Dabble | https://www.dabble.com.au/ | Remote / Hybrid (Australia) | Full-Time | Senior & Staff Software Engineers

Dabble is a social sports betting startup trading in Australia under a government issued wagering license. Since our launch in July, we have grown at a rate that has exceeded even our own optimistic projections, handling well over a million bets last month.

As a result of our growth, we are looking for multiple typescript engineers to join our small team. We strongly believe in hiring the best talent available and then getting out of their way so they can do their best work. If you are the person most of your team DMs with typescript/engineering questions, you are probably the kind of person we like hiring! Our core tech is typescript, react native, express, postgres, kafka & k8s on AWS. We are also hiring for a Lead Data Engineer (Airflow/DBT).

Applicants from all timezones are welcome to apply. Staff located in Australia are able to work fully remote or hybrid from one of our offices (Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Albury and Darwin).

For more info, please shoot a quick introduction to techjobs/at/dabble.com.au

Can you identify GPT text versus authentic text? If so, then there are features in that text that give it away. It stands to reason that there exist other features in the text, based on the training data the model was fed, and other characteristics of the model, that a discriminator model could use to detect, with some confidence, which model produced the text. A discriminator model which can detect a specific generative model essentially captures its "fingerprint".

An example of some of these features might be the use of specific word pairs around other word pairs. Or a peculiar verb conjugation in the presence of a specific preposition.

I’m a technologist with a decade of professional experience after leaving the regulated cannabis profession. I’ve worked on everything from supporting PhD economists at Amazon to building IOT/datacenter control systems for HBO. I’ve been tech lead on teams of a dozen and organized trainings on topics from Agile to AWS to advanced mathematics.

I have used Ionic for about 7 years now? 5 years ago it was sort of still a painful beta-like product. Not the case today. We ship and maintain 2 different apps to web, iOS, and android each, with only 3 developers. These are highly complex apps , although not games. Ionic really got great about 3 years ago.

I suspect that if you had experienced Ionic a bit later in it's cycle, you would have been happy. Hard to tell, and I do think there are genuine cases for building to specific platforms. However I think it's the exception (outside gaming), not the rule.

Ever since OpenAI transitioned away from the non-profit model, I'd take these statements with a grain if salt. Yes, there may also be some truth in that opinion, but don't underestimate monetary interests when someone has an easy ~12 month industry lead. Meta's existence and financial wellbeing on the other hand doesn't depend on this stuff, so they have less incentive to keep things proprietary. It seems ironic and almost bit sad that the new commercial circumstances have basically reversed these companies' original roles in AI research.

The other ones are smaller but not much worse according to their tests (oddly, in the Winograd Schema Challenge and Commitment Bank tasks, the largest model actually appears to be worse than much smaller ones).

30B parameter models are already large enough to exhibit some of the more interesting emergent phenomena of LLMs. Quantized to 8 bits, it might be possible to squeeze into 2, better three 3090s. But the models also seem undercooked, slightly to strongly under-performing GPT-3 in a lot of tasks. To further train the same model is now looking at > 100 GB, possibly 200GB of VRAM. Point being, this is no small thing they're offering and certainly preferable to being put on a waiting list for a paid API. The 6.7B and 13B parameter models seem the best bang for your buck as an individual.

Country the size of Australia could actually build sizeable solar assets across multiple timezones. The "backup problem" is a storage problem that could be solved more locally to the consumption. (houses with batteries, or suburbs, or cities, or states). The "night time" generation problem is a bit BS given electricity demand drops significantly at nigh in Australia, so the storage requirement is no where near the generation requirement.

Just some thoughts. Australia has enough unutilised land mass to generate the global power demand a couple of times over, North Africa also does... so you could build a solution that requires no storage at all.
Given that IBM has transitioned to MacBooks for corporate use, have at least some Red Hat developers moved to MacBooks as well?

So I just asked my partner, and what she explained was myopia is basically caused by/a symptom of axial elongation of the eye, which is also what can cause the bigger diseases I spoke about initially! Ortho-K/myopia control as a kid/young adult can help fix/arrest the continued development of this, though thats now well outside what I understand of the topic haha
It should be easy enough to make that sort of signature very difficult to trace by simply adding a bunch of small noise to the network overall, or even simply training for a few iterations.
> especially due to the complicated usage.

I'm going to say vim, and I expect to get yelled at by folk who don't use vim, but here's why I call it elegant software:

Vim's entire command model is based on the simple composition of motion and action.

Until you understand this you will never 'get' vim. You may be able to use it, even efficiently, but you will never understand how these two simple concepts when fully understood are a force-multiplier.

Motion indicates a range, of characters or lines, there are motion keys that will get you: to EOL, to EOF, to next matching char, to braces, to function / class blocks, to predefined marks.

An action is something that applies to that range, these can be anything from auto-formatting, changing case, calling out to another process, anything you can imagine.

When you understand this suddenly g=GG, ct(, y$ become: reformat document, cut to next paren and copy till EOL respectively. Does that sound horribly esoteric? that's only because you don't yet understand vim motion composition.

I'm happy to argue that if anyone fully understands this concept they cannot help but agree that vim is at it's heart seriously elegantly designed software.
Waste heat is not free to the degree that you're not cooling your cold side as efficiently. If "sending heat to homes" has the same thermal resistance as "just dissipate it", then sure.

However, I find it elegant that heat is directly used to heat homes, rather than turning it into low-entropy electricity just to turn it to heat again (which is inelegant, even with heat pumps).
Incredible useless comment.

> Quick note that the SF Conservancy has been advancing a scary new approach to liability with GPL.

> Historically, the rights and responsibilities related to GPL comes from the copyright holder. If the GPL was not followed, the person who wrote the code could optionally take action. This actually works out pretty well, because folks who actually code tend NOT to file frivioulus type legal cases and things were reasonable.

