What is the general outline of going from a model of a craft (drone, sailboat, etc) to building a sim that can do reinforcement learning over a physical object interaction with its env? I want to start playing with models, sims and collecte

Curious what recent work you are referencing? Lots of new so I don’t want to miss things. In my experimentation I basically wrote off LLMs from doing any math directly. That includes aggregations or precise calculations. I’ve been playing

Hi holoway, I've been following your project for a couple of months now. How do you compare yourselves to upbound/crossplane? IME crossplane has been a "much better terraform" and also borrows from some of tf's open

How did you approach testing this? Anything to watch out for when defining abstractions? I'm following Crossplane's abstraction model.

Back in my early days of data eng for ML pipelines, I stumbled onto Drake- and it opened my eyes to managing pipelines as DAGs. This pattern is supremely effective, and I try to teach anyone who might benefit. https://www.factual

Don't overlook the comment about form. Form is everything, weight is secondary. Get a professional trainer to help you setup your form once you move to barbell work and then you can go from there on your own.

r/homegym will have some good recs for gear to get started. Plenty of bodyweight training you can do too- great for turning on your main muscle groups (youtube). A barbell and some plates w/ rack will cover the main lifts. Squats,

One of my favorite lessons "learned the hard way" by someone else. You fundamentally cannot run a business on poor data practices. It will sink you before you realize what happened. https://www.canadianbusiness.com&#x2F

I'm curious if our interactions could be biased. For example, we're clients of RH (RHEL & Openshift) so I'm guessing we interact with more presentable humans. Everyone I've met has been genuinely wonderful and suppor

I like Whitehurst and have had the chance to meet him a few times. If you want to understand his ethos check out "The Open Organization". It details his transition from Delta to Red Hat and the transformation of his leadership sty

I support getting the sampling rate and quality up. To what level? Idk. Have you ever been in a room with a DJ playing low quality music on a decent sound system? It's awful, grating. Now at least your everyday aspiring DJ has access t

Overnight on the USS Yorktown (CV-10) was awesome, one of the highlights of all the scouting trips we took. It felt like we had full run of the ship, and my buddies and I explored quite a bit. My first impressions of WWII history and Battle

First, if you haven't worked in a large "non-tech" enterprise, you might be surprised to find out it's just 100 startups with a common name and financing. The bigger the company, the less technical cohesion across teams.

Great article. Even in a large enterprise, where the prevailing organizational ideology centers around building the largest headcount you can for political sway... I've kept my team small on purpose, and we were able to be very effecti

Hi Duff! Apologies for the mixup, should have seen that in your handle. No, I'm not part of CHL/TXR. While not open source by any stretch, I see the personal EHR space being ushered along by companies following Apple's lead.

Our team signed a contract with Cognitect for Datomic late 2017. This clause was in-place and stood out to me as well. I had a chance to ask their legal team about it. The clause is written in legal-ese, which always sounds overbearing. I a

This technique applies to many RDBMS, not just Oracle (as others have noted). Teradata, PostgreSQL, MS SQL all have 'analytical' functions like this. Analytical functions (over, partition by, etc) are extremely powerful and can he
