Adim | Lead Frontend Engineer | Los Angeles or Remote (US timezones) | Full-time | https://adimverse.com/

Adim is transforming the way characters are created and owned in a web3 world. The products and infrastructure we’re building are at the heart of this endeavor. We are looking for a Lead Frontend Engineer to join our team to help unlock the next generation of ownable IP and push the boundaries of what web3 technology allows.

You’d be a great fit if you’re a product-first engineer who has designed, built, and shipped complex web applications. You will take ownership of our frontend, working with our two lead engineers and our lead designer. Ideally, you have experience with our stack (NextJS on TypeScript, AWS, Vercel) as well as some familiarity with web3 technologies.

We are well-funded by a16z crypto and our founding team has an impressive track record in technology and entertainment. We offer competitive salary and benefits (healthcare, 401(k), wellness, etc).

Interested? Apply at https://boards.greenhouse.io/adim/jobs/4018281005

Sure but data corruption? Data integrity on powerloss or other crash is a core feature of pretty much any RDMS, and OOM is actually probably one of the safer ways a database can crash (any disk caches still get flushed so no unpredictability around what is actually persistented)
Not having used nushell, is that what it is like?
It’s entertaining and completely in line with what you would expect out of media and propaganda. There were a bunch of interesting Soviet missions that are basically unknown and obscure in the West. And this Chinese station seems quite notable, but again I basically never hear about it. But then that’s expected, NASA has a massive PR arm that makes sure the tax payers are well informed of its accomplishments. The CCP knows that even if it put massive resources into western media outreach, western news sources would be talking about human rights abuses in the next breath. And it’s extremely rare for a paper to do actual investigative journalism, so even if a western journalist found this station particularly newsworthy, they would have to do all the heavy lifting to get the story published. And probably be getting some explicit or implicit political pressure not to focus so much on a non-ally’s success.
A comparison to fish (shell) would be useful too.
tl;dr if you put it in the contract and you agree to it then it must be fine.

This kind of thinking makes the world worse for everyone except parties that have leverage. No matter what, no company should be able exert so much will over another that it actively prevents anyone but them iterating on their design.

Any time you see an agreement like “we’ll give you x only on the condition you not compete with us” alarm bells should ring.

Things algorithmically generated from a copyrighted work constitute derived work.

Obviously if the thing is as complex as an AI model it might be hard to prove that a copyrighted work was among the inputs.
It's not so much the name calling. It's that you are arbitrarily invited into random people's gossip.
If you have a lot of connections doing similar things, just batch requests to get the data in bulk.

Scaling your database up should only be attempted once you can no longer improve efficiency of your application. It is always better to first put effort into improving efficiency than scaling it up.

For example, one trick that allowed me to improve throughput of one application using MongoDB as a backend by factor of 50 was capturing queries from multiple requests happening at the same time and sending them as one request (statement) into the database, then when you get the result you fan them out to the respective business logic that needs them. The application was written with Reactor which makes this much easier than a normal thread based request processing.

For example, if you have 500 people logging at the same time and fetching their user details, batch those requests for example every 100ms up to 100 users and fetch 100 records with a single query.

You will notice that executing a simple fetch by id query even for hundreds of ids will only cost couple times more than fetching a single record.

The application in question was able to fetch 2-3 GB of small documents per second during normal traffic (not an idealised performance test) with just couple dozen connections.
How DreamBooth Works
Why is sizeof a terrible keyword? Just think of it as an operator rather than a function.
It’s not cynical at all - clock management is recognized and even appreciated as an important part of the game. Teams routinely practice how best to take advantage of the last 2 minutes of the game, and if they misuse even a few seconds of game time the coach gets roasted by the media.

When coaches are able to find a loophole to burn additional seconds off the clock, they are celebrated for it [1], and the rules are typically amended for the following year to prevent similar abuses.

A creepy halloween story–the modern data team
Agreed. What's missing from many of these conversations is Twitter has been a publicly held company with a legal duty to increase value for its shareholders for a decade.

If it were only held to its own morals then this would be much easier to solve (albeit still VERY hard). But it must make decisions to make $ and grow. It found its local maxima by optimizing for ad revenue, coming from eyeballs on screen by incentivizing and distributing emotionally engaging content - e.g. exciting "dunks" and political drama.

The side effect is an increasingly polarized populous. Seeing drama encourages more drama.

Now that Elon has taken Twitter out of the capitalist rat-race, there's an opportunity for them to dislodge from this local maxima and find a new one - perhaps one that doesn't subsist on human drama. The question becomes, how do you find that new local maxima? What does it look like? How does it make money?

