Arena | Active learning AI for pricing | NYC | https://arena-ai.com/

Hiring 1 Machine Learning Scientist & 1 Front-end engineer. Founded by YC alum (Kimono W14). Team = 5 people. Founded 1 year ago. Profitable. Hyper-linear growth.

Email us at careers@arena-ai.com

Today we are focused on pricing. We built a simulator that models hyper-specific market conditions and competitive dynamics to allow human users and AI agents to predict what will happen if they change the price of a product.

Pricing is just the start. We plan to create simulated, virtual copies of many more real environments - with the ultimate purpose of training a broader set of reinforcement learning agents for different tasks.

jihadology.net isn't blocked

"The National Investigation Agency (NIA) believes that a US-based blog that collects and analyses communications from terror organisations and is used extensively for academic research was one of several “jihadi sites” that was used to radicalise a young person from West Bengal and encourage him to become an ISIS member"

Most terrorist recruitment happens on sites like instagram, facebook, tiktok, etc anyway.

"The Police Service of Northern Ireland has said that it is investigating reports that social networking sites are being used to recruit children - some as young as 13 - into dissident Republican groups.

The news comes as Northern Ireland faces an upsurge in activity by dissident Republicans. Last month, for the first time in over a decade, a British soldier was killed in Northern Ireland."
Is it by design that I can't swipe on the "parent" of multiple instances of the same activity?

To create your list you just grabbed a bunch of countries that claimed they were socialist/communist (some of whom weren't and didn't claim to be such as Rwanda). The above is a list of countries that claim to be socialist or are run by a socialist party that hadn't committed any atrocities. It's unreasonable to discount the above list because "it's only a matter of time until ... more blood is shed" because you can't predict the future.
Thank you! It looks like virtual camera only works on Windows for those who are interested.

Sheetless | Front-End Engineer | London (Remote) | Full Time | https://sheetless.io

Sheetless is creating a modelling tool to bridge the gap between spreadsheets and specialist packages, helping people to move their knowledge about the systems they know out of their heads and spreadsheets. We're making it easier for people to understand systems and make better decisions to improve them, whether that's a business, or the environment.

We're a SaaS product, developing using TypeScript/Rust languages. On the frontend we're using a stack of React/Redux/Next.js/Material UI, along with some Rust modules powering the simulations. As a first hire, we're looking for someone comfortable and capable to build out new UI/UX around building simulations, with a focus on making things accessible for non-experts.

We're early stage, with initial funding and eager first customers. We're fully remote, but with a preference for being within a timezone or two of the UK.

> But the idea that consciousness is an emergent property of matter and energy is appealing, because it opens the door to the idea that we are all facets of the same thing.

I think it makes more sense if matter and energy emerge from consciousness though. If the universe is pure math, then only consciousness can make us think that there are real physical objects and energy. Put another way, if you think the basic explanation of the universe is consciousness, then you don't have to explain matter. If you think matter (and physics) is at the root of the universe, then you still have to explain consciousness.
This is what anti-spoofing is for - it's trivial to deny calls from India or Russia or whatever if you're not doing any business there, the problem is that currently they're spoofing a local number.

If you're being called from a local number, then this should mean (and outside of USA actually means) that there's somebody who's subject to local law and fully responsible for ensuring that the spam laws are met. If you're a telecoms operator sending in calls to the nework, then you ensure that the fines get paid - the spammers are, naturally, liable, but if you enable access to scammers in an unreachable jurisdiction or insolvent shell companies, well, it's coming out of your pocket and it's your problem on how to recover these losses. In USA, however, telecoms who specialize in providing such access to phone spammers have a legal and profitable business model. This needs to change.
It wasn't until I read the commentary that I realized that Dark Sky has Android developers. That may end up being an uncomfortable choice between quickly learning Swift or being phased out.
While this is all very interesting, there's a pretty deeply embedded bias on display here.

"authoritarian governance is defined by highly concentrated power structures that repress dissent and emphasize submission to authority, social conformity, and hostility towards outgroups"

... is a very problematic way of articulating this - to the point of promoting ignorance, because it's frankly how someone with a Liberal Democratic mindset would describe the system, but not others. I would argue that it's not objective because it may not capture the essence of such systems, rather, it just highlights the 'downsides' as seen from the other side.

Others might describe systems as possibly more collective or communitarian wherein legitimate central authorities have considerably better ability to manage affairs, particularly wherein such controls can have a material effect, i.e. 'pandemic', 'war' and maybe even things like infrastructure or other national challenges.

What people in 'liberal democracy' might see as 'individual choice', others might see as 'selfish, self-interested' possibly 'greedy' behaviour, actions that show little regard for others, only the self. The natural result of such behaviours might be 'inability to respond in a coherent manner to collective problems'.

Of course, where there is centralised power, there's an opportunity for it to be corrupt wherein you might have arbitrary and bad acting here and there, but I don't think to describe a system by its downsides is right.

This is especially important because the correlation may not be with authoritarianism as described, but possibly with group unity, collectivism or something else.

Edit: I should add, systems with strong 'central control' that some might describe as 'authoritarian' like Singapore, South Korea etc., have tamed and controlled Coronavirus and have exemplary responses. Their economies are not collapsing, they are in school, they are not dying en masse.

Meanwhile, 'Liberal Democracies' economies are collapsing, facing massive casualties, dying in hordes.

