Unmasking Motion AI Assistant: Under the Hood - AI Scheduling
Benny Friedman · Follow 6 min read · -- This is an entry from the Not Magic, Just Math newsletter, published 10/29/2024 Not Magic, Just Math Edit description nmjm.beehiiv.com This week, I thought I’d take a break from our deep dive into ML Typologies and try something new. I want to introduce a fresh “field note” series called Under the Hood, where we take an “AI software” and try to deduce how the system works — and how I would build it from scratch.
“But Rabbi, Today is Not Tisha B’Av“
By Benny Friedman My grandfather, Rabbi Sholom Gordon of blessed memory, was many things. Among those many things, he was a self-diagnosed “Teffilin addict.” Wherever he went, he went with a pair of Teffilin, just in case he would run into a fellow Jew who hadn’t yet put on Teffilin that day. One day, as he was making his tireless rounds through one of three hospitals where he was the Jewish chaplain, he asked a Jew he saw if he would put on Teffilin. “Rabbi,” said the man.

10 performance engineering mistakes to avoid
Applications are evolving at a blistering pace, and today's users expect equally fast performance. Nearly half (46%) of users say they will abandon an app if doesn't load in three seconds or less. If your apps have the right look and feel but don't live up to expectations as they scale, users will simply dump your apps and switch to a competitor.
What it is, why you need it
Performance issues don't just happen; they're designed into the software. That's not because software engineers are malicious—it's because they're human. They make reasonable assumptions about the software they write, and that's where they stumble. How sure can you be about those assumptions? Do you have any idea how your system will perform and where the bottlenecks will turn up before coding starts?

Vayera in a Nutshell
The name of the Parshah, "Vayera," means "And He appeared" and it is found in Genesis 18:1. G‑d reveals Himself to Abraham three days after the first Jew’s circumcision at age ninety-nine; but Abraham rushes off to prepare a meal for three guests who appear in the desert heat. One of the three—who are angels disguised as men—announces that, in exactly one year, the barren Sarah will give birth to a son. Sarah laughs. Abraham pleads with G‑d to spare the wicked city of Sodom.
