A couple days ago we were discussing on here how AI winter is coming and will likely arrive because of failure of driverless cars: https://blog.piekniewski.info/2018/05/28/ai-winter-is-well-o...

Are Waymo somehow much better at handling corner cases, identifying obstacles and their trajectories correctly and not having to disable emergency breaking to stop the car from randomly breaking at speed? Or are they just more careful/skilled with their marketing and publicity? Are they only planning to deploy the vehicles in specific, fairly controlled conditions, rather than claim general self-driving capabilities?

I disagree with the other comment; the COL calculators must NOT be taken as face value. Just like you pointed out the rent and state taxes are perhaps the biggest increase in expense. Groceries are more expensive but NOT by 150%; especially if you shopped at higher end Grocery stores (like Whole Foods v/s Walmart). Other major things, like furniture, appliances, electronics are more or less the same (except there is a CA recycling fee for electronics, but it isn't that much).

The financial upside is so much that its just ridiculous. The comp ceiling does not exist in SFBA or is substantially higher than anywhere else in the US. From a purely financial success, you should absolutely seriously consider moving to SFBA.
Guess they could always relaunch VSS as "GitHub for Business" at the same time then! :)
More Silicon Prairie :)
How about just "JS"? Can be "pronounced" as "jah-vah-skript`" or "jay-es".

In some sense, it doesn't really need to compete with R, many times it's better just to use the R, Python, Java, C++, packages via RCall, PyCall, JavaCall, Cxx, or use the built-in ccall to use libraries written in any number of languages that conform to the C ABI (C, Fortran, Rust, ...).

I've joked before, about how there is no such thing as a "One Language To Replace Them All", however, I feel Julia is the best candidate for the "One Language To Rule Them All", since while it solves the "two-language" problem in many cases, you can use it bind code written in many languages together (hopefully in a bit nicer fashion than the "One Ring" bound the other rings and their users!)

Stride Consulting | Software Consultant / Senior Software Consultant | New York, NY | Full-Time | ONSITE

Stride Consulting is a mission-driven, engineering-centric software consulting firm. We seek developers who place a high value on continuous learning and value diversity. If you consider yourself a non-dogmatic engineer, have a thirst for learning, and an eye for process, you’ll be in great company.

Our goal is to leave our client teams functioning at a higher level than when we found them. We do this by writing high quality code alongside our clients’ development teams, as well as mentoring their developers, product teams, and stakeholders in software development best practices.

We believe that practices like Test Driven Development, Pairing, and Refactoring are the foundation of a high-functioning software team. And, we believe that not all Agile practices provide equal value to all teams at all times.

We have great benefits (described in more detail in the links below), including an ample budget for professional development PLUS paid-time for professional development as well as standard healthcare and retirement benefits.

We do not travel - all of our clients are located in NYC. However, we are open to relocating developers from other cities.

Consulting experience is not required for the Software Engineer role. For the Senior role we usually look for candidates with 3+ years of consulting experience.

Stack (Depends on Client): Ruby on Rails, React, Angular, Python, Scala, Java 8, Elixir, Node and more. Open to other languages / technologies if you have other expertise.

Email me at mcarradine@stridenyc.com for more information and an introduction to our recruiters, or apply below and mention in your cover letter that you were referred by Malcolm.

That sounds a little like the Barcelona superblock model, which I like. Less transit oriented and more "creating spaces for people to stay/live/eat/etc" oriented though.

I wrote a Greasemonkey script to pull apart the div element and replace it with a random image from an imgur subreddit gallery*. I'm certain far better javascript programmers could take this and improve on it. Calling myself a novice would be embellishing my skills.

I heard it conflicts in ways with the facebook chat sidebar which I never use, so if you're interesting in fiddling around with that on GreaseMonkey or TamperMonkey just keep that sort of thing in mind.

EDIT: Example of what it does on the sidebar for you: https://i.imgur.com/Yqc2jdY.png

Is it much different than working for a fantasy sports, video game, or other entertainment company?
Firefox's Facebook Container. Segregate any FB url from the rest of the browser state to minimize tracking etc.
We've added the qualifying ": study" bit above. Still, I think this is sort of a nitpick.
I'd assume ads like that in SF are aimed at developers and general tech talent. Facebook bulkheaded themselves from shifting tastes in social media by buying insta and whatsapp but they've got to be concerned at their brand being toxic for hiring. It's death by a thousand cuts.
They both require some faith in magic. Half the companies claiming to use AI or machine learning are full of shit anyway.

