Mapistry | Berkeley, CA | Full-stack | Remote (North and South America)

Do you want to make a difference for the companies behind all the products you take for granted and reduce pollution at the same time? Then Mapistry is the place for you. The EPA can write regulations on top of regulations, but if it is too difficult or too expensive to follow these rules, companies will drop the ball. At Mapistry, you’ll help protect the environment by making it easier and more affordable for companies to follow the rules.

Mapistry is a post revenue, venture-backed startup. Our customers range from SMBs to Fortune 100 companies. Some manufacture products like wine, cardboard, gypsum, garage doors, medicine, precast cement, and pickles. Others provide services like trucking, busing, recycling or tank washing. They all have one thing in common: they are overwhelmed by environmental regulations. That’s where Mapistry comes in to help our customers avoid lawsuits and fines, and protect the environment too.

"The question then becomes a matter of how we fix this without diminishing access to a college education."

This is the crux of it that everyone needs to get over. Universality, High Quality, Low Cost. Pick two. By letting the government meddle you have guaranteed no one can afford college and will be long in debt to a loan they cannot discharge in bankruptcy. I'd rather have cheap college then universal access for every single person who wants a English Literature or Anthropology degree with low ROI. Colleges are now awash in money and they pump it into newer and fancier campuses to attract more of that government backed debt from all the masses, driving up cost significantly.

Or how about breaking the degree monopoly with something like equivalent certification programs and let private companies fill the gap. Similar to what Google is doing with its certificate program they are rolling out. 4 years for a piece of paper that includes 2 years of general education classes for "well roundness" is starting to look more and more ridiculous considering the cost of that "well roundness" is years of non-dis chargeable debt weighing you down during your best decades.
How about it being a language that is not new, runs on your own machine same way it does on the server, and is debuggable?

This is such a simpleton take.

The whole reason AMD are able to crank out 128 core CPUs is the CCX architecture - the one people laughed at. No TSMC there. Not to mention other innovations like Infinity Fabric.

In ampere for instance, there are so many innovations, like PAM signalling, 2x shader instructions per clock, DLSS, RTX Voice.

TSMC beat Intel, sure, but that is not the main reason for why Nvidia and even AMD are leading the industry. In fact, ampere is on Samsung 8n.
Sure, but who buys a 1080 Ti or 2080 TI today for 400$ when a RTX 3070 costs 499$ ?

Like, really, if you know somebody, let me know. I have a 1080 that I want to sell.
Saying the province is broke misses the point. Alberta has the lowest provincial tax rate in North America, has the lowest personal tax rate in Canada, and has no provincial sales tax. All of these because of a reliance on Oil and Gas royalties.

Calgary has a similar dynamic with over reliance on commercial real estate for major oil and gas companies.

Alberta is an outlier in how it finances public services.
These are structural problems which won't be solved by public sector taking 5, 10, or even 20% reduction.
That's overly aggressive. If a 3070 is really the same performance as a 2080 TI then the 2080 TI will likely go used for $400.

People don't see graphics cards like they're brake pads. They don't wear down the same way. $150 (no tax) is still $150 less for what is essentially the same thing.
> Still discouraging to see the lack of education HNers have on unions. Maybe ignorance is a better word.

In theory unions are great. In practice America's implementation of unions end up as a crappy caricature of the theoretical one and are nothing like their European counterparts.

In the commenters defense, I think they mean that the outcome shouldn't be surprising once we really dig into the underlying causes.

I was surprised to learn that the federal government were the ones now directly making the loans, and I'm sure many others are too.

I had to do quite a bit of research to come to the conclusion that this was causing tuition increases. It's rarely ever talked about for some reason.

Imagination. Same as the people who grew up with the original Atari and Sinclair Spectrum and Commodore 64.
Case insensitive is the default.
I started to use python about 20 years ago, which was very pleasant (there was a nearly seamless transition from the old Numeric to Numpy at the time). I was using it less regularly for a number of years and came back to it to find what appears like an absolute mess.

