Flyp Homes | London, UK | ONSITE (flexible WFH) | https://flyp.co

Multiple positions, at multiple levels of seniority (from intern to lead), from 50-100k GBP.

If you've ever sold a home in the UK then you have likely felt that no one in the process had any incentive to help you.
Flyp is changing that by building a business that partners with homeowners to help them realize the full potential of their investment into their home, even as far as through renovations to the home.

We're a profitable business and are scaling our operations throughout London and the UK, and to do that we need to create a decent software stack that can automate a lot of our operations. Because it is so early we haven't decided on a tech stack. If you're a wizard at excel, a category theorist writing in Haskell, an expert at PostgreSQL, or just someone who likes typescript then we would be delighted to hear from you. Our main requirements are that you're intelligent, play well with others, have an interest in real estate, and hate that people have to do repetitive jobs.

People aren’t being forced to get vaccinated.
How do you formally verify your neural networks and the like? Or is formal verification possible? Does this limit the areas where it can be applied?
I am pretty sure they fully understand. I bet they are pissed that illegal things happen that are outside of their reach. And they want to prevent this with rulings that are in fact not inline with the law. It is basically a test how resilient the german system is against a court with malicious intent.
> Every whiteboard interview I have had has been like that, but the expectation with coderpad is that you write executable code.

I always say that isn't the case at the top of my interviews, because otherwise it's a handicap for people interviewing remote.
Just tried this but it doesn't work. You might have to drag and drop some video (.mp4) or audio (.mp3) files to see that it still creates the ._ files
It's about taking precautions in general, not avoiding repair in particular.

And deal with privacy problems at the society levels, not just using laws in particular.

And it's not "or" them. It's "and".
Exactly that is what I did. Everything worked again. The driver broke it so. BUT it is kind of a general problem, since it isn't always possible to just format and reinstall everything...
Something like git revert would be amazing for apt. But maybe I just want to much.
I started using Checkbot a week ago after seeing it recommended here on HN. Big complements on the UX! Very clean and a great modern look.
I have both worked 32 hours per week over 5 work days, as well as 28 hours over 4 work days. While they both have their merits, I found working 4 days better for my work life balance. I typically work on creative projects on Fridays or run errands. This frees up my weekend and I feel very rested returning to work on Monday --even during stressful times. Strangely, working on a different cycle than most of my co-workers has also increased my focus quite a bit.

> Repair techs at Google/Apple/etc do not need to know any secrets in order to do their job.

Certainly not state secrets. But they do need to know trade secrets. For example: exact (official) replacement products, procedures, and documentation steps in order to ensure the device doesn't show up as "this is fraudulent or pirated or hacked or modified or whatever the fuck the copyright overlords demand can't be done".
Our World In Data | Data Engineer & Full-stack Engineer | Fully remote | Full time

Our World In Data is a non-profit whose mission is to make data on the world's biggest problems accessible and understandable, so that people are motivated to put their efforts behind solving them.

During the Covid-19 pandemic that continues, we provide essential data on testing, cases, deaths, vaccinations and variants that helps us all understand what's going on and helps governments make good decisions. When events like the COP26 summit occur, we're there providing context and evidence around emissions sources and reasonable angles for reducing emissions. Day by day we also highlight neglected issues like air pollution, which causes 10% of all global deaths in a normal year.

We're looking for a Data Engineer to help build the new foundation for all our data work, and make it easier to share that work with the public.

We're looking for a Full-Stack Engineer to help bring our site and our visualisations to the next level.

Both roles are high impact, and you'll be working for an organisation deeply dedicated to the public good.

Résumé/CV: https://www.linkedin.com/in/emanuelevans/

I've been working as a Cloud Architecture consultant for the past couple years (previously worked in startups). I'm looking to move to full time for the right opportunity.
This is a failure to break down goals into subgoals, which IMHO the OP is correct in ascribing to shame. Or perhaps they're wrong about shame specifically, but it's some strong emotion that keep most people from analyzing the situation properly.

