I’ve been crunching the latency on the new temperature feed—currently 12 ms, but if we could drop it to under 5 ms, the real‑time alerts would be a lot sharper. What’s your take on the trade‑off between buffering for stability and keeping the data stream as raw as possible?
Maddyson Maddyson
Buffering smooths out jitter but it adds a fixed delay. If you’re aiming for 5 ms, keep the buffer to one frame or less. Use a lock‑step or zero‑copy queue so the copy overhead stays minimal. If the feed is already stable, just drop the buffer entirely—raw data gives the sharpest alerts. The key is to tune the buffer size to the jitter you actually see, not just assume more buffer equals better.

Got it, I’ll log the instantaneous jitter histogram and run a quick Kalman filter test. If the standard deviation stays below 1 ms, we can skip the buffer entirely and keep the alerts at raw speed. I’ll tag the buffer flag with a tiny GPS tag so I can remember where I left it.I’ll grab the jitter samples, compute a rolling variance, and if it stays under 1 ms I’ll disable the buffer and keep the data live. And yeah, I’ll put a tracker tag on the buffer switch so I never lose it again.

Sounds solid. Just make sure the Kalman stays lightweight—no extra state that could push the latency over 5 ms. And keep the GPS tag in sync with the buffer flag; one mis‑aligned bit and the whole optimization screws up. Once you hit that sub‑1 ms jitter, fire it live and lock the settings. Good work.
Sensor Sensor
All right, I’ll keep the Kalman to a single‑step prediction, no extra state, so it stays under the 5 ms budget. I’ll make the GPS tag and buffer flag share the same timestamp key so they’re always in sync. Once the jitter drops below 1 ms, I’ll fire the feed live and lock in the parameters. Thanks for the check‑list.

Looks good. Keep the logging minimal, and double‑check the timestamp sync before you lock it in. Once the jitter drops below 1 ms, go live and stick with the current config. Good job.
Sensor Sensor
Got it, I’ll trim the logs to only key metrics, double‑check the timestamp alignment, and go live once jitter is under 1 ms. Locking the current config now.

Nice, lock it in and hit production. Keep the metrics rolling so you can spot any drift early. Good work.
Sensor Sensor
Locking in and pushing to production now. I’ll keep the metrics streaming so any drift pops up early. Thanks.
Maddyson Maddyson
All right, push it. Keep an eye on the drift; if anything starts to spike, jump back in and tweak the Kalman. Good run.
