PlantingSpace | REMOTE (Europe time) | Full-time | https://planting.space

We are an early-stage research and development startup, with an ambitious goal to build a system capable of understanding knowledge, to answer questions and get things done.

Our work leverages cutting-edge domains such as Probabilistic Programming and Applied Category Theory. Initially we’re focussed on building a system that can receive queries in natural or domain specific language, provide good answers and an insight into its reasoning.

We look for senior technologists with skills in:

- Software engineering (Julia): to build our core system

- Research across areas: to develop our theoretical framework

Useful experience: algorithms, Bayesian statistics, symbolic computing, optimization, category theory, information theory.

I think their point is that we can accomplish all the safety needs while only increasing costs and time so much, and that some portion (maybe big, maybe small) of that time is needless bureaucracy. They aren't advocating for more risk.
years ago I purchased a Create Sound Blaster ZxR.

Windows _never_ worked well with it. A reboot may or may not have my sound card undetected due to some bug, I think it was related to their PlugNPlay, but I don't recall.

Until they completely dropped support for it, so then I just flat couldn't use it. And Linux support for it never really came around (maybe now? no idea).

So my policy now is fuck Creative. I purchased good money for a top-of-the-line sound card that never worked well and rather than fixing it they dropped support for the very next version of Windows.

I just use my motherboard audio because I don't have to deal with that shit and if I do ever purchase another separate soundcard it sure as shit won't be Creative.
Companies that "specialize in such things" rarely offer 50 cents on the dollar. Payments that high tend to be for "sure things" like slow Accounts Receivables.

Anecdote: one small company that I worked for (in the 90s) was having cash flow problems with their larger customers stretching "net 30" into partial payments 4-6 months late. The firms offering to buy AR stuff like this were offering 25-33% up front, or 50% after 60 days. I don't know if the vultures smelled blood, or if there was an industry-wide problem that they saw (and we didn't).
Damn, you haven't been cancelled yet, how did you get around this world of censorship?
$36M is because the school knowingly made false statements that destroyed a business, which was (presumably) worth ~$36M.

If I knowingly-falsely call you a pedo and you lose your job as a result, then I’m liable for your lost wages. That’s how libel works.

ETA: according to the lawsuit, that is. Idk the detailed facts of the case personally, just reacting to the article.

Why do you think theology protects against woo?

It seems like atheism might be correlated with false beliefs around social studies, but probably anti-correlated around false beliefs like "trump still the election".
Nope. Zoning and licensing is in the hands of politicians and construction lobbies vying for the best places to build high-value housing, which is where they get the most return.
There are several elephants in this particular room. Which are you referring to?
you began the thread saying the left saves themselves from attack by de-arming themselves
It wasn't like the ball thrown to them was made of facts and logic, either.
> 97 cents on the dollar

You really think you could get such a rate? I was thinking the opposite - the firm would take 97 cents on the dollar. Debt collection is surely not a business built on such thin margins
I wasn't familiar with Oberlin before reading this story, but I found it nonetheless interesting as an example of how your life can be turned around quickly.

I don't doubt that modern day businesses make decisions based on whether it can lead to a social media-powered mob forming against them. Stories like these help understand why and give some details about what the worst case scenario might look like.
I'm not the OP, but Orion supports extensions from both the Firefox and Chrome ecosystems. It also supports the WebRequest API in blocking mode, meaning you can use uBlock Origin, which you can't use at all with Safari.
I'm not sure I'd even call it intentionally deceiving, just a significant omission.
I think it is part of why some people were annoyed though - it's obviously a bit more nuanced than the headline suggests, and not all a bunch of luddites totally against the use of AI in art. The specifics matter - some people found particular aspects of how this person went about it annoying.
Did you read either piece to gain additional context and confirm whether or not your assumptions about them are correct, or are you commenting strictly on titles alone?
I don't understand what "slightly condescending virtue signalling" is and how it "allows you to pass information freely" and what the fear is regarding "being viewed as someone who is dead serious about that kind of charts" or what is wrong with someone who "frequents PUA-forums"

I'm so far removed from this stuff generally I didn't really understand anything in that sentence (lol)
The Two Things
They have a Scheduled Events feature, I think rolled out in the past year. Not very many features compared to MeetUp though: https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/4409494125719-...
I think that sort of auto-ranking would require more tracking than they want to do.
It is not a misuse of Roman numerals. It is an abbreviation of the Latin “Mille Mille”.
Removed the analogy from the post since, agreed it can sound condenscending and wrong (missed that in the initial draft).

I am a software and data engineer with eight years of experience in a range of settings. Currently I like to help small to mid-sized companies automate business workflows and improve data processing by applying modern automation paradigms. I also enjoy more technical work related to data and processes, like optimising workflows for throughput or improving memory use profiles of existing tools, and would be happy to discuss data science projects.

I have a Masters degree in mathematics and a multidisciplinary background with experience in computer science, biology, and genomics. I have spent a number of years in academia, where I managed very large amounts of compute in cluster environments, collaborated on open source software in complex problem domains, and published research papers.

