Aquabyte | San Francisco, CA | Full Time | ONSITE, VISA

Aquabyte (backed by NEA and Costanoa, top tier investors) is on a mission to revolutionize the sustainability and efficiency of aquaculture. It is an audacious, and incredibly rewarding mission. By making fish farming cheaper and more viable than livestock production, we aim to mitigate one of the biggest causes of climate change and help prepare our planet for impending population growth. Aquaculture is the single fastest growing food-production sector in the world, and now is the time to define how technology is used to harvest the sea for generations to come.

Through custom underwater cameras, computer vision, and machine learning we are able to quantify fish weights, detect sea lice infestations, and generate optimal feeding plans in real time. Our product operates at three levels: on-site hardware for image capture, cloud pipelines for data processing, and a user-facing web application. As a result, there are hundreds of moving pieces and no shortage of fascinating challenges across all levels of the stack.

Nothing in your quote contradict what I said. Note that the Central Bank is not targeting the monetary base, but the interest rate.
I have to solve captchas all the time these days; typically, several in a row. It's aggravating as get-out.
There's plenty to write about this, but this is just a rambling rant that struggles to stay coherent
There are other techniques that do a reasonable job at stemming the flood. The "hidden field" technique still reduces spam by quite a lot.
I've had the picture ones once it twice this year and it only took a couple seconds. The pictures don't take much longer than the text did for me but I wonder if it gets worse on certain configurations (I've heard recaptcha is super bad if you use TOR).
What about hate speech spread by malicious foreign actors?
I am not confounding good work with good people. I very often see great people deliver poor work. I rarely see bad people. I can be a great person and want to succeed at something I am I’ll equipped to do professionally, or for whatever reason am not fully engaged in.

Personally, yes, I feel working for a paycheck only is a sure sign of a bad fit/attitude. Maybe I have an unrealistic view, but I think people should work for more than that, or else find a more rewarding and engaging profession...life is too short to punch the clock (ymmv).

While very few intentionally make mistakes, I find it takes extraordinary effort to maintain the discipline to intentionally not make mistakes. A mistake is not always an erroneous action, it can be the omission of careful attentive proactive action.

My thesis (and practical experience) is that you can deliver good software with ineffective teams, contrary to the myth of 10x rock star hire-only-the-best mantras. But my question is how others use tools and techniques to reliably do this vs. gut feel and trial and error. I know it can be done, just as I know you can hire 10x coders and still fail a project.

Edit/postscript: you can also have (and often do) great people who as individuals can be highly effective, but fail to communicate or collaborate as a team. This is probably more common in larger orgs or in my specific cases, teams that span multiple orgs. You often have to manage great people who are poor communicators via nudges without direct hiring/firing or performance review leverage...aka “dotted lines”.
I have doubts. In particular, from my vantage, what common lisp lacked was a heavy sponsor from the big players in industry. Or academia, even.

What it has, is a ton of people that are more than willing to voice what they don't like about it. Which most languages have. Just doesn't have folks also posting good blogs about it often.

better yet, get rid of the comments all together. having no comments saves you from having to moderate them and it's just not worth it. if you're writing anything tech related and worthwhile you can just proxy the discussion to HN ;)

Or if you are using tor, are blocking tracking, etc. I regularly have to solve 5 or 6 puzzle challenges in a row.

I would happily pay a monthly fee to get around these ridiculous captchas, even though it's absurd to have to do so.

I noticed a Yamaha vl-70m in the first video. That's a very interesting synthesizer that (if I remember correctly) was in continuous production for about twenty years. It does physical modeling of various acoustic instruments. They're fairly rare, but they're popular with those who play midi wind controllers because they allow for more realistic expression control than a more typical "play pre-recorded sample when someone hits a note" digital rompler synth.
Not OP, but I agree with both your assessments of the situation. I agree with you that most companies work this way. I'd even go a step further and would say that most companies are highly dysfunctional. But I also agree with OP that the only thing you can do in situations like this is to leave. Unfortunately changing the company from the inside is extremely difficult and in most cases a futile effort.

