Recursion Pharmaceuticals | SLC, Utah | Onsite, full-time | We have raised over $80M to apply machine learning to one of the most unique datasets in existence - tens of millions of images of cells under a huge number of biological and chemical perturbations, generated in our own labs - in order to find treatments for hundreds of diseases. Our long term mission is to decode biology to radically improve lives - we want to understand biology so well that we can fix most things that go wrong in our bodies. Among other awesome folks, Yoshua Bengio is one of our advisors, and helps our ML team come up with novel ways of tackling these problems.
We’re looking for:

* ML researchers: Looking for a highly experienced senior/principal-level machine learning researcher who wants a challenging problem, lots of rich data, and knowledge that their breakthroughs will seriously help people. No bio background needed.

* Biologists, computational biologists, automation scientists, and drug discovery experts.
http://www.recursionpharma.com/careers for more details and to apply.

Logistics: Salt Lake City, Utah. Hiking/running/biking is literally out our back door, and it's half an hour to 5 ski resorts. Great pay, health insurance, 401k, relocation assistance (onsite is required), equity, a top-caliber team, and help make a massively positive impact. Happy to sponsor/extend visas, but you need to already be authorized to work in the US--we can’t handle the lottery at this stage.
Tech: Data science: python scientific stack (pandas, numpy, scikit-learn, matplotlib, bokeh, etc). Software engineering: go, python, angular.js, react, javascript on aws and gce. Deep learning (e.g. convolutional networks) we're mainly using the python frameworks (keras, theano, tensorflow, etc).
Our team of 98 so far: http://www.recursionpharma.com/team
Yes, it does. And the result of that exception produces a signed infinity, unless the numerator was zero. Note that this is different than the language-level Error construct that can be thrown and caught.

The Future Is Addressable Media and Proper Targeting
Nah, if people freak out I'll just change it. I _prefer_ my insanely long lines, and if Dave & co are alright with my preference, great, but if not, Linux is a big project with many people, and I'm happy to accommodate for different preferences.
Yeah but also..there are no scaling benefits in owning really lots of land. It doesnt get easier to manage. And it is impossible to buy up all the land as the last piece of land would be worth infinity.

Im not sure what's going on, I'd like a more nuanced analysis.
A friend of mine was ranting about how evil Bezos and Musk are. I generally don’t see those two as the worst of the worst, so I spent some time listening to her thoughts.

Her basic assertion was that the simple accumulation of that much wealth is itself evil. They could do many things like build schools and since they choose not to they are evil.

I mentioned to her that they can’t sell their stock without ceding control, so it might make sense to wait to spend the money. But mostly I was just interested in absorbing her point.

There was also a secondary claim about an imperative to use one’s social media platform to correct abuses. But I believe that was a secondary point.

Anyway, I’ve just been tossing that over in my head. Does it say something about someone’s heart if they aren’t building schools and hospitals the moment they obtain enough wealth to do so comfortably?
Personally, I prefer the thesis that everything exists.
> I'd much rather fight a bad law than an evil but legally operating company.

You have more faith in the power of your vote than in the power of your dollar, I take it.

How to Spend Your Bitcoin
The "moral compass" in the ad/surveillance industry was always set up to indicate the direction of money, and only existed as a tool for PR to begin with.
Methodology described here [1] if you want to go beyond assuming their result is essentially a lie. In the per-state data [2] you see results like 31-32% below ALICE in the Dakotas, but 47-49% in NY and California. If one wanted to present a partisan hit piece to encourage establishment liberal/"Great Society" safety net policies, this would appear to be the opposite of what you would want to produce.

There are many games where the only winning move is not to play. This is one of them. Helping either side is a crime against humanity.
Well, Android Auto is proprietary as all get-out, it does what Google wants it to do and nothing else. Google is going to decide what it feels is safe to allow you to do for their own liability purposes, and most of that is going to revolve around Google's own apps and services. (Kinda like how Toyota has decided that it's unsafe for me to type in a phone number at more than 2 miles an hour, even though that's insane, and also locks out my ability to dial 911 while driving.)

And you do need a good car UI if you want to use something in your car, a normal phone interface isn't well suited to safe operation in a car. You want large, oversize buttons, large, oversized text, extremely high contrast (basically, throw Material Design out the window), and the key, where relying on random Android apps is going to fail: You want a unified UI across your functions.

A lot of other UI assumptions go out the window in a car, you need people to be able to interact with it, drop what they're doing, and pick it up again later, so you can't have things that time out or assume you are done with them. You ideally want people to be able to touch-feel some controls if possible, but at the least, you want minimal borders so people can aim for the center of a button and probably hit it without looking at it the whole time. Swipe is a complete no-go, you're in a moving vehicle.