Imagine how stupid we must look to them? They literally showed us 'how to do it' but we're either too self-focused or possibly 'don't understand' how they are organized.
I think "segment" is the right word here--I'm not sure political affiliation isn't almost entirely orthogonal to one's take on the pandemic. Doomers, for example, are generally thought to be very right wing, and I read an early opinion piece in the NYT about the virus written by an obvious progressive that was essentially "stop worrying so much about it".

simdjson does not modify the input, fyi. Rather than \0, which isn't really a part of JSON, the SIMD instructions search for whitespace and JSON structure like commas, colons, etc.
It’s not a spoofed dialog, it’s the app asking the system (using a rather dangerous API) to ask you to grant access. It’s a legit system prompt. The app doesn’t see your password. It’s like sudo rm doesn’t give your password to rm. Can we stop the misinformation?

IMO the real reason open floor plans persist is because it's cheaper for the company than the alternatives (cubicles, offices). The more people you can pack into work "pods" the better.
Like most things in life, I believe the answer involves finding balance between the two :)
I'm sure there are other reasons, but three understandable reasons I've seen:

1) The lack of e2e encryption despite trying to market themselves as having secure video chat.

2) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22749805 (comment in this thread - they literally phish you)

3) https://twitter.com/c1truz_/status/1244737672930824193 abusing the traditional installation process on OSX

EDIT:
OK (2) may be a real system prompt - https://twitter.com/DigitalResist0r/status/12452813782932807...? I didn't see anyone else in the twitter thread claim that it was using a real system dialog, so I'd still say it was poor practice of them to have such a shady looking system dialog.

How to Increase Your Python Code Performance
Bunq or any financial services company is in a perfect position to trace these criminals. If they would create some actual Bunq login accounts and actual Bunq ATM card numbers, with zero balance or low $5 balance, they could feed some of these account numbers to the malware site before shutting it down, and later monitor where those account numbers end up getting used.

Does anyone know if banks, MasterCard, Visa, etc., are already doing this? It seems obvious and straightforward, but maybe banks are averse to giving out actual credentials (no matter how limited the account) in case something goes wrong.
Hello, I have been applying for the UN many many times. I have lots of skills that I could apply and I have a PhD in Computational Science and data analytics.

I will apply again using the website. Thank you
Telephone numbers are a synchronous interactive channel. If someone calls you to have a chat, they pay for your attention with their own. They can say something to you, and you can in turn say something back to them.

Robocalls shove someone else's voice into your ear, without offering you an ear in return. They signal a synchronous communication, and then reneg on that promise with a spammed asynchronous message.

"Political speech" is the same as every other kind of speech. There should be no exemptions for policy just because someone running for office is involved. They have the same duty of courtesy as everyone else, and we have the same right to block our ears from their spam messages as businesses and scams.
"a strongman willing to swoop in and take decisive action does sound appealing"

Or maybe a group of people facing existential calamity actually do need fairly strong leadership?

Taiwan and especially Singapore might be characterized as much less 'liberal democratic' than the US, and they have already tamed coronavirus while the US flails and a lot of people are dying. Maybe that's not a perfect example, but it surely illustrates the point.
You would think that whistle-blower protection, freedom of speech, or occupational safety laws would prevent this from happening.

Just as a stop sign doesn't physically make your car stop at an intersection, a law won't prevent someone from firing someone else illegally. A fired employee can bring bring a wrongful termination suit, but the recently fired rarely have the means to see these through, even in the best of times. Employers know this.

Sounds like that book takes the heteronormative approach that abusers are always men and victims always women. That's problematic because it erases gay victims, lesbian victims, and straight male victims, all of whom already have even less cultural and legal support as victims than straight female victims do.
Very interesting read. I appreciated how it was written, showing all the steps and how to overcome them.

Kids don't even need to try to have drag queens, homosexuality, and other degeneracy rammed down their throats.

The computers would still stop working eventually; the universe as we know it also has a finite lifespan, and a machine will always require some amount of energy to function.
Agree with the idea that it depends a lot on many factors, many of them unique to each person. I'm sad that we interpret averaged figures as "data proves that [...]" as if we were trying to win a war of opinions instead of trying to make everyone's life better.

What kind of work do you do? What type of person are you? What's your work space, both at the office and at home? Who's your boss and which are the work dynamics at your workplace? How many distractions do you have there vs at home? How long do you have to commute if you go to the office? And how annoying is it?

I feel we are still pretty new at all this and really suck at it. There are many ideas very unexplored, like making pairs or small groups from time to time to let employees that are geographically close work together in some projects, and have flexibility to organize their work inside their own group. Who knows, maybe in 100 years, for the types of jobs that allow it, we won't have such strict employee - company relationships, and we will focus more on projects, with spaces and teammates being something more flexible, where we have a say in the way we want to organize. That might be interesting.
Yes, it's mobile only. It does not track what you're doing on your phone—you tell it what you're doing and it keeps track of it.

I use it at work for recording when I'm in meetings, when I'm actively developing, when I've researching, etc—things that I need to report but don't want to manually write down and things that aren't captured by things like screentime. I always have my phone with me and handy, whereas I don't always have my computer with my nor handy.

I've been using OBS to run a trivia game over YouTube.

It's kind of a piece of shit. The Mac port is horrible. None of the widgets work properly, all the menu items are in the wrong place, and it supports essentially no system keyboard shortcuts. Like cmd+F doesn't do "Find…", it randomly resizes the thing you're editing. It's everything bad about Qt apps in one place. It also ships with its own 180MB copy of Chromium embedded because, you know, how could anyone write a desktop app without a copy of Chrome these days?

Simple things like doing a presentation of slides are unintuitive and kludgey at best, and sometimes impossible. There are features revealed in the UI that, after digging through the forums, you'll discover are actually unimplemented. The audio mixing is very lacking; there's no easy cough button and the levels indicator doesn't work properly.

So does anyone know of any alternatives?
