Hello, HN.

Location: Mexico City
Remote: Preferred
Willing to relocate: Yes[]
Technologies: {Java|Type}script (vue, svelte, react, bit of node/deno), scss. Also very limited shell, sysadmin, podman/docker stuff, enough to get myself in trouble.
Resume: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ulzefZ3HZ_e6gTwcvQfw87fz...
Email: antonio+hn@pulsar.mx

Kind of opinionated but always willing to learn and improve my skills and my workflows. Would rather not use React or Angular, wouldn't recommend unless absolutely necessary. Short, varied projects preferred (2-6 month long, agency style, I guess) but I don't really mind longer projects as long as I get the opportunity to work on new things.

I'm used to getting somewhat involved in the full lifecycle of a project, from specs to design to the actual development, although that might be just me having worked at small agencies. I personally value a high degree of autonomy when making technical decisions, down to the choice of framework to use, especially when I'm the one who's going to shoulder most of the technical responsibility. I tend to push bach really hard against poorly (or un-) justified decisions, especially non-technical ones.

One particular strength I have is my attention to detail, especially when reviewing requirements. Might be a case of a big fish in a small pond though.

[] I'm willing to relocate, but since I never finished any formal education, visas like H-1B are not available to me for the time being.
There were a whole lot of very smart physicists with no skin in the game who claimed this was theoretically impossible from the beginning.

At this point, lots of layman-reading-time, physicist thinking time and engineering effort was wasted over TWO DECADES to prove this technology is not working.

You can see it as "science working as intended" but also as "embarrassing waste of effort".
I am using LanguageTool. Not the website, but a command-line tool. You can configure it with all sorts of rules to check all sorts of spelling, grammar, style, and language issues. However, as far as I have noticed, LanguageTool is not a very advanced language-help tool. Still, it did improve my writing a lot. If nothing else, my writing has gotten more consistent.
Damn, let me finish my master thesis! :)
> I'd rank it as the best among free offerings.

Had the opposite experience. They killed my free tier stuff after about two months.

Also their VM images come with extra bloatware
Because it's the state right next to Canada with a major tech hub.

We can compare NY to Quebec where at $125k/$100k respectively Quebec has a slight tax advantage (33.65%NY vs 32.70%QC) that goes back in favor of NY with +$20k (34.48%NY vs 35.43%QC).

Ontario fares better though. Maybe that's the cause of the US rust belt.

Nevermind that if you're 90th percentile of California or NY, you'd be making near $300k. So your tax rate might be 10% higher, but your take home is easily triple of what you'd have if you stayed in Canada.
I work for a large healthcare org and from personal experience these things can get large. 6m patients is prob 20m encounters, each encounter may have 10 different kinds of meta data (each one it’s own table) and each kind has 10-100 rows. So really you are doing joins between 10 tables each with ~1-10 billion rows. It actually does slow down even running on expensive hardware.
There's no reason Canada shouldn't have more fabs. It has Teledyne DALSA, making mostly imagers and some MEMS parts. Canada has a bigger population than Taiwan, after all.
Maybe, there is an epistemological common ground: As an anarchist, he may have thought of science as letters sent to humanity, letters telling of insight and discovery. It was important that these writings were respected as letters, sent with an intent and to a specific addressee. (Compare the dispute about the IHES and its sponsoring by the French army.) Later, as these insights become more and more private, these became letters to be never sent, eventually extending to include his former work. (Figuratively speaking, had they been sent in error? Was there an error in the addressee? Anyway, they were not to be republished.) In the light of this, collecting these writings, while ignoring any of the circumstances under which they had been written and how they were intended, is quite the same kind of scandal, as it had been at the IHES. I guess, this is exactly the kind of importance, you can still cultivate and rely on, even, when your very life is at extreme odds.

Apollo can be thought of as garbage disposal for tech companies.

They provide enough capital for a corporation to keep running while systematically stripping it down until only the most profitable core remains, then re-IPO'ing that husk of the company. Along the way, they make the most use of financialization to extract as much benefits as they can.

They serve a purpose in the ecosystem I guess. Its better than the company devolving into irrelevance or collapsing at once. Graceful termination means that everyone can wait for a ferry to take them away rather than jump ship.
maybe you can enhance or maybe vectorize that one.

Really? Scroll jacking is good effort?

Re-inventing a bunch of tags, just because, is a good effort?

