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…

oh, your luser account is 'letsdothisagain', great thannnnks. I'll take care of that right now.

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 includ…

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 …

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

@cyberax said, "My problem with the current IAS systems is state storage. It should not be needed! Instead, the IAS tool should introspect the systems it's managing and build the n…

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 te…

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 ca…

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…

I did as well, and was rooting for him.

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…

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…

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 Re…

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, grati…

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 …

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, t…

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 tea…

I found this [1] breakdown helpful to understand the legal position of this hypothetical. > unlimited [...] discussion, planning and coordination turns into evidence once "intent" …

Interesting presentation that explores your question. +1 intersection from this commenter. Tim Ewald - Clojure: Programming with Hand Tools https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShEez0Jk…

Hacking Healthcare (HC specific) and The DevOps Handbook (general) are the books I buy for everyone joining the team. I recommend Eric Topol's books as well, including The Creative…

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 ushere…

Hi Duff! Happy to see you on HN. EDIT: not Fred. I work for a large hosp. operations company and serve as the Dir. Engineering for our clinical operations group. Hacking Healthcare…

For anyone interested in background on Datomic, these are fun and informative resources. The talk where I realized Rich is a data head too. Introducing his design goals and life ex…

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 i…

Solar_Fields and Bigger_Cheese, my apologies for not specifying the db. In this case I'm talking about a production level data warehouse specifically designed to perform complex qu…
