Autodesk - Senior Technical Consultant (Full-Stack Dev) | REMOTE (US) | Full-time | www.autodesk.com

Autodesk makes it possible to design the world. We have products likes AutoCAD, Inventor, Fusion360, Revit, Civil3D, 3ds Max, Maya, Recap...basically, if something needs to be designed in 3D, we probably have a software product for it.

I'm on the consulting team, where we design and write custom software to help the largest Architecture, Engineering, and Construction companies in the world use our products. Right now, we're looking for people with web experience, to help build solutions targeting our Forge APIs. .NET and React experience is preferred, though we do use other technologies as well.

We build lots of short projects (probably an average length of 3 months, with 2-6 projects at a time). Often this will include talking to stakeholders, designing a solution, writing the code, then helping the customer to deploy the solution in their environment. There's a lot of autonomy in your day to day work, with a good support structure of project managers and account teams to let you focus on actual work, not busy work.

If you have experience with the AEC industry, that's a plus.

Feel free to reach out to me at daniel@clayson.io if you'd like to learn more and get a referral link, or you can see the full description and apply here: https://autodesk.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/Ext/details/Sen...

Compensation is negotiable. The official target base pay is $127,000.
Outside of swinger bars, the culture of hitting on people at bars is dead, at least in the PNW.

Swinger bars it's still around, but partly because they're less of a sausage fest due to the crazy door fees for men...
Probably doesn't matter much with only a few networks, but this is using the wrong data structure:

if let Some(net) = ip_nets.load()
.iter()
.find(|net| net.contains(&addr.ip()))

ip_nets is a 'HashSet<IpNet>' but it should be a radix/patricia tree.

Something like https://lib.rs/crates/iprange
Typically, you can use commutators (and the derived series) to solve these sorts of puzzles.
> The title of this post is indeed my email address (I also used to be Brendan@Sun.com).

The blog post title is "Brendan@Intel.com." HN formatting ruined a little bit of the fun of the blog post. :)
I have my preference, but I wasn't sure which way the responses would go.
Yeah, I guess it is sort of a personal ad to put all those account links in the middle of my post. I meant it as an illustration of how fractured our online identities are.

Also as a joke about how noisy the internet is: Almost every website has 2-6 such icons, usually twitter, github, rss and email. I don't know how most people use the internet but my eyes just glaze over them (Which is sort of sad actually, when I read a blog I like I really should subscribe to the author directly somehow). I think expanding it out to more than 20 is funny, but I may have an idiosyncratic sense of humor here.
> I mean, yes, it's true that it would be nicer if they'd rent one instead of impose on you.

Whether they rent or borrow one, they still needed a truck.

I need mine all the time, as do most others I know. I also listed activities that people like to use them for.

> But we also build and deploy way too many of them. Those facts can be true at the same time.

How many should we allow then? Who should qualify for them? Do recreational activities not qualify? Who gets to decide this? Do we do this for other things?

You have a few options:

1. Go founder-dating:

- In your network (best place): You'll need to keep your team tight. Resist adding people specialized at a specific responsibility and aim for people who can take on *all* of the complementary skills. By the way, at 3 people you're already pretty big cofounding team imho, but up to you.

- At incubators: San Francisco is fantastic because there are lots of places like https://www.southparkcommons.com/

2. Someone effectively takes on responsibility: This is very hard. Very easy for eng to want to do eng stuff and have lots of desire to "interfere" in the tech vision because they have the skill to have opinions. You really need a clean separation of concerns and the ability to be able to let your co-founders operate their part. If you're finding that you frequently have to interfere, you guys aren't a good fit. You'll find this in the initial collab phase. Considering your founding team size, though, it's better you do this.

Background for my advice (so you can judge if it meets your standards of experience): I'm in charge of eng at a trading startup; I have 10+ close friends who founded companies currently valued between $20 m and $7 b, so I've seen their journeys; I live with 2 of them right now.

From your background, it sounds like you're in hardware (where I really know very little), but if for some reason you're thinking of a SaaS business or marketplace, then I can intro you to some guys who do seed funding in the ad tech, e-commerce, crypto space if you're in SF.
> that no one tracks and grows stale

On the contrary; since they are right next to the thing that needs work you always encounter them Just In Time. And you can just delete them really easily if you decide they're truly stale. This may not lend itself to planning or management visibility, but for a small private project I prefer them to the overhead of separate tracking.

Drifting in Space | Full-time | NYC | https://driftingin.space

We make Jamsocket (https://jamsocket.com/), which allows application developers to spin up and connect to server-side compute. This allows browser-based applications to do computationally-intensive things that are otherwise impossible in the browser.

