Dish | San Francisco | Software Engineer or cofounder | REMOTE or ONSITE | Full-time

I've worked on ambitious, technically-challenging, world-changing ideas for the past 6 years, and I'm tired of it. They are intellectually rewarding but too often spiritually draining, being at the intersection of massive effort and a high chance of failure.

So, I've teamed up with an incredible developer/founder friend and we have a goal - build something both fun and deliverable! Fun to work on, fun to think about, and especially fun for the user. Something that solves my real-world problem, and absolutely does not involve "the enterprise" or any groundbreaking technology.

Dish is an app that makes it lightning fast to find "The best X" in your area, where X is a specific type of food - Pho, Wings, Tacos, etc. We're taking what Yelp is horrible at and fixing it (just try and find the best traditional asian food on Yelp... it's impossible). And we're making the interface as fun, fluid, and modern as possible.

The way I like to think of it is:

Yelp : Facebook :: Dish : Snapchat

Have you read Paul Grahams latest essay[0]? Yelp is a sleepy old giant, everyones' favorite app to vent about. By changing the review system to be instant just like taking a photo + to focus just on the dish, we'll modernize it, and I think the timing is just right.

Dish is perfect for social media + delivery services - it's 10x faster to find food for delivery, and reviewing a dish is literally just taking a picture (w/some ML classification), which you can share to Instagram/Facebook in a tap.

It's the foodie app you always wanted to build yourself. And now you can! Right now we have the perfect initial two people to bootstrap it (one super experienced product dev/design, one super experienced product/devops/backend), and we'd love to find just one more - a co-founder, developer type.

Just email me, address in profile.

PPC 32 bit is still used extensively in the embedded space. It's understandable that it's not the main target for newer languages as LLVM support seems to be sparse (and practically non-existent for some dialects such as Freescale PPC-VLE) but it would be great to enable safer embedded development.
No full, level 5, self-driving cars, but still 50% fewer traffic deaths due to increased driving automation.
Tempered glass is relatively modern. They didn't have strong solid single panes of glass back then; the concrete with glass inlays was the best way to make it stand up to traffic above.

"I had ten more meetings with doctors all over the Bay Area—surely not all of them were ruthless capitalists like Susan."

10 meetings is inadequate. You should be willing to do 1000+ meetings if you really want this to fly (or prove it cannot).

You could also explore other business models (ie. rather than charging the practice directly find another way to make money).

Even if it fails, valuable experience, not a waste. Cool idea, and admire your initiative.
It doesn’t matter if a fat person /can/ ride a bike, if they perceive it to be more difficult, chances are they won’t. Adoption is a huge part of the problem and comparing adoption in a country that already has the infrastructure and public perception work out is laughable. Also a good time to point out that an overweight person is much more at risk of injury on a bike, and we don’t have universal healthcare. When you hit a curb in a car, you screw up your alignment, when you do it on a bike you crash into the ground, if you are unlucky it could be bad. While we’re talking about the average American, I’m getting (on mobile) that the average commute in the US is 16 miles, that’s a long way on a bike, especially if hills and inclement weather are involved. Denmark is a highly urbanized country with a temperate climate, unlike vast swaths of the US, and it is also mostly flat.

A big part of that $800 monthly cost is related to how cars are treated as status symbols. My monthly cost of ownership is closer to $100, all thing included, and I can travel to and from work at 70 mph comfortably in virtual any conditions. People are going to feel absolutely miserable biking to work at their minimum wage job in inclement weather.

Also

>Urban biking doesn’t require athleticism

While I agree in principle seems factually untrue in the US in my experience. The people I know who haven’t been hit by a car/bus on their bike skews strongly towards the fit crowd. You have to be fast, agile and alert to not get hit in the US, sadly.

I’m also going to call BS on the west coast actually getting anything done on the mass transit front, possibly Seattle, I’m less familiar with how things get done there, but in California a billion dollars doesn’t go very far at all in the construction biz, don’t forget that the Eastern span of the bay bridge cost $6.5B, took over a decade, and had 0 costs associated with land acquisition and zoning. The high speed rail project is proving to be also be an enormous boondoggle.

Thanks - this validates many of the assumptions I had about this part of the process.

