Viz.ai | Fully Remote | Full-time | US | No Visa | Solutions Engineer

Join a small US team and make a big, real world impact for patients! We’re a leading healthcare AI company that has proven outcomes using a mobile app and web technologies to get the right people looking at the right patients when urgent findings are found. Recent valuation and 1.2b and a recent 100m in funding. We have about 1600 hospitals around the US and Europe which use our various workflow, AI and communication tools to improve patient outcomes, mostly in acute diseases, and always more customers and products in the pipeline, with incredibly high customer retention.

This role is meant to be broad, as this small team manages and maintains all the customer facing infrastructure. This means it’s a combination of on-premesis virtual machines and cloud infrastructure that together, facilitates all data transfer to and from our customers. A lot of our products are for very time sensitive diseases, so performance is key! Think DevOps with some full stack thrown in here and there, while taking the “cattle not pets” mentality to heart.

As mentioned, we’re a small team trying to grow quickly and adopt newer technologies, so the world is your oyster.

Technologies: Linux, Docker, Ansible, Terraform, Python

If you apply, be sure to mention HN!

Totally agree ... there is never such thing as a labor shortage; just a shortage of people who will choose to labor at the rate that is offered.
This seems unnecessarily aggressive as a general comment. Part of what makes HN interesting is the CEO's (and other high profile individuals at least in the tech industry) that sometimes comment. Certainly I think a CEO should have the time to write something on HN.
I live in the middle of a lot of chemical plants. They have leaks constantly, like 3-5 moderate events per week.

Different chemicals cause disparate effects on my wife and I, but often manifests as anxiety, asthma, lethargy, general sense of being very uncomfortable.

Additionally we have two cats and a dog in a small apartment and sometimes they pee on the carpet/etc.

The carbon scrubber reduces the noticeable chemical plant effects down to just once a week, and greatly minimize that as well. Has completely eliminated stress caused by residual pet pee vapors.

We do have a bissell big green machine that we use regularly to clean the carpets and lots of HEPA air filters for dander, pollen, and other particulates.

But knocking out VOCs using a carbon scrubber has truly been wonderful. Works very very well whenever we get new furniture etc that offgasses for a week or so.
An appeal to authority is a fallacy because it doesn’t actually mean anything. It’s false credibility.

If the authority comes along with a bunch of well researched and documented data from experiences in the real world… that seems worth listening to.

It’s no longer an appeal to authority. It’s just looking at evidence.

> I run Firefox on my iPhone, it's free?

Actually, you run Safari. Firefox and Chrome on iOS are just Safari with some different browser chrome. This happens because Apple has banned all other browser and JavaScript engines on iOS other than their own. Gecko, SpiderMonkey, Blink, etc are all banned on iOS.

Mozilla isn't able to actually bring real Firefox to iOS because of this, and has to settle with a reskinned Safari parading around as Firefox in order to stay relevant. Same thing goes for Google and Chrome, it's just browser chrome on top of Safari's browser engine.

Where _would_ you encourage people to go for similar purpose with higher quality? Are there any particular bootcamps/online schools you think are good?

Some of my friends and family are eager (and IMO perfectly capable) to learn CS and enter the Software Engineering field, so I'm curious what would be a good way for them to do so (without spending 4 years on college again).

Additionally, as trans people are more accepted the rate of the increasing population of trans people is slowing. This suggests that it’s stabilizing and that the population would normally always have a % of trans people if it weren’t for oppression (like left handed ness rapidly increased in the generation we stopped punishing people with left handedness and then it leveled off)
Free speech is about allowing any idea to be expressed. Spam is not an idea, but a way of expressing something, so it's not inherently against free speech to restrict it.
Why don't you just go hide in a corner and stop interacting with humans if you hate them so much?
writing exploits, for example, is an utter pain in today's safe languages :) C is unmatched in the sheer ease of manipulating raw bytes with some light structuring on top for convenience. I've tried writing exploits in Swift a handful of times but I always gave up after I found myself buried under a pile of UnsafeMutableRawBufferPointers.
I'm curious why, if you believed you made a mistake, you didn't edit your comment at the time to avoid propagating misinformation (as the 2 hour edit window was still open when you made this response acknowledging it as a mistake)?

