SEEKING WORK | SAN FRANCISCO | REMOTE OK

I've been a software consultant and accomplished poet for over a decade. Having started my own consulting company (and a couple of startups), I've worn pretty much every hat in an organization and understand each role's needs and how to translate between different teams to get everyone aligned behind a plan, allowing me to act as a communication hub.

I'm a force multiplier through the three Ts -- Tooling, Teaching, and the above-mentioned Translation between teams.

I have extensive experience with Scala, Ruby, Python, Javascript, and Typescript.

I specialize in tooling meant to lower or take away the need for scarce developer-hours, and have built a number of low- and no-code solutions for data storage, stream processing, form building, front-end creation, EDI specification for data ingestion and export, complex transformations, and lately tools for dealing with Large Language Models.

Currently, I have been helping organizations with how to turn initial explorations with LLMs into productionized, repeatable processes.

If you are in the Generative AI space and need help providing (developer or end-user) tooling for your offerings, I have a number of thoughts with regard to this and would love to help you change the world at this pivotal moment in history.

On the other hand, if you need help integrating LLMs such as GPT or any other form of Generative AI (audio, visual) into your organization or offerings, or are in need of training in how to use LLMs effectively for any team in your organization, please do not hesitate to reach out to me at poetic.artifice@gmail.com
I think we essentially agree here. My main qualm is that the way the paper is presented implies a false degree of rigor (not "rigor" exactly but more so the idea that the arguments are based on some incontrovertible formal reasoning).

> so it's technically ~$32USD cheaper in Canada?

I've noticed this as well, but having lived through 2011-2013 when the CAD = USD, Apple has 3-6 month lead times on pricing changes, almost always tied to product releases/store updates.

Maybe it'll get more expensive the next time they release a product, maybe it won't because the difference is currently negligible.
Italy’s ban on ChatGPT has prompted neighboring European countries, such as France and Germany, to consider similar restrictions. Chatbot isn't available in the Netherlands.
> you're looking at the world and interacting with it more directly.

Only sorta. What you're really doing is taking the real world and reducing to an electronic simulacrum of the real world.
Neat! I love seeing this type of technology, offloading/optimizing using a fairly simple idea; though I doubt it's realization was easy!

Nitpick: you seem to have a typo under "Safe": it says "safely and secularly" which I'm fairly sure should be "securely".

Godspeed!
Hey! I'm the developer of Unriddle - it works using text embeddings. The document is split into small chunks and each chunk is assigned a numerical representation, or "vector", of its semantic meaning and relation to the other chunks. When a user prompts this too is assigned a vector and then compared to the rest of the chunks. The similar chunks are then fed into GPT-4 along with the query, ensuring the total number of words doesn't exceed the context window limit.
Appreciate the acronym check! That's a great point.

Our design evolved out of a routing/performance analysis software that we run on historical weather data. Angle of attack and trip cost-benefit varies per lane. In general transpacific and transatlantic have amazing winds, with other routes performing well but not at well.

We've done the excel-level analyses on container loads and wing buckling forces. It all checks out. There is a combined-load case at 15deg of roll with heavy containers and heavy winds that's zero-margin, but as you said we can reef when required. Reefing will likely be single-digit minutes, but we can also feather (0 angle of attack) much more quickly.

Your use of the word "right" is pretty far afield of how most people (lawyers, in particular) would use it. What you're describing is better described as an "emergency measure", "benefit", or "privilege".
I love how the 'right thing to do' is not the same as the 'right thing to do as a business.'

One is actually the right thing to do. The other is how to make more money faster and quicker.

This is actually something I wish we had at my previous company. Setting up the environment was a pain, and very few people knew how to run all the tests (integration tests really). I am willing to give Hocus a go.
I can understand for sure. However, you may want to consider why you only saw drunk and homeless people on the bus. It has nothing to do with public transit, but it has a lot to do with parking lots and how we build our cities. Cars insulate us from reality and allow us to ignore our problems. Our children will not be so lucky.
While I get what you are saying, keep in mind that Meta could have just done it wrong.

