h1t35h··on Show HN: LTE-connected IoT module with remote programming and NL data analysis
What do you mean when you say consistent response is a problem ? Is it that each time the response varies or that the response cannot be relied upon.

Have you tried fiddling around with temperature or SQL specific finetuned models?

The blog post shares the link for debugging tool as https://*.*.corp.google.com/codelabs/responsible-ai/lit-gemm...

.corp and the login redirect makes me believe it was supposed to be an internal link

It seems you have exposed the internal debugging tool link in the blog post. You may want to do something about it.

I understand the push to use the app for collecting my data for ads and what not but good lord is it too difficult to keep the web channels open? Why is this not available on browser :(
h1t35h··on Our Journey with Apache Arrow (Part 2): Adaptive Schemas and Sorting
Having worked with some teams/stakeholders who have programs and SOPs that are very tightly coupled with the excel, csv data handling I do have a few observations:

- These processes and SOPs are actually quite optimal for low scale use-cases but as organizations grow they find themselves in a tough space where even after you have a hiring spree going on everything seems to be falling apart and not maintainable.

- You almost always do lose out on an audit trail. Now, you don't always need an audit trail but if you find your org sharing tons of excel docs being shared on a regular basis you do need a tech integration to solve it. The lack of it means a gap in identifying things that can be made simple and no way to identify / fix things that may have gone wrong over a period of time.

- I fully agree with the statement . Ideally, it seems, support both. Allow rapid ingress and egress of data to/from Excel . The data in systems in software systems is useless it's almost always meant to be consumed by humans (mostly). And that just means while I do most of the authoritative processing in file format that computers do well with I allow it to be converted into a more human readable format which happens to be excel in some cases and visualizations in others.

h1t35h··on Our Journey with Apache Arrow (Part 2): Adaptive Schemas and Sorting
I've seen the power of moving systems to more machine readable file formats such as Parquet, Arrow as opposed to storing them as csv, json etc. For people who are actually making these design choices in my experience it has always been a better idea to prefer smarter formats over readable ones for large scale systems. They really help in longer term for :

- cost (more maintainable from the tech overhead required).

- storage (lower size)

- compute (faster reads and indexing)

h1t35h··on Buying an iPad Pro for coding was a mistake
While it's not the best experience I've been using iPad for coding for over 2 years on my personal projects. My setup uses a machine at home with - https://github.com/coder/code-server - terminus - for playing with terminal work - tailscale - for VPN and accessing local servers on home server

I must admit not having a ESC key in ipad keyboard is a pain as I'm a heavy vim user but after a few weeks you kind of get used to CMD + "." for escape and life moves on. IMO, the biggest pro I have for using iPad is the fact that the size and battery life as the heavy computing happens on my home server plus the small network footprint on mobile network is just helpful.