It had a good claimed goal: make heavy sites load faster, particularly on low bandwidth/high latency connections.

The approach taken was, like everything Google does, heavy handed, tone deaf, and instantly defended by fanboys waiting for another chance to suck on the google teat.

The way I see this is that it might be one of those tests that, if they come back positive, indicate that further analysis should be made. A general practitioner might ask for this test and then recommend to the person to see a specialist.

I don't get why anyone would need to sort them. Just store a timestamp if you want to sort records by order of creation.

If this was about efficient indexing or something I would get it. But the only justification is "you can run it through sort".
If you want to echo the last paragraph of the article, the system also doesn’t know when to stop.

Which leads to a simple improvement: teach the model when to stop, what sections to remove. There’s already great ML-based summary engines, and systems able to answer questions from descriptions.
Canada needs to focus on retaining the tech capacity that it has.

This particular situation has nothing to do with tax havens.
Amazon is employing tax avoidance practices such as building up losses in Luxembourg to prevent paying corporate tax. You can do this in any country.

I am not in favor of Biden’s proposal as it would only impact small companies or start-ups who can’t afford to employ teams of accountants only to report and pay profits in each country where they have sales. Look at the mess that the EU VAT reporting system is. It’s totally unattractive for small, honest businesses. Biden is basically proposing the same thing, only for corporate tax.

I also find people make dichotomies out of every topic, and lump everyone into the extreme ends of each view. This turns every discussion into a Team A vs Team B win or lose scenario, which just isn't how most things work.

Two ideas can be perfectly valid at the same time, even if they conflict on some points, and the ideas likely exist on a spectrum of possible views with neither Team A or Team B truly being at the logical conclusion of their ideologies.

Likewise, it's perfectly valid to know something is good for the environment on paper, yet still "feel" like it's the wrong thing. Humans are not calculators, and whether or not you'll get the right outcome from going by your feelings, you're fully entitled to them all the same.
So your wife has to work because your house was so expensive? I wonder about the place where you live. When your boss bought his home, was it cheap everywhere, or did he pick an affordable location that now has become expensive?

I’m a native English speaker and you all write well enough in English that I didn’t notice that you are not native speakers from your writing. I went back and looked more carefully and noticed a few little mistakes, but nothing I wouldn’t write off as the result of someone writing quickly.
That is absolutely not a bad habit, it’s a good one. Research has shown that writing things down can help memory immensely.

I don’t have time now to check this, but most research I know shows mutations happen significantly more often in the immune compromised even when vaccinated on one hand, and that while increased transmissibility is associated with a strain or too, that’s not remotely true in general or about virulence.

Regardless, if I take your numbers, assuming 33% had the virus, we’re talking about very similar toys incidence at saturation (the 1:20,000 - 1:10,000 range, the error bars are huge), so it is far from obvious that the existing vaccines are safer than the disease.

It is true for all approved vaccines I’m familiar with; but you can’t claim that for any of the Sarscov2 vaccines based on available data.

What I’m really surprised is that somehow the default mindset changed from “we have to establish safety to use” to “we have to establish non-safety to not use”. Am really puzzled by that.

It's inevitable, and this applies to other kinds of optimizations as well. This place is too mature, disruption might be easier elsewhere.
I recommend you to read the following books

These books will help you get to the root of your addiction and give you a way to come out of it.
> Every population that grows exponentially will double over a period of time.

And ~10 billion is where humans will stop growing (at least, will stop growing exponentially/explosively). IIRC this is mentioned in this talk by Hans Rosling: https://www.ted.com/talks/hans_rosling_the_best_stats_you_ve...
There's good stuff in there though. The Action component can be a good idea. It's just an adapter, so nothing new under the sun, but it's nice to see what it looks like in React.