Apple is really good at making products in areas where other companies haven't had much success.

Example:

- The iPad, Microsoft had its own tablet almost 10 years before the iPad.

- There were even touch phones before the iPhone.

- The Lisa/Mac picked up where IBM left off. IBM thought computers were not for the general public.

Maybe what is missing with VR/AR communication(in the workplace or elsewhere) is the secret sauce that Apple does with its software and QA. Just my 2 cents.
It is a speedup for me. When I run llama.cpp from CLI first tiem it takes a very long tiem to load the model in memory. If the program exits or I stop it with Ctrl+C and start it again it will start almost instant.
It's an experimental package, its still in the first version so i am testing it out and making improvements. I use prompt engineering to avoid non functional codes and give the best result for the code that it will execute, but i am implementing another feature that will verify the code logic, fix if is there any issue and improve it.

I have tested it out with some advanced queries and it works, but it's experimental, we shouldn't use it un production until we test the results of it, but it works nicely for almost all type of requirements.
I don't think this is true for all crimes. If I punch you that's assault. If I try to punch you and miss, that's not the crime of attempted assault. It can in some circumstances be other crimes, but not attempted assault (which afaict generally isn't a thing).
They weren't asking about mmap, they were asking about the program itself.
Personal anecdote: I've recommended and set up quite a few elderly people with Chromebooks with the same thoughts.

Multiple times, I've checked up on their installs and found their accounts riddled with malicious browser extensions and search engine hijacks. They claim that they were aware of not clicking on stuff asking to install browser extensions, but they got tricked (multiple times) anyway. I suspect that the search engine hijacks helped the process.

After having this happen many times, I'm now of the stance that while ChromeOS itself is far more secure than Windows, it's very far from a turnkey silver bullet.

You really need a multi-prong strategy (ChromeOS/iOS, uBlock Origin/reputable content blockers, user education and vigilance, etc)
Yes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Security_Counci...

Japan was one of 15 votes on the UN Security Council to pass it.
To be fair, this is a very pseudosubjective thing. I know my data point. And I feel my data point is plausible as a trend. For example, you don't need to do studies to know that "Diarrhea Browser" would be a bad name.

Edge? I think it's sharp and techy and modern. So it seems at least... valid. But it also screams, to me at least, the classic Microsoft branding thing of, "this feels like a bunch of 50 year olds in a room declared what they believe to be cool and hip."

Then again. `iPad` was broadly laughed at when it was announced, and through sheer repetition it has been accepted and I don't really even notice the weirdness of the name anymore. So maybe with enough success, Mullvad would be adopted.
I think there are just so many layers at which we as a society are failing at, and it's forcing so many people to become "invisible".

You read stories about these recluses, and it's not a far fetch from most of us. Sure, some of them are suffering from severe disorders or are unmedicated, but for a lot of them they want to be part of society but feel stuck. Can't get minimum wage jobs because they have no work experience, no references. Can't go back to school because no money. Can't continue their social life because they feel such deep levels of guilt for having to live with their family.

So much of our social systems are based not on prevention and providing as much help throughout to reduce risk, but rather to wait until things get so bad it's near impossible to get out. Our health system works like this. Our school system works like this (bullying being dismissed was a big reoccurrence when I was reading these articles on hikikomori).

Don't even get me started on the online layers of failure, so many platforms are places where miserable people congregate and encourage others to become as miserable. They convince each other the "sky is falling, give up now". 4chan is an example of such a place, you don't believe some of the extreme absurdities keeping you from reintegrating on there unless you've already started to isolate yourself (again part of the above failure of our social systems not letting people get help early), and those miserable folks take advantage of this.

Layer after layer of massive failures.

I hope you can invite your friends over to your family's house, alongside their family and have a big social feast even if the feast is just whatever is filling and affordable. We should be pulling each other closer, providing more support and empathy, not pulling away.
I have different degrees of friendships and people move in and out of them. I don't even really actively think about them; the level of friendship at the time largely relies on availability overlap, personal life experience overlap, and other factors. These things, like you mentioned, are more fluid these days.

