Hi I’m Mark, I’m an Applied ML Scientist and Product Designer. I'm the founder of yuri.ai where my goal is to make it really easy for game developers to balance their games using Reinforcement Learning. I’m looking for a job because the Lebanese banking system is collapsing and I’ll soon need income to support my parents.

How I can help you:

I can write top notch documentation and can explain anything to anyone: My book robotoverlordmanual.com is a visual and accessible robotics, ML and math textbook with over 28000 monthly viewers. I’m very comfortable writing and speaking.

I can manage your most complex projects: I was the BI lead when Microsoft was selling its display ads business to AOL, I made sure Outlook AI efforts were compliant. I’ve worked on projects with 100+ stakeholders and have bootstrapped projects where I was the first engineer to 10 engineers.

I can turn your research into a product: I’ve done this with Yuri, I’ve done this at Microsoft when I was working on a next gen email ranker and a part of speech tagger and I’ve done this at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory when I was setting up their computer security anomaly detection pipeline from scratch

I can setup your entire BI infrastructure and measure what matters: I’ve done this for more than 10 teams at Microsoft. I will help you find and measure the metrics that are most indicative of your product success.

I will also get along with your dev team: I have extensive science and development experience and can tell the difference between realistic work and sci-fi. I have extensive experience with tooling and research in BI, ML, RL and game dev.

Please ask me questions!
It'll vary heavily by state and local law. In most cases they expect you to groom or otherwise manage your outdoor space, but no one will protest if you put several raised beds full of veggies or flowers. Plenty of folks in New Mexico or Arazona who only have cacti and stones in front of their place, etc.
The supreme court struck down the refusal to disperse welfare payments to new residents as unconstitutionally restricting freedom to travel. I gurantee you that taxing new residents would be struck down for the exact same reason.

>After all, we all have to pay move-in fees when we lease a new apartment or buy a house.

That has no bearing on this at all. Private companies are free to do many things the government can't.
I thoroughly recommend watching the John Cleese video. As you say, these are instructions on carving out some time (90 minutes) for creative thinking and better decision making; https://youtu.be/bC-gBeQYHls
Are you looking for the option to automate the testing of your games, video streams or other media?

AdQuick | Senior Software Engineers, Designers, Product Managers, Full-time | Venice, CA | Onsite or Remote | https://www.adquick.com
AdQuick is building the AdWords for Billboards.

We've built software that makes it easy for marketers to plan a traditional direct buy of outdoor ads, and now we're working on software that will enable marketers & business owners to place ads on real-world digital screens programmatically in real-time, via software or APIs.

This is a totally new market that's rapidly growing, especially as digital screens get cheaper and as Facebook and Google Ad CPMs continue to get expensive and saturated.

A little about us: AdQuick is an Instacart-mafia company – the initial co-founders met there, and we've since hired several other folks that used to work there with us.

We're 3 years old, we have 35 people total and an engineering team of 11. We've raised funding from Garry Tan & Alexis Ohanian's VC firm, Initialized Capital.

We're looking for:

- Experience in Ruby, Rails, React, Webpack, Postgres or similar technologies. TypeScript and Ruby Sorbet experience are also welcomed.

- 3+ years experience working on production systems

- People who actively want the startup experience: taking a lot of ownership, having a big impact, and building amazing products that customers love.

I can understand setting aside time to not get on HN or twitter, but how does a developer keep up without these? As in, work on a needed library for weeks only to find out later that there's a good open source one that meets your needs? Or just be alerted to alternatives to investigate, like PyTorch vs. TensorFlow?

If this is a way of advancing the case that PHP is no longer bad, well, sure. I allowed for that, it may be true, I can’t say. We were discussing whether it was ever bad, which it clearly was. But sure.

On the other hand, if you’re trying to nerd-snipe me into a debate over the meaning of the word “classic”... :)

I’ve gotta disagree with your characterization. At least in the field of jeremiads, surely the criteria can’t solely be timelessness - that’d imply that an essay that successfully inspires change couldn’t be a classic (not that that’s what happened here, I’m not directly attributing anything to anyone). Words are hard to pin down, but I think when it comes to screeds, what’s “classic” could be, in fact, whether it provoked some kind of change - if at the time it won hearts and minds. Or, what’s “classic” could be not necessarily about the specific thing it’s arguing against, but instead about the underlying principles guiding that argument. Or maybe it’s about the style, panache, humour, or clarity with which those principles are argued. Maybe some combination of all of the above.

No one programs with gotos much anymore, but “Go To Statement Considered Harmful” is probably safe to call a classic. America is an independent nation and King George no longer holds the British throne, but nevertheless the Declaration of Independence is certainly a classic text. For reasons of style, persuasiveness, its underlying principles (I think anyone designing a PL should have read it), and its widespread popularity and influence at the time it was written, I think the PHP essay counts as a classic too. YMMV.
I'm normally the critic of dangerous satellite stuff (anti-satellite weapons, spy satellites getting dangerously close to each other, etc) but I love this idea. The problem seems well defined, there's lots of eyes on it and the result would be so grand. Meteor showers are so beautiful and having people enjoy them more often is so wonderful.

We've "regulated [it] away" in the sense that drugs that only pull in $1m a year aren't considered economically viable. I'm not sure regulation is the appropriate villian in this case.

FTA:
>new antibiotics typically end up with list prices in the $2,000 — $3,000 range (for a one-time cure!) while payers gladly shell out tens or hundreds of thousands for cancer drugs or medicines for rare genetic diseases. Low sales volumes (due to stewardship) and low price points (due to DRG-driven pricing pressures) result in minimal sales for novel antibiotics. Achaogen’s new antibiotic was seeing unimpressive sales of around a million dollars per quarter before the company folded. At these sales figures, the company would have never recouped the cost of developing the drug.

