While I agree with the hidden statement of the utility in online reinforcement learning here, it should be pointed out that for some snapshot of a system, which may have already been trained with a large amount of data - the structure of the learned space and the inferences within it seem like a reasonable definition for 'understanding'.

I don't know many people that would suggest that knowing about ones family structure, such as their mom/dad/uncle, and how their history relates to them, is required to be _completely reconstructed_ every time they interact with their environment somehow from first principles.

Online reinforcement learning can have large merits without resorting to stating it's required for learning. Just as self awareness can occur independently of consciousness can occur independently of intelligence is independent of empathy and so on. They are all different, and having one component doesn't mean anything about the rest.
Yeaa. The YouTube video where andrej karpathi setup chatgpt from the scratch. Lookworthy.

I found power metal because I was looking for a more positive sub-genre of metal. What I was listening to before often had ahrimanic themes - death, violence, satanism etc.
My manager talks the talk about how every developer in the team should be able to do all tasks. Why are we waiting for the database administrator guy to do the SQL part instead of doing it ourselves and yet I have a feeling he is not even a developer at all. At least my skip clearly has some development experience and even some self awareness that what used to be "best practices" then are now known to be bad now but at least I feel like he understands the general process. This whole idea of anyone can work on any ticket but we won't give them any time to review everyone else's changes is what grinds my gears.

I should not have to "manage up". Management should just do its job.
Impressive work. I believe Encyclopaedia Metallum[0] would be a better source for the corpus, though the noise rate would be higher as there are many one-song/single/demo album bands, along with bands making music in multiple genres in different eras in their lifetime.

I wonder whether bands are more consistent in style of play over their lifetime, as compared to lyrics or other 'metrics'. It's probably easy to find all types of variance/consistency.

My hunch would be that the more specific and entrenched a genre is, the closer these bands stick to their styles (and lyrics).

The positive ones (use cases) are usually pretty straightforward. It's once you get to failures like "how does the whole system recover if one packet, 3 steps into a transaction is corrupted". If the system is complex enough, that warrants a whole internal fault injection framework and can take a really long time to make it reliable and usable.

To be fair most projects don't care beyond "rollback the database and maybe display a 5xx error or something". But some do. Anyway, use cases are fine. It's the failures / edge cases that cause pain.

This is such a mischaracterization of the Swedish healthcare system, which is much more a lottery than your 'personal experience' suggests.

I have my own experience of a service that is plagued by delays, inefficiency and outright dystopian suffering alongside other people who have had fast and efficient help.

It's very much the luck of the draw - although sometimes I get the impression that social standing and even 'blondeness quotient' may help to get better care.

The accidental crap can go a long way. I recall someone using a superscript ‘O’ as a degrees symbol in a medical report. This then got converted to a non—superscript character and rather changed the meaning. Extra unhelpful was that they wrote the word ‘degrees’ after the attempt at the symbol too.
Great post, I really like the approach of adding additional context for WAL CDC. I imagine this could be implemented with something like Hasura pretty easily (you can access hasura session data in the db).

I use both the trigger + audit table approaches in my sass (for user-facing activity feeds) and subscribe to CDC WAL changes for dealing with callback-like logic (i.e., send registration email, clear cache).

I'm not a fan of the pg_notify approach due to requirement of adding triggers (performance penalty) and the 8k character limit per column (you will lose data as it will splice off anything larger than that).

Application-level tracking or callbacks makes the stack dependent on the application for data integrity, I'd rather the database be the source of truth on all things data. Especially in the age of microservices.

For something turn-key, Bemi looks like a really good option - especially if you need persistence of the changes!

Yes, it does suck sometimes, but for UI then your frontend framework should work all the same 99% of the time. If your app is related to audio/video playback or you want to use newer features of Web standard such as webGPU, then it will be trickier.

I can offer you -fsanitize=undefined -fsanitize-trap=undefined, which you'd need to put in your configuration for release builds, presumably you have other flags in your build system (like -O2) already.

It's possible that a program terminating based on attacker influenced values could be used as a channel to leak confidential data to the attacker, so I'd suggest that developers decide whether to use this on a case-by-case basis. (Maybe it should default to on, but we'd need user education so people who are building sensitive systems know they need to turn it off.)
I listen to Power Metal only because it is the closest genre to classical Heavy Metal (Iron Maiden, Ozzy Osbourne,Motörhead, Judas Priest) and almost no band sings classical Heavy Metal anymore.
> almost no band sings classical Heavy Metal anymore.

That’s just not true, at all. Just look for the "trad[itional]" genre. I don’t enjoy it, but there are a lot of releases there.

edit: Or just combine heavy metal and either hard rock or thrash on something like RYM, that should also give you a lot of those. Here’s Hard Rock + Heavy Metal for the 2020s: https://rateyourmusic.com/charts/top/album/2020s/g:all,hard%...

> Searchformer [...] solves previously unseen Sokoban puzzles 93.7% of the time, while using up to 26.8% fewer search steps than standard A∗ search ... [and] significantly outperforms baselines that predict the optimal plan directly with a 5-10× smaller model size and a 10× smaller training dataset.

So this can be interpreted as a generic statement to say there might be progress during learning iterations (compared to its own arbitrary first iteration baseline). I think it's important to not getting carried away and assume the recent immense progress in generative AI is just easily repeated for any other AI task. There's also quantum computing having been advertised for over a decade now for a break through in planning and optimization efficiency.