I also think people are more accepting of social reclusion in the information age. It used to be some kind of red flag that very social people would use to wallop non-social people. It took the aggressiveness that people who prefer working in an office often show to remote workers. These kind of societal evolutions will also influence the normalcy of behavior as experiences become more ubiquitous. More people have experienced loss, financial strain, etc

I know I'm not an exact fit here as I'm not an engineer but big HN user so I thought I'd post. I'm currently doing some public service as a fellow advising a member of Congress on tech policy. Previously I was an early sales hire at a marketplace startup focused on AI projects, led a team for the Estonian government, did some consulting/advising on projects related to new cities, novel visas, and defensetech in Africa, Colombia, and Eastern Europe, and was early at a YC/Andreessen backed co (also a marketplace focused on doing custom software with a network of freelancers). I'm looking to jump back into tech, either at a larger company in a Chief of Staff or strategy style role where I can still be a firefighter and person who does a little bit of everything or at an early stage company where I can be a nontechnical generalist. Looking for something more impact focused (e.g., American Dynamism, climate, ways to bring people out of poverty, and energy).
I believe & doubt science for the same reason, my experiences as a scientist.

For example, I once reviewed a paper submitted to one of the big two science journals by a famous author at the top of their field. The self-reported statistics made it clear that the data was 95% noise. Although I and other reviewers torpedoed the paper, it was still published at top end paper with the statistics removed.

Nothing like watching the sausage being made to understand why some choose to be vegan. Like soylent green, science is made of people.
Steady protocol | CTO | solidity | Remote or On-site | Zug, Switzerland | Full-time | 175-250k CHF + equity

The overall product is very simple: USDT that pays you the yield.

You will be able to go to curve, swap USDT or USDC to stUSD, and then earn ~4% APY by just holding stUSD (each day, wallet balance increases). You will also be able to go to the protocol website and see up-to-date bank reserves & stUSD debt, and the protocol stays overcolateralized at all times.
We will have a focus on transparency and reducing all risks, including smart-contract, liquidity and collateralization risks.

There is no reason for centrally managed stablecoin issuers such as USDT or USDC to not share the yield on reserves with token holders, so we do just that.

We create a new stablecoin: stUSD, collateralized mostly by 3-month T-bills. 90% of the yield on reserves is paid to holders with the same mechanism Lido uses. stUSD is similar to stETH, and wstUSD similar to wstETH. (except yield comes from T-bills instead of staking rewards).

I am currently managing a prop trading firm (~1B average daily volume) that will operate a market maker and arbitrage for stUSD. We are very well positioned for such a project, as we have both the capital and lawyers+bank relationships (with the operation of our fund) to get it started.

The growth strategy is to be first to market at importing the “TradFi risk-free rate” into Defi, grow a large TVL through this position, and then grow the network effects of stUSD: usage as collateral, dexes, and lending pools.

The role will include the following: writing smart contracts, managing audits, documentation, and project website. I know good solidity devs but they cannot commit to full time, and I want someone onsite, full-time for this role.

If I was not a software engineer, I wouldn't own a computer. You can do almost everything that the average person needs to do on a phone or tablet. How many different > $1000 products does Apple expect people to buy?
The title is misleading; giving the wrong idea or impression. People who work in the field may understand what is actually going on, but I get the feeling that your target market is much broader than that, and I doubt that the majority of that market will interpret "Create your own GPT4 ..." to instead actually mean "Unriddle users curate information for the index that sits on top of a GPT-4 API that OpenAI owns and we use on your behalf" (or whatever actually goes on)
Resemble AI | Toronto or Remote | Full-Time | Full-Stack Engineer, Deep Learning Researcher, Infrastructure Engineer

Resemble AI creates high-quality synthetic voices that capture human emotion. We're a venture-backed high-growth startup that's looking to shake up an entire industry with state of the art AI. Our product changes the way that thousands of brands, media companies, creative agencies, and game studios create speech content. We’re a remote-first team that thrives on flexibility and creativeness. We cover expenses for office space, equipment, and all of the other perks and benefits that make you productive. We also believe that to build an enticing product and solid team is by encouraging innovation is by enabling continuous education. That's why every Friday is a day that you can use to work on anything you want, Resemble-related or not. We're hiring for three roles:

Full Stack Engineer - Can you break the entire stack? You're the right person for this job. Work on our Rails app, with sprinkles of React, and Python for the deep learning. Everything is dockerized, and we use Kubernetes to deploy.