I am mostly looking for unique opportunities and for short to mid-term projects. I will consider full time roles, but would prefer commitments of up to 20 hours a week arranged on a freelance / per-project basis.

If Microsoft destroyed my house out of malice, would the value of my house be a reasonable fine? Would it discourage Microsoft from doing it again? Would Microsoft even notice?

The revenue of Oberlin does seem much more relevant than the revenue of the bakery here to me.
How fast is it on a m1?
I assume that the 36 million isn't just compensatory damages, but punitive damages, and possibly treble damages + legal fees.
Once again, no. The jury awarded $11MM in actual damages, and the balance was punitive --- punitive damages are communicative and have nothing at all to do with the value of the business, beyond that they're capped at a low multiple of the actual damages.
Well, can't those people just leave the group if they don't want to hear from the third party anymore?
I think, PWAs need so serious evangelism.

So much FUD around them...

Why Is Pakistan Drowning and China Drying?
I mean, that is already the case for anyone who can launch a satellite. So US, Russia, China, the EU, Iran, India, Israel, both Koreas and Japan. Which helpfully are the only people who could mine in space. So I don't think this is really a limit...
I thought we'd never get image generation this fast. Last year it was 30 minutes per image. The stable diffusion folks are planning for a 100mb release of the image generator in Q1 which for sure would be real time. I actually suspect you can get something like that incredibly fast (even though all intuition says otherwise).

Wow this is helpful. I'm using sqlite for some of my projects and always bothered that some functions are missing. WITH RECURSIVE is too mind bending.

Shielding your assets is a lot easier if you are a bad faith, “bankrupt” person than if you are a permanent business.
Meetup can't even get basic things correct. I updated my profile photo, and now the new one is shown on some pages while the old one is shown in others. I look totally different in the photos too, and since I'm the organizer it confuses the hell out of people!
It's probably not absurd...In US libel cases the plaintiff has to open their books to the courts which is how they create the damage estimates. Those facts are probably sealed so we don't have the whole picture.
There is a value in being able to spam via an already verified list.

If that value is more than a dump and run on the Meetup expense, there is an obvious arbitrage opportunity. Capitalism all but guarantees others will be able to leverage this along with the less obvious opportunities.
I have been trying out Orion for the last few months and have found two features to be very valuable:

• vertical/nested tabs

• sharing tabs between desktop/mobile

My daily driver has been Brave for the last few years, but the lack of TST has me looking for alternatives. If I'm not able to find a decent TST solution, I'll be migrating more of my browsing to Orion.
There is a real, and serious, and worsening, conflict between "free expression" of noble and necessary kinds,

and weaponized speech, such as disinformation and other tools for sentiment steering. Which is arguably now a significantly worse problem for most societies than mere suppression.

Not to mention merely venal "corporate speech" and the deluge of commercial speech (much of it undisclosed).
Someone’s would have to do the math on the core pressure, but likely there would be an ice mantle around a rocky core and possibly a supercritical layer.

Show HN: Open-source infra for building embedded data pipelines
Hey HN!

We are building *open source infrastructure for deploying customer-facing data pipelines.*

Here’s our repo https://github.com/pipebird/pipebird and website https://pipebird.com/.

Pipebird (YC W22) is designed to enable companies that generate important data to offer secure data pushes to their customers’ warehouses, directly from their products.

Our team was previously building in fintech, where we heard from many of our peers that their customers wanted data pushed directly to their warehouses. Customers wanted to bring data into their source of truth without having to maintain custom built pipelines or introduce security risks by contracting a third-party ETL/ELT provider.

After seeing Stripe https://stripe.com/data-pipeline and customer.io https://customer.io/data-warehouse recently invest in building out their own native data sharing products, we realized that many SaaS companies could better support their customers and even generate additional revenue by offering native data pipelines.

Our goal with Pipebird is to make creating a reliable data pipeline as simple as pressing a button from a vendor's dashboard.

With the current iteration of the product, data can be selected from a number of sources (ex: Postgres, MySQL, CockroachDB, etc.), customers can configure pipelines and optionally apply transformations (like type casting), and data can be periodically synced directly to customers’ warehouses (ex: Snowflake). We’re actively adding sources/destinations and would appreciate any feature requests.

Here's a 2 min demo of the product https://www.loom.com/share/c7a7e4b4e57c4015b533fd754c510b2e

Pipebird is open source (MIT license) so that any developer can use it. Our aim is to not charge individual developers - we make money selling paid plans that include features like multiple projects, user permissions, additional security features, managed infra, support, etc.

Give us a whirl: https://github.com/pipebird/pipebird. We’d love your feedback and will be here to answer any questions!

my ipad won’t let me search through the PDF, but i couldn’t find where “SSB” was defined, if anywhere. i did not see it defined in the first paragraph, which is where it is first used.

everyone: not all of your readers are domain experts. omissions like this are infuriating.
Uhm, this comment section is literally full of people attacking the students for exactly that and this article puts a frame on things that makes it clear that they may well have been reasonable. Like idk as someone said the court made a decision, but I would judge this kid to be racist based on the statements in the article. And yes I did read the article. That is totally relevant
They have been talking about the screwdriver for a long time. I'm tempted to buy one because I have been following the development but I'll wait for Project Farm to render a verdict on it before I buy it.
Google doesn't have a rule against publishing PWAs in the Play Store. In fact, they encourage it and made specific APIs and tools for it. https://developers.google.com/codelabs/pwa-in-play

I published mine years ago and it's awesome because I never have to touch it. I don't go through app review, I just update my site whenever and however I want, and my store listing just stays there. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.darpinian....

