Modern smartphone HDR is so insane. I tried replicating it with a tripod and HDR software but I had to apply so much compensation and the smartphones are just point and click. Great stuff.

I am very impressed with the photo AI work people have been doing. Very concrete feature for people to use.
I think if you are going for native widgets with a more lightweight (and more liberally licensed) bent, then wx is a solid option too, though it requires a bit more manual UX work, even though it uses native widgets for real (even in some places Qt doesn't).

But other than Qt or wx, I really can't get behind these new GUI platforms which keep cropping up. They all have too many issues and don't end up presenting a native experience (or often even a good one).

Anagenex | ONSITE or REMOTE | San Francisco | Lead ML Engineer, Computational Chemist

We are a seed stage biotechnology company building a novel platform for drug discovery focusing on difficult targets. Machine learning has struggled in early stage drug discovery efforts because most of these efforts do not have enough data for the models to parse. Our technology solves the data problem with massively parallel biochemistry in the form of DNA Encoded Libraries (DELs), allowing us to analyze 100-1000x more compounds compared to traditional approaches. By feeding our algorithms with this data we can identify better compounds faster than competing solutions. We recently closed a substantial seed investment (2+ years runway) and are assembling a highly interdisciplinary team of both bench and computational scientists. Come help us build the future of drug discovery!

Lead ML Engineer: We are looking for our first computational hire who in time will help build and manage this team. This person will be driving technology choices, designing and building data architectures and building models. These systems will take in raw experimental data as well as other information from lab instruments and integrate that data into models predicting several biochemically relevant properties. Familiarity with current ML and data pipeline tools is a must. We favor python, but aren’t dogmatic.

Computational Chemist: We are looking for a computational chemist to create a cutting edge drug discovery toolchain. We strongly favor open platforms such as RDKit but are open to alternatives that maximize performance. This person should be familiar with traditional SAR, structure based drug discovery, ADME prediction and have some exposure to more recent ML applications to drug discovery.

These roles are both asking a lot, and correspondingly we offer strong equity and competitive compensation. The roles are also a unique opportunity to build systems correctly from the ground up to solve a really important problem!

Odds and ends:

Interview process is generally a few phone/video conversations and some small practicum work, but is adapted to the individual at this stage of the company.

Onsite is expected to eventually be in SF, but we are launching a Boston location for our lab operations. Of course, given the pandemic is hybrid/remote for the time being, and might continue to be longer term.

We offer healthcare coverage and typical technology startup benefits.

There was also this recent patch https://lwn.net/Articles/816211/ to deal with kthread affinities. Even with isolcpus I find I still need to run pgrep -P 2 | xargs -i taskset -p -c 0 {} and deal with the workqueues.

Have you tried "A full task-isolation mode for the kernel": https://lwn.net/Articles/816298/ ?

Running only a single thread per core, I see no difference between SCHED_FIFO vs SCHED_OTHER. Except SCHED_FIFO can cause lockups if running 100% since cores are not completely isolated (ie vmstat timer and some other stuff).

There’s a difference between admitting other people know more than you and giving up entirely on the use of your own rational faculties. Blindly trusting that masks work, in the face of (at best) low predictive power and (at worst) outright contradictory evidence, is an example of the latter.
Oh, I know this one. Racism! Tint rules give plausible deniability for pulling someone over for driving while black. It's not about safety at all.
Can't you just as easily do the same in C with functions and a struct? If so, I have to imagine Linus is referring to something different (I thought it was generally about things like copy constructors where what's going on is more hidden and possibly complicated than an assignment would naively indicate).

Then again, I don't commonly use any of the languages in question, so maybe I'm missing the point entirely.

The US is no victim here, it has maintained its hegemony for 70 years. Maybe it is time for something else.

