"The pier has found big wins by making the whole truck-and-cargo flow less “wait your turn,” and more “keep it moving” with the addition of green lanes for ZEVs, tighter gate operations, and by pairing electrified equipment and its sup

Have you heard the good news about regulatory capture? Probably not if you're one of the public. Imagine how the world would look if the EU mandated rs-232c ports on all devices. Or 3.5" headphone jacks. Or the use of D batteries

The software has real software engineers working on it instead of researchers. Remember when people were arguing about whether to use mmap? What a ridiculous argument. At some point someone will figure out how to tile the weights and the me

Everyone is focused on the bad 2 bit result but who cares? He says don’t use it because it’s bad.

The structure of most residential construction in the US is standardized. Foundation (or slab), wood framing, etc. There are different levels of quality, but codes and standards mean that standardization is the norm.

It's fun, but testing has become more of a PITA. When I write code I test and understand each piece. With AI generated code I need to figure out how it works and why it isn't working.

Oh, never mind - yeah, by using the access logs of segments you can effectively anticipate and pre-encode when you need to. And once the hls or cmaf stabilizes you can just encode one resolution. And the player will tell you it wants to mov

But can you still seek on a video that's being instantly transcoded? To be honest I don't know if anyone does that except YouTube, and it jumps to the time so theoretically you have about a second or two when the request comes int

Why bother transcoding on the fly? Storage is cheaper than CPU and the work it takes to determine what needs encoding is excessive. It implies that you guys are generating the playlists on the fly, tracking the client requests, then feeding

The correct question is: from whom? When I was in finance there was a question whether US debt would crowd out other debt instruments. The answer, obviously, is "no." There seems to be an unlimited appetite for zero-risk debt, whi

It can. Not sure what AI you're using, but Gemini outputs great bash. Of course you need to test it. You do have to make sure to tell it what platform you're using, because things like MacOS have different CLIs than Linux.

This actually is easy to do with terraform and shared infrastructure; you don't need an AI in the loop. Who hasn't accidentally deleted a resource because that property triggers a resource delete/create instead of an update?

It's actually no different from how real software is made. Requirements come from the business side, and through an odd game of telephone get down to developers. The team that has developers closest to the customer usually makes the be

I worked at a company where the VPs etc spewed the word "ontology" all the time. We were never sure if they knew they were spewing bullshit or they really believed what they were saying was real. Ontology is one of those fancy wor

If you know what you're doing you don't need AWS support. We add support when we want to do something new, like MediaTailor + SSAI. At that point we're exploring and trying to get our heads around how things work. Once it wor

Note that they were running Postgres on a 32 CPU box with 256GB of ram. I'm actually surprised that it handled that many connections. The data implies that they have 4000 new connections/sec...but is it 4000 connections handled&#x

Technically, talking to and dealing with someone random instead of hunting their pray is literally impeding their work. Distractions are not serious until they are.
