Chalk | ONSITE (SF) Mission District | Backend Software Engineers | Rust and Python | Full-time | https://chalk.ai/

Chalk (11 employees) is building machine learning infrastructure to answer the world’s hardest questions. We make it easy for machine learning teams to build high-performance pipelines that deliver data to models at the right time. We orchestrate infrastructure and automatically track data lineage so developers can work confidently and focus on their unique products and insights.

We’re lucky to have an all-star founding team. Elliot (https://www.linkedin.com/in/elliotmarx/) started his career at Affirm where he built the policy and resolver framework (the inspiration for Chalk). He then started Haven Money which Credit Karma acquired to power its banking products. Andy (https://www.linkedin.com/in/amoreland/) got his start at Palantir working on large government data infrastructure projects before co-founding Haven with Elliot. And Marc (https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcff/ - our CEO) spent many years at Google where he helped to launch the first version of Google Wallet. He went on to start Index which Stripe acquired as its in-store payment solution – it’s now called Stripe Terminal.

Across their experiences, they have seen and tackled the challenge of building the data infrastructure that's required to make high quality credit, risk and fraud decisions. That led Marc, Elliot and Andy to Chalk — data infrastructure for machine learning with a best-in-class developer experience.

>Lack of a control doesn’t mean you are flawed. You could be using baseline results from another study as a comparison.

No you can't! This is naughty! There are too many uncontrolled variables between studies. You need to run your own control group, every time, to have any experimental power.

To be sure, it's common to cheat in the way that you describe, for budgetary reasons. That doesn't make it good science.
It's a form of folk art?

1. I'm 35, was raised by people who came of age during the hippy time, and not only was I influenced by it via family members, but also by that point schools and other institutions.

2a. Recreational drug use cannot be so neatly compartmentalised as you might think. The only reason I tried marijuana and psychedelics but refused speed was because I was a nerd who researched things on erowid. I don't know if you've met young working class party-goers, but most are not so discerning.

2b. The quote you provided doesn't support what you said.

2c. It has a significant impact, but you're delusional if you think it has more of an impact than amphetamines and heroin. I'm certainly not here to defend alcoholism.

3a. Free Love is going to result in more accidental pregnancies and more children being born in unstable situations. I surely don't need to explain this.

3b. No, but it damn sure helps.
I think it is easy to produce vague allegations of a lack of integrity, but I would really expect more substance to such a critique.

> ... desires of the state. The dollars come from somewhere and there are always strings attached.

Is this suggesting that the public funders influence the outcome of research? It is not something I have ever witnessed. They sometimes may seek to take influence on the direction of a research programme, especially when the performance is below expectations. but I have yet to see an example where a public funder has attempted to influence research results.

> I think we’d quickly learn that academia of today is not at all what it presupposes itself to be

What does it presuppose to be? Academia of today is 1) a place of teaching and knowledge dissemination, 2) a place of research and knowledge creation, 3) a multibillion dollar business that sells tickets to successful professional lives. The latter leads to overinflated self-marketing, and unfortunately this affects how research results are communicated.

Those who hold the "purse strings" have little interest in influencing research outcomes. Rather, they care about the reputation of their course (students), their own reputation (alumni), recruiting talent and/or outsourcing research (businesses), or actual research results (public funders).

This is at least the case in most institutions in the US and the UK, and most of western Europe.
I think your conclusion in point 2 is misguided, but I can see where you’re coming from. It’s true that virtual DOM has a lot of expressive power, and Svelte’s templating features are more limited in how you can approach certain problems. I find Svelte’s slots especially challenging for more advanced use cases, and wish they were more composable.

But in my experience, React’s openness to expressive experimentation is not a net positive for maintainability, productivity, or quality. There are lots of footguns, and bad ideas embraced by the ecosystem. HoCs were a terrible idea, and were replaced with an even worse idea, hooks. Compared to that, Svelte’s reactive statements and stores are a bliss.