It has been challenging communicating many of these realities to non-technical folks, who seem to be quite misguided about implementing these types of systems as opposed to "non-ML" systems where there is a less imperfect and more predictable idea of what's possible, how well it will work, and how much effort is required to pull it off.

It’s not always necessary to explain why you think something might be possible in order to ask whether it’s useful. Ideally you could trust your team enough to assume that they wouldn’t waste your time with “what if X was possible” unless they had reason to think that it was possible.
It depends on how the lines are drawn. If you want to plow a road through existing houses today, it gets condemned -- taken by the government, lock, stock and barrel. In a new subdivision, they'll often deed the streets over to the city.

But sometimes, especially in the old days, the city just got a "right of way," not title to the land. And in that case, the owner could do anything it wanted, so long as it preserves the right of way. So if the city had a right of way to a sidewalk, it doesn't matter what you do under the sidewalk.
Here's an interesting discussion about right of way edges that appears to use Washington (State) law.[0]

Yer a wizard wageworks! Bad UX indicates a broken value chain
If you are a road cyclist, the plus of getting an ebike is that you can now do rides where your SO/friend rides your ebike and you ride your regular bike. This has enabled me to do rides with my wife (who is a bit shorter but fits on the ebike) where normally the difference in pace would be... painful.
I'd argue its not a competitive market in many cases. There are limits on your doctor choice depending on your insurer. You cannot shop around for a treatment, the hospital lines one up connected to their doctor's network and your insurance.
If I had no internet connection at my job at a tech startup I could literally do nothing.
Ha, that's good to hear. Would love to chat with you about it if you're interested.
> Experience. I am a farmer.

Fair enough.

> This is insurance.

Not by any reasonable definition of that word. It's a subsidy. The fact that you "file a claim" is just a way of using words to obfuscate what is really going on.

> There is also insurance against production output, which covers things like weather events.

This isn't really insurance either, because weather events that affect farm output are not rare (neither are price fluctuations, for that matter), and insurance is only supposed to insure against rare events. (Not to mention that risks that affect everybody, instead of just a small percentage of people, are not really insurable, as you yourself have already pointed out.)

> for every dollar required in insurance premiums, you pay 60¢, the government pays 40¢

What premiums?

Also, it makes no sense for the entity that is insuring you (the government) to pay part of your premium.

> The subsidies give no preference to what you want to grow.

Yes, they do, since there are only subsidies for certain crops.

> unless you have a large farm, there simply isn't much work to do. You need an off-farm job to remain viable. The customer isn't going to pay you to sit on HN all day long. They will pay enough to justify the time you do spend farming, but the rest of your time is up to you to figure out how to make it pay.

In other words, you are confirming that small farmers are at a disadvantage compared to large agribusinesses. Do you think large agribusinesses complain that customers don't pay enough for them to make a living at farming?

To some extent this could be due to economies of scale, but given modern technology I have difficulty believing that that alone is enough to account for the obvious disparity between your description of how tough it is for small farms to stay in business, and the position of large agribusinesses. If the government is supposed to be helping farmers stay in business, it clearly is not doing a very good job.
Yes, it does, though I had to set it to lock immediately in System Preferences (triggers immediately the screensaver; first guide you linked explains how to do this). I'm using the Word Of The Day screensaver, so it is really inspiring to get back from grabbing a cup of coffee.

Also, remember you only need to enter the PIN, which I'd argue is a good thing as I don't want to enter my password in public (I don't even know my password out of my head). If you boot up, you need a password of a username to unlock FileVault, but I use a different username for that (who does not have root, though for forensics this is an attack vector).

> "If we spend all this time and money labelling footage, how well is this going to work? How much footage do we need to label?"

Start by labeling some data yourself. If you need to scale things up, you're going to need very clear rubrics for how things should be labeled and you're not going to be able to make them without having labeled some data yourself.

Definitely think about what the easiest form of your task is. Labeling bounding boxes is time intensive, labeling whether there are 2 or more supervisors on the floor should be a lot easier, and you can easily label a bunch of frames all at once.

You're going to need to figure out what tooling you will need for labeling, is this available out of the box, or will you need something custom?

