Great question! Generally the neural network used for the router takes maybe ~20ms during inference. When deployed on prem, in your own cloud environment, then this is the only latecy. When using the public endpoints with our own intermediate server, it might add ~150ms to the time-to-first-token, but inter-token-latency is not affected.

We generally see the router being useful when the LLM application is being scaled, and cost and speed start to matter a lot. However, in some cases the output quality actually improved, as we're able to squeeze the best of GPT4 and Claude etc.

Long-term plan for profitability would come from some future version of the router, where we save the user time and money, and then charge some overhead for the router, but with the user still paying less than they would be with a single endpoint. Hopefully that makes sense?

Happy to answer any other questions!

Not having to keep a running tally of items going in the cart to make sure you don’t overdraft is amazing.

Knowing that whatever you put in, you’ve definitely got enough for it, is such a relief (once you break the habit). Maybe favor things on sale, sure, but no going “oh I can’t get a second package of chicken”.

Pluck
by Murat

A math-based string simulator.

Download on Apple App Store for $1.99
[Image of Apple App Store download button]

- It's fun to have on iPad with multitouch, especially for kids (even 1 year olds).
- Support this project

Both the audio and visuals are generated using the same math, rendered at different speeds so the eye can see.

No tricks or audio files are used: everything is calculated from raw sine waves, with a theory of how energy is released in a pluck.
- The vibrations are modeled based on how far down the string you pluck from.
- The velocity of midi notes are mapped to both pluck position, as well as pluck strength.

This YouTube video of a slow motion string pluck proves that our simulated result is very close to reality.
[Embedded YouTube video of slow motion pluck]

Technical details:
- Each string is simulated with 12 overtones (integer multiples of the note frequency)
- To calculate amplitude of each overtone, we take the Fourier transform of the plucked string at the time the pick is released
- Higher frequency overtones decay faster than lower frequency overtones
- 72 strings x 12 overtones x 44,100 samples per second = 52,920,000 calculations per second
- Audio buffer of 1024 samples are sent to the GPU to compute in parallel on each tick

There are several directions I can take this project from here:
1. Turn it into an interactive educational tool to teach physics of sound, timbre & music.
2. Turn it into a music learning tool for kids where songs are pre-made as chords that the user can pluck to learn rhythm and feel.
3. Turn it into an interactive art installation
4. Turn it into a game where i.e. a bouncing ball plucks the strings & you try to match the melody

If you are interested in any of the above, please get in touch at murat@ayfer.net or @moyfer.

Teslas on the road today all look like they have a stale design compared to new offerings from other manufacturers. I think it’s a fair point even if they are continuously updating the internals.
Everyone who has ever worked on ad-tech has made the world a worse place to live.
I have to admit, several years ago, a colleague of mine advised me if not to try Clojure but at least to read the "History of Clojure": https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/3386321, which I never did. But one day I decided to watch Rich Hickey - Greatest Hits https://changelog.com/posts/rich-hickeys-greatest-hits... I then read the "History of Clojure", and then jumped into learning it.
This is probably one of the most fun languages to build with and one of the most beautiful ones. If not syntax-wise, rather in a way it allows you to express your thoughts via good design and composition that so nicely tickles your brain. If you are still searching for that one shiny tool, and none of them clicks, maybe try Clojure. It's one of the most concise and yet powerful languages I've seen.
But you trust governments to have that morality?
You guys can make all the baloney claims about this you want.

The day that Haskell stops being 10x slower than languages providing mutable data is the day we can start to seriously entertain your claims.
Where are the tech people using it? I've mostly only found bsky employees and politics doomscrollers...
> you shouldn't expect privacy on public or work computers. For all you know, they could already be doing this.

It might be something I should expect, but I'd still slap my laptop over the head of my superiors if I found out that there was scren recording on employee computers. Regardless of whether it's legal, and regardless of whether I signed a form saying I understood that this was within their right. Any manager or corporate IT person who doesn't understand that actually implementing that would mean severe risk of being slapped in the head with laptops is clincally insane.

