For those like me who didn't know what Cloudflare Calls are, and had trouble parsing the headline

FTA:

"Cloudflare Calls lets developers build real-time audio/video apps using WebRTC, and it abstracts away the complexity by turning the Cloudflare network into a singular SFU. In this post, we dig into how we make this possible.

...

Selective Forwarding Units (SFUs) play pivotal roles in scaling WebRTC applications. An SFU functions by receiving multiple media or data flows from participants and deciding which streams should be forwarded to other participants, thus acting as a media stream routing hub. This mechanism significantly reduces bandwidth requirements and improves scalability by managing stream distribution based on network conditions and participant needs."

I get where you're going, but I think it depends a lot to me on what somebody did. If it's all water under the bridge, fine. But if the people are still recovering from the harm, I have more questions. If they haven't apologized or made amends, same deal.

And I think it's always reasonable to keep an eye out for the extent to which patterns are still repeating. Some of us become better people over time, and some of us just get better at covering up.
> before going straight to the Next.js or Remix behemoths where we'll have 45min builds pulling in thousands of NPM dependencies over half a million files in node_modules.

You sound unhappy as well, and you also sound like you're doing something terribly wrong here.

My experience with people following the HTMX hype is backend developers annoyed by JavaScript not being perfect and node_modules size.

node_modules is never that big, and even if it is it's not a problem as big as maintaining complicated (i.e. not trivial) projects with these tools.

At the end of the day it depends mostly on your skills and the requirements for the project you're working on. As I said if you have some UX experience and you care about loading states, page transitions, animations and in general the little details then something built with these tools will be unmaintainable by anyone other than the person that implemented it in the first place.

node_modules too big? so what? that's not all of it shipped to the browser and I have plenty of space on my computer. A mess of html attributes, logic split between jquery, backend, html attributes, etc? Now that's a bigger problem.

And why I said "hype"? Well, because people suddenly see it as the greatest thing ever because some youtubers/podcasters made it popular, when there've been similar solutions for ages and nobody cared (i.e. Unpoly). But if the right youtuber talks about it, then boom! Everyone is saying everything should be done this way from now on.

As I said in another comment, the idea is great and I like it. But as the creator of the library said MANY times: It's not a replacement for component based frameworks. It's a great tool for the simpler use cases where react/vue/etc would be overkill.

My rant is about people acting as this is the future for everything, which again, the author of the library itself says it's not, and he's a smart guy.

> ~1/1000 chance that your main chute doesn't deploy

Yes

> times a ~1/1000 chance that the reserve doesn't deploy

No. There is way smaller chance that your reserve would not deploy, not even to M, but MM. I think there were some stories about fatalities caused by this. The one issue I remember - there was a gear issue in a condition, when a skydiver is passed out and on his back - AAD (Automatic Activation Device) fired at 1000 feet, and the reserve did not open in time. I am not sure if that was a fatality or not. But all the containers of this type went through modification.

Main does not open because they are packed by skydivers or packers in 5–10 minutes (or 30-60 if you are new). So you can skip the step, or do it not correctly, or forget something. Reserves are packed by FAA certified riggers and it takes at least an hour to pack the reserve. Reserves are packed similar to BASE canopies (where there is only one canopy, and it has to open).

> a small factor because people (especially beginners) do dumb stuff

That is a big factor. Similar to car drivers, some skydivers just feel too confident at the beginning of their career and start doing low, high-performance turns. And obviously, there are some other various factors - weather, other skydivers, other people, and own mistakes.

Having spent the past year building a journey planner algorithm, which heavily builds on pareto optimality/sets, from scratch, I was waiting for the full set of pareto optimal solutions. I.e. all kart combinstions that are best in at least one way.

Should be doable by iterating through all possible stats and merging[1] into a set for each one. We might get a lot of solutions, but it should be somewhat managable.

Has anyone tried this?

SEEKING WORK | Located in India | Remote, can work in any needed timezone

I'm a back-end developer who has worked extensively with Golang (and to some extent Python and Ruby on Rails) in production in the last 4+ years and designed/built/updated numerous complex APIs and services, some from scratch. Over time - through production experiences and a few mentors - I've learnt to write code that's extendable, robust and scalable.

MY IDIOSYNCRASIES: a) Obsessed (I'd call it care) about the reliability of software I create b) Tend to over-communicate (as opposed to under-communicate) c) An 'own-this-thing-and-get-the-job-done' attitude (as opposed to 'I-did-my-job').

