I generally say I make stuff move with code. Interactivity, programmatic animation, dynamic video, colors, vectors, raster pixels, data visualization. No two projects are alike, from serverless on-the-fly dynamic image (or video) rendering, to experiential marketing projects with lights, cameras, kiosks. I dip into python when I need to, such as for image segmentation, image augmentation, face detection, pose estimation, or speech synthesis. While I'm far from being a preeminant expert in most of the tools I have experience with, I can take on any part of the stack in order to ship a working product.

I've been working remotely while traveling for 15 years, and, lately, sailing around the eastern Caribbean. Contract work has historically been the best fit for me, however I am open to remote FTE as long as there's a focus on async comms rather than telepresence.
Keeping your frame times low is one thing, but it's not fair to compare a 60Hz display to a 120Hz one
Biden administration urges app store revamp in clash with Google, Apple
No, where I live you are considered to be a freak if you are religious. Announcing that you have joined a religion is like announcing you are trans in Alabama 50 years ago.
That only answers half of the question. Maybe ML uses some weird shortcut, but how do we know the human brain doesn't use the same shortcut? If it's possible to use some simple hack to do something, why didn't we evolve to work that way?
I mean, this is contemporary UK politics in a nutshell. Decades of tory (and tory light) rule have gutted programs in search of short-term benefit for ages, we'll see how the country fares but it's not looking pretty.
It's been a very long time since I've visited a recipe site that didn't have a prominent 'jump to recipe' button. Recipes have stories because some people value them, and they have a button for those who don't.

This is a tired, old complaint made by people who don't actually ever cook or read recipes, they just want to shop AI solutions / flog their 'innovative' start-up / write about a different topic entirely but draw readers in initially with a 'kids these days' tone.
Just means Gatsby's talent is more desired than those they employed.
Do these Trads have long standing institutions in their local communities for support of their culture? Why yes, they are called Churches, which don't have to operate underground in the USA like they do in China (expect when they are strange polygamy cults that often skew towards multiple underage wives), and they receive special state recognized privilege such as tax exemptions, within a society and government unabashedly based on 'judeo-christian' values. So, in line with the government under which they live, supported by longstanding cultural institutions well established in the community. Super counter culture.
Oh hey, something I have first hand experience with working with fairly large food / recipe focused sites.

It's primarily driven by ads. I know, huge shock there. A lot of people might assume it's purely an SEO play and while that's true to an extent, it's mostly for the ads.
Tuning into brainwave rhythms speeds up learning in adults
Consumer card fees are capped pretty low in EU (and still UK I guess), something like 0.30%.

Commercial card fees are not capped and are more around 1.5% to 2.0%

If anything, now that they have split consumer and commercial cards in their fees, it's the consumer card fees that are shockingly high.
That tends to be the common answer I hear, but I usually don't hear why its fake. What makes gender studies fake or unserious?
It would be nice to know if turning this off solves OP and other related issues.
Crypto Scam Apps Infiltrate Apple App Store and Google Play
I agree, but it seems like a lot of modern research requires resources that make it difficult for independent people to contribute.
Honestly, look at Cracking the Cryptic's app. It's all hand generated puzzles so it's much more expensive, but their app is definitely the best.
Netflix has no real incentive to innovate because every other streaming service delivers an even worse UX. The only thing keeping the others afloat is their content.

The one saving grace is that all of this streaming mess is still a better experience overall than cable and satellite TV.
> We probably should first acknowledge that the vast majority of research is incremental and not groundbreaking.

The way we fund research heavily skews the research attempted so that that's even more the case than it otherwise would be.
I wouldn't necessarily say it learns how a human would. But instead learns how an arbitrary brain would.

There's all kinds of brains in this world from all kinds of life. A dog can learn. A cat can learn. And they don't learn like a human would.
Actually it completely burned. Lonely gravel road; too half an hour for fire dept to get there. Total loss.
That is a reasonable personal position but it's not universal. It implicitly seems to assume that a long life of relative ease and physical health is best no matter how that is achieved. Personally I'd prefer a relatively short life of profound meaning and autonomy (even if it involves painful loss and physical suffering) over living in a rat's cage for 80 years, kept alive by my captors.
There's a great YouTube channel I'm not 100% of the name since I subscribed ages ago.

Tasting history with Maximilian

And I've never recommended it to anyone but I bet if someone enjoyed your comment as much as I did they'd enjoy that channel!
From a market of ideas vs information horizon perspective it is.
I don't think it's bad in the long run either. I think sometimes we need to get rid of old things to make way for new things. It still kind of sucks for those of us who live through it, though. A lot of my frustration is with the current system's inertia as the current decaying institutions do their best to keep alternatives from taking root so all we can do is wait until they're finally weak enough to be ignored. In the meantime, what should we do?

