Résumé/CV: http://zedernkind.com/werner-vornbacher/

Email: werner.vornbacher.pa21@zedernkind.com

I have 12 years of industry experience split roughly 50/50 between natural language processing (NLP) and search engine work on one hand, and general data science work on the other. I have 10 years of university education specifically in NLP culminating in a Ph.D. from the University of Cambridge and a position as casual lecturer on machine learning at another university.

I mostly work on projects that involve:

* natural language processing

* mathematical modelling & data fitting

* visualization

* creation of dashboards & reporting infrastructure

For my next career move I'm trying to get in on the ground floor of a truly early-stage venture. The stage I'm looking for is so early that, frankly, you shouldn't contact me if the thought of giving me more than 30% equity in your company makes you uncomfortable. I have a bit of cash runway, so I wouldn't initially require cash compensation, and could even put up some cash.

In addition to being an NLP expert, I also try to be a generalist and all-round useful person to have around a small business. Admin stuff like bookkeeping, banking, interfacing with public administration etc. are all things that I have been routinely doing for the last 10 years for my own one-person legal entity. I'd be perfectly happy to help out with such things on behalf of any early-stage venture that I might get involved with.

You're very welcome to contact me, even if you just want to have a noncommittal chat or be sociable.

You're not welcome to contact me, if you're looking to "make a hire" wherein you seek to establish yourself as my next "boss". I don't want nor need a next boss in my life but a business associate to collaborate with at eye level.
Samba is SO SLOW in Mac as well. My gigabit local ethernet connection is somehow slower than my internet connection. Anyone have suggestions of what to use besides SMB?
Why? Is it some kind of human right to endanger others with reckless driving?
I wouldnt say outrageous but its pretty audacious to actually program in law breaking behavior. I would imagine this would instantly expose the company to liability?
> The night example looks to be specifically stacked against autopilot.

I would argue so is the real world.
Have a good day as well!
This is a great take -- well said!
> People you like would have signed profiles that tell you where they publish so that you can subscribe. You can follow their interest graph but use your own algorithm to filter and rank content.

Solving custody and permissions issues in a scalable way hasn't really been doable here, not in a way that isn't massively out-performed by The Platforms. I believe the semantic web makes sense for this, but people have demonstrated that privacy, and positive vs negative externalities concerning data, aren't as important as core functionality.

Another thing to consider is that content is fairly commodity compared to being apart of the reaction to that content. Configuring your own web to allow for this is a lot more work - the Facebooks curate this for you, as a matter of engagement.

I love your comment though, this is where my thoughts have been for a while now. If people could serve, or have served, their own interest graph and activity, that would be the basis for a lot of interesting things, including qualifying organic activity, and real sentiment.
Yes, his response template is way too verbose.
Oh dear - that makes the title a bit clickbaity.

I wondered what vfs_fruit was.

https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/current/man-html/vfs_fruit....

I've never had to tangle with (OSX or Apple) and Samba, which explains my ignorance.

It's not clear whether you have to actually use the driver, or whether the vuln is exposed simply by mentioning it in a config file.
Fixed it for you.
The Internet is usually not presented to you in real-time in 3rd normalized form. There are times when you can control the data sources, but many times you will be presented with data in real time, and you cannot spend the time to normalize everything.

A lot depends on the data you have, and the data you anticipate. If you have well-controlled data sources, sure, 3rd normalized form and tables with JOINs.

But sometimes you have to deal with the data you're handed. Denormalized and only, at best, semi-structured. Then it's time for NoSQL.

i.e., choose the right tool for the data you have and the queries you need. Don't try to force-fit the data to a tool just because you're used to it.

Analogy: use a hammer for a nail, and a screwdriver for screws.
Saying natural immunity is best is really not smart. This means that you must get sick to acquire it and possibly really sick. This is exactly what vaccines are trying to avoid.

In principle it is smart to prime your immune system with a vaccine. Then if you get still sick, you will mostly gain benefits from natural immunity.

There are still risks involved because instead of single protein in fixed configuration you will get 29 of them in bioactive forms but at least you have greatly reduced your risk.

'Recall' is not the correct word, even if it is officially what NHTSA uses. This is an 'option' in a 'beta' version that applies below 5mph. The recall is just an OTA update in a few days.

