There's differences. e.g. MOSFET vs TRIAC Zooz (popular zwave manufacturer) has some interesting tidbits on their homepage. https://www.support.getzooz.com/kb/article/1103-zen72-vs…

The readme mentioned H20 GPUs. Nvidia's "China compatible" card (41% Fewer Cores & 28% Lower Performance Versus Top Hopper H100 Config)

Some Llama3 400B numbers for the April 15th checkpoint are listed at https://ai.meta.com/blog/meta-llama-3/ Direct image link: https://scontent-atl3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.2365-6/439…

In the past (with h265 / h264 at least), hardware encoding always ended up with visibly worse quality (and often even bigger file sizes) compared to a software encoder like x264/x2…

Last I talked to people about Apple's internal tooling, it was still pretty fragmented between different organizations. I was told about e.g. multiple internal CI/build systems bec…

Did you base your router config on some existing template or did you just built it up from scratch?

There should be a difference between applying critical thinking and being borderline hostile though.

I think one of the problems with large parts of academia is that the system thrives by finding flaws within things other people have created. Criticism is certainly helpful and nec…

Nah, a dedicated "code review team" is not a thing. Often the suggestion featured does suggest a whole team as a review based on code ownership.

> Some companies hire dedicated tech people whose only job is to be oncall, handle alerts, and improve the oncall infrastructure. This role is called ‘DevOps Engineer’ at some comp…

One thing that this article is also kinda missing is the base compensation. Some companies (e.g. FB) are in the top 90th percentile or so of the industry but then don't pay on-call…

The website mentions: "Funkstandards / Frequenzen EnOcean (868 MHz), Low-Power-Funk (2.4 GHz) WLAN (802.11 b/g/n 2,4 GHz)" So that's neither of the two major protocols (zwave and z…

It's 7 years old by now, but there's some literature: https://research.facebook.com/publications/holistic-configur... You can see that there's a common backend ("configerator") tha…

Interesting. That almost sounds like mania/hypomania. (Not saying that it induced a hypomanic episode, just that all of those fit the description)

> A hundered thousand years of safe storage is not part of the calculation of the energy price People always mention that as an argument. I'm pretty sure that we could figure out a…

> without the government subsidizing child care costs Why not though? They'll be tax payers soon and I'm sure we'd get more of them if we made it easier to rear them. There's proba…

> In the USA, it is common for unions to be industry-wide A lot of the ones in Germany are as well. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_trade_unions_in_German...

my two cents as someone that worked in Europe and the US: > time off I get 21 days in the US, but any holiday that falls on a weekend I am guaranteed to get on a weekday. Ultimatel…

A lot of these providers are part of the Open Compute project [0] that Facebook created in 2011 and all the hardware is open source. At least for FB, all the new hardware is part o…

Agreed. I've seen thousands of mac minis in CI farms writing 1+ TB / day (all day, every day) and they're slowly starting to die 4 years in. It's hard to write flash to death with …

It has 4 Cortex-A7 cores with up to 1.2GHz. Given the kind of stuff e.g. OpenWRT usually runs on, I would say it has more than enough power. For simple workloads (e.g. serving stat…

This one has a gigabit port, Orange Pi Zero is just 100 MBit/s (but adds wifi). The Orange Pi also seems to be a bit more expensive (close though).

This is sadly 'just' homekit, but I was pretty impressed with the polish of the solution: https://hochgatterer.me/hkcam/ I agree on the comment for rtsp though. Most solutions have…
