Roboflow | Multiple Roles | Full-time (Remote) | https://roboflow.com/careers

Roboflow is the fastest way to use computer vision in production. We help developers give their software the sense of sight. Our end-to-end platform[1] provides tooling for image collection, annotation, dataset exploration and curation, training, and deployment.

Over 100k engineers (including engineers from 2/3 Fortune 100 companies) build with Roboflow. And we now host the largest collection[2] of open source computer vision datasets and pre-trained models[3].

We have several openings available, but are primarily looking for strong technical generalists who want to help us democratize computer vision and like to wear many hats and have an outsized impact. (We especially love hiring past and future founders.)

We're hiring 3 full-stack engineers this quarter and we're also looking for an infrastructure engineer with Elasticsearch experience.

In the modern gaming market, GMod is akin to shooting up in the middle of a crowded playground. I'd wager Garry's next game will be no different. If it doesn't succeed, I can pretty much guarantee that the sausage men will not be materially important to its failure.
Humans used to learn to code from copyrighted works (textbooks) without much reference to OSS or Free Software. Similarly, teaching ML models to code from copyrighted works isn't going to violate copyright more frequently than a human might; and detecting exact copies should be pretty easy by comparing with the corpus used to train it. Software houses already have to worry about infringement of snippets, and things like Codex are just one more potential source.
Fair question - overall volumes are certainly down from the 2021 highs, but there is growth in certain ecosystems (e.g., Solana). Our view is we expect this space to be cyclical like a lot of emerging technologies, especially as new use cases develop beyond digital art and collectibles.
Cognitive dissonance, different persons, hypocrisy.

Just like last time this came up, what actual law is the executive branch accusing TikTok of breaking? I'm no fan of TikTok nor of the CCP and its asymmetric corporate warfare, but the executive branch must not be allowed to invent its own laws.
There were no missions... there are now 4 or 5 more on the manifest for the next 12 months.
You are supposed to. In reality, many don't. If you're client facing or have cameras on you, you can be fired for not paying attention (or at least looking like you are).

Also, depending on your location it can be a very dangerous job (I believe more security officers are killed than police officers nationally).
I see. Helpful indeed. Congratulations again and best of luck !
This is a great observation and link to hotmail. I suspect there's some serious valuable lessons to be learned by brainstorming on the similarities/differences there.
You would have no connection to the underlying vulnerability whatsoever if I just mentioned CVE-2017-5754 to you.

I don't see any open Product Manager roles. There's a Product Designer but that's pretty different.
Note: what makes webpack “great” is its extensibility. Until Turbopack reaches that point (and officially they said they won’t) it won’t replace it.

“Successors of webpack” is just more marketing as webpack isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.

Turbopack is just another packer among a sea of them.
I did that before it was cool.
It’s probably more useful to look at the editor’s draft that was updated 2022-09-28 [1].

Productivity definitions cited in the report:

Productivity cannot be reduced to a single dimension (or metric), so frameworks
include multiple dimensions. Performance/Outcomes, Collaboration, and
Efficiency are examples of potential dimensions to consider (Forsgren et al.
2021).

• Managers are more likely to define productivity as outcomes, and individual
contributors are more likely to define productivity as output (Storey et al. 2021)

• Productivity is something that happens over time, and choosing a specific time
interval is yet another dimension (Smith et al. 2021).

• This diversity of definitions is in addition to many other dimensions introduced
by looking at productivity at different scales: e.g., organizational, national.

• One broader definition of productivity that has been proposed emphasizes
several new dimensions in addition to what is typically considered by managers:
well-being, collaboration, and innovation (Teevan 2021).
It's mostly due to the competition from the "normal" Falcon 9, which is quite capable and could be used for most of the existing payloads.

Besides that, currently the payload is limited by the size of the fairing. SpaceX is working on the bigger fairing, but it is not available yet.

I’ve loved creating things with computers for as long as I can remember and have run a part time web design business for the last 13 years. Although this has primarily been a part-time role, I believe I have demonstrated that I can successfully complete projects in a timely manner that meet or exceed my clients’ expectations. To be successful, I have had to be self-motivated and a quick learner. Now I’m looking to make the jump into a full-time career in web/software development. Primarily looking for Junior-Intermediate Full Stack or Front End Developer positions, but open to other opportunities as well!
Because the models are not creating a 1:1 replacement of the original work.

As mentioned before "style" is not something subject to copyright and the model creates a model of that style. The process of finetuning a model generally means that one would not want to recreate the original images as that would overfit it and render it, essentially useless.

When it comes to code, there is a higher chance of getting a one-to-one clone of the input as the options used in creating an algorithm, or even a simple function are dramatically reduced imo.

