what if, if one service doesnt respond at all or responds with something that doesnt fit an expected format that it would if working correctly, the whole thing just says "sorry, we had an error, try again later"? if it has to check both at the same time, and cant check them independently, wouldn't that solve the vulnerability? or am i missing something? totally understandable if i am, i just want to learn /gen
VP9 has been available, at least in HLS streams, since iOS 14. If there is anything new here it is support for a new container format

I’m always surprised VP9 isn’t more widely used and that people seem to want to jump straight to AV1. For any video for web delivery where I control the codec end to end I always choose VP9

I did exactly that with a VBA macro, that indicated whether something was a formula, a constant, or empty. I would just put it next to my column of calculations. It was not what I would call "clean code" but sure made it easier to follow my thought process and find bugs.

The macro was the first thing that came to mind. Your formula is cleaner.

Ok, let's say the GPU is hella expensive. Is that a reason not to put a $0.50 connector on this system? Is a lack of expandability better? I think that's a farcical idea. It makes all the sense in the world to include Oculink!

As for the price of using Oculink? Here's a riser board and frame for $40. There are even cheaper options about that folks report as working just fine! https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806254754959.html

Having PCIe ports is good for more than GPUs too. There's Oculink to nvme adapters aplenty: go right ahead and plug in 2 (or 4 at reduced link width) ssds! Plug in a 25Gbit network card! Ideally some day PCIe switches make a comeback at non-exorbinant prices & we can have whole socks of this stuff; the inherent complexity is lower than pcie-transporting USB4 but we just don't have ecosystem options alas.

Sure, for most users where they want one peripheral all the time getting a much bigger mini-itx system makes a lot of sense. But it keeps seeming to me like this is a near zero cost way to create a small computer that still has really good options, that can adapt incredibly well. If you have a portable powerful compact computer, that you take with you, ideally you can just plug it in to the GPUs, network cards, storage, or other peripherals in the world around you; we're not there in most cases but I cannot emphasize enough that it costs so little to add the flexibility/option.

I have to say that I was a little disappointed by this article. It doesn’t really demonstrate Kap as solving any of the issues that spreadsheets have, and it doesn’t really address many of the reasons people like spreadsheets.

Spreadsheets are reactive and stateless and allow you to move seamlessly from data storage to computation on that data. This is really just a calculator REPL that can ingest tabular data easily. I’d be more interested if they’d innovated more with the interface — maybe something node-based?

I haven’t read much about Inuit warfare, but there was nothing stopping them from using their dogs, bred for hauling heavy loads over vast distances, for carry soldiers. Same with the llamas. No doubt the Inkas used llamas for warfare, and if they wanted to, they probably could have bred them to carry soldiers, just like how camels and dromedaries were.

Also, North America had buffalo. I fail to see anything inherent in the North American buffalo which would prevent it from being bred to plow a field the same way that the Water Buffalo in Asia was bred.

Most likely the agricultural practices and warfare was different in the Americas which never drove the people living there to breed their animals for the same trades as in Europe and Asia.
The important distinction is between on-silicon interconnects and off-silicon. On silicon, the interconnect density is much higher so it's feasible to get high bandwidth by having lots of "channels" (wide busses). This becomes less desirable off chip (on the PCB) for many reasons. Some of them are:
1) The interconnect density is much lower, and having such a large bus becomes physically large
2) The bus is larger and less precise, which makes maintaining skew between channels more and more challenging
3) The parasitic capacitance/inductance (i.e. energy storage) of the bus becomes larger as it gets physically larger, meaning each channel needs a relatively large driver circuit (which costs expensive silicon area) and dissipates more power to drive correctly, and even more power if the speed is increased.

Increasing the symbol complexity of each channel does more than just move the bottleneck around, because it allows fewer chip to chip interconnects to carry more data.

I don't work in this regime, but as a layman I'm not convinced using full QAM for on-board chip to chip interconnects makes sense. One major advantage you natively have over the RF case is you can be easily coherent (shared clock). Throwing this away to do carrier recovery introduces a lot of complexity and potentially reduces the available bandwidth. Assuming you transmit without a carrier, can you have "baseband" QAM without a separate I and a Q signal? If you transmit an I and Q signal separately, does that not just become the same thing as two PAM-32 signals?

Im not a backend guy. I assure you that I’m not a magician. As I never had the fortune of being blessed with the knowledge of modern backend stacks like k8s. All I know is at a surface level. This probably makes me naive. At the same time, I see these problems people deal with and wonder why make it so difficult.

Nats is a at its core a pub-sub system. Everyone (clients and services) connect to the Nats server (or cluster but same principle). Then you can either publish or subscribe to messages, whose payload is typically simple json.

Anyway, the point here is that with such a setup, you don't need to worry about networking between services. How do I stand up new service, let’s call it Galactus? You connect to the nats server, then you listen for messages on a subject space like “galactus.*”. Now anyone else can talk to Galactus, without proxies, api gateways - Galactus doesn’t even need a URL, only a subject (this is what subject based addressing means). As a result, you only worry about networking once.

These systems have been around and greatly improved for all kinds of use cases, yet it seems like nobody is paying attention.
Which cells or columns are computed and which are input values is often immaterial when viewing the data, and could as well be the other way around. Having a forced visual indication would create an emphasis or distinction that is distracting with respect to using and interpreting the displayed data.

