Subconscious | Full-time | REMOTE - Hiring globally, current team is San Francisco, Washington D.C. and Brisbane

At Subconscious, we’re building new infrastructure for an internet of ideas.

Noosphere is a next generation network protocol; a worldwide content graph (no blockchain though).

Subconscious is a social note-taking app powered by Noosphere and AI.

Our founders are former browser engineers from Google and Mozilla. We are a small, funded team of four. Our codebase is mostly Rust, but we also write a fair amount of Swift and TypeScript. In time there will be need for other language skills as well.

We're looking for a few more folks to help bring our work into the world. Specifically, we are hiring:

- DevOps: you should know the ins and outs of cloud infrastructure orchestration and its interplay with deployed applications and services

- Cryptography/Privacy: help us make strong guarantees about public and private information, and bring user legibility to content provenance and authority

Some topical links:

You are not alone with this. It's probably even the original purpose of it, considering that some browsers use star-icon for their bookmarks. And GitHub even supports this by having lists for managing starred repos.

Are we talking about individual levels of intelligence, or are we talking about groups with advanced technology? Do you understand why those are not the same thing?
Yeah especially for the superfan who just wanted to break the release date embargo to play the game. He got the game so that's it, mission accomplished. But he had no escape plan. And it's Amazon, he could probably have gotten himself fired by taking 4 or 5 bathroom breaks in a single shift.
I think they missed the mark with that trailer.

They promote it like it’s a skateboard: cool tricks, fast paced, hip and happy. I don’t think that’s why you want a VR headset at all, it’s actually the opposite: immersion, sinking into a another world, it’s concious dreaming.

The D&D pitch could be perfect. I’d love to play a VR/AR d&d game. But in the video, the first thing he does is take off the headset and smile? It makes no sense. He should be totally enraptured, not happy to take it off.

It’s like they don’t get their own product.

I have to argue against this - humbly as an expert with several degrees in microbiology, immunology, genetics, host-pathogen interaction, university lecturing, etc. The genetic basis of immunology is amazingly complex. To assign 90% autoinflammatory type disease triggered by pathogens is an unfounded assertion. There are many strong examples of monogenic causes of complex phenotypes, while separately the clinical microbiology explanation of many diseases is also perfectly clear. I am certain that there will be many pathogen triggers, as you say, but the number 90% does not make sense based on the last 100 years of the science.

Well, it doesn't only have to be "only in VR" mechanics, it also has to be a really really fun game compared to almost all the other games you could at the moment purchase and play on your normal PC with a normal monitor and no extra $1000 investment in hardware..

I've tested VR sporadically ever since the first Oculus Rift came out, and I just get a headache after 15 minutes and that kind of has ruined it for me forever I guess as I now associate VR with motion sickness, bad ergonomics etc. That's very personal of course, I know there are others who can run around in VR fine for a whole day without these reactions.

Anyway... the game has to be outrageously good for me at least to use a VR version instead of just sitting on my chair staring on the screen with a cup of tea next to me.
Man these headlines are getting worse.

They put a few electrodes on her head that calmed her down and put her in a flow state, so she could focus better while in a military simulator.

She wasn't popping targets at 900m, she was just calmed down and able to focus in a controlled exercise.

She also just wrote a book, so it's getting a lot of attention. I remember when this first came out and tDCS got a lot of attention -- and then kinda died off cuz it wasn't a magical focus pill and doing it wrong could temporarily blind you.
I had the same thought. Is fixing typos not contributing? Should I not be submitting PRs to help with documentation/polish/etc? I never even thought that trying to help would be viewed as malicious.
A while ago I took a course on Process Philosophy, and have wanted to read more Whitehead since, but more so because of his involvement in analytic philosophy, like co-authoring the principia.

I remember not really enjoying Process Philosophy. Some things that bothered me were "God," panentheism as pantheism++, and panpsychism.

To refresh my memory a bit I decided to visit https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/process-philosophy. A quick skim mentions William James, John Dewey, and Heidegger, all of whom I've read but don't remember process philosophy from any of them.