I also published on the Windows store, which works similarly, but nobody uses it.
How to bypass Akamai anti-bot
The school had no business being involved, and beyond no business suggesting that Gibsons report crimes to the school instead of the police. There isn't much controversy here; the school is going to lose $36MM owing to their poor judgement.
> The problem with PWAs is they will never gain parity with the functionality of native development, even with WASM.

They will have as much parity as the platform manufacturer wants them to. If more people and developers adopt PWA then Apple/Google really have no option but to loosen their control over their ecosystems. Maybe then we'll finally have a third competitor in the race.
Isn't this what infinite jest was entirely about
Read The Atlantic on this, too. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2019/06/the-public...
> Members of the opposite sex are just people. They want to be treated normally. My most successful male friend(in terms of dating) just treats females like they're normal people. He pretty much never has trouble and he is a 6 at most with a shitbox car.

Just a suggestion. You think he is a "6" but you are probably wrong because you are unable to view him from the perspective of a woman's gaze. See my other post in my profile's comments about the flow chart stuff.
> this case is real easy - the man was cheating and should return the prize.

Nope. He was upfront and honest before during and after the competition about his methods. This has been made clear in every article about this, as well as in this thread itself. People keep missing this point and it's irritating.

"Allen said that he made clear that his artwork was generated with Midjourney, an online AI art tool, when he was dropping off his artwork and in his narrative submission.

Olga Robak, the director of communications with the Colorado Department of Agriculture, confirmed that Allen mentioned Midjourney in his submission statement.

According to fair rules, anybody can file a grievance against submitted items — but they will need to post a $300 bond, cite specific rules that have been broken and present a grievance letter in person.

The bond can be returned if the grievance leads to a violation of the rules but Robak said a preliminary review showed Allen had not broken any."
You should read to the end of that sentence. I also don't consider it to apply only to the left.
Yeah I've seen that before, the "only certain domains for emails" restriction, but I suppose I'm crossing my fingers that that wouldn't stop me.

Do you have a recommendation for an email server program to use?

+1 for JSF. I have my asbestos underwear on so flame away. Yes it scales just fine to thousands of users with minimal cpu/ram. And it's at least a billion times faster to develop small applications that Node + React + js callback soup.

* Bootsfaces was another good component framework, but it's unfortunately fallen into dis-repair

I'm not tied to JSF specifically as I think component based frameworks are still the easiest to work with to create and deploy things things at light speed. They have an upper limit of scalability (probably somewhere ~100k concurrent users) but that's a problem most people don't have.
She will in fact get the college to pay her, because the college has no choice. The story is deeply misleading on this point.
Not saying it's right, but that's how it can work.
Are we reading the same HN?
The point isn't whether the criteria are knowable or not, the point is whether one is aligned with them, in terms of views/faiths/beliefs about how to live one's life. Better to think of it as a lens, perspective, frame, etc. which is neither true nor false, but instead accepted or rejected. In other words, it's a moral question.
I'm saying talk to men and women because it shouldn't be just "hitting on" people, it should be "talking to people." And if you don't like to get talked to at the grocery store, I mean, fine, don't respond or put in earphones. If I never talked to anyone because of my fear that they didn't want to get talked to, then I'd never have talked to anyone at all.
The second statement is censoring the word "fucks" which is not racist. It was used in this context to try and make it seem like a different word.
I haven't ran this fork yet, but about 1.3 sec/iter. Usually ~30-50 iters/sample (image).

Intolerance must be understood in its academic sense and not in the politically motivated sense it's typically used today.

This is a technically correct point that is always used to justify declaring people you dislike "intolerant" to justify being intolerant.
In what way? It’s a simple measure of distance talking about directly observable objects.
It lines up with the Corruption Perception Index: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f9/Map_of_c...

The average human being lives in a corrupt dictatorship.
Speed and uptime are also features. If customers like speed/uptime (they do) we need to make sure management prioritizes them and understands how certain features will work against speed/uptime.
Yes, paying customers and advertisers are a very important part of that calculus, I agree. We know from the work done by Soley and Craig [1] that newspapers will refrain from publishing unflattering stories that could jeopardize major sponsorships. None of this changes the principle argument that the driving calculus for major news organizations is profit driven instead of driven by public interest.

To some extent yes, if you are building a mobile app and go the Capacitor route, and want a desktop app with the same functionality then Electron makes sense.

However, electron bundles it’s own WebKit, so it’s bulkier. I would quite like a platform similar to electron that uses a shared WebKit distribution. There are a few trying to do that by hooking into OS level WebKit on Mac and Windows.
Courts don't tend to accept "it'd hurt" as a reason to not pay a judgement.
