Hi,

I've been following your studio for a little while. I love what you're doing. I also love physical kinetic things, and the opportunity to work for you is really exciting. Last Summer I created an interactive light installation in my home [link redacted] which used openFrameworks, NodeJS, ReactJS, Python(Selenium), Redis, MongoDB, Arduino and custom LED tubes. Right now I'm working on a lighting controller that is motion activated artistically light up stairs. I also used OpenCV and Tensorflow to place 2nd in a local hackathon last Fall ([link redacted])

I would love to join your team. How hard is the requirement to have 8+ years of experience for the Senior Software Engineer position?
> You can do the same way with commuting, enter the bus/subway/train and then do other thing while there, you don't have to wait until you arrive to start doing other things.

This works but only in very specific types of commutes. I used to take the train which took 30 minutes each way and I always got a seat, perfect for reading, maybe even light work. Now after almost 2 decades I know that that's the exception and almost always my commute was pretty much wasted (I don't consider listening to music or podcasts productive, it's nice but not productive).
Say I'm a regular member of society and want to watch the trailer for a new Battlefield game. How should I do this? YouTube asks me to give them pictures of my ID for that. This is the mechanism that will be used for this right now.

And it's all in the name of "protecting" children. This isn't some future hypothetical - it has already happened. I've been barred from a whole slew of content on YouTube because of this.

Right now it's only used by Google. It's likely that in the future most websites will use this, because it's government regulation.
> Why not use an alternative solution such as a mailing list, Discord, Element, Slack, Discourse, Vanilla Forums, Simple Machines Forum,

I can see posts I made thirty years ago on Usenet answering questions I might still have today.

It's possible that as few as none of the sites you described will be here in thirty years, and certainly _some_ of them will be gone.
Do you have a better answer?

If someone threatens your life, your children's lives, your friends' lives, your neighbor's life, and you do nothing, what does that make you? A coward, yes? Petitions, strong language, holding hands, sitting in the street, and singing will definitely light a fire under their asses when they're in power, won't it?

Nothing has been "tried" in climate emergency except gentle suggestions and begging that has fallen on deaf ears. This isn't big tobacco milking profits from a dangerous product with delay tactics; it's the big, omnicidal Holocene extinction. Dead as in everything and everyone.
SEEKING WORK | NYC | REMOTE

## Overview
I am Generalist developer with 13 years experience seeking part-time or full-time contract and freelance opportunities.

I spent first half of career in finance-adjacent startup focused on big data. I primarily wrote low-latency multithreaded C++ / Python code for custom internal applications.

Currently I am a fully-remote full-stack web developer for a consultancy with experience on a wide variety of projects and tech stacks.

I pride myself on being able to come up to speed with a project quickly and also make an impact quickly. I also pride myself in my ability to communicate with non-technical stakeholders to discover requirements.

I also have a good deal of experience with working with and improving messy codebases.

## Technical Highlights

* Python, SqlAlchemy, Django, Express.js, Vue, React, Marionette, AngularJS
* Mysql, Postgres, Informix
* C++11x / boost::python / STL / multithreading / binary protocols / TCP/IP / distributed computing / POSIX.
* AWS: / Cloud Formation / EC2 / S3 / SNS / IAM.
* CI/CD with Jenkins
* Familiar with gitflow and best other development best practices.

OTOH, rent is down 20% in San Francisco. Basically at a 5 year low right now. https://www.zumper.com/rent-research/san-francisco-ca
Yeah but it might be because jumping ("how high?") even when not officially asked to jump might be the only safe thing to do. After all history -both recent and further back- tells us that with the US "You are either with us or against us". I don't think you can safely say no to the 2% and not be put in a box with Russia, China, etc.

For syntax level changes, "editions" allow libraries to opt into the new language version while keeping compatibility with old libraries.

For most other issues it's simply accepting the suboptimal choices made in the past.
No. Smartscreen is not meant to single-handedly solve the entire problem of malware. It is just meant to warn you when you are running software that isn't commonly used. It is nothing more than an attempt to provide the user with a useful heuristic. It does not make moral judgements about the software you use like you are saying here.

Ask HN: What are some cognitive dissonances you deal with?
Obvious one for me is my diet. I still take diary products despite knowing how cruel the dairy industry is. Trying to reduce my intake but it's hard...

What else do you deal with on a daily basis?
Ask HN: If you finetune GPT-3, are you cheating?
In its annual Build Conference, Microsoft announced its first GPT-3-powered application, a code generator for the Power Fx data query language.

