It's another iteration of our monthly meetup. This month, we are looking forward to talk by Jiajun Yang from Holoplot. See talk details below.

As always, there will be time to network over drinks and pizza after the talk. Anyone interested in Audio development is welcome! Attendance is limited to people who have RSVP'd. If the event is full, please register for the waiting list in case a spot opens up.

Testing Audio Apps Silently: A Walk-Through of Automated Capture Tools Holoplot is a 3D-Audio-Beamforming loudspeaker company, but its audio eco system spanned from — embedded hardware running real-time multichannel DSP, through large scale Audio-over-IP distribution, to desktop application for auralization, etc. This brings challenges to setting up silent, safe and repeatable testing. In this talk I’ll show mostly open-source, off-the-shelf tools you can use to automate the capture in a range of scenarios. No more punishing your speakers and eardrums.

Jiajun Yang is a senior software development engineer in test at Holoplot. With a background in music technology, he join Holoplot in 2020 and has since built on a range of audio/software test automation development. His work focuses on Audio-over-IP, embedded system and desktop applications.

The success of GenAI apps is decided by the accuracy of their responses. Using Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), you can improve accuracy by grounding GenAI app responses in your data. In this session, explore advanced RAG techniques in Azure Database for PostgreSQL including new vector search algorithms, parameter tuning, hybrid search, semantic ranking, and the GraphRAG approach. See how customers are using these techniques to deploy corporate development platform for GenAI apps.

🗣 Ashley Jeffs - Sometimes the Package is Dumb

I‘ve picked the dumbest package within the Benthos (https://github.com/benthosdev/benthos) codebase, it’s basically just three contexts abstracted behind a few methods. I think its reason for existing is an interesting exploration of cancellation and shutdown concepts, the context package, and determining when a package is worth using in place of good old fashioned copy/pasted code.

⚡ Martin Eskdale Moen - Not your grandmother's VPN

but a magical networking tool for developers. It effortlessly weaves through NATs with WireGuard™, making secure connections as easy as pie.

☕ Break 🥐

🗣 Ray Yang - One Thing You Might Overlook When Reading Response Body in Golang

The topic is about a pitfall to handle reading http response body and how I found the bug and resolve it. I thought share it as there might be someone like me feel a bit confuse by the definition of `io.EOF` error and hope they can save a lot of time on debugging.

The proliferation of large models based on Transformer has outpaced advances in hardware, resulting in an urgent need for the ability to distribute enormous models across multiple GPUs. Despite this growing demand, best practices for choosing an optimal strategy are still lacking due to the breadth of knowledge required across HPC, DL, and distributed systems. These difficulties have stimulated both AI and HPC developers to explore the key questions: How can training and inference efficiency of large models be improved to reduce costs? How can larger AI models be accommodated even with limited resources?

What can be done to enable more community members to easily access large models and large-scale applications? In this session, we investigate efforts to solve the questions mentioned above. Firstly, diverse parallelization is an important tool to improve the efficiency of large model training and inference. Heterogeneous memory management can help enhance the model accommodation capacity of processors like GPUs.

Furthermore, user-friendly DL systems for large models significantly reduce the specialized background knowledge users need, allowing more community members to get started with larger models more efficiently. We will provide participants with a system-level open-source solution, Colossal-AI. More information can be found at https://github.com/hpcaitech/ColossalAI.

Think again.We do our best to stay out of politics, but with the debates wrapping last week, why not look at the candidates’ streaming profiles to get a sense of not only who they’re listening to — but who is listening to them ... and how?Since no one is vying for the Republican nomination, with Trump seeking a second term, we’ll look at six of the Democratic candidates: Cory Booker, Kamala Harris, Andrew Yang, Beto O’Rourke, Joe Biden, and Marianne Williamson.Booker’s Cory Booker’s Music playlist might only have around 150 followers, but what it lacks in popularity it makes up for in track popularity, with almost half of its 101 tracks at a popularity score of 60 or above.At around 180 followers, Biden’s streaming profile has about the same count as Booker’s playlist — but only 22 monthly listeners. Harris’ Kamala’s Summer Playlist ups the ante with more than 4,000 followers tuning into her heavily rap, hip-hop, soul, and funk oriented 46-song listing. O’Rourke’s BBQ for Beto has some 500 followers listening to his 94-song playlist, which ranges in genre from folk to classic rock and country to hardcore punk.Keep in mind, O-Rourke used to play in punk bands, so he definitely knows what’s up in that regard.As might be expected, Williamson’s streaming profile is heavily geared toward meditation, prayer, and motivational speeches — and it’s paying off.Williamson’s follower count is almost 1,800 with a Spotify monthly listener count of around 1,200, helping to make her listeners to followers ratio about 1 to 1.Perhaps most interesting, and maybe most unsurprising, is that her daily Wikipedia views shot up from some 12,000 to some 350,000 following the debate, correlating strongly with a daily change in her Instagram followers from around 600 to around 11,000 on Aug. 1.Yang’s Favorite Jams playlist leaves the others in the dust with more than 5,000 followers — despite it being primarily catalogue based.Oh, and in case you didn’t know, Yang appears to really enjoy Florence & the Machine and the Cure.Streaming performance might not be an indication of political performance, but it does give us some insight into who these candidates are looking to win over — or at least how good their music taste is.Outro That’s it for your Daily Data Dump for Friday, August 9th, 2019.