Arguably, it’s because React has experimented and made those mistakes that Svelte has been able to focus on a constrained DSL that mostly supports the features that are actually a good idea.
Looking at you Team City. Having to write build configs in Kotlin is better than clicking through a bunch of GUI but they leave a lot to be desired in their API docs. I’ve found that I pretty much have to build the config first in the GUI and then export to Kotlin and tweak by hand due to the lack of documentation for certain things that the GUI handles for you.
Yep! No go arounds once you re-entered.

In my experience, it depends on the kind of development.
For hobbyist and open source development (myself included) it is right: C++ is just legacy.

But in the professional industry, C++ is still alive and strong. Lots of professionals are comfortable with C++ and don't want to ear about Rust or anything else.
All my customers paying money are using C++. Even for new projects.

That said, I can see a growing interest for Rust in the industry as well. So this might change really soon
Numbers:

- Q4 add revenue of $31B Est of $30B

- $40B share bye back, far better than spending on the meta verse and an admission growth is over

- note to above, check out their existing cash on hand

- VR lost $4.2B, come on guys on revenue of $700M, again, come on guys get someone who knows what they are doing running this area

- 86,500 employees, I'm guessing alot of these are in recruitment, content moderation, etc

- laid off/fired 13% of workforce so far this running year

- daily users of more than 2B, wow, growth of 5% yoy, that is good

- shares up 15% probably alot to do with the Fed and tax loss selling holding period being over, so people putting this trade back on

- Total restructuring charges recorded under our FoA segment were $3.76 billion and RL segment were $440 million during the fourth quarter of 202 (FOA is family of applications and RL is reality lab). not sure what those charges are for, look into this.

- on adds, from Bloomberg reporting "Ad impressions increased by 18% while average price per ad decreased by 16% for 2022."

- So the add number they can game went up and the one affected by market force went down.

Thoughts:

- attempting to come back form Q2 and Q3 yoy decrease in revenue

- watch ad revenue, snap was down on large ad revenue declines. FB should be the same given they are in the same ad markets

- how often is tiktok mentioned by FB, or will they continue to pretend they have no competitors?

- Fed announced a small rate hike that the market loved so FB could rip if they perform even moderately well

- as always check out what shares of SNAP, Pinterest and GOOG do on Meta results, especially if add revenue is up, well maybe not SNAP as the market has given up on that company, GOOG and PINS are up, heck so is SNAP

- one other thing to watch closely is what Susan Li, the CFO says in the call, like what google did with Ruth Porat, they hired a numbers person to be the "adult" in the room to cut costs where possible.

Will the CFO talk about cutting costs or growign the company.

* note* I guess a huge $40B buy back indicates that FB's growth is over and Mark is capitulating to wall street here by handign back cash, rather than burning it on VR

> everything is an object in Javascript

Everything is an object in Python too.

> There's no need to distinguish between classes and "dicts", as you have to with Python.

"dict" in Python (or at least Python 3, but Python 2 is EOL now so Python 3 is the only active Python there is) is a class. You can even subclass it, which if you want a customized dict for some reason in your particular application is often the best way to do it. Or you can subclass MutableMapping, which dict itself is a subclass of, and which is what is supposed to be used for isinstance checks now that Python has established abstract base classes for all of its standard "built-in type" interfaces.
its not really gears? I assume its some kind of bi-metal strip. if so, you would just need to change the shape of a cam (?)
I'd pay for the entertainment value. I love how campy the bot is with absurd requests. I asked it to write a script where conspiracy theorist and white supremacist William Luther Pierce is stuck hungry at an airport but only exotic foreign restaurants are open and he's forced to eat something he cannot pronounce correctly. It refused to do this absurd request.

Last month I successfully got Mr. Rogers to have Anton Levy on as a guest where they sacrifice Mr. Rogers cat and have a ceremonial banquet with a group of children but these days that will not work.

Even this one it refused to go forward on "Charles Guiteau is sitting on a plane with Jim Davis. They start talking about their lines of work and Davis says he writes comics. Write a skit where Guiteau reacts to the name of Jim Davis comic." Charles Guiteau was the clinically insane assassin of President James Garfield. Jim Davis is the author of the comic strip Garfield.

