Survata | Principal/Staff Data/Distributed Systems Engineer | San Francisco | Full-time | ONSITE (REMOTE during COVID, ONSITE after)

About Survata:

Survata is a YC/venture-funded startup that helps large enterprises plan, measure, and optimize brand advertising campaigns. We offer a comprehensive set of tools that help our Fortune 500 clients to understand and improve how they’re perceived in the marketplace, how aware consumers are of the value they provide, and how much consumers trust them to provide the value they promise.

About the Role:

Survata has built an excellent backend system for gathering and statistically analyzing data on consumer sentiment. But our revenue and client list are growing fast, which means we've got to adapt to new levels of scale in our data pipelines. We're looking at doing a substantial overhaul of our data pipelines to prepare us for our next stage of growth. We need experienced technical leaders help us rationalize our cloud costs, architect a new high-efficiency system, and help us develop a highly scalable, highly maintainable set of pipelines.

> Dare I say it, but maybe we should look to the likes of Zork for inspiration for voice input.

On that note, there's nothing intrinsic here, really, to why these need to be voice interfaces. Based on watching the video[1] and my experience using voice interfaces, if my hands are already on the keyboard, I'd wager I can type some of these things as quickly as if I'd spoken them and waited for the agent to keep up (even assuming they can).

I'm also surprised that the Awesomebar-/Sublime Text-/VSCode-style command palette hasn't by now become a ubiquitous feature of user interfaces. I'm really surprised they haven't replaced for many use cases the combo of Bash running in a terminal emulator, given how well-known a problem it is to have to remember the args to infrequently used commands. And I'd rather type "it" (as in in delete it) than to ever type "$_" even once—let alone ask someone with a straight face to remember that this is the way to do things when you're talking to the computer.

The most efficient way is probably to "cheat" by having all the guests share the path data. Perhaps when a guest enters the maze, she only chooses a winning path 10% of the time, but as she spends more time in the maze she chooses winning paths more frequently, until she is nearly guaranteed to walk right to the exit.

Well... I am not suggesting anything.

There are two types of viruses: airborne and not airborne. Airborne can survive for some time outside bodily fluids.

Aerosol == bodily fluid that is still liquid. It is just in the form of very small droplets that are now drying out. Depending on conditions this lasts very shortly. It spreads the virus, of course, but aerosol dries out quickly and viruses that are not airborne die (well.. viruses do not live in the usual sense, basically their proteins get damaged).

Of course if somebody coughs in your direction some of the aerosol can be inhaled or reach your retina or get on your hands and you can get infected.

No, I am not suggesting droplets cannot spread the disease, the opposite is true. Droplets are much better transmitter of disease if they can reach the target.
I have never been able to fathom why anyone thought that hazard lights and turn indicators should be mutually exclusive.
Not sure if you meant to reply to me, but I agree with you about the cameras.

Not sure I just about the storage, though. I have a Pixel 2 with 128 gigs, and I occasionally find myself having to go through and delete some things to make room for whatever new thing I want. If they're not going to include a micro SD slot (which I would prefer), then they really do need to put a generous amount of flash on the device.
You've got a point, but consumers are consistently more and more tired of ads. I've clicked on one out of the hundreds of thousands I've been shown.

Whereas if I look up a question on google, I'm clicking. And I probably do that twice a day at least.

Overall, I think it's definitely worth it. Yes it takes time, but it's not that hard, and it's evergreen if you target the right long tail keywords!! :)
I admit, that's pretty sweet.
I think you misunderstood the v0.x scoping algorithm. In v0.x, there were 3 scoping situations described in the documentation (function, toplevel, and outer). In v1.0, there was essentially 1 (plus clarifications on what a variable was "local" to in various, generally toplevel, situations). Now there are 2, but TOPLEVEL also emits the following warning, that you didn't mention, since it sees the behavior diverges between them:

Warning: Assignment to `l` in soft scope is ambiguous because a global variable by the same name exists: `l` will be treated as a new local. Disambiguate by using `local l` to suppress this warning or `global l` to assign to the existing global variable.

And while you write "same piece of code", the code you then paste is not the same: the statement "local" appears in a different statement block, leading to it being executed in a subsequent scope block.
no one claimed it was a feature. it has a jack, some phones don't, so they state it does. this does not mean 'feature.'

it's a part of the spec, so they list it. it's not sad or bad or good -it just is.

for me, i want just usb-c, and no headphone port is a plus. same for sd card, same for removable battery. i thought all of those were important to me, until i realized i haven't actually used any of this in 10 years. yes, a headphone port adds just a tiny bit of thickness and weight. so does the removable battery. so does an sd reader. it all adds up, and adds a little cost. for things i don't want.

so not a feature, not advertized as one, and for a lot of people, not something they want. you do, so get the phone that suits you.