What follows for me is that one should be very careful in how they choose their employer. Unfortunately, I've found it often quite hard to judge this before starting to work there. Would love if someone could give their insight in how to figure this ought before even applying.
I get the puzzles quite often, pretty much every time I deal with a captcha. Private mode browsing, logging in from my pc, firefox vs chrome... I'm not even particularly tracking sensitive. I don't even have extensions more extreme than ublock origin and a strict popup blocker on firefox.
To offer a counter-experience, I don't remember the last time I actually HAD the "click once" captcha. It's always "click the buses/traffic lights/store fronts" etc.
What's the alternative to the recaptchas? Is the difference to just to use a different captcha service?

This 'freedom' of speech in America doesn't exist. It never has existed and the fact that people prop up the charade of it is disappointing to say the least.

We see outrage here when a site like 8chan is rightfully lambasted for sparking various terroristic attacks. But not when a woman is arrested for laughing at a politician. Or when a black man is killed for acting or saying the wrong thing to a police officer. Or the local government deciding not to step in and display an episode of a TV series showing a gay couple which is textbook viewpoint discrimination.

These freedoms only go in one direction and I only wish those who were ardent fighters of freedom of speech would be consistent in what and who they fight for.
But Germany is the epitome of efficiency, no? That's what I meant. Japan always gets a bad rep but Germany should too. At least in Japan the staff is typically nice (excluding the immigration office as the only exception I know of).
Regulating International Trade in Commercial Spyware
From a throughput management perspective for more office-like work:

It's easy for one person to increase in time-tracked productivity in ways that decrease the aggregate productivity of the group they are in.

Sometimes, the person is happy with their own work and unhappy with everyone else's, and they have a blind spot because it's so hard to understand how improving their own productivity can slow down other people so much to be net negative.

But I've seen it, I think it's real. I think it's sometimes a very strong effect, which can make or break a business.

Just like manufacturing pipelines, people affect each other's work in non-linear ways that clog up the system.

As with pipelines, performance improvement lies in working with those non-linear dynamics well enough to reconfigure the system, so each person can excel at their best.
Seems like another checking account with a month's worth of expenses in it could be a prudent idea.
It's tricky is distinguishing between necessities, expectations, and personal preferences.

For example, it is undeniable that you've got to eat. You can get some tolerable food on the table in 15 minutes (e.g., ramen, Kraft Dinner). Adults, especially with kids, are usually expected to serve a wider variety of foods, especially healthier ones (~45 min to prepare?). Of course, you can also spend all day in kitchen making beef wellington and homemade bread. In the latter cases, some of that time is a "chore", but some of it is also essentially a hobby. Likewise for gardening, auto maintenance, and even keeping the house absolutely spotless strikes me as a kind of (odd) hobby.
The Future Is Here
Applying a noncompete to sales (as in the parent article) or as jimmy johns has done is pretty beyond the pale. I don’t like noncompetes and think they’re hostile but someone at corporate officer level having it enforced is a different world.
> ruin the language just so that it appeals to some people

May I ask why this can be considered ‘ruin’ing? These sort of changes will be useful for all CL users IMO.

Maybe to you, but not for me or many, many people who went to Clojure apparently.
Yeah, but it also knocks down oil and other commodity prices that constitute a large portion of Chinese imports.
The title mentions reCAPTCHA v3 but then the article goes on to rant about the challenges you have to solve. reCAPTCHA v3 is completely automatic, there are no challenges at all. Of course, it's not perfect either, because occasionally actual humans fail the challenge too.
Haskell is its direct descendant, so of course it counts. It has all the traits required to be called that, and I'm implicitly talking towards it in the initial comment while still respecting the family. And for what I know, OCaml has generics, so I'm not exactly sure what do you mean here.
Depends. If it's a big company with centralized administration, it's not going to happen. With a smaller company, a less assholey company or a somewhat independent division of a bigger company it's possible.
Why the Katy Perry/Flame lawsuit makes no sense
Apollo software is pretty simple, relatively speaking. It was a hard, but small problem compared to what we expect from modern tech like a car or airplane. Modern software is far more reliable than Apollo. The difference is that 99.9% correct-uptime is terrible for modern vehicle software, but was great for Apollo.

Yup. And Google Analytics should (and I believe already has) be treated similarly to a tracking beacon.
> Photoshop used non-native controls, and nobody cared.

There's a number of Photoshop alternatives that use native controls that are reasonably popular (they're also generally cheaper, too).
Isn't the author talking about recaptcha v2? My understanding of recaptcha v3 is, that it just gives you a score for how well google can track you and then leaves it up to the site operator to block users who aren't transparent enough.

