There are plenty of vulnerabilities for old versions and plenty of people that don't install updates or have out-of-support phones. I need look no further than my immediate family to have multiple examples of both (yes I help them manage this). Yet I've never heard of anyone experiencing negative consequences from not updating a phone. (At least, not beyond some high-profile people that made the news.) Computers, sure. But why not phones? Is the data on there not valuable enough? Too often sync'd to a server?

I don't know but there's something here beyond the ability to install software like you've always been able to do on Android
If burned out one thing I would suggest is to prioritize yourself. Make time for a break, spend time with yourself to step back, assess and analyze the situation. This personally helped me to sort out my thoughts, think of a long term and short term plan. Reset and restart with a new hobby along with work. We all may feel like quitting at some point as a founder but a short break and reset helps us align our thoughts, prioritize what matters most. Personally what helped me is that I have started taking out conscious time for family and friends, daily meditation and reading.
Shh, it's a secret, don't tell people.
Can't see the relevance of that.
I have an Ortek clone of the AEK II, and use it with TMK running on a ProMicro - I was pleasantly surprised by just how easy it was to get up and running.
(Ironically I'd sold an iMate on Ebay a few weeks before acquiring the keyboard!)

I took it to a retro computer meet a few days ago, connected to a SiDi128 FPGA device running the Minimig Amiga core - caused a few double-takes!

Use this a lot. It's nice and simple and has exactly the tools you need (playback speed control, easy pause/play) and nothing more. Greatly prefer it over automatic transcription tools give you 40 pages of 'umm's and 'ahhhh's to filter through and edit.

The intent is pretty clear and uncontroversial: profit by all means, like any other for-profit entity. Real problems arise when the company becomes (nearly-)monopolistic and their actions start to harm whole industries, like in this case. In other news, monopolies are bad for you.

Nobody is going to force you to use an alternative app store or browser. If you want to use the official Apple ones then that's just fine.

Other people want the choice. And they're getting it. But that doesn't affect you at all.
Huh! I searched for both cables and cables.gl and it didn't show up yesterday
Agreed. There needs to be serious statistics to back up the claim that it is SO COMMON the case where one wheel off the ground and thus you're stuck -- it's SO COMMON and the effects SO CATASTROPHIC that the punishment is potentially 6 months incarceration (aka ruining most people's lives permanently). I've seen plenty of 4wd vehicles stuck for myriad reasons. How about adding vehicle weight, tire pressure, tire diameter, tire width, tread depth, tread pattern, passenger count, mandatory shovels, mandatory boards, mandatory jacks, to the law??

And to think the rangers WENT OUT OF THEIR WAY to install secret trail cams and then pour over the footage or set up some CV software to auto send such damning letters to those who dare enjoy the national park!

This blows my mind. And these rangers should be ashamed of themselves.
Hello Manuel,

Thanks for the nice words. I enjoyed our talk and I hope you found someone in the end. I also really liked the product and hope things are going great.
TensorRT-LLM on K8s
Powerful or easy to use, choose one. That seems to be the big problem when looking for LLM inference options. Which is strange because if you look at LLMs compared to other ML models they should actually be pretty standardised. You have a single dominant model architecture. That almost all run on the GPUs of one of the largest market cap companies in the world. Using unstructured text as its input. So the input schema is basically a principal built-in types of the language all these models are created with.

However when looking at inference optimisations there are basically more frameworks than their are applications. Lot of abstracting of inference engine like vLLM. But that means that vLLM is now unintentionally gate keeping what people can do with LLMs in production. How did we end up here?

To prevent introducing yet-another (TM) inference framework. I can't help but wonder why did nobody figure out to run TensorRT-LLM on K8s. Or why didn't NVIDIA figure out that if you build a tool that potentially has the most feature rich inference implementation of LLMs. But it doesn't seem to be picked up quite as much you might need to work on the easy of implementation. Somebody please enable me to use TensorRT-LLM on k8s and call me.
Not sure how is this relevant. The mobile market is just on another level in terms of users and money. Apple is a business not a charity. It makes sense that they don't want to incur in expenses that don't increase revenue. Tech nerds have this idea that tech businesses should do stuff just because. Do you ask your milk provider to incur in more expenses just because?

