But by that logic, woudn't Facebook have to reveal, in detail, the analysis pipeline they plan (or actually don't plan) to use to detect your emotions and link them to the content shown? They didn't do that, did they?

(The example is kind of absurd as that technology is pretty horrible, but reports about pre-emptive patents seem to crop up with some regularity)
Am I the only one that finds this scary?

As I have repeatedly said, so far the intelligence we have been producing is NOT the kind that applies abstract logic rules to figure out meaning.

It is the kind that takes full advantage of computers' strengths: perfect copying and speed.

So good ideas are copied and propagate. Neural networks are just this on steroids... basically extracting signals from noise and doing a search in a space to maximize something, and storing the results.

Humans were able to transmit knowledge, then produce books etc. Now bits can be perfectly copied with checksums.

This isn't general intelligence in the human sense. But that's what makes it scary. It can solve these problems with brute force. Resistance soon may really be futile. Not just in running, avoiding capture and death. But also in ANY human system we rely on, including voting, due process of law, trust, reputation, family, sex, humor, etc.
Get your own attorney. Seriously, the consultation is free.

This is my standard advice: Write down everything that happened, in order. Be brief but don't leave important facts out. This is important so you can clearly lay out your claims, your actions, what you can prove, etc. You don't want to be in the lawyer's office forgetting pieces of your story. You lived this; he/she didn't. Notate this timeline with where you have supporting documents. Bring the above to a couple different attorneys for a free consultation. You can find them with the local bar association or, if you've used a lawyer for anything, he or she will be able to recommend a colleague in the right area.
No, it isn't monopolistic. Look at ad prices continuously going down.

"Monopoly" isn't a buzz word that you throw around randomly. It doesn't even have to do necessarily with market share or control or the market.

There is no monopoly on the ad space, not by very, very far.

Berlin was calling to me. There were somethings about SF I didn't like, but it wasn't so much "I moved out of SF" as "I moved in to a new city."
Pedantic, but "legend" isn't subjective. A legend to some is a legend to all. What is subjective is what each person thinks of legendary people.
Sounds perfect for me. There's a lot less to consider walking in 60-65 than 70+ - half the time I don't walk to work because I don't want to show up sweaty and have to change. I'm from Michigan, though (SoCal now) so maybe your point stands haha.
I don't know anything about the investments, but I'm guessing a variety around providing human diagnostic testing that will be the basis for medical decisions.
I wouldn't mind the Electron "Skype for Linux", if it wasn't a pile of crap. If you're going to retire an app for a replacement, make sure the replacement is on parity or better with the original native client. Microsoft has been doing very well in the Linux space since their new CEO, but this is dumb move.
Your C code is already executed by the CPU in a JIT optimized way because of the way the x86 architecture is implemented on the CPU. What more proof do you want?! :)
Same here, until the recent weeks. Suddenly it started having issues where messages don't show up until I restart the client, while they show up fine on my mobile.

It's certainly a business move to make Linux experience worse, I doubt MS can't put some dedicated engineers and have a proper app.

Show HN: Moonshot – a podcast exploring the biggest ideas in tech
Don't forget about Chicago, which is worst of all in the brainwashing department. I can't find the source sadly, but there's a crazy statistic about girls who grow up in Chicago being somewhere around 10x more likely to return to their hometown compared to their counterparts anywhere else in the US.
This will also help anyone who wants to transition from the non-profit world where salaries are much lower.
Hi everyone,

I just wanted to show you all the podcast I've been working on.

It's called Moonshot - and explores the biggest ideas in tech and the people working to make them a reality.

Our first episode covered 'The Race to Mars' and our second episode dives into Artificial General Intelligence. We're really trying distill some of these really complex ideas and make them accessible for people who don't know that much about tech - but still interesting for those who do. It's similar to something like Reply All or Start-up - but much shorter. We're aiming for around 15-25minutes per episode.

In the first couple of episodes we've got some great interviews - including Black AI, Kara Swisher, Kevin Rose, even someone that was in a Mars simulation. We've also done interviews with other founders including Michael Pryor (Trello) and Moon Ribas (Cyborg Foundation) which will be coming up in future episodes. (I'm actually thinking of breaking these interviews out into bonus episodes as they're super interesting.)

