Didn’t spacex fix this problem by just adding a ridiculous redundancy of components? i.e the solution might be to install more HW to parallelise ?

I don’t know what airbus uses I only looked into the schematics of commercial avionics like Garmin. I doubted though IMU drift and calibration introduce more error than they can provide in useful signal, old school pressure sensors + gps adjusted manually or automatically for regional pressure settings (pilots get these numbers through radio when they enter a new pressure area) is accurate enough (~1m). I’ll let a real avionics engineer correct me here, I’d be curious if that signal is worth the hassle + I can imagine such tiny SMD sensors ARE the biggest victims of radiation hallucination.

Yet on the flip side, if I’m trying to auto identify my own phone for a login-less private app i tried to build I couldn’t get to reliably generate a consistent fingerprint on safari private mode, it regenerates 50% of the time, I’ve tried several libraries like fingerprintjs and co..

It’s a combined signal system, using pressure based sensors + gps.

what a sweet message. Congratulations!

is it just me or isn't the most important contender in speed, Groq, missing from the comparison ? not sure why does it matter to put azure there, no one uses it for speed.

Loved this. Thank you for putting it together, I could relate to it on a level you couldn’t possibly imagine.

this was an insanely entertaining and informative read that gave me (a corporate outsider) a massive learning on the psychology of these orgs. It felt like I m reading a very informative management book but using pop culture analogies I can follow, thank you so much for the time to put it and looking forward to pt2 about Jim.

Also on another note, are startup founders then in that realm sociopaths or the clueless (with the vcs then being the sopciopaths, employees the ls etc.)? asking for a friend.

omg I'll finally look as cool as my parents think I am when I'm pinging google.com to know how bad the wifi is.

fuck this was a beautiful trip down memory lane thanks for the work putting and narrating this story so well. I remember following the progress half way across the globe and doing the hardware soldering hack on my 1st-gen, then good ol'd Cydia days. Can't process how young these people were and how they knew how to do such low-level investigative coding. I remember back then I was doing .NET c# and thought i'm the boss, humbling.

"72% of the cost increase was due to indirect costs, indicating a large increase in expensive professionals such as engineers and managers"

one of the first very tangible direct "Macro" effects of the rise of non-contributing b.s jobs (Consulting, Life Coaches, Influencers, Day Trading and everything else under the 4 hour week mantra).

I've always wondered what are the big picture scale effects if everyone is trying to retire early and live off real-estate income and here it is: we as a species regress in the single most indicator of progress: energy autonomy cause we can't afford it because our cultural narrative doesn't motivate enough people to specialize in it depriving us from clean energy production and literally destroying the earth we inhibit.

omg Dancarlin is so underrated. His storytelling is insane, king of kings is definitely one of his best.

Economics of scale. my bet is Apple will develop a cluster of M1s and call them M-power-2 to address the 1.5TB RAM workstation market you mentioned. It will be practically an array of M1s (or next gen) together. The way the M1 is used from iPad to iMacs is genius in terms of cost reduction at scale and for an end consumer, who doesnt care who else uses their chip, I get a good $/cpu power bargain. Tim Apple being the supply-chain guy he is, I see him doubling down and scrambling engineers to user more M1s in array to build a stronger core. Maybe an M1-based server rack for AWS?
