Hi HN, I've been working on Data Science problems exclusively for the past 5 years, and gained a lot of supporting knowledge related to ML infrastructure during this time.

I'm most proficient in GIS and financial time-series datasets, like locations of shipping vessels/flight tracking/road traffic tracking as I've spent the most time with trading houses correlating paper contract prices to the movement of these physical assets.

I've got 7 years of experience with Python in general, and I'm really proficient with PostgreSQL (for any back-end task) and establishing pipelines for Machine Learning (ML) tasks (using Prefect for the past year or so).

I also work on data science problems exclusively, without the adjoining back-end problems (e.g just give me the data set and you'll get back a model).

Over the past 3 years, I've also become quite proficient in Golang and if you have some projects in Golang, I'd like to work on them as well.
Outdoor activities? Labor jobs? I don't think you can judge without knowing their lifestyle.

Even then, who is to say who can get what? I don't see why trucks are one of things people can't buy just because they prefer it.

I'm sure everyone owns something that another person would consider frivolous.
SEEKING FREELANCER | Remote (I’m in North America/Aus)

Looking for iOS native dev to take our functioning (and App Store approved) prototype and build out a fully functioning product (healthcare assessment tool).

We have deep industry experience in the space - and I built the MVP myself but are looking for a pro to move the project forward to the next level.

ARKit / Vision framework experience a plus.

I would be curious what percentage of corporate repos have any tests.

Airtable | San Francisco/Mountain View CA; New York, NY; Austin TX; Seattle WA | Onsite | Software Engineer (many roles), Data Scientist, Designer, UX Researcher, SRE, IT System Engineer, Engineering Manager

Airtable's mission is to democratize software creation by enabling anyone to build tools that meet their unique needs. Unlike single-purpose apps, we think of Airtable as a toolkit of building blocks that people repurpose to create their own applications. The best-known part of our product is a real-time, collaborative database, but we have layered automations and user-defined interfaces on top of that foundation, enabling our users to create full-fledged applications on top of our platform.

To get a flavor of how we approach engineering problems, check out our recent blog post on how we used server-side rendered React to improve SEO:
https://medium.com/airtable-eng/server-side-rendering-and-it...

We're hiring software engineers for web (JavaScript + TypeScript, Node, React), iOS (Objective-C, Swift), and Android, as well as data engineering, data science, SRE, and many other roles.

We're a team with diverse backgrounds. We believe in the power of highly motivated and capable individuals to accomplish great things in small teams, with end-to-end ownership of projects and rapid iteration.

[COVID-19: All employees are currently remote. Our offices are open, with safety protocols in place, as a completely optional workspace available to employees who prefer not to work at home for whatever reason. We expect to ramp up in-office work further later this year, with employee safety as the top priority.]
Of the big tech companies, Netflix has the smallest most.

Google has search.

Apple has the iPhone.

Microsoft has Windows and Office.

Amazon has AWS and logistics.

All of these are huge competitive moats.

However, unlike when Netflix first started, the moat for streaming is not the tech it is the content. As such, Disney, Universal, etc which have decades worth of movies/shows have a huge advantage in this new reality where streaming can be implemented relatively easily.
A Milestone in the AI Act Negotiations
Quite. Picking up a hitch-hiker changed my life in more ways than I can even reason about.

Also: there must be some very large number of these incredible projects that never really saw the light of day.
The three Crystal Dynamics Tomb Raider games sold 38 million units, so probably something like a billion in revenue. Plus whatever value in Film/TV income, plus some decent mobile games. They can probably recoup the cost with effective management of Tomb Raider, and then the other IP is where they can mine for some value and make the deal look good. They got two great AAA studios with Crystal Dynamics and Eidos Montreal. One Tomb Raider game + one Deus Ex/Thief/Legacy of Kain Reboot + 50 game back catalog remaster/re-release is a solid strategy.

At current TSE prices it'd cost Sony at least 5% of their entire market cap to acquire SE so I think we'd hear a bit more about it if something like that were in the works. A trillion yen is nothing to sneeze at.

You are right but the implication was that the citations were not rebuttals.
I think that's just pandering. The markets expect to hear this line and will punish the stocks of tech companies that don't show some kind of investments into this kind of stuff.

They'll make some NFT-based card game with advanced self-learning AI opponents just to tick all the right boxes.

I love this. I'm going to try using this going forward.

Edit: I just added this into my editor but it's not highlighted by default. I wonder if there's a way to highlight it.
That sounds awful. No, it would need to be an in-house thing, a proper government agency, complete with their own datacenters and software teams across the US.

Probably impossible with the current "print $$$ and outsource" culture in Washington.
> whether they hobble it on AMD

That has varied. At one point, you could set a "please don't sabotage performance" environment variable that made e.g. Matlab 2x faster. Then it started being ignored. Making software deliberately cripple performance to make your hardware look better reveals the kind of company it is.

