I have to say Flexport was a extremely poor hiring experience that I went through. I'll give the benefit of the doubt and say I was just unlucky. Each technical interview was very condescending with no communication or feedback from the interviewer. The interviewer in my first screen even made a mistake on their own code, clearly lacking basic syntax knowledge of the language we were using, despite expecting perfect syntax answer to a basic algo question. The interviewer just struck me as very junior in their skillset, and made me a bit concerned about the hiring process overall. The other interviewer was very happy to tell me that Flexport only hires the best engineers, to be honest, it was difficult for me to keep a straight face when he said that. Now I know what hiring for a 10x rock star engineer looks like, lmao
Do you guys need cost effective and accurate ASR for noisy data
I am working and have developed a light weight Automatic Speech Recognition that currently work decent on noisy data e.g. noisy call center audio recording. Based on my initial testing we outperform all ASR API provider by quite a significant margin. The current model has been trained on English (Indian accent) and Hindi language. I can train it on USA accent data as well. Given light weight nature of the ASR, we are quite cost effective and thus pass on this benefit to our customers. I wanted to know developers who are using any 3rd party ASR solution, what are you using ASR service for? What is the average usage for ASR service look for you? And how much are you roughly paying for such service.

Write it in Java. Use nothing but the libraries that comes with Java unless you absolutely have to. Use Swing for the layout.

It is not sexy, but without heavy libraries and enterprise patterns, Java programs are surprisingly small and pretty fast. Development is well supported in all IDEs, any question you could have has a stack overflow answer, and it is, of course, cross platform.

Alternatively download Lazarus and free pascal.

Not sure about derivatives, but an integrator is just a rotating disk with a ball on it, both spherical. The ball rolls over the disk from friction, and the spinning is the magnitude of the output integral. The input function is the position of the ball relative to the center of the disk.

If the ball is at the center of the disk it doesn't move, if it moves positive the ball spins up, if it moves negative the ball spins down. The overall rotation of the ball is essentially the integral. You can also do almost this to make multipliers by varying the speed of the disk. These mechanical computers were used until the mid 1900s.
Libertarianism for Me, but Not for Thee
Explain it like I'm five? :(
Agree. IA-64 or IA64 is the short form for Itanium not any form of x86.

Assembly languages:
AT&T form starting on early Unix PDP/VAX systems and later SVR4 Unix as well as gas assemblers.

Intel form derived from 8080/5/6/8 and 8051 line as well as Zilog z80 line including assemblers such as Microsoft MASM.

IBM would have a couple assembler products for their mainframe lines likely supporting code written as far back as 1965.

Some obsoleted assemblies were a bit in-between as I recall Mac 68k assemblers being neither one nor the other.

Several embedded platforms have idiosyncratic assembly variants as well.

I doubt she legally gets to keep all of it. In theory she probably cannot keep any, but if it's sufficiently hidden or already spent or given away it may be impossible to recover.

It's interesting to note, how all these "Competition is Good for the Business(tm)" folks, in reality, do not want any competition, at all.
I mean, even a full time (40 hour work week) job is 24 % of your time.

If this person spends 10 % of their time just on maintenance and bug fixes, I'd assume they spend just as much on marketing, customer service, etc, meaning they "work" for 20 % of their time -- which is almost a full time job at that point.
The Ozy Media guy seems similar enough. Blatantly lying to investors about the current facts of the business to extract money from them.

This is trivially false. From the linked article:

"When Theranos' machines were rolled out to Walgreens stores in California and Arizona, they gave patients false or flawed results. One patient testified that she was led to believe she was having a miscarriage after taking a Theranos test, when indeed her pregnancy was viable. Another patient thought her cancer had returned when it had not, following a test. But in the end, jurors did not believe that Holmes intentionally deceived patients."

These examples by themselves are clear instances of harm. However, it's not unlikely that more patients were affected and perhaps even some of them took actions that were harmful to their health based on this false data.

The hypothesis is that it could have originated in a different country and was only identified after it arrived in South Africa.
The sample distribution of viruses is incredibly important for this sort of analysis, and much of the argument here only makes sense through the lens of uniform virus sequencing. If you have imbalanced sequencing and imbalanced transmission you can also explain these differences.

The important thing is that mutations occur at a certain rate per virus per unit time. If you have an isolated population that's sequenced infrequently then (1) that strain will appear to evolve more slowly as there's a smaller population capable of mutating, and (2) once that strain is sequenced it's going to look far from what you've seen already since you haven't been tracking the intermediate mutations in this population.

The S/N ratio can be analyzed in terms of a random walk in high dimension. Variance in these walks grows over time (in terms of distance from origin, i.e. number of mutations), so the discrepancy doesn't seem super far from what's plausible under the null hypothesis. Perhaps someone can do the math on that.

The hypothesis merits further investigation, but the strength of the evidence presented here really requires some complex statistical analysis to determine if innocuous explanations fit. The analysis is far more complex than I would expect an epidemiologist or virologist to apply in the course of their work.

No, no, no. I see this all the time around Theranos ("Hey, there are lots of other fake-it-til-you-make-it companies out there, Theranos just went to extremes"), and I don't think it's accurate, at all.