Is there any good overview which packaging solution has which properties, and will work in specific situations?
Charles Stross had an interesting short story about hobbiest particle accelerators called "Dechlorinating the Moderator": http://www.antipope.org/charlie/fiction/moderator.html

I was hoping this article would cover building a particle accelerator in a pool, but it only covers the detection part of the system.
On the other hand, Washington State has the opposite problem - nearly all revenue comes from property tax. So in places like Seattle, it can create struggles when driving affordability because anything that lowers property value can hurt the tax base.
Interesting. I shot the night sky recently with my Sony a6300 and a cheap Sigma 19mm wide-angle lens. After reading this article, I reviewed some of those photos.

I don't see any examples of the star "punching" effect, but this might be the result of bad focusing, etc. as the article mentions.

I'd take these kind of complaints a lot more seriously if they were coming from people with substantial experience in unionized workplaces.

The adversarial situation you want to avoid already exists: Your boss wants to pay you as little as possible; you want to get paid as much as possible. All you're doing by disdaining collective bargaining is sacrificing leverage.

Oh yeah, totally. I'm just objecting to using the term "meltdown" to describe the typical power-down procedure because of the negative connotations of the term.

I'm good with "criticality incident", "core damage incident", or any other descriptive term that makes it clear that it's a deviation from normal behavior. Using a negative term for a non-critical incident is just stacking the deck against the technology.

On the slide in the presentation it did say something like Samsung Nvidia Custom 8NM process, so perhaps Nvidia made such significant contributions to the process that it's not really Samsungs process anymore?
It was never about giving "free concessions." It was about opening up China to foreign investment, so that foreign companies could make returns. It's difficult to overstate just how massively foreign companies profited from trade liberalization with China.

Foreign companies were able to earn large returns in China because China's tariffs went from ~40% to ~3%, restrictions on foreign investment were reduced or eliminated in most sectors, big state-owned enterprises were split up and forced to operate like regular companies that have to earn a profit, IP courts were created, along with many other changes large and small.

The sudden cries that China took advantage of the West are just completely out of touch with reality.

Also at the time that the leader of the NUM, the striking union, was a self-avowed Stalinist.[1]

It's hard to overstate the extreme militancy of trade union leadership in the UK during the late 1970s. While Thatcher gets the blame for the disintegration of the labor movement, just as big an issue was that the union leadership no longer represented the opinions of its rank-and-file members.

The 1984 miners strike largely failed, because most of the local unions decided not to join. Scargill never put the strike to a membership wide ballot, because he knew it probably wouldn't have passed. Union leadership became more focused on pushing communist ideology than it was on representing its members.

Agreed, I feel like there should be a way to mark changes as temporary instead of commiting to file every time.

I found a workaround that seems to work though, once you're happy with your defaults you can do:

chmod a-w ~/.config/htop/htoprc

This way you make the file read-only and prevent htop from changing it.

Also I had to add "vim_mode=1" directly in the rc file because I couldn't find the option in the menus.

Unfortunately it seems that git only stores the eXecutable bit of the files in the index, so you can't really commit a file as read-only, so you have to remember to do it one every one of your machines (or script it in a git hook I suppose).

We got a few rare events all happening this year.

I mean... Something like the Beirut explosion only happens ever 3 or 4 years. Our current recession is a two or three times in a lifetime. Mass protests in large countries are some 1 in a decade event...

And, of course, the US, Russia and China trio threatening to end the world over the Mid-East and China sea happens a few times an year. It's just that they suddenly stopping because they have something more important to care about is a one in a century thing.
This sounds like a cool project.

They dropped a concrete block on his car. It wasn't attempted murder it was attempted property damage.

So, yes, they killed him and were rightly imprisoned for manslaughter.

> "Interned in Dr. Blah's group at the MIT media lab" or "Secretary of the Princeton chapter of the Phi Beta Kappa."