The 'he' in "he was terminated with cause" is not referring to Gebru, but rather to Chatterjee.

That Chatterjee was fired is seemingly not in dispute, but there was a lot of disagreement on HN over whether Gebru was fired or quit (she offered an ultimatum, which Google accepted.)

The thing about Deus Ex is that there's nothing particularly special about the "IP". Anybody could make a near-future cyberpunk conspiracy-oriented immersive sim, and call it whatever.

The modern Deus Ex games were really average, and (as detailed in the recent hbomberguy video) failed to grasp the key principles of level design that are required to make games like that work.
I think government email services would be very risky, both in a legal sense and in a cybersecurity sense.

You can have government authentication without too many issues, though. The EU has a digital login system that's federated (EIDAS) and your government should never have to retract your ID unless you die. Some implementations use physical smart cards to sign in, others use usernames/passwords+apps/2fa. The system is currently intended only for official government business, but under the hood most systems use something close to OAuth2 so it should be possible to modify the system to allow generic logins.

The downside of such a system is that the using the same authentication for government grants and your social media makes it very easy to phish people. This increases the security requirements of the system significantly, which in turn make the system very annoying to use. The authentication mechanism also allows the government to track exactly what services you use and when.

Personally, I'd much rather see OpenID return. The ability to pick an identity provider and log in would allow for multiple accounts and the ability to control your own data.

Alternatively, wide-spread use of something like https://irma.app/ would be even better. This allows for decentralised identity that you can take with you, just like a regular ID. It also allows for exposing only scoped data (ie "is this person of drinking age" rather than "what's this person's birthdate").

Yeah but thirty years ago they were all little 2WD Nissans and Toyotas with a few bales of hay in the back. The trucks you're talking about were kind of family tractors and would rarely be used for distance. They all got like 9mpg and just needed to run when something got stuck.

I'm skeptical of use of TODO in general, because we rarely know what the future portends. To say "TODO" is to assert what must be done in the future, when in reality all we can typically say is "NOTDOING". That said, "TODO" is well-understood by a lot of editors, so it's often useful to just drop that word in the source code to make it easier to find.

A more reliable approach is to:

1. File a ticket, and

2. Leave a comment in the code linking to it:

// This code does X, but it'd be better to do Y. At the time of writing
// fixing this doesn't seem to be an issue worth fixing.
//
// See: https://bugtracker.example.com/...

It's very difficult to write code that correctly predicts the future, but it's easy to write code that accurately describes the status quo at time of writing.
So like India's system that was immediately filled with corruption, leaks and outages?
Excuse the rambling!

I use both. I like both.

I like to use Rust for “systems programming,” i.e., writing POSIX utilities. Truthfully, I am not the biggest fan of the programming language itself and have become less and less of a fan as I started using it more and more. However, the combination of Cargo and std make it unbeatable for these types of programs. They are truly wonderful.

I have recently been doing a lot of numerical analysis and using C++ has been tremendous for my productivity since, frankly, it doesn’t annoy the programmer that’s trying their best to maintain a tricky balance of SOTA correctness and SOTA performance across a variety of architectures. I suppose this is also a reason not to use C++.

I am more than happy as so-called modern C++ is fantastic, but sometimes I do wish Rust had a better numeric and heterogenous-architecture support since I’d love to use Cargo and I think there’s a lot you can do around safety and using the type system to guarantees around things like stability.

Frankly, I find it strange the Rust working groups have done less to recruit influencers from the scientific or gaming communities than areas like writing micro services or web apps. This is especially evident when you look at std and you see it’s missing extremely basic numerical functionality yet has robust file system features. Their perspective about what is and isn’t fundamental to a programming environment is clear, unfortunately it isn’t mine!
I'd be curious to compare the results of Dall-E 2's output vs a group of human artists each individually given the exact same text prompt (with no follow up clarification allowed) and asked to produce 3-5 drafts.
It's easier to do on contracting. Been doing it for almost 3 years now and won't change it back.

However, I have seen plenty of my friends who does the same who are employed full time, even some who work in the offices physically.

EU/Remote
The criminals which had widespread support across Berlin and Germany. It was also only a couple generations ago.

I’m also of Jewish heritage and multiple members of my extended family were wiped out.

Like I said, Germans and Berliners particularly seem very tolerant of all sorts of extremist ideas. I count “open relationships” as one of them.

It’s like who cares about why things are traditionally the way they are, let’s throw out the old ideas and try new crazy ones. Whether it’s reinventing relationships or sexuality or murdering millions of people. Anything goes.

It's not just a kookie idea they've come up with though it's coming from Baker v Selden and the Copyright Act of 1976 which says:

> In no case does copyright protection for an original work of authorship extend to any idea, procedure, process, system, method of operation, concept, principle, or discovery, regardless of the form in which it is described, explained, illustrated, or embodied in such work

The core rules have no copyright protection and it's "untested?" because the language of the law and the interpretation of it is pretty clear and consistent.
