USC Information Sciences Institute | Research Programmer | Waltham, MA | Marina del Rey, CA | REMOTE | Full-time | isi.edu

The University of Southern California Information Sciences Institute (ISI) is one of the nation’s largest, most successful university-affiliated computer research institutes. ISI’s VISTA center (https://www.isi.edu/centers/vista/overview) performs research in natural language processing (NLP), computer vision, biometrics, optical character recognition (OCR), and speech and text analytics. Much of our software is open-source and we publish in top conferences.

Some of our current and upcoming projects include:

- Creation of a new Python open source information extraction toolkit to enable reasoning and experimentation using diverse document interpretations

- Detecting and counteracting social engineering attacks

- Construction of knowledge bases from text, images, audio, and video which can represent multiple hypotheses about the state of the world

- Automatic extraction of events, entities, and causal and temporal relations between them (who did what to whom, when, and why?) from text

- Improving cross-language information retrieval (searching for English concepts in foreign-language documents) for text in low-resource languages (e.g. Swahili, Tagalog)

- Automatic generation of fictional stories

As a part of our team, you’d help execute these and other research projects. Key requirements are the ability to learn new technologies rapidly and to communicate technical ideas clearly.

Open positions:

- For junior software engineers/new graduates with a background or interest in NLP: https://usccareers.usc.edu/job/waltham/research-programmer-i... (Waltham, MA)

- For early-career software engineers with a background or interest in NLP:

- For experienced generalist software engineers, no NLP background required: https://usccareers.usc.edu/job/waltham/research-programmer-i... (Waltham, MA; Marina del Rey, CA; or remote within US)
Taxed? The BLM? It's an arm of the federal government. They don't pay taxes.
That's why I was careful to say these are the conditions only in my immediate region. In my opinion grouping this by State is too macro. There are charter schools in my area predominantly attended by black students but they are central and easily accessible. There are charter schools further away from the city center that require additional travel that is simply not as affordable to lower income students. The numbers at a state level would show a more distributed attendance by race that the reality does not reflect.
For the majority of people, their share of the vote is a lot more powerful than their share of the dollars.
Thanks for your analysis. The common theme I’m going for is that people are choosing something that looks opulent over actual opulence, where there is a third alternative: choosing something real but not as opulent. People could choose the less luxurious-loooking house, or the store brand clothing but narcissism, vanity and the constant need to self promote won’t let them.

I once worked with a guy who probably made close to what I made (similar title/seniority), but he lived in a very affluent neighborhood and loved to mention it whenever the opportunity even slightly arose. I ended up needing to drop something off at his house once (he was out on an extended sick leave) and when he greeted me I had a look behind him into the house. It was totally empty! He probably slept on a cot in one of the 5 unused and unfurnished bedrooms. He was a total phony!

I think we can agree that the examples I brought up represent a small fraction of the phoniness we see all around us—they were just the few that came to mind while typing. It’s an epidemic as far as I’m concerned.
Aren't you then asking for a WYSIWYG editor or a CMS that includes something like that? Many of those exist and are suitable for a lot of web development. You step into the lower level for customization that is difficult or just flat out not implemented in the higher level tooling.

Ask HN: Software for task management/scheduler
Hi,

I'm looking for a software for individual task management - like a to-do list with priorities, but that would schedule work time on a project based on the expected time to complete the task and priority. I know there's Microsof tProject and others, but I can't seem to find anything that isn't focused on large team projects.

I too went through all of high school without ever stepping into a chemistry lab or performing any experiments of any kind.

Portuguese classes were agonisingly boring and devoid of practical use.

No choice of basic or advanced topics were allowed, everyone studies “advanced everything” and to fail one single subject meant you had to fail and re-do the entire year.

True. Nothing novel in any of these statements.

I personally find that for a lot of queries, especially ones of the "trivial" or "smart" kind where I'm looking for some old meme or bit of fandom trivia, DDG often returns results that are noticeably worse. Not much worse, and not always - but often enough that if I don't find something on DDG, I frequently try the same search on Google anyway.