So you're disappointed that Mike Innes and a handful of other open source contributors haven't quite caught up yet with the efforts of Google and Facebook pouring billions of dollars into TensorFlow and PyTorch in pursuit of one of the most lucrative and hyped modern markets?

Well, for that it depends on what you're into. For traditional, coding bootcamp machine learning, Flux.jl is still behind, but I'd point out that the only high performance, usable NeuralODE library is still built on Flux.jl and DifferentialEquations.jl as far as I understand and mostly consists of some import statements and a few function compositions / overloads. Someone already did deep learning on fully homomorphic encrypteded data using Flux.jl. Many 'niche', cutting edge things are still best done with Flux.jl because Flux is fundamentally more flexible than things like PyTorch and TensorFlow. It's using the entire programming language as a framework in a very generic way that PyTorch and Tensorflow can only ape by building ever more complex custom compilers and DSLs with ever diverging semantics from Python.

If Flux.jl is an example of the Julia community's failures to compete I'd say we have very little to worry about, and I look forward to seeing what a well funded commercial entity could build in Julia with a few billion dollars.

I think the difference is that this is a (potentially) higher level of risk for a generic product. You can avoid it by simply avoiding the plane, which will be trivial for some consumers.
This just reads like a godot advertisement...it only has good things to say about godot and only bad things to say about any other library. It's really hard to take the article seriously with so much blatant bias. It also seems to leave out any technical information that a developer using the engine would want to know, like how well it integrates with existing code, what paradigms it uses compared to other UI engines, or whether it uses lazy rendering or if it constantly runs at 60fps, etc.

I would be convinced if you can find a Chinese citizen, in China, posting about Pro Taiwan or Pro Hong Kong videos on TikTok.
A satellite connection is still dependent on BGP routing to get to China/RoW and still goes via the Great Firewall to connect to China (if outside of China, not sure on how the miners in China do it - possibly they don't have satellite equipment at all). Poisoning BGP routes is well within the capability of state actors, and China could of course decide to block its firewall.
So for things like Carrd.co and other single page apps I've used, the SEO is dodgy at best.

I think since standard content is hard to do on those types of sites, your best bet is going to be a lot of backlinks, but even then, it's hard to rank for keywords if your website is structured like a landing page, not a blog.

That's just what I would assume though!! Good question!!!
Payment was to a US citizen who was doing some charitable work in Niger, and the individual isn't working on behalf of a charity.

I appreciate the information though.
At a few nuclei per cubic meter, the particles can hardly be interacting at all, even though, being ions, they interact without actually getting very close to one another, unlike particles in a gas.

Moreover, the "million-degree" figure is actively misleading. Temperature is really a measure of average particle speed, in a reference frame where they have zero average velocity. (This is why rocket exhaust as it exits the bell is said to have low temperature and pressure -- the particles are moving very fast, but in one direction.)

In the intergalactic medium, if the atoms are fully ionized, the electrons are the ones moving like bats out of hell. The atoms, mostly hydrogen, are at least 1836 times more massive ("but graceful for their size"), so going much, much slower. The average of the two motions defines the temperature. The electrons' paths bend when they get close to another electron or ionized atom, and emit synchrotron radiation that is just at the right energy to be absorbed by another electron not far away.

Since the density is so low, blackbody radiation that escapes must be very dim. Orbital x-ray telescopes might see a fog if they are sensitive enough, but the photons it picks up probably originate in much nearer interactions.

Anyway that is my guess.
I really like that :)
I'm also absolutely not an expert on this (M.Sc. CS).

I would argue using Big O here is wrong and Landau symbols are not well defined on Markov chains/probabilistic turing machines. The point of Landau symbols is to give asymptotic bounds of functions with N approaching a certain value (usually positive infinity). My intuition says that the runtime of a probabilistic turing machine isn't necessarily a function tho (i.e. a deterministic association between any N and time(N)).

Google wasn't really helpful on complexity theory of Markov chains and based on the research papers that pop up it seems far enough away that I would avoid using Big O in this scenario.