It's still a work in progress and we're working on refining the format - but just wanted to share it with you and get your feedback. Also keen to get any recommendations you may have for guests or topics we should cover.

Many thanks,
Kris
>For example, 5-10 years as a Certified Public Accountant before working at a fintech company. Or working as a nurse then going to a healthtech company"

Can you explain how being a CPA would help give you seniority in a software engineer role at a Fin Tech company or how nursing experience would help give you seniority as a software engineer at a health based tech company?

Isn't being "senior" in this context of software engineering specific to your role and not the industry as a whole? I guess I'm failing to see the transitive relationship. If I previously worked as taxi driver would that help me as an SWE at Uber? Or if I worked in retail would that best me as as an SWE at Amazon?
And the venal election system that put them in charge, and the social order that creates vast power and wealth imbalances.
Maybe rather than being about difficulty, it has to do with patents? No idea, just a hunch.
'In the air-conditioned lounge I met a man from Houston who said his name was something or other — “but just call me Jimbo” — and he was here to get it on.'

I absolutely hate this style of journalism. It might have been fresh once, as a contrast with the then dominant writing style. Unfortunately in general it's a pain to read how it was hot and dusty and how the author caught a bus to get into the hotel lobby and meet with whomever he's interviewing during this hot and humid evening... just get to the fucking interview already, you moron.
The all-time winner of this story are the exchanges… There's just a one way money-in possibility!

> it's not really much of an advantage over docx having zipped XML.

a plain-text light-markup file -- easily read, parsed, and rewritten when necessary by a plethora of apps (text-editors, spell-checkers, grammar-checkers, link-checkers, sanitizers, validators, on and on) -- is a big advantage (gargantuan!) over a complex xml-format document stored in a .zip container.

and editing and ease-of-use (and re-use and repurposability) is much friendlier as well.
Get Camfrog. For simple 1v1 video chat and chat rooms, nothing beats it, period, and it's free for pretty much every use excepting A. visiting multiple chat rooms at the same time and B. Seeing more than one person at a time in said chat rooms (pond chats are different.) One of the rare programs I actually pay for instead of cracking the crap out of it.
Untrue. Also untrue that you need funding-- you can replace funding with a brutal workload and a lot of patience. I did it, ask me how, haha.

I mean, don't get me wrong, you are gonna sign up to be broke. For a while. A lot of people have kinda boxed themselves in with a very comfortable middle-to-upper-middle class lifestyle that closes a lot of doors via their household burn rate. That's not the system being out to get you, that's a perfectly valid life choice that you and you alone are responsible for.
"Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas" is one of the best books I've ever read. I made the mistake of reading it on an airplane on my first trip out to Las Vegas. The book is so funny that I'm sure the people sitting next to me thought I had a few screws loose because I kept laughing so hard.
I've never heard of those two things being conflated.
I use Skype for Business and not only is it very poorly coded/architected, but the design paradigms actually make communication harder.

I think part of this is because of company/domain knowledge. It may not be that the person is necessarily "senior" level generic technological talent, but they have built up deep knowledge of the companies systems to become a key part of the team's brain trust. I feel like I see this leading to title advancement just as much as technical aptitude. The flipside is that it is somewhat specific to the exact employer, but it should signal ability and willingness to become an expert of the company's product domain. A lot of times I think that is more valuable than raw technical ability anyway, but it's harder to interview for.
I don't understand it either, and HN's response is equally puzzling. When I initially reported yay there's a decent license I got showered with upvotes. Now that I've added an edit to say actually no the license is still terrible I'm getting showered with downvotes. It's not my fault the license is terrible and we've already had tons of people chime in previously to complain about the terrible "license" for these great products.
Completely agree. But the tools don't make this very easy.

