Yes, it’s amazing how time has flown. I was there for the launch and surely it was just a few months ago.

It is part of LF and is a graduate now after being contributed in 2021.

Evaluations for Testing Agentic AI

What do you think about measuring agentic AI in practice. A few weeks ago I read something on Anthropic’s blog on evals for AI agents https://www.anthropic.com/engineering/demystifying-evals-for-ai-agents, and then yesterday saw this on Medium https://medium.com/quantumblack/evaluations-for-the-agentic-world-c3c150f0dd5a Feels like this is becoming a thing. Anthropic talk about how to structure...

Ah, cool, thanks for the clarification. Good luck with it all, and congrats on the launch!

>What nothing we've found out there do (except perhaps kedro) is model the "micro" -- E.G. the specific fine-grained dependencies so you can take a look at your code and figure out how exactly it works.

Just wondering then @elijahbenizzy - how does Hamilton differ from Kedro?

>Pretty cool when you're added to a new project, have no idea what people have been working on for the past 2 months there and want to see where most of the actual effort was focused.

That's a neat idea!

That's a good point, but I guess for non-tech people activity => work and no activity => no work, so at that level it illustrates reasonably well, no?

Apple Music in a car when you are in an area with no network signal. Urgh! Try getting to downloaded music while you are driving (don’t do this)!
Re:Cloud pubsub services compared: Azure Web PubSub vs. Ably on Tuesday August 09, 2022 @09:50AM (#32397864)
Disclaimer: both the author of the article and the OP for this post (me) work for Ably.

The post compares two cloud pubsub services: Azure Web PubSub and Ably in terms of ease of development, creating a collaborative multi-user pixelart drawing app with both services.

Conclusions: Both Azure Web PubSub and Ably offer a similar pubsub feature set, but the Ably API was easier to use (although comes with the disclaimer that the author has used Ably more in the past).

Being able to publish named events and subscribe to them (client-side) without the need of handling them via an upstream server and custom event handlers was an advantage, while a potential downside is the use of a third party library increases the download size of the app.

Re:The unsaid truth about working from home on Tuesday August 09, 2022 @07:42AM (#32396549)
I've worked from home for years and agree with much of this. It isn't just the "office at home" it's a totally different mindset. It's probably only in my most recent job that I've really _got_ that, and that is because my company is fully remote so everyone is doing it. Nobody feels left out by being at home, and nobody expects synchronous communication or presenteeism.
