University of Chicago, Humanities Division | Software Engineer | Chicago or Remote USA | Full Time

The Humanities Division at the University of Chicago is looking for an engineer to build and maintain software for administrative web applications & misc faculty research projects.

We are a small (4-6 people) in-house software and support team that operates the entire stack (from the hardware up) and has long term personal relationships with our users. You'll get to make things that people you know use to make it easier to do their jobs. Because the team is small there is a variety of tasks (security, automated testing & deployment, performance tuning) so you won't be sitting in front of a ticket queue answering the same question all day.

Our stack is presently Ember.js / Ruby on Rails / Postgres / Ansible / Ubuntu and this position would have a significant role in making future choices in technology direction.

This is a full time position with excellent work/life balance (~37.5 hours, Central time zone, 6+ weeks of PTO/holidays). A nearly private office in Chicago is available (not cubicles/open plan) and hybrid or fully remote (USA) options are available.

Application & more details at:
https://hum.uchicago.edu/software-engineer (or search for JR12754 at https://jobopportunities.uchicago.edu) and questions can be sent to my HN username @uchicago.edu

The University of Chicago is an Affirmative Action / Equal Opportunity / Disabled / Veterans Employer.
Reintroducing border control would be a good 1st step. But gods forbid movement of „goods“ is endangered :)
Yeah, but imagine if you had that fear – or really, just the annoying worry – going into every potential cofounder. It would be exhausting, and I imagine that's why fewer women opt for the process at all.

Loved the shed.
The central parts involving the Zone were filmed in and around Tallinn, Estonia [1, 2].

EDIT: Ugh, looks like some people may have died because of the lengthy filming sessions near a chemical plant. Wikipedia quotes one of the crew members [3]:

"We were shooting near Tallinn in the area around the small river Jägala with a half-functioning hydroelectric station. Up the river was a chemical plant and it poured out poisonous liquids downstream. There is even this shot in Stalker: snow falling in the summer and white foam floating down the river. In fact it was some horrible poison. Many women in our crew got allergic reactions on their faces. Tarkovsky died from cancer of the right bronchial tube. And Tolya Solonitsyn too. That it was all connected to the location shooting for Stalker became clear to me when Larisa Tarkovskaya died from the same illness in Paris."

You do realize that this is exactly what woke cancel culture does right? It cherry picks something offensive that someone said and then cancels the entire person.
The E-Myth (Revisited?) is a book that suffers badly from having page after page of sentimental drivel, padding it out significantly.

The core message is quite insightful and worth knowing, but the author doesn’t respect the readers time.

Edit: some book notes from Derek Sivers-

It’s like a modern open world video game in book form.
Ah, but is that hi-fi audio-grade RAM you're using?
So glad you explored it all the way down!! You might find some more Easter eggs here and there ;)

I absolutely love ebiten, it's gotten me back into game development which was why I initially got into software dev. I've been working through the Game Programming Patterns book and it's been an awesome platform to learn some of the common patterns in game dev. Also the maintainer is incredibly active and constantly pushing the development forward. I'm currently working on a side-scroller and am really excited to see if I can get it running on the switch.
I think it will be hard to create a great a search engine while the web works as it does today. Maybe there could be like a sitemap but for text content that has the content structured, indexed, and signed by a trusted party in a way that makes it easy to analyze for plagiarism and so on.

Thank you for your reference to that link. Having now seen it I do recall that controversy albeit not in that level of detail (such work isn't my profession).

I know from practical experience that most of the points Fischer et al have made are often valid or the case including those about producing 'tailored' results for a specific target audience. Often one comes across most of them in one's own work and it's usually when one is tying to figure out whether one's actually deluding oneself given, say, that a set of results looks too good. Alternatively, one may have a dataset that's full of garbage and not yet realized it.

Then there are always those cases where most of the data fits within the expected distribution except for some wayward measurement or two, which if included, would throw the stats and make the overall experiential results look less precise. What does one do, ditch out the odd/atypical results or rerun the whole experiment again in the hope that those large wayward deviations don't reappear? Anyone who has done experiments is overly familiar with the problems of processing experiential data—as they say, they're just part of the territory.

Clearly, I've no hands-on expertise in Mendel's work so I can only make general comment which is that as Mendel is no longer around to defend himself or his work, as such we must be particularly careful about accusing him of doing something of which he may not have done. From that Wiki, despite the controversy, it seems that the passage of time has meant that Mendel's work seems to have been examined with reasonable rigor and care given that it's been re-examined and reanalyzed on multiple occasions by different personnel. In the absence of better and more accurate data there's little more we could reasonably do.

I suppose I'm overly sensitive to accusations of fraud because of an incident that happened eons ago back in my student days. This was when a chemistry tutor blatantly accused me of cheating in my write-up of an experiment and he did so in the presence of other students. What he objected to was that my experimental results (dataset) of a titration were too good to be true and that I'd worked back and substituted data from the theoretical/ideal model.

