Grit | Senior+ Engineers (ML, PL, Design, Backend) | New York, San Francisco, or Remote | Full-time | $120–250k + equity

We’re building software to automatically fix technical debt. We do this by combining expressive static analysis tooling (we’ve built a developer-friendly query language for code) with machine learning to automatically migrate code to new patterns and platforms. We’re in private beta, but have already deployed thousands of successful changes for beta customers and have raised a $7M seed round from top investors.

We’ve got lots of fun challenges at the intersection of machine learning and programming languages. Our stack is Scala, Rust, TypeScript, Python, and Kubernetes. We’re hiring for both smart generalists and PL/ML experts who are interested in collaborating on problems like automatically inserting new types into codebases and using unit tests for reinforcement learning.

Here are a few reasons you might be interested in applying:

- We work fast and focus on shipping, with a single meeting per week (demos!).

- We’re working on the edge of the possible and doing deep technical work in parsers/language design and machine learning.

- We mostly work in-person in New York and San Francisco, but remote is also possible for outstanding candidates who have proven success in a remote model.

- I’m personally committed to giving real feedback to everyone who applies.

I used iOS for many years full time and everything felt very slow, even with Reduce Motion turned on. The menus pop up slowly, the animations take too long. Everything looks nicer but functions worse. I'm sure normies like it but I hated it, it just gets in the way.

On Android the default experience already has faster animations than iOS, and you can tweak them to run quicker which makes it feel like a device that is interested in getting me to the things I want rather than one that wants to show off. And the scrolling on a $500-600 phone (Pixel 7) is much smoother than on a similarly-priced iPhone (90 vs 60Hz). And use real uBlock Origin. It's so much nicer.

We clearly prioritize very different things in life.
I’m rarely impressed anymore for whatever reasons, but even in the midst of a miserable bout of viral induced malady, I have to stand in awe of this.

I can’t even fathom the skill required to move a piece of equipment that large in a straight line let alone produce precise graphics with its flight path.

That's true. Maybe this idea would appeal to people's sense of moral righteousness, though. Looking out for their fellow consumers :)
I don't think the number of atoms directly matters. However, the amount of energy that is released when kerosene burns has a _small_ impact. Because that energy was contributing to the mass of the kerosene (E=mc^2). But, that difference in mass will be tiny. Far surpassed by the mass of the non-carbon atoms in kerosene.
In addition to what other people said, maybe this person was highly toxic and more a liability than anything else.

What's the truth/who is lying? You, or all of these pictures on the Internet? I'm not suggesting you're wrong. It's just that... in order for you to be right (that it's a worthwhile city), all of these pictures and articles about mass homelessness in/near/around San Francisco need to be wrong.

Or you just have a really high tolerance/aren't bothered by it or its nature/exposure is overstated?

>Its the equivalent of pissing on the shoulder of a titan. Totally deplorable that this is allowed or tolerated.

Google is a corporation, not a gerontocracy where the elders are somehow above the hierarchy. Engineers, distinguished or otherwise are simply employees, just like the CEO. The owners of a corporation and whoever they delegate authority to get to decide who stays. This isn't deplorable, that's how private businesses work. If you expect tenure you choose the wrong workplace.

If a relatively old company is able to reign in seniority somewhat that to me is a pretty healthy signal.

Chiming in as an uninvolved participant. It's not "as good as the US Dollar." It's worse in some ways, better in some ways. One man's "95% as good as the dollar for me" is another man's "much better than dollars for me."

Even if that weren't a requirement, you aren't going to be able to to get clearance without citizenship:

> Non-U.S. citizens do not qualify for a security clearance. [1]

So it's a fairly moot point. That being said, there are plenty of positions that can disqualify you for non-citizenship for protected information. Healthcare, government contractors, etc. Your right to work in the US is protected, your right to a job is not.

I've been experimenting with using ChatGPT for worldbuilding, including NPC dialog and stuff. I was rather satisfied with the results, that is until I saw your comment. The text it generated for you is very similar to what it gave me. The style is immediately recognizable, the structure is extremely similar, and in case of "For I am Grimgor Blackfist, the most feared warrior in the land, and no one can stand against me." I literally got the same sentence with a few words changed.

I wonder if it's possible to customize the prompt in order to make the output more unique otherwise everyone who is using ChatGPT for fantasy writing will end up with very samey and super recognizable style.

