What do you find lacking in LangSmith?

I have been using it since the week it was in private beta, albeit a lot less recently, and thought it was good, though with some confusing UX and a handful of bugs.
You know shit's bad when even their status page is down.
Frankly, I don't buy this explanation - technically or logically both from a devops,and systems architecture level - There is no way in hell a company like Meta is pushing database design changes this significant to production? We all know how many times these database architecture changes get run in staging,then even production subsets before rolling out to production at large.

Should we assume the teams working to ensure Business Continuity & Applications Resiliency redundancies feel asleep at the wheel?

Also, to assume that no down or outage messaging go out during a fairly routine maintenance based outage?

I call BS

Lol I can't find scenario where this happens, at this scale at a company of Meta's scale
Yeah that's exactly what I was thinking about (and thought I wrote, but the downvotes say otherwise).

If your steering assist conks out just as you're trying to turn at slow speed you could end up heading into oncoming traffic, at an angle at least.

It's actually pretty dangerous, good thing you don't drive it any more.

There is no consistent scale on that graph, so any local maxima of reports received would look similar to any other.
Anyone managed to get it working for AMD iGPU (APU) yet? I got the vega archi, still no luck running LLMs with either ZLUDA or ROCm backend.
Is private equity worth it?
Beyond unbelievable that going on an hour later, they're still showing "incorrect password" errors. How many hundreds of millions of people have wasted time frantically trying (in vain) to reset their passwords and pointlessly freaking out that their account might be compromised? What a bunch of careless, incompetent excuses for engineers.
Well if everything down maybe isn't problem at services itself but at the DNS side?
Seems like even the status page doesn't work ... i'd say typical for this type of situations :D :D :D
I think the premise is wrong. ChatGPT has supercharged my understanding of Java by exposing me to so many different parts of the language and development patterns that I didn’t know before because it literally knows ALL of Java. If you look at the code it generates in order to check it for errors and understand what it has given you, you’ll be constantly learning about the language.
Was curious why no mention was made of their funding rounds' sizes and valuations so I hit the Google. Couldn't find the exact rounds, but they raised over $416m and sold for $465m. That's a fail, and you wouldn't expect the founders to get much in any case.

If you raised $415k to start a restaurant, ran it for a few years at a loss, then sold it for $465k, you wouldn't expect to pocket anything. Adding a few zeroes and calling it a tech company wouldn't change that.

I don't think the story really necessitates liquidation preferences.

3 Red Sea data cables cut as Houthis launch more attacks in the vital waterway
Sure. But if millions of evolved brains are "seeing the same pattern", they will behave as such, and so the meaning of that otherwise random noise in fact becomes something material.
> I don't know

Exactly. And this doesn't surprise me.

The law states: if you collect more data than is strictly required for your site[1] to function and/or send user data to third parties, you have to:

- tell the users about it

- let the users to opt out, where opt out must be as easy as opt in

- if the users opt out, the site[1] must continue working

So yes, that site does send some extra data to third-parties, and informs the user about it. And lets the user know about it. IMO it shouldn't use third-party services, but oh well.

These days it's a source of my constant amazement that 8 years after its publication the people who complain about GDPR the most have not had even the tiniest attempt to read anything about it or understand anything about it.

[1] I simplified this to sites. GDPR is General Data Protection Regulation. All this equally applies to sites, apps, offline businesses, governments etc. To cookies, local storage, offline paper documents, tape records, cloud storage etc.

8 years. The law has been around for 8 years. It has been enforced for 6. It takes about half an hour to read the most relevant parts of it (chapters 1—5). An hour if you're not too familiar with legalese. And yet... "I don't know".
Very cool, I thing in North America this would be impossible or at least very uncomfortable.
I don't think that anyone but Elon ever means X.
How many other people here just assumed they had been banned for some arbitrary, uncontestable reason? I just use instagram to post hiking photos...
> Unlikely, the FAQ on the ordering page explicitly states that the Bahncard 100 can be used for "any number of trips"

They can change that though (if there's a material cost impact to them of this). They could just say from next year that you're capped at N journeys per month or something, where N is a very large number for anyone other than someone trying to live on trains.
Could be an outage in the auth service itself
There is some work with zero shot (decoder only) time series predictions by google and an open source variant. Curious to see how these approaches stack up as they are explored.
Looking at the data if you include laptops that doesn't really seem to be the case - more holding steady / rising a bit https://www.gartner.com/smarterwithgartner/pc-sales-bottomin...

Looking around the Pret where I am I see eight people using laptops and two on phones.

If by desktop you mean something stuck on a desk then yeah everyone has laptops.

I'm wondering about his typical daily routine as spending almost a whole day seated even in a comfier variety of train seats would make my everything hurt like hell. I know, I've done it.

I mean, is it possible to keep some sort of a healthy movement regimen like this?

Cool otherwise, if I were 20 years younger, single, and had the kind of money to do it, I'd try at least a vacation like this.

