Can anyone recommend a book or other resource for a lay person to understand this?

Have you looked at Continue.dev? It’s open source and allows both local/open source and commercial models. It’s definitely got challenges / bugs (particularly for remote dev) but I think is worth a look.

This is really interesting to me but there’s a few things here that are beyond my reach. Could anyone describe these in more detail or point to references?

* partials? Is that another word for harmonics?

* “Box tone”?

* Breakpoint synthesis? ChatGPT suggests this is a kind of interpolation but I don’t quite get it.

Any general references would be really appreciated. Thank you!

Totally agree! If you're in Portland, join us for Papers We Love in person!

https://www.meetup.com/papers-we-love-pdx

Next meetup is Weds 10 May. We've been reading data-oriented papers recently (CRDTs/AutoMerge, Delta Lake, C-Store, etc) but we'll likely do some of these papers soon. Hope you can join us.

Yes. Very often the email never gets sent — because I find the solution while writing it.

Does anyone have a good reference on how barriers of various “strengths” are actually implemented on several modern hardware platforms?

Hi, I'm Chris.

I'm a hands-on software engineering leader with over 20 years experience who is passionate about creating powerful and usable software that betters the human condition.

I've jump-started multiple teams and products using the right mix of strategy, technology, and talent. I've worked with founders, product, and UX to refine their vision and establish a technology culture and architecture that delivered immediate value while preserving options for the future. Having implemented multiple early products with my own hands, I have also enjoyed incrementally evolving existing platforms and processes to be more impactful.

Check out my resume and website for details of the products I've helped launch, but they include a cancer patient / clinical-trial support app (as head of engineering) and patient- and provider-facing digital workflow tools including insurance pricing estimates (cited as a key asset in the $375M acquisition of a genetic testing company).

I'm seeking a leadership role such as founding engineer or head of engineering at an early stage company. I'd prefer a full time role but would consider consulting arrangements for salary and equity. I care deeply about and will work hard to grow both your product and the team that builds it.

Does istat menus not show this? Is it just not detailed enough? I guess some stuff like backups show up under “kernel”…