The line around fraud is really not that gray. If you're lying about current facts for personal gain, that's fraud. You can hype all you want about the future, and most VCs are actually fine with you selling them the "yeah, it's hamster wheels in the backend now, but just wait until we build out our tech and scale!" line (just see all the well funded "AI" startups that just have legions of people "training" the AI), but if you say that it's the whizbang tech right now, but it's really just hamster wheels, that's fraud.

Fraud is not just an extension of "aggressive selling".

Do you have a link for that? I can't tell if this is hyperbole or not.

I think this can be done in a straight-forward brute force manner.

Consider the first 7 primes [2,3,5,7,11,13,17]. Each of these primes defines a "sieves", that can be used to filter out multiples of it. For instance, 2 defines the sieve [0,2,4,6,...] while 17 defines the sieve [0,17,34,...].

Instead of infinite sieves, consider only the finite sieves that go up to 100. for instance, 17 would give the sieve [0,17,34,...,85]. Over any interval of 100 integers, all multiples of p can be filtered out by filtering out the contents of p's finite sieve with some constant offset (<p).

For instance, on the interval [0,100), we can filter out all multiples of 3 by filtering out the sieve [0,3,6,...,99]. Similarly, on the interval [10,110), we can filter out the multiples of 3 using the sieve [2,5,8,...98].

The notation here is a bit backward, but makes sense if you think of the sieve as a bit-field with 100 elements labeled 0 to 99. The sieve [2,5,8,...98] then represents the bitfield where every third element is true, starting with the second element.

As a notional shorthand, we can represent this sieve as [3]+2, to represent all multiples of 3, with an offset of 2 (within the range [0,100). Formally speaking: [p]+k = [p * n + k | for integers n,k where 0 <= p * n + k < 100]

For sieves X,Y define X | Y to be the union of X and Y. Under the bitfield interpenetration, a bit in X | Y is set if it is set in either X or Y.

For every range of 100 integers, there exists a sieve that filters out all multiples of both p and q. This sieve takes the form: [p] + k | [q] + m.

We can further restrict 0<=k<p and 0<=m<q.

Note that there are only finitely many such sieves. Over any sequence of 100 integers, one of those finitely many sieves will filter out all multiples of p and q.

This approach can be extend to any number of primes.

Construct all such sieves for the primes [2,3,5,7,11,13,17]. For each sieve, count how many elements it allows through, and find the sieve which allows the fewest elements through. This is an upper bound of the number of integers within a range of 100 that are not a multiple of the first 7 primes. Assuming your range of integers starts at at least 18, this is an upper bound on the number of primes it can have.

In python:

primes=[2,3,5,7,11,13,17]
sieves=[set()]
for p in primes:
newSieves=[]
for k in range(0,p):
toAppend = set([ k + pp for pp in range(0,100,p) if k + pp <= 100])
for sieve in sieves:
newSieves.append(sieve | toAppend)
sieves = newSieves

print "\n{}:".format(p)
print 100-min([len(s) for s in sieves])

One option is to trust on first use, checksum the installation script and at least casually verify the diff each time the checksum changes[1].

Pros:

- Protects against simple hijacking.

- Reproducible as long as the installer doesn't also call out to a moving target, such as example.com/releases/latest.

Cons:

- Build breaks as soon as the installer is bumped. If it's bumped often (or just before an important release) this can cause pain.

- TOFU may not be acceptable, but of course you could review the code thoroughly before even the first use.

- The review of each version could be non-trivial. Usually installers are pretty simple and stable though, YMMV.

Here in school we learn that the chance to get actually caught is the primary deterrent and second the weight of the sentence in either monetary terms or time served.

Because people are bad at estimating low probability and high outcome expected values. If you are old you might even not deterred at all by a very long sentence if there is only a small chance that you actually both get caught and have to serve the time.
> Does multiple counts served concurrently mean that the effective sentence is just the longest individual sentence?

Generally, yes.

If her sentence is high she might not classify as minimum security (prison camp) and might have to serve some years at a medium before being moved.

Remember, federal prison sentences are generally "85%" which means you can get 15% off your sentence for good behavior. Almost every prisoner will get the maximum 15%.

I didn't read the indictment. Are her offenses nonprobationable? Usually non-violent offenses are probationable for first-time offenders.

Yeah, I have an issue with the term ABI - application binary interface. It is misleading because if it were really a binary interface, you could interoperate with code compiled in other languages. But you cannot do this in C++.

C++ doesn't have an ABI. It just pretends to have one.
Appreciate your take on this. Those of us who wince at spending time in the Social Mess Halls may be inclined to build our personal curios in dusty corners of the net, content with a dozen views a month, but that does not serve as a rebellion to the problems in tech. There must be some better way we can think as groups of people, on necessarily large platforms. Something better than Dorsey and Zuck have managed to build.

I am very concerned about the metaverse trend, it's like people watched the Matrix and thought "yeah, let me plug into the machine and not deal with real life" and didn't catch the moral of Ready Player One, "Real Life is the only thing thats Real", but were sold on the nostalgia orgasm of having Jurrasic Park and Back to the Future in the same game.