AVAILABILITY: 25 hours (in any needed timezone) in a week.

I would like to say (even if I say so myself) that in my past work, I have been able to 'ship quickly and with quality' in 25 hours a week

TECH STACK (worked a lot with these): Golang, PostgreSQL, Redis, GCP, Docker, Kubernetes

Also worked with these in the past: Python, Ruby on Rails, Airflow, MongoDB, Kafka, ElasticSearch, IPFS

> I don’t think there’s a meaningful way to reduce everything to a single dimension.

Not everything all at once, no. But given just two things, I figure there's a community of experts somewhere (maybe nearby even) that can balance them better than I can. I'd like a better way of somehow tapping into that.
I have never been a tandem instructor, but AFF instructor, where we teach people to jump on their own. The satisfaction of seeing how much happiness those people get is undescribable.

For skydivers in the sport - this task is not terrifying anymore. It is the same as driving a car. You know shit can happen, but the more open you keep your eyes and check everything, the less likely anything is going to happen.
I create fake tasks to stress myself out and compel myself to do things that make me feel better in the long run. I don't use Goodreads but I've been trying to read 20-24 books this year (I'm on track for 20). Obviously word count can drastically change the difficulty of this, but I'm not worrying about it since I know what I'm reading—if I only end up with 15 in December, but one of them is War and Peace, I'll still feel like I accomplished my goal.

Knowing that I'm a week behind or whatever tells me that I've been focusing on things that don't make me as happy as reading books does, and I should make an effort to spend less of my day watching YouTube and more of it reading books (that's what I spent that time on, not reading Proust).

I don't think I'd call it stress, I think anxiety is a more accurate term, but it's a helpful form of anxiety. I've also been reading with friends on a schedule, and the anxiety of having to be ready for our next meeting makes me read more too. Again, I find it really useful and it's made me generally happier day-to-day.

Ah.. apologies for my misguidance below. It made me realize that I wrote these blog posts with a VM on another Hypervisor, not on my Proxmox/LXC (just the Docker guide that I haven't yet transitioned to rootless-in-unprivileged-lxc).

See the explanation here [1]: Unprivileged LXC on Proxmox seem to be restricted to the uid range below 65536 UIDs/GIDs (to be used _inside_ the LXC -> to be mapped to > 100000:165536 outside the LXC/on the host).

In order to use subuids/gids > 65536 inside the LXC, add a mapping to the LXC config:

root:100000:65536

to /etc/subgid and /etc/subuid.

Now you'll have 100000 to 165536 available inside the LXC, where you can add:

devel:100000:65536

to the /etc/subgid and /etc/subuid inside the LXC, for nested rootless podman/docker.

As a consequence, you're mapping the devel user to the same range as the LXC root user. In other words, processes inside the LXC and inside the rootless podman could run in the same namespace on the Proxmox host. If you don't want that, you'll need to provide additional ranges to the LXC (e.g. root:100000:165536 and then map `devel` to (e.g.) 200000 to 265536 (devel:200000:265536).

* I did not actually test all stated above.

Would be great if the example tables were great for such a post. Like their remote correspondent's table: they've actually made it partially worse in the "great tables" style:

- now the dates are not vertically aligned, and

- the weights have repetition of units (lbs) (although losing the decimal is an improvement)

- the name column is way too visually "heavy", that's a style you'd reserve for a header, a simple bold would suffice

They've also retained other issues from the original like city not being a city, but a combo of city and region, or similarly no separation of the first name of a person, which is especially important for a diverse group of people

What is a Tuned Mass Damper? [video]
> Amit Soussana, who says vague things like 'at one time a guard forced me to do a sexual thing'.

What do you mean by vague? That's someone who was raped recounting her rape. That tag also includes other testimonies of witnesses who saw people being raped.

Other testimonies and videos there show the militants entering villages and shooting civilians.

Here, take this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAFDI63yvNQ&rco=1

Look at around the 1:10 mark, you can see some more examples. There's also this website, though I can't access it: https://saturday-october-seven.com/, so I'm not sure what it contains.

> I mean, there were obviously civilians who were killed by palestinians during that day, which isn't surprising or something I contest.

So what are you saying? 1,200 Israelis died that day. Hundreds who were at a music rave. Hundreds who were families in their homes in various villages. We have footage for some of these deaths, but obviously not all 1200, so even if I show you twenty videos, you can still say "well that's just a few". What exactly are you looking for?