When needed, a visual indication can easily be created with conditional formatting, or with the Show Formulas command (Ctrl+`), as noted by the sibling. Know your tools is the answer here.
You are nitpicking, think 50% of 10 million or whatever number you think your VC money is going to help you reach. Still better than a million. My point is you don't have to take any deal regardless of how unreasonable they are in terms of how fast your investor think you can grow, but you may want some investment to help you grow at a higher rate, sooner. The debate isn't bootstrapping vs financing but how much you can finance and under what conditions.

Ha, same. I think I was eventually trying to hook into kernel-level functions and do it that way (I was using the Android client) but couldn't get far there either, though I think it's technically doable. IIRC, they were using some kind of vtable patching protection around kernel functions to ensure integrity.

I built anti-cheat software (and hardware) before, and it felt like anti-cheat level security. I had an axe to grind with Snapchat, as they rejected me after the first interview round :P

I had to dig into this very topic for a previous product that I was managing.

Satellite photography/sensing vs Airplane based vs UAV based vs local vs point detection.

The higher the altitude of your sensor, the larger the swath of land you can sense, but with height comes tradeoffs... cost, weather, satellite availability, latency/how often the satellite is going to be over where you want to sense just to name a few.

Closer to or on the ground means you can get pinpoint accuracy but that comes with increasing cost of labor. Think cost of an airplane or UAV pilot vs an individual walking around with a methane sensor sniffing around flanges, valve stems, etc.

The different approaches are somewhat complimentary. Satellite can you tell you've got a problem area. You can then deploy people on the ground to "zoom in", but if you're operating a ton of sites, you wouldn't start on the ground.

Leo does a great job explaining why VC's want liquidation preferences.

But founders/employees want them too! With all the crazy founder-friendly deals of 2021, I never heard of one in the US without a liquidation preference.

Why? Liquidation preferences allow the VC bought securities to be treated as "preferred" and reduce the common stock price in the 409a valuation report, allowing early employees to get options at low prices.

If VC's invested in common stock the strike prices would be much higher, making it less lucrative to be an early employee.

In parts of Europe there is different tax treatment for options and employees generally don't own as many shares due to it... and some of those companies don't have liquidation preferences. I believe Klarna (Sweden) doesn't have preferred shares, meaning the huge swing in valuation they had over the past few years is not as bad as it seems.

TBH the whole 409a thing is a charade & we probably need to clean up how we do accounting & taxes but until we do, preferred shares are here to stay.

I am not a native english speaker, but as a teenager I definitely used weird slang - actually I still do in my private conversations - that if had to be perceived by someone would definitely seem unprofessional, etc. But I would have been perfectly capable of changing wording to type grammatically correct version of the language expected anywhere in professional situations.

Is the author implying that African Americans wouldn't be able to do that? Isn't that implication a bit racist in itself?

E.g. are they saying that given a professional context they wouldn't be able to use the Standard English?

I have seen plenty of African Americans or any race be able to speak grammatically decent standard English, wherever they are from.

The whole thing feels like trying to trick the LLMs. If they were to use slang or private conversations of anyone versus standard American English it would be perceived as lower int/lazy.
> I lack fighting spirit, don't want to spend money for weapons and I'm not afraid of Russia (live in Germany).

Aren't those statements contradicting as at least two separate sets of ideas?

If you lack fighting spirit, you don't want to fight. So you should want more money spent on weapons, so that you don't have to fight. Aristotle said "if you want peace, prepare for war".

If you don't want to fight, you should be afraid of everyone who does: e.g. russia.

putin clearly said he wants to restore the old ussr borders. This means eventually taking eastern Germany. And then you just have to naively assume if he succeeds at that, he will stop at that. I mean, let's be honest, he can't possibly live that long to see his plan fully completed, but let's say he has successors continuing his work.

I know that there is this comfortable seemingly impenetrable boundary of NATO alliance: but recently Trump said he would invite putin to attack on NATO members that don't put enough GDP % into military spending (e.g. Germany), and new Slovakian government is significantly more prorussian (meeting with russia and Hungary).

In January 2022 experts almost unanimously said it would be ridiculous for russia to attack Ukraine.

Don't be afraid of russia, but also act to actually support your peace of mind.

This glucose device is a sensor. Sensors generally produce noise, sometimes a lot of noise, and require post processing in order to get the signal you wanted. The raw data is interesting but often not reliable as input.

That kind of processing is usually complex and companies often seek IP protection and close their source or use DRM. Whether that’s good or bad is a matter of opinion but the motivation is clear.

Weird hostility. Apple's trackpads are best in class, there's no serious debate about this.

They have to. I mean, google wants to sell ads. If the service (google search) was crap, less people would use it. Kind of like bing or the other search engines that barely anyone uses outside of a few tech circles.

I don't think it's a bad take at all.

The very latest and greatest version of Outlook, has broken Search. Not in a subtle way, no, as in the "remove focus from the goddamn text box after you've typed a couple of characters" kind of broken.

I've had to remove and re-add accounts to fix Outlook issues more than all other email client issues combined. This is especially prevalent with the mobile versions.

Do you know how many times I've had to reset the view after Outlook, for no reason discernible, decided to change it, delete it or simply corrupt the file. I stopped counting after I had to start using scientific notation.

We'll continue to disagree on the App versions of Outlook.

The web version is ok.. I will agree with you on that point.

my philosophy when management refuse to acknowledge problems (when they're real problems), is to make sure to allow them to actually be problems. make the problem and the impact known, make the solution known, then sit back and let the problem be a problem.

don't work harder to compensate for it, don't suggest workarounds or help to implement them (in fact you should pick holes in workarounds and find problems with them if you can). people will not ever solve your problems, they will only solve their own problems, so make sure it's their problem too.