Could you provide a citation for this? I can vaguely see how that might work, being ~~Q->Q for the special case where Q can be decomposed into Q = ~P, but it's obviously rather difficult to search for.
> We could keep the economy decently open AND keep COVID cases down dramatically with a simple law to mandate masks 100% of the time

We could already keep the economy open with little ill effect. At this point, if you’re still concerned about the health effects of covid, you should either support wearing masks 100% of the time anyway (e.g. for influenza prevention) or you’re a statistically illiterate hysteric.
This really depends on the implementation, which is a number of factors ranging from the specific ARM CPU, the fidelity of the emulation environment, and possible hardware acceleration. Apple has the latter and compares well in the first two, so I think we're going to get quite good results out of Rosetta.
I think there's potential for automated forestry to capture carbon, but the KS video doesn't really help me imagine how it would work. What would the robots actually do in the forest to capture a lot more carbon? How many different kinds of robots would it take? Can people do some of those jobs in the meantime while the robots are under development? Are there forests, even small ones, being managed this way today?

Rather than making one system to do all the forestry jobs, it's probably better to design one robot for one particular task that can save money for forestry companies. Once you have a business selling one kind of robot, expand outwards from there.

A Brief History of Non-Aqueous Metal-Air Batteries
Security doesn’t have to be a blocker
In case there's some motive for picking NY or CA, what about all of the empty space in Houston? Why would the rents go up, along with vacancy?

I haven't gone counting, but I've been unnerved by how many storefronts, warehouses, lots, and human houses remained empty after what the narrative would like us to believe is a protracted economic expansion.

(Serious question. It's obvious enough that the owners perceive them to be of more value empty than full.)
Qt Quick, btw, seems to have learned a lot of lessons from game engines by their tech (all OpenGL) and terminology ("scene graph").

I believe he's referring to exactly what he refers to most of the time. Just talk. He has the power to do nothing directly in the case of the sale. So people crying "extortion" are falling in to the hyperbole trap that was set. What it might do is prompt a conversation on taxes, but likely nothing at all will change.

I've spent the last few years developing a declarative GUI programming language called "IVD" (https://github.com/IrisChase/IVD) on my own. Initially developed for an earlier project, IVD kind of overshadowed it.

A project that spun out of IVD's development called "Reprodyne", is a system for recording manual testing sessions for automatic regression testing (https://github.com/IrisChase/Reprodyne). The system is basically alpha, but it has already made the development of IVD much much smoother/faster.

> This is not true. It is only illegal to crack DRM of copyright-protected works. Once a work falls out of copyright, it's fully legal to crack any DRM.

There's a huge grey area there for DRM schemes that are used on expired works, but also on currently copyrighted works. You would need to be _very_ sure that the DRM scheme is only used on works where the copyright has expired. It's an important distinction; otherwise you could simply create a version of "Happy Birthday" with the latest and greatest DRM, then proceed to crack it and come out with a legal way to crack that DRM on any work.

> It's truly fucked up that privileged people feel like they can decide how other people should earn their living just so that they can avoid spending a few bucks.

That's not the only reason, although for some it is the primary reason. DRM can also make legally acquired software worthless (i.e. if they require key servers, but they shut down the key servers). DRM can also tie you to a particular device, like Amazon's ebooks. Doesn't it seem kind of fucked up that I can buy a thing, but I can only use it at the pleasure of the seller? Nope, you can't put that Wonderbread in this toaster. This toaster only takes GE branded GeneralToast bread; violations will be prosecuted under the DMCA.

There are more general arguments against the theory of copyright in general, but you've likely seen them and I don't have anything grand to add to them.
The compiler is using push and pop here just for their side effect of adjusting the stack pointer, to keep the stack pointer 16-byte aligned.
Or repurpose the existing second trim cutout switch... (AFAIK there are two, that used to serve different purposes, and are now both left in to keep the same type rating).
But it’s done in a way that gives you value as a customer.