I personally am not familiar with this photo and don't really want to see it, so yes, your comment could have mislead me.
Interesting, that’s basically the model a lot of Japanese towns use.

The difference is, if you leave garbage without the right bag/on the street your neighbours are going to dump it back on your front door.

Larger item dumping is still a problem though. Some places issues coupons for a certain number of trips to the dump/year for local residents that can help.
I think this is very good analysis with respect to Twitter. I suppose I'm really interested in how firms do their free speech vs. profitability cost-benefit analysis with respect to markets and environments where speech is restricted. For example (and I'll admit this is a glib argument) I am curious how Musk would reconcile his free speech absolutism with Tesla being active in China. Open to hearing thoughts on that.

What is "signed by Android"? The leaked Samsung and LG keys are used in dozens of apps. Someone could in theory upload apps but claimed by Samsung on the Play Store, sign them with those keys, and compromise millions of users whose Play Store would suddenly update to the unofficial APKs (assuming that they get around Google's own Play Protect).
Ah Flutter. I burned a month making silly apps with it, but then I realized that I would probably be better off learning any other programming language than Dart (careerwise at least)
Just a quick note to say this is nearly completely unreadable on iPhone / iOS using Safari, because it seems to assume a width greater than is available. I assume I’m not alone in hiring managers browsing HN from a phone.
Company, Team, Self is backward, but not in the way you think.

It's backward because it's advice given to employees, when it needs to be given to be given to management.

Employees will and should do self-interest. It's the EXECUTIVES's duty/problem to ensure that they make workers' self-interests clearly aligned with Customers/ Company/Team/Self.

It's an interesting exercise to consider how to make it in an employee's self-interest to perform actions that prioritize the company's interest over the team. Of course managers have a perverse incentive here to prioritize a narrative that the team is always excelling in all ways, and thus may have an incentive to penalize/fire employees who put the company ahead of the team (e.g. by admitting the team's project is useless/redundant/poorly-defined).

I'm shocked by how few executive understand that their managers are a great threat to their company, because they have a huge vested interest in promoting dishonest narratives about the needs/successes of the company. The larger the management chain, the more likely a BS-er is in that chain.
have you not navigated around the modern web? It’s virtually full of SEO spam. An entire profession has been created around the space, the SEO space is a cat and mouse game with Google’s algo. It is dominated by large firms with enough $ to have a team of SEO pros and tons of content.

> Only the SoC firmware signing key and firmware for other secondary components with the key burned into the hardware can't be rotated.

Side note: those components do have fuses burned via updates that are used to implement downgrade protection dynamically. In theory, they could provide key rotation support. That may make sense as device support gets longer than 5 years. They should also really support more downgrade protection counter increments than they currently do. Snapdragon used to support 16 increments (16 fuses) but I'm not sure what they support in current generation devices. They called it a '16 bit version number' but you can't unset a bit.

OS downgrade protection is generally being done with special replay protected storage from the TEE (Pixel 2), the secure element (Pixel 3 and later) or simply by hard-wiring the version in firmware (very common approach before Android Verified Boot 2.0). It's a lot more flexible both in terms of being able to do key rotation in theory and not having any limit on # of updates. Pixels simply convert the Android / Pixel patch level such as 2022-11-05 into a Unix timestamp and that's the OS rollback counter stored in the secure element after successful boot. Happens alongside updating the firmware rollback counter, which rarely increases. Pixel 6 only bothered shipping the code to increment the firmware counter with Android 13 when they increased it. It's so uncommon that the external development community largely wasn't prepared to cope with it even though it should be done much more regularly.
I always rinse my dishes before using them, even if they've been in the dishwasher. Does anyone else do this?
Why do you want to know that when you've acknowledged in a parallel thread that that wasn't what happened? It's hard for me to read this any other way than a deflection so that you can discuss a different set of events, which didn't happen, where you feel your arguments would fair better.

