I love how Meta will do anything but prevent phishing and prepaid credit card scams in Whatsapp/Messenger

I love this - it's very similar to what the book Shape Up (https://basecamp.com/shapeup) calls "appetite". I've been using this method even before I came to read this book for years, it works great! Estimates otoh, really don't.

Similarly, my father had a delicate CV issue recently (he's fine now!). We were only able to do the best research on risks, best approaches, etc with the help of LLM deep research. We would be mostly flying blind-trusting the first doctor we talked to.

I also sing "Fade to Black" when I have to write go :D

Hiring for Staff+ level roles across frontend, backend, and DevOps in our LA office:

1. Staff Frontend Engineer: https://fa-exki-saasfaprod1.fa.ocs.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Can...

2. Staff Backend Engineer: https://fa-exki-saasfaprod1.fa.ocs.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Can...

3. Staff DevOps Engineer: https://fa-exki-saasfaprod1.fa.ocs.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Can...

What does real-time mean here? Would it work e.g. in a live stream?

This is fantastic! Interestingly, I was one of the early engineers at Maginatics [1], a company that built exactly this in 2011 - and Netflix was one of our earliest beta customers. We strived to be both SMB3 and POSIX compatible, but leaning into SMB3 semantics. We had some pretty great optimizations that gave almost local disk performance (e.g. using file and directory leases [2], async metadata ops, data and metadata caching, etc). EFS was just coming out at that point (Azure I think also had something similar in the works).

I'll be looking closely in what you're building!