There are hundreds of articles of journalists who got access to the 47-minute video compilation that is not publicly available, but contains far more material showing the various things Hamas did. E.g. this Tweet/video I randomly found by Chris Cuomo: https://twitter.com/ChrisCuomo/status/1735473602806399155?la...

Look, it's totally right to criticize Israel, but denying the many atrocities committed on October 7th is pretty indefensible. If you're engaged enough with this subject to discuss it in online forums to the extent you are doing, I don't think there's much I can say that you haven't seen, or that you can't find with fairly cursory searches. Thousands of mainstream media sources, of all political stripes, document exactly the same thing, and there's plenty of footage.

And for what it's worth, just talk with almost any Israeli, like me, and we can just tell you about the many people killed. Without doing any searching for it or anything, I can tell you I know about 8 people who lost loved ones, friends or family, on October 7th. It's just as anecdotal as seeing random video footage, I know, but I'm a real person who's been here on HN for many years.

This is a bit of looking at the statistics the wrong way.

I'm a skydiving instructor, btw, with about 2,000 jumps.

Skydiving is remarkably safe considering all the factors involved. That's primarily for two reasons: The gear and the training

* Like anything in aviation, the gear has iterated over the years to be very safe. Skydiving in the early days was less safe. We have better gear now that has made it much safer. Same for aviation: Airplanes have a lot of safety features that they didn't have decades ago, and fatalities and incidents in general are extremely rare.

* Training has come a long way as well, with a more standardized curriculum and like the gear, iterations over the decade to address weak points. Procedures have been developed so when faced with a situation, we can react instead of analyze. Problem solving in the sky is not a good option. So the likely things that could happen, we have procedures for that we memorize. They're simple for solo skydivers, and a bit more complicated for a tandem instructor.

With well maintained gear and proper currency on procedures, skydiving is very safe. The most common issues are sprained ankles or broken wrists from band landings.

So what causes the deaths?

Like the rest of aviation, we are the biggest risk factors: Human error.

One of the leading reasons why skydivers are killed is a sport called "swooping", which is spinning a parachute to build speed and planning out right above the ground. It's a sport with very little margin for error. 10 feet can meant the difference of dragging your toe across the water for an epic video clip or a broken femur (or worse). In skydiving, femur is a verb. "I heard so-and-so femured". Do a Google search on it and you can see both why swooping is appealing the practitioners and also dangerous as fuck.

A tandem jump doesn't involve swooping. So by virtue of being a tandem passenger, the leading cause of death of skydivers is eliminated. Lumping all skydives together from a risk perspective doesn't make much sense, given the wide variety of risks associated with various types of skydiving. Tandem skydives, while not risk free, are among the least risky skydives done.

The death of the 18 year old tandem passenger at Lodi was essentially human error. The tandem instructor had a malfunction (the drogue didn't inflate) and didn't react according to the training developed. There was a whole controversy about how the instructor examiner didn't train the new instructors correctly and just signed them off anyway. The death was sadly mostly a failure of training and procedures. The gear malfunctioned, as all gear can, but the proper procedures likely would've resulted in a mildly interesting story told over beers instead of a tragedy.
"etc." is the most important part here. There is NL SFT and code SFT data which guessing by the names are instruction data very likely from GPT-4. It is known in finetuning community that training with GPT-4 data is the easiest way of improving the model. If that's the case base JetMoE should be compared to finetuned llama, not base llama.
Dashboard Wireframing Tool
Which is your go-t0 dashboard wireframing tool?
That is not true.

1. FAA has chapters about skydiving operations. They are simple and tiny, but they exist.

2. USPA has rules. USPA members has to follow them, even when they jump not in USPA locations.

And yes, Lodi is known for their operations. If you go to the USPA drop zone, it is different.
In the original MK8, the Triforce tires and Hylean gliders were pretty good, but the stats in MK8 Deluxe for them are not nearly as good.
Then the particle physicists win.

Do you really want them to win?
Which is your go-to dashboard wireframing tool?
It is a huge deal, and it is a significant restriction. Why do you think Facebook added this restriction?

They don't want competition as big as them.

Maybe you can't imagine having 800M users yourself, but this restriction already means that:

- you can't build something that a mega corporation can use.

- you might need to sum up users of all your clients, which you can't really do without painful measures you haven't needed to set up so far.

- if you ever reach 800M, Facebook now decides your fate

The other issue is that we can't afford everyone and their dogs adding their own small restriction to open source. Mixing code bases with each their own small restriction ends up in hell.