This is great to hear; thanks for sharing!
Honestly, I think this would absolutely justify the Contact For Quote.

What's your payload? What size is it? Will it be a dedicated flight, or can we ride share with other customers?

So many questions just to do something silly like "launch something into outer fucking space". Also, nitpick, but is geosync orbit actually outer space?
That post had a couple software penalties on it. I've removed them, and the post is on the front page now.
I see. Well... piss.
I guess what irks people is when a big dog tries to gain "market share" with half truths, which may perhaps unjustly and negatively affect highly regarded open source efforts. I get that it sounds good though, better than "6% faster at the 30k module threshold".

It's not what they're doing here, but you should be able to read the biometric chip using a phone and verify the data that it contains server-side (since it's signed). Not sure how easy it is to get hold of the public keys though.

Which also would be a nice feature if it could be implemented here, might be possible with WebNFC :)
If I were to steel man both sides it'd be something like this:

1. Training an AI model on code (so far) makes it regurgitate code line-for-line (with comments!). This is like "learning to code" by just cut and pasting working code from other codebases, you have to follow the license. The AI doesn't "understand the algorithm" at all (or it hasn't been told "don't export the input you fool"). Obviously a bog-simple AI could make all licenses moot by dumping out what it input, and the courts wouldn't permit that.

2. Training an AI model on illustrations so far produces "style parodies" which may look similar to an untrained eye (the artist here is annoyed because she'd not art like that, even though to us it looks similar enough). Drawing a picture that looks like Mickey Mouse is a trademark violation, but tracing a picture of the Mouse is both a trademark and a copyright violation.

The first violates some pretty clear legal concepts; the second is closer to violating moral concepts but those are more flexible - if an artist spends years learning to paint in the style of Michelangelo is that immoral?
People often hold conflicting views, they done like to think about it though, because it can lead to cognitive dissonance.

That’s one reason why it is probably better to have a derived world view than a contrived world view.
Fast passes at amusement parks, airlines and online dating like other comments mention, concert tickets, hell tickets for anything. Court side seats are as much about being close to the action as being seen by others which is a similar vein of vanity as a blue check.
Ah, I didn't think about a linter. I'll take a look at the code later to see if that's the case.
Seems like a lot of work for something that's just built into bash and is extremely useful.
It's hard for everything in every way.

Biology. Everything is a fish or nothing is a fish. Trees don't exist. Tomatoes are fruits as are cucumbers, pumpkins, bell peppers, and most things we don't consider fruits. But all fruits are also vegetables. Strawberries are neither straw nor berries. Etc.

When they said the two hardest things in computer science was naming things and cache invalidation, it's partly because naming things is a hard problem in every discipline.
If it feels a bit weird to have your country's media steered by social, cultural, and legal norms[1] of another country, that's just the situation that the rest of the world has been in for a very long time, now, due to America's dominance in international media production.

The United States should not be expected to have a dominating position in media export forever, though, and when its relevance outside the domestic market wanes, its media producers will be free[2] to edit their products with no regard for what the rest of the world thinks of them.

[1] Also, both Television and Hollywood codes were a thing for a very long time.

[2] They are currently free to do so, too, and they exercise that freedom. They just don't do it in a way that is consistent with your values. Since they aren't nationally owned companies, they aren't beholden to you in this respect.
“Ask and ye shell receive”: I swear I was just complaining about bash, zsh and the lot the other day saying that we needed a modern alternative shell without ridiculous names and design choices. Installing this tonight! So excited!
This is certainly the legal question of the hour, and it may allow courts to sidestep the equivalence problem to apply different rules to humans than to AIs. History is replete with courts deciding that the rights of some minority don't count because they are deemed different (or less) in some way. Might as well get started with AIs right away. Might as well make sure that when AI is eventually demonstrably sentient there are already tons of established laws and billions of dollars that says they are not.

It seems to me that you cannot take someone's art and plug it into an empty model: we have to start with a model that has been trained on a huge corpus of art, and only then can you show it some pictures and ask it to imitate. This is no different than a human. But my opinion does not matter at all. All it requires is that a jury says "This is an algorithm, therefore it is derivative."
The nuanced discussion can be enjoyed here too!

>we need to look into why these things are happening. It does not seem like a technical problem [...]. It's more of a personal, interpersonal and a social problem

Should society adapt to the social networks or should the social networks adapt to society?

Social networks make the problems of society visible. Does this mean that all social problems have to be resolved? Social networks can also be designed in a way that society can continue as it is.