Ah I stuffed up, the parent comment said play to win, which sounds like how games should be?
It is neither obvious, nor possible. There are zero real world drivers that actually follow all the laws. Do you think that people are just all bad? Or is there maybe a higher level principle at play here?
Planning Algorithms – Steven M. LaValle [pdf]
The human behavior here (slow rolling stop signs) at least in theory can prevent being rear-ended by someone who is used to everyone else in the area doing that (of course it's the rear-ender's fault in a crash... but still an annoyance for everyone involved)

There's no benefit to the computer swerving in and out of the lane like a drunk driver, or taking an intentionally inefficient route like a crooked taxi driver, or other pure-downside criminality.

> this is an unnecessarily negative comment but astrophysicists get too much credit because of their cool sounding title.

I thought it was the oldest joke in the book that at the start of the academic year, physicists pronounce to all and sundry they're superior to all non-physicists. They then they spend the rest of the academic year fighting over what the most superior branch of physics is.

As they say, the best jokes have an element of truth to them...

I use the terms 'schema-on-read' vs 'schema-on-write'. But that might be too techy for some folks, even if I'm talking to 'database' people...?
I had them before the pandemic, but I've seen them in stock quite regularly. Zoro appears to have my 3M 7503 half-face piece and 2297 filters in stock right now. For welding you might want a proper vapor filter though (60921?). 3M has some nice pdfs that list all the different options.

For pandemic usage when I need to filter my exhale, I disabled the check valves by popping the mask apart, removing all 3 valve flaps, and sealing up the output hole. This makes air flow through the filters bidirectionally. I've also seen a 3d-printed adapter for the 6100 series (I think) that attaches a third filter to the output. Separate input and output filters is probably a better way to go.
Paramedic here. Have been called to more than one MVA where your regular sedan has successfully "climbed" a 20" vertical concrete raised center of a roundabout. Energy and inertia is a powerful thing!
Building cables across the ocean raises much more demanding engineering problems but much less demanding political problems than building them across multiple states. You don't have to please a bunch of different regional governments and land owners when you're building across the ocean. If you have a government that can dictate national projects like in China you can build long cables over land even faster, but that political alternative also comes with its own problems (to put it mildly).
The account got caught in a spam filter. I've fixed that now.
They don't. This is why stocks like TSLA should NOT be subject to quarterly earnings reports, they should be subject to quarterly safety reports instead and earnings should not be public for a long period of time.

> In Europe I find myself frequently leaned forward and looking up at the traffic light to see it at all.

Yeah that's exactly the issue I meant. I've never seen anything else though, so I don't know if it's better or worse. Just that the person I was replying to said they were sometimes confused by the US system.

I guess my approach to all this is to not drive as much and especially not much while in cities where there are traffic lights .. and public transport options. But if you've moved to the USA I suppose that's probably just not an option for you :/

I started a go project to create a link aggregator similar to HN and old reddit, but built on top of ActivityPub.

It's targeted at small to medium communities, but at the same time it can reach outward through the federation mechanism that ActivityPub provides. Outside of immediate support to intercommunicate with other instances of its own platform, it will handle interactions from the larger fediverse at large: Mastodon, Pleroma, Pixelfed, etc.

Currently this is a one man project, namely me, and I would welcome support in any area that people could help: development, design, documentation, graphics, copy, etc.

The project can be found at https://github.com/mariusor/go-littr, and if anyone is interested there is a mailing list where people can get in touch: https://lists.sr.ht/~mariusor/activitypub-go

Some details about the project can be found on its wiki: https://man.sr.ht/~mariusor/go-activitypub/brutalinks/index....

Lost revenue most likely.
You should read Karl Popper's Conjectures and Refutations.

You can be open to new evidence defining what objective truth is without dismissing the existence of objective truth due to unknown unknowns.
My understanding is that the fallacy is cherry-picking a few data points that are easy to measure and then claiming that these are the most important data points, and then optimizing execution for moving them in the "right" direction.
This is described in the metaphor of "searching under the streetlight".
The key to this con is to act confident and to challenge any objections as lacking supporting data.
>These specs and the chipsets that are implementing them seem to be deeply maddening

Oh yes. Much to the frustration of even the phone OEMs. Hopefully WiFi is easier to handle than 5G lol
Because you aren't paying for that level of software. NASA paid $1,000 per line of code for the shuttle's avionics software[1] to get it as bug free as possible. If you want that level of perfection, then you won't be getting current commercial software prices.