That said, DDG isn't that much worse than Google in terms of search quality, and is perfectly fine for more "serious" queries - It's an inferior user experience, admittedly, but I'm willing to drink RC Cola instead of drinking cane-sugar old-recipe Coke that also is contaminated with lead.
Koru Kids | London | Full-time Onsite | Full Stack Ruby Engineer #4 | https://www.korukids.co.uk/

Koru Kids is growing quickly. We’re on a mission to improve childcare in London, and looking for someone experienced, creative & friendly to join the team as our fourth full stack engineer.

We’re building a marketplace that enables families to find and share high quality nannies. As an engineer on the Koru Kids team, you’ll be designing and building tech to make complex matching problems a breeze, to give families and nannies a solution that just works, and to supercharge our nanny recruitment and training processes.

You’ll be working in Ruby for most of the backend, with Rails, PostgreSQL and Redis making up the majority of our core product. You’ll be using modern frontend tooling, with ES6 and Tachyons. When it comes to shipping code, you’ll be sending pull requests and doing code reviews in GitHub, and checking that CircleCI is happy before anything goes live. You’ll mostly be deploying to Heroku, with some heavy lifting on AWS. (That said, our priority is making sure we’re using the right tools for the job and we’re open to adding to or changing up our tech and tooling as appropriate.)

We’re looking a mid-level or experienced generalist or backend web developer who thrives in small, fast-moving engineering teams.

If this sounds interesting, you can read more & apply at https://korukids.workable.com/j/4ECE2E94E8 or email me directly at michael [at] korukids.co.uk

Thanks for reading!
I'm a little conflicted about the authorship of "The Word". The chord progression is very Paul and the chorus is very John.

> In the first three lines "word" is by far the most stressed note, and they are all the SAME note. In the last line the stress is on "heard", which rhymes, and is again the same note.

That's how it's supposed to work. The downbeat (or the accent) is on "word" in each line and in the last line the lyric changes to "heard" instead of "word.

So I'm neither expecting syncopation here nor am I noticing anything unusual there.
In the early days of the Republic, individual Banks used to print their own currency. It was all dollars, but it was produced by different companies.

Now our different dollars are plastic or even just ephemeral, the difference being that they may not be universally usable. Something's definitely wrong here.

That line is a shadow of its former self (from a few months ago). The only reason it remained there is so that they can still claim that it's "there".

Compare that to this:

If you're someone who likes to follow trends, then it should be clear to you that Google is trying to get rid of both such comments/values from the company, and will probably start purging the people that still believe like that inside the company, too, as the company starts working with authoritarian regimes and building weapons of death.

Having ethical people inside the company will be like shooting itself in the foot, as it tries to move forward with these projects.

You're always dependent on something. It's like the developers who use the repository pattern because they don't want to be dependent on Oracle/Sql Server, etc. Your entire enterprise is built on top of your infrastructure. You're not going to just change out to save a few dollars. The costs and the risks are too great.

In the UK a speeding driver struck and severely disabled an 8 year old boy. The driver's insurer sued the mother (really!) saying it was partly her fault for letting the boy go to the park under the supervision of his older cousins. Happily the judge found for the mother.

On the other hand, it's clear that sucking good teachers, good students, and good parents from public schools into selective charters is a form of "brain drain" that negatively impacts the performance of students at public schools.
What a load of horeshit. Why do people buy such bullshit peddled by Forbes, Bloomberg, and other pseudo economists pretending to be knowledgeable. The methods by which America uses its land is irrelevant as long as OPEC prices and sells oil in dollars. Everyone has to sell us their stuff to get dollars to buy their oil. That means the American market is an illusion - we can always leverage the petrodollar to get whatever we want. We could practically put everyone on welfare tomorrow and we would still be fine as long as our military is stationed across the world. The only reason the government encourages everyone to work is because it would have a riot on its hands otherwise.
The big one there that jumps out at me is "child care", in terms of things that are somewhat discretionary (in the sense that stay-at-home parenting is a thing). And at $10-30k per year per child depending on where you are in the US, it's a pretty large-ticket item.
>>You can't throw more money at a problem, then declare you've come up with a general solution.

You can if "not enough money" was the problem in the first place. And for public schools in low income areas of America, that might end up being a big part of the problem.