Elon is an ego-driven wild boar in my eyes, but he's given Twitter an unprecedented couple years to reinvent itself outside of fiduciary shareholder duties. Now, what will he do with it? What would we want him to do with it?

There are a lot of science fiction stories warning about AI. Although, they are about actual AI and not machine learning. Personally I think it is actually literally impossible to make AI built from conventional computer hardware. Anything you could ever do as a computer scientist can only ever result in more sophisticated, but not sentient algorithms.
If you're ddosing someone's server you necessarily aren't playing around in private.
That sounds bananas. It's okay to have a little stack overflow as a treat?

So for some people, this still is a critical vuln. Is there a list of people for whom this is still urgent?
Seems like an altogether more productive use of time and resources than futzing about with content moderation.
The point of open protocols is not that there will actually be many providers, but that one could switch providers easily if they do something fishy. It's about the threat, and what can happen on margin.

Keeping a sword dangling over the monopolist's head is reasonable.
No, this ratio is unrealistic. Either you're making numbers up rather than describing a real situation, or yes you're far too slow for me to want to hire you.

ARM is terrified of RISC-V and this move seems to be an attempt to prevent anyone doing a lift and shift away from ARM.

RISC-V is a minimal CPU as a manager for a lot of co-processors hanging off it.

What ARM has said is "you can't put your own custom co-processors near an ARM core if they duplicate functionality you could license from ARM". This would prevent you from designing a CPU with an ARM core and a ton of custom co-processors, and then swapping out the ARM core for a RISC-V.

What are you working on? Any new ideas you're thinking about?
For what it's worth, the battery drain on s2idle is absolutely unbearable. It doesn't even last 24 hours before it's dead. In the past week, my laptop has died twice on me because I forgot to plug it back in. Before I switched to s2idle, it never died on me.

So it looks like my choices are huge battery drain while in suspend, or 10+ second delays when resuming from suspend. Ug.
It seems like it could be a way to draw attention to potentially concealed code without making an inflammatory and possibly false accusation. Or it could just be that someone at JetBrains used this trick to hide an Easter Egg at some point.

Entry-level programmer and web developer. Not entry level like Indeed job postings define it (i.e. "5 years of professional experience"). This is the beginning of my professional career in tech after over 15 years as a civil engineer, and after spending the pandemic learning and making personal projects like web-scrapers, microcontroller devices, a Django tutorial website, and even managing a TV credit! And I can talk with people.
Other past professional experience: real estate sales, operate e-commerce website through shopify, a five star etsy shop.

Thanks for being responsive here.
I would really appreciate it if you could satisfy my curiosity.

So, following on the logic presented - any project that slightly touches on decentralized finance is problematic?

How about languages? Would smart contract languages like Solidity, Vyper, Huff and Move be disallowed under this policy?

Would repositories touching on ECDSA suddenly be impacted? Will research repos into ZKP use in blockchain?

How can security researchers add exploitation examples that use one of the aforementioned languages?
I assume you didn't intend to prevent knowledge sharing that can actually educate developers and prevent attackers from affecting the same unsuspecting users this move supposedly helps.

Like most things, this is a complex topic which spans large intertwined ecosystems. They don't all boil down to get rich quick schemes - that's the part I find most misguided.

Keeping with the sentiment you present, a less destructive and easier to digest policy for consumers ( without arbitrarily dismissing all blockchain-adjacent development teams ) would be something like making sure tokens ( ERC20, for example ) and other forms of digital assets require some kind of approval process with your scrutiny.

Blanket banning the Ethereum codebase due to fear of potential fraud / misuse is the equivalent of demolishing the building a stock exchange is in when proper recourse would be de-listing or freezing stocks that are suspected of being fraudulent.

"These domains are strongly associated with fraudulent activities and high-risk investments which take advantage of people who are suffering from economic hardship and growing global wealth inequality"

This can easily be applied to other markets.
Does that mean that a repository that helps fetch current OTC stock prices be disallowed as well? If it doesn't, why would that be different from an API for crypto conversion rates?

I feel like this could have been handled better - wouldn't it be a bit easier if you define a much narrower scope than "prohibition of cryptocurrency or blockchain-related projects"?

There are a lot of projects that depend on the use of validated ( or fiat reserve based ) cryptocurrencies and are not widely considered to be scams as your opinion suggests. Just take a look at Aave, Superfluid and certain DAO projects.
There are governance mechanisms in place - they may not be everyone's cup of tea, but neither are moves done by non-blockchain companies in the public sphere.

