Generally Intelligent | Machine Learning Research Engineer | REMOTE or San Francisco | Full-time |
https://generallyintelligent.ai

We’re an AI research company directly building human-like general machine intelligence. We have significant funding that will last a decade from investors including YC, researchers from OpenAI, and a number of high profile individuals.

Work with our researchers on cutting-edge deep learning research — running experiments, implementing architectures from papers, experiment tracking tools, model debugging methods, automated hyperparameter optimizers, developer tooling & visualization, etc.

Learning & growth is a core part of our culture, and we will invest in yours. For example, the whole engineering team worked through Pieter Abbeel’s CS294 last year, and some of us also completed CS287 and CS285.

No prior machine learning experience required.

The ocean is most certainly 3D. The surface is 2D.
Please refrain from sarcasm that doesn’t add anything. If you want to add to the discussion please elaborate on why you think it is impossible to know if something is extremism in a reasonably objective manner, and explain the examples most people would think of like neonazi propaganda and vaccine disinformation that causes people to prefer unstudied horse dewormer over studied vaccines.
Sounds great.

Except that the claim that this is the first electric truck available is false.

Do they have a firm delivery date yet?

The UX issues suggest a lot more to do, even if they can scale mechanical production.

So... when are they ever going to ship a finished product...?

(As an aside, I can't believe an IPO with an $80B valuation is being considered without shipping a single product. What are they, a "tech startup" disrupting a fungible marketplace with no barriers to entry!?)
P.S. Hal Finney was in the dorm room next to mine. His technique for getting As at Caltech was to do nothing, skip the lectures, and flip through the text book a couple hours before the exam. On the other hand, there was a sad group who would work their tails off and still barely scrape by. Sort of like me at basketball camp. They'd usually transfer out after a year or two.
Can someone edit this to be “first US states” please. US centrism is so rude.
What would be the fastest way to read 1M small files to memory? Right now i can only do 2.5k/sec using Paralells.foreach even on a super fast ssd.
What's the line of thinking that led you to believing a change like this would be for user tracking?

(Seriously asking by the way, this isn't a put-down. MS isn't in the ad business, let alone Github, and these changes primarily affect people who are logged in, so … no idea how you can make the leap)

Looks interesting! Do you have plans to add aggregations and analytics functions? It seems like you can do simple counting with TOUCH but I didn’t see any SUM etc. Can it run in-memory or just on disk? If in-memory how does it benchmark vs Redis? Thanks and congrats on the launch!
Space is, but low earth orbit isn't. At least not when you want to fill it with millions of circles (not points!) that must keep certain distances from another.

I'm surprised so many of the comments jumped right to presenting ID to the government. This sort of thing was exactly what I had in mind too. My watch can already:

- stream music when I go for a run in the park

- give emergency info to first responders if something happens to me while I'm out

- pay for the bus or train home if I need it for some reason with Omny + Apple Pay

- pay for things I stop to buy with Apple Pay

Giving govt-issued proof of age so I can buy a beer on occasion after a workout without taking my drivers' license with me is a welcome addition to all the rest of that power.

If I'm crossing a border, I've already got alternative hard-copy ID on me.
Why are you on it if you're annoyed by it?

Imagine being stupid enough to deny the common cold endemic. The sniffles deniers are evil morons.
That's very easily resolved with a fresh install though. And it's always been.

The problem with the more locked down nature of devices these days, especially mobile, is that that isn't an option anymore like with this Lenovo update.
I don’t think anyone who seriously follows the space sector hates SoaceX (perhaps except those with vested interests elsewhere who are being embarrassed) - they’re doing incredible things.

People may hate Musk’s public profile, or some of his Twitter mistakes, or dislike his approach to ‘Full Self Driving’ at Tesla… but let’s not confuse this with antipathy to SpaceX.
I agree with you and I find the other comments dismissing you to be completely mind blowing and heartless.

We are making society increasingly more difficult to navigate and creating more barriers that imped the movement of people. We are all hurt by these policies and I have not seen sufficient evidence that they do anything to curb the spread of covid now with high transmission rates all over the world. The time for travel restrictions for most of the world has long passed.
Try nx instead of lerna/yarn workspaces.