So you don't want phone apps that aren't designed for a car really... at all, which removes most of the perks of using an Android.

I'd much rather build my own system that does the basics I need as quickly as possible than try to get a phone OS to be halfway safe in a car. Command line utilities on a Linux box thrown behind a simple UI screen is a pretty easy bet. (I'm running a Windows box, but I condemn myself at my own risk.)

If you're developing for yourself, you can get much further much faster writing simple code purpose-built to do what you want.

> I don't want to go to a therapist

I would maybe rethink your position on this. Going to a therapist can be scary, but it can also be incredibly beneficial.
> Robot privileges can be revoked too.

In a way, we're discussing that right now. We're in a thread filled with posters who do not want to revoke those rights on the off chance that more dead people now will prevent even more people from dying in the future.

> Society necessitates that people use cars to get places. You can 1:1 replace human driving hours with autonomous driving hours.

This is a generous hypothetical. Society certainly necessitates that people drive, as there is no other way.

It is not true to say that we can 1:1 replace human driving with autonomous driving, the article in the OP is evidence of this. The chance that autonomous driving will never reach a 1:1 parity with humans is also just as likely.

> Anyone who says that self-driving deaths are 'unacceptable' is requiring self-driving cars to be infinitely more perfect than humans.

If this is your takeaway, I implore you to give this perspective more than a passing thought so that you can reply without turning it into a straw man argument.

> Being drunk alters your ability to drive. They would be under the bar.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say here, can you clarify?

> If someone lacks a license but would have qualified, I guess I don't really care.

Would you care if they qualified, but had their license revoked, perhaps for hitting people with their car before they hit you?

> All drivers are unproven at first.

Thankfully, we train and test these drivers on closed courses where injury to uninvolved people is minimized before we allow them to go on the open road. We both severely supervise and restrict why, when, how and what they can drive.

From an Occam perspective, a universe with fundamental randomness requires an unbounded amount of arbitrary data to specify. Deterministic theories are thus massively advantaged.
I like how many modules are designed to work in "immediate mode", it makes playing around with stuff very easy and satisfying.
How hard is "not hard"?

The example is the sort of thing where you strike through a number on the contract, write a new one, and everybody initials it.
> Why does this need to be included in the kernel directly and not just as a loadable module?

From the patch:

+ tristate "WireGuard secure network tunnel"

This means that it can be a built-in, a loadable module, or not included at all, depending on what you select when building.
Fake cakes provide themed decoration, just like the fancy lace curtains or floral centerpieces that are also common at weddings. It's basically the exact same reasoning you gave for knockoff clothes.
Making phones is different from helping censorship.

Although admittedly, their phone operation is also controversial by letting works work extensively.

Playing devil's advocate, allowing for 'wiggle-room' in laws encourages vague/hand-wavey/overly broad laws. Because the devil is always in the detail.

This allows for two key issues to manifest:

1) Selective enforcement
2) A non-expert can't know whether they are breaking any laws in advance of action
>> it is still incredibly dangerous for society that one company has so much power over what people can find on the internet.

Someone could form an organization that's run by donations that could create a web index that isn't influenced by advertising or other third parties. Like a wikipedia type thing.
My understanding is a bit different, but also not a lawyer.

> going from MIT to GPL is fine, but GPL to MIT is not

AFAIK both are _not_ fine, eapecially because the licenses are totally incompatible.

When you publish a patch under a certain license (that of the project at the moment of the contribution), you _only_ allow using your code under that license. This is why dual licensing is a thing.

Except when you sign a CLA - mostly used by companies to gain copyright over your work. In that case the company can do whatever they want - even charge you later to use your own code.
The most interesting thing to me is that it is eschewing being a charter or private school and apparently expects to be able to work within the confines of the local school district and teachers' union.

I've never really understood why this is usually considered difficult or impossible for such a project.

Also, with 25-30 kids per class, $10k works to $250k-300k per year which seems sufficient for a teacher, aide, facilities and support.

Car Rules Fight Pits Safety Against Pollution
The web is not all bullshit. It's just that certain areas of business online it are incentivized to get bloated and others aren't. I learnt this through personal experience:

On one hand, I own a news site, and on the other hand, I own a price comparison website. The news website started off at a 90% rating on Pagespeed tools but as the ads came in and people complained that the news site looked ancient, that score got whittled down to 30-40% and the page weight also went up by orders of magnitude as well. The price comparison website however, has a 100% rating on Pagespeed tools and has stayed that way because it's goal is to get people to the best priced retailer as quickly as possible.

Facebook uncovers new fake accounts ahead of midterm elections
That's fine, but plenty of us choose to work on systems we find intrinsically interesting and/or on problems we consider important. Sometimes that comes with a financial penalty. Personally, I'm happy to get slightly less money in exchange for more interesting and meaningful work.