Label X data points yourself and do some transfer learning. Label another X data points and see how much better things get.

The rough rule of thumb is performance increases logarithmically with data[1]. After you have a few points on the curve about how much better things get from more data, fit a logarithmic curve and make a prediction of how much data you will need, though be prepared that you might be off by a factor of 10.

As others have mentioned, it's worth thinking about false positive/negative tradeoffs and how much you care about either.

If the numbers you're extrapolating to aren't satisfactory, then yeah, you need to keep messing around with your training until you bend the curve enough that it seems like you'll get there with labeled data.

"Easily solved - just have them wear special clothes." Everything is easy if you can arbitrarily change the requirements!
I don't think you can directly compare the prices of the coins, but you need to look at the reward that's at stake.

12.5 bitcoins every 10 minutes at 7277 USD/bitcoin = 9096 USD/minute

3 eth every 14 seconds at 132 USD/eth = 1697 USD/minute

then you'd expect the bitcoin miners to use 5.3x the energy of eth

EDIT: oh, someone already did the same calculations earlier a couple of comments below :)
In the specific case of the article, the developer was reacting to the doctor saying: "So I’d sorta just be, like, donating this money if I paid you for this thing, right?" This was not a price objection type statement.

Also, selling houses to people who did not have enough money for a house was the basis of an entire financial crisis. It looks like creative salesmen found a way around that.

You can argue some extremes if you want but exceptional salesmen are expected to sell ice to eskimos and sand to arabs. And I would expect them to handle the pretty simple objections raised in this article, especially those around price concerns.

I wanted to make that same choice for the same reasons, but they turned out to be illegal to ride in public where I live (Sydney). Instead I bought an e-bike and it was probably the best purchase I've ever made.

Can you please stop posting snarky and/or unsubstantive comments to HN? You've been doing it quite a bit, and we're trying for something different than that here.

It's particularly important when threads are new, because they're so responsive to initial conditions.

It is possible that something like the War of Assassins (Dune Universe, sorry) happens. Iran knows that it cannot openly strike civilian targets less it draws the ire of China and Russia nor could it match the US military in open combat, so that leaves Iran targeted assassinations in response, which their asymmetric units are perfectly fit to do. I'd be concerned if I were a high-level civilian admin or military officer in the US government. The US is not going to glass Teran in response to a high-level US official being killed either as again it would draw the ire of the World community. Expect Assinantions.
That's demonstrably not true. There are a few specific DLLs that have separate versions shipped in the same OS build (like comctl32), but 99% of DLLs have only x86/x64 versions.
I don't agree with that, and I hope "most people" would not agree with that either. With copyright infringement, the original copy still exists. With theft, the original copy changed ownership. The harm and impact are very different and less obvious.
So you bring up a good example. Imagine something scary happened to the account, and the user needs to provide some additional details or fix something. How can I as a company inform the user about this and get them to fix this?

The incentive from the senders side is to get the person receiving it to do something. If that's good or bad, it's harder to say than draw a line in the middle. Currently, bunch of companies and other entities are finding the whole clickbait super useful, and it's only natural that bad actors take advantage of this. But who is the bad actor? Turns out a lot of them, but on different levels.
Ok sure in that context I can’t think of any. The closest thing I know of (with a limited understanding of what you mean) is NFS4.2.

What does "up until the economy is up to the right" mean? up to the right sounds like a good growth path to me.
Lookup “central bank credit guidance”.

Japanese central bankers figured out a way of creating money for purposes that are good for society. Like AI, Quantum computing or bio technology and any other hyped up stuff you see on internet.

There were many bad consequences in the past because of money created that way.

With the way SoftBank is giving away money, it looks like “smart credit guidance” is still happening with out any public policy or public awareness.
It hasn't changed. Astrology uses actual astronomical observations and predictions about the movement of planets, which is scientific (astronomy), and uses them to make predictions about events on Earth, the behaviour of people, or whatnot, which isn't.

That was the case then, it's still the case now.

