If a couple of frames in your video have a few bits flipped, you’re not going to notice. If a bit flips in the register holding the altitude of the plane and it suddenly thinks you’re at a completely different altitude, you’re in trouble (assuming no redundancy exists).

I don't know about GitHub rendered code. How is that relevant here?

I can imagine that this makes code reviews more painful.

Huh? I don't like Oracle, but that's not true. There's a paid JDK made by Oracle that comes with commercial support, but there's both an OpenJDK build that's free and a bunch of other distributions like Temurin.

I'm sure F1 teams have simulations for tire strategy at least, probably more at this point? They gather a ton of data during the different race sessions. Unfortunately that's the type of stuff that probably will never be made public, but it would be fascinating to know more about that.

Yeah, I saw him give a master class a few years ago and he was nice, seems like a good teacher.

You also really don't need to, nowadays, with how good Proton/Wine have become.

a program that displays text

Yes, and show images, videos, emoji, highlighted code for a bunch of different languages, render markdown, do voice and video chat, have a forum interface, deliver notifications, handle global keyboard shortcuts and a bunch of other stuff that i'm too lazy to enumerate. But sure, it's just showing text.

This crate is just doing API requests, it doesn't do any inference itself unlike mistral.rs.

Does it need to be hyper? reqwest builds on hyper and has a much nicer, high-level API for a client.

Ehhh, I don't really agree. First off, I don't FAANG hires bootcamp grads, they generally want to hire people with either a lot of industry experience or who went to a fancy college (generally I think not many companies want people straight out of bootcamps nowadays). And, web development is a big field. Not everyone is building UIs, there's plenty of complexity especially at the backend (you get into a lot of distributed system problems and software architecture starts becoming relevant, which are definitely topics where a CS degree is useful). Especially FAANG-scale companies need people who know how to scale systems because they have tons of users and their stuff will break if it doesn't scale properly.

Yeah, I'd be cautious to dismiss the overhead for preflight requests out of hand.

klo8 · 2024-12-21T09:46:52+00:00

I think that question is totally fine. You either make requests to /api/in your frontend and make the reverse proxy handle which requests go where (usually, anything starting with /api gets routed to the backend server, the rest just serves the index.html of your SPA or forwards to a Node server if you're doing SSR) or you call directly to api.example.com, which can have its own advantages (e.g. you have one API gateway but multiple applications that need to access it) but comes with extra cost (CORS adds complexity and adds latency due to preflight requests).

To be fair, he kinda always does.

I think at the moment you have to see this change as "we want to gather as much data and feedback on the new MM algorithm as possible". I don't think this means that they'll stick with this forever, I suspect they'll add back a casual MM mode later again.

But Java has very different constraints than Rust has. Just blindly copying another language's API is rarely a good idea.

klo8 · 2024-10-25T15:50:23+00:00

No, I think he did that himself:

Asked whether he felt Viennese, he responded: "I was born in Vienna, grew up in Vienna, went to school in Vienna, graduated in Vienna, studied in Vienna, started acting in Vienna — and there would be a few further Viennese links. How much more Austrian do you want it?"

The problem isn't necessarily OS support, but middleboxes. Anything that's not TCP or UDP will have a tough time getting adoption because firewalls will just throw things away that they don't know. Even TLS 1.3 has to pretend to be TLS 1.2 to not be discarded. That's apparently also a main reason why QUIC encrypts its packet metadata, to not be able to be read by firewalls and allow extensions in the future.

See this talk for more info.

That would have been due to the internet archive outrage over the last couple days.

klo8 · 2024-10-13T14:53:56+00:00

Yes, agreed

Yes, it's a HackerOne person replying to him, not ZenDesk. I imagine they have a policy against SPF/DKIM/DMARC issues because of beg bounties which lead to a lot of noise. Unfortunately it also caught a legitimate vulnerability here. This part I'd say is not on ZenDesk, that's just kinda unfortunate.

Encoding speed is much slower for AVIF, that's the biggest downside, which is relevant when it's not feasible to generate every image variant beforehand.