Given that we're already talking about a hot-button issue which is the subject of conspiracy theories, that seems dangerous.
I had a mouse problem and asked people online for help. A former Russian sailor told a similar story. They tried this method of making a rat killer. Well instead they just bred bigger stronger rats on their ship. Ones that ate cats now.

Then they tried buying really stinky cheese in a port and baiting and ambushing rats on one of the cargo decks using bats to kill them. Got over 100 that way but the next morning a rat literally ran over the captain’s breakfast table. Clearly this didn’t work.

So finally they caught one rat and sealed it in an empty aluminum can with a microphone inserted into it at one end. They then lit a torch under the can to make the rat squeal. The mic was connected to the ship’s PA system. As the rat screamed all the other rats took heed and thousands of them jumped overboard. He said it was a scene out of a horror movie but they didn’t have rats on that ship again for years (cats managed the population after).

I don’t know how true this is but I suppose it could be and he certainly made it sound believable.

My point isn’t to learn 100% but how about 5 or 10? The complexity of the work just doesn’t seem to match the duration of these programs.
I haven't used Pleco that much, so I wonder what you're referring to. Is that:

1. The dictionary app (excluding the dictionary).

2. The built-in (free) dictionaries (PLC and CC-CEDICT).

3. The paid add-on dictionaries.

4. The add-on marketplace.

I think if you want to be fair, you shouldn't compare Pleco to apps based on EDict/JMDict, but rather to apps that can read EPWING dictionaries.

From what I can see and judge:

1. The dictionary functionality in the app doesn't seem any better than EBWin/EBMac/EBPocket [1]. In fact, the EB apps seem to offer more advanced functionality like dictionary groups and different search types (prefix/suffix/infix/exact/full-text).

On the other hand, Pleco is also more user friendly than EBPocket. Replacing dictionary groups by a Chinese-English/English-Chinese is a usability win for 99% of the users.

The Japanese-only documentation and retro homepage probably also deter users from using EBPocket. This is a shame, since the apps are pretty great (they do have English UI). If you just want a dictionary they are miles better than Imiwa/Yomiwa and all the other apps which are based on JMDict.

2. The built-in PLC dictionary seems better than JMDict. It's got better and clearer tagging for the headword and definitions and in-line examples (which you can only get by linking JMDict to another dictionary). These are not issues with JMDict itself though, since it seems to contain all this data (there is even a version that incorporates example sentences from the Tanaka corpus [2]). But most of the JMDict dictionary apps I've seen are not good at displaying it. The EPWING conversions I've found are also not great.

While the PLC dict is great, CC-EDict seems much worse than JMDict.

3. The quality of commercially available Chinese<->English and Japanese<->English dictionaries really depends on the publishers. Compiling and editing good dictionaries take years, and as far as I know Japan has been doing digital dictionaries for a pretty long time. In my eyes, the best general purpose J<->E dictionary (Kenkyusha [2]) is still better than the best commercial C<->E dictionaries, but it is aimed at Japanese speakers studying English and a bit hard to use for beginner Japanese learners.

4. I think the easy to use marketplace is where Pleco really shines. With Japanese dictionaries, you either need to buy the EPWING dictionary in a CDROM (I think it's out of print nowadays) or use the official app, which is pretty limited.

This is the real issue here. I don't know if it's Japanese publishers who don't want to sell the dictionary data to third parties in a marketplace model or the app developers themselves being content with JMDict. It's quite sad, since there used to be a vibrant ecosystem of add-on dictionaries on SD cards for physical electronic dictionaries.

Is that how we now treat execs who bother to come directly address criticism aimed at their companies on HN?

