The Mind of John McPhee – A deeply private writer reveals his obsessive process
As a transoceanic sailor I'm still shocked by how little our Navy knows about seamanship. Complete disregard for colregs, disregard for other vessels in confined spaces, and just general lack of knowledge on navigation. From talking with other sailors our Navy is like the elephant in a china shop. An angry, armed elephant deathly afraid of little mice.

USCG on the other hand are pretty great. Ocean rescue gives way to drug enforcement so I know not everyone has a good experience with them. My few interactions with the Coast guard have been courteous and uneventful.

This is scarily close to how intelligence agencies infer information. If you ever wonder why government is so clandestine about even unclassified bits of data, consider how they could be used when combined. As someone else said, just imagine if they focused their efforts on something useful. Intelligence agencies basically are focusing on "something useful".
Via Transportation (https://ridewithvia.com) | New York, NY | Full-time Onsite

Via is re-engineering public transit—from a regulated system of rigid routes and schedules to a fully dynamic, on-demand network. The Via algorithm matches, in real time, multiple passengers headed the same way with a single large SUV or van. Passengers request rides through a mobile app, and Via’s systems instantly select and, if necessary, re-route the vehicle that best matches the passenger’s route. Targeting the gap between outdated public transit and expensive luxury car services, the Via platform currently operates in New York City and Chicago, has provided more than four million rides, and is growing rapidly.

We're looking for entrepreneurs who are excited about getting in on the ground floor of a fast-growing start-up; imaginative thinkers who relish wearing multiple hats and never back down from a challenge.

We're unusually selective in our hiring process. If you have a record of exceptional achievement, take intense pride in your work, and want to join a world-class team, we’d love to talk to you.

Ask HN: I have marketing XP, how can I leverage it for a web dev career?
Hello everyone,

I have been doing online marketing for 3-5 years (mostly SEO and a bit of AdWords management) but I would like to program for my next job.
I would be interested to know on what I should more focus on (technology/stack/a project to show) to get a job and how could I leverage my experience in SEO for my resume.

I have rarely (ever?) seen a job that requires both knowledge; but maybe I have not been looking at the right place.

Some background:

I have "programmed" for fun for probably 10 years (PHP, JavaScript, python) and while I have some WordPress plugins in production, I don't have any impressive project. I don't believe I have the level of a professional programmer; so I would need to work on that.

I am located in Western Europe (if that helps).

Thanks everyone in advance.
You're lengstrom from Github! I must let you know your models are exactly what I used! I don't have a beefy GPU so I was forced to use what you already had, haha.

For everyone reading, these guys coded up the neural network I used, all I did was port it to a different library. :)

Eagerly waiting for the Tensorfire API!
That was just an example. Just substitute "sentient being" for "hydrogen atom" and you'll see what I'm getting at..
Something's going to have to give here. Between budget and scope, one or the other will have to change in order to increase staffing, sleep, training, and maintenance and reduce errors like this. It's only going to get worse in the future, too. China is interested in the South China Sea, Russia is interested in Eastern Europe, and North Korea may come to a head soon, so scope of operations won't be decreasing. Procurement of the F-35, Columbia SSBNs, FFX frigates, and Ford class carriers (and that's only the Navy!) means that there's going to be less budget to go around too. Something is going to have to give.
> But what about quantum computers? It would seem to me like their inherent nondeterministic behaviour would be an ideal fit for simulating other nondeterministic quantum systems.

true, but in this case now you either need a computer the size of the universe to simulate the universe in real time, or you can simulate a universe in (incredibly small) fractions of real time in a system less than the size of the universe.

this doesn't even get around the state-storage problem - storing the state of a simulated universe (assuming literally zero-overhead) takes the entirety of the universe too.

> In any case, it doesn't sound like they found any real theoretical limitation, just a practical one.

and therein lies the kicker :)
Myths and Legends of SPF
And importantly, the photosensitive ganglion cells are most sensitive to blue wavelengths of light, which is why a lot of people recommend avoiding blue light at night.
Not a professional, but AIUI the issue was the the models were just incomplete. These black holes are too big to be stellar collapse remnants, so they must have formed in the early universe. We don't have a good model for that yet that produces even stuff like the CBR spectrum or galaxy mass distribution. Nonetheless one of the things that no one was looking for was these medium black holes, so the fact that it's been observed is "surprising" in the sense of good news: it further constrains the big bang models.

That no information exists is not a story.
I remember even in the 1980s, there were schools where the pay packages didn't look all that competitive. It's possible that there are grad students who have family support.
The thing that I find most frustrating about this thought-experiment is the one ridiculous argument that we statistically must be living in a simulation that pop-science keeps repeating (not this article, for once).