The difference is that we now know what is fact and what is fiction so that astrology is relegated to harmless issues... Astrology to decide medical treatments is no longer tolerated or legal, but to decide who to date still is.
Beheaded burials can occur for other reasons. A few hundred years ago, some people were so afraid of being buried alive that they instructed they be beheaded before burial. The proceedure was not always documented. Dig up that grave for some reason years later and it will look very odd. Others, including some English kings, had thier hearts removed so it could be buried elsewhere, or go on crusade. That too would look very odd. Combine the two and you have a very vampire burial.
If you want another one, check out the WykD Fast Bowline. It can be tied as both a regular version and a quick release. It is even simpler but has less symmetry. Interestingly, the quick release is more structurally sound with this one. There is also a variant of the Somerville where the loop is made backwards, which seems to go by Struggler’s knot. It purports to be nearly as strong, and supposedly can be tied with one hand.

Also, there is a method of tying the Somerville called the reverse Somerville. It’s the same knot but tied inline rather than with the bight.

The downside to the Somerville is that you generally can’t get it really tight around the object. A variant of it exists which allows you to do so at the cost of a bulkier knot: before making the loop, cross the bight over all the rope, go under it and come back to where it just was, similar to how you would start a reef knot. I have used that technique before with some success but not enough to recommend it beyond messing around.
Also, that sentence should come only after you exhausted the ways to help that you already know. If someone already voiced needing help with something during past conversations, they won't repeat that thing while answering that question.

> i just leave the leftover box in the car.

I prefer not to have the food stink up my car.

> not sure how your food goes bad, if it's good in the restaurant... usually food doesn't go bad so quickly,

It's not that it goes bad, it's that it's not as good reheated the next day as something that I could just cook up myself, so I'll cook.

This depends a lot on what the dish is, though. Some dishes are OK the next day, but most aren't.

> but maybe you are one of those people who have some irrational aversion to leftovers

No, I have no aversion to leftovers in general, but again, it depends a lot on what the dish is. When I cook at home, I arrange my meal plan so that I can use any leftovers from one meal as an ingredient in the next day's meal.

Declassified FBI files reveal new details about relationship with KKK informant
To me, it's rather strange that he calls on "unusual economists" but apparently one of the requirements for being unusual is simply knowledge of mainstream theories. Surely the unusual economists are the post-Keynesians, Sraffians, Marxians and Austrians. In fact, even a Nobel Prize winner like Sen would be more unusual than anyone he's summoning with that list. From the topics he lists as what might be discussed, it seems he's much more interested in economics grads with an interest in AI than in economics grads with, say, an interest in Veneziani and Yoshihara's work on mathematical proofs of FMT or Roemer's game-theoretical approach to capitalist markets.

For all the talk of being "rational", the "rationalsphere" and unfortunately now a UK government minister have neglected learning about social science, political philosophy, and the critiques of utilitarianism in favour of... what, I'm not sure. One starts to see this repeatedly; Scott Alexander's only encounter with Marxian sociology, for instance, comes from a "Very Short Introduction" book by Peter Singer of all people. Even subject areas one would expect would appeal to them, such as game-theoretic Rational Choice Marxian economics have completely missed their radar.

Perhaps it would be better if Cummings were to educate himself on the wealth of heterodox economics (and I say this just because he wants "weirdos"), political philosophy and sociology - because at the moment it looks like he wouldn't hire a Nozick, Friedman or Roemer, and he definitely wouldn't hire a Rawls, Sen or Marx.

"Unusual" for this man means "rationalist", technocratic, LessWrong reader, and capitalist free market evangelist.

> And the only cost is that old binaries (not old code, old binaries) will no longer run without being rebuilt.

Not always true. There's plenty of 32bit code that can't trivially be ported over to 64bit, even if you have the full source for all the dependencies. e.g. maybe the file formats have padding or pointer width assumptions - now you need a compatibility shim whenever loading/saving the files. Maybe the code has implicit padding assumptions, which are not documented anywhere - now you'll get occasional random functionality bugs that are a huge effort to catch and debug.

It is not always a matter of flipping a compile-time switch for the developers, even if they are still around, and have all the source, and all the libraries and whatnot.
That's true, but when people say "Ethereum is used for money laundering", that's not what they mean, so it's not a useful argument. If it helps, just substitute "organized crime" for "money laundering". That's what people mean.