NoRedInk | Back-End, Front-End, Full-Stack, and Site Reliability Engineers | San Francisco, CA | REMOTE Pacific Time (PST) to Central European Time (CET)

We’re an ed-tech company on a mission to help all students become strong writers! Our team may be small, but NoRedInk is used by 1 in 2 school districts in the US, and students have answered over 2 billion questions on our platform.

We’re a group of friendly people who listen to and learn from each other. We discuss past mistakes openly so we can adapt our processes to the challenges that come with progress. Puns flow freely across our San Francisco office as well as on Slack, and we have remote engineers spanning six different time zones.

Our engineering team [1] prides itself on code quality and innovation. We use the cutting-edge Elm programming language for all our new front-end code, and have been migrating legacy React code to Elm as well. Our back-end is primarily Ruby on Rails, although we are working to split off smaller services as we scale to keep up with our traffic. You can read about our experiences with these technologies on our team blog! [2]

In addition to spending work hours open-sourcing useful libraries we develop [3], we also invest financially in open source. We hired the creator of Elm, Evan Czaplicki, to develop Elm full time. [4] Evan discusses his plans for the language with the team every week, periodically pairs with other engineers on Elm, and cracks up members of the sales team with his lunchtime jokes.

We use Amazon AWS for our infrastructure and automate all of our deployments using Chef and OpsWorks. We write a lot of tests, and use Jenkins for continuous integration. Our process for new features begins with our product team and in-house visual designer, continues with a GitHub pull request from a feature branch into master, and ends with our in-house QA specialist trying to break it before it reaches production.

We’re looking for engineers who want to work on a mission that makes a difference and who are the type of collaborators that value kindness and open-mindedness, over convincing the group they’re right.

You can learn more about what to expect through blog posts about our interview process [5] and on-boarding experience [6].

What?

Oracle threatens to sue people who use the word "Java" without paying them.

GNU would very much like you to use "GNU" to recognize the contributions of GNU software in providing a usable operating system around the Linux kernel.

How exactly does one remind you of the other?
It's not almost like an agenda, it is an agenda.
Also: CPU-bound problems used to be much more common. We spent a lot of effort making CPUs fast though, and memory access didn't keep up. It's why we have these deep caches, it's why we have out of order execution and speculative branch prediction -- to keep processors fed with data.

Used to be you could count cycles, now that's only really true in the simplest of cases with trivial memory access patterns. Now high-information branches are much more expensive than cycle counting would have us believe, ditto pointer-chasing.
Uber's existence is at stake here.
>I don't think we should commit the fallacy of assuming that because their position seems absurd to us that it comes from a place of bias or ignorance.

I had a really smart person talk about AI and how to deal with it. His conclusion was a gigantic let down. He was out of his element, hes an economist, but his conclusion was-

Either AI is going to be peaceful, or its going to kill us and there is nothing we can do to stop it.

Maybe most civilizations end like this, but why not look for third options?
Approval Voting is the (most) correct answer for assemblies, councils, houses.

Easy to explain, tabulate, verify (audit).

Consolidates primaries & general into single event.

More robust in presence of (inevitable) errors.

Greatly reduces negative campaigning (everyone wants to be your second choice).

Per Durverger’s Law, breaks political duopoly.
> The side you're on is pretty important

So, generally and from what I understand about US drone operations, these strikes target people like ISIS and other Islamic extremists. Following this, in a general sense, the sides are the US and terrorist religious extremists.

The way you frame your point makes it sound like your on one side or the other. If that is the case, I would much rather be on the side of the US than the extremest who murder people for arbitrary reasons.

If that is not the way you meant for it to be framed, please correct me.

> This is even more true in the case of drone operations and so-called "AI" assisted actions, where operators sitting safely in air-conditioned facilities in the California desert can decide to remotely kill people with no risk to themselves.

Why does the risk to the warfighter matter? Would you rather they send infantry to go and assault the target? Why wouldn't you want to minimize the risk to the soldiers in the field by using tech to hit a target rather than men on the ground?
Hey everyone: this is Jeremy, the author of the "credit suicide" blog post. I'd be glad to discuss this on this thread here, rather than on my blog, as I like the discussions that happen here. Thanks!
Finix | Embedded Systems Engineer | San Francisco, CA | Onsite | Full-Time | $100k - $150k

Finix builds, manages and sells a payments processing platform (http://developers.finixpayments.com) to banks and other financial institutions. Our stack is mainly Java and Postgres on AWS. We have a few services in Haskell. We are the first seed-stage company that Visa has invested in.