This wasn't the case at all as I had recorded the titration's dataset exactly as I'd measured it. Needless to say, I was furious at his unfounded accusation and I demanded that he say back over lunchtime and watch me whilst I reran the experiment, this he did. The results I obtained on the rerun were just marginally better than my first attempt.

I lay no claim to being an experiential genius—absolutely far from it. I'll just say this: some people are intrinsically much better at experimental work than are others and those who doubt their results are perhaps basing their doubt on their own less-than-optimal performance. That said, one's always right to doubt any claim or sets of results until they're independently verified.
> You can launch shit software, as long as its just not-shitty enough to lock-in a few lucrative clients early on. This validates your idea and allows you to hire the "good" engineers to build the """good""" software, or at least more scalable version, going forward.

In my decade and a half of software engineering experience, this has happened exactly once - we cobbled together something to validate a concept, then completely fucking scrapped it and built it from scratch.

I honestly don't know if it'll ever happen to me in my lifetime, and I wouldn't bet on it. Supporting the "shit software" for the lifetime of the business isn't something I'd want to do.
SmarterDx | Lead Engineer | REMOTE (or NYC) | FT | https://www.smarterdx.com

U.S. health care organizations spent over $500 billion on revenue cycle in 2021 alone (generating receipts, bookkeeping, and getting paid / allocating payments). That's $500 billion that contributes zero value to patient care, education, research, or operations.

Most of that spending is on manual processing. We are a new company that aims to automate large portions of health care revenue cycle, starting with a niche area in physician documentation.

Although we are early (admittedly our website, etc. needs much work), we have bootstrapped to >$500K in revenue with zero capital expenses to date. We've demonstrated incredible marginal value against incumbent market leaders and are poised to grow quickly.

Our current stack is React, Next.js, GraphQL, Python, on AWS.

Salary + significant equity is available.

We're hiring for:

* Backend / Infrastructure Engineer

* Product Engineer / Full Stack Developer

* Frontend Engineer

* Business Development

Please reach out to mike (at) smarterdx (dot) com for a ten minute conversation!
What a ridiculous thing to write. If recruiters actually think like this it'd be horrifying.
Very wise. "It's Faith I don't have to explain shit" truer words were never spoken by Christ.

> A foundational book like Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain is a good jump start if it is important for your ego to see quick feedback

I completely and unequivocally disagree. This is one of the most misleading books IMO. It gets you to the point where you can draw and feel pretty good about it. It’s easy to verify how people are deluded by this book - the litmus test is as follows: Ask them to draw the same thing but now from a different perspective, say rotate the object about some axis by 30 degrees. They’ll fail. The way to learn drawing, if you want to be taken seriously is to internalize the 3D geometry and be able to modify it without much struggle. This is why good teachers start with basic shapes such as Cube and Cones. I would strongly discourage anyone from using this book unless you’re doing it for fun and as a hobby.

There are many good sources, search for Sycra on YT or take a course from Jeffrey Watts on basics of drawing.

xkcd take on this that still cracks me up:

https://xkcd.com/635/
Yeah, but standard pico usb is slow (it has usb 1.1 with 12Mbit/s or even 1.5Mbit/s). BUT you could add separate usb 2.0 phy, but AFAIK it would have to share some pins with that ethernet phy, but still doable.
Don't forget the incident when just running Windows on your MacBook could damage the speakers.

Or more recently the 2019 MBP where plugging in the charger on the left side of the machine would cause it to thermal throttle whereas the right side was fine.
1. During the pandemic, consumer durables went from ~10-11% of consumption to ~13%. 3 percentage points of consumption is about half a trillion dollars annually. Many of these durables come with cheap microcontrollers or even high end SoCs now. New vehicles have dozens of cheap microcontrollers. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/graph/fredgraph.png?g=Ktkq

2. If you look at that chart, you will see that the decade previous to the pandemic was the worst ever for durable goods demand. Supply chains had adjusted to that.

3. Supply chains had also all gone to a JIT model to keep inventories lower. This was a huge source of efficiencies, but made them vulnerable to a demand shock.

4. There are new sources of chip demand in EVs.

5. There are new sources of chip demand for very cheap ARM and RISC-V chips. High volume, low margin stuff that has been underinvested for manufacturing, like the entire auto chip chain.

6. 2019 was a down cycle, and companies were idling capacity.

7. When the pandemic hit, companies projected lower demand, and idled more capacity. This put them in a huge hole from which they still have not extricated themselves.

