@facontidavide Well, r/modernopensource I guess will pop soon

Yesterday I gave a Deep Dive session on my Cppyy_kit (https://t.co/JsHRvLexyj) project at #ROSCONUK . It was a great fun session where we spent a while going beyond the topic and we discussed what the future of software, libraries and frameworks may look like now with AI

@facontidavide It's just appreciating different flavors and culinary experiences, that's very Italian too!

[Sam Pfeiffer @awesomebytes]

@hr0nix @huaijiangzhu Or... The good one?

[Sam Pfeiffer @awesomebytes]

@facontidavide Felicidades!! A disfrutar!

[Sam Pfeiffer @awesomebytes]

@JafarUruc Yeah, the adversarial review is both the most useful review and the most disastrous one many times!

[Sam Pfeiffer @awesomebytes]

@facontidavide To the extent that we can pull it off, I think we should aim for both. A deep understanding of the system we're building, together with a deep understanding of why we're building it.

Is the only thing I get out of this, to be honest

[Sam Pfeiffer @awesomebytes]

@facontidavide Well, if you _frame_ it that way... It does sound awesome!

[Sam Pfeiffer @awesomebytes]

@facontidavide AI, obviously

[Sam Pfeiffer @awesomebytes]

@facontidavide What an awesome feature!!

[hr0nix @hr0nix]

Today's robots are too unreliable and slow for real industrial work. Reinforcement learning changes that.

Meet KinetIQ Ascend: our robots practice real production tasks and improve predictably towards industrial reliability standards.

How it works 🧵

@facontidavide GPU = Good Per User

@facontidavide "optimise pls". Nah, jokes aside 80% is tests and performance benchmarks for this particular project. There were many incremental steps to get to this

@facontidavide MS Paint, you just have crazy skills

[Sam Pfeiffer @awesomebytes]

@facontidavide It definitely does look like you will!

[Sam Pfeiffer @awesomebytes]

@Fmrico Let's... Not design many frameworks and stick to a couple of good opinionated options? Haha (more than one, competition is good, but not dozens please!)

[Sam Pfeiffer @awesomebytes]

@facontidavide I so agree. I think, and I actually do like it (while I have a job lol), that roles in engineering will just be more multidisciplinary and more focused on delivery

@facontidavide Now PlotJuggler is X-Dimensional? XD