Both of these are about what you have done, and not what you can do. I'm proposing limiting interviews, at least entry-level ones, to relevant skills, abilities, and knowledge. "Read this judicial decision and tell me whether you think it was correctly decided and why." etc.

> destroy all specialized scientific research, education degrees, agricultural science, all high-level maths, biology, ecology, zoology, environmental research

The government should fund students in these directly, as we do with grants in graduate level education.
> Why should I care about recompiling? That's an implementation detail.

Sometimes you don't have access to 3rd party src code you call into, hence why you can't always modify and recompile it.
Your repeated promotion of this book in HN comments has crossed into spamming, and we're getting complaints about it, so please stop.
Love the way you've got to reach back literally 36 years to find one example of union violence. The reputation that British unions actually have is for getting shat on by bullying employers.
On this note, how many human drivers actually know what to do if their brakes fail?

Do they know to try to switch the car into lower gear and engine brake, move towards the right lane, coast and then use the parking brake to try to stop the vehicle?

How many human drivers might try to shove the vehicle into park, neutral, or downright panic in that situation?

I think very few humans actually understand these concepts. Autonomous vehicles don't panic, and they can be programmed with rules to maximize the probability of survival.

Autonomous vehicles can also be equipped with backup brakes, separate front/rear brakes with independent controls (humans can't handle that complexity but algorithms can), or other modifications and programmed to simply NOT start driving if there are any failures in the redundant system.

Humans often continue to drive cars that show signs of trouble, because it's the only car they have. With an autonomous car, it could, at the first sign of trouble, automatically summon help, and also summon a replacement rental vehicle to show up at your location so you can ditch the problem vehicle for the towers to deal with and continue about your life. How cool would that be?
This is a misleading comparison. You are comparing a massive model with huge models. What you should be comparing are big models vs medium models that a single consumer GPU will fit. And - you don't need to take my word for it, there's tons of papers - the bigger models definitely perform better.
For me, it's fidelity of human facial animation that has a long way to come. There are teams doing a great job of it [1], but the labor/skill required to bring one high hyperreal facial rig to a game or movie seems insane. I think companies pursuing AR/VR applications will lead here.

ML creative tools stand to automate a lot of this imo.

My primary experience has been with ElectrifyAmerica (Volkswagen), and they have both an rfid reader for their cards, you can activate it with their app (both of which costs less if you pay the $4/mo. membership), and there's a standard contactless/emv/stripe card reader.

The only struggle I've had is when they charge slower than they're supposed to since they bill you per minute.

It should not have been an issue in the last few years. I do not know if this was a problem early-on, but Google themselves use it for their CDN-boxes they offer ISPs to offload what's likely mostly YT videos and popular android APKs.
I think the usual back-and-forth does converge on better policy, but feedback systems from an engineering perspective are notorious for having stable and unstable regimes. If you crank the gain or introduce too much delay, your stabilizing control system turns into an oscillator, slamming against the system's extremes rather than settling down at a compromise.

It's not an encouraging analogy.
I wonder why not provide a switch to turn off the star eater? Bury it under some menus so people don’t use it unless they go looking.
We are all looking for guarantees. Degrees were insurance, but they begin to resemble protection money.

And while it's definitely true that lifetime income expectations are higher for salaried people, I wonder if they're high enough to offset the negative compound interest most people are saddled with during their 20's.

I think we may be playing fast and loose with our comparisons elsewhere too. There's sort of an image that going to college for 4 or 6 years is a huge investment of energy in your future, and the alternative is to just take 1 year of trade school and then skip to the post-graduation part of on-the-job learning. Like we paused the clock for the college people to catch up?

If someone put half the time and energy into trade school + life skills + finances that we expect of college students, I think they'd turn out pretty okay. Stressing about money is expensive. Starting your nest egg eight years late is also expensive. If you make your early lead count for something, I don't expect too many regrets later on.
