Netflix engineers run a series of tests and benchmarks to validate the device across multiple dimensions including compatibility of the device with the Netflix SDK, device performance, audio-video playback quality, license handling, encryption and security. Likewise it has very low requirements on the initial amount of training data.

Another big jump, but now it was my job to run benchmarks in the lab, and write white papers that explained the new products to the world, as they were launched. I also learned how marketing worked, and began to build my presentation and training skills as I was sent around the world by Sun to teach workshops and speak at events.

To make data count and to ensure cloud computing is unabated, companies and organizations must have highly available databases. A basic high availability database system provides failover (preferably automatic) from a primary database node to redundant nodes within a cluster. HA is sometimes confused with “fault tolerance.”

I guessed that maybe ChatGPT only knew about v2 since it was trained on open-source code from before September 2021 (its knowledge cutoff date) and v2 was the dominant format before that date. To my surprise, it knew about v3 from its training data and generated a v3 manifest file for me in response.

As an engineer on a browser team, I'm privy to the blow-by-blow of various performance projects, benchmark fire drills, and the ways performance marketing (deeply) impacts engineering priorities. With each team, benchmarks lost are understood as bugs. Chrome has missed several APIs for 3+ years: Storage Access API.