What I really hate about recaptcha v2 are those artificial delays before loading the next image (which it can happen to several times on a single card). And then in the end you frequently fail, despite answering everything correctly.
> I find the idea that some people have _two_ kitchens, a smaller and private one in which they cook and then _another entire kitchen_ that is larger and only for show to be much more upsetting than this crazy big kitchen island.

It’s also not a new idea. My great-grandmother has a nice kitchen in her house, but did most of the cooking for the family on a second stove in the basement.
Can I give a very practical advise to people who are reading this and trying to learn math ? As someone, who received a very strong mathematical training in a former Soviet Union, here is my practical advise:

1. Calculus books, just like this one, are absolutely impractical in real life situation, especially, if your goal is "Industrial Mathematics". All you will learn, are basic calculus notations. You will, at best be able to solve very basic toy problems.
2. Instead, learn basic algebra and combinatorics on extremely proficient level. This is what often is missing in US education.

In order to get to 2.
3. Learn how to do a. complex algebraic manipulations, b. solve complex algebraic inequalities, c. basics of number theory, d. combinatorics. Notice, nothing going beyond Real Numbers and I'm not even including Euclidean geometry.

4. Best sources for that are Math Olympiad problems and technique to solve them. You will learn how to crack extremely complicated algebraic expression, how to factor them and represent them in different forms, how to do tricky substitutions. Same technique is applicable in working with complicated integrals/diff. There is an entire layer of mathematics that devoted to inequalities and they are very applicable in solving calculus problems. Most of the technique and materials to solve those problems aren't taught in high schools and even college course.

Being able to solve moderately complex algebraic problems is must before learning calculus and analysis. Crush your ego, google/amazon for books and materials on how to solve (basic) Olympic problems that are intended for HS 9-12 graders and see what you can do.
> I can code but dynamic programming is not what I will be doing in my job. I have learned about docker, kubernetes, etc.

And what do you do with Docker and Kubernetes? Because that's not programming, that's sysops/devops.

Programming tests are dubious, per se. But your "I will not need algorithms" is just as dubious.
Your experience will differ based on how much Google tracking you block. If you're not letting them surveil your every move, they're less convinced you're human by default (or perhaps spite).
With some of these I'm left debating what is a traffic light. Is the pole itself a traffic light? I really don't know.

Also when it asks to select all the cars. Is a bus a car? Is a truck a car? I really don't know what it is expecting and I must pick wrong as I often fail.
For those of you asking for alternatives, I've tried a few of the things posted in https://kevv.net/you-probably-dont-need-recaptcha/ to some success, but obviously it depends on your use case.
> reCAPTCHA v3 is completely automatic, there are no challenge at all.

Yeah, if you're signed into Chrome and Google has enough information to know who you are (yes, I know the new one is score-based…this just means that anyone who isn't the above is going to get a poor score and be blocked.)
Casino chips tend to be fiat-denominated and trivially redeemable at face value, so are true cash equivalents.

Cryptocurrencies tend not to be fiat-denominated, and even those that are don't have trivial free frictionless exchange for fiat at face value.

This is always my go-to tool when I'm trying out RegEx!
I was trying to remember wtf the name of the new MFA standard that Chrome supports was, and it took me 10 minutes of Googling to find it (U2F[1]). If a security nerd can't even remember the name of the thing that's supposed to replace passwords, regular users will never figure it out.

You want to get rid of passwords? Stop allowing users to manage them. Make a browser plug-in support U2F, make it auto-generate passwords for sites, make it manage them internally. When you go to login to Chase, the browser will fill in the login details, after it has verified this is the Actual Real Site and not a phishing site. All access to this auth data will be based on a master password entered into the user's browser at start-up.

To reset an individual site's auth creds, the site can send a re-auth e-mail to the user. When the user clicks through, they can use the site's preferred verification process to show they are the real user. The browser can then generate and save new auth details for the site.

At no time did the user ever enter a password, but strong authentication data is still being managed independently per-site, the user can still reset any given site's auth details, and the user only has to manage one strong password on their client machine at start-up time. They can also use U2F with a second device for MFA.

Of course there's nothing magic. But I think it's important to grasp the definition as a whole rather than thinking monads are "just" some subset or superset - the full definition of a monad is quite short and every part of it is vital, even if it doesn't seem so to start with.
That technique hasn't worked for years. Try setting up a vanilla WordPress installation with the most popular forms plugins. The only anti-spam measure that works is reCaptcha v. 3.
> Spend the money/create the perks...

