I didn't get this either until I looked at the linked doc, which breaks it down more obviously imo (section 6.1 for examples). Looks interesting to me, seems nice to be able to handle refreshing content with pure http as described here

I'd say that knowledge (stored as weights) is acquired through experience (starting from a mostly blank start, weights are formed through exposure to training data). For me that's a useful mental model which helps me think about w

The googled definition says "the mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought, experience, and the senses.", which I think fits ok. Do you have a word that you prefer?

I had a chat with GPT about this and it came up with the term 'data grounded cognition' to describe an 'intelligence' that is derived purely from (and expressed through) statistical patterns in data. I quite like the ter

If you feel this is a problem for you, and you haven't already, it's worth checking with a doctor for blood tests. I felt similarly in the mornings and being diagnosed + treated for an underactive thyroid was a huge improvement

afaik the aim is to provide enough warning to protect transformers, I guess by powering them down in some way? Not sure it answers your question but in case interesting here's a link to a UK document describing 'space weather prep

We try to use a Community of Practice framework, e.g. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Community_of_practice . Active members of a CoP might then decide to set up a book club etc. It's quite easy to draw a line from

Conda has been a lifesaver for me in the past, but it got so slow in ~2019 (minutes+ to resolve dependencies) that I've switched back to pip whenever possible. Maybe things have been resolved now though? E.g. https://github.

This is cool, but the high cost of using step functions ($0.025 per 1,000 state transitions) makes me pretty wary of using it for anything that doesn't really need the orchestration functionality (i.e. long term wait / retry logic

Do 4xx responses count against your SLO? For me they don't, but an abnormal increase might still signify that something is actually wrong. (I haven't yet found a useful tool for highlighting this kind of abnormality though)

I think a python implementation of flow is in the toolz library as compose_left. I find myself often using the similar pipe function. - https://toolz.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#toolz.functo... - https:&#x2

Thinking about this further, the benefit of these restrictions is in avoiding conflicts where dependant infrastructure is updated in place before the blue green has completed. Lack of inputs and outputs still seems killer though.

The list of restrictions in the user guide seems painful - cannot be used in the same template as nested stacks, cannot start a blue green deploy if other infrastructure would be modified at the same time, cannot import properties from othe