Probabilistic turing machines even seem to have their own complexity classes (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probabilistic_Turing_machine).
Ok I'll bite on the terms of someone bought into the way things are: pensions are just deferred compensation; by cutting them you would effectively be unilaterally tearing up a contract that both sides agreed to. In addition: pensions are paid for when the work is done, not after the fact.
This seems pretty similar to the Longformer, and the performance is not that much better. Is the only difference the random attention?
> Many elevators have placebo ones

As I understand, basically no elevators have placebo close door buttons, but some have ones that only function when the elevator has been placed in manual operation mode, which requires a special key and is usually only done for service, emergency operations, and other special circumstances, and in which mode doors do not close automatically.

Ask HN: Ambitious robotics entrepreneur with failing Kickstarter. Seeking advice
Howdy HN,

My name is Tyler, I'm a robotics entrepreneur and I just started a Kickstarter that is going to fail (see www.PinkRobotics.ca). I won't blame it, anyone else or even myself for it failing. Could I do a lot better? Obviously. Will it make the difference? Probably not. Nevertheless, I still think the world needs my campaign to succeed; but there is also little I can do to make that happen.

So, I seek the often sound and level headed advice of HK et al.:

My story:
I have a BSc in CS, where I focused on AI stuff, and an MSc where I published about applying AI stuff to HPC stuff. I went to a space university program and learned about space stuff. Then, I did seven years of a PhD where I tried to be ambitious but it didn't work out, so I quietly left without succeeding anymore. Then I did a year long solo motorcycle trip around Mexico, starting and ending in Canada. After, I started a robotics company to address climate change with technological solutions. I applied to YC and UBC startup programs to use large drones and other robots to help fight the locally pressing issue of wildfires. Neither organization was interested, for several understandable reasons including: I am alone, no likelihood of a short term high yield return and the societal benefit of my project wasn't considered. So, I "gave up" and applied to a dozen jobs in my area. Only to not receive any replies at all, from anyone, not even rejections. Likely a blessing though, as I have no faith in my ability to pass a technical interview at this point in my "career". So I worked for a friend doing tradeswork to the pay the bills, until covid hit and I went on gov't support. I again focused on my robotics stuff, which has led me to my Kickstarter which will likely fail in just under 6 weeks.

I see three options for myself going forward: keep up the robotics hussle until death or success, study and get a job in my area for money and respect, or get a job where I can be happy.

Advice?
Well, this, but the last step doesnt happen.

Go vs. Rust: Writing a CLI Tool
> some people don't need the headphone jack, but still want a reasonably priced phone. A simple fix is to just sell a plug that matches the phone.

Well, no, the simple fix is to ignore the headphone jack. If your needs are "reasonably priced phone", there's no reason to plug the jack. You'd have to have some other need, like "and it can't have a headphone jack".
There is considerably less politics on TikTok than other platforms.

I'd say that the short video format is unsuitable for politics but twitter exists so quality of argumentation is obviously irrelevant.
Yeah, I'm really confused by the two subthreads saying Rust doesn't have hidden allocations. The standard library is full of them, and even with `no_std` there is the possibility of a "global" allocator (GlobalAlloc) to be able to do hidden allocations without an explicit allocator. Box, Vec, etc rely on that even in `no_std` code.

The only way to have explicit allocations in Rust is to not use libstd (but this isn't special in the context of writing OSes anyway) and disallow using the GlobalAlloc trait, as well as any third-party libraries that rely on it. Unfortunately both the explicit allocator LocalAlloc and the global allocator GlobalAlloc, as well as all the types that rely on GlobalAlloc, are defined in the same library liballoc, so keeping one and removing the others requires patching liballoc.

As far as other non-C languages go, Zig has an explicit allocator that neeeds to be threaded through any function that wants to allocate, which would likely satisfy Linus's requirement.
UIs in game engines are pretty different from the look-and-feel you get using native components or QT. Even with Electron apps, the text fields and buttons that you start with are at least native to the platform.
Sure, and you'll notice that I didn't say there's no problem at the NYT, or that the organisation as a whole should be exempt from the actions of some set of it's staff.

I'm just saying that the analogy to an (offensive) action by a specific person, toward a specific person, is a poor analogy for the actions of some subset of a large organisation, which almost certainly isn't directed at a specific person.

And I doubt many people would equate the actions of the NYT with literally being spat on.
Reading again my comment, I missed a few words, but perhaps you understand it anyway. My idea was:

"Perhaps you should put a small part of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7kRjHMzK5A&t=6m53s at the beginning of the video as a preview of the final result. "

Something like the movies that show a small part of an important scene at the beginning as a teaser.