There are plenty of other jobs that will provide both healthcare and a good income. You get them by making yourself seem indispensable to the people with hiring authority. How do you do that? It varies by field. In software engineering you usually just need to seem personable and confident, ace all the Leetcode interviews, and have some basic subject matter relevant to the job. In finance, you need to know rich people, and you need to convince them to give you money to manage, which usually means feeding them some potentially profitable insight that they didn't think of themselves but can trade on and then offering to manage part of their portfolio in exchange for 2 & 20. In sales, you're doing this all the time (for your employer's product, not for yourself), so the interview is the job and the job is the interview. You don't need to actually be good at the job but you need to plant the idea in their head that you'd be better at it than they are, and so it's worth paying you to do it for them. In other words, be shameless.

Rational people, when they get fired, think "Oh, it's time to fall back on this algorithm until I get a new job." Irrational but normal people think it's a personal failing that they got fired and tend to avoid dealing with it until desperation (their bank statement) sets in. That also makes normal people very averse to being fired, but this makes them lack practice in the skills that will get a new job.

I absolutely do not – I work in tech in the UK. That's why I added the proviso that expectations might vary regionally.

However, if I were to explicitly provide a contact at my current employer as a reference (which seems to be broadly standard practice in this country) then I'd expect them to be contacted.

Related to the original discussion in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29387264, why is this post falling off the HN front page?

It has almost the same number of votes and comments as https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29401454, which is 8 hours older and 14 spots higher on the front page. Maybe there are way more dislikes, and the algorithm doesn't like that?

> Hadn't you just accused others of mischaracterizing your views? Why are you doing the same to everyone arguing back?

You were the only person I accused. Because you did.
> About a month ago my wife broke her pixel phone. It couldn't be turned on so we couldn't wipe it.

That says it all. You can't expect them to try 24/7 until they get a confirmation. In addition, I doubt that they would have included the SIM card in the RMA, which means that the device would not be online through mobile, and there's no reason for the repair shop to connect the device to the WiFi as the first step, so that any erase-request can come through.

You either trust the RMA process or you burn your phone.
Tangram | Rust Programmer | Remote USA

Tangram makes it easy for programmers to train, deploy, and monitor machine learning models. With Tangram, programmers can train models and make predictions on the command line or with libraries for languages including Elixir, Go, JS, PHP, Python, Ruby, and Rust, and learn about their models and monitor them in production from a web application.

Tangram is open source and everything is written in Rust, from the core machine learning algorithms to the web application.

We are looking for strong Rust programmers who love the Rust programming language and either have machine learning experience or are interested in learning machine learning.

Here are some projects you might work on:
* Design and implement the SDK for training a machine learning model in Tangram's language libraries.
* Add support for A/B testing multiple versions of a machine learning model.
* Add support for training new model types including time series forecasting.
* Add automated alerting for statistical data drift detection by implementing Chi-Square or Kolmogorov–Smirnov tests.

Tangram is founded by former MIT, Facebook and Slack engineers. We recently raised a seed round from Kleiner Perkins and our angel investors include the creator of NextJS, the founder of GitHub, and the CEO of Slack.

We are looking to grow our current team of 3 to 6 in the next couple of months and are open to programmers working remotely from anywhere in the US.

Don't take digital photos that you don't want the world to see.

I don't like seeing "don't victim blame" taken as gospel. Blame isn't a simple binary thing. Every time a company is hacked we don't line up to defend their shoddy security practices even though they are a victim.
> There's a few things that make this pretty unlikely. Google doesn't triage or repair the phones themselves, they contract it out just like everyone else. And the people they contract it out to almost certainly have procedures in place which are meant to ensure that neither the devices themselves nor the data on them get out.

Snowden and Manning smuggled out top secret information; it seems a bit much to assume that the low bidder on a phone repair contract has leak-proof security.
I don't think its anything wild. Summarized: Don't discount the impact of vaccinated people spreading disease.
>I personally believe that the government should focus on a shorter workweek rather than minimum wage increases in the near term.

The government being involved is the most likely answer as to why a 40 hour work week is standard and why there are so many "minimum wage" jobs. A funny thing happens when you set floors or ceilings in markets, you hit them. There should be no minimum wage. People excepting jobs will set the minimum wage because people act in their own self interest. If the pay is too low, no one will take the job. This is how labor markets are set everywhere else in the economy, I don't understand how the bottom is different.