I agree there shouldn't be much privacy outrage for this particular windows feature so long as this is a local-only feature and I can disable it.
How is it decentralized? It's running from and through Facebook servers.
Someone I know runs https://docsbot.ai/ and that seems like maybe what you're talking about?
> You really think Musk himself designed the rockets, robots and brain chips?

You really think any of that would have been possible without him? What EV company is as successful as Tesla? How many rockets does the second most successful company launch every year?
at least among the people I follow, there aren't really very many tech people. It's pretty much friendly enough for anyone to use imo.

I mean, sure if you want to run a PDS or labeller, that's basically technical folks only at this point, but I've seen non-technical people put together feeds, choose which labellers they want to pay attention to, etc.

but for just skeeting and BMing, it's user friendly
The diagram in the article described the alternate design. Both wires connected to the same terminal block. It was redundant ground screws for the terminal block that was still shared between the two systems.
I assume you might be able to build some sort of word or concept embeddings? You should be able to compress a text into its concepts, and when you decompress it the text itself might be different but shohld retain the same meaning.
fwiw, I found this high value. I'm currently in the space of "conceptually, what do I need to think about in this space", and this was a great set of notes for me.

Fantastic post highlighting difference in mindset towards taking risk and starting companies in UK vs US
It's notable that several countries with very strong unions have no minimum wage because there's no feeling of need. Norway, for example, has less regulation of the labour market in this respect than the US (but much more in other areas) in large part because the unions have been strong enough to push through higher salaries without it.

But changing that in the US would be an incredibly long slog.
I use Helix [0] myself, which has tree-sitter based commands for moving + selecting up/down/forward/back by expressions. These are built-in and require no configuration.

It's surprisingly excellent! Sure, the "language" of paredit features more powerful text manipulation that just simple movement... but combined with the new "jumping" in the latest Helix release [1], it makes for a very impressive keyboard-based navigation system.

Yep, only in the case of runs of 1s - since that’s the predominant case when typing.

Runs with other difference values show up when typing in multi-cursor mode in vscode and other editors, but I haven’t optimised my data structure for that use case.
Yet another reason why I'm not a fan of modern cars. The trend is going against the consumer. I recently had to spend $1200 to replace a headlight because my car was designed so that it's impossible to perform such a simple repair without dropping the front end, using custom equipment. Any attempt to go through a third party or do it yourself will cause significant damage to the front end that will cost more to repair.

The amount of spying and protectionism built into these cars makes me uncomfortable with owning one. While there are manufacturers like Aptera who are claiming to want to buck this trend by offering mail-order replacement parts, I'm convinced that I should just weld together my own rolling chassis and build a modern electric horseless carriage. It's insurance and safety concerns that give me pause. People in my state drive like maniacs on the best of days. A home built car, regardless of how much over-engineering I put into it, will likely be less safe in a collision than a modern car.
The problems with this aircraft are fortunately so basic a discussion of ground loops and inductance are fortunately completely unnecessary.

Yeah, I think priming people to look for bullshit is a good way to get them to pay attention.

While I do obviously hope that ChatGPT is able to curve against the misinformation problem, I actually do think there's been a lot of value for me personally in trying to figure out where it's getting things subtly wrong. Since I'm taking everything it says with huge grain of salt, the I am kind of forced to dissect every sentence a bit more thoroughly than I might with a textbook where I know everything is gonna be correct.

False dilemma. There are other methods to implement tax and redistribute. Additionally some countries like Canada and Switzerland are taking the lead in offering legal frameworks for life management solutions.
I believe specific gravity.

Things like "how do you properly make a B-52?" ( http://www.cocktailhunter.com/bartender-guide/specific-gravi... ) or a Pousse Café ( https://youtu.be/4OJd_phsa5w )
I hope the reason given was something like "people have free will and sometimes they use it to do evil" (which is why forgiveness is a thing), and that "God has a plan" includes a plan to heal and restore (for instance, Jesus saying "I came that [my sheep] may have abundant life" or "I came to destroy the works of the evil one"). If it's just "everything happens for a reason" but nothing more, that's basically saying "I don't know how to help you".

