people are not sophisticated enough to (a) take advantage of tax deferred savings vs paying rent and buying food, (b) muck with investment options roll overs and all the like.

We are about to see a mass humanitarian catastrophe over the next 20 years as the 401k dependent generations retire, social security buckles, and we learn why pensions existed to begin with all over again.
I completely agree--many times, papers from the social sciences appear as exercises in "wringing signal from a sea of noise." They're not always successful or convincing! But often there is wide latitude because of the inherent noise...don't ask me why! I got out of economics for a reason!

Was this not true about computers when they were new? What would have happened if early on similar laws were passed restricting computers?
Why should they have to put in all the work to attempt (there is zero guarantee the union can be reformed and that trying to reform it will not result in retaliation) to make the union actually represent workers? Why is it their responsibility to fight both their employer and the union? Sure, it would be great if they could fix it, but there's no motivation to get so involved when you can sidestep the union like they mentioned and benefit more.

> Some unions in the U.S. have really degenerated after decades of hostility from employers and their political representatives in all branches of government (most notably, the judiciary and National Labor Relations Board).

Or things like a lot of peoples' only interaction with a union being "you can't do that yourself, pay our toll or else", "you can't get something you want, we're not working", or "we can't get rid of that bad employee" (not to mention public sector unions). To be fair, it's hard PR when "we got health insurance" doesn't matter to anyone outside the union, but a lot of unions have worked hard to have a poor public opinion. The big labor wins (we don't have to work in a coal mine 80 hours a week!) are taken for granted now.

Nothing you just said disputes any of what Peterson has said. The fact that you mention him being a "drug addict" (he was briefly addicted to anti-depressants after his wife got cancer) and then use words like "whining" to try to discredit him without actually addressing or disputing anything he's said shows you just have an axe to grind with no substance.
Wow, I'm surprised this took this long to come out! The raspicam/raspivid ecosystem is huge and without hardware h264 encoding it is absolutely dead in the water. This makes the rPi5 a neutered bit of hardware and the rPi4 (and even the rPi3) better options for quite a number of applications!
I know far too many people (albeit all younger than me) who readily admit to having zero savings--retirement or otherwise. These aren't destitute minimum wage workers. They're professionals with decent jobs, often whose employers have 401(k) programs. They just don't participate in them. They deliberately don't because they want to spend today and not lock up their money for an uncertain future. About half think they're going to die before retirement, and the other half have an overly rosy expectation of a future safety-net to help them. They are betting (unwisely IMO) that the USA will give in and not let an entire generation die on the street.
> When you use YouTube Premium, you are paying the creator for each view, and they still show you the ads, and you find it acceptable ?

Yes. Most (though not all) of the channels I watch don't have inline ads. For those that do, the YouTube client makes them easily skippable (tap your finger four times on the video to skip 30 seconds), but usually I just unsubscribe if they're egregious enough. I wouldn't watch LinusTechTips if he paid me :)

> Sounds like you agree to pay for Spotify Premium but still get interruptions in the music.

You seem not to understand that ads come from different sources and pay different people. Platform ads come from the platform and they pay money to the platform. Many platforms let you pay them to avoid these ads. This is what YouTube Premium is.

Separately, the content provider may also include ads in the content you are streaming on the platform. You can try to find a way to pay the content provider for an ad-less stream, but the system isn't as well set up for that situation, at least for video. Podcasts are pretty well set up for this model, and I do pay for many ad-less podcasts.
This is why the model is doomed. Even if they offer a subscription service, the platform is still built to serve ads, along with all of the user hostile behavior that made Facebook horrible.

Imagine how different things would look if Facebook adopted a subscription model early on before they became an ad-infested pile of garbage.
On the contrary, my Sandisk SSD I got around (roughly) 6 years ago is still happily working, despite being utilised for a lot of writing. It's gone through 3 house moves, and it's still going strong -- what a great purchase.

My 2 Crucial MX500 SSDs have been pretty solid too; nothing bad to report on them.

Re: your SSD, did you RMA it?
Normally you'd fire up a separate environment, mock the process and see if it produces the expected results. By the time you put 'test entries in a production bucket' there are so many lines crossed that it likely won't end well even if the tests do pass.

> Heck, most of that could even be automated if you wanted.

I've had the idea of building something like this. The concept being that you would select an article and a time interval, and be shown the "best/most stable" revision of the article within the given window. The tool could use any number of metrics for determining which revision is best, the most reasonable one I've managed to come up with is "highest number of views during a state where the article was not locked/available to edit".
I would say pre-c89 is a bigger difference.

Many thousands of these (perhaps 17k) were built in Dublin, Ireland from mid 1930s-40s. Poured/shuttered concrete and rebar, concrete floor at ground level, internal walls are block work.