Looking to hire 2 to 3 highly effective engineers who want to work on a state-of-the-art technology platform pushing the future of payments and banking software, and want to have agency over their day-to-day work. Beneficial to understand the payments domain and have experience delivering SLAs of 4 nines (99.99%).

Southeast USA including: Virginia (Arlington and Dulles), Maryland (Annapolis Junction), South Carolina (Greenville), Alabama (Huntsville), Florida (beach east of Melbourne), Texas (Austin and San Antonio), and possibly others, all ONSITE. Citizenship is a job requirement.

We do emulators, JIT, hypervisors, stuff similar to valgrind, debuggers, manual disassembly, binary static analysis, parsers, and assembly. We write our own low-level tools, frequently in C99 to run on Linux. We also use IDA Pro, qemu, Simics, JTAG debuggers, gdb, Coverity, KlocWork, LLVM, and so on. Easily transferable skills include those related to compilers, kernel drivers, embedded RTOSes, vectorizing, firmware, VxWorks BSP development, symbolic execution, boot loaders, software verification, concolic testing, abstract interpretation, satisfiability (SAT, SMT) solvers, and decompilers. We work with more than a dozen architectures including PowerPC/ppc, MIPS, ARM/Thumb/AArch64, x86/x64/Intel, DSPs, and microcontrollers. We hire from no-degree to PhD. Common degrees include Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Mathematics.

We don't normally work overtime, and we get paid more if we do. We're never expected to take work home or be on call. Because of the citizenship requirement, there is no chance that the work will be outsourced. Flex-time is fairly extreme; some do randomish hours.

Location hints: Pick Arlington for a car-free life, subway included. Pick Florida or Texas to live in a place with solid gun rights and no state income tax. Pick Florida for almost no traffic or commute, surfing, and houses that commonly go for $150,000 to $450,000.

I'd be happy if I could just setup an email distro list in google domains, or in the G Suite admin, instead of having to setup groups... I swear it took me half an hour to figure out why my dev@ list wasn't getting email from outside the domain.

Hi, not lordnacho but I’m one of Interdax’s eng leads.

Mostly is about working on existing implementations but a deep understanding of how blockchains work is required. We’re looking for someone who can help to review and add new cryptos (for building trading pairs), work with the exchange wallets and continuously track, evaluate and solve potential issues derived from bugs/vulns that appear from time to time in some cryptocurrencies.

We’ve got the process already quite streamlined so it’s more about optimising it and have more eyes reviewing internal and external code bases. Also experience with DEX architectures is a bonus (but not strictly necessary)

After reading their explanation, I don't understand the purpose of 1e100.net. Maybe someone who is more technical than I am can explain how it is used to identify Google's servers and why that's useful.

On that note, I should answer their question: Was this article helpful? with No.
It's also generational because of the increasing costs of college, not just the reputation of certain schools.

I started college in about 1992. My in-state tuition at the University of Utah -- a major university, not elite, but not community college -- was, I think ( * ), less than about $1500, which is about $2700 in today's dollars. In-state tuition today is $8,824, reflecting a substantial reduction in state support -- a 3.2x real dollar increase.

People in my generation and older who say "work your way through college", or "don't take out loans" need to make sure they've updated their mental model of the cost of college.

(*) I can't find historical data going back to '92; In '98 it was $2711: https://www.chronicle.com/interactives/tuition-and-fees which is $4203 in today's dollars.
There's nothing off-putting about living frugally and taking care of your financial health. Working yourself to the bone is not necessary, but stopping and forming good financial habits that last a lifetime is a great thing to do. Just like there's nothing off-putting about becoming fit and taking care of your physical health. However you can over-do it on diets and exercise too.
How to get data scientist?
After five years of enjoying an programming/software dev. education at my school(finished school some days ago) I now face a full year of civil service. So i decided that I want to dive into the world of data science. Are there any good courses / tutorials online that I shouldn't miss out on? And what do you folks think I should do to get a data scientist one day (or at least get in the right direction ^^)?
An entertaining, particularly biting, and horribly shortcoming-riddled statement of the case against EA that nevertheless captures a common set of views:

https://ssir.org/articles/entry/the_elitist_philanthropy_of_...

(This is the "defective altruism" article.)

Is there a name for a set of views that are correlated with each other in prevalence, in the sense that they occur together more often than could be explained by chance alone? It's similar to the idea of a syndrome in medicine: "opinion syndrome", perhaps?
