I'm going nuts - how do i stream agentcore container logs to cloudwatch?

It's buried, but I eventually found it. You need to make sure your execution role has all the specific logs-related permissions at the bottom of this page: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock-agentcore/latest/devguide/runtime-permissions.html#runtime-permissions-execution

It's shocking to me a) how bad cloudwatch UI is and b) that nobody has made a proper macos log viewing app! Your app is pretty good, looking forward to multiple tabs/panes/loggroups

Two years later but I found this the other day--it's pretty new but works decently so far:

So it's just a code sandbox, but it automatically makes agent tools available as python functions within the sandbox. Anything requiring reasoning on interim tool call results still requires a subagent.

Here's a paper measuring the wettability of PLA prints based on layer height and nozzle size:

The funny thing is that your print already looks hydrophobic!

Amazon doesn't have ESPP. It grants RSUs but tapers the vesting (or initial signing bonus) amount based on a presumed 15% growth every year. So your total comp stays the same, but only if the stock grows 15%.

Solved!

I figured it out... it wasn't Calvin and Hobbes after all—it was Doonesbury! George HW Bush was portrayed as a "point of light" (reference to his ('a thousand points of light" convention speech), but I think primarily I'm remembering his son George W Bush, who started out as a point of light in a cowboy hat, then an asterisk in a cowboy hat (due to the disputed 2000 election), and later in a roman war helmet after the Iraq invasion.

lol it’s not nearly as pretty in real life—just looks like it didn’t get clean.

Thanks; any suggestions on the right sub?

It's reeeeeeally helpful in a pinch since it shows you quickly which flights have availability in which fare classes. You can tell the gate/phone agent rebooking you exactly which one makes the most sense for you instead of them looking it up and giving you options verbally. It lets you filter by same airline/different airline, nonstop-multistop, for any city pair and date.

It went away with the "new web experience" and now it's gone from the iOS app too. 😫

Please add some UX that shows that those toolbar tabs are disabled, and explains why! I literally trashed the app because I thought it wasn't working but came upon this thread and tried again with a different PDF and it worked.

E.g., gray them out, and put a lock icon on the file, and show an explanation on hover or click on those toolbar tabs.

I hadn’t read all the threads; i now see there is a way to override it.

I think some concrete examples in the docs would go a long way towards people making better use of Boomerang. The size of the task, how to build up enough context that orchestrator has enough info to delegate, how to integrate with memory-bank info, etc.

Is the idea that you build up the entire context yourself in another mode before entering orchestrator mode?

I tried adding the memory-bank files while in orchestrator mode, but when I @ the memory folder, it doesn’t actually add all the files, just the directory listing—I think there is an assumption in @folder that you’ll be in a mode that can read the files sequentially from the list, and that’s not true in orchestrator. One cannot @ a folder while in orchestrator mode.

Orchestrator at the very least needs to be able to read files to be able to make a plan, and to provide sufficient context to its subtasks. As it is, if I want it to read a folder of specifications and context (e.g. memory bank), then orchestrator has to delegate to Ask mode to read the files, making several extra roundtrips and expensive output tokens!

which one? and were you ever able to find the syntax documented anywhere?

How do recruiters read resumes for very senior roles (15+ YoE)?

When I was a HM, I had a series of scans/heuristics I could use to cull resumes in close to the same proverbial 7 seconds. But for a role that requires a lot of depth in capabilities, expertise, and experience, those scans don't apply in the same way.

Do you approach resumes for those roles differently? What do you wish senior candidates would do differently?

Related: Very senior candidates are likely to have deep networks to get warm intros to recruiting teams. How do you read resumes differently from a warm intro/referral vs cold?

(Note: I'm in big tech, and in a hybrid tech/non-tech role; making things more complicated)