According to the Microsoft Blog, “For instance, the new AI-powered features will allow an employee building an e-commerce app to describe a programming goal using conversational language like... A fine-tuned GPT-3 model then offers choices for transforming the command into a Microsoft Power Fx formula, the open source programming language of the Power Platform.”

The question is, wasn't GPT-3 supposed to be an all-purpose language model that can perform multiple tasks without being finetuned? From the GPT-3 paper's abstract: “Here we show that scaling up language models greatly improves task-agnostic, few-shot performance, sometimes even reaching competitiveness with prior state-of-the-art finetuning approaches.”

There isn't much detail on what Microsoft means by "fine-tuned GPT-3 model," but a few scenarios come to mind:

1- GPT-3 can't perform code generation on par with models that have been specially trained for this purpose.

2- The vanilla GPT-3 can perform quality code generation, but it is computationally expensive, wastes too much resources, and can't turn in profits.

This led me to the following questions:

1- Can the fine-tuned GPT-3 model perform other language-related tasks (text generation, question answering, etc.)?

2- If not, do you really need GPT-3 for this in the first place? I mean, there are several other Transformer-based architectures that can perform specialized tasks.

3- And finally, if you finetune GPT-3, are you cheating in the sense that you're defying the original goal of the model?

You can find my full analysis here:

lol i'm a dummy for never realizing that SO(3) isn't homeomorphic (the diffeo part isn't necessary to prove this...) to T^3 (which i naively thought because s in SO(3) seemingly has 3 free parameters). surprise surprise SO(3) is actually homeomorphic to P^3 lol.
I am learning Rust and SPARK2014, and I would think SPARK2014/Ada would be a better fit for high-integrity software for verifiable, embedded software than Rust. This was the older article that stimulated me to look at Ada and then SPARK2014 again:

It makes total moral sense, but Google has proven that morality is not their top priority when money is at stake. That's why governments fine companies that do undesirable things; it forces shareholders to care about ethics.

And perhaps it shouldn't; America's prudeness around sex but glorification of violence has had an effect around the world through Hollywood for years. Adding that morality to the flow of information might not be what we want.
Haha, how did I miss that? :D

Yes this looks nice! Though I was also thinking of a way to just upload images that can then be used.
Plus clicking the original "Open image" with middle mouse button (or invoking with alt+enter, IIRC) always did exactly what new command does, opened image in new tab.

New command apparently lacks alternative usage forcing current tab, but still opens image in new window instead of tab with Ctrl modifier. (Maybe it would be possible to plead for re-introduction of similar modifier?)

At least we can still drag/n/drop plain images to the Tab bar.
InnoVint | Back End Developer, FT | Wine Production Software | www.innovint.us | Remote (US-based)

InnoVint is the world's leading SaaS solution for wineries and wine producers. We are and have always been a well-performing, tight knit virtual team that meets several times a year in the real world (usually a wine destination!). About half the team has some wine production experience. If you love the idea of being part of the wine industry, but haven't yet considered combining your experience in SaaS and tech, maybe InnoVint is the perfect company for you. If you are a reformed or aspiring winemaker, that's even better! Don't worry though, most engineers on our team don't have wine experience -- we'll show you the ropes.

We're seeking a senior Back End Developer to contribute to our core wine platform. Your responsibilities will consist of creating new features that model winemaking processes, maintaining APIs, and working on performance optimizations. Our tech stack is Python+Django and Angular12+Typescript.

InnoVint | Product Owner/Manager | Wine Production Software | www.innovint.us | Remote (US-based) | FT

We're seeking a passionate Product Manager to help create exceptional features for our users. You'll orchestrate across our design, engineering, and winemaking teams to craft perfect features aligned with the needs of our business and users. Winemaking experience is not required, but experience in complex B2B apps is highly desired.

If you're interested in helping us delight our winemaking clients with the wine industry's best software and most passionate team, I'd love to hear from you. Please send it to directly to me (Dan, the CTO) at dan @ innovint.us
Smarkets | Full Time | ONSITE, part WFH [REMOTE during the plague] (London, UK; also Downtown LA, California)

We're a modern betting exchange, going technology first to enable proper price competition in a field of fat commissions. Join a small and agile team in our beautiful office in St. Katharine Docks. If our US location tickles your fancy, you get to help a sunny satellite office too. For the time being, thanks to Covid, we are in fully remote mode.

