Cortx | Senior Machine Learning Engineer - Deep Learning (and many other roles!) | Baltimore, Maryland | Onsite, Full-time | VISA Sponsorship Available

Cortx is a profitable, stable, and growing artificial intelligence startup that is building an NLP product that automatically writes content about any subject with the same level of quality, factual accuracy, and usefulness as a human. This product already has thousands of monthly paying subscribers and our MRR has been growing by 10% month over month.

You would be at the intersection of research and production code - taking our research roadmap and helping make it a reality. You will be helping our AI team take nascent research concepts and turn them into state of the art natural language generation. You will be constantly ingesting research papers, building prototypes, and later turning those prototypes into production code.

Our work almost exclusively involves very heavy deep learning (transformers) and we primarily use PyTorch.

You will be working directly with our Founder/CEO (me!), who is leading the AI team, both as a manager and an individual contributor.

We sponsor all visas, including H1B and Green Card, and we pay market rates for SF/NYC despite being located in an area with a significantly cheaper cost of living.

If you have done work with transformers for text generation, information retrieval, or text style transfer (and especially if it has advanced SOTA), we would be very interested in talking with you.

In addition to the Senior Machine Learning Engineer role above, we are also hiring for the following roles:

* Senior Full Stack Engineer

* Customer Success Manager

> by extracting log2(44) bits progressive out of a random number to choose from my blessed set of characters for passwords and it took some patience with the security team to verify that it was safe.

It's safe but if you somehow depended on all the passwords having exactly equal probability, you'd be wrong (unless you're already using a random number from a limited range). Of course this is easily fixed by a range check on the random number and generating it again if it failed the check.
Because you might still sit in a (slow going) car on a highway and high-speed crashes involving other (slower going) cars can still end deadly for the passengers on the slow car.

Most highways in Germany already have a speed limit and setting limits for the few areas where it's not the case sounds like a good think for me as I had some quite negative experience with people going way to fast (for the amount of traffic).

But I also feel that the 130cap is a bit low, while taking over cars I would like to be able to go a bit faster. Like ~145?? or so?
When looking at a single year for people who have losses and expenses it can paint quite a misleading picture. Over 10 years how much did they pay, is a much better question.
Robinhood is a broker-dealer, and is subject to the same regulations as everyone else. All the major brokerages hold securities under their name ("in street name") on behalf of the customer. You still retain legal ownership, even for fractional shares. As far as I know, Robinhood has its own clearing house subsidiary, Robinhood Securities, that handles the share bookkeeping, including the fractional share inventory you're talking about.
Coal power plants are already on schedule to be phased out by 2038 [1] but even now the mix of imported energy+coal+gas+wind+solar+hydro+biomass and the last few nuclear power stations on the grid are sometimes not enough to meet the power needs, which is why some fossil fuel plants were restarted, their shutdown pushed back and even new ones announced [2]. This is in part due to the insane plan to phase out both nuclear AND coal at the same time which when combined with ever rising electricity usage is certainly a bad combination. The misplaced hysteria over the Fukushima incident leading to this plan and situation is just utterly insane (Germany in comparison to the Japanese coastline: no tsunamis, no (major) earthquakes, etc.).

[1]: "On 26 January 2019, a group of federal and state leaders as well as industry representatives, environmentalists, and scientists made an agreement to close all 84 coal plants in the country by 2038. The move is projected to cost €40 billion in compensation alone to closed businesses. Coal was used to generate almost 40% of the country's electricity in 2018 and is expected to be replaced by renewable energy and natural gas.[18] 24 coal plants are planned to be closed by 2022 with all but 8 closed by 2030. The final date is expected to be assessed every 3 years." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_in_Germany#Coal_power)

[2]: "As of 2017 Germany imported more than half of its energy" and
"In 2020 a number of previously shut down fossil gas plants (Irsching 4, Irsching 5) were restarted quoting "heavy fluctuations of level of power generated from the wind and sun"[78] and a new fossil gas power plant was announced by RWE near the former Biblis nuclear power plant shut down in 2017. The project is declared as part of "decarbonization plan" where renewable energy capacity is accompanied by fossil gas plants to cover for intermittency.[79] A new fossil gas power plant will be also opened from 2023 in Leipheim, Bavaria to compensate for loss of power caused by "nuclear exit" in this region.[80] In 2021 plan to decommission Heyden 4 coal power plant was cancelled and the plant remains online to compensate for shutdown of nuclear power plan in Grohnde."

