Lurk Lab @ Protocol Labs | Multiple Positions | REMOTE | Full-time contract-to-hire

Lurk Lab is building Lurk (https://github.com/lurk-lang), a Turing-complete programming language for recursive zk-SNARKs. Lurk implements a minimal Lisp whose program executions can be proved in zero-knowledge, yielding succinct proofs that are concretely small and fast to verify. Lurk uses a Rust implementation (https://github.com/lurk-lang/lurk-rs) for expression evaluation, proving, and verification, with Nova (https://github.com/microsoft/Nova/) as its proving backend. Because Lurk is Turing-complete, it can be used to make and prove arbitrary computational claims (within resource limits).

We are looking for strong cryptography engineers, researchers, documentation specialists, applications developers, and start-up leaders/web3 entrepreneurs who want to build next-generation SNARK technology. Relevant programming languages include Rust, Lisp, and (less significantly) WASM.

We are hiring for:

- Rust Cryptography Engineers, https://grnh.se/d94e94ec4us

- Software Engineers for Lurk Application Development, https://grnh.se/de7e82424us

- Documentation Engineer, https://grnh.se/10e2ca4d4us

- Start-up operator / business lead (currently unlisted, email luke.sandquist@protocol.ai with CV and a brief cover letter describing your experience driving the business end of deep technical projects in the web3 space)
What is your point? That legal systems are useful? I didn't say they weren't... Simply that Bitcoin doesn't require one for its scarcity and transaction mechanism.
> If we go by Ukraine’s claims, they should have been at the gates of Moscow at this point.

Ukraine has never claimed an intent to enter Russian territory, so that is clearly false.

> You don’t seem to be aware that even if we trusted that number from Ukraine itself, it would still qualify as a majestic performance since the drones are dirt cheap.

It is a demonstration that Ukraine’s air defenses have focused on what Russia had and was using previously, and not this particular threat. Israel’s performance against this and more advanced Iranian drones (and the fact that Israel keeps jets even though it is the world leader in this class of munitions) are pretty good signals that while these kind of munitions have a role in modern combat, they aren’t magic trump cards that replace manned jets in general, or even just for ground strike roles.

This thread is a pretty good breakdown: https://twitter.com/Justin_Br0nk/status/1574414714469335046
Indeed. There is no logical reason to invade Ukraine unless Russia also intends to seize the Suwałki Gap and the Baltic states.
You seem to be suggesting there isn't a level playing field: can you explain why?

> Europe’s manufacturing base underpins the value of the euro. When this base is obliterated by high energy costs, the euro will sink.

Hmm... but when the Euro falls the attractiveness of its exports increases.

One consistent thing about these articles is that they fail common sense tests.

Anyway, Brexit is almost certainly to blame for the magnitude of the calamity in England. The bigger problem is that nobody buys anything from there, that English industry and innovation have been stagnating for a long time.

The Pathway to 1B Indian Consumers: Shiprocket’s E-Commerce Revolution
I'm in the visual effects industry. The public info we rely on is real world reference in youtube.

Now, sometimes things are easy-ish to find. Like explosions or fires. Or clips of movies with visual effects. And sometimes things are hard to find (or at least I get tripped up) like a close up of someone walking across dry straw. Then there's the problem that sometimes the footage is nice but it's 12 years old and of potato resolution.

That said a client is usually pretty well invested in getting the look of something they like and will sometimes provide good or decent reference. Additionally I'm not sure if any studio would be willing to pay for a library of well annotated youtube clips of everything.

Just spit-balling.

> Making it harder, rather than easier, to chargeback fraudulent uses is not what I'm looking for.

Honestly I'm still confused by the whole thing.

I told them that it was a fraudulent transaction that I didn't approve, they then kept asking me for tracking numbers and finally closed the support ticket, and would close any further ones instantly on me with this reply.

Never mind the fact that it was a completely separate issue than what they would keep replying to me about, the fact that they included the line of

> At this point, the only possibility is that the shipment was stolen after the delivery. This is no longer a case where the merchant is at fault. Hence, the case would be concluded in the merchant's favor.

is a complete disregard for visa's rules. The fact that they wouldn't even let me open a dispute is the biggest factor of "wtf" here to me.
I found Hinge to be heavily skewed towards well-off professional women looking for well-off professional men. (Can't speak about the men since I only looked at women.) Other than that the mechanics seemed pretty typical. There were fewer bots, sex workers, and badly done profiles than on Tinder, which was nice.
Its obviously not as light on the problem solving, but this is why I keep playing Kerbal Space Program.

I'll admit, I play with the Mechjeb autopilot for doing most maneuvers because they get so repetitive. But it's fun to have an alarm clock full of different missions and switching between the different things you have in progress.

It's a helpful comment if people reflexively go "there's radiation?! That's dangerous!", which they do in my experience.

Reminders that things need quantification are often helpful to prevent people getting worked up over nothing or ignore important issues.