> As Nietzsche put it (when discussing Heraclitus), if we observed nature at different time scales, we could see trees pop up and wither away, the sun could look like a ‘luminous bow across the sky’; contrariwise at slower speeds, we could observe a flower as being as permanent as a mountain. Everything is in flux, permanence is merely an illusion of timescale. Being is Becoming, as Nietzsche claims.

It's been a while since I've read Nietzsche, but these two ideas don't seem to go together. Sure Being is Becoming, but comparing it to a tree pop up and wither kind of reminds me more of teleology. I want to say Heidegger's Being and Time is more about the human condition, or at least humans, dasein. And for Nietzsche I seem to remember the `will to be,` `the will to become,` `the will to x` to be more about Beings that are able to will. Though I suppose someone in Process Philosophy would say that all things have some kind of will because of the whole panpsychism thing.

To be honest I'm kind of surprised to see process philosophy pop up. I could see it being interesting as an exercise in some Comp Sci discussion like OOP/FP, events, or AI.

I wouldn't say poverty or failed life is an incentive to commit crime?

> And motivations for crime include money, power, sex, clout, or just a straight up uncontrollable urge to do something.

A true scotsm... uhhh true smart person knows it's not required to commit crime to achieve success. Unless we are talking about some third countries like China or Russia. Actually for these two soon identity/cc theft may be the only way people can even have a developer account because accepting money from them would/should put Tim Cook in jail.

And sorry but IQ testing is bullshit.

> The casual sex "choice" doesn't apply to the majority of adults (most straight men don't have the option of multiple sex partners, most women don't want them) so it's difficult to see its relevance here.

How much of that is social expectation? I can see the circular reasoning here: can I get out?

That is a challenge. Social expectations set boundaries: changing those boundaries takes a lot of work. It's still possible, though. To me, it's worth the effort.
Forget code. This is not the Github Copilot, aka. ol' completion model powered autocomplete. I'm talking about Windows Copilot, i.e. something more like Bing Chat, except it's fully, deeply integrated with the OS. See the demo video. It's not meant for techies like us to ask it to write PS scripts for us. It's for any user to be able to ask "how the fsck can i make the text smaller?", or "where the fsck did my document go?", or "what the fsck am I even looking at?", and the Copilot is supposed to tweak relevant system settings for you, find and arrange windows, summarize or edit documents you have opened - and suggest what software you could use or install (this is where monetization will enter the picture) to do the thing you asked it how to do.

(Also, I found GPT-3.5 helpful with PowerShell; didn't have a reason to try out GPT-4 on PS yet).
Assuming the issues aren’t also hijacked it’s pretty easy to do your own sanity check of a project. Takes no more than a few minutes of archeology in the code and issue tracker.

Also, Twitter has a fomo/cool bias which is really terrible for software imo. Boring is usually better.
You might not be able to get the exact strap, but there are certainly numerous aftermarket straps (from low to high end) you can easily get. The strap is more than likely held in by a spring bar, and the while there are various widths, they are standard widths, ie 20 or 22mm etc… especially any older mechanical watch, will absolutely have the ability to interchange the band. And if it’s not a spring bar but a solid fixed piece of metal, you can use a nato style strap or something similar.
I think this is kind of the point. There's a compelling argument that buggy humans are the root of all kinds of profound suffering.
I understand, that's kind of my feeling from the other point of view too. I guess it's complicated stuff, probably often very linked to spiritual and/or religious beliefs too, so it's probably hard to really understand how others are feeling about it if you are not thinking similarly.
For specific emoji, and other characters/sequences, you use regularly you could use something like WinCompose (other compose key tools exist, this seemed to be the best of them at the time I was last looking) to setup shortcuts.

You don't get the search functionality though, so it is not useful for first time use of a character or discovering “new” ones.
I think is it essentially 1 year.

They made big announcements about opening it all up but it wasn't really until this past year or so that it was really.

But from what I understand, Thunderbolt4 and USB4 are mostly interchangeable. It's just that USB4 supports additional slower modes for devices that don't need the speed.

Hopefully someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but the next AMD processors and chipsets support USB4 which provides Thunderbolt4.