I can only speak to the American (and somewhat the Canadian) situation. I don't know what on the ground sentiment looks like in France or Hong Kong.
Not back in '82?
Building gRPC APIs with Rust and Tonic
Rust is not yet considered one of the core languages supported by the gRPC project, but in this walkthrough, we will demonstrate how developers can get started building gRPC services in Rust today using the highly capable Tonic framework. We will demonstrate setting up a new project, creating our services with Protocol Buffers, generating client and server code, and then ultimately using the API to call methods over the network and stream data.
Maybe my own funeral, but otherwise, no.
Gatsby was an open-source project. What they acquired exactly? Have they purchased a usb stick installed gatsby in it?
As someone who has grown more traditional and religious over the years (I'm 32), I agree.
It's very weird that you kept emphasizing "PG was like that before he got rich." You mentioned this point in both of your comments, but the ones you replied to didn't imply PG became like that after he got rich. None of them did.

Straw-manning is a telling sigh that you got defensive about PG, for some reason.
It's not just React, a lot of JS ecosystem is a nested mess and it's only getting worse.
How is privilege or money relevant in any way?

Counterculture has nothing to do with either.
I'm very unfamiliar with this family of tools, but if anyone knows a tool like this that can monitor arxiv or Google scholar for new papers matching a particular query, I'm very interested. I checked Zapier recently but I didn't see these among the support apps.
Jack Dorsey with Twitter and Square. Richard Branson has started a bunch of successful Virgin businesses. Elon Musk, even without Tesla, there's still Zip2, PayPal, SpaceX, etc.

But indeed, I don't think it happens that often.
How do we apply? Is there an email to reach out to?
Exile is a frequent form of punishment and an alternative to execution. Widespread Condemnation of his group means no single country is alone in his exile. Further his group’s first leader was a supporter of the old colonial power. And they give him a place today. Your bias is supporting him while cursing another country that exiled him.
The problem with $10/month plans is that replying to a single support email relating to them can swallow your margin for the month and result in a net loss on that customer.

You have to sell SO many of those plans for them to become worthwhile.

It's a lot easier to sell 100 $50 accounts than it is to sell 500 $10 accounts, and you end up with customers that are more likely to increase to even higher tiers in the future.
Gotcha and yes - when I started playing, a few apps asked for location permissions, and served ads up before I even started playing. The only ads that are served here are one at the bottom and one when a hint is requested.

Few items to add onto the list thanks to this thread, really appreciate it.
Was going to comment this, but figured someone had to have already.
When Coca-Cola embraced the flower children with its ads in the late 1960s / early 1970s, did that mean that the US counterculture of that time had become "the culture"?

Of course it did not. The flower children, the back-to-the-landers, the bikers, the free love communers all remained a tiny slice of the population (and a shrinking one by that time).

What the late 60s/early 70s US counterculture had going for it was a kind of credibility as "the new thing". It was not "the culture" (and it never really became it without mutating heavily), but it was interesting to many people who did not participate in it. It remained a counter-culture until it had changed so radically (and this was years after Coco-Cola first tried to ride the hippy chic train), and then, indeed, it was no longer subversive in any meaningful way.

As actor Peter Coyote noted of that era, that particular counterculture won the culture war in the long term - you can find yoga classes and wholewheat bread in almost every small town in the USA now, our attitudes towards sexuality and the environment and women and racism have been fundamentally altered - but it lost almost every political battle that it was concerned with. Wars continued, economic inequality, corporate control, the military-industrial complex ... all continued unabated.
Speaking of which, what's the move like? Can a company sponsor a green card if they like the candidate enough? How does this work?

Glimpse.ai | Senior/Lead Machine Learning Engineer | Remote | Full-time | VISA Sponsorship Available | $200k - $350k + Benefits + Equity | https://www.glimpse.ai

Glimpse.ai is a profitable, stable, and growing artificial intelligence startup that is building an NLP product that automatically writes content about any subject with the same level of quality, factual accuracy, and usefulness as a human. This product already has thousands of monthly paying subscribers.

Our research is centered around making language modeling more accurate, fluent, and useful for users. We are able to write accurately about topics that are too recent for a model to have been trained on (such as writing about FTX) and about topics that are extremely fact dense where current models would hallucinate and write inaccurately.

You would be at the intersection of research and production code - constantly ingesting research papers, building prototypes, and later turning those prototypes into production code.

Our ML work almost exclusively involves very heavy deep learning (transformers) and we primarily use PyTorch.

You will be working directly with our Founder/CEO (me!), who is leading the ML team, both as a manager and an individual contributor.