Smarkets develops a reliable, low-latency, highly concurrent betting exchange based on trading exchange designs. We're also building a fast, modern web interface to allow for a smoother experience. Servicing our users is top priority.

The Smarkets platform is written predominantly in Python, C++ (replacing still present Erlang) and Javascript for React & React-Native, relying heavily on asynchronous programming techniques. The tech stack sports Kafka, Postgres and Kubernetes. We use REST where we can, and gRPC where we can't. Life at Smarkets circles around people, version control, configuration management and automation. We can - and do - deploy to production several times a day.

Production environment is in AWS. In fact, Smarkets was the first gambling operator under the Maltese regulator to get permission to run everything in the cloud. We push the envelope where needed and educate auditors when necessary.

We are looking for engineering talent all across the board: frontend and mobile, infrastructure, data science, trading engine, security - and of course generalists, those yet to find their calling.

If you like the idea of flat structure and practical engineering approach, see our jobs at https://smarkets.com/careers . (To be clear, for most roles we tend to require either a CS degree or comparable experience.)

Out of curiosity, what is your job?
Given this is a pandemic-induced issue, replace "honest" with "lucky" - but otherwise yeah, it seems so.

The ways risk is being distributed in society is a fascinating topic.
The claims of incels resemble the complaints of businesses about the shortage of labor, when they are offering only minimum wage.
not monitoring yet.
What is this going to create? The great firewall of Europe?

Delivering threats of ultimatum is not how you work together, and leads me to say -- you aren't someone I want to work with.
This reads like the comment of someone who has never lived outside of the coasts. It's very common to do 300+ mile road trips every other month in the Midwest on a whim. Yeah, the most number of miles might be those commuting from bedroom communities/suburbs, but the important metric in this case is what percentage of people also take long distance trips and how often. I don't even live in a rural area, but I don't think I could reasonably own an EV as an only vehicle and don't really expect to for a decade.
I have a similar thing with my laptop. I have lots of variance though, I have co-working space I can go to, and I often take my laptop to various places around the city just for the wander and to feel connected again. (The pandemic hasn't really affected my city in Aus)

The reality is that working from home means I end up spending almost all my time at home. Almost all 24 hours of it. I think about how quickly life goes by, how much I've already spent behind a computer, and realize that's not going to work for me long term. I will be very disappointed if I look back on my life and saw that it almost entirely occurred behind a computer in the one spot.

Virtuix | Senior Software Engineer | Full-Time | REMOTE or Austin, TX | https://www.virtuix.com

Moving around virtual worlds by pushing buttons on a controller feels unnatural and static. To experience true VR, you need to walk around virtual worlds as you do in real life – using your own feet. That’s why we developed the Omni.

Backed by over $35MM in investments from Mark Cuban and 12 venture capital funds, the Omni is the first omni-directional treadmill that lets players walk and run in 360 degrees inside VR games and other virtual worlds. The Omni’s immersive experience takes VR to the next level. The system was even portrayed in Steven Spielberg’s Ready Player One. Omni Pro, the commercial version of the Omni, and Omni Arena, a multiplayer configuration, have become global entertainment hits. We shipped nearly 4,000 systems to 45 countries, including to major venues like Dave & Buster’s.

We invite you to join our mission to launch Omni One and deliver our popular gaming experience to millions of homes around the world.

Check out our Omni One prototype video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOYHg8qdxTE

I feel like the pandemic has given rise to a winners vs losers mentality with respect to WFH. For the longest time, people who prefer to work in office were the winners, and now it's the people who prefer WFH. In reality everybody is different and wants different things out of the work aspect of their life. I have been in an awful place mentally due to WFH; I can't stand not separating work from life, I'm more social than the average dev so I enjoy being around people, I get easily distracted at home, etc. I don't know why compromise is not more common in online spaces. Reads like 90% of introverts running a victory lap.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll have to look into this more deeply. I'm curious if anyone knows where the appropriate place to ask would be (foreign embassy?). FWIW, I'm not planning to hide this from my firm.

On one hand, 100 tons isn't that much for military logistics - a single tank with packaging, crew and supplies would take a whole cargo load; or perhaps a mech. infantry platoon with 3-4 APCs.

On the other hand, it does open up opportunities, and if the price goes down enough, keeping a bunch of "cargo rockets" around and runnning multiple trips per day can be a viable way to get reinforcements to some hotspot very quickly.