Back in college I was working on patches to OpenSSL, Chrome, Firefox, Apache, etc., to add support for TLS-SRP, and it was a huge pain to jump into these massive codebases and try to understand them. I was using Emacs and had all of the various language support modes configured, but go-to-definition and cross-references barely worked. Searching was slow, and if I wanted to discuss a piece of code with my CS lab partners, I couldn't just share a link.

A friend felt the same pain but then went to work at Google for a bit. At Google, they have some pretty amazing code reading/searching tools (see https://static.googleusercontent.com/media/research.google.c...), and these tools helped Google build a culture of thoroughly reading and reviewing code. The causality is bidirectional, but having good tools certainly played a role in Google's success.

That friend and I ended up building a product, Sourcegraph, initially for ourselves to make code reading easier. We've now built a successful business out of it with the help of an amazing team. Here it is pulling in the OpenBSD sources: https://sourcegraph.com/github.com/openbsd/src/-/blob/lib/li.... Sourcegraph has advanced features for several languages; see https://sourcegraph.com/github.com/mholt/caddy/-/blob/caddyh..., for example. If you love to read code (or want to), we hope you'll love our product. Email me if you have any feedback/requests.
The benchmark showing a factor 100x compares a pure python implementation of "pidigits" running in PyPy3 vs one that uses GMP (via gmpy2) in python. I am actually impressed it's only a factor 100. And with progress made by cffi, I'd hopeful that a GMP-using PyPy version could be written rhat matches the speed of the code using gmpy2.

The next benchmark "only" runs 6x slower in PyPy ; still bad, but that paints quite a differen picture.
By definition any sort of "light" markup is going to mean you can't support anywhere near as many features as Word does.

No one is talking of chat logs. My Skype logs with my brother are incredibly important and go back several years as we live on separate continents but pretty close nonetheless. This would be horrible -- if I hadn't switched to Windows 10 thanks to Windows Subsystem for Linux.

More and more I find myself reasoning about competitive advantage and stuff like that-- whenever I put up with something really unpleasant, I think "Hey, how many of my competitors did I just shake off?"

If everybody got funded, I think the market would just devalue ownership of a company, since, with the barriers to entry knocked down, it wouldn't mean as much. Think about the erosion of the market value on a college education over the years.
I went there for training, I recall I bought a two day ticket for hop-on, hop-off tour that was more than enough for SF, and regarding the bay area I took the Caltrain and I went to one stop each day from SF to San Jose. I was lucky to visit FB at Menlo Park thanks to friend that is working there.
That very much depends on what are your requirements. If you need all the stuff skype supported originally - chat, voice, video, screen sharing etc. then I don't have a solution I'm afraid, particularly if you need support for various operating systems.

What we need for the internal communication (within the company) is a simple IM, integrated with ticketing system (a bunch of generic rooms, per-ticket rooms, linking from tickets, ...). We're pretty much set on using Mattermost for that, which has the advantage of being self-hosted.

For voice (typically group calls with other engineers) we'll probably stick with Skype for now (I the Android app on my phone for that). For meetings with customers we usually use a regular service with dial-in anyway.

We don't do video, and I don't think I've needed screen sharing in the last few years.

Dev Search Hub: Helping entrepreneurs solve the developer dilemma
Hello!

I am totally new here and was hoping to come ask for some feedback on a website I just created. It's called Developer Search Hub. I'm thinking it's near completion but I wanted to get some honest thoughts from real people before I call it ready. It's a service intended to connect people who need software work with independent contractors or software companies to complete their projects. I reached out to as many developers as I could and found some interest for what I am trying to setup. After launch, I plan to create a page for new developers to apply to be part of DSH, but for now I've got a good group that can cover a wide scope of work. I wanted a simple feel for the user, as this site is mainly geared towards those with an idea but not much technology experience. I used Typeform for the questionnaire for that purpose also.

www.devsearchhub.com

I'd love to hear any comments, positive or negative, or advice. Thank you for taking the time to read my post! =)

Robots in the Kitchen – IEEE Transmitter
To understand Silicon Valley, you really need to see the peninsula and the South Bay.

I’d spend a day, start with breakfast at Hobees in Sunnyvale or Cupertino, check out 1 Infinite Loop, drive around the Google campus area, _maybe_ stop at the NASA Ames visitor center.