It would be different if Apple had made some pledges or commitments towards this. But it hasn't. Its only commitment is to make money for the shareholders. Everything else is secondary

> That's not true. Many launch vehicles have succeeded on their first flight:

Titan II failed several times during development and there was considerable drama between the Air Force and NASA getting the Titan II man-rated because of this. The man-rated version, Titan II GLV, never failed, but by a similar token man-rated Starships have never failed (nor ever flown.). If we're comparing apples to apples, then Titan II had numerous failures if Starship has.

> > I was not paid or compensated for this article in any way

Hahah, I’ve been in that plane. Only in my case, it was a flight to a steak house in central California, and I didn’t actually do anything to get “compensated”, I was just at the right place at the right time.

Anyway, I am extremely excited about this update, RPi are knocking it out of the park. That there is a variant with flash now is a godsend by itself, but the updates to the PIO and DMA engines make me dream up all sorts of projects.
This requires iron discipline. Maybe with some kind of linter for Terraform / kubectl it could be done.
There's a huge swathe of languages between Python and C++. On threads about Node's performance (which is somewhere in between) people regularly say that it's unfair of developers to solely focus on devex, which is the argument here.

> On multiple occassions I had to port parts of Python projects to C++ for performance reasons, and the amount of code you have to write (and time you need to spend) is mind blowing. Sometimes a single line of Python would expand to several files of C++, and you always had to redesign it somehow so that memory and lifetime management becomes feasible.

Part of that is because it's designed for python. Using this benchmark example, the python code (without imports) is 36 lines and the go code is 70. Except, we're doing a 1:1 copy of python to go here, not writing it like you would write go. Most of the difference is braces, and the test scaffold.

I'd also argue the go code is more readable than the python code, doubly so when it scales.

Hi Zai and Konsti!

I expect we're in your target demographic, small team using Next.js and Supabase with a lot of ambition and not enough time in the day :)

Stack Auth is one of those things I didn't quite realize I might want – we're using Supabase Auth at the moment during our EAP, with Nango as an OAuth proxy, and I've been hesitant to build out organizations without a good reference implementation – we've rolled it ourselves before and never been really satisfied with the results. At the moment we're rolling a deployment-per-org, which is ok for small teams, if a little cumbersome to manage, but we'll need a solution for larger companies. I've had supabase_rbac[1] in the back of my mind for this.

Stack Auth seems like it could solve a few of these, but do you see yourselves proxying APIs for OAuth, or will you leave that to other service providers?

I hate that it kicks off with "DISCLAIMER: This is not my work. I would never and don't condone illegal hacking of scammers"

You know what? I do. We all should. These scammers are awful people and deserve to be attacked. I am tired of toothless authorities like CISA and the alphabet agencies in the US doing next to nothing about it unless some YouTube scam baiter does the work for them. Scammers destroy people, not just financially, but emotionally as well, even driving some victims to suicide. As far as I am concerned, any wannabe hacker out there should be using these scammers for target practice.
Exactly. Mercedes calls theirs "4MATIC", which might make you think it's 4WD, but nope, it's AWD.

(Technically the full name for it is "4MATIC AWD", but no one actually calls it that.)
How come Apple is installing itself as the qualified party to judge if a browser is good or not? It's rich coming from the company that has been feeding us Safari for so many years.

I don't mind the expectation for a certain level of quality on the app store, however it should not propagate to alternative stores.
The cars are equipped with a differential that distributes power differently between the wheels. This is particularly useful for preventing the wheels from squealing when cornering. In a bend, the four wheels do not turn at the same speed between the inside and outside of the bend.
This gives you better grip, a smoother ride, etc. It's really essential.

- When you have two wheel drive you only have one differential between the two wheels.
- When you have four-wheel drive you have three differentials, one between the front wheels, one between the rear wheels and one between the front and rear.
So far so simple.

Now one of the problems with differentials is that if one of the wheels loses traction, it gets all the power back and spins in a vacuum.

Finding yourself with a wheel in the sand, in the air, on the snow, etc. is very common when driving off-road or in the mountains. This problem has been solved with the differential lock, which can be manual or automatic. When locked, the differential is locked and power is transmitted equally to the wheels.
So you can get out of your sandy or snowy hole. That's what we call a 4x4.