Nx will figure out the affected dependency graph for packages in your mono repo so you are able to only build/test/deploy the changes.
Reminded me of that other Beryl, remember that thing? Flames on all my windows and lasers when I clicked, rad.
They are inadvertently altering my timeline to accommodate their own security policy so yes, clearly invasive.

EDIT: this is kind of a joke, but the spirit is still in play.

I almost never understood the lectures the first go-round. The only workable option was take it all down.

You just started my idea generator: Why not hundreds of feet of tape moving between two wheels like and old tape recorder. Two tapes on two pairs of wheels. Roll one tape till the first number is visible; roll the second tape till the second number aligns; then roll the tapes together same tape speed by some mechanism.

Looking for a data engineering/analyst position (remote preferred). I completed a bootcamp specializing in data science, and am currently working on getting an AWS certification. My background is in Windows IT for the past decade and have 2 years of python coding experience.
Yeah. And what does "programmer mean". Python, c++, java, css? Am I coding for windows? Then I'd need a windows box. Iphone? -> Mac, ....

Also what about preferences. I work on a team with 20 devs.. some of us use Vim to edit files. Other use VS code or Atom. Still others use emacs.
retitle to: My Ego is Too High....
You're right - attempting to teach others is an excellent way to learn it yourself. You'll find out very fast if you know the material or not :-/
Yes I forget if it was on or not. You are correct. On the Windows OS (not server) you have to run a command to enable it. I will never forget the feeling I had watching the space on my good drive dropping precipitously as it was wiped away into “oblivion.”
There's no rational discussion to be had between homeopathy doctor and an oncologist, for example. It's just a waste of bandwidth and source of misinformation which is killing innocents.
The HN policy is to repeat the headline without any changes. You will have to contact Apple about it, as the original headline omits US as well.
I... what? I've never had my ssh key expire, because that's just not a thing. If you don't use it, then I think Github drops it after a year and requires you to add it again, but it's really not hard to put it back in in that case.

Also why on earth would I want to type a password every time I do something, even when it was an option I usually cancelled my push and set up an ssh key.
Factories do this. It might be necessary too if you have an office right at the center of an expensive city.
At least within the eco system, Apple aren’t going to push ads onto your computer.

The dichotomy isn’t Apple vs PC anymore. It’s walled garden vs freedom. If you’re going to choose a walled garden, Apple sure is the nicest. If you want to own your hardware you need to start supporting the smaller players.

Magneto is that you? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAcs2uROaoI
But in-space users already can use solar power of their own. So you're not providing that much competitive advantage.
There was another company that's been playing around with the idea of chainless series hybrid bicycles for a few years called bike2.dk (an older video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JKOKpg21dQ ) - they seemingly haven't shipped a product yet five years later. Beyond that think there's also been experimental covered 'human-powered' vehicles done similarly.

It may work for some specific commuter usecases but have had a hard time being convinced it replaces a typical consumer e-bike - they assume it's been initially charged. The interesting part though is the possible component/maintenance reduction if things like regen braking really works or there's more ergonomic/accessible/multi-person form-factors introduced.
Where can I send an application for an intern position?
Is there any open source engine similar to this or Cloudflare Workers where I could deploy JavaScript code to be run in isolates by a single process, optionally serving over HTTP? Trying to find a way to avoid the overhead with current open source FaaS solutions running arbitrary containers.
Well if you are friends with the devs, perhaps they could create a fork that gives it back to you.
> I think there is an interesting philosophical overlap between automation and intelligence.

On the flip side - there's an interesting hypothesis that the purpose of consciousness is to mediate conflicting non-conscious impulses. An example would be falling in the water - you have to mediate the impulse to breath with other conflicting impulses (such as the knowledge that you will drown).

So I think consciousness/intelligence helps build skills and push them into the subconscious (thus 'automating' them) and then consciousness has to step in again for edge cases the automation can't (yet) handle.

There's some fun discussion on the mediation hypothesis (with some Dune tie-ins) here: https://www.rifters.com/crawl/?p=791
This raises an interesting question: Is there any benefit to getting the Mozilla offering over the Mullvad offering?
> Finally, again, 15W TDP is not the same as 15W under normal usage. That misunderstanding appears to be driving most of your disagreements in this thread.