Without knowledge of the numbers saying "There's radioactivity!" should just cause a shrug.

I wonder if you misunderstood the GP's question.

I don't think they were asking, "Why, as the manufacturer, should we consider your desire reasonable?".

I think they were asking, "As a fellow computer user, I'd like to better understand something interesting, and it sounds like you might be up to something interesting."
I think that is because you supermarket doesn't sell cars, airplanes, ships or machined tools.

If you ever have a friend or family member who is trying to get around wetland conservation laws, they are contributing to the shrinking of our river systems.

Water retention capacity in upper watersheds directly contribute to average river flow, which is very easy to show by the behavior of streams. Deserts are self-reinforcing systems where the heat pushes clouds up or away from them. Wet, cool forests draw in more precipitation in. We don't really understand the processes yet, but we do know it's not a zero sum game of delaying (or 'stealing') water versus total system flow. This is most easily demonstrated for watersheds on the windward sides of mountains, due to snow pack, but forests and microbes both fiddle around with cloud cover in general.

As for restoring watersheds, we systematically removed the engineers that created the lush river systems of the US and Canada, namely the beaver, which once numbered at somewhere between 60 and 300 million animals in North America. We blame long term changes in rain patterns for the reduced river flow, but I strongly suspect that is the '3 Whys' trap of the Five Whys Process.
I am a Canadian logger from western Canada. This article is nonsense and I have seen similar ones peddled locally.

The wood used in pallets is garbage wood, all wood is graded. You cannot cut down high end old growth and chip it. You will loose a lot of money due to chipping high end wood into low costing pallets and you would get fined by the government.

It is plausible the company was using garbage and blown down wood as well it is plausable that their cutting is to reduce fire risk. Logging has a terrible rep alot if people watched scary American clear cut documentarys when they were young and assume we wrecklessly mow down forests without thought or planning.

If people don't want forests to be logged they can quit using wood. As well you'd need to stop putting out forest fires and let nature reset itself as it always did before humans showed up.

Mr. Corneroffice has an incentive to catch BS like that, which is that aside from subscriber numbers, he's probably accountable for retention numbers, or even revenue numbers. If he accepts the fake numbers this month, his retention numbers are going to nosedive next month and he's going to look for a neck to choke. If he's content to fake all his numbers, his boss will have a similar counter-incentive, and so on all the way to the top until you reach investors, who are strongly incentivized to detect bullshit, if only to unload the stock onto some other sucker.
- Applied logic

- How do you think through a problem and solve it.

- I think a good engineer is someone who is akin to a detective and enjoys that kind of work

- Ethics

- Intro ethics isn't enough. Also intro philosophy isn't enough. We need actual applied ethics where they sit students down, explain how to say "no", and how to know when you should.

- High-income personal finance

- Students go from living on $10k a year to $10k a month, basic personal finance is alright but someone really needs to explain how to go through this huge sudden boost in earning power, how to handle it, what to do with it, etc.

- Personal finance, in my estimation, is more about how to fit your expenses into your income. I think "high-income personal finance" would assume a basic understanding of how to budget (or even the assumption they won't necessarily need to), but more about setting yourself up long-term and not making financial mistakes
Afaik,

- Xbox is basically using Windows Core + the xbox shell and runs the games in virtual machines.

- The PS4/5 use FreeBSD with their shell and libraries on top.

- The Steam Desk ships Linux and a shell on top of it (Steam Big Picture + Proton).

modern consoles are just PCs using PC OSs with custom UIs that fit the control scheme.

The only one that I could think of that's heavily modified is the Switch.

I'm an early-career software developer with 4 years of professional experience. I've worked mainly on backend applications and .NET WebAPIs, but would be interested in moving to a more full-stack role. I am passionate about seeing the impact my work makes on the end-user, and believe wholeheartedly that the development lifecycle works best when engineers are in regular contact with those users.

I'm looking for a place with a strong culture of ownership, and somewhere to really focus on growing my technical skills and get exposed to the long-term impacts of technical and architectural decisions in a given business domain.

Thanks for taking the time to read this over!
> ”Apple is also reportedly taking steps to build its own demand-side platform (DSP) … If true, it would mean that Apple is jumping on the ad tech bandwagon, something that it has so far resisted doing.”

Not entirely true: Apple’s iAd platform ran for a few years in the 2010s before being canned in 2016.

> I would imagine that cars built for endurance racing

At the higher end of professional racing, those are custom built cars.

But for most categories of racing, endurance race cars are just regular street cars. Hondas, Mazdas and BMWs are what I've raced or crewed with.

> Yeah, aircraft are as obsolete as tanks, the Ukrainian War showed us as much

I wouldnt go THAT far yet because there are still some uses for the aircraft. Especially very long range missions are economical by using aircraft. Ie, 2000 km and more ranges. Including interception and air defense. There are missiles that can travel such distances, but they are expensive still.