Not in my experience. I tried really hard for a while to "buy in" to the Google ecosystem a few years ago. But the data accuracy was too low, the Google Location Services WiFi triangulation actually made navigation significantly less accurate, the Nest thermostat kept learning stupid patterns where it would turn my A/C down to 68 for like 10 minutes, then up to 82, just because of a couple of days with odd weather, they use dark patterns to trick you into enabling data collection features, Play Music makes it really hard to, you know, play my music, and they still keep discontinuing, breaking, or hiding features in apps like Maps. Last time I was going somewhere it took me ten minutes to figure out where they'd moved Offline Maps.
This assumes the code works exactly as described in the video. For old games, this has historically been false; it’s very, very hard to reimplement most game mechanics faithfully, often due to small corner cases that matter. Many gameplay mechanics are an emergent effect of bugs.

The small discrepancy of 1.424 vs your 1.41 is worth digging into. It might have a surprising reason. Or you might be right. Games are simulations, and simulations have emergent behaviors when you throw in a time dimension.
The New York Times is not perfect, but they do a very good job as well, despite what some commenters in this thread may think. And the paper is not run by a political appointee, as are most of the public service media organizations in Europe (Radio France comes to mind).

I have to wonder: how does your public service media cover events that reflect poorly on the Czech Republic's elite and its government? How did it cover the decision to split from your poorer sister state of Slovakia? How does it cover the vulnerability of the Czech elite to blackmail by the Russian intelligence services? How does it cover the historical issues related to the expulsion of Sudetenland Germans from their homes?

Separately, for what it's worth, the US has national public radio, which is a public service radio largely funded by local listener/donors. It is much better than most media here.
in theory rollback works -- the tool will try to generate a migration between any two git refs

in practice the rollback use case isn't tested super well and, for data integrity reasons, it doesn't drop tables -- you'll run into trouble if you try to rollback across an added table
Reuse of medical masks is fine if people are careful:

1. Store reused masks in a designated spot to avoid cross contamination.

2. Wash hands after putting on and taking off used masks.

3. Dispose of masks which get wet or N95 masks which get folded.

This care can be achieved by PSAs in countries with functional governments.
Continuing to pay people in a way completely disconnected from the (lack of) work they’re performing is also a very reliable way to “destroy the economy”.

If you don’t want to destroy the economy, the trick is to not throw a giant wrench into it by prohibiting people from working.
The overhead and complexity of a dozen different IDEs, JS frameworks, 4 browsers, 2 mobile phone platforms, etc etc is less complex?

In a day to day engineering perspective it’s all a mess of abstraction and indirection anyway?

If we’re going to optimize ONE stack, I’d prefer the one with all the optimized rendering and input mapping, rather than hacking that all into a bloated document parser like we’re hacking into a browser?

IMO that is textbook functional fixedness.
You don't. The poster in question said he doesn't use it and wishes it wasn't there. Epoxy is an easy and permanent solution to that problem.
Hey there. I love the designs!

It interesting that you make a complete blog, including the idea. But surely you need to find people who want to buy specifically start a "Stay at home dad blog" and who also want to spend $900 on setting it up. Is it easy to find such people? And not only that - find them at the right time. Too early and they are not yet committed to their idea, too late and they've set up a wordpress out of the box theme and are happy with it.

I would have thought a $900-$9000 range (or more?) for a "we'll set the blog up for you, you tell us your brief" would work a lot better, as you will find people who are not technical but have an idea for a blog they want to set up and want it to be super professional looking.
Rails does some basic tracking in the schema_migrations table, which it uses to enable rollbacks via its CLI.
The US has its “exorbitant privilege” - a pretty thick buffer of seignorage profits it can extract without running into hyperinflation.

This buffer is substantial, but finite.
Does anyone have an example of a large codebase that actually uses modern C++ to its fullest?

One of the larges codebases I know about, Chromium, seems to use only a minimum of C++ features. It's mostly limited to 1980s "C with objects" paradigm, plus smart pointers.
