Think of Lightroom or automation over files. Many semi professionals from wedding photographers to designers want some form of batch automation and organization system over their files. Several megabytes/gigabytes assets and you want t

I made my master thesis on real-time, with a chapter where I experimented with different levels of jitter and latency. Jitter is the consistency of the latency, is it like a locked 66ms or sometimes does it go to 200ms. Jitter is more impac

For years, I heard it's better to use cron, because the problem was already solved the right way(tm). My experience with cron has been about a dozen difficult fixes in production of cron not running / not with the right permission

One of the very first slides of François’ presentation is about defining AGI. Do you have anything that opposes his synthesis of the two (50 years old) takes on this definition?

Identities are very hard to manage and secure overall. Audits are super long, tedious. Adding more dimensions into reviews that aren't properly done right now will be extremely tricky.

Maintaining e2e tests is a pain. Maintaining a notebook is a pain. It seems it was a given somebody would make this match made in heaven!

Ahaha! Read the subtitle of the blog, literally at the top: "If you take nothing else from this blog: quantum computers won't solve hard problems instantly by just trying all solutions in parallel."

I' m European. Apple got charged by the European Union for $14.4 billions of unpaid taxes between 2019 and 2021. Back of the mapkin they employ 22k people in EU (data Apple), average salary $80k (Apple), taxes at 30% per employee (my o

None of them are good players for humanity. "Don't be evil" is long gone. They don't pay taxes, pollute, give means to manipulate billions of humans, concentrate wealth in a few hands. They all give with ulterior motives

The idea behind Homomorphic lib is to allow 2 basic operations (such as add, multiply) on encrypted numbers. They return encrypted numbers as well. From those basic operations, we can build more complex functions. That's the gist of t

Pretty awesome. Would love to use it in CI and locally for our PG product. We use Prisma, so I guess we have to wait for the connector that looks like pg to plug it in.

I start to feel this is all marketing. Pretend it's dangerous, so it implies it's beyond what we imagine. Because on our end, on the reality of a B2B product used daily, finding use cases for the limited OpenAI we have access to

By GET, do you mean “get all fields of the unique item with id=x”? Oltp (sql), mongo or cassandra are working similarly for this and have the same complexity. Even worse, the same operation on the same storage can have very different perfor

I looked up the definition of scam and the goal is to make money out of the naivety of the victim. It involves a crisis, the illusion of shared exposure to a risk. The price of cdn bandwidth is about 0.01/gb on low volume (cloudflare,

The current taxi market is already structured that way: drivers in SF aren’t from SF. So no competitive advantage there, or not significant enough to change the game yet.

Having to be remotely operated every 2.5 to 5 miles seem to defeat most of the economics of self driving cars. Back of the napkin math, cars drive at an average of 18mph in cities, so every 10-20min. Let’s assume it takes over for 1min, and

Thanks for checking with us. SSR makes auth based routing harder as well as any faceted renders like localization (because now not only the cli needs to query the api, but also the rendering server, with all the CORS/security config th

Really not interesting for us. Makes what’s simple simpler and what’s hard harder. Sure for a quick prototype website with 10min only that would help, but any decently sized app that needs auth/localization/high performance in mem

Those news should be carefully regulated. After working for 2 years in the field as an engineering manager directly responsible in getting good numbers, none of the claims of the time were genuine, but were just framed in a way that provide

All official information mentions “shutting doors” and “winding down” and not necessarily a bankruptcy. For instance, in the same space, Shone just returned part of the equity to the investors, paid comp to the execs for a full year, and us

PostgreSQL will match your requirements. Although you won’t load that fast, just because generating the embeddings take longer than that, independently of your storage engine.

You can bring in investors, go in retirement, sell your company. So ownership of a company can change. One way of doing that is to sell shares, another way is to give new ones to the newcomers. I don’t know this precise story with Silver La

Whats your SRE / DevOps ratio? In my experience, in the 10 teams I had or oversaw, I had about 1 FTE in DevOps for 15 SRE. Of course it depends, but what’s your personal experience?