Another practical question is how would you keep your gear from getting stolen?
I don't really think this was in AMD's best interest when you think about it strategically. Unless it were production-grade and legally tested, it's basically a tool that would enable developers to build applications using AMD and then deploy on NV. Perhaps a short term win on the consumer card side, but a long term foot-gun that would only serve to continually entrench NV in the datacenter.

I have also noticed that the biggest proponents in my organisation are those that don’t code or code very little!

Personally, as I have used the product more I have found it more useful especially with boilerplate type of code - especially unit tests.
I wonder if that would be the case for graph based models too
From my experience you'll receive a partial refund - and in some instances like inexplicable overspending, etc. - you won't receive anything. This may be an exception given a full sitewide outage, though
Just for curiosity's sake, what good arguments for zero-defaults exist?
I don’t buy it either! Something’s fishy…
I think it's correctly rated. There are other activities which have the benefits you stated, but spark more joy in humans, such as piano-playing.

I'm glad that people juggle, but I'm also glad that more people play piano.

Well, maybe - if the source of the shadow keeps getting more and more powerful, it will eventually turn you into a permanent shadow.
I do remember Mango! I didn't actually try it out, but we had experimented with Ethereum and IPFS in the past, and it wasn't a great fit for a code collab platform due to performance and cost.
But there's something off here. I wouldn't expecting to be shown as logged out when the services are down. I'd expect calls to fail with something aka 500 and an error showing "something happen edited on our side". Not all the apps going haywire.
You know what they say, a bunch of bad apples spoils the few.
In what way have models gotten better for tabular data? Can't think of any new technique since 2022.
Yeah so much for graceful feature degradation.
That’s definitely how VCs work, but startup has a broader meaning than that. Any young business that is still figuring itself out is a startup, even bootstrapped “lifestyle” businesses.

Distributing the training data also opens up vectors of attack. Poisoning or biasing the dataset distributed to the computer needs to be guarded against... but I don't think that's actually possible in a distributed model (in principal?). If the compute is happing off server: then trust is required (which is not {efficiently} enforceable?).
Yea I thought too that core of this is not at the services itself but at thr network somewhere.
It will probably suck. These models aren’t quite good enough for most tasks (other than toy fun exploration). They’re close in the sense that you can get there with a lot of work and dice rolling. But I would be pessimistic about a smaller model actually getting you where you want.
"Remember what I wrote about electrical plugs? The EU is pro-business – often criticised for being essentially a pro-business entity – and not in favour of regulation for regulation’s sake."

Complete nonsense, where is the competitor to Apple in Europe? Google? Meta? SpaceX? Microsoft? Overregulation is completely destroying the market in which the whole power is consolidated to a few big monopolistic players backed, and liked by the EU. They are completely suffocating small, and medium businesses.

Brussels was on fire just the last week if you haven't seen the news, farmers from all over Europe are protesting, because they are being suffocated with regulation to the point they need to throw their productions on the streets, and file for bankruptcy.

I also find pretty funny the USB-C standardization praise as some sort of genius move by the EU bureaucrats, especially since Apple in 2015 decided that USB-C is the future and the whole industry followed.

A single market is a totalitarian market it has nothing to do with free trade.
How is money even being spent if users aren't viewing the ads?
The EU is the continuation of the efforts at integration started in the 1950s.

It took the loss of the colonies to really cement the future economic integration.

The idea that economic integration prevents war has been fairly well shattered by Russia's warmongering.

There are often reasons cited that sound good to the public, but these are not necessarily the same as the true reasons that really motivate the actions of nations and individuals. That's actually the entire idea behind markets: simply asking people what they want or having them vote is not a substitute for putting their actual material interests into play by spending money in a market.

The idea of "less or no war" is a good sell, but "we need to keep prosperity after giving up our colonies" is a material interest that comes down to the basic need to eat.
sounds delicious... what's the recipe?
It’s not direct disruption.

Grassroots organizers use FB and messenger and Insta for “get out the vote” communications. People use these services to goad their friends to go and vote. People use FB as a search engine to identify their polling place.

As someone living in the EU, I'm well aware of the EU's failings, but also of the successes, and I think we don't celebrate them enough.

Some things I really like:

* I can travel in a wide area with just my ID card (and practically even without it), no visa or passports required

* sending packages by mail is really easy and cheap compared to non-EU countries

* free mobile data roaming. Not such a big deal for me (but very convenient), but I have friends that travel a lot or are at home in more than one country, for them it's huge

* no need to exchange currencies when visiting lots of places (though not all EU countries)

* my health insurance mostly works in the other EU countries as well

* pretty strong consumer protection laws

* We've been living in peace for quite a few decades now, awesome! (And that's not how it used to be in central Europe, historically)

Note that national politicians often take credit for things mandated by EU, and put all the blame on the EU, so that kinda skews the public discords more negative than it should be.

Just one more data point: only one country has left the EU so far, and it seems they've come to regret it, mostly. Lots of countries have joined the EU since its formation, with more in the pipeline. Would that be the case if negatives outweighed the positives?
I have been driving an ID.4 for almost three years by now. I consider much of what others criticize here in terms of UI, touch-sensitive buttons etc. to be „not great“ either but it did work for me. I didn’t really care to be honest.