Even if it is necessary to resolve the personal and social problems, how could they be resolved without technology? There are no new problems, they are just more visible. If researchers haven't resolved them until now, chances are that they won't resolve them soon without game-changing new technology.
> What surprised -me- was that all three boosters were brand new, rather than, say, expending a booster that's already flown half a dozen times or such.

Using new boosters was probably a contract requirement, but even if it wasn't, the Falcon Heavy center core isn't interchangeable with regular Falcon 9 cores, as it has to be strengthened to handle the additional load the side boosters put on it.
From their blog [1] the vulnerability "was reported in private to OpenSSL on 17th October 2022 by Polar Bear who was performing an audit of OpenSSL code". OpenSSL 3.0 was released in September 2021.

Shouldn't fuzzing have caught this at some point? I was under the impression that OpenSSL was being fuzz tested constantly since Heartbleed.

Hello friends,

I come from the game dev world where I led the team on the Crash Bandicoot reboot trilogy and helped ship two of the Destiny 2 expansions. I’m now building out a team here at Hack Club that will make inspiring technical and creative projects with and for thousands of the most technical teenagers you’ll probably ever meet.

In the past 3 months, we’ve shipped an open source game console ( https://github.com/hackclub/sprig ) that you can only get by building a game for it, a guide to assembly language that’s now the 4th most popular GitHub repo written in assembly ( https://github.com/hackclub/some-assembly-required ), and a teaser for a game we're producing about love and graphing (https://hack.af/sr ).

For this role, I’m looking for a technical partner-in-crime with a few notches in your belt.

Your argument is tantamount to expecting Michael Bay to have never seen a Scorcese or deriving influence from it.
Can you comment on how likely it is to actually get a call back when applying to these roles? My experience in applying for government jobs is an application process that takes hours and having to have someone guide you to the "right" open positions and the "right" way to apply to have any chance at all to see any return on hours of your time.

edit: Am I looking at this right? There's no specific job roles, you just submit a general vague application and they call you back if they think there's an open job you'd be good at?

What I'm finding really fascinating about this saga is that there's an "Earth II" scenario, where Trump eeks out a victory in 2020 and this story that The Intercept broke is the setup for him to be impeached again. I fundamentally do not follow the arguments that people are putting forward for why these "committees" are needed. Imagine a Trump appointed DHS secretary using (or abusing) this portal for requesting takedowns of information about everything from 2020 to the current goings on in the Ukraine war.

These tools shouldn't exist.

> In contrast when talking about training code generation models there are multiple comments mentioning this is not ok if licenses weren't respected.

I think one of the differences is that people are seeing non-trivial amounts of copyrighted code being output by AI models.

If a 262,144 pixel image has a few 2x2 squares copied directly, you can't tell.

If a 300 line source file has 20 lines copied directly from a copyrighted source, well, that is more blatant.

I blocked the trending sidebar ages ago and my twitter experience is utterly non-toxic. I don't think I ever see anything I wouldn't want/expect to see. The only time it comes close is when twitter switches my default view from 'Latest' back to 'Home' - it always dawns on me when that happens because stuff gets 'weird', but I don't think it ever goes as far as 'hostile'.
Centralization and decentralization happen in waves as a natural result of ossification and complexity growth.

As an example, IBM was once the dominant market force in computation. As the business grew and became increasingly byzantine, it was unable to respond to market changes or market demands in any meaningful way, and therefore the market became decentralized. This happened to Microsoft. If Apple continues on its current path it will happen to Apple. If Google continues on its current path, this will happen to Google. The entire internet was once significantly decentralized both in structure and in content providers. The content got silo'd by a few major players, and it is now swinging back the opposite direction while the structure is becoming increasingly AWS/Azure/Google. This too will eventually start going the opposite direction as those infrastructure providers ossify.

Nothing is forever.
I agree.
A few years ago, I wrote an article on this subject :

It’s not the majority of stake that controls the chain, it’s the majority of honest users. Rich validators can collude to have 51% staking power and start to exert unwanted force, like censoring blocks for their own profit or doing something else unwanted, but the majority of honest users can decide to coordinate a soft fork and point their clients at a new chain. The controlling validators will only be rich on the old chain.

Yup. There’s also this, FTA:

Is jpeg compression transformative then? Should a compressed image of something not be copyrightable because “it doesn’t store” the “real image”? How about compressed video? Where do we draw the line?

Misconception? I mean, if it talks like one and quacks like a collage machine, that's kinda what it is. It's just using an infinite (well, 4 GiB) magazine reel to cut out from.
Of course there could be some tweaks like a scoped eval to prevent stomping on the script's variables, but it's really not very hard for a C program to escape shell variables correctly and safely.

You could have an eval that only read variables, but trusting a program to only return variables is a really low bar; it's very hard to mess that up.
