💻 DEV RESOURCES
Netflix's encoding team has enabled the company to deliver better-looking streams over slower connections and has resulted in 50 percent bandwidth savings for 4K streams. It has contributed to industry-wide efforts, including developing the AV1 video codec and its eventual successor. The company is starting to move into more live streaming, which will necessitate a completely different encoding pipeline than what it uses for VOD. Its encoding team will have to basically start all over to develop encoding that achieves the same bandwidth requirements as VOD but in a faster, real-time way.
llama.ttf is a font file, large language model, and inference engine for that model. Harfbuzz, a font shaping engine, has a Wasm shaper that allows arbitrary code to be used to shape text. This code can be anything - so llama.ttf uses an entire LLM inference engine with trained parameters bundled inside. The result is a font that can generate text locally in any Wasm-enabled Harfbuzz-based application. A video demonstration is available.

Very sad ending for Software Developers.
I kept saying this for 6 years.
In 10 years, 90% of them won't get their former pay grades (inflation-adjusted).
The solution: Become an Indie Maker ASAP.
Even if you fail, you'll earn soft skills to be hirable by corporations later.