Possibly off-topic rant: If the reason is "it was God's will, because God is sovereign and therefore everything is his will", I think that is bordering on function heresy. Christianity (and life) has all these tensions: God is one, but God is three; Jesus is a man, but Jesus is God; God is sovereign, but he gave us free will. The temptation is to resolve the tension by cutting off one of the ends of the tension. The original heretics chopped off one of the ends of the tension about Jesus: Jesus was only man and not God (for example, Adoptionism, Arianism) and Jesus was only divine and not man (for example, Docetism, Apollinarianism). The view that evil is God's will is similarly chopping off our responsibility, so it is doing the same thing that the original heretics did. In my view, the biblical view is that people doing evil is NOT God's will, but what he wants to achieve requires that he give us free will (and his plan of resolving our choice to do evil is to put his spirit in our hearts).
So the "truth" would be his primary base of personal wealth is utterly derived from selling cars to...checking notes...the worst people in the country who deserve to be bullied and ridiculed? And that he has no choice but to educate the world about this truth? Even if it means destroying his personal reputation and businesses?

Or - and this is amply documented now - perhaps the "truth" is he's doing way too many drugs (WSJ), making horrible decisions (Supercharger), and per the deeply persuasive data in the linked thread, is killing the company?

Our original goal was to help people get their resume going and into a nice-looking doc asap.

College students we interviewed were adamantly against subscriptions, so we pivoted. We realize it's a more effort for seasoned professionals.

We're going to increase the cheapest offering to at least 2. GPT-4 has some cost limits, but we're actively figuring out how to squeeze more value for users. Our dream is to "speak to your document" and we're evaluating if we can and should try to get there. We think we have innovations in the word processing space... obviously it's not the safest area to play in with MSFT looking to innovate their own products with Agents.

Makes options more accessible. It also an additional signal of bullishness from the company.

Before partial shares and odd lots, it also let less money buy the stock.
Up until recently, regardless of the source accessibility, certain things were just impossible. For example, a computer could not universally interpret and categorize what you’re using it for. Now it’s entirely possible, so naturally people’s attitudes change.

Ok. So you admit that it's not a subsidy to businesses then and you're just using that word as an inflammatory talking point?

> It's just a big spreadsheet, you're arguing over a cell or two, I'm arguing over the function result and working backwards from there.

The problem is that if you're making wrong observations about these individual cells, you're going to write bad functions trying to wrangle them into the result you want. An example of this is the San Francisco blamed "greedy businesses" on their housing crisis, so they passed a ballot initiative that would raise hundreds of millions in taxes on businesses that they could spend housing. The problem is that housing problem was caused by NIMBYism all along, and despite spending billions of dollars on homelessness since then, their housing crisis only gotten worse and businesses are refusing return to SF even more than other cities.

> Force corporations to raise wages

Do you realize that this is exactly what Amazon wants? https://www.aboutamazon.com/impact/economy/15-minimum-wage

I think this goes to highlight why capital is winning over labor. Shareholders will do whatever it takes to make money without being blinded by ideology. Amazon investors realize that they would actually benefit from an America with higher labor costs because they are more automated their their competitors and are positioned to capture market share in such an environment. Meanwhile, most regular people are apathetic towards politics and those who care are too committed to their ideology to make good decisions.

The "hypothesis" is that you can, in fact, dislike it when people are criminally underpaid by corporations, even if it is supposedly a "good" wage.

No, it doesn't have to be injective. In theory, the range can be any group. It's k bits in practice (with addition mod 2^k or xor as the group operator), but k need not have any relationship with `lg(|S|)`.

What does this mean
This is like saying "the benefits of functional programming are overstated". If you are happy with mutable collections, you've happy with mutable variables, pervasive side effects and essentially the status quo. Many of us are not happy with the level of software quality out there and the status quo, Rich Hickey included.

When you get into REPL-driven development, the JVM startup time (which is often under a second for me anyways) is a total non-issue. You don't continuously restart your program to see changes or run tests. You can refresh all your state instantly without exiting.

But before Babashka, that was indeed a barrier to using Clojure in shell scripts. Now we have it all!

One example is in finance, you have a lot of 45 page PDFs laying around and you're pretty sure one of them has the Reg, or info you need. You aren't sure which so you open them one by one and do a search for a word, then jump through a bunch of those results and decide it's not this PDF. You do that till you find the "one".