Deep Learning Researcher - Come build large ML models for voice synthesis! We already have the SoTA Speech Synthesis models, so this role is all about thinking outside of the box and running huge experiments on tons of compute. Experience in deep speech fields like TTS and ASR is desirable alongside proficiency in Python and DL/ML frameworks like PyTorch, TensorFlow, and Keras.

Infrastructure Engineer - As an infrastructure engineer at Resemble AI, you would be responsible for leading technical conversations and making decisions with other infrastructure and backend teams. You would work closely with engineers from different parts of the company to build new features and improve internal engineering standards, tooling, and processes. Additionally, you would anticipate and plan for the growth of Resemble AI's platform infrastructure, and design and implement platform solutions that balance resiliency, durability, and performance.

In case one is looking for a fun, unconventional evening, I can highly recommend ordering the entire set of sauces for a season from them. We invited a bunch of friends, prepared wings and sides and had a blast ascending mount scoville together, with a proper last dab to round things off! As an added bonus, there were a few genuine diamonds in the rough in the lineup, which we would have never discovered otherwise.
Typical google seemed to think a politics and business problem was actually a technical one and then give up completely when it was clear they would actually have to make a real business investment to get what they wanted.
Tell HN: Instagram suspended my friend's business without warning or recourse
My friend Clio has spent the past few years building her own fashion brand in NYC. She painstakingly designs all of her clothes by hand, putting months of effort into single pieces.

Clio recently released her fall-winter 2023 collection. She has a website for her brand (https://cliogalea.com/pages/fw23-angel-fire-disco-club), but in NYC in the fashion industry most business is still conducted on Instagram. Her new collection was received with great interest and Clio was in the middle of corresponding with some important business connections when--without warning, notice, or reason given--Instagram suspended her brand's account (https://www.instagram.com/cliogalea/). This has had the following impacts:

1. For the agents and representatives she was corresponding with, she now has no way to contact them - potentially compromising impactful business opportunities.
2. For her current clientele who are awaiting orders or commissions and have already committed deposits, having her brand page disappear without warning has caused confusion and concern.
3. All references to her brand and her new collection have disappeared from Instagram due to the account being suspended pending investigation. Word of mouth on social media is a huge part of the fashion industry, particularly in NYC, and the timing is particularly devastating given the months of work that went into the release of her new collection.

When Clio's account was suspended she was given no warning or reason for the suspension. She was told that she would receive an update on the suspension within 24 hours, but there's been no correspondence for days nor opportunity for her to gain clarity or appeal the suspension.

I know HN may say this is just another reason to avoid dependency on Instagram, Google, etc. in case access is revoked and I agree with this, but for small businesses like Clio's, Instagram is a necessity until there is a systemic change to how the fashion industry operates.

For me personally, it's especially concerning that we seem to be moving towards a world in which increasingly many decisions will be delegated to automated systems and there will be no opportunity for recourse. Throughout this process Clio has not been able to speak to a single human at Instagram about why her account was suspended. I can only imagine the situation becoming more stark in the future with large language models becoming more accessible.

If anyone has any advice here on how to navigate this situation or get my friend's account restored, it would be greatly appreciated.
> He wanted to buy it in the US since it was so much cheaper.

He needs to declare it when he returns to the EU, and pay the same taxes. (Assuming it costs more than €430, which is the limit for bringing personal goods into the EU by plane.)
This reminds me of trying to imagine a "Flatland" creature's biology; you can't really have one with a digestive tract.
I like wingsail. I learnt a lot about it when i do some digging about catamaran few years back. There's some of them equipped with combination of wingsail and solar-battery which is neat. Really hope it becomes big in shipping industry. Have smooth journey you guys!