What did not work for me was the re-charging experience on longer trips. I do not want to „subscribe“ to anything just to recharge my car in a reasonable amount of time. But even with a hypercharger it still takes way too long and without the „right“ subscription you feel like they steal your money from you. This is the worst from my POV when it comes to EVs, this is where they felt like inferior technology and business model to me as a consumer. Guess what, even though I was always a fan of EVs and hybrids (even drove three different models of Toyota Prius prior to my ID.4) my next car will be a traditional one (Hyundai Tucson to be precise).
Much better defense if someone accuses you of racism - you still have not shown that I am wrong.

I wonder if this is somehow related with meta's down.
Works well. Today I was working with how Rail's works with BigDecimals, so (knowing the answer) I asked:

"When using "as_json" in a controller to return the JSON of a model, how are BigDecimal's encoded?"

Answer: "When using as_json in a controller to return the JSON of a model, BigDecimal values are encoded as strings. This behavior is defined in the active_support/core_ext/object/json.rb file, specifically in the BigDecimal class extension for JSON encoding. The rationale behind this approach is that most..." which is exactly the case as I learnt through various PR's, Issues and code review.

This would have saved me about 30mins of work. I wonder if it takes into account the metadata, such as authors, related comments, issues and PRs?
Hydrogen powered cars are so full of problems that they won't happen anywhere.

Nowadays electric cars are a visible minority almost everywhere on the planet. People seriously discuss the charging infrastructure. And there are many companies seriously selling those cars, a few even specialized only on the electric power-train that have no model at all immediately moved by combustion (but AFAIK, only Tesla doesn't do hybrids).

Electric cars are here to stay. Tesla may have made some bad decisions, but they moved the entire political framework.
Scary idea but could indeed be. Who let the zombies out!

Right? I know I was like "oh, I haven't typed in my FB password in eons... maybe I changed it at some point and forgot? But if I change it what happens to all related services, is it going to log out my kids' Messenger Kids devices? Those are such a pain to log in. Should I change my password or not? What do I do?"

Then I saw the news that it was an outage.
If it ever became a reliable option Nvidia would just send a cease and desist and then sue. It's a blind alley as a serious solution.

It makes sense in that context.

This is true for open-source but not as much for closed-source as in this case.

Also, how does it ever help anyone to have the details released? It only helps the researchers for PR and bad actors, never the users who need to apply the patch (and often need some time to, one can't just upgrade something out of nowhere in less than 24 hours).
I find it remarkable that Typepad, my blog host, not only isn't down but also is MUCH FASTER than its usual slothlike, approximately 5 seconds response time.

I love mustard rather dearly, especially one that is sharp and piquant, horseradish mustards are some of my favorite, although you can't go wrong with a good sweet-hot either. At any rate, I just have to say that prepared mustard is an excellent base for making marinades and rubs as well. If you ever want to make a very simple rub for nearly any cut of meat that is intended for roasting or braising, just mix equal parts molasses and yellow prepared mustard (I just use French's) with 1 tablespoon of kosher salt and 1 tablespoon of freshly ground black pepper for every 3 tablespoons of molasses/mustard, and 1 shallot and 2 cloves of garlic finely minced for each 3 tablespoons of molasses/mustard. Whisk together well and spread on, let rest to wet brine for at least 1 hour prior to cooking. You don't need a lot, and it helps to bind the salt and pepper in the meat as does the vinegar help to break down the exterior of the meat to make it more tender, it goes very well on a roast. Score the fat with a sharp knife before applying to help it penetrate deeper. I just braised a brisket flat in my dutch oven this weekend this way, using this as a rub/marinade and cooked down two yellow onions with 1 cup of beef bone broth to make a braise liquid. It was delightful, and the drippings made a good strong gravy.

Maybe the concept of homework that isn't interesting enough for them to want to solve it on their own should be thrown out then? Trying to force someone to learn something never works.

At least I personally learn the most when there's some cool thing I want to do and delve into a rabbit hole figuring it out, there is basically nothing that can stop me experimenting and reading stuff to understand what's happening then, and I'll use all of the tools I can to speed up that process, whether it's search engines, reading research papers, or messing with the AI and trying to make sense of its output.

Having the AI generate mostly-functioning code is often a great first step towards having something to mess around with before going deeper.

Unless it's an outage in their ability to log into their own servers, they should be able to swap out the login page with a static HTML page explaining the outage. Maybe a 503 status code.

As I understand it, the problem is not so much that they have been damaged, but rather that they have been damaged inside the combat zone and so repair craft are not likely to enter the area, thus the damage will remain.

Some screen time is ok, but this can be a slippery slope.

Screen time for your child might buy you some free time, but is not a replacement for real interaction.

In 20, 30, 40 years I guarantee you will give anything to be able to go back and spend more time with your young child.

Children are not distractions from important work, they ARE the important work.