Some advice will definitely lead to overengineering though. Sometimes using refactor tools when needed is better than a complex abstraction.
Not just cost reduction or efficiency, the faster encodes you can get through dedicated hardware mean they can potentially reduce the delay between a video being uploaded and a video being available to the public (right now even if you don't spend time waiting in the processing queue, it takes a bit for your videos to get encoded)

You can handle larger volumes of incoming video by spinning up more encoder machines, but the only solution for lowering latency is faster encodes, and with the way the CPU and GPU markets are these days a dedicated encoder chip is probably your best bet.
Sure, though the shipping would be a bit high with 8,89 € uninsured or 13,99 € insured/traceable.
Ok, thanks. Good luck with the search. Let me know if if changes!
Yes, though shipping within EU would be a bit high 8,89 € uninsured or 13,99 € insured/traceable.
I have been working with data for more than 5 years now and my 2 cents is that Pandas shines with exploratory analysis. Because you have the data in memory it's easy to empirically arrive at the exact data transformation you need and figure out whether your analysis is worth pursuing further. At this stage of the development your ability to iterate and experiment quickly is most valuable. I see no value in worrying about the deployment of the work you are doing if you haven't got any results just yet.

Now when the analysis is done and there's a conclusion about putting some of it in production, I am yet to see a single company that relies on pandas to do data transforms "online", i.e. on the live production data stream. Typically in my experience I would end up rewriting my data transforms in either a compiled language or SQL - i.e. something much more performant and maintainable.

As a result as you progress in your career you become very proficient in both pandas and SQL - and you also start glancing at the source code of some of the transforms performed by pandas when you need to port them to the language of choice of the company you're working for.
Yes but Canada cannot afford that much of debt because our dollar is not a global reserve currency with a massive standing army.
Just a quick note. In case you wanna pass on feature requests, bug reports etc, you can follow user (ipster.io) from within the app and I will follow you back. You can then send me direct notifications.

Illinois is 100% agriculture. All the tech from Schaumburg and Naperville (W. Chicago) has been hollowed out. It's still relatively rich as a state ... You are forgetting that until recently in Brazil the USA had double the agricultural productivity of any place else on Earth...
A couple of interesting bits:

- without dedicated processors, VP9's encoding is roughly 4.5x as slow as H.264, while with the VPUs, the two formats perform the same; this is a big win for the open format(s)

- sad extract: "Google has aggressively fought to keep the site's cost down, often reinventing Internet infrastructure and copyright in order to make it happen" (emphasis mine)

This will keep costs down but I am not sure cost of transcoding is the major barrier to entry? I think the network effect (everyone is on YouTube) had already made disruption pretty difficult!
Corporation tax is always going to be a race to the bottom. It would be better to accept that and abolish it. Replace it by treating dividends and capital gains as normal income for tax purposes. This would be much harder to avoid.
Yes, the gizmodo.com article has this information.

However, the concerns about the critical publication are due to the very broad conclusions it makes. But the mere facts of:

- lasting genetic contamination of the mosquito population
- failure to erradicate the Aedes aegypti in Brazil

are they true?

> According to Oxitec, the “OX513A self-limiting gene does not persist in the environment,” and that the “limited 3-5% survival of the OX513A strain means that, within a few generations, these introduced genes are completely eliminated from the environment.”

That is about the self-limiting gene. How about the other genes?
Unfortunately my only exposure to this is a University course I took called Computer Intensive Methods in Mathematical Statistics[1].

It was a really good course, but at the time I was not in a mental space where I could get the most out of it, so I'm kind of hoping someone else can point to a solid textbook or something.

> Look at the mess that the EU VAT reporting system is.

Look at the mess that dividend and capital gains taxes are for an individual investor in EU. Look at the mess that social and retirement systems are for an individual employee in EU. Who cares? One simply has to deal with them or their life is turned into misery.

To be honest I suspect it isn't actually a differentiator. It's good for Google that they can produce this chip and trim their hardware costs by some percentage, but it's not going to give them a competitive advantage in the market of video sharing. Especially in a business like youtube with network effects, getting the audience is the difficult bit, the technical solutions are interesting but you're not going to beat google by having 5% cheaper encoding costs.

Wow 33x throughput improvement for vp9 for the same hardware cost. That seems excessive but their benchmark is using ffmpeg. Is ffmpeg known to have the theoretically highest throughput possible state of the art vp9 encoder algorithms? Or is there any way of knowing if their hardware IP block is structured equivalently to the ffmpeg software algorithm? I know that custom hardware will always beat general hardware but 33x is a very large improvement. Contemporary core counts coupled with very wide simd makes CPUs functionally similar to ASIC/fpga in many cases.

Perhaps. But the big issues for YouTube right now isnt efficiency per se, but copyright, monetization, ai-tagging, social clout. If a YouTube competitor can get the content creators and offer them viewers, competition could perhaps work. This fight is probably not fought at the margins of hardware optimization.