Of course, we don't want antibiotics to cost $10k a unit, much less $100k. Thus my question about the implicit assumption that the same development pipeline that's working on $100k+ cancer drugs is suitable for antibiotic development.
One issue is that intellectual property is vastly different in military and healthcare industries. It'd be a monumental task to re-create an aircraft carrier or fighter jet in another country, but recreate a drug that's taken billions to develop? Well that takes a small team of organic chemists and a small factory in India or elsewhere. Furthermore, vaccines are not typical drugs, they are one-use only, which is not a good profit-generator...there is not a good corollary in the military space for one-off vs. chronic drugs.

The comparison of the two industries is a stretch, IMO. Completely different business models.
Being able to isolate the part of the experience that deals with time sounds like it could create some interesting/horrific implications for society.

You could give a criminal multi-century prison sentences for crimes and they still have their life left at the end of it all. You could contract the boring parts of your life and extend the interesting ones. Forget "living to work", you could do a full day's work in the blink of an eye and have a decade-long evening to enjoy life.

> Alright, so let's nationalize them.

Wouldn't that make things worse? This is a failure by government, adding more government doesn't exactly seem like the right solution.
That's a pretty good example. Now imagine you want to structure your code in a way that render('record-not-found') happens in a caller to that block. So exceptions as a general approach work pretty well to allow simple code organisation according to your needs.

And you are the one who knows best if something is an expected failure, so wrap that up in a fetch_one_or_none() — as a matter of fact, most DB interfaces I work with have an API of the kind.

Basically, exceptions are a decent way to keep what might need to be a separate control flow, well, separate. And you can choose at any time to "join them in". As a concept, they are quite like interrupts on the very low (hardware) level, so you can learn only one "tool" to deal with them.

(And yes, I can trivially find cases where I want errors to bubble up when a record is not found, eg. a required configuration record or similar)
Yup. And hope that the channel is not being similarly used for many other things and generating alert fatigue.
What's wrong with the Dragon Book? Obviously, the older versions won't cover SSA. However, in general, for a hobby project, single-static assignment and abstract interpretation (the modern bits) are only going to help with a very tiny part of the compiler (the optimizer). By the time you need a "lot" of SSA (LICM, SCEV, PEO-register assignment, etc.), you're looking at an easy 10-years of effort, so there'd be no need for an "intro" book at that point...

> changing out the filter capacitors in the power supply and CRT. What else? Would every capacitor be suspect?

Given the timeframe the article quoted for the most recent cabinet (1980-1981), they all predate the capacitor plague [1] by nearly two decades. It is possible that the capacitors in the PSU's of these games might still be close enough to spec. to not need any replacement. But given the folks who picked them up, they are likely to test everything extensively and then decide what to replace based on that testing.

yeah, because they stand away from risk. Looks like a good idea in 2008-2010 (that's why Ginnie). Not as much when you have had bull market for over a decade.
Are you? Never heard of that, but it looks pretty cool.
> don’t include logic for checking for EOF. Let the exception handler catch it where the file will be closed

What happens if the file is smaller than you anticipate?

That's why exceptions aren't used for flow control.

You can also choose to stop playing the game and wrap any checked Exception in an unchecked RuntimeException. Or, if you use Lombok, you can apply the @SneakyThrows annotation to quiet the compiler. As the idea that checked exceptions were a design mistake gains mindshare, you see these tricks more and more in newer codebases.

Ask HN: Why is labour priced differently from physical goods
How come labor i.e high skilled labor is priced differently from physical goods. eg an iPhone retail price is still ~700$ regardless of retail location. Yet the hourly rate of a skilled engineer varies wildly depending on region | locality. Assuming the skills & quality of an engineer are consistent across locales. yeah, market forces could've a play, but isn't it one of those cases where the market mis-prices a product | good ?
The money would have been returned as dividends instead. For-profit companies are not intended to exist just to spend all profits on themselves (although Amazon is one obvious counter example amongst many).
How do you wager Pharma makes good revenue from this? Compared to a chronically used drug like a statin, they DON'T stand to gain that much. It's a tragedy of the commons...any one company or nation could invest heavily, but it's a vaccine...therefore, it'll be widely disseminated once and it'll be cheap. It won't be taken years on end like a statin: MUCH less revenue; I'm not sure pharma would be interested without great incentives.
> has tax incentives that penalize ICE's

You can seriously distort the competitive landscape if you are willing to put a 100% tax on one of the alternatives. A lot can be achieved with unlimited amounts of other people's money.
Also those eREITs like Fundrise.
its a very, very simple update alert to add to Prometheus to monitor that, and alert if the cert is within so many days of expiring. You need the 'blackbox exporter' and a simple rule such as:

Yes, and: fix bugs so the setup doesn’t break. I’m constantly babysitting LetsEncrypt. It’s always failing in some stupid way, and all it can go is Email me with: “Ive been silently failing for the last couple of months and now your certificate is going to expire if you don’t drop everything and comb through my logs now LOL!”

This time the problem was LE all of a sudden decided to start storing my certificate in a directory called mydomain.com-0001 instead of mydomain.com, breaking the rest of the setup that relies on things being in the right directory. Automation is only useful when the software behaves predictably and consistently.

Maybe not such a stretch. The nation wants aircraft carriers, and ideally wants other countries not to have similar ones. The nation also wants vaccines, but if the rest of the world gets to copy them, so much the better! Then perhaps the pandemic stops closer to source.

In both of these, the proposed business model is that you make what the government asks you to make. And of course you build your factories in certain senator's backyards, and so on... it's not going to be done for precisely the minimum possible cost. But it can get done.