Preventing access to technologies for decentralized accumulation / pooling of wealth ( DAOs, for example ) just aligns SourceHut with centralized regulatory measures and extreme censorship, causing more issues to those already harmed by censorship and abuse of power from their own governments.
The theoretical travel time might be an hour, but we can't realistically compare the travel time variances between MetroNorth and Japanese trains.

Going to Stamford is maybe like 1 hour, with frequent catastrophic delays and problems, such that we can maybe model it as like 1.5hr +/- 20 minutes, whereas an hour on a Japanese train is like 1.01hr +/- 30 seconds.

Wildly different user experiences.
I feel like there are three issues at play here:

-Using her name to describe/advertise the fine-tuned model.

-Using her illustrations to fine-tune the model.

-Using a larger body of potentially unlicensed images to train the base model.

For the first, if we had decided that the other steps were fair use or whatever, would it be better or worse if the fine-tuned model had been made available with no mention of the identity of the author of the training images? I'm not sure.

For the second, there is surely a limit after which this sort of thing becomes unambiguously unacceptable. Suppose you fine-tune so aggressively on a small dataset that eventually the model simply reproduces exactly the training images. Now you're obviously violating copyright. But where exactly is line before that? If I have a base model that was trained on fully licensed images, and I make one single gradient descent step using a copyrighted image, making imperceptible changes to the model's output, surely the resulting images not suddenly in violation. It seems to me that the standard should be that if a human were to draw the output by hand after looking at the training images, would we consider it a violation of copyright? As a thought experiment, imagine someone who lacks the ability to draw but can instead hand-write the weights of a neural network to produce the desired output - it shouldn't matter which process they use.

For the third, what if I spent a long time prompt engineering on a model trained entirely on properly licensed data and was able to generate a prompt format that produced the outputs we see from this fine-tuned model? In other words, for any generative model, there is a space of reachable outputs, and it's not so clear that these images did not already lie in that space before fine-tuning.
Modern phones have an option to stop charging at 85%, which mitigates some of the issue as well as extending the battery lifetime. The main thing is the battery needs to go through charge cycles, sitting is death.
Don't get me wrong there are still incredible opportunities out there. IoT is starting to pick up steam. Individuals that really like knowing what the metal is doing have many green fields to settle. You can get prototype boards designed and delivered for prices that an individual can afford. That was not possible 30 years ago. If you can find areas that cross disciplines things get more interesting.

WebStuff is dead IMHO. It is primarily advertising and eyeballs - yawn. If I see one more JS framework I'll puke. We have so many different programming languages it is difficult to get a team to agree on which one to use:) Don't get me started on databases. I have apps that use 3 or 4 just because the engineers like learning new things. It is a mess.
Twitter has over $5B in annual revenue, it will be fine.
> But whatever it was, why does it bother you? What exactly is so horrible about posting something "wrong" and deleting it?

It wasn't just "wrong", it was a propaganda article designed to dismiss a right-wing terrorist attack that almost killed the husband of the third highest ranking official in the country by painting the attack as a "false flag" designed to cover up homosexual infidelity. And Musk is the richest man in the world with enormous, unimaginable reach and influence. For better or worse, the more power you have, the more social obligation you have to use that power responsibly, and that includes understanding how your words will affect the thoughts and actions of others. Musk is under fire because he refuses to use his power responsibly.
>It's ok to have different standards for humans and computers.

Is it? The computer is a tool doing it on behalf of a human, so different rules for computers ends up being different rules for using different tools. Should the efficiency of a tool be a factor in the limits we put on a human? Given that humans can use the same tool with different levels of efficiency, this also seems to open up to the question if different levels of skill using a tool have different rules.
I don't think it's pretty, but I somewhat enjoy this sort of look.

It reminds me a bit of a compressed version of older, less affluent northeastern towns, where buildings are a mish mash of styles and designs. It's an overused term, but it gives a sense of character or that it's a discrete place with it's own history. This building is a good example.

> Misinformation. Noun. False or inaccurate information, especially that which is deliberately intended to deceive.

You are free to define words for yourself however you want, but "deliberately intended to deceive" is not a common requirement for "misinformation" AFAIK. e.g. it does not appear in e.g. Merriam-Webster or many other dictionaries; most just define it as "Information that is incorrect" or some variant thereof, which is also how I would use the word, neutral of any value judgement.

And even if it was, "especially" does not mean "exclusively". In my observation most "misinformation" is not spread deliberately; the root of it may be, but not the people who spread and amplify it.
Work is ongoing to use FiatCrypto-based implementations for the primitives, which is discussed a bit here:
