Daisee (www.daisee.com) | Software Engineer, Devops, Data Scientists | Sydney, Australia or Melbourne, Australia | Full-time, ONSITE, no visa but vague chance of REMOTE for someone brilliant

Daisee makes NLP and computer vision products.

We make software for call centre operators to transcribe calls, and then do various kinds of analysis on the call text (e.g. whether the caller was expecting a call back, general sentiment of the call, predictors of a successful or unsuccessful call). We also help call centres offload voice volume on to chat. We also do predictive modelling for demand (not just in call centres: retail as well).

We also have various medical and architectural computer vision products, and some software engineering support products.

We are a well-funded startup with a long runway to support our current 20+ staff. We're making large $$$$ sales into enterprises most weeks. We have mature management (two ex-googlers are on the management team, including the former Australian general manager; the rest of the executive team have held senior roles across the banks, successful startups and a variety of other major corporations). You get the stability and mature culture of a large corporate job, but the interesting work and dynamic environment of a startup.

We have a team of data scientists already; I'm looking to hire one more, preferably with skills in computer vision.

I am looking to hire around 4-6 software developers to take on various projects. Back-end software development is mostly in Haskell, with some legacy Python. Front-end is the usual Javascript/CSS/HTML.

What I would like from a software developer is a lot of experience of working with data scientists and/or some machine learning skills yourself. Having taken projects through to production and supporting them there is also valuable.

Any skills around Genesys or IPscape (or other call centre systems) will get you straight to the top of the resume pile. JIRA or Salesforce plug-in development will also be appreciated. Medical imaging knowledge will be very highly valued as well.

Another interesting take on exactly this topic, also using Blink to SSH (Mosh) into a VPS: https://jann.is/ipad-pro-for-programming/

I run the set up from that article sometimes, which depends mostly on an app to connect to a VPS and running a Docker container with all your tooling there. In the end, that's all there is to it; Blink is a nice terminal app, and you're using it to do the actual work on a linux machine elsewhere.

By the way, I use the the standard wireless magic keyboard instead of the smart keyboard. It has an escape key, which is great for vim, and for me it feels better to type on being a ‘real’ keyboard with some travel and clicky keys.

This is actually a really good question.

It's a good flag of spin.

It seems absolutely not necessary until way way after robots have revolutionized society, without a expert commenting I say he doesn't get it or is just selling a product to naive consumers.
I am beyond sour on the Surface line -

I have championed it when it came out, and despite being in a hard position to pick one up I managed to do so.

I deeply deeply regret it.

If anything I have gone from being a massive supporter to actively doing what I can to spite the brand.

The product is an expensive laptop, which has such critical issues with it that it renders it inoperable.

Then when you need to try and talk to MSFT help, they are about as capable as toddlers. Politely unaware and unhelpful.

The surface line went from having a great rating, to having that rating revoked since it is unrepairable.

I want to love my device, I am using it right now, but there are serious issues with it, and this is a device which has been placed in the same context as apple products and their legendary support reputation./

The AMD-VIA-Intel patent cross licensing triumvirate has buyout, sellout, and a bunch of other miscellaneous prevention/mitigation clauses.

Essentially you cant just buy Intel, AMD, or VIA and acquire the rights to make x86/x86_64 processors. You could acquire a controlling or other majority ownership stake in one of the companies and then continue to run them as a wholly owned subsidiary.

In addition, Intel, AMD and VIA cant just license you the rights either. However you could enter into a Joint Venture with Intel, AMD, or VIA as a ‘passive partner’ whereby the subsidiary has inherited access to the technology. This route has been undertaken without legal repercussions so far to VIA. Zhaoxin is a joint venture between VIA Technologies and the Shanghai Municipal Government, and has so far produced a line of x86 compatible processors on a 28nm process for the Chinese domestic market that are apparently performance competitive.

Apple has more than enough cash to fund a joint venture with AMD or VIA that could enable them to bypass any possible complaints from Intel about emulation violating their intellectual property. Apple could take this route to build an ARM based processor that had sufficient x86_64 helpers to speed things up enough that the translation/emulation performance was negligible. Heck they could use this to design their own entire x86_64 CPUs and if it was with AMD they could borrow a GPU core they are familiar with too.

At the end of the day, Apple has enough money they can basically do anything they want with regards to technology.

The challenge will be successful execution in the face of a market that has become increasingly immune to the reality distortion field Apple projects, the demise of Steve Jobs significantly decreased the power of Apple to distort reality in a way that is consistently in its favour. Not so much of a ‘If Steve was still at Apple’ as simply ‘Apple isn’t the same now, and this changes the mathematics of the situation’.
"I am able to do X." "It is now easier for you to be able to do X." "I am unable to do X." "It is now easier for you to be unable to do X." The latter makes no sense. Moving from the impossible to the possible isn't an easing, it's a fundamental change in the nature of a thing.
It's quite funny that we share the host names Helium and Caesium. My Linux machines are radioactive because I tinker with them a lot and am bound to reinstall every few months.
I think Icomera’s bus WiFi systems also use 1.1.1.1 somewhere in the hotspot process.

TBH, I’m not surprised, and this definitely isn’t the first time something like this has happened. For example, Hamachi (before being bought by LogMeIn) squatted on 5.0.0.0/8, and then (when 5.0.0.0/8 got allocated) on 25.0.0.0/8 (which was already allocated to the British MoD).

This is really nothing new, and now that I think of it, not really surprising!

Even with the other Panera-related threads that made the front page, this is a good read because I was wondering how exactly (and how thoroughly) the researcher attempted to contact Panera -- seems he went above and beyond just trying a few emails to the customer support line. Panera definitely had plenty of warning here.
Model 3 production is absolutely critical and Tesla's future is in real danger.

The future of Tesla is completely tied to the high production volumes of Model 3 at this point. The debt is piling up and rated as junk.

The low production goal 2500 was missed by 20 percent and it's not even certain if they can keep it up for a week at this point. Their November 2017 target was 5000 per week at this point.

The production will face new problems that are more expensive to fix when they ramp up the volume more. Producing 5000/week six months from now is
in jeopardy. If they miss that, Model 3 will be the last car Tesla produces with Musk in charge.

Tesla uses radar, and are working on improving their radar to return point clouds just like lidar does.

Even then, cameras are enough for accurately mapping the world around the car, it’s just that Tesla’s state of the art has not matched the academic proofs of concept that have been demonstrated over the last few years.

Linux has always had issues on laptop hardware. Poor power management, inability to switch between integrated and discrete video, lack of hardware support (eg fingerprint readers). It seems that for every one of these issues that gets fixed a new one appears.

That said you can get some decent laptops now with full Linux support. You have to stick to that hardware though.
The demo appears to be a reference/homage to Candide Thovex's One of Those Days videos. Including the helicopter jump [1], which was apparently real [2].

"booting both under the same revision of the same OS"

It should be irrelevant in Apple's case anyway since they run their own OS. If their OS is faster for a certain task than some other OS then that's part of what you would define as "faster" for a user of the device.

Right? Am I missing something?
Most of the jobs I have worked at required a desktop workstation running Windows 10. While perhaps not a tablet, I’d love to have the sort of work where doing everything over SSH would be possible.
It's fair to some extent. The human brain is vastly more complex, so I don't love the comparison. However, with very modern machine learning which is based on deep neural networks, even though the source code is simple, it produces a very complex neural network after training on data. That network is very hard to understand and predict.

Even with simpler algorithms, you might argue that in a complex environment they could have some emergent behavior that's hard to foresee based on the source code. For example, if one is not careful then even simple linear regression on some datasets can "learn" techniques like redlining -- using zip code as a proxy for race as a part of biased predictions.
Redirects are fine as long as they aren't HSTS preloaded - you can open it in an incognito window if your browser has cached the redirect.

I usually use gstatic.com, which does redirect, but also gstatic.com/generate_204 is Chrome's own capive portal test page and does not redirect. There's also msftncsi.com, which (/ncsi.txt) is Microsoft's test page.

Time is such a lousy metric for things like that. I get so much more out of an hour with my mother than I would have when I was 6.

That 5% of time may be a significant portion of the experience (for lack of a better word).
This is precisely why calling the webserver "webserver" isn't a great idea. The guy who called the webserver "webserver" seems kind of lazy. This guy probably isn't going to bother renaming it when it turns into "webserver plus some other services". And if later "webserver" stops hosting the actual webserver because it's overloaded, this guy isn't going to lose sleep calling the new webserver host "real-webserver".
There are some out there, but not at the commercial/industrial level. Like you said, higher risk along with added shipping cost keeps them out of the mainstream. Also the need for lightweight UPS systems for servers is pretty low. One bad thing if a lead battery is involved in a fire is the spreading of lead contamination, that's not cheap to clean up, but it's low probability.
I must be missing something here: "The ODNS server can thus return the answer to the client’s stub resolver directly, possibly over a confidential channel such as D-TLS."

How does this not just move the trust problem to the ODNS server? Doesn't it now know both the requesting IP and the requested domain?

I agree. In this case I think extra factors must be taken into consideration.

First is the "violation of least surprise" principle. Linux as a UNIX is traditionalist to a fault, sometimes obsessively so beyond what is helpful. Scrolling is typically done inverted in X11.

So, that means this would need to be a configurable option.

From the standpoint you're talking (where the comparison is to macOS), now you're in UI territory, which has typically never been one of Linux's strong points.

Someone has go build the UI, but then that'll only be for one given desktop environment, and so now you have duplication of work. Unless every DE does that work, if you're not using one of the DEs that has done the work - well, you get no radio selection group or dropdown or whatever.