Drive down to San Jose to see that peculiar city, and have lunch at yeh newish San Pedro Square Market or SoFA market - or the classics like Henry’s Hi-Life or Original Joe’s.

Maybe check out the old-school tech beomoths like Intel.

Spend some time at the Computer History Museum (and the food trucks there on Friday evenings!). That could be a day trip in itself.

Skip the Tech Museum in San Jose (it’s a great museum, but its not something unmissable if you’re short on time).

End your day with a trip to one of the peninsula city centers and have a meal at a place with good Yelp reviews. I’d recommend Dish Dash in Sunnyvale.

That’s not the most touristy or startup-focused of trips, but you’ll see the Silicon Valley that’s really lived in by the people that make their homes here.
CS:APP 3rd (64bit) edition http://csapp.cs.cmu.edu/

Lectures for it are here:
https://scs.hosted.panopto.com/Panopto/Pages/Sessions/List.a...

This teaches you C, x86-64 arch, stuff like two's complement integers and floating point, how memory and CPUs work, how the C compiler works (linking stage, preprocessor), and how to write/understand signals and processes, file I/O, network code ect.

After that you can just start reading the OpenBSD code and will figure it out or get an Andrew S Tanenbaum book on Operating Systems.

Note, if you buy the Pearson Global Edition of CS:APP (it's only 10% the reg price) there's a lot of errata you will have to check. I once got stuck reversing an assembly program into C that did an even/odd parity check because of a print error returning the final XOR'd value & 0 instead of & 1.

That's sole proprietorship or partnership vs a publicly traded company.

There are a number of examples on Wall Street, e.g. Goldman Sachs, where when they were partnerships, the partners were personally liable for company losses and the firm provably was taking fewer risks than once it became a publicly traded company. The organizational make up of a company can affect the distribution of liability, and that can lead to the company making different choices than it otherwise would.

Actually "the today i ffff up hash" is a pretty cool name for tifuhash, like a backronym.

It's probably more memorable / mimetic than "tiny fast universal". And memorable wad one of my original goals, but i was referring to the source code!

As well as so many people naming it "today i ..." hash, there's the other comment saying i ought not use the technical term universal.... Maybe it works for me to take the hint and just change the name to today i fucked up hash. Somebody open a PR!

I guess future versions can be named like "Wednesday i fucked up hash"... Or maybe now I'm just getting distracted by this name.

CSV is good because it's simple (easy to read, easy to implement, hard to break) and it's ubiquitous. If you're just trying to dump data without knowing/caring what the consuming application will be it's a fine choice. By using XLSX you've both lost that ubiquity and introduced a world of headache -- it's a lot easier to break XLSX export than CSV export.

For concrete examples CSV is best when you want to release the data from your system but really have no idea what the client wants to do. Maybe they just want to curl it and display it, maybe they want to process it with R. It's a very easy way to say "here's your data, my job is done".
Not that there isn't a whole industry revolving around bleeding you white, keeping you chained to the oars by debt until you're no longer useful. Those issues are orthogonal.... I think.

But Skype was awful as well.

The Android and iOS experience with all of them was much less flakey.
As someone that is teaching themselves Machine learning solving problems with "brute force" doesn't actually happen and Neural Networks are a way around using brute force.
It seems that you are caught in the hype around machine learning. Systems that can copy ANY human system are very far off. Also, there are human systems where AI's would not be found to be acceptable.
> It is simple and designed only to satisfy an editor's needs.

But isn't that exactly the point of the post? The approach is nice for editors but unsuitable for IDEs.

> You can try to make it work for N languages, but the (N+1)th language always has some new language or syntax element that requires you to either change the specification (and update the N previous implementations) or deal with hacks (which goes against the whole reason to design the "one schema to rule them all").

Seems to me LSP has the exact same problem with use-cases. By the description of the post, the goal seems to be to solve a fixed set of use-cases (highlighting, autocompletion, etc) for a flexible set of languages. If you want to add use-case n+1, you're faced with the same rewrite/hack conundrum.
