QuotaPath | Backend, Frontend or Full-stack Engineer | Philadelphia, PA or Austin, TX | $70K to $140K DOE | Full-Time | On-Site | https://www.quotapath.com/careers/

Happy new year, y’all!

Sales compensation plans can be shockingly complex. Too often, salespeople are forced to use unfriendly accounting software or to pass around buggy Excel spreadsheets. At QuotaPath, we’re solving this problem in a new way by creating a platform that’s built for salespeople, not accountants. Our business model is unique, both consumer-facing and B2B (“B2BC”; think Slack). Good UX and beautiful design are at the core of our process. The demand for a product like this is intense and we’re working as hard as we can to deliver features to eager users.

We’re looking for engineers to help us accelerate our development. If you’re interested in having a huge impact on a small team, this is a great opportunity. We’re well-funded, but we’re still only 8 people: 3 engineers, 1 UX and 4 others. I’m one of those 3 engineers, and I’m also the technical co-founder. Please ask me questions if you have any!

Our stack is Python + Django on the backend, TypeScript + React on the frontend, but we’re more interested in working with people who are smart and capable than people from any particular background. If you have strong opinions about using different tech, we’ll hear you. Like most startups, we’re built on lots of open source tech and we plan on giving back. We value building a culture of inclusion and transparency. We care about diversity and hope you do too.

I really love how you have setup your contact. I'm a Systems Admin, and not who you are looking for; but this both keeps your email away from the scrapers and adds a small 'barrier to entry'.
I would also add that hdl (the “healthy cholesterol”) in fact helps: 1. Prevent plaque build up; 2. Lowers risk of heart disease; and 3. Lowers risk of stroke.

The problem with industries muddy the water by claiming “cholesterol” is bad without distinguishing between ldl and hdl. It’s similar to what the sugar industry does with “diabeties” when they don’t distinguish between type 1 and type 2.

<still-unnamed startup in stealth mode> | REMOTE | 20-40h per week freelancers

Sorry for the vague description but I can tell you more about the product we're building when you apply. Hopefully I can attract you in a sufficient way with our tech stack (see below) and some keywords (blockchain, DLT, bitcoin, ethereum, mimblewimble/grin, smart contracts, DAI, atomic swaps, etc).

Job positions:

- Build engineer: you are a Linux-er who has some past experience building deb or rpm packages, are excited about reproducible builds, and are willing to learn (if you don't already know) new things such as snap or flatpak. gitlabCI and/or AzureDevOps is a plus. (Might do some DevOps work after we come out of stealth mode as well.)

- Xamarin developer: C# experience as a minimum, F# desirable (we can also mentor you on the transition from C# to F#), interested/knowledgeable in Rust is another plus.

- Rust/blockchain developer: experience in Rust, or smart contracts (especially EVM or Ivy) is a must. Desirable to have experience writing bindings or zkSNARKs.

Important perk for all positions: all the code/scripts you'll write will be opensource, at least for the first 6months.

To be clear about one thing:

When LINPACK measures FLOPS, it doesn't count how many instructions the computer executed. It uses a formula for how many floating-point operations it takes to solve an NxN linear equation and combines that with how long it took the computer to execute. So NVidia's tensor instructions actually contribute tens of operations per instruction retired.

The prediction is attempting to model when a computer will exceed human computational power, which was estimated by Ray Kurzweil at 20PFLOPS, although it's unclear to me if we was specifically thinking of LINPACK Rmax or some other metric.
> we should probably not be letting individuals borrow a billion dollars if they're earning a median wage and have no net assets

Creditors are intelligent and they have free will. They generally try not to lend to people who can't service the debt.

It seems like a pretty good system to let creditors decide who to lend to and then allow them to go bankrupt when they make bad decisions.
"We still need a lot of innovation to solve problems like malaria or obesity, but we are also going to be focusing more on improving the quality of life."

