Discussion thread in the Erlang community proposing implementing io_uring for BEAM, security issues, and a digression comparing it to FreeBSD's kqueues

https://erlangforums.com/t/erlang-io-uring-support/765/18?pa...
Hi HN,

We’ve been working on a voice analytics platform that we describe as the “Mixpanel for voice agents.” It helps businesses track their AI voice agent performance, monitor sentiment, and identify issues in real time.

The idea came from a problem we faced firsthand: building a voice agent for a dental clinic and realizing we had no way to easily understand how it was performing or identify which calls needed attention. That frustration led to Roark Analytics (https://roark.ai).

In just a few weeks, we’ve gone from 0 to 6 design partners and are processing hundreds of calls weekly. But we’re still in beta and trying to figure out how to best serve businesses with voice agents.

We’d love feedback on the idea, the landing page, and any suggestions for how we can refine it to better meet users’ needs.

Landing page: https://roark.ai

Thanks for taking a look, and I’d be happy to answer questions or hear thoughts!

Its a good question. There are worker threads in Node but they seem clunky to use:

Stateless webservers are easier, since this is merely loaf balancing. Just run more processes:

Google is running its own TPU hardware for internal workloads. I believe Nvidia is just resold for cloud customers.
Exactly. What I do is litter my code with contracts. I then profile to find the hot loop and minimize (not turn them off) there. For the 99% of the other code, the user won't notice any slowdown.

The value is just too high to turn them off in production. Do you want bug free code? This is the only way I know how to do it.
The content of the editor and the site preview were not loading previously. It seems to be resolved now.
It would improve it a bit, but not enought to compete in terms of energy usage with dialysis or reverse-osmosis.

Reverse-osmosis is absurdly efficient compared to distillation: a single 1X1 meter square solar panel can potentially generate 200 liters of fresh water per day.
Local development of an app that will send email. For example, when I'm building a django app, running it via `runserver`, I don't want it to go to an external mail server. And using the console logger for SMTP gets really noisy. Being able to point my browser at Mailpit's web UI lets me see all the messages the app has sent.

It's particularly nice for things like magic links and testing that email confirmations are working.
Huh, that's interesting. I wouldn't imagine that there were security problems specific to FUSE compared to any other software that you would run on your servers. Regardless, I see FUSE as the fastest path to getting our protcol in the hands of our customers. In the fullness of time, I hope that we can deliver it as either a kernel-module or in-tree.

it took two hours just to get the project running as it was 4 years ago. wait how much time it will take to upgrade everything to new versions.

and dare i say this is the lucky case. i had problems reactivating some older project because some dependencies were not version locked and newer versions of those were incompatible with other versioned ones. then it took forever to figure out the right versions. and i think i even had situations where the old version wasn't even available anymore (perhaps because of a linux dependency that wasn't available anymore on my newer linux system)
The best thing, by a long way, that Google Scholar has achieved is denying Elsevier & co a monopoly on academic search.

In most universities here in New Zealand, articles have to be published in a journal indexed by Elsevier's Scopus. Not in a Scopus-indexed journal, it does not count anymore than a reddit comment. This gives Elsevier tremendous power. But in CS/ML/AI most academics and students turn to Google Scholar first when doing searches.

Literally this. Ben hits the nail on the head that these tools can “write convincing Elizabethan language but can’t write Shakespeare”, along with his metaphor about craftsmen vs artists.

These tools can never create art because art is the imperfection of reality transposed from the mind’s eye using the talent of the artisan and their tools. Writing a convincing enough prompt to generate an assortment of visual outputs that you “choose” as the final product can never be art, because your art skills ended with the prompt itself - everything after was just maths, and not even maths you had a direct hand in. Even then, you cannot really shill your prompt as art either, because you wrote tokens to ingest into a LLM to generate pseudorandom visual outputs, not language to be interpreted by other humans and visualized on their own accord.

Art is one of those things you cannot appreciate until you make it, and generating slop is not creating art. A preschooler with a single, broken crayon and a napkin makes better art than anything generated via tokens and math models - and to really drive that home, I’d argue that the teenager goofing around with math formulas on their graphing calculator to create visually beautiful or interesting designs is also superior art than whatever the LLM can spew forth using far more advanced maths.

If you really want art, then make it. Learn to draw, practice photography, paint some scenery, experiment with formula visualizations, layout a garden, or heck, just commission an artist to bring your idea into reality. Learning to articulate your vision with language in such a way others can illustrate or create it is a far more valuable skill than laying out tokens for an LLM.
For the average non-FAANG company, there's nothing to port to yet. We don't all have the luxury of custom TPUs.
That’s irrelevant. Pneumatic systems don’t expose telemetry towards the network.

If you want to do that - and you do because having someone next to your equipment all the time to monitor things is both a waste of time and money and very error prone - you will need a data diode.
It feels like last time I looked into this, fanotify was for some reason not suitable for most inotify use cases. Maybe this has changed. Would be great news if so.