[Edit] The AMD Framework would provide you with all of your requirements, except cell service, but you could install it when one does become available?
Show HN: Joypanner – Active learning for curious kids
Questions are one of the best starting points in a learning journey. What do your kids do with their questions? Do they Google? Do they find a video that explains the answer?

These are great sources for finding answers. But not if you're looking for more active learning and helping your kids think for themselves. Questions are too precious to be wasted by quick answers.

We've been working on an AI guide to help kids engage in deeper learning when they have questions. Rather than simply giving away the answer, Joypanner prompts kids to think by asking them follow-up questions. Once kids have figured out the answer, we recommend relevant curated videos and/or books that can complement their learning.

Check it out! Let me know what you think.
Thanks!

Sure, you can have a bunch of friends and sex partners.

Those can never fulfill what a life partner is.

Friends are great. Casual sex can be great. Neither of those give you someone who is so close to you they become part of your identity.

Casual sex especially can be deceiving if one person is using that as a vehicle for emotional investment and the other isn't. That's how people get deeply hurt.

Relationships end. Even the most loved partner eventually dies. Your friendships and casual sex friend relationships probably end more frequently, are shorter and never have the chance for depth.

Maybe you find the right person and get deep quickly, but that's like giving up a savings account hoping to win the lottery.

Absolutely, this is definitely hard, especially for Meta as they don't have an existing network of stores. But it still seems like a big miss that they've seemingly not even tried to make this a thing.

Maybe they should have partnered retailers, maybe they should have pop-up demo spaces, maybe they should be giving these things away to places like libraries or other public venues. They could also define what a good sales experience looks like, provide disposable or reusable pieces for contact, and so on. There is all sorts they could be doing!
What if fixing friendship fixed marriage as well in an indirect way that is difficult to predict or accept now?
Why is Kubernetes adoption so hard?
I think it’s deeply sad that people expect to be consumed by a marriage as a culmination of their social life, rather than having it be just one of multiple co-equal familial relationships. (Close friends, relatives.)

Framing this as “cope” (why the Reddit language?) just spits in the face of friendship.
privacy (am I unobserved)

That's not the common definition of privacy. Rather, privacy is having the agency to control which parts of your life to share with which other people. It's a freedom of expression: you are free to decide which part of your personality to express at which time.

Having control over who is observing you is a requisite but not sufficient.

Misc: I'm mainly looking for security engineer/analyst or game anti-cheat roles. I have a great interest in hedge funds, and internal security roles. I've been doing contracting, so it'd would be nice to switch to an internal role. I'm open to government contracting work, but I would need to be sponsored since I don't have a clearance. I haven't earned a bachelor's.
I disagree. I actively avoid languages that rely on package managers simply because they only give the illusion of being beneficial. It ends up being more boilerplate I have to learn to use an ecosystem, because they don't actually solve dependency hell and now there's a whole additional complicated tool with its own DSL I have to contend with in order to fix what's broken (or even diagnose issues.)

The more peripheral crap I have to deal with to use your language, the less I'm likely to use it in the first place. I don't need, want or care to learn yet another idiosyncratic fragile system. Finding source tarballs is a complete non-issue, and inevitably I'm going to have to manually build things anyways to figure out what erroneous assumption a library is making about the underlying system which is causing the build to fail or the runtime to crash, so the package manager just ends up being extra steps. Without fail, that has always been my experience with language package managers.

In the pursuit of making things simpler, we're really just making them harder.

> The tool may save the developer, let's say 3-4 hours / week

Seriously? Half a day a week?? As a professional FE dev there is no way this would save me 4hrs a week, every week. The existing dev tools are familiar, and while not perfect, get the job done. This tool is sugar on top of that, I can't see how it would save me so much time.

I think regular folk, and non front-end engineers could find it easier and more approachable than dev tools, but I can see why target audience engineers won't put up $30/m for it.

Edit: If this tool could demonstrably show a 3-4hr a week time saving go and show it to managers, they'll snap it up. Fact is corps are cheaper than ICs at the coal face. This is if you class "cheap" as being extremely efficient with your resources.

Just because engineers are well paid doesn't mean they should stop being efficient with their income. I'd rather spend $30 a month on lunch than on another magic tool.