To solve obesity we need the opposite of innovation. Nature has delivered the perfect array of nutrition for the human animal to thrive. We have innovated ourself into obesity and the reversion to the simple truth of natural nutrition is the cure.
Perhaps it could be more than one factor?

I agree that there will always be something to abuse.

Lactose is a disaccharide made up of one glucose and one galactose (which lactase splits up). The galactose IMO is actually worse for you because like fructose, it's transported and phosphorylated in the liver whereas glucose can be metabolized anywhere in your body.
It's all relative.

Do you mean it is slow compared to the portion with no overpasses, or slow compared to vehicles w/o dedicated lanes passing through the same intersections?

Passing through intersections is never particularly fast (except perhaps at night on empty reads with sensors far enough away to turn the light green before you even get there) - but at peak times dedicated lanes help a lot even when intersections are involved because you skip the queue.
> Instead of tracing along each ray in tiny fragments and returning intersections

I dunno if that’s how it’s done now, but the old CG end-of-semester assignment was a constructive solid geometry ray-tracer to render not-LEGO bricks. It was simple ray-intersection against simple geometry unioned/diffed together, and didn’t use any stepping along rays.

Classic raytracers never march or step: the ‘downfall’ is that the need to test every object in the scene for intersection, and the objects need to be easy to test for ray intersection.
This happened to me. Saw a Facebook post forma friend and then realized I had it, and all the implications and some difficulties in my academic and professional life.

I told my friends, some of whom went "ah-ha!". Oddly, someone who ran a lot of our WoW raids basically put 2+2 together and recognized why I had an almost impossible time on some bosses.

I also found out my mother has it - and she didnt know it was a thing either.

I had ALWAYS thought people were just bs'ing when someone would say stuff like "visualize this or that".

It's a shame that it feels like it hampers (or partly hampers) a lot of fields I am very interested in.

I have 0 visual ability when awake, but fully vivid dreams and vivid lucid dreaming... so theres just something that turns that off completely while fully awake.

That's not really addressing the point, is it. IQ correlates well with measures of performance. Taleb's point, if we are to generously interpret his screed, is that some classes of valuable mental performance are very hard to generate metrics for or even define at all, and therefore, you would expect them to correlate with IQ less or not at all.

For instance the chart that claims IQ correlates well with military performance and poorly with "creativity". But how is creativity being measured? It's going to be far easier to measure the performance of a soldier than a creative person, the latter isn't even a clearly defined category, lots of people consider themselves to be creative but generate unpopular dirge. So all he's doing here is dissing people whose performance is more easily measured by nature of their job.

I have to admit the article annoyed me. I actually did believe him when he said IQ doesn't correlate at the upper reaches - I have even studied psychology but it was a long time ago, and wondered if my knowledge was just out of date or forgotten. So I'm glad I read these comments and learned that it's not the case. But it mostly annoyed me because I thought it would be an interesting addition to the ongoing story around poor replication rates and practices in some branches of science. But it seems actually to be some sort of political article targeting conservatives. Even with the wrong parts of his article, I do agree with some of his overall points, but when I got to the end and saw it was tagged "Racism" and "Alt-Right" rather than science related terms, I realised I'd been reading a bog standard rant of the sort that might appear in the Guardian or Vice - just dressed up in a scientific and haughty tone, to make it sound authoritative.

The problem with his overall point is that whilst yes, an observer of history might have wondered how Britain went from primitive tribes conquered by the Romans, at the outskirts of known civilisation, to owner of the largest empire the world has ever seen, that was over a very time long period and the average Roman person would have been quite right to stereotype the population of the north at that time - the changes that invalidated those stereotypes took place over far longer than a human lifetime. People using IQ scores to measure certain types of performance today would be entirely valid to do despite the correlation with race, if they were looking for workers whose performance does correlate with IQ. The fact that not all categories of valuable work may be measurable or correlate doesn't detract from that fact.
