Anyone found any APIs related to this?

I'd have some other uses for RDMA between Macs.

I found some useful clues here. Looks like it uses the regular InfiniBand RDMA APIs.

FWIW, IPv6 has worked just fine for me since they enabled it (I don't think I had it when I initially got them as my ISP). I also have found them pretty responsive to even technical feedback, but maybe I've just been lucky.

Of course, there was that one time they "upgraded" our building and forgot to re-plug my line to the router, but, oh well..

Overall, this seems like a super niche topic for HN. :)

Same, haven't had any problems with IPv6 via Hyperoptic. He might just be unlucky having some defective equipment upstream.

Another long network debug that stared by enabling IPv6. Keep it off. :)

I'm on Hyperoptic and use IPv6 regularly. Pretty sure it was enabled by default.

I haven't had the same problems this guy has, although I do believe his issues are real.

If you find yourself needing to install Windows 11 for some reason (I'm doing my best to avoid it), you can try this to create a stripped-down Windows 11 installer with most of the crap removed:

Very cool - That's nearly exactly what I need for a research project.

FWIW, there's also the non-free JPEG-XS standard [1] which also claims very low latency [2] and might be a safer choice for commercial projects, given that there is a patent pool around it.

JPEG-XS is great for low latency, but it uses more bandwidth. We're using it for low-latency image streaming for film/TV post production:

We currently use the IntoPIX CUDA encoder/decoder implementation, and SRT for the low-level transport.

You can definitely achieve end-to-end latencies <16ms over decent networks.

We have customers deploying their machines in data centres and using them in their post-production facilities in the centre of town, usually over a 10GbE link. But I've had others using 1GbE links between countries, running at higher compression ratios.

I'd gladly pay for YouTube without ads if I trusted that it would remain ad free, but the track record from various companies on this is not good.
jamesfmilne · 5 months ago
I've been paying for YouTube premium for probably 2 years now. Never had any inserted ads. Only the "this video is sponsored by" stuff, which you can just skip over.

I can't possibly go back to non-Premium YouTube, and if they mess around with Premium I'll probably be moving on from YouTube.

DATs are partly responsible for the huge resurgence in the sale of brand new/unreleased "old school" dance music.

There's a vinyl record label called Deep Jungle [0] which specialises in sourcing unreleased (or very limited pressings originally) 90s jungle/drum&bass straight from the artists - for a fair price.

Each release has a backstory often involving getting boxes of DATs down from the attic! The music is remastered with modern technology.

Demand is high (literally selling out within minutes!) as the label covers both older customers (who went raving in the 90s) and the younger generation exploring older music.

Yeah DAT was big in electronic music.

Everyone in DnB documentaries talks about going to Music House with DATs to get dubplates cut to play in the clubs later on that evening.

This would have been before CD-Rs were commonplace, early 90s.

Just running on FPGA at the moment.

This is still an early-stage project — it's not completed yet, and fabricating a custom chip would involve huge costs.

I'm a solo developer worked on this in my spare time, so FPGA was the most practical way to prove the core concepts and validate the architecture.

Longer term, I definitely see ASIC fabrication as the way to unlock PyXL’s full potential — but only once the use case is clear and the design is a little more mature.

Could be a candidate for Tiny Tapeout in the future.