> We also demonstrate how Searchformer scales to larger and more complex decision making tasks like Sokoban with improved percentage of solved tasks and shortened search dynamics.

Worth mentioning that Sokoban is nowhere near a complex decision making task let alone state of the art in an academic or commercial planning/optimization context.

> A∗'s search dynamics are expressed as a token sequence outlining when task states are added and removed [...] during symbolic planning.

Go ahead and compare against eg. Quantum Prolog's readily available container planning problem and solutions [1] then to generate exactly that in the browser - a plan with symbolic actions to perform - or alternatively, a classic Graphplan or CLIPS planning competition problem.

When git came out it was (arguably) miles better than SVN and others. It was a big leap from centralized to decentralized version control.

Git to Pijul is a much smaller change, it is much more difficult to justify.

And then there is the fact that popular CI solutions are tied to GitHub and GitLab which increases the friction significantly.
In The Netherlands we suddenly have too much power because a lot of houses and buildings now generate solar power. That's why there is a need to reconduct the net with high temperature cables.

But the main problem is planning and time. It will take almost 8 years to finish the reconducting transition while the energy transition is aleady taking place.

Reconductoring is not always easy. On a heavy loaded net you need to be careful to keep redundancy.
Dropping in with a brief note that you should please, for the love of god, not name your product after the plural of a common noun. “Shoes is a popular framework” makes my brain hurt.

Nowadays is there any reason why you would do something like this instead of standing up a local devserver and delivering the gui via HTML?

There's a lot of nonsensical babble out there from people who have minimal technical insight - both on the sceptic and on the enthusiast side of AI.

It really wasn't clear for the longest time how these models generate things so well. Articles like this one are still rare and comparatively new. And they certainly haven't been around when less informed enthusiasts where already heralding AGI.

On the other hand, we have accrued quite a bit of evidence by now that these models do far more than glue together training data. But there are still sceptics out there who spread this sort misinformation.

Perhaps - convention is a powerful thing. I am very confident that any future byte would be a power of two, but I'm not sure that 8 will remain ascendant. A 32-bit byte might be practical - even english language text is commonly no longer composed of 8-bit characters, so why bother with 8-bit addressing, especially when the majority of the world needs more than 8 bits per character? Memory is cheap, and a little bit of "wasted" space could reduce errors and simplify text handling.

Only tangentially related; but tree-sitter, lsp and friends are actually some of the most exciting developments for lisp programmers because we are finally seeing a model where Emacs and IDE support for lisp can properly decouple. One of the in-practice problems I've seen a lot of in Clojure is that people aren't sure how to get a REPL set up and all the local experts are using Emacs. Which is lovely but "you'll need to learn Emacs for me to be able to set you up!" is not exactly the battle cry of easy adoption.
Just a warning to anyone who read this comment, the show (in later seasons) gets incredibly dark, existential, and depressing, to the point where I couldn't watch it anymore as it made me both anxious and depressed.

Anyone prone to anxiety or depression or sad thoughts in general should probably avoid, it's really that depressing, and I can imagine it making suicidal people even more suicidal.
Yeah if you look at products that went from good to bad and started getting good again, it’s almost always due to competitors starting to have an impact.

People will disagree with me but Jira is getting a lot better lately and I’m convinced it’s due to competition that popped up because Jira sucked so much.

The challenge is going back to a mode of building a good product again. Not only do you have to notice that you’re losing and be willing to invest again, you have to kick out all the extractors and convince the craftspeople to come work on a product that they all think is a piece of shit.
I couldn't finish watching the show, it was just too depressing and dark for me to the extent that it made me personally more anxious and depressed.

I highly reccomend using a service like privacy.com for online subscriptions. You can generate a separate card for each service and cancel them on command whenever you want to quit.

It's refreshing not having to worry about a service charging for another month due to some dark pattern or bug when you try to cancel.

For the past month I've been getting emails that chegg has been repeatedly trying to charge the card I deactivated, feels nice never having to worry about one of them going through.
In conclusion, let's craft impactful notes, whether written or unwritten. Delve deeper into the topics you're learning and summarizing.
FAANGs just stopped being interesting for me at 26. The realisation dawned that life is really not that long and it really doesn't matter how good you are. Before that it was a race to learn as much as possible with every waking moment. Doing that for years and years until you're given the opportunity to keep doing it for even more became incredibly boring. It's like it's not enough that you aim to be slave but you need to be the best slave and even then we can let you go if god forbid your health gets bad.

I just don't care anymore, don't give a rat's ass about tRPC.
Very cool project! It is fascinating to see that sensor nodes can be time synchronized so well, using standard technology. That is a key precondition here. Localization is still quite tricky over long distances though, especially due to multi-path propagation, reflections, non-homogeneous propagation conditions from wind, inversion etc.

We did some work on noise monitoring of shooting ranges / explosive training facilities, using machine learning to track sound events.
This was focused on a simpler problem formulation than full localization; "did the impulsive sound event come from A) known site or B) elsewhere?". But as a precondition one also needs to solve "was there an impulsive sound event consistent with gunshot/explosion". Which in the 24/7 monitoring scenario is non-trivial, keeping the false positive rate down.