Here's the TL;DR: say you can simulate multiple universes in one universe, and at some point those simulated universes start simulating multiple universes, then you must end up with infinite universes at the bottom. So at any given moment you find yourself in a universe, statistically speaking it should be one of the simulated ones.

Which shouldn't take anyone more than a second to realise as complete bogus, because it's like saying "Let's say you have a cookie. If I break it in half, I have two. I can repeat this until I have infinite infinitesimal cookies. Since this is a much larger number of cookies, statistically speaking any time you have a cookie it must be one of the infinitesimally tiny cookies".
> The researchers calculated that just storing information about a couple of hundred electrons would require a computer memory that would physically require more atoms than exist in the universe.
Well, our universe appears to have found a way to store that same information on a couple of hundred electrons, so it might be that we find better methods going forward.

Your comment reminded me of this : https://qntm.org/responsibility
Just being honest here: I don't want a restaurant to survive or thrive because it can create a buzz. I want it to survive because it has good food. Good service is a nicety too. If it doesn't have those, I want it to fail. In all the products/services we create and consume, we should be focusing on providing quality rather than creating an appealing appearance that ultimately doesn't satisfy. I feel like real food has suffered in this way, just look at what has happened to Red Delicious apples and standard grocery tomatoes through the past decades. Very beautiful in appearance, but lacking in substance.
Looks like I'm getting the same results with Firefox on the same host PC as well.

Removing ICO securities complexities with the SAFT
(author here) Yes, bash can write NUL to stdout. But the point is that it can't store NUL in a string. You can't just replace \x01 from the last solution with \x00, e.g.

Try:

git log --pretty=format:$'%h\x00%s%\x00'

The string is truncated at the first NUL. Compare with:

git log --pretty=format:'%h%x00%s%x00'

This matters because not all tools support something like %x00 -- it's specific to git.

printf works because it's not storing NUL in a string, rather an escaped version, similar to echo -e '\x00' | od -c.

Also I don't see the difference between "real bash solution" and what I described. That's exactly what I do, but you can't escape the entire string because it would remove your markup.

I'd like to see a solution that is shorter but also correct against adversarial input like mine is.
Rich Men with Extreme Politics Have the Happiest Marriages
When I got my iMac the biggest change for me was the lack of clutter in my office. It was amazing. Part of that was the small Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, but the rest was the box with all the cables trailing from it. It was a true breath of fresh air.
I've hypothesized that in a simulation, "others" in your world may just be permutations of "you" in some sense. That everyone you interact with is actually a creation spawned by "your" entity. It's one of the reasons dogs and owners frequently look alike -- because their origin is from the same logic, and that connectivity yields inherent similarities for entities created to have some degree of symbiosis.

It's crazy -- and certainly wrong. But so is all of this.

CapitalOne | Applied Solutions Architect | NYC, Wilmington DE, MacLean VA | Onsite

You believe that code speaks louder than PowerPoint, and that the best solutions are arrived at by engineers working collaboratively on a problem rather than by mandate. You look forward to finding that obscure race condition in code review. You have multiple solutions for no-downtime deployment of distributed customer facing systems, and can list pros and cons of each. You’d rather re-use a good solution than re-invent the wheel. You are open minded to different technical solutions, but forceful in questioning their merit. You get equally excited about a product feature that will make customers’ lives better, and about the latest Docker release. You want to jump in and contribute code whenever possible.

As an Applied Solutions Architect at CapitalOne, you will be facilitating engineering guilds; reviewing, sharing, and enhancing reference implementations; providing feedback on application designs; providing input on company-wide initiatives; embedding in engineering teams to jump start complex projects; and helping raise the talent bar by recruiting and hiring top engineering talent. You will also work with product owners to articulate benefits of proposed solutions; influence technical roadmap of enterprise platforms; and help business prioritize work. If this sounds exciting, the Applied Solutions Architect role could be for you!

The person we’re looking for:
Is passionate about hands-on coding, testing, releasing, monitoring, and supporting working software in production
Has depth and breadth of knowledge across multiple software engineering disciplines
Is self-driven, actively looks for ways to contribute, and knows how to get things done
Values data and truth over ego
Has a strong sense of engineering craftsmanship, takes pride in the code they write
Believes that good software development includes good testing, documentation, and collaboration
Has good communication and reasoning skills, including the ability to make a strong case for technology choices
Has ability to build consensus and iteratively improve solutions
Firmly believes in leading by influence and by adding value
