Divvy Homes | Engineers (IC, Manager), Data-Science | San Francisco | Full-time, On-site

At Divvy, we’re on a bold mission to reinvent home-ownership. We fractionalize residential real estate to make it more affordable, more flexible, and a better fit for our customers’ lives.

Over the past year, we’ve worked hard to build an exceptional team, raise debt+funding, and provide homes for dozens of families, meaningfully changing their financial future. Our customers choose any home for sale, and Divvy buys it on their behalf. The customer leases the home back from us while building equity credits along the way, preparing to buy the home at the end of their lease. Our customers get to live in their future home today, while buying fractions of the home over time.

Requiring a specific technical solution with problems of its own by law is a wet dream for whoever holds the IP to that technical solution. Now accusing others of having a vested interest in MAYBE opposing this hypothetical law that no one has actually proposed is just gas-lighting and possibly projection.
DARPA should have continued their self driving car competitions after their Urban challenge, but limiting the input to just commodity cameras. The field would be much further along.

I would posit that the new gatekeepers are algorithms. For example, Google search algorithms, Youtube recommendations, Facebook news feed Edgerank, etc.

Do we intentionally not summarise things? I'm not quite sure of the norm. Here's an early paragraph that seems useful:

With CallJoy, small businesses have access to the same customer service options that have historically only been available to larger corporations. If you’re associated with small business using CallJoy, here’s how it works: After a quick setup, you’ll receive a local phone number. CallJoy will immediately begin blocking unwanted spam calls so you receive the calls that matter—the ones from customers. Then, when the phone rings, the automated CallJoy agent answers, greets callers with a custom message and provides basic business information (like hours of operation).
Actually it was Doom that was developed on NeXT. A big advantage of doing development on NeXT vs DOS was that dereferencing an errant pointer couldn't take down the whole machine.

Mobile homes are rolling trash we don't need more places to put them we need to educate people so they wont throw their money away.
Buses travel long distances because they run the same route throughout the day, and the turnaround time of a bus is expected to be minimal.

Alberquerque, New Mexico had the not unreasonable requirement that a bus should have a range of 442 km, but the buses that were delivered could not reliably meet that goal on a route that has some elevation gain and in a hot climate. https://www.abqjournal.com/1246094/abq-rejecting-all-byd-art...
The value is also affected by perception. Older mobile homes were built with materials and processes that made them more difficult to update and maintain than site built homes. I believe this is largely not the case anymore but the idea that a mobile home has a shorter life span persists.
Not very deep at all - meteoroid protection requires only about 15-20cm of regolith, and radiation protection requires about 2m. Easily doable.

>But, what if there's no where to move to? We live in a time and age when voters and the govt that represent them are ever more stingy with land usage. I wouldn't be at all surprised if we end up with no-where to put the mobile home due to zoning and regulation. In that case, the existing mobile home park owners will be able to raise rents to whatever they want: this is the biggest danger.

This has been happening in the industry for at least a couple of decades. Zoning laws are increasingly restrictive and force folks to rely on mobile home parks.

Intel / MobilEye is making a 7nm chip for all of its customers. And part of that is because MobilEye has Ford, GM, BMW, Audi...

That's really not many phone calls. I'm not surprised they had to try and scale it up to suggest it's a big issue.

------------

Let me ask you this: how many vehicles do you think Tesla will make in 2018 and 2019? A million? Two million?

Do remember, 2018 Tesla made only 244,920 cars. 2019 Q1 only had 70,000 cars, so Tesla is currently producing cars at a rate under 300,000 cars/year (maybe growing to 350,000 by the end of the year). Maybe Gigafactory 3 comes up in early 2020, and Tesla then makes 500k cars for 2020.

So... just about a million cars between 2018 to 2020, and I'm being quite generous on Tesla's growth potential here. Remember: not all of those cars having FSD or autopilot installed.

I'm not seeing how this 14nm chip is going to be a financially sound move for Tesla. They just don't make enough cars and they weren't watching out on industry standard chip upgrades.
Interesting, especially fully attentional modules as alternative to conv layers (rather than in addition to). I hope they continue playing with it, especially while evolving better architectures.

The name seems kind of odd for a google product.

The anti-spam feature and voice analytics sound cool. I'm curious how they decide what's spam though - I know there's a few services that claim to do this, but since a lot of times local numbers are the ones being spoofed, can they guarantee a legitimate call won't be filtered out?

Probably yes. There's a few things the moon has going for it:

- it's in a vacuum

- it has low gravity

- abundant solar energy without the uncertainty of weather

So many different kinds of industrial manufacturing processes are hampered by the presence of oxygen/air; in a vacuum you could make super pure alloys. Low gravity means you can use smaller, less powerful machinery to do the same work. The solar thing is kinda self-explanatory.
Systems and Technology Research | Software Engineer | Boston area | Full time

We solve hard problems, usually (but not always) for the government. We’re not some stodgy defense contractor but rather small teams of engineers, mathematicians and software engineers that get things done and actually deliver product. Some examples of the types of projects we work on are counter-botnet botnets and programming language research to improve security.

We’re particularly looking to hire software engineers that are well-versed in modern cloud environments and steeped in database tech. We're probably a little bigger than most companies here (about 200) but have great benefits and a flexible work environment -- everyone has their own office and the freedom to work on what they want. Feel free to apply through the website or through a PM to me – if the former, please mention hn!

This is triggering me from bad Silicon Valley interviews.
He's not intending to be over-optimistic; his goals are possible, he sees they are possible and says so, even if they're unlikely. And he repeatedly states his tendency to be over-optimistic, which RARELY is acknowledged by pretty much anyone else promoting a new advancement.

"I think we can do this by XX. Granted, I've been over-optimistic in the past"... is refreshing honesty, not "lies."

It's amazing to me that so many people interpret acknowledgement of one's own fallibility as lying.

For context to others: Unless you've been following developments in Rust recently, you may or may not have realised that Rust 1.34 [1] introduced the ability to point Cargo (the Rust package manager) at your own private registry, either self-hosted or managed.

So this is really exciting for anyone looking to privately develop or distribute Rust crates (packaged libraries), or to mirror some portion of crates.io for other reasons (e.g. availability, isolation, modification of public crates, etc.).

I'm ready for what comes next after Agile.
I've been through about 5 Agile shops now. I would say
one of the 5 ran Agile well, the rest were a mess that
just makes it frustrating for everyone.

I can't tell you what will come after agile, but I can tell you that it'll probably have around a 20% effective rate all the same.

Also there's nothing in agile that would prevent you from designing things upfront, I believe the exact phrasing is "Responding to Change Over Following a Plan". I.e., build extendable / adaptable designs (that can change), do the amount of specification upfront that provides value, but don't ticket-plan 2 years of development upfront.
Sure, but they have a vastly superior processing unit to make sense of those images. The question isn't necessarily if binocular vision is better than LIDAR or not but rather which one works best with the current crop of artificial brains and algorithms.