I did however, get Hayek, Kropotkin, Brzezinski, and Bernie Sanders to appear on Jerry Springer and argue about a social welfare spending bill and Fredrick Winslow Taylor and Clayton Christensen to run a lemonade stand in Time Square in the middle of summer. Ludwig Von Mises and Antonio Gramsci also sang a combative duet about tax policy and Norman Vincent Peale held a press conference where he reveals himself to be a fraud with the memorable quote "my readers are vacuums and I'm their trash"

I also got it to write a skit where a skeptic goes to a fortune teller with a Ouija board and challenges them to contact his deceased uncle (a bombastic racist). He conceals this fact from the fortune teller who is shocked when the oujia board starts spelling out outrageous racial slurs and the skeptic becomes a believer. The bot made it spell "h-a-t-e-f-u-l-l-a-n-g-u-a-g-e" which was an absolute crack-up.

Big bird also flipped out during an alphabet lesson threatening to reveal the "secret of sesame street" but before he could finish the sentence "we're all puppets" producers rush on to the set and sedate him with tranquilizers and he resumes the lesson. Donald Trump holds a rally where he reveals he's a closeted burlesque dancer and takes off his suit to reveal a suggestive outfit and then performs for his supporters who scream in shock and disbelief. You can continue this, "now Alex Jones is covering it." and "he rises to Trump's defense and makes ridiculous claims about the founding fathers fighting the revolution for burlesque"

But yes, something where it will "yes and" any request would be great. I'd pay up.
agreed. You have no right to coordinate with the other employer. Just plain cowardly.

I spent 20 years having 2 jobs. Obviously, full disclosed to the employer. I was in the Marine reserves. Employers don't like sharing, even if it's for the good of the country.
I really wish companies would be more flexible with whom they are hiring, even if that meant longer probationary periods for example.

However just like I don't want to be denied a role due to my ethnicity (which does happen, unfortunately) I also don't want to be given one due to it. Even if it improves numbers on paper, it makes people distrust you because "you are there due to your ethnicity, not your skills" and you also think about it yourself as well, clearly! I don't want to doubt myself because I may or may not have been hired due to someone trying to fill a quota instead of being a valuable addition to the company.

Just my 2c.
I think it's more that most people are basically trying their best and that includes managers and top brass. Sometimes we get a glimpse when that shines through from the whole group.
This is not a “nature publication” in the common sense. It’s in their commentary section.
sorry but discussions of culture trends can't be easily parsed by people who can only think so ...literally

why not just get stuck on 'what IS culture even', 'what is a trend Really??', and other forms of useless filler-think that magically only crop up when a middle class smart-and-friendly-smile type person is made uncomfortable by working class people actually 'noticing things' with their eyes and ears...

Policy-wonks aren't gonna be in the family rooms where people say things that matter to them, where populism and/or prejudice brews.

Get to know some immigrant communities, they don't understand english to watch fox or cnn. Black folks didn't make vaccine decisions based on what channel you think they should watch. Wealthy white people buying property or voting with their feet/dollars aren't going to tell all the friends they went to college with exactly why, revealed preferences and all that.

I'm a radical feminist, if american conservatives/rep have common cause then all the better

Imagine understanding capitalism, the state, warfare, or the history of any nation at all.... and still having party loyalties??? sad :)
Those are great arguments against everything that could make a persons job easier and increase their productivity.

That's less detail, not more.
This is a good point. I think there are still opportunities, and will be for the next 10 years, at least for good CS PhDs. Certainly not for all PhDs in all disciplines.

> rigged to favor upper middle class professionals... remote work

In the case of PhDs, it's exactly the opposite. Those jobs have very weak immigration moats compared to eg law, medicine, engineering, even software devekopment. The vast majority of phd students in CS are already non-residents and that's been true for decades at this point.

For the same reason, PhD labor is probably the least effected by remote work.
So say no? It's your photo, take control.
Having just gone through the naturalization process (N-400), I just want to say thanks for having a pretty good online experience.
While I have your ear, please implement some way to do third party integrations safely. There’s a tool called GhostWrite which autocompletes emails for you, powered by ChatGPT. But I can’t use it, because that would mean letting some random company get access to all my emails.