I like the way they communicate. It almost makes the wait enjoyable.
I suspect the option of the three options you listed which wasn’t one of the two they rejected as flabbergasting, was the right one.

I.e. they were suggesting that brewdog, uh, deliberately invites criticism, and then uses that criticism to their advantage by using defamation law.
Those patents aren’t for superconductors. They claim “a material with a conductivity in excess of 10^6 S/cm.” That’s not too far off from copper at around 6*10^5 S/cm. Pretty good for a polymer if it works I imagine, but not superconducting.

Just because someone names their company “ROOM TEMPERATURE SUPERCONDUCTORS,” doesn’t mean they’ve made a fundamental physics breakthrough.
The TV shows ads? In menus? Or while watching TV channels? Or at startup? Or, when? I’d pull the internet cable in a heartbeat if I saw an ad on it, and I’m on my second smart TV for the last 10 years (although my current one is 7 years old).

I mean I don’t actually use any of the “smart” stuff. No Apps or anything. Not sure why anyone would want to? I watch my TV channels on the built in receiver (90% or more of what I watch is regular scheduled TV, I love my old fashioned TV channels!), and I cast stuff to it when I want to stream Netflix or sports.
That one stretch of road is safer than some other arbitrary stretch of road does not mean that imposing speed limits would not help make the first road even safer.
Frankly I don't like people driving at excessive speeds around me, because it puts my life in danger. Not that hard to understand.

Exxon lobbyists admit they have no intention of fighting climate change
> Luckily you can

At present, you can't guarantee that. EVs require more emissions during production, which must be offset during their lifetime. An unfavorable scenario would be having a lot of EVs that go under-used because of a trend towards less commuting. If you're planning to do very little driving, an ICE vehicle may well be better than an EV.
Most companies that go public haven’t recently violated securities laws and most don’t readily admit that they’ll probably do it again. (But at least they’re truthful in their disclosure! As required.) They also have the boilerplate “this is a highly regulated industry” language as a separate risk:

> Our business is subject to extensive, complex and changing laws and regulations, and related regulatory proceedings and investigations. Changes in these laws and regulations, or our failure to comply with these laws and regulations, could harm our business.

This risk also stood out to me because it’s something I usually associate with SPACs:

> As a result of our recent settlement with the SEC, we are currently considered an “ineligible issuer,” which limits our ability to use certain free writing prospectuses in securities offerings and will delay our ability to qualify as a “well-known seasoned issuer” in the future.

SPACs are an ineligible issuer because they’ve been a blank check company, shell company, or penny stock issuer in the last three years. While I don’t have many nice things to say about SPACs the ineligible issuer language is pretty benign boilerplate in that situation.

RH, on the other hand, is an ineligible issuer because they were C&D’d by the SEC for violating the anti-fraud provisions of the federal securities laws in the last three years. Companies typically seek to avoid committing securities fraud in the run up to their IPO. So while the risk factor itself (not a WKSI) isn’t necessarily unusual the reason for the risk is and it speaks directly to management’s (at best) inability to appropriately manage the regulatory risk or (at worst) lack of trustworthiness.

Retail investors could still invest using regular tools. Most banks have portals where you can buy/sell, but most of them safeguard against margin bets and they have much less sketchy practices.

Robinhood made it fancy and hid the complexities of investing so they could turn investing into a gambling platform.

I think they have heating problems because they are pushing the limits of what can be done in their form factor: They get extremely hot under load because they're small and the fans are on the bottom, so there's a good chance they're blocked and will overheat. I have experienced this myself.

It will be interesting to see what happens in a few years of use. I wouldn't be shocked if it died - but if it did, I still might get another one. I already replace my laptop every ~3 years anyway, and the benefits it provides in terms of form factor and capability are substantial.
Alright, wsb has been waiting for this. Time to short (or buy puts) on Robinhood through Robinhood.

