We build the equivalent for land, as a non-profit. It's basically a geo Transformer MAE model (plus DINO, plus matrioska, plus ...), but largest and most trained (35 trillion pixels roughly). Most importantly fully open source and open license. I'd love to help you replace land masks with land embeddings, they should significantly help downscale the local effects (e.g. forest versus city) that afaik most weather forecast simplify with static land cover classes at most. https://github.com/Clay-foundation/model
I've been seeing a product we use at my organization roll out incomplete/trash feature fast to have a product, and then fix them after the fact.

We've gotten tons of blow back as other teams use the product and find it next to useless with tons of bugs, and I'm stuck trying to push it. Not a fun place to be.

Learned a lot about the software market and capitalism though.
Sure. But is Ragathiel any better than Bjorn’er, the god of rapturous dance that I just made up? Imo, no. If someone wants to choose a predefined god, sure. If someone wants to make one up? Also sure.

I'm not sure I buy The Bitter Lesson, tbh.

Deep Blue wasn't a brute-force search. It did rely on heuristics and human knowledge of the domain to prune search paths. We've always known we could brute-force search the entire space but weren't satisfied with waiting until the heat death of the universe for the chance at an answer.

The advances in machine learning do use various heuristics and techniques to solve particular engineering challenges in order to solve more general problems. It hasn't all come down to Moore's Law.. which stopped bearing large fruit some time ago.

However that still comes at a cost. It requires a lot of GPUs, land, energy, and fresh water, and Freon for cooling. We'd prefer to use less of these resources if possible while still getting answers in a reasonable amount of time.

So what really turned me off to this guy was his smarmy ~2019 campaign that also damaged my view of otherwise sensible Youtubers who shilled for him without thinking carefully. As such, pretending to save the planet while failing at math, logic, and physics because getting rich and being a internet->real celebrity are oh so much more important™ than emotionally and financially exploiting your audience or doing what you say you're going to do. sigh

Sure. I'm not saying there shouldn't be status updates. I'm just saying that those status updates aren't because they are "doing Agile."

There isn't really any such thing as "doing Agile", it isn't a prescribed process to follow.

And saying that you use Agile instead of Scrum but dislike the invasive status meetings isn't actually congruent with the actual definitions of Agile or Scrum.
The Perfect Watch Costs $20
A local station had (I think past tense, though it made it a lot less likely for me to go there to check) their pumps playing ads in "attract mode" when nobody was using them. So going there late at night and filling up involved listening to a poorly-timed round of "BUY NOW" utterances from eight different sources (because of course they weren't synchronized). And you couldn't really mute it because it was all the other pumps.

It was horrible.

Agreed. But Kanban also often incorporates some of the processes from Scrum like daily standups that aren't prescribed anywhere in Agile.

Personally I find it more useful to organize things around useful product milestones that are actually usable and demo-able. Those might take a week, or three weeks, but probably not two months because that's a long time to go without a demo and getting feedback. Sticking to a rigid 2-week sprint with an expectation of demo-able progress after each sprint doesn't feel particularly realistic or useful to me.

Apple Watch's Sleep Apnea Detection Feature Receives FDA Clearance
Show HN: Open-source platform to build internal AI agents
Hi everyone, Airstrip is an open-source platform for users to build internal AI agents. We've made some major changes since our last release.

- Improved chat experience with a memory layer: For this, we are using Mem0. This can be configured when creating the agent.

- Notion-style editing to configure agent: A sleeker UI and a familiar editing experience for our users.

- Encrypted API keys and only decrypted at the point of usage. We are using Infisical to store our encryption keys, ensuring greater security.

- Add knowledge bases to chat assistants. We are using Unstructured to handle the parsing of various document types and chunking for greater context. This is much better than our v1 where users need to add all content in the prompt.

Our goal is to build an open-source enterprise-grade AI platform that combines the best-in-class LLM tools (preferably open-source too) for users to build AI agents easily.

Thank you!

Hi, Nikhil here. We haven't done a head-to-head comparison of GFT vs GraphCast, but our internal metrics show GFT improves on Aurora and published metrics show Aurora improves on GraphCast. You can see some technical details in section 6 of the Aurora paper (https://arxiv.org/pdf/2405.13063)
Yes.

You can do actual useful stuff with electricity no matter where it came from, like smelting aluminium, training AI models or desalinating water. Wasting it on mining bitcoin is literally the last thing we should be doing with spare energy.

If that spare energy doesn’t have a use yet, negative pricing will find one… but allowing that use to be “computing mathematical puzzles to support a deregulated financial instrument whose chief uses are illicit transactions and speculative investment” is just absurd and we should regulate this away.

Like I said, I'm not a Forth person, but if there were any around to settle it I would bet you all those things have several implementations (I do know that many people have written OOP and OOP-like things in Forth.)

> I mean the same functionality, flexibility and level of convenience.

I feel like you're missing the point (although there's such a thing as ANSI Forth so you are in good company). In Forth re-implementing an exact model of some other system (like CLOS, which is, of course, very nice, I don't need to tell you) is a non-goal (you could do it but it would be kind of a stunt.)