No, not "sustained" fire, whatever that means in this context, and not semi-automatic fire. Automatic fire [1].

> In 1954, the larger 7.62×51mm NATO rifle cartridge was selected as the first standard NATO rifle cartridge. At the time of selection there had been criticism that the recoil power of the 7.62×51mm NATO, when fired from a handheld lightweight modern service rifle, did not allow a sufficient automatic rate of fire for modern combat.

5.56mm NATO was explicitly introduced to make automatic fire from service rifles, which was thought to be useful during Vietnam, more practical, both in terms of recoil and in the number of rounds that an individual soldier could carry. That doctrine has more or less been abandoned, and the U.S. Army is moving back to a round that's much closer in size and energy to the 7.62mm NATO (.277 Fury/6.8x51mm) [2], [3].

Anecdotally, if you think a semi-auto 7.62 is uncontrollable, you haven't fired one. I have, and I promise it's not that bad. Here's a video of a guy shooting hammer pairs with a FAL: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/_ov9Pm-qmNo

Does it look like he's having a hard time controlling it?

Small, sequential declines in rent are extremely disinteresting. Rents are still ludicrously high by historical standards in relation to income. Rents skyrocketed from 2010 to 2018. According to the Census ACS, median rents in 2010 were $1672 in 2021 dollars, but $2167 in the 2021 Census ACS. The increase in housing price has been way over inflation for years. Across the bay in Berkeley, where I have official rent data from the Rent Stabilization Board, real-dollar rents increased 132% in the 25 years to date. That means to get back to historical levels of affordability prices need to fall 60%, not 0.1%.

Hardly "random".

So which of those is missing from the US? I see fewer and fewer young people, the corruption may not be at the level of handing over banknotes but the distrust is just as real, and everything else on your list is much th esame.
As an interested layman I'd have thought, the higher, the better, because less friction. Now I'm wondering why. Because of lower outside air temperature, making some material expand/shrink too fast? Now I'm puzzled. Does this mean it can't go (high) supersonic at lower altitudes either? Because denser air causing even more friction? I mean something like Mach 2 at 1000 feet. Mission impossible?
Depends on where you apply. Universities and national labs probably expect a research statement which can be seen as a cover letter. But that is not something that can be generated by a bot. It will be your personal research statement akin to a grant proposal.

I don't know which grade is imported by which brand, but we eat a lot of dried figs here (in Turkey), and I know no one felt sick after eating, even considerable amount of these things.

Fresh figs are so expensive because they're extremely delicate and have extremely short shelf life if produced naturally.

Human body is much more resilient than it looks and our food contains much more than meets the eye. Somebody noted FDA's limits about bugs, so I'll not reiterate it here.

I just lost mine a few months ago.

I used to just log on.

I guess at one point, I gave them my mobile phone number. I no longer have that phone or phone number.

So now, google keeps sending a security code to that phone number, which I no longer own. There's no way to put in a new mobile, but I don't want to do that anymore, anyways. Nobody gets my personal info if I so choose, and for google, I so choose - they are not getting shit from me if I can help it. They also ask for a backup code, which I am positive I never had one of those for my google account. They never asked for security questions, I always have those copied if they do.

So I'm locked out of my google account.

My new email provider only requires a password. That's what I want.

Plus, as far as email goes, Google or Yahoo or any of those commercial providers can scan through all your email. People would not put up with this if someone scanned their personal mail that came into their physical mailbox, but for some reason, it is ok if google, the largest information gathering company on the face of the earth, gathers all their data and sells it to the highest bidder. Nobody would allow this on physical mail.

So now all my email goes to tutanota, who don't do this. If they did, fine, I know how the world works, but word would get out sooner or later and they would destroy their business. I'd certainly go somewhere else and they would lose my monthly income stream. I pay for email.
I like John Gruber and usually agree with him. But his anti-remote work thing is baffling, and made even more so by the fact that he himself has worked from home for going on 20 years.
Publishers do force these kinds of decisions on developers though.
Is that Remote Global? Also, what country are you talking about?
Interesting. We had a fig tree growing up, and I must have eaten hundreds or thousands of them as a kid. I never remember seeing wasps, and I'm pretty sure I would have noticed!
They're as true today as ever. On a modern desktop, using GNOME, everything still randomly breaks.

