Testing for mishaps you can predict is essential. Chaos engineering is a method of testing distributed software that deliberately introduces failure and faulty scenarios to verify its resilience in the face of random disruptions. Practitioners subject software to a controlled, simulated crisis to test for unstable behavior.

Examples range from online banking to personal entertainment delivery and e-commerce. Application security tests can be used to tell developers when they have introduced vulnerabilities into the application they’re building.

We’re really proud of the improvements we’ve brought to the video experience, but the focus on those makes it easy to overlook the importance of sound , and sound is every bit as important to entertainment as video. Creative choices increasingly tested the limits of our encoding quality. We needed to support these choices better.

Most notably, ChatGPT is tuned to be overly-friendly and overly-agreeable (sounding like a customer service agent) so it will simply go along with whatever you assert.

We're now testing container hosts in production on btrfs, instead of ZFS. Both Xen and KVM have had many performance and security improvements, and workloads can now be tuned to run at almost bare metal speeds (say, a 3% loss or less). I also wrote and published an entertaining SMF manifest that played music.