This is one the few places on the web that happens. You can still disagree with him if you want, but coming here to talk with us directly is respectable IMO. Focus on the arguments and not ad hominem.
ELI5, why can’t we have a combination of modern P2P like WebRTC and onion routing to anonymize source and destinations?
I have a lot of respect for FIRE. Hell, I designed and built their website over a decade ago, when the organization was primarily focused on speech codes on college campuses. They were doing great and important work then, and continue to do now.

It's also nice to see them attempting to separate "free speech" into two buckets of meaning, the legal and the cultural. It's a point that gets muddled.

However, the article, like a lot of "free speech culture" defenses I see, fails to explain why "free speech culture" has to, essentially, be "one way". The freedom of someone to say something, but without the freedom for someone to speak against it. If the consequence of saying something is a lot of people mocking you for it, that can be, and often is, just as chilling as any specific action.

It also fails to discuss, at all, how actions and speech are somehow distinct things. If you're saying something I disagree with, am I morally obligated, within "free speech culture" to sit there and hear you say it? Am I morally obligated, within "free speech culture", to support businesses which publicly say things I disagree with, or things which specifically target me, or my family? If not, isn't then the monetary consequence of "free speech" potentially chilling?

And if people should/must be free to speak against speech they disagree with, and if people should/must be free to deny business to businesses they disagree with, then isn't the "free speech culture" defense just a disagreement over whether someone, or some group, is right in the speech they use, and actions they take? The argument isn't about broader principles.

Elon Musk took over Twitter and disagreed with speech, and actions, the previous owners took. He reversed course. He's "free" to do so. He also took issue with speech and actions the previous owners didn't take, and banned accounts whose speech he disagreed with. He's free to do so.

Individuals are free to speak against that. Individuals are free to take their business elsewhere because of that.

That is, as far as I can tell, what a "free speech culture" should/must mean.

Finally, I took note that their most compelling "you have to be for 'free speech culture'" cautionary tale in the article was explicitly not about private individuals, or companies, but a government's (CCP) ability to pressure private companies – something which is explicitly rebutted by "free speech law" as bounded by the author.
Are opaque basebands a national security risk?
I have this vague unease about computing, that there's far too much mutable state between 'power on' and 'seeing my application window'. This is particularly true with smartphones, where in addition to the mysteries of where and how BIOS, UART, boot loaders, TPM, CPU microcode state was obtained (and how it can be updated), you also have the extra-mysterious baseband. Which, as I understand it, is your carrier's trump card on your device - a whole computer-within-a-computer, controllable directly from the radio, can access all devices, all storage and even read/write the working memory of your operating system. (It may seem like a neat superpower to have, but it's a superpower built on artificially weakening the population.

Putting spyware on people's second-brains feels wrong. But it also seems like a critical vulnerability in the event of war. Consider the prize of gaining access to a privileged baseband distribution channel! Wouldn't it be better, from a national security perspective, to disallow the practice of proprietary, privileged channels entirely? Or do the benefits of having that channel outweigh the risks?
We sought to investigate the effects of professional and household dishwashers

Interestingly, detergent residue from professional dishwashers demonstrated the remnant of a significant amount of cytotoxic and epithelial barrier–damaging rinse aid remaining on washed and ready-to-use dishware.

Is the reader to draw the conclusion that significant levels of rinse-aid are not found in dishes cleaned by home dishwashers?

A professional dishwasher completes 1 or 2 wash and rinse cycles using 3.5 L of water per cycle.

That's about 1/4 the water usage of a home dishwasher. Does an increased amount of water in home dishwashers result in negligible levels of rinse-aid?

If you’re in America, is it possible to send the documents via mail? I had to sign a lease renewal recently had a similar situation where they wanted my tax documents and a scan of my social security card via email. I pushed them on alternatives and eventually they gave me a mailing address I could send the documents to. I paid extra to send it certified mail which got me a tracking number as well as signature confirmation that the envelope was delivered and who it was delivered to.
That should be possible. It would be relatively inefficient to chain through multiple browsers.