8. COVID outbreaks in Asian factories complicate things

9. Transportation bottlenecks complicate things
Thats true, but probably something that can be tackled later and in any case it would not be a show-stopper for creating a valuable alternative (There are similar thorny related issues around IP e.g. for news sites)
Did Dr. Malone use the word “Nazi?” Or is that getting planted to bias people reading the headline and the lede of the article?

https://odysee.com/@altmedia96:2/dr-robert-malone-joe-rogan-...
Could you link to some of the stuff that you are mentioning, maybe an interesting article if you remember one offhand? I think what you are saying is controversial due to the other child comments, which is intriguing because I think what you are saying is interesting and I am hoping you might point me to a larger discussion on the topic.
Being able to flag Fandom, Quora, and Pinterest results would bring me great joy.
But you did say this:

> Putting a computer between my foot/hands and the physics unfolding in front of me is a total non-starter.

Which ABS does, there's literally a computer in between your inputs and the 'physics'. So which is it? There was a time when ABS was not considered a simple problem. They had to invent it for the Concorde.

> You can typically disable these pretty easily (pull fuse/drive system configure).

If they did catastrophically malfunction, you wouldn't have time to pull fuses.
Mercedes-Benz unveils 1k km-per-charge VISION EQXX prototype
I guess my underlying question is whether or not some areas of research should just be absolutely off-limits.

MKUltra, for example. Other human experimentation.

What if a physicist discovered the math to create black holes and wanted to test it; could any theoretical benefit be worth the known risk? Maybe it can be justified if the experiment is done in deep space, far from earth. Perhaps the same is true of gain of function, it should be studied on a moon facility instead of in or near a densely populated city?

On the other hand, the highest form of safety is not doing it in the first place, which happens to be cheap compared to a moon base.
>Tarkovsky was an Orthodox Christian, but his ideas about the irreducibility of experience parallel Zen

Let's add that this is not by chance: the irreducibility of experience (especially divine experience) is a core motive of Orthodox Christianity as well (which also has a long tradition of mystics).
> I think the best method is finding a good community to start from. As I alluded to, YC matching has not done this for me.

My glean from the article was that Cambrian has a group for this, but they seem to be focused on fintech -- do you know if there's a similar high-quality community for biotech?
Fundamentally it is about GUI toolkits and design, and those get chucked for fashion yearly now.

It used to be five year cycles, but now with the web toolkit du jour and constant web "standards" churn, it happens even faster.

And that's without the hipster "design" fads like material design and flat design and all that jazz.

UIs are a variant of the halting problem: unlike a lot of fixed input/output systems like CLIs and other things that programmers love, any non-trivial UI will rapidly cycle out of control in terms of making a good testability, and that's for code that is fundamentally a lot more difficult to get up and running for even the base use cases.

HTML in the beginning attempted to solve that with its simple forms. Well, those got chucked out for ... whatever it is we have now. I'm not saying that the HTML basic form wasn't flawed, but for the standards bodies after five major revisions to the HTML standard to not do anything and basically just say "here's CSS and javascript if you want validation or multiple buttons or anything that powerbuilder had back in 1990" well, that's an industry failure too.

It seriously flabbergasts me that we had powerbuilder and a lot of the VB stuff cranking out pretty sophisticated interfaces on 486s and pentiums and we are still spinning our wheels 30 years later with 100-1000x the computational firepower.
Aquabyte | Remote (SF, NYC) and Norway | Full Time | Data Science, MechE, Embedded, Procurement, ML, AI, Computer Vision, Product, https://jobs.lever.co/aquabyte/

Aquabyte (https://www.aquabyte.ai, backed by NEA and Costanoa, top tier investors) is on a mission to revolutionize the ocean sustainability and efficiency of aquaculture. It is an audacious, and incredibly rewarding mission. By making fish farming cheaper and more viable than livestock production, we aim to mitigate one of the biggest causes of climate change and help prepare our planet for impending population growth. Aquaculture is the single fastest growing food-production sector in the world, and now is the time to define how technology is used to harvest the ocean for generations to come.

Through custom underwater cameras, computer vision, and machine learning we are able to quantify fish weights, detect sea lice infestations, and generate optimal feeding plans in real time. Our product operates at three levels: on-site hardware for image capture, cloud pipelines for data processing, and a user-facing web application. As a result, there are hundreds of moving pieces and no shortage of fascinating challenges across all levels of the stack.

I'm an AI dungeon subscriber, and what I like about it is that it reacts to whatever I can think of to say. If it was mostly predefined options, I'd probably not be interested in it: there are plenty of interactive fiction games already, and they're crafted by humans and generally better-written than what AID could ever come up with. Personally, I enjoy the looseness, how you have to kind of hold the AI's hand and steer the scene yourself. I doubt I'm representative of most people, but I think the number of people who would pay for a CYOA text adventure game is pretty low anyway. Latitude might as well stick with weirdos like me for awhile, and pray that the overhead costs come down.
Over 140k gaming firms close as China continues new license freeze
Testimonies from escapees tend to show they sort of believed at least the negative propaganda about the south, western countries, and China. Not so much the godlike powers of the leadership.