The fundamental advantage of concatinative languages over pretty much all the other PLs and paradigms (except maybe Smalltalk and APL) is that they permit parsimony of code, what some have called "semantic compression", by refactoring better than other languages. One of the reasons Lisp is so powerful is that it's also pretty good for refactoring.

I could prove this using Category theory (and God willing someday I will), concatinative languages are closer to the metal (the "metal" in this case being, not the hardware, but the conceptual essence of programming and logic.)

Anyway, well met, and have a good week. :)
I have. You can assign sounds to stuff in IDEs, which I had some fun with in the early days of Visual C++.

I was the tech lead on a project at a Big-6 consulting firm, so my friend and I set the team's machines up to point to wave files on the network for basic compilation events. Success, warning, error. And the Windows startup sound.

This allowed me to change any of these sounds at any time, unbeknownst to the team. At some point, I changed the "build failed" sound to my own voice saying "That's crap!" It was amusing to hear this randomly coming out of this cube or that... especially my own, when I had a build fail and said "That's crap" right before my computer said it in the exact same intonation.

Yeah... easily amused in the days of "Compaq Business Audio!"
Didn't Google have the LaMDA model pretty early, which was even described as "sentient" at some point? That doesn't look "fumbled" to me.
There are no PMs in actual Scrum. Scrum Teams are self-managing, so there's no need for a PM.

There's a direct relationship between the Client and the Scrum Team. Where most companies screw up is in their business model. You can't charge a flat fee for fixed project description and call it Scrum. Scrum is iterative, by design. It's supposed to evolve with the CLient's needs and desires. They want to be able to change the scope, the price, and the timeline on a whim. If you aren't billing per-Sprint, then you're going to have a constant "charge the Client for a change request" mentality, which makes them feel like they're being Nickel and Dime. It's much better to say "We welcome your changes at any time for any reason. It may not fit in the next Sprint, but we can always put them in the one after that."

In Sprint-based projects the Client has to be free to terminate the agreement at any time, if they feel they're not getting enough value in exchange for their money. This is why constantly delivering value to the Client is key.

When they charge a flat fee, they feel they need a PM to make sure they don't lose money. And how can you know if you're losing money? You force people to track their hours back. It all gets toxic.

When the Client pays per Sprint, as long as each Sprint is profitable and delivering value, it can be a huge profit center that has no end date. Often times, Clients will just keep adding features forever instead of stopping at the flat fee end date.

The irony is that the proposition that "someone wrote a book that proposed waterfall as the best software method" is itself a strawman argument.

To my knowledge, that has never been claimed.

Waterfall is what many of us old fogies in the industry experienced as the "defacto" methodology for a long time. It made intuitive sense that in order to design a build a project that you would first, you know, DESIGN it. Then you'd kick over that design to software developers that were expected to implement it.

Iteration in the design and development process, the idea of "people before process" and getting designers and engineers to collaborate early on etc. was not obvious. That's where all of Agile's "waterfall" talk came from. The fact that for a long time what companies were doing, while never exactly the same process as each other, was always waterfall-like because that's what made the most sense in an industry that was very new and in which no one knew wtf they were doing... so they took knowledge from other domains and tried to make it fit. That's a large part of what Fred Brook's The Mythical Man Month talks about.

It's only now that a new generation of developers has come up in a world where all they've ever known was "Agile" and "Scrum", that the world they know is so far removed from the "non-Agile" world that these books describe.

A colleague of mine the other day was talking about experimenting with something using the browser's `postMessage` API 8 years ago. My initial reaction was "did postMessage exist 8 years ago?" And then I remembered that 8 years ago was 2016 and it's already 2024. Many "experienced" people coding today have 5 years experience... and then they talk about concepts that were a reaction to how things were being done in the 80s and 90s as if those decades never happened ... because if they had even been born yet they were still children, so they weren't there to live that reality and the pain that what came later was a reaction to.
That's how concentrating your attention goes.

You pick a thing within your field of attention, center your attention upon it and narrow your attention until the thing fills your entire field of attention.

Which gives you a new field of attention. Then you repeat the process. And so on.

A kind of infinite shrinking of perspective.

This is what artists, scientists and engineers do. It's a bit insane. It's the cornerstone of our civilization.

It's "romanticized middle ages", epic high fantasy, it's not supposed to be realistic or allegorical, it just provides a neutral canvas, on top of which the actually interesting bits are painted. The most interesting themes to me in D&D's forgotten realms were always mythological, immortality, the pantheon (the time of troubles etc.), divine and arcane magic, good vs. evil, destiny & prophecies etc. it has nothing to do with the middle ages. Kings are often literally background characters while the heroes fight against the world ending threats (like dark lords similar to Sauron, liches or ascended (demi)gods).

But of course everyone's perspective on this is very different, which is a good thing imho. It only has very deep lore if it matters to you.
Is Musk specifically an authoritarian transhumanist? His recent ramblings seem to me more like someone who's on the spectrum or perhaps just really stoned all the time. They don't seem to congeal into any sort of cohesive philosophy, but maybe I'm just not paying enough attention?

That's the typical design for a token-bucket rate limiter. A token-bucket limiter uses more memory but is a simpler design. I believe this bloom-filter based implementation is designed to be more memory efficient at the cost being less CPU efficient.
