This whole thing would have been much better if they’d positioned it as a work and personal entertainment machine, similar to a bunch of monitors with a Mac mini, and replacing iPads or single-viewer TVs. By trying to show interactions with

Way earlier than that. There's two ways I think about code: 1. The code I write is a response to what I currently understand of problem I currently have, using my current understanding of current tools. Expertise improves how big the &

It was a mistake, a debugging line that made it to prod.

Yeah, this seems like more of a problem than vague statements about AGI. We're still in the scope of ML - ChatGPT can't play chess, for example, and a self driving model can't write Haiku. An AGI would be able to do all of th

This sounds backwards. Inside the atmosphere is a shitty place to observe from, and the cheap launch capacity here can throw up hundreds of Hubbles and James Webbs. We could also fit optics and radar on the Starlink constellations. The idea

Out of curiosity, what happens when you dump wood in the deep ocean? Does the wood breakdown and does the carbon come back up as CO2 in the atmosphere?

I don’t think there’s any specs to certify against for hypervisors. Think other AWS offerings are FIPS certified, like the CloudHSM, but Enclaves is a different system and use case.

by sudhirj 4y ago
I’ll check out the TPM, but our big draw with the Enclave system is being able to run general purpose code (Python / Go) inside a secure isolated environment. The earlier system we had was SEE machine on a HSM and required a special co

Not right now, no. From what I've seen from our previous suppliers (HSMs from Thales) no one will take on liability (if that's what you mean). The trust instead relies on the FIPS-140 certification process - certified devices are

Trust in AWS and Nitro HyperVisor system is taken for granted here, if that’s what you mean. We don’t necessarily examine AWS’s code or hardware, we’ll just have to take their word for it. Which is what we and our customers do already, when

My team and I are deploying a zero trust independently verifiable secret forwarding system on AWS Nitro Enclave, please ask me anything. The idea is basic secret forwarding - you want to send a secret to many destinations, but find it too c

I think there’s a bunch of gateways available already. The example use case for this seems to be mounting a 10 petabyte “hard drive” with CSVs to a reporting machine.

That comparison seems unfair... AWS has a habit of launching early and iterating, and they almost never shut stuff down. In this case it's a filesystem implementation of a HTTP API, so the capabilities reflect the main API. Deciding to

Using a JIT seems different from creating a JIT, though, and doesn't seem to require compiler engineers. From what I understand this converts Ruby code directly into C object code? Or does it transpile to C and then compile it? Either

Good point. I've had discussions with friends about things like the Einstein-Slizard refrigeration and efficiency keeps coming up, and it's always a struggle to point out that we're trying to do things in an environment where

Not according to the article, the values returned were within the realm of possibility, but wrong. Giving out zeroes might have actually been fine, it’s easy enough to realise there’s a problem if you see your plane weighs 0 pounds.

> Peyton added that even though the update to the DynamicSource software had been tested over an extended period, the bug was missed because it only presented when many aircraft at the same time were using the system. That seems horribly

That seems much more convincing, that intelligent life evolves easy and often enough, but the level of intelligence required to observe or signal other planets is completely unnecessary for survival, so there’s no pressure to evolve to that

If we stop looking at life as some great mystical thing, and look at it as a more mechanical expression of self replicating molecules, it’s quite likely to be all over the place. Even “intelligence” doesn’t seem to be that uncommon, even he

Wait so does energy have mass? Assuming the total amount of mass in the universe is the same, and black holes absorb mass and then slowly evaporate into energy with Hawking radiation, does the total mass in the universe keep changing?

What's the PPD required for a "Retina" display (one at which individual pixels are no longer distinguishable)? Is that 62 or some other value?

Yeah, he's using the words interchangeably in the interview. Talking a lot about "marketing" with Facebook ads.
116.
by sudhirj 4y ago
He explains that they do marketing later on the interview, and how they do it. A better way to explain this would be that his brands are not marketing-driven. They do marketing only after projects achieve product-market-fit.

This is a bit reductionist. The price stands on a foundation of quality. You can build something excellent and charge 100x what it took to make it, but you can't do that with shitty product.

I use schema for everything relational, and put everything else (all the nice-to-know data) in JSONB. Works really well. Stacks like Rails lean into this with `store_accessor` which lets you designate a JSON column as storage for arbitrary

A little bit, but hey, they're not hiding anything. Everyone is allowed to toot their own horn. I'd more pissed if this was some paid PR piece hidden in a newspaper.