The government shouldn't have anything to do with the work week, the market should decide because what works in one sector in one region may not work in another. The government isn't as smart as the entire labor market making decisions for themselves.

Source code availaility for academic papers is important for reproducibility, so other people can run additional experiments and demonstrate that the performance numbers in the paper weren't fudged.

It's not necessarily going to be useful for production use. There are exceptions to this; for example, there are papers were the authors claim that a flash/SSD emulator is suitable for use by other academics to experiment with their FTL ideas, or to grab network traces from NFS traffic so they can be replayed to test file system performance using real world data. In those cases, the point of the paper is to share a tool that can be used by other researchers (as well as the team that created the tool in the first place), and in that case, the code had better d*mned well work. (But even then, there might be buffer overrun bugs in the SSD emulator; which is fine, since the FTL is intended to be provided by an academic researcher, and it is not expected to accept arbitrary inputs including from a malicious attacker.)

I don't know whether the papers in your case were meant to be documentation for code that was meant to be shared, or to explore a particular research idea, the code was only meant for that particular purpose. Even if it was for the former, there's an awful lot of bitrotted, unreliable "abandonware" on sourceforge or github that can be pretty skanky; that's a problem which is not restricted to academically published papers.
I also a lot of strange domains (.it, .so) and tangential related domainnames. Clicking it gives a really weird content scraped jumble that seems AI generated. My malware extension also went on alert. And this is in the top ten in a search result!
I think most of these "cluster pi" things are really just because some people don't want to have a cluster of VMs but a "real" cluster instead.
One of my most enjoyable stretches at work was when we were allowed to start a project several months ahead of schedule, but only allowed 40hrs/wk until the normally scheduled starting time. My team voted to do 4/10s for the duration, and I argued it through management. We were working out of town so its not as if the longer days cost us time at home or with family, and it allowed for so much more time at home on the longer weekend. It was wonderful.
No doubt they called Pixel Support. That's a physical device with an actual warranty.
> it lets them feel smart and superior,

While, ironically, simultaneously demonstrating the opposite.
Whenever I use coderpad I make sure to mention the code execution to my applicants and give them a choice of using it vs. just pseudocode and collaborative editing. But most of the time people appreciate the feature and like using it.
This is my first year participating. I've solved about 20-30 questions from previous years and really loved them. I tried to compete last night for top 100 and was 7 seconds off (rank 123). I shouldn't have tested my code for the first problem because it was too trivial!!

But, that gets the competitive aspect of this challenge out of the way immediately so I can simply have fun with these problems :)

I am excited for them to become a bit more challenging because my friend and I are going to work on them together.

Did you try multiple shooting? https://diffeqflux.sciml.ai/dev/examples/multiple_shooting/

I want to restructure the docs because I have come to think that any non-trivial fitting problem requires multiple shooting in order to be stable. Otherwise the loss becomes dominated by "loss values calculated beyond where the simulation has already fallen off". So I'd like to dig into some of the non-fitting examples and see if this or some other tricks are the right answer.
I can't speak specifically to IBM as a whole, but in my experience, there are parts of IBM that are old and stodgy (professional services around finance and government that I interacted with when I worked in those industries). There are other parts (around security and research that I worked with in other roles) that are pretty cool and innovative that are much more approachable and fun to work with.

IBM (and Microsoft, and Google, and others) are huge and it makes sense that there are pockets of awesome and awful distributed throughout them.
That is the misallocation I am referring to. Some women should be theoretical physicists and some men should be domestic workers. The unrealised gains must have been enormous.
If they could they would.

I remember being told over 10 years ago as I was entering the field of software that I shouldn't bother: my job is going to be outsourced soon enough.

This is just a scare tactic with little teeth. Not to say it doesn't happen, but it doesn't happen enough for it to be a consideration.
But when articles written about right-leaning figures are filled with condemnation instead of dry facts, while articles about left-leaning figures are laudatory instead of drily factual, it creates the opposite effect.
Cheers for this, I really enjoy the collaboration to play against the "big toys" Patrick has.

Maybe I missed it, but are there I2C or GPIO broken out for each module? I remember being really excited to the V1 Turing board in regard to the mashup potential with cluster-type things and the "Physical Computing" sensor / IO, but I didn't see anyone try to solder in those pins.
