Missing one of the key reasons: most SMBs are sharing seats (usually in violation of the license terms for the products they're using), which is rather harder with good SSO products. Per seat licensing for b2b products is lucrative, but carries the risk that you're just pushing your customers to share passwords, which is usually way worse for security.
> The voltage is a mess on LFP

That's a weird statement. The voltage curve for LFP [0] is just a lot flatter. That's nice for your electronics, but makes it hard to estimate state of charge based on the voltage alone. So the BMS needs to keep track of total energy used to calculate state-of-charge.

To recycle a rant, there's a whole bunch of hype and investor money riding on a very questionable idea here, namely:

"If we make a really really good specialty text-prediction engine, it could be able to productively mimic an imaginary general AI, and if it can do that then it can productively mimic other specialty AIs, because it's all just intelligence, right?"
Do people actually like ligatures? I tried it with the IntelliJ font and I could just not get used to it. Maybe because I'm slightly dyslexic, but boy, it almost felt like the code I was reading was in a different language.

I have a 2024 Model 3 LR. It is very nice.

Yes, it is stalkless. You get used to this in minutes, and, IME, stalks feel antiquated soon after that.

It drives really well and is a much smoother and quieter ride than our 2020 Model 3 LR without sacrificing performance.

I also drove the 2022 Model S refresh. This car was also very nice, but it feels heavy and, in my opinion, doesn't command the cost they're asking for it (especially when it was, like, $110k for the LR variant). Also, it's headlights are somehow worse than the Model 3.
Not sure if it meets your criteria for "innovative" (the word has become practically meaningless anyways), but the HarmonyOS [1] project is very interesting.

> It’s becoming a region that is profitable enough to exist in but not to invest in

Then so be it. If Europe's market collapses under the weight of it's own regulation, it's not Apple's fault. Except, Europe's market isn't collapsing and in fact leading multiple nations in drafting similar legislation. If forcing Apple to compete makes their risk forecast worse, reciprocally, that's not the EU's concern or problem. It might just reward the innovation and smart consumer-first design Apple has been avoiding recently.

If you think these laws are "unclear" then you must be in abject denial of what it's purpose is. It's called the "Digital Markets Act". There is a single company that these crosshairs are aimed at, and Apple wants to whine and say it's not fair that a municipal government caught their profiteering racket. Poor thing! What if trillion-dollar Apple decides they can't invest in Europe's future!

Scaremongering. The EU isn't inherently righteous, but their lack of connection to Apple's tax dollars made it very easy to call out Apple's hypocrisy. All Apple can do is whine, and pretend like they weren't illegally abusing Europe's market. I say pretend, because Apple knew full-well that what they were doing was wrong, and now invests inordinate amounts of money marketing, lawyering and lobbying their way out of it.
You can build stairs on the near side of the trough before you commit to climbing down into it.

Prototyping and figuring out where the most friction is, chipping away at it with each new feature that touches that area.

One of the cleverest things I figured out on my own rather than stealing from others, was to draw the current architecture, the ideal one, and the compromise based on the limits of the our resources and consequences of earlier decisions. This is what we would implement if we had a magic wand. This is what we can implement right now.

It’s easier to figure out how to write the next steps without climbing into a local optimum if you know where the top of the mountain is. Nothing sucks like trying to fix old problems and painting yourself into new corners. If the original plan is flawed it’s better to fix it by moving closer to the ideal design than running in the opposite direction.

What usually happens is people present an ideal design, get dickered down by curmudgeons or reality, and start chopping up their proposal to fit the possible. Then the original plan exists only in their heads and nobody else can help along the way, or later on.
I find (2) to be kind of a BS narrative. It’s not like they are open-sourcing the code. All big tech companies have security audit programs. Does that assuage your security concerns when Google, Meta, etc do it? Basically, what they are saying is they are doing it on the backend and you should give them credit for doing it on the frontend because some security researchers are going to get a Disneyland tour.

Personally, I actually am somewhat encouraged that tech companies are subject to legal process (in the form of lawsuit discovery etc). Tech companies have paid billion-dollar settlements for allegedly breaking the laws in segments of their business that don’t generate billions in profits. Obviously there’s a lot of room for them to push the limits of the law, disagreement about what the law is, and there mays be ways for them to get away with things. But the fact that audits are happening, the code and logs can end up in court acts as some kind of constraint on their behavior.

To anyone else who may be confused like I was: Rockset will, in fact, "gradually transition current customers off Rockset". The OpenAI announcement linked above doesn't say so, but the Rockset announcement does:

Sure, but it’s probably not a coincidence that this outage occurred shortly after their rollout of AI results. One could reasonably speculate that Google added some extra work to their indexing process (e.g. to create embeddings), and underestimated the impact of this change on resource consumption.