A All-wheel-drive has no differential locking system.So if one wheel loses its grip, the vehicle is stuck. There's nothing you can do - all the power will go to the wheel with the least grip.

So AWD is particularly unsuitable for off-road use and shouldn't be sold as such.

Some off-road vehicles do not have a differential, such as quad bikes or buggies. Perfect for mud, not so great on the road.

I began using IRC before the age of 10, creating fond memories along the way. But let's face the harsh reality: IRC has largely become obsolete for most purposes. The alternatives available now are not only more user-friendly but also offer superior functionality for the general population, so I highly doubt IRC will become popular once again anytime. While it is sad, why would anyone choose to use outdated 90s technology that poses challenges for the average user when there are more advanced and accessible options?
This is more a measurement of looping, calling the min function and printing than the language itself. All benchmarks is of course that to some degree, but I really don't think this is a good comparison.
It's not like it would be illegal to distribute the apps outside of the EU, it's that Apple doesn't want to.

I'm in the process of similar transition in global manufacturing company, where my role is to build internal engineering team to essentially increase ownership and remove reliance on external vendors. So far I would say it worked, but with a few caveats. One key thing to note is that usually you don't have to build e2e team to replace your current vendor, as replacing key roles might be good enough to drive visible positive change.

What I would suggest is to divide the work scope into smaller chunks, eg. isolate applications / systems. This will allow you to distribute the work to other vendors or your own in house IT team. The change usually requires a lot of work in different areas, such as clearly defining people functions, R&Rs or work organization. Then you insource key roles, and see if the effects are what you're expecting. Having some local CTO type of person to drive the change would definitively help.

Overall I would expect the process to take several quarters, highly depending on your system complexity and vendor lock-in (they will not be happy about the change!).

I've seen in the other comments reco to find freelancers instead of FTE, and it could work depending on local market specifics. In some countries you have to watch out for employment laws and potential issues. I'm based in Poland so can provide more info if you want to chat (myr11242@gmail.com). Good luck regardless :)
If I wasn't as conflict-averse as I am, if someone I just met were to start asking me these questions my first reaction would be,

why should I tell you any of this? What makes you think you're worthy of my most personal thoughts? How do I know you're someone I can be vulnerable with? I don't share most of these thoughts with my closest friends and family in normal circumstances, why should I trust a complete stranger with it?

This thread is downing in replies but I just want to add one major thing: Focus on the data. Where it is, where it's going, who needs it, when they need it. Build up from there.
Yes, they do. And allowing third party app stores and browsers only leads to more security and privacy issues.

No one is saying that Apple apps don't have issues. The point is that allowing more entities to make and run these apps on iOs will just make it worse. And having security issues in app store or in a browser is a far more problematic thing than a security issue in a random app. Especially if the app store or browser is run by someone that is not Apple.
Edge has this, and vertical tabs too.
That says more about you than about those making those decisions. Have you ever spent the time to figure out why those tech companies might prefer to issue Macs? To look at their total cost of ownership numbers, at the availability of configuration management and security software, at levels of support, and at overall reliability and machine lifespan?

I've been involved in a few exercises to decide what type of machine to use as a standard developer spec device. MacBooks generally turned out to be our best option when taking all requirements into account.

Linux-based offerings are getting steadily better, which is a good thing, but levels of support are still a bit of a problem.

Sounds great! Yep, I think Stack would be a good fit. We don't proxy APIs, instead we just give you the access token and refresh it automatically so you can pass it alongside your requests to the original endpoints. If you want to proxy requests for some reason (analytics, observability, etc), you may want to keep using Nango, Panora, or the like.

I agree that as human beings we can’t live without stories as thinking tool. Although I wouldn’t call it “understanding” but “interpreting”.

I wanted to say that good vs evil are hardly absolutes. No one at a large corporate comes to work saying: today I will be evil again.

Instead they tell themselves they’re helping investors getting a good return, or that they’re “smashing Google for copying iOS”.

There is a great quote by Shakespeare saying: “There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.”

I’d say storytelling makes it so!