Oh right, spend the infinite piles of money we just have lying around. If we had that money, we would have already spent it to hire better people in the first place and wouldn't be in this position.
Beautiful! I tried it with a particularly nasty regex from a codebase I had and it did a fantastic job explaining what it would target. It's similar to regex101.com in a lot of ways, but the UI might be a little more easy to read and understand.
For WordPress there are plugins like Akismet (a service), Antispam Bee (local), etc, that are pretty good at filtering spam without the need to display annoying captchas.
The title is "nearly all", not "all".

Women experience these same things but, as you've said, tend not to go on murder rampages.
Not true. Google has made a new capture system that only requires you to click a checkbox.

> Other methods [of disposing of brine] include drying in evaporation ponds, injecting to deep wells, and storing and reusing the brine for irrigation, de-icing or dust control purposes.
What? No it doesn't violate it at all.
There is also a thing called unions.
A related, fun book I have been reading is The Art of Thinking Clearly. I recommend it if this topic interests you.
You get cash bonuses the first two years to make up for that so your total comp doesn't actually change that much.
Theyre being pushed into the mainstream with an agenda to censor and shut them down. The goal isn't to give them less visibility, its to target and attack them. You have a 180 on the cause-effect here.
I agree that that is typically true, but in the particular case of the 2018 tariffs on China, the cost pretty much fell entirely on consumers.

> Overall, using standard economic methods, we find that the full incidence of the tariff falls on domestic consumers, with a reduction in U.S. real income of $1.4 billion per month by the end of 2018

> We find that the U.S. tariffs were almost completely passed through into U.S. domestic prices

What is "speed"? What is "quickly"? What is "fast"?

As Carlin said, any person driving faster than you is a maniac. Anyone driving slower is a moron.
Personally, I just purchased a lump-sum of Ninebot-es2 and es4 models from a Police auction (they were confiscated bird scooters). I just replaced the dashboard and went about using them for personal commuting. The range sucked, I'd be lucky to get 3.5 - 4 miles at 16mph to my office, which meant I had to charge on both ends. This is what lead to my purchase of an KS18xl electric unicycle.

However, there are more and more slim carbon fiber "micro" electric scooters entering the market that look absolutely incredible!
To give you a quick summary:

Box is (mostly) used in two specific circumstances: when you want to have ownership of something that lives longer than a single function, and to create heterogeneous lists of things (a "trait object").

Rc is used when you need multiple ownership of something, and you're not going to be sharing those things between threads.

RefCell is a type that moves the borrow checker to runtime; it's useful when you're trying to mutate something, and Rust's static checking can't tell that it's okay. If you mess it up, you'll get a panic. This often happens in combination with Rc, since Rc makes something have multiple owners.
Good article, thank you. Gives hope for change in this sector.
As an adult there are not realy many options to get a good help from any proffesionals.
Doctors sometimes dont understand, that some people dont abuse drugs. They take them to manage their dayly life. Not because they are addicted. Its because their brain and their impulsive thoughts and reactions, can be better handled.
And they dont have these disorders because they are on cold turkey.
Im not sure if autism can be healed. Its not like beeing sick. Its more like beeing,.. sometimes a little different in a special way. And people with asperger are not always conform with the enviromental they live in.
Asperger and ADHD togheter is no fun and can realy be hard. When you grow up and face these problems, without knowing whats wrong with you.
That's not how this works.
> We need this to protect our business.

> It’s never enforced.

If these are true, why would a company with 232.9 billion in revenue be afraid of paying an employee's salary only when the non compete is enforced?

If the non compete is almost never enforced this agreement would cost the company under 0.01% of total company wide employee spend. Surely if the knowledge was that important to the business the company would easily make up the "extra" salary paid in revenue.

It's strange that a company that large wouldn't agree to pay salary if it's chosing to enforce the non-compete. It seems like the choice is motivated by something else than reason. Tradition? Optimizing locally for cost reduction?
TL;DR: Restrictions on free speech are primarily used against the powerless, not the powerful. So don't create free speech restrictions that you think are going to be used to protect blacks, say, against white racism. Those restrictions will be used primarily against blacks, not against whites.