No. The CPUs can be configured to consume no more than 15 Watts, even if few OEMs do so. Same goes for the M1 - there's no difference with regards to this: both the MBP 13 and the Mac Mini have higher power limits and active cooling for that reason.

In fact, the latest U-series mobile Ryzen CPUs are even optimised to be most efficient at a 15W power level, contrary to Intel's Ice Lake chips, which get the most performance at a higher wattage configuration of 28 Watts.
As someone going through a second infection now, I hope that’s not the case. It isn’t as bad as the first time so far but it’s still no fun. I’m a healthy 33 year old.
> If the government was spending millions of dollars on ad campaigns to try to get people to use their faucet less, but they were not dealing with wasteful farmers, you may have an argument.

I mean.. that doesn't seem very far off from the truth?
This is a great overview and explanation of the Axiom of Choice! I was familiar with the basics of it, but this really did a good job clarifying it for me, so thanks for that.
Credit to Musk here for being smart enough not to get in one of his own rockets (yet).
> before they get pulled back into the atmosphere by gravity.

Irrelevant to the point, but: It's more that they get pulled further down into atmosphere by... atmosphere. With just gravity alone, they'd stay perfectly in orbit.

Why is this greying out? It's an obvious and legitimate difference that isn't just "hur dur treaty biased for the Americans".
Yes. It helps to have local knowledge. And, yes, there's a lot more of that on the web than there was twenty-some years ago. But I'm still willing to pay for a professional who has first-hand knowledge about an area that has pretty fragmentary information online.

No. I'm probably not going to pay a professional to plan my trip to NYC unless it has some very specific niche focus that they're expert in. But less traveled areas? Sure, if there's an appropriate pro available.
Hope those billionaires won't dare to force for their faces to be put on future postal stamps, I grew up as a kid having Laika [1] on them, I wouldn't want for future postal-stamp collector kids to have to look at the faces of Branson or, God forbid, Bezos.

How many years until a solo hobbyist launches a rocket that crosses the Karman line? I bet as soon as three years and not longer than five years. Ground-based research isn't your only tool in the near future.

[Scholarly] Code review tools; criteria and implementations?

Does JOSS specify e.g. ReviewBoard, GitHub Pull Request reviews, or Gerrit for code reviews?
Hey nirav, would you consider using a bios that has rndis drivers?
Ugh. Space Shuttle was proposed at the height of Cold War - way before Apollo-Soyuz joint flight - with ideas from military as well as from bean counters. After Challenger disaster US military started to come back to conventional launchers, like Titan-IV - and Gorbachev was already in the office, and USSR crashed in early 1990-s - so you're mostly right that Space Shuttle didn't have much to do for military or for making access to space less expensive.

On the other hand, STS did flew separate missions, including Hubble servicing ones. And maybe it could be repurposed for something else - there are many examples how older space systems are trained for new tricks. In case of Shuttle that could be trickier, since crew safety is at stake, but still - both Apollo and Soyuz flew successful program, and both this spacecrafts killed their earlier crew. As for automating tasks, Shuttle is way less automated than most small satellites these days, per unit of functionality - after all, Space Shuttle was designed starting in late 1960-s.

I personally think it's correct decision to retire STS, and it should have been done earlier - given that after Challenger STS didn't switch to "few person, safety abort systems for all moments in flight" vehicles. US space industry had to survive 1990-s, where not too much of results happened in the area of safe human flights, so yes, it was hard to ground shuttles earlier. Still it would be the right decision.

Though I support Reddit in its (very belated) actions here, I disagree with your statement.

Restrictions on free speech and dissent ... or the overwhelming of channels, forums, and archives with propaganda and disinformation ... are both characteristics of abusive, power, regardless of its foundation. The origins of free speech princples emerged in response to religious and monarchical governmental abuses, for the most part (with some role played by lesser nobles and interests).

