Metrics and analytical models are a double-edged sword. They make complex systems easier to compare, automate, and reason about. But once a metric becomes important, people start optimizing for it. Not for the reality behind it. For the number itself. This is Goodhart’s law in practice: when a measure becomes a target, it stops being a good measure. submitted by /u/Sad-Interaction2478 [link] [留言]

React + Mapbox GL JS: Custom Markers, Popups, and Bounds-Based Data Fetching If you've added a Mapbox map in a React app before, you've probably hit a wall pretty quickly: Mapbox GL JS manages its own DOM, and React manages a virtual DOM, and getting the two to play nicely takes some thought. Markers and popups are a great example of this tension — they're imperative APIs in a world where you want declarative components. This post walks through a pattern I've landed on for wrapping mapboxgl.Marker and mapboxgl.Popup in composable React components, and combining them with bounds-based data fetching to build something like a real estate or earthquake explorer map — where the data on the map updates as you pan and zoom. Here's what we'll cover: Wrapping mapboxgl.Marker in a React component that handles its own lifecycle Using createPortal to render custom marker content in React Fetching data from an API using the map's current bounding box Tracking an active marker with React state Wrapping mapboxgl.Popup in a component If you want to see the finished product first, the source code is on GitHub . The Core Challenge: Two DOMs Before we get into the code, it's worth understanding why this requires a pattern at all. When you use React's normal component tree, React controls the DOM. But mapboxgl.Marker also creates and manages DOM nodes — it places an element on the map at a specific geographic coordinate, handles repositioning as you pan, and removes itself cleanly when you're done with it. The approach here is to use React to manage the lifecycle of each marker (mount when data arrives, unmount when data goes away), while letting Mapbox handle the positioning . We use React's createPortal to render JSX content into a DOM node that we hand off to Mapbox. The example discussed below is a map that fetches earthquake data for the current viewport, displaying a custom Marker and Popup for each. As you move the map and the bounds change, new data is fetched and the Markers a

What is an LLM evaluation harness? A deep dive into lm-eval-harness You fine-tuned a 7B model. It aced your smoke tests, your colleague ran a few prompts and shrugged approvingly, and the README is now full of cherry-picked outputs that look great in a screenshot. Then someone asks: how good is it, really? — and you realize you have no number to point at. No MMLU score. No HellaSwag. Nothing reproducible, nothing you can defend in a PR review, nothing you can compare to last week's checkpoint. That's the gap an evaluation harness fills. It turns "vibes-based evaluation" into something with a score, a stderr, and a config file you can re-run next Tuesday. Why evaluate LLMs at all? Two reasons that actually matter: Comparability. If you can't put a number on a model, you can't compare it to anything else — not the previous checkpoint, not the open-source baseline, not the commercial API you're trying to replace. Leaderboards are noisy and gaming-prone, but a local leaderboard with the tasks you care about is one of the most useful artifacts a team can build. Regression detection. Most model regressions are silent. A 0.3-point drop on MMLU won't show up in a chat session, but it will show up in CI. People who ship models for a living treat evals the way backend engineers treat unit tests: mandatory, run on every PR, and blocking on regressions. You don't need a hundred benchmarks. You need the three to five tasks that map to your actual use case , plus one or two general capability anchors (MMLU, HellaSwag) so you can sanity-check that you didn't accidentally destroy basic reasoning while you were tuning for your domain. What is an "evaluation harness"? An evaluation harness is the software that sits between a model and a benchmark. It handles the boring-but-critical parts: loading the model weights, tokenizing prompts in the way the benchmark expects, running inference, extracting the answer from a longer generation, scoring it against a ground-truth key, aggregating

Stop shipping a 1990s C library to compute planets. Xalen is the pure-Rust, Apache-2.0 replacement for Swiss Ephemeris. If your app does astrology, you already know the dependency. Swiss Ephemeris: a C library from the 1990s, a folder of binary .se1 data files you have to ship and locate at runtime, and a license that is either AGPL or you pay for a commercial seat. For 30 years it was the only serious option, so everyone just swallowed the cost. That era is over. Xalen Ephemeris is a full planetary engine written in pure Rust, with no unsafe in the core engine (the only unsafe lives in the optional FFI, Node and WASM binding crates), released under Apache-2.0. No C toolchain. No data files to ship. No copyleft clause waiting for the day you try to make money. It is built to replace Swiss Ephemeris in production, not to admire it from a distance. Python is live on PyPI and the Rust crates are live on crates.io: # Python pip install xalen # Rust cargo add xalen-ephem xalen-time xalen-ayanamsa xalen-vedic Node and WASM build straight from the repo. Repo: https://github.com/vedika-io/xalen-ephemeris Switching takes one line Xalen ships a pyswisseph-shaped API on purpose. Migrating an existing codebase is a find-and-replace: # before import swisseph as swe # after import xalen.swe as swe jd = swe . julday ( 1990 , 6 , 15 , 10.5 ) xx , ok = swe . calc_ut ( jd , swe . SUN , swe . FLG_SWIEPH | swe . FLG_SPEED ) # same argument order, same SE_/SEFLG_/SIDM_ constants, same tuple layout Your function calls do not change. Your data-file directory disappears. Your license problem disappears. Xalen vs Swiss Ephemeris Line them up and the gap is hard to miss. Swiss Ephemeris is C from the 1990s, shipped as a native library you compile and link, fed by .se1 data files you have to bundle and locate at runtime, under AGPL or a paid commercial license. Xalen is pure Rust with no unsafe in the core engine, thread-safe, with no native dependency and no data files for the analytical eng

Hello everyone, I've been working on a PyTorch library for solving Differential Algebraic Equations (DAEs) that supports vectorized execution and GPU acceleration. The library implements several algorithms that are not currently available in the Python ecosystem, including Generalized-Alpha integration, Dummy Derivatives index reduction, and adjoint sensitivity methods for DAEs. My motivation was to enable differentiable DAE simulation workflows in PyTorch for applications such as system identification, scientific machine learning, and physics-informed modeling. I'd be very interested in feedback on the numerical methods, API design, and potential ML use cases. GitHub: https://github.com/yousef-rafat/torchdae submitted by /u/Otaku_7nfy [link] [留言]