There are very real reasons why Linux isn't best in class. The politics, infighting and greybeard traditionalism does more to hurt the "it just works" flow other environments have.

(Note that I'm not saying "politics", "infighting" and "greybeard traditionalism" are the same thing; they're very different groups and issues, but they combine to form stalemates and inertial cancellations. For example, when traditionalism met systemd, the result was a vicious catfight instead of unified action. Things could have worked out where the community met Red Hat's lobbying with a list of terms and requirements. Nah; everyone just threw their hands up in the air and screamed instead. This is what's broken in Linux. I think KDE had it sorted in 1999 when they pragmatically grabbed the still-closed-source Qt and made a desktop environment out of it. Then GNOME came along and drowned everyone more political overhead than the W3C and Internet working groups combined, and user experience is definitively worse for GTK ever being created.)

Putting a person, who majored in music theory, into the Information Security Officer position at a company of Equifax's size, shows how much they actually regard your information as something important.

I actually dislike bringing this up, because I respect the people the have gone through music education; while it doesn't pay in terms of salary, it's certainly something they are passionate about and love dearly. But just as they would not hire me to direct an orchestra, I would not hire them to secure critical Financial systems. This isn't to say there is a fault with them, it's just to say that we all have our strengths in certain areas.
Hostility and Online Discourse
In the past I have used stringed instruments: "lute", "banjo", "dobro", etc. Recently it seems I just have a single Linux box at each location, which server is named "box".
Woah. I just tried a search (that originally didn't find what I wanted) with "Verbatim" selected and I found what I was looking for.

I don't know if it will hold up for other searches, but so far so good.
Sure. But even if we removed the money, there would still be power, tribalism, fame, hatred, and all sorts of -isms to fill in the gaps and corrupt officials and regulations. I am pretty skeptical that empowering officials to regulate money doesn't just result in a new form of corruption.

I'd rather we make the government more focused and responsibilities more specific. We need to remove the incentives for throwing money into politics rather than try to play corruption whack-a-mole.
Well, as Thomas Kuhn said, science tends to proceed incrementally under normal circumstances. When science reaches a crisis, then there is a tendency to look towards solutions outside the normal paradigms.

Conveniently, computer programming and invention offer other ways for what the OP called "tinkers" to demonstrate the effectiveness of their ideas. Science is imperfect, especially isn't necessarily about the latest, most exciting ideas but about making ideas reliable and the problem with being willing to quickly accept even plausible-sounding ideas is that they can also include a lot of dreck. But hey, there are many alternatives to scientific acceptance.

“My work time breaks down like this, on average:

50% communicating with clients, translating their requirements into actionable, incremental tasks, researching solutions.

25% reading code, my own, legacy code I inherited, and code from programmers I’ve hired.

25% writing and testing code.
The main tools I use on the iPad Pro:

Inbox (GMail client)
Skype and Hangouts
Slack
Blink (ssh client that support mosh, a real timesaver)

Textastic (code editor with Working Copy and sftp)
Dash (offline documentation)
Google Drive, Sheets, and Docs
Google Keep, for notes, to-do lists, saving web sites”

So, no, that is not accurate.
I'm pretty sure ML eventually eats the programming cake, though it might not be in our lifetimes. Definitely by the time we have developed FTL travel.

We have reached a very pronounced local maxima with our current programming practices and ecosystems. Reinvention can get us out of that, though is more likely to fail than not.
You can share 'MP3' to Dropbox as well, then play them there. It's still a paid, but in dire situations it works.
I hear what you're saying, but the only way to get this industry to take customer data security seriously is to shame them. Fast food operations place a spotlight on food safety now, as a result of several high-profile outbreaks in the past. The same thing needs to happen for data security.

Sometimes I think that they haven't added this because it would mean less macbook sales.
I think if they had gone with their first take on it, where the AI even cries, the movie would be much less famous. I think that's not terribly believable. Emotion has a strong visceral component.

The possibility of somehow adding emotion to an AI was explored in I, Robot. But I suspect that robots and computers as emotionless intelligence fits with them not being organic, living creatures. I don't think it is mere coincidence that the word feeling applies to both emotion and tactile sensation.
I remember in a previous job the IT guys started using superhero names for the machines. They were even grouped by which universe the heroes come from (marvel, dc, etc).

Even when they did descriptive names, it was all backwards like <instanceID>-<env>-<role>-<project> yielding things like 2-dev-db-something. Trying to explain how that made sorting machines by name impossible was alien speak to them.

I think the reason programmers are better with names is that we get to name many, many more things. Variables, functions, parameters, namespaces, endpoints, the list just goes on both in the small and the large.

Right, there are still virtual desktops in the form of Spaces, of course. Sorry for being vague.

I was referring to the ability to set up virtual desktops in a 2D grid, which was removed in OS X Lion. I got very used to a 3x3 grid of desktops where I can move around with Control + arrows. No animations, just instantly switching to another desktop. That is what I now use TotalSpaces2 for.