Believe it or not, but there’s a lot more that goes into filmmaking beyond the premise.

Parasite, The Substance, Uncut Gems, mother!, Krisha, Tangerine, and The Lighthouse are some movies from the last decade that are novel in ways beyond their premises.

No generic prompts to an LLM could create those movies, even if it could spit out a vague 2 sentence premise that matches them.

Note that I’m not saying it could never happen, but LLMs as we have them in 2024 produce regurgitated slop, and require significant creative input from the prompter to make anything artistically interesting.
It's never an easy thing to do or one that should come to fruition, but yes, I would contribute to the effort for my country if it was so.

I think it is you who have misunderstood the Nyquist-Shannon theorem. Aliasing and noise are real concerns. Tim Wescott explains it very well [0] (Figures 3, 10 and 11). If your signal is below one half the sample rate but the noise isn't, you'll lose information about the signal. If your signal phase is shifted wrt. the sampling, you'll lose information. If your sampling period isn't representative, you'll lose information. These are not implementation details.

In addition to the experiential gap between theatre and film, we have productions which translate from one to the other. Each is a distinct market.

A subset of the Chinese TV version of "Three-Body Problem" consists of video gameplay "footage". The lack of human actors is compensated by over the top footage of cataclysms, which could never be filmed. It's mostly additive to the storyline with human actors.

AI can create new media markets with different cost structures. These will necessarily subtract some attention-minutes from existing film audiences. But it should also lower production costs for artistic filmmakers focused on portrayal of human actors for human audiences.
> We're stuck between having to do timid actions and full NATO escalation

If only there were someone applying pressure to Russia we could have fight for us!
I think it's a great speech, but I may make the point that he's probably underrating audiences' demand for interesting or new content. Audiences already seem pretty happy with endless iterations of the same few concepts.

His example of having AI generate a kludged together episode of Succession feels exactly like what most shows already do now.
> Garbage has to be way up above 28KHz before it starts to fold over into the audible region, too.

You brick-wall everything at 20 kHz (with an analogue filter) before you sample it; that's part of the CD standard, and generally also what all other digital CD-quality audio assumes. This ensures there simply is no 28 kHz garbage to fold. The stuff between 20 and 28 in your reconstructed signal then is a known-silent guard band, where your filter is free to do whatever it wants—which in turn means that you can design it only for maximum flatness (and ideally, zero phase) below 20 kHz and maximum dampening above 28 kHz (where you will be seeing the start of your signal's mirror image after digital-to-audio conversion), not worrying about the 20–28 kHz region.
"We" already screwed their pipeline, what's left? Provide Ukraine with the means to blow up the Kerch bridge maybe? They're the ones that could legitimately do that sort of escalation.
Why is AMD shit at low-level processing? What does it mean "their algos are stuck"? Having watched "the industry" for a few decades now, the appeal for NV smells heavily like the old appeal for Xeons, and Big Blue before them. The moat appears (to me, an unknowledgeable outsider) to be just cultural, not necessarily technical.
> US car companies have created the lasting idea that cars are dead at 100K miles

OT but, there were clear exceptions to this even back in the bad ol' days. It was common knowledge in the 70s that for certain engines (such as Chevy small blocks), if you cared for the engine (mainly: regular oil changes) you could get 200K+ out of it. The rest of the car was too low-tech to decay, except of course for road salt vs body work.

I don't think this is always true. Why can't there be cultures that are more likely to serve as a locus of fast development? Sure, there are geographic and climatic factors, but there are also cultural factors.

Public content on the Internet should be scrapable. That's what public means.

The fact that my reddit posts were publicly available never bothered me. Even if they were going to be used to train some LMM.
What does bother me is reddit locking up my posts and making exclusive deals with Google to train Google's LMM.

Preventing scraping isn't good for the average user; it is good for the company that wants to take content created by said user, lock it up, and sell it to their buddies.

It's worth reading "1491 (Second Edition): New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus" by Charles C Mann if you have the time.

https://www.amazon.com/1491-Second-Revelations-Americas-Colu...

What happened is that European disease created massive pandemics that killed most of the American Indians. No one was seduced by western culture, because, in general, American Indians had a better standard of living than the European colonists.

Where I live, (in Massachusetts,) the remaining American Indians integrated into European settlements because so few of them were left. I know its different elsewhere in the American continents; you can find out more if you read 1491 and its sequel 1493.

> Upper and lower cases have different significance

Yes, that's why they're a good example of assigning semantic significance to the font that something is written in.

What do you think that means?

Try this one: I can have Arial and Calibri letters in the same font.

Where a 'font' is a data file used by word processors to render ASCII or Unicode, it's just as true.

If you think a 'font' means something other than that, what is it, and how does your definition preserve the idea that a capital A and a lowercase a are distinct in some dimension that isn't their 'font'?
It's the right thing to do anyway, but especially as a way to respond to Russia.