Though Robinhood advanced 0 commission trading (though I think it was inevitable), it's a terrible platform.
If your definition of happy includes it being a permanent state of being, no wonder you can't find it. That's not part of the definition for happiness. If I said I don't believe in computers, but my definition of computers is "sentient beings from another planet living on Earth", people would look at me like I'm nuts, for multiple reasons.

I've had a lot of weird out there smartphones, webOS, BB10 and Windows Phone 7/8. GNU/Linux phones just don't even seem close to being ready with basic phone features not working well from what I've read. If I could get one that worked reliably, lasted at least a day on battery and had some sort of NFC payment method I would.
Awe is probably one of the biggest sensations one gets from psychedelics. I wonder if this may help to explain some of the antidepressant effects that are currently being explored.
I think you posted this on the wrong thread as that site appears to parse the "Who wants to be hired?" threads rather than the "Who is hiring?" threads.

You might want to post it here instead. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27699702
As your example shows, the speed is not the problem, the difference is. If I remember correctly, some research found the accidents to occur where people drive more different speeds rather than where people drive fast.

Overtaking someone without an empty lane of separation with a difference greater than 50km/h is unsafe any day of the week. You have no time to react if that person decides to overtake someone else, if there is something in front of them that they need to swerve around... on German dashcam channels the people that drive 180km/h+ get excessively angry when someone pulls to the left to overtake a truck and I just keep wondering if they have anger issues. I get that they feel like that person almost killed them but they're the ones trying to pass someone with a huge speed differential.

Perhaps we should address the differential if you want to address human safety. Put a speed camera in an unlimited section that just watches the speed difference between adjacent lanes. When too large, a cop can look at the recording and judge the safety of the situation for themselves. That's what they're doing with "smartphone cameras" now in the Netherlands: the camera spots that you are holding a smartphone and takes a picture, then 2 cops independently check the picture to see if the computer got it correct, and then you get a fine in the mail (which you can fight if you disagree).

> Coding with an non-integer number of bits is counter-intuitive

I've reinvented this very thing several times in the past. I don't see how it is in any way unnatural or unintuitive. You're simply numbering the members of a Cartesian product of some finite sets. The maximum number possible, if you start from number 1, is the product of the cardinalities of all of your sets. It's basically elementary school math, which is probably why I had no problems with coming up with this idea even in my dilettante past.
Why wouldn't it be as long they follow the law in both jobs? It is like defense attorney becoming a prosecutor or an IRS employee becoming a tax advisor.

The best person to give advice on a subject are those who have experience on both sides.

It has been a long wait, but I am really impressed with the amount of work they have put into this.
Apparently, this ~is~ was a Gentlemen's agreement of the German automakers, to stop the competition for top-speed at 250km/h. Most adhered to it, except Porsche. But nowadays most offer you a special package which will remove the artificial limit, often for another 4-5 digit amount.
The phone market is lost. May be better to focus on keeping desktop/laptop Linux hardware available.

But the way things are going, the open source community might soon have to start designing their own CPUs, as you may not even be able to buy a high-performance CPU within a couple of decades, they'll be proprietary tech that only exists as part of a locked-down platform, like Apple are now doing.
User-replaceable battery means that entire product categories like wireless earbuds e.g. Airpods cannot exist.

A better solution is that the manufacturer must provide battery replacement services at a cost specified at the time of purchase and only allowed to increase at the rate of inflation.

No one ever wants to argue the opposite -- "but if you tax consumers, they won't spend as much, and corporations won't make as much money!" Although personally if I had to bet on one way or the other, I would say this reversal is easier to prove.
Huh I just think about how incredibly complex and amazing human infrastructure is and get this feeling. I think about the complexity of the professor in my phone and how many millions of human hours were involved in the creation of it.

One thing that really gets me is thinking that every two years, humankind experiences the equivalent collective time that a being who had lived since the beginning of the universe would have experienced.

It’s all kinda weird stuff but I think it makes me feel a sense of awe similar to what is being talked about here.

It isn't true in the US either. A large region of the country has 130 km/h limits, and those limits are only loosely enforced. I've lived in regions of the US where 140 km/h is the typical highway driving speed.

Experience can vary widely depending where on the continent one lives. Some states do have low speed limits.