If you write some code and release it under the GPL, and some company makes a device that includes a modified version of the software, and I buy the device but the company refuses to provide source for their modifications, why should my rights under the GPL depend on you as a developer (and copyright holder) suing the company? The GPL grants the user of the software specific rights and imposes equivalent obligations on whoever the user received the software from.

Whether the original developer is busy, uninterested, incapacitated, or even dead should have no impact on my rights as a user.

It may be true that a user is not (and perhaps even should not be) able to terminate the company's license to use, modify, and redistribute GPL software (I think that's debatable, since the GPL doesn't condition termination on the copyright owner taking action, but IANAL), but a user receiving the software should damn well be able to insist on receiving the modified source code, and in the face of a refusal to comply, a user should be able to sue. In fact, a class action suit on behalf of all affected users should be possible.
>You are better off using Wikipedia and /r/ELI5 in most cases.

I disagree here. Wikipedia just bombards you with data and does not lead you by hand into understanding; /r/ELI5 is trivial and mostly cutesy-poo writing.
$1T is the debt if you assume a discount rate of 3%, which is lower than the rate of return on long term government bonds, and far lower than the rate of return on what the state pension programs actually invest in.

A far more standard discount rate of 7% results in a debt of $310B.

Haven't played with it yet, but this tooling is exactly what I'm looking for for my SQL-first-python-second "data lake" workflows. It doesn't exactly matter to me if data in a table gets rewritten in-place since it's built on a model meant to be destroyed at any time from an original source file - generally data from FOIA or gov sources that's write-once.

In a way, having to pull things out of the DB and into python is something that requires change attribution on its own since it's a conversion between abstractions which I tend to think of as a lossy process (even if it isn't). This sort of tooling keeps the abstractions localized, so it's much easier to maintain a mental model of models of changes.

I’d heavily challenge you on #2. For fifty years, every SCOTUS nominee has been weighed against their opinion on Roe v Wade. It’s high time to relegate that decision to the legislative branch so that we can more wisely seat new justices based on a wider variety of opinions.

Is this article’s definition of strawman argument the accepted one? I don’t think it is arguing against your opponent’s weakest point. That’s just debate. To strawman you have to misrepresent your opponent’s position and then counter your own misrepresentation.
Of course they do. But do people in major leadership positions with worldwide reach bear any responsibility for what they say?

Humans are social creatures. I'm willing to bet most of the things you do or say are heavily influenced by what other people do or say. For you, Musk may not be one of those people. But for many, he probably is.

If that’s all you care about, then sure, you can change the units all you want. Physicists work with units where c=1 all the time because it simplifies the calculations. When you do that, the equation simplifies to E=m, and 1 mass always equals 1 energy. Just note that in this system of units, “1 mass” becomes a tiny amount, much smaller than the mass any every–day object has.

Your remarks are a good summary of pro-choice arguments.

There are also credible pro-life arguments. The 14th amendment's Equal Protection clause is arguably provides the strongest legal basis for banning abortion: "nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."

So the legal question is whether a baby that hasn't yet been born is a person - if so, their life ought to be protected by state laws in the same way they protect anyone else's life.

It's a pretty straightforward question - is this baby an individual human being or not? I for one can't accept that I wasn't me while I was yet inside my mom (we know scientifically that after fertilization, I was a distinct human from my mom and dad) - and I see no reason to deny that personhood to fellow people. Answering in the affirmative, and various reasons for such an answer, forms the basis of the pro-life view.

Zooming out a bit, pro-life people see abortion as a modern analog to slavery in the US (where enslaved African-Americans were viewed as 3/5 of a person), except that unborn babies are viewed as not a person at all -- and this framing is used to justify killing them, not merely enslaving them and denying them the right to vote.

Vaccum leaks can do the same, in idle that is. My '82 Rover V8 has that attitude sometimes when it's hot and not a lot air gets to the engine (traffic jams and so). Needs some load to get revs down, ideally the engine get cooled down. Have to hunt the issue down.

Apparently it can happen with carbs in general. I knoe people tgat had issues switching this engine off in the desert because the fuel in the carbs evaporated and continued to be pulled in the engine. Which was hot enough to to ignite it for a while...

Primer | Engineering Manager, Senior/Staff Engineers, Product Design Lead | REMOTE | https://www.sayprimer.com

I'm an experienced Y-Combinator founder and engineering leader. My teams have built everything from machine learning systems that crunch 200+ billion data points / day at Wheelhouse to groundbreaking 3D/CV technology at Modsy that resulted in a patent.

We're building the "CircleCI of Growth Marketing" at Primer. Growth marketing has boomed in recent years and every B2B company needs a tailored, data-driven approach to their market in order to win business. Primer is enabling our customers to accomplish this much faster without having to engineer an expensive system.

Here are a few reasons to work with us:

* We bootstrapped the company to $700k in revenue with a team of 4 and recently raised a round to support our consistent 20.1% MoM growth in 2021.

* We have a track record of helping our team members catapult their careers to the next level.

* Our team is fully distributed, supports flexible schedules, genuinely values work/life balance, and we spend 95% of our time outside of meetings.

* 50% of our product/engineering team is women.

* Our engineering ceremonies and technology are world-class, put engineers in the drivers' seat, and emphasize transparency.

* Our culture is high-achieving, trusting, genuinely kind, and collaborative.

Our stack is React/Node, but we welcome polyglots. In general, we're looking for thought partners to help us architect a solution for the future so experience with other languages (e.g. Elixir, Go, Clojure, Kotlin, Haskell, Rust) is a plus. 7+ years experience minimum.

Interested? Feel free to contact me directly at cto [at] sayprimer.com