We went through YC and just raised a seed round and are looking to build up our team. We are based in NYC but are open to remote for experience candidates.

Our tech stack includes Rust, NATS, Docker, Postgres, TypeScript. We have lots of fun technical problems that get into the nitty-gritty of networking and operating systems, plus fun open-source stuff like Aper (https://aper.dev/). We are excited to build a diverse team and encourage non-traditional candidates to apply.

I'm no fan of the mitigation of killing the throttle if somebody stomps on the brake.

If you're trying to go around corners as fast as possible in a front-wheel drive car you're going to drive with one foot on the brake and one foot on the gas and will apply the brakes and the gas at the same time.

The article also says that global variables will kill you, putting variables on the stack will kill you but doesn't say where it is safe to put variables. I can't imagine the heap is any better, that a garbage collector isn't going to pause and kill you, etc.

As an Arduino enthusiast I see statically allocated (global?) variables are frequently the way to go for an embedded system, the frontier is to be able to prove the correctness of what you're doing.
This. And if an AGI is built (unlikely in the next 100 years, IMO) by a for-profit corporation, we are dangerously, dangerously fucked.
I don't know that arguing for beginner students to learn what is basically the early version of Haskell as their intro to computing is a compelling alternative.

The basics of computing are hard enough to learn when you aren't focused on type theory, lazy vs eager evaluation, etc at the same time.
There was some speculation in the previous thread about brendangregg on where they're going next ((https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31051662)). Not a single person seems to have gotten it right :)

Caught me a bit by surprise as well, as Intel seems to have stagnated a bit as of late, but the opening paragraph seems to indicate Brendan thinks otherwise, and who am I to disagree.

I wish you luck on the new adventures, and hope you'll have tons of fun!
Perhaps so, every bit counts. But I cannot see how these problematic matters are going to be fixed unless the individuals who have the power to affect the lives of others are brought to account by one means or another.

We should know who these individuals are whether they're making decisions that are in our interests or otherwise.

As it stands now many of the individuals who've the power and who have altered our lives for good or worse by their decisions remain hidden completely anonymously behind both corporate and government bureaucracies. Anonymity, has in many instances enabled them to act without accountability and with complete impunity.

This is the crux of the problem, until these individuals know that their decisions will be gone over with a fine-toothed comb by the population at large and that they will be held accountable then nothing will change.

Both now and in the past the argument against this approach is that such scrutiny will make decision-makers ineffective in that they'll be too scared to make hard or effective decisions. This is a weasel argument argued by bureaucracies to protect themselves and to make their lives easier. There are numerous ways to protect individuals who make 'sensible' decisions from, say, an over-zealous citizenry or unreasonable shareholders who may not understand all the facts but that's for another discussion.

Change has to come because this anonymity has allowed fairness and due process to be so abused that our institutions now have an ethical crisis. It's why so few people have faith in or have respect for them anymore.
Who suggested forcing all people to become vegan?

Also, by the same logic seatbelt laws would be "resorting to fascism" because it's forcing all people to use seatbelts. It's not fascism to have laws.

> Does it make sense to give every family 0.75 acres of grass, 400 sqft of driveway and a 2 car garage

A standard suburban house doesn't sit on 0.75 acres. 0.2 is typical. Though you're probably low on the driveway and garage :).

I'd like to see a better argument for why we shouldn't live this way. There are relatively large metros (e.g. Portland) that are predominantly suburban single family homes, and so far it seems to work fine. Sure, we could compress Portland into a 10 mile by 10 mile square, but why? Would it actually make our lives better? By what metric?
Honestly, you're shooting yourself in the foot using phrases like "current shitty job" and "good little slave" publicly and attached to your name. It's unprofessional.

That's a big red flag, IMHO, justified or not, and no matter what your qualifications are, I'd move you down the hiring stack without a second thought (because I have lots of other applicants to choose from).
Does it? I picked the first professor from MIT's CSAIL group (Hal Abelson), found their latest published paper (https://www.erudit.org/en/journals/irrodl/2022-v23-n1-irrodl...) and found that they are funded by a Chinese governmental organization. Tell me how the research isn't being influenced by the needs and desires of the funder?

This was my thought as well. Merely citing the material isn’t necessarily a problem on its own.