However true, very soon that kind of range will also be covered by drones, making aircraft totall obsolete.

> As far as dogfights are concerned, they were declared dead prior to Vietnam. To the point fighter jets didn't get cannons anymore. Vietnam caused the creation of Top Gun, when the Navy realized their pilots were not up to par in airial combat.

That was a time in which the missiles were still in their infancy. Hence the miss rate and the need to dogfight. Today its not like that.

> one of the following scenarios will happen

I propose that none of those scenarios will happen. Existing air defense systems now can reach distances up to 500 km and shoot down literally, actually anything. (S-500 and above). Suicide drones can travel 1700 km. Strike drones even more.

There is no need to have any aircraft take off and do mission at a long distance, in which they would get promptly shot down by advanced air defense systems. Just spam drones.
Too bad you didn't have this ready a year ago.

"gifting" women you barely know is a terrible strategy. This is the best way to land yourself a gold digger or some other undesirable. It signals to her that you are beneath her and are trying to buy her affection.

On one first date a woman I had been talking to for a week texted me late at night. I told her to show up at my house and for her to bring a bottle of red wine. The next morning she is telling me a recent dating story. A guy took her out for a fancy meal. He spent $120 on her and then he got pissed after the meal when she wouldn't kiss him.

I have some success and plenty of failure too when it comes to dating. There is so much bad dating advice out there for men. I feel bad for the men that are in the dark and being taken advantage of.

> The European energy war of 2022 will almost certainly go down in history, along with the Treaty of Versailles, as one of the worst economic blunders in history.

No, it is absolutely necessary. What will go down as one of the worst blunders in history is allowing Europe to become so dependent on a single hostile country for energy.
I was diagnosed with spd a few years ago. I shared the diagnosis with a few friends, one of whom is a therapist, and they honestly thought it was a misdiagnosis because I don't always have a flat affect, can show happiness, etc. But honestly I loved being diagnosed because I could really identify with what I read about the disorder.

What is described here is something I also struggle with - the obligation to explain my worldview to others. Sometimes there is no way around it, because the more you withdraw to avoid voicing your opinion, the more guilt you can feel for somehow being sneaky or dishonest. I also don't know if sharing the 'why' would really help. What I see as matter-of-fact can make others extremely sad. Either way, it's interesting to think about. Thanks for sharing.
The differentiation is that you're the only one having that subjective experience and you're stuck with it, so as far as you're concerned the rest of the world is a construct around you and you might as well make it an experience with which you're at least content.

If we started to have neural linking that mimics exactly the entirety of another person's subjective experience, perhaps we'd prefer being brains in vats experiencing a handful of human TV channels while the "top" whatever live it themselves. But then again at that point why not experience an eagle's flight, a whale's dive, the sense of scale of an ant, the computing of some supercomputer, etc.. and whatever we currently consider to be topping our experiences would also be relative.

Reporters filmed a logging truck, full of logs, going from these forests to Drax's pellet plant. That's all the plant does, it makes pellets for fuelling the vast power station.

There's no sign of other magical trucks, maybe taking logs to be milled for IKEA or for sale in US hardware stores, and unsurprisingly Drax doesn't try to pretend such trucks exist. Drax has the license, Drax does the logging, Drax is the exclusive consumer of these logs, all the logs are "waste".

According to the Canadian government 89% of the logs going into that plant were of a grade that a conventional timber mill would process for commercial use. Except no need, these logs are all "waste" turned into pellets to be burned for "green" credits.

It isn't just the UK government who were hoodwinked. The pellet plant itself is the same scam. It originally told the Canadian government it would convert waste from nearby mills into pellets. "At least 95%" of the pellets would be from sawmill waste, free money for the Canadian economy. Except oops, turns out that wasn't quite true. Almost immediately they needed to import waste from further afield, and then they found a much cheaper option, instead of paying to haul waste from other mills just buy whole trees. Soon the majority of the "waste" for the pellet plant was perfectly good logs.
Yeah, no, he was 100% correct, I was just looking at the wrong snippet.
It's been fixed now :)
They ABSOLUTELY do.

Marketing campaigns often convince people to think things, however subconsciously, i.e. Lincoln is associated with Luxury or X cereal is a wholesome breakfast.

What I hadn't seen until this was a marketing campaign that actually proselytized so many into proclaiming the message for free. On HackerNews, Reddit and in public places you're likely to find someone vouching for Apple's privacy practices sometimes with the same verbiage that's on the billboards! Maybe that's a testament to Steve Jobs's lasting marketing impact.

I personally see the incentive structure which makes Apple more privacy-friendly than say Google. But I'm deeply suspicious of such a convenient message that the largest corporation in the world puts its resources behind. Also, being more privacy-friendly than Google and being privacy friendly are two different things.
Could be the lack of ego. Capitalization is often removed by people who don't want to project a self and instead talk from a point of humility. Inverse of all-caps which is seen as "shouting" and forcing your view on another.
