Could redshift/blueshift explain why the light appeared to move at different velocity when he moved the camera to another position?


No. It's strictly because of travel time from the "observed spot" to the camera. He explains it in the back half of the video, but for his setup (and every camera everywhere, including your eyes!), it doesn't matter just how long light took to get to the point where it scatters, but also how long it takes for it to get from that point to the detector. If the camera is placed far enough to the side, that time delay is close enough to identical for all samples, but if the camera is in line with the laser, there is a substantial time difference for light scattering close to the camera to light scattering near the far wall.


He actually explains it. It's due to the round trip time increasing from further away water droplets when filmed at an oblique angle. Light hitting a droplet 3m away has a 3x times longer round trip than light hitting a droplet 1m away.


Does Distributed Llama use RDMA over Converged Ethernet or is this roadmapped? I've always wondered if RoCE and Ultra-Ethernet will trickle down into the consumer market.


Some motherboards disable power to their ethernet port upon sleep and so WoL will not work.

This is particularly common if the NIC is a power hungry 10GbE port.

However, in the particular case I found, the motherboard also disables oower to any usb GigE adapter attached.

The solution I found was to attach a USB hub with (empty) SD slots and integrated GigE port. As SD cards require power to remain mounted, the motherboard did not shutdown power to this adapter and WoL worked.


There's a "EuP 2013" setting in the BIOS/UEFI. Disable that.

If you use Windows, check in device manager for a setting to allow the device to wake up the computer. (I can't remember the exact name.)


This reminds me of the empty box in a corner of the workshop with the written note "Don't remove!".


But were all the other managers in the team in a TLM role?

The problem I foresee here is, there would be escalation meetings and all the non-technical managers would sit back and point fingers at the TLMs until they leave.


I actually find Obsidian is better than using a todo.txt.

In Obsidian, open the daily file amd copy the contents from yesterday. Anything big gets its own folder.

Screenshots...etc can be dumped into the Obsidian document.

OneSync app can sync files to OneDrive so I can read it on my phone.

What's the point of this? Isn't it easier to just keep reusing the same note?


Oh I miss Optane drives.


Grab one from Aliexpress while you stil can)


I kept finding my balcony door ajar in my hotel room - an employee was smoking on my balcony.


But, if you want to make it look like you are doing the right thing but don't want to be remembered as having done that right thing, maybe this was the right thing to do given that now it won't be done.


How did you sort out mapping python constructs to their semantic equivalents?

I hope you keep at this, you may be in the right place at the right time.

It's getting to the point where some of the LLMs are immediately just giving me answers in Python, which is a strong indication of what the future will look like with Agents.


I'm struggling to understand the question. I'll revisit this when I wake up since it's quite late here.


I mean to ask, how did you decide the operators and functions to provide?


This is severely underrated work, why aren't there more mid sized companies helping this? Ultra Ethernet just got released.


Ultra Ethernet will do almost nothing. It’s a rubber stamped version of Broadcom’s design and Marcel/Cisco/etc will just add it to their asics. Remains to be seen if SpecrumX will or Connectix. If not, none of it matters.

These chips are $30m-$100m projects a pop. After the embarrassingly brutal failure of Barefoot nobody is going to do ASICs.