The nature of the citation and how that impacts the paper doing the citing would need to be examined to form a meaningful opinion about Google’s behavior here.
It, for many people, works differently. If you look at people talking about their experiences, those with ADD consistently describe different effects than NT people. It's still good, but it has more of an effect on energy than focus, though the two are well correlated. It might be an overshoot/undershoot thing, it might be that different effects are salient, but I can assure you that if Adderall could do as much for a healthy person as it does for me, we'd be living in utopia.
Too late by now, but "Brendan Inside" would have been an excellent title!
I did something similar with a bot for my Minecraft server many years ago as a fun project, using markov chains as well (this was well before GPT). It certainly said some interesting things

With the huge interest generated by Wordle, our company has created a Wordle inspired game with the ability to make custom words as our co-worker posted the news here (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31106825).
As a PM, I looked at the user funnel’s data and found the following issues below; Players who comes into the game have shown interest in this type of games Puzzle Start (from Game Start) All Users => 80.1% Players come from Share => 100% But players (coming from shared links?) are dropping out of the game without completing a row One row complete (from Game Start) All users => 17.7% Players come from Share => 70% Puzzle Complete All users => 11.80% Players come from Share => 70% It seemed like the best way to make a player finish the Puzzle is to make them complete at least one row. We have come up with the following Hypothesis and test to see if our Hypothesis is correct.

Hypothesis: Increase in 1st row complete will increase Puzzle Completion rate; looking at the funnel analysis, increase rate of Puzzle completion will be similar to increase rate of 1 row Complete rate. Hint word will appeal on the first row if player does not complete the 1st row Hint word will have one letter which is in the answer but in the different location

We ran the test for about a week and got the results below: One row complete => Saw 34.2% improvement Puzzle Complete => 32.1% improvement
In the David vs Goliath battle David is incentivized to do exactly what Google is accusing this researcher of. Put out a controversial finding that supports your beliefs, regardless of whether or not it has been fully vetted. As a David you may not have the resources to fully vet the story anyways, particularly when the vetting process is defined by Goliath.

Goliath of course has as an ocean of toxic incentives to maintain the status quo, promote their own Agenda, and Gatekeep David. I understand why researchers want to work at these giant institutions. It's harder to influence the narrative if these giant institutions can operate unhindered. On top of that as you mention the press is incentivized to side with David since it's a more compelling story.

It 's part of the challenge of analyzing incentives, and means most people come to conclusions based on their prior beliefs. To come to the right conclusions you have to be able to dig deeper in the story than we have information to do so.
How much they need to sell before Square becomes Squaresoft again?
This came up several times on HN and I've been curious about it ever since, esp the opinion of researchers.

This professor, now retired, did a number of papers on this theory claiming to find evidence of sensitivity.
Scientists are pretty used to the idea of having their papers rejected. It happens all the time for all sorts of reasons. Never say never, but the likelihood that someone who's already gone through a PhD program would act out in some extreme way is low.

Usually, these terminations have more to do with "He's getting close to something untouchable" than anything else. It happens to journalists, when they do their job a bit too well, also.

Well, it seems that one is "chocolate made naturally how it has always been made" and the other is, "new sterile process for more cheap chocolate that also tastes better". We'll know if it actually does taste better when we get to try it. For now, we're being sold on the process with a promise.
I have to disagree. The tractor-builders were very competent in building 100,000 new tractors each year when operating on vastly insufficient resources with apathetic workforce; and making sure these tractors could leave the factory gates on their own. In short, they did fulfill their plan.

Would they be happier producing 10,000 tractors that would actually last, instead? Maybe. Would they be able to do that right away? No, but with some practice it could be done. Could they produce better tractors with the constraints that they had? I don't think so.

You will undoubtedly see the same pattern all over the corporate world.
Any man with experience interacting with women has seen evidence of this time and time again.

I really don't understand people who deny that women have a very strong bias for height.

I also don't understand people who object to this surgery. There is nothing wrong with women who have an innate attraction for tall men, and there is nothing wrong with men who want to be attractive to those women.

That is just the reality of the world. Don't hate the players - hate the game.
Reading _Wizard's First Rule_ right now. "Charisma bypasses the rational mind and shoots straight into the limbic system (as do fear, outrage, etc)." That's pretty much the premise of the book.

I don't get this whole fertilizer crunch thing. If you look at the price of Osmocote on Amazon, it's basically not much different than it's always been:

https://camelcamelcamel.com/product/B00GTDGMHC

So basically the cost of enough fertilizer to feed an entire family for a year has gone up by, what, $20? $100?

And that's at retail prices; the cost (and cost increase) would obviously be much smaller when purchased in bulk. And that's also for the name brand product, obviously generics are much cheaper.

I'm not a farmer but I did fertilize ~20 fruit trees with weekend with Plant-tone, Peters 20-20-20, Garden Lime, and Fish & Kelp. My cost of doing that for the entire year will be maybe $60, and that's only because I'm trying to maximize fruit quality and tree health rather than minimize costs.

I agree with you, even if I wouldn't have made the comment.

"has historically used" or "has used in the past" or "tends to use" or "uses".

The term "always used" does sound like the subject is departed.
