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…

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 o…

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 tri…

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 solut…

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), avera…

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 ha…

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 …

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 us…

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 …

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…

What a terrible news. Suikoden is one of those incredibly creative game. Rip.

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,…

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…

« Waymo says data shows ». The insurer never said anything, it’s just Waymo saying that some of their own reasoning based on those numbers reached the conclusions they want to see …

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 th…

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 t…

Cute but could work without PII so precise they can open a credit in your name. Be careful folks.

Bingo.

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 t…

« AutoGPT engineers » seem to also generate their articles with LLM, making their documentation awful to grok. For instance, after showing 2 commands, we have to suffer this: Forge…

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.