I live in one -- recently had insulated externally (100mm EWI) which has drastically improved its thermal properties. About 50% of the floor area downstairs is the original bitumen sealed, uninsulated concrete. No ducts, you want extra wires or pipes you make a hole in 250mm concrete :D

As someone that is self taught and fairly good at Korean-- I agree. Using romanization of any kind is a nightmare in Korean. The only way to really grasp the language is to be able to read Hangul as soon as possible.

Using romanization is a lot worse than in a language like Japanese. In Japanese the romanization somewhat maps well to Japanese. In Korean, the various romanization methods are horrendous and don't come close to Korean at all.

Not only that-- many grammar forms require understanding the Hangul vowels to understand how to conjugate them. If you're using romanization they don't exist.

Even worse, Korean sound change rules make it hard to read Hangul without a lot of practice. If you're using romanization you're completely doomed.

I'm not sure how familiar you are with employment laws in Sweden, but you cannot just fire people willy-nilly, you need to have "Objective grounds for dismissal" in order to fire someone. For example, you are not allowed to fire someone because they're participating in a union, as a employer you'd be setting up yourself to get sued if you do this.

Question is, what "participating" actually refers to. One could make the case that striking is just a part of normal participation in the union, while one could also make the opposite case of course. In the end, seems it'd be up to the courts to decide.

> A union is effectively a monopoly on labor supply.

I can see how you could see it that way, but it’s actually the reverse. A union is actually a force capable of denying labor to an employer. Viewed in this way, there is nothing precluding another union to also withhold the same employees from working. Employees could, theoretically, be members of more than one union. Employers would then have to satisfy the requirements of all extant unions.

(I have no idea why this is being downvoted. I can only guess that people think I am implying something again.)
Pay frozen != no pay

Pay frozen == no pay raises
Just wondering, how many U.S. citizens have considered retiring in another country, possibly a developing country? I live in an Asian country where the living costs are significantly lower than that of U.S., so as long as the US dollar remains strong you can expect 2~3X more purchasing power for the same dollars. Countries like Malasyia have favorable policies for foreign retired workers, such as easy retirement visa, world-class medical care, etc. Could be an ideal place for retirement in case 401k was insufficient for retirement in US.

There absolutely are. "Shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves in three generations" is an old saying about how the kids ruin it.

We started with a microservices architecture in a greenfield project. In retrospect we really should have started with a monolith. Every 2-3 days we have to deal with breaking changes to API schemas. Since we’re still pre-production it doesn’t make sense to have a dozen major versions up side-by-side, so we’re just sucking up the pain for now. It’s definitely a headache though.

We also are running on AWS API Gateway + lambda so the availability and scalability are the same regardless of monolith or not…
I’m not clear how I wouldn’t get my prospects harmed.

More union -> less ease of hiring and negotiating for solo operators, less companies that will hire journeyman vs union shops.

That tyranny of job hopping is available to everyone. I’m not special (having spent every day with my engineering skills haha) I just beefed up on negotiating and risk tolerance.

Also I cant imagine how a startup scales if unions get involved.

Or I guess another way - I do not understand your conclusion that a hiring hall (what is this…?) helps me at all.

* Edit, clarifying: the crux I don’t understand from union tech people is it’s not like we’re miners, stuck in the same valley in WV by a variety of conditions, so might as all band together and fight Duke Energy. Or actors, tied to a few cities for their industry with a significant “on-prem” requirement. In tech, a new job and a better opportunity is a Signal/Slack DM or a LinkedIn search away. Close down one laptop and ship it back, open another shipped by an employer -> new future. IMO this is how it works going forward and only more so as fully digitized companies continue. I don’t see how a union helps here, and doesn’t add friction to me surviving in that medium. I feel that if I bought into the union perspective that the relationship with an employer is one worth shaping and locking in, it’s missing the point of a hyper-transactional, individualist economy that’s only getting more so. That to me is supporting an approach based on a faulty core premise, which seems very risky, excluding any benefits from the job hopping thing.
> An entire city can't be firebombed by a single plane

The Allies had more than one plane, so that's not a problem.

They used around 300 planes for the 1945-03-10 firebombing of Tokyo, for example. That one raid killed about 100 000 people, destroyed 267 000 buildings, and left over a million people homeless.

Facebook, Instagram and YouTube are the only major sites that are able to circumvent my adblocker. Between the three of them, YouTube provides an incredibly high value for the price they charge, while the other two are of limited benefit in comparison. Facebook has also declined greatly in the past couple of years, while YouTube has improved greatly.
Note that if it is true that Tesla has been threatening employees that might strike that that will have some pretty hefty consequences, the right to strike is quite well established and a fundamental right to the point that any sane employer would steer well away from violating that right.
