same. substitute VC with upper management and I (corporate dev through and through) became more queasy as I read. product and strategic mismanagement is the real deal regardless of the source of capital
my most mind blowing recent development here was testing the Gemma 4 models at release for vision and image recognition vs some benchmarks I had from using Gemma 3 for the same tasks. Gemma 4 is significantly faster and massively more accurate, to a level where I fundamentally can finally turn off my wifi and run a batch of my photos through the local model and trust the results for the extensive classification that Gemma seems well suited to handle. incredible times for local LLMs
super interesting pseudo IPC channel and at least mildly concerning from a security perspective. saw it on your site first and am shocked there is not a single other comment yet here
was hoping to find at least one “cmon this is easy to avoid with X thing in the kernel/OS” info nugget dropped
I'm not sure how much of a security concern this one is, at least for the kinds of things I care about with respect to containers.
I want my containers to be able to run work without other containers spying on them (already hard thanks to timing attacks).
This IPC channel only works if both containers are collaborating together. I don't think you can use it to spy on my container if my container isn't actively participating.
Agreed that this is not a critical problem, and the cooperative side channel can be useful in otherwise uncooperative environments.
The article does mention wanting to coordinate across multiple identical processes running on the same node in a wide variety of environments as the motivator.
two well-balanced takes making me think I should embrace the fun parts of this design and worry less about the risks! it’s a pretty cool idea and impressive it works
really impressed with this. the author discusses on Reddit how they built it with Unity which I think is super cool and a really good use case for a game engine
You are correct, C# straddles that line better than any other language right now imo thanks to the APIs you linked. There was a good write up about this Rust vs C# Span comparison on HN a few weeks ago but the link escapes me
Well five is about the amount of sales people I remember joining an absolutely awful call with them a few years ago, so that’s my guess (edit: lol at getting downvoted for relaying an actual experience that happened. been using Vagrant since the original hobo logo circa 2012-2013 and have always been a HC fan, get off your high horse)
Cool post. Wonder if it would have helped to take a look at the MIT distributed systems course on the web and YouTube - one of the projects is exactly this (Go Raft implementation)