I'm a avid rocksteady listener. Visited many old ska, rocksteady and roots festivals and concerts. I love the old stuff.

But it is ignorant and dismissive to place anything after an arbitrary date under the label "not decent". Plenty of wonderful stuff.

I'm certain you'll agree that for example Lee Scratch Perry produced wonderful music until the day of his death (August 2021). What he did with The Upsetters is magic. But even the albums he made in the months before his death are far more than "decent".
I'd argue that it does matter, however it's incredibly difficult to measure "quality" of a software project, so there's no real way to distinguish crappy software engineers from good ones. Even people with 15+ years of experience have often just been delivering dogshit for 15+ years.

I completely agree with you. Every single job offer I have received has come through direct listings from the company itself.

Safe to say the quality of tech recruiters in New Zealand is even lower than those elsewhere.
Putting it in the vfs objects = list causes the module to be loaded, so enabling the vulnerability.

We may be violently agreeing here; what is bad is the idea that someone can get a job because they know someone else, over a more qualified candidate who doesn't know that person already. We agree this is bad, yes?

Our industry is uniquely, as in above-replacement-industry, plagued by a diversity problem, and I'm asserting the practice among those in power of favoring relatives, friends, or even friends of friends over other, more qualified candidates is a contributing factor to that diversity problem.

It is not guaranteed that this always happens, but I am asserting it often is (as evinced by the "lack of interview" or "going by reputation only" as reputation is rife with bias), and that is a bad thing.
the value the js community gets from `fetch` being a unified standard is far, far greater than the benefit you as a developer would get from not having to add 15 extra LOC around `fetch`, that you'll probably hide behind a `fetchJSON` function anyway.

> it uses up 3-5% CPU while doing nothing

This is meaningless without context, as editors typically run indexing processes in the background. I used to use $beloved_native_editor, which in some cases ran at 100% single-thread for extended amounts of time (due to indexing).

> It takes an age to load. It uses heaps of RAM with no projects open [...] I have never seen a single use of it where it doesn't use an extraordinary amount of RAM

I've taken some real-world measurements, with the disclaimer there is no universal interpretation of measuring memory:

> Private + Shared = RAM used
>
> 8.9 MiB + 9.1 MiB = 18.0 MiB
> 17.0 MiB + 17.3 MiB = 34.3 MiB
> 119.2 MiB + 149.4 MiB = 268.6 MiB
> ---------------------------------
> 321.0 MiB
> =================================

> Private + Shared = RAM used
>
> 332.1 MiB + 519.2 MiB = 851.3 MiB
> ---------------------------------
> 851.3 MiB
> =================================

> Private + Shared = RAM used

> 124.0 KiB + 176.0 KiB = 300.0 KiB
> 1.1 MiB + 1.1 MiB = 2.1 MiB
> 95.5 MiB + 200.2 MiB = 295.6 MiB
> 1.3 GiB + 1.3 GiB = 2.5 GiB

I use Google Voice as 2FA for institutions that require SMS, and also backup TOTP tokens on a couple USB drives (it’s part of my routine backup checklist I do twice a year). So far haven’t had any problem even when devices failed or when I was abroad without phone coverage.
The companies paying in the BigTech compensation range don’t care about what languages or tools you are using.

The same recruiters see I work for BigTech and they are still sending me “exciting opportunities for .Net leads paying up to $150K”.

It depends what you mean by a lot.

It's a lot, but is it rich (in the US)? No.

According to several surveys held in the US, around $2.5M was what most considered enough to be considered wealthy. However, with recent inflation, that figure has probably increased.

Btw the minimum amount needed to be included in the top 1% of household net worth in the US is $11,099,166.

E-Sports has a terrible problem with this, and many organizations are solely supported by gambling site sponsors.

Kudos to Riot for outlawing the practice with League of Legends. I wish Valve would do the same.

Why can't you use TypeScript with node? It's not built in, but it's easy enough to use by building or running it with ts-node. Also, once you are using TypeScript, you have import syntax support. Deno has chosen a different path, but there are definite trade-offs.

In my experience in Colorado, the right lane is usually empty and it's often easier to go faster than traffic in the right lane (at least on sections of freeway without exits close together). The left lane is usually traveling at least 20mph faster than the limit (on I-25 anyway). 85mph in a 65mph zone is the norm.