Randomly (maybe when Gnome is upgraded) most of my plugins break and leave everything in a bad state.

There was the time when ArcMenu broke and left me with no launcher or way to get to anything short of finding my way to a terminal and blowing away my config.

There's the fact that my Logitech MX Ergo is unusably laggy unless I configure a text file: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Bluetooth_mouse#Mouse_lag

There was the time that Dash to Panel was retired and replaced with the same code but in a new location.

There's the fact that most usable window managers don't support enough zones to snap windows or keyboard shortcuts to do so, and that if you mention this everyone will tell you to use a tiling window manager and act like you're "not a real engineer" for using anything else.

There's the fact that all Linux window managers forget that multiple monitors exist. WMs with launchers will have launchers only on one monitor. Using i3 on multiple monitors is endless pain.

There's the fact that there are a million Linux package managers, they're all feuding with each other, and software developers who care about users more than political infighting have largely given up. Updating Discord on Linux is a nightmare; if I don't use my Linux laptop for a month or two even Google Chrome will be stuck in a state where I have to manually download and reinstall a new package.

I started using Linux in 1997 with Red Hat 5.2. I've used it throughout my career, and 26 years later it's still not ready for every day desktop/laptop use.
It is, but in Japanese it's on a whole other level. One key thing a lot of people don't really account for is the fact that native speakers of a language are already fluent in their language before they learn to read, and in many cases (certainly not all) have the added benefit of having heard the word before and the task is just to create a mapping between the sound and it's visual representation (for words already in their vocabulary). When you're a non-native speaker, you don't have this advantage and the difference it makes can be quite large. So, it's natural for anyone non-native speaker to struggle with this. The difference is in frequency, severity and duration. You can get a pretty good hint at how much insanely harder it is for non-native Japanese speakers learning to read Japanese by comparing how much native speakers both kids and adults struggle to read unfamiliar words. I can't really ever recall struggling to read unfamiliar words much in English, and I compare that with my wife who is Japanese and how many times we have played a guessing game at how to read an unfamiliar Japanese word in a book she was reading. It took me a long time to realise that even for Japanese people there's just this level of insurmountableness to it that is part and parcel of how the orthographic system is structured. Going back to how kids learn to read unfamiliar words, books in Japanese have furigana in them which are a phonetic guide on how to read words that the author assumes the intended audience has a high chance f not being able to read. Even general purpose books aimed at adults have quite a lot of this. The younger the intended audience, the more furigana tends to be present as it's simply not possible to read without it when you're much younger. What you often see, though not always, is for a difficult word to have furigana the first time it appears and then subsequent appearances of the word don't have it. This is one way you learn to read more over time. For certain words, no matter how many times it appears, if it's obscure enough it may always appear with furigana.

The existence of furigana alone is a huge admission that Japanese a somewhat unreadable language that has somehow or other been made to work through bolting it on. So, you can imagine that if an orthographic system comes with permanent training wheels for native speakers, then non-native speakers are going to have a pretty brutal time with it.

Isn't this obvious? The quiet quitting and demands for remaining at wfh coupled with other corporations cranking up prices for their products (from energy to bread) made for an uppity worker class.

For the same reason they can require you to have a Driver's License, be able to carry 50+lbs, live in the borders of Maryland, etc, etc.

Having the right to work in the US doesn't entitle you to a job. And there are plenty of reasons government institutions would want to disallow non-nationals a position. The whole point of citizenship is, after all, buying into the system; if you're not "in" your allegiances or potential recourse can always be argued to be limited. Dual-Citizens, such as myself, are in a similar boat for the same reasons (unless they opt to renounce foreign ties).

This is why I will never build a company based around a free API from a for-profit company.

I'm a big fan of cover letters. I'll ALWAYS read an applicant who has sent a cover letter, and so in my books it's a good way to stand out from 100s of applicants (that are likely to only get skimmed and thrown out just due to the pure volume). It shows me that you care about the job and haven't just applied to 50 random roles.. not saying that it's bad to apply to lots of roles, but if you're that keen on the job I've posted to write me a cover letter I'll always make sure I read it along with your resume.. and then you loose all the points you've earned if it's clearly an identical cover letter that you've sent to lots of companies and it has nothing to do with this particular role, my company or shows you've done no research on us :)