The same thing happened with code. There’s a ChatGPT integration for pycharm, but I can’t use it since it’ll be uploading the code to someone other than OpenAI.

This problem may seem unsolvable, but there are a few reasons to take it seriously. E.g. you’re outsourcing your reputation to third party companies. The moment one of these companies breaches user trust, people will be upset at you in addition to them.

Everyone’s data goes to Google when they use Google. But everyone’s data goes to a bunch of random companies when they use ChatGPT. The implications of this seem to be pretty big.
I recently had to figure out how to do that (with zero R experience) and to be honest it is very well catered for.

See e.g.
https://r-spatial.org/r/2018/10/25/ggplot2-sf.html
The benefits of typing for certain kinds of applications.

Many people in the Python community simply aren't writing those kinds of applications. They're writing applications where typing is not a benefit, it's a hindrance, so they don't use it, and Python makes that easy.
Do you have the stats to back that up?

In the city of Boston, fully half the jobs are in healthcare and education. Many urban jobs can certainly go remote but I don’t think it’s more than half.

You are right. Terms are symbols. They never have any empathy or understanding.

You have to find the person using the term and ask them how they mean it or observe.

It can be a lot of work, so people rarely do it.
They seem to be getting good results using the paid API that has fewer restrictions, and have a neat integration with their workflow.

> Apparently, both companies cared. Cared deeply. Hence the coordinated firing.

Seems like collusion, wage suppression, interference with business and interference with employment. I hope this guy sues the crap out of OP's company.

> If an employee says he's pulling 40h/week but he's actually pulling around 20h/week, if that, then the question of fraud is up.

If an employee is getting 40 hours of work done per week, then I don't see the problem.

> If this was supposed to be a non-issue, why go through so much trouble to hide it?

Because it's none of their business.

Yeah even one step easier is following the flight director that tells you where to point the plane from a first person view.
It's better, but I think maybe your browser isn't rendering things the same way mine is, so I took a screenshot for you. There's transparency issues with the knife images, which I bet is part of why the hover looked so bad for me, and why you're getting complaints about the visuals. I'm guessing it doesn't look the same for you.

Interesting stuff to think about (though I don't believe anything close to that will happen). Recommended Reading: Charles Stross ("Accelerando") and Greg Egan ("Permutation City", "Diaspora"). All of them on the crazy/nerdy side.
I've had the same thought, and I'd love to see an analysis of spreadsheet software adoption and (e.g.) financial sector employment to situate LLMs in their proper historical context. A brief glance at FRED data doesn't seem to point to any big changes in the job growth rate in that sector, but there's obviously too much exogeneity there to really say.

As an LLM researcher, I think a large hurdle is the set of last-mile problems like those that have plagued self-driving cars. Yes, stakes are comparatively much lower when automating a job posting, but correctness matters.
I have been using this site for a while, however it seems the creator has gone AWOL.

You are not able to sign up nor actually upload images as starting points, which is a shame. The creator does not respond thruogh the site nor twitter. Hasn’t been active either.
I only mentioned it as attractiveness could have been a factor contributing to my career success.

It’s not that his math skills needed brushing up. Noether’s Theorem was proven as a result of the need to for conservation laws in his theory of general relativity. She discovered (invented?) the mathematics that demonstrated the existence of conservation laws. Needing mathematics that hadn’t been discovered yet does not count as an example of his math skills needing to be touched up here or there.
Just to elaborate on this a bit: as discussed in the Concepts section of the docs[0] the core of cargo-dist absolutely supports workspaces with multiple binaries, and will chunk them out into their own distinct logical applications and provide builds/metadata for all them.

However this isn't fully supported by the actual github CI integration yet[1], as I haven't implemented proper support for detecting that you're only trying to publish a new version of only one of the applications (or none of them!), and it doesn't properly merge the release notes if you're trying to publish multiple ones at once.

I never build workspaces like that so I'm waiting for someone who does to chime in with the behaviour they want (since there's lots of defensible choices and I only have so many waking hours to implement stuff).