As much as I'm bummed that Microsoft never brought VR to Xbox, and that they are removing Windows Mixed Reality support soon, Microsoft definitely made the right business choice on tethered VR. There are too many things that make the total addressable tethered VR market too small for games to sell in profitable volumes.

I'm still very bearish on all VR, at least in the next 5 years, but if it succeeds it will only be as a completely standalone device like Meta Quest or Apple Vision Pro. Meta Quest outsold PSVR2 30:1 this past holiday season.

Can you give some examples for "repeatedly tried to kill SQL"?

For me it's only KeyValue/NoSQL (which trades/focuses on some ACID traits over others) and various incarnations of ORMs (which try to normalize different SQLs and map it to your familiar OOP programming language) that come to mind.

However they are either orthogonal or complementary to SQL.

Careful, though, because you may encounter someone who can sniff out these tricks.

I worked at a place where, like many companies, tracked the bug burndown as one of the measures of project risk. So, the closer you got to the release, the fewer bugs were expected to be open. Having many bugs open early in the project was fine and encouraged. Having few bugs open towards the end was seen as On-track, and having many bugs open towards the end was a red flag, where the program might want to either step in and help organize things or at least raise the risk with higher management. This is a pretty standard scenario you get at a lot of software companies.

Well, one of the teams realized that if they just kept their bug count always at zero, they'd never be bothered by those nasty, annoying project managers. So that's what they did. They were constantly in crisis, fixing problems and committing code, but their bug counts always looked great. A trivial bug tracker query revealed what they were doing: They'd just keep a side bug tracker in a doc rather than filing them in the real tracker, and then seconds before committing the code, they'd quick create a bug and use that as the required bug in the commit message.

So, the following week, these "ninja bugs" were added to the automated reports, and that behavior ended quickly.

At the time, we had already been using React for front-end widgets so migrating most other parts to then latest .NET Core 3.1 went surprisingly smooth. There were a couple of EF queries that stopped working as EF Core disabled application side evaluation by default, but that was ultimately a good thing as the intention wasn't to pull more data than needed.

Instead, the actual source of problems was K8S and the huge amount of institutional knowledge it required that wasn't there. I still don't think K8S is that good, it's useful but it and containerized environments in general to this day have a lot of rough edges and poorly implemented design aspects - involved runtimes like .NET CLR and OpenJDK end up having to do special handling for them because reporting of core count and available memory is still scuffed while the storage is likely to be a network drive. The latter is not an issue in C# where pretty much all I/O code is non-blocking so there is no impact on application responsiveness, but it still violates many expectations. Aspects of easy horizontal scaling and focus on lean deployments are primarily more useful for worse languages with weaker runtimes that cannot scale as well within a single process.

I suppose, a silver lining to your situation on the other hand is that developers get to have a PO/PM with strong technical background which makes so many communication issues go away.

Using the space shuttle program as a comparison, because it's easy to get the numbers. There were 13 total deaths (7 from Challenger, 6 from Columbia [0]) during the program. Over 135 missions, the Space Shuttle took 817 people into space. (From [1], the sum of the "Crew" column. The Space Shuttle carried 355 distinct people, but some were on multiple missions.)

So the risk of death could be estimated as 2/135 (fatal flights / total flights) or as 13/817 (total fatalities / total crew). These are around 1.5%, must lower than a 50% chance of death.

This is not to underplay their bravery. This is to state that the level of bravery to face a 1.5% chance of death is extremely high.

We considered to use sth like this to cache some Python program state to speed up the startup time, as the startup time was quite long for some of our scripts (due to slow NFS, but also importing lots of libs, like PyTorch or TensorFlow). We wanted to store the program state right after importing the modules and loading some static stuff, before executing the actual script or doing other dynamic stuff. So updating the script is still possible while keeping the same state.

Back then, CRIU turned out to not be an option for us. E.g. one of the problems was that it was not possible to be used as non-root (https://github.com/checkpoint-restore/criu/pull/1930). I see that this PR was merged now, so maybe this works now? Not sure if there are other issues.

We also considered DMTCP (https://github.com/dmtcp/dmtcp/) as another alternative to CRIU, but that had other issues (I don't remember).

The solution I ended up was to implement a fork server. Some server proc starts initially and only preloads the modules and maybe other things, and then waits. Once I want to execute some script, I can fork from the server and use this forked process right away. I used similar logic as in reptyr (https://github.com/nelhage/reptyr) to redirect the PTY. This worked quite well.
