Benchmarks in CI: Escaping the Cloud Chaos

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-12-18 00:40:05

Creating a performance gate in a CI environment, preventing significant performance regressions from being deployed has been a long-standing goal of dozens of software teams. But measuring in hosted CI runners is a particularly challenging task, mostly because of noisy neighbors leaking through virtualization layers. Still, it's worth the effort.

Amazon poured more than $1 billion into its streaming series The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, only for it to get a pretty tepid reception. So Amazon appears to be going for a new approach to streaming content: If you think you can do better, prove it. According to a report from Business Insider, the company is funding an AI streaming platform called Showrunner that, in theory, will let people create their own shows using generative AI tools.

When longtime supervisor Robert Markert warned SpaceX leaders that one part of the rocket fairing recovery process could “easily cause serious injury or death,” he alleges he was ignored because “it was the more economical solution,” according to a recently filed lawsuit. A few months later, he was out of the job. Markert is one of two former SpaceX employees who have filed separate wrongful-termination lawsuits, both of which were removed to federal court earlier this month. The two complaints

Harrison Ford Reveals His Preferred Version of ‘Blade Runner’

One of the nerdiest conversations two sci-fi fans can have is about the merits of the different versions of Blade Runner. Which is best? What does one decision mean? How about another? And one person you’d never expect to weigh in on that is Harrison Ford himself. Ford is, of course, the star of Blade Runner along with one or two other major sci-fi films. Even so, he’s not really a sci-fi nerd by any stretch of the imagination. However, in a new interview, he did offer a very specific answer to