For this level of seniority we are specifically looking for people who extensive experience training very large language models and/or reinforcement learning from human feedback for NLP tasks. (If you do not meet this level of seniority, still feel free to reach out!)

We are fully remote and can hire internationally as long as your work schedule has overlap with US working hours.

Contact us by emailing alex@glimpse.ai with "HN" in the subject line or apply at https://careers.glimpse.ai
Speed bumps make it harder for fire apparatuses to respond to calls. Traffic calming is preferred because the expectation is for opposite ROW traffic to yield to the fire apparatus.
Yeah, those people are parents that send their kids to catholic school.
This isn't the same stuff we saw on mainframe drives - those drives had two heads on the same platter, making it possible to read and write on different parts of the same cylinder at any given time.

Appear (https://appear.space/) | Founding Engineer (Unity) | Oslo or REMOTE (CET +/- 2 hours) | Full Time | https://appear.homerun.co/founding-engineer-unity/en

Appear is on a mission to fix the broken product design process for rich AR experiences.

We’re starting an ambitious journey to create next-generation tools to design experiences for the metaverse. Our vision is to free the curiosity of designers from limitations of other platforms and static 2D frames and ultimately enable a design process that produces high quality and engaging XR experiences.

We are looking for a founding engineer that will grow the core product and assemble one of the main technical teams. Someone that is interested in prototyping as well as setting up a strong technical foundation.

As a founding engineer your expertise will be invaluable in shaping both the technology and experience of the tools we are developing.

In-depth understanding of Unity internals and examples of past XR experience are the key technical requirements. Unity’s flavor of C# will be the main programming language. Some examples of technical challenges that will be tackled are: a coherent user interface foundation, 3D environment simulation and logic systems.

For more details, and to apply take a look at: https://appear.homerun.co/founding-engineer-unity/en

> First, you lump all of queer culture into one group, a false categorization without which your augment fails.

In fact, I do lump them onto one group. Many subgroups inside a group. You know who I am referring to when I say queer culture. The group exists, it isn't false. Colors keep getting added to the flag. Rather than engage with reality you prefer to have useless rhetorical debates. Let's move past that.

>Second, you assert that being in the overwhelmingly dominant racial group, the overwhelmingly dominant sexual orientation and the undeniably dominant gender should somehow be interpreted at "counterculture" even though the group that fits that definition is numerically larger, wealthier, and politically empowered than any other group.

Culture is often not aligned with majority opinions, majority positions or majority orientations. The culture of the 60s was hippies. Most people were not hippies. Your premise is false here that culture is the same as majority, or political empowerment.

I welcome a more honest response.
> Trough the corporate algorithm, that doesn't even let me rewind a video?

It's worse than that. You used to have to "sell out" to corporate interests before your countercultural cache evaporated. Most YouTube creators "sell out" to advertisers the second they start their channel because getting any revenue on YouTube requires following YouTube's rules. And these rules are getting increasingly draconian with swearing now being sort-of banned. Also forget remixing existing cultural artifacts like older countercultural movements because that's just asking for an automated DMCA strike.
Completely and utterly on brand for the Tories.
I believe it's a Jewish practice relating to avoiding idolatry.

IMO a little bit ironic considering the post contents.
Didn't Netlify have layoffs recently? Wouldn't expect a non-public company that needed to layoff +10% of their workforce to have the kind of cash to buy out another company.
And instead people make tweetchains a dozen long, making Twitter the worst of all worlds. It got better when they raised the cap from 140, but it's still too low to saying anything of substance or nuance.

Not a chance - the amount of infrared and near infrared emitted from older style bulbs is a drop in the bucket compared to spending 1 minute outside (we’re talking 1000x more exposure outside).

Netlify just acquire 2018.
Got a point there or just complaints?

Since there is no way to determine what fringe studies will become important it is beneficial to have as many people highly educated in as many disciplines as possible. State guaranteed education loans accomplished this. The same people also refused to address the perverse incentives opting to allow corruption, fraud, and waste to become endemic in higher education. Now I don’t want to be uncharitable, fraud, waste, and corruption are rampant across America and increases the closer one gets to vast hoards of wealth or cash.
Do you have neighbors in USA who will walk three miles to the grocery store? USA is ridiculously obese, so those walks would be good in many ways.
On this topic: part of counterculture used to be the ability to *signal* your identification with the group to other group members. Styles of dress, certain symbols or artifacts have all been commonly used. How does one signal to others their social media rejectionism in the age of social media communication ubiquity?

That's a problem for the people who create the models to solve.

This is what's so frustrating about the ML/AI community, they think the onus is on everybody else to overcome problems created by their products.