With numerous commercial firms existing at scales which rival entire countries, the "private property" defence against any and all limitations on censorship simply isn't supportable. That said, a reasonable and principled policy with review, oversight, and appeals processes would be useful. Ultimately I see government regulation as a very likely necessity for communications platforms operating at significant scale.
There's an iOS feature called Guided Access[1], which allows you to hand over your phone in a limited-access state (locked to the current app, optionally with areas of the screen disabled for input - or whole input classes like touch/keyboard/motion/volume control disabled). You can also apply a time limit, after which time the phone requires you to authenticate (you can even prohibit Face ID to exit guided access, requiring a PIN instead).

Once enabled and in an app, you just triple-click the side button to start

It's not designed for fully-untrusted users, of course - my understanding is that no in-memory key storage is invalidated. It's useful for handing a phone to friends and relatives to browse some photos with limited access to the rest of your files, and without notifications appearing

this is really cool, especially as a nonprofit - makes it feel much more mission-oriented and teacher-first.

are there any ideological/learning methodology differences between podsie and anki?
I didn't say that tax funded education _must_ be bad ROI. I gave an example of several nations that have significantly better ROI such as Germany and Finland. I did say I think we need to get our fiscal responsibility in education figured out before we move on past K-12.

I think this desire to reign in spending to make sure we find a way to do it effectively holds regardless of one's belief in which particular education we are thinking about funding. You wouldn't start throwing more money at a problem until you understand what is going wrong and have a suitable plan to fix and and witness the managers of the money are acting accordingly.

The main reason education is so expensive for a toddler is because of government intervention, such as childcare ratios and regulations regarding the facilities and licensing. If I lived in Idaho (the only state in the nation which has no such government regulation) it would be significantly cheaper.
I’m a big fan of 1x, 2x, etc., for this reason. Usually clearly strictly multiplicative, except with annoying constructions like “2x improvement”.
That'd be the case if a conscious entity was not daring to remove code.

An evolutionary process, on the other hand, doesn't fear removing random sections so their continued presence indicates the "junk" must (somehow) be important to the organism's fitness.
I'm intrigued. Do you have any more info on this?
Both Mullvad and Mozilla VPN are the same service (Mozilla leases it from Mullvad).

Mullvad has a flat monthly fee (5€) and only stores a randomly generated 16 digit account number that you can stop filling up the day you want. You can pay with almost anything, crypto, credit card, even via post mail+.

Mozilla's VPN requires you to create a Firefox account and provide them your email, your age and a password. Optionally you can enable 2FA authentication.

So you trade off a bit more of your privacy in exchange of the same service you already have. It only makes sense if you want to support the Mozilla Corporation and Firefox's development (after all, money donated to the Foundation doesn't go to the Corporation).

Revisiting Java in 2021 – Part 1
I have never used a password for git. It's always been ssh keys, across github, gitlab, bitbucket, github enterprise, stash, a folder on a server I have, etc. It wasn't something I was familiar with before the first time I used github in 2009 as a teenager, and it did not take too long to figure out.

Nowadays if copy/pasting the CLI commands github gives you and putting that in your profile settings is offputting, a lot of GUIs exist that will automate the setup process. It's not something where you're going to lose lots of time adjusting your settings, and it's not like github did not give a lot of warning on this change.

There's plenty of security behaviours I find overbearing, but I have to say I'm pretty ok with how github has been handling their transitions.

Violating airspace regulations isn't gutsy. It's irresponsible and selfish. It puts others at risk.
Oh dang, for real? That's super weak if true! Also, no wonder they have hundreds of episodes... I'd be curious if you have any links/etc. on the subject to share!
Is that really to his credit though? Should he not be prepared to risk his own life, just like those of his employees?
Oh, yeah? Well you should focus more on improving yourself than on the perceived faults in others!

Start with better definitions for things. Sort out goals from standards, maybe. Also, maybe rethink "anchor points." And the intermittent boldness, while possibly a metaphor for your struggle, is annoying.
Just compare construction GDP between China and US. Both report a similar amount nominally (once adjusted for exchange rate), but China uses more than 10x the cement and steel as the US.

This is for actually building things. On the tertiary side, housing service GDP (ex. rent and inputed rent) has the US report 2-3x more than China despite having 25% the population.
