StarTree | Onsite | Mountain View CA, Bangalore India | Site Lead, SRE, Software Engineers (Backend, Data Infrastructure, Platform), Staff Security Engineer Compliance and Governance

You can find all the job postings here: https://startree.ai/careers

My name is Peter Corless and I am the Director of Product Marketing at StarTree (https://startree.ai/). We are a Mountain View, California based company and are now opening an engineering operation in Bangalore, India.

We make StarTree Cloud, an Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) database-as-a-service (DBaaS) for real-time, user-facing analytics, powered by Apache Pinot.

Apache Pinot (https://pinot.apache.org/) is a top-level Apache Software Foundation (ASF) project that came out of LinkedIn. A lot of the PMCs for the Apache Pinot project work at StarTree. It is also used at Uber, Stripe, DoorDash, Just Eat Takeaway (GrubHub), and a lot of other organizations.

Apache Pinot is known for its ability to provide high concurrency — hundreds of thousands of QPS — against petabytes of data. It uses the star-tree index to provide really fast responses measured in milliseconds.

We're past 100 employees and looking for people who want to help grow us to the next orders of magnitude.

Let me know if you have questions or interest.
DevOps Engineer | Full-time or part-time | Estonia | Remote

The Sota LLM has Human-like Intelligence just about anyway you can quantify that. goals, plan making on its own etc are all things that can and has been done easily with LLMs.
Lots of things will run random things in path... For example, some people like to use source foo in shell scripts to load another script, but that will first search PATH for foo and load it. You have to specify a "/" in foo in order to avoid the PATH search.
The long term productivity of this dev team is insane. They need to write a book on how they sustain it, and sell it to every single AAA studio.
I remain happy with an Xbox (Series X) as my centralized "set-top box", and haven't had a problem with any of its apps (which include Apple TV today), but I also game on the Xbox and it is hard to recommend for non-gamers.
Luckily pretty much nobody needs the standard documents. It's actually my aim at https://modern-sql.com/ to make the relevant information more accessible — in particular including support-matrices ("Can I Use").
I'm fine with that. My beef is with trying to take Blizzard out of it entirely.
If only Michael Crichton were alive, I bet he'd have something penetrating to say about all the naive hype as well as the naive anti-hype/rationalizations.
What you are describing would make attacking the keeper pointless for example when they dropped the ball from hand for a kickoff, cause that would be offside which is not true.

By your description Mandzukic's WC final goal should be offside https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzN-ahqULc4
I’m just saying be realistic. Everything that exists today can be judged easily. Future generations will crap on us for various reasons too while enjoying all the benefits.

> You touch on a major reason where a lot of American digital nomads fail, and that is that it takes A LOT to integrate into a foreign culture.

I find they are disappointed because the wealthy are often the first to travel and live multiple-house nomad lifestyle. Which is nothing like being a nobody who has only average income. An actor traveling all over the world with a personal assistant and businesses arranging everything is who they hear about most as the nomads of the world. As they are the big sports stars, film stars, book authors, musicians - doing their show.

But a lot of musicians and such will tell you that it is by no means easy to live on the road and to follow your own path.

Back in the 1980's, George Lucas and Joseph Campbell really tried to make this knowledge clear to people. Campbell: "They've moved out of the society that would have protected them, and into the dark forest, into the world of fire, of original experience. Original experience has not been interpreted for you, and so you've got to work out your life for yourself. Either you can take it or you can't. You don't have to go far off the interpreted path to find yourself in very difficult situations. The courage to face the trials and to bring a whole new body of possibilities into the field of interpreted experience for other people to experience -- that is the hero's deed."

Most people in 2023 wave around light sabers and have never bothered to study any of the things Lucas filmed about the mythology interpretation and human history of experiences.

That's fine. Point was that as times goes by the abstraction level we work at goes up.
So... sensible?
Board bring up usually needs a bit of assembly. Certainly needs some reading knowledge of assembly.
> In this case, this tool is $30/mo, or about $360 / year, what is that, 3 dinners for 2 people in a year? The tool may save the developer, let's say 3-4 hours / week and at 52 * 3 or about 156 hours of savings a year.

I think you're being unnecessarily harsh.

I can afford lots of things; I don't run out and buy them though.

So this tool might save you maybe 4 hours a week (I cannot really see it saving 4 hours a week, but lets go with your numbers here).

That is not "4 extra hours I get to spend sleeping". It is not "4 extra hours I get to spend with my kids". It is not "4 extra hours I use on my hobbies". It's "4 extra hours that my employee gets from me".

> At even 30 an hour, it's saved the developer $4,680, or at 60/hour, close to $10,000,

Nonsense. It's saved the company $10k. It's saved the developer exactly $0.

> My only recommendation is try to sell this product to businesses

I agree. Businesses get the savings from any tool they purchase for employee use, not employees, so they are more willing to shell out for productivity tools.

> Developers, my only word of advice, is seriously.. stop being so cheap and spend some money to make your lives easier.

Well, it seems to be working for them, isn't it? And you're being awfully judgemental about what other people find value in.

This tool, which you say will save 4 hours a week, costs $30/m. ChatGPT 3.5 saves me much more than 4 hours a week, and costs $0/m. Copilot costs $10/m, and saves me more than 4 hours per week.

Git (and things like gitea, etc) provide orders of magnitude more value than this, and you can find someone to provide a hosting plan for it for less than $10/m.

It's all about value delivered, which you seem to be missing. It's a purely rational and economic decision.

I can afford office 365, but I find myself getting by without that subscription. If I purchased every single devtool subscription, the monthly cost would exceed about half my salary, and all the benefits go to my employer.

My dad retired to Thailand 20 years ago and until he got too sick to take care of himself had no problems with any of it. (And after he got sick and before he passed, the home we managed to get him placed in helped him get a 'humanitarian exemption' to being deported for visa crimes).
I feel the same about being a tourist. I've never felt unwelcome anywhere as a tourist, but I'm also not loud and pushy. They're happy to have my money, and I'm happy to have their hospitality. Even the locals that aren't actually involved don't really mind tourists that are nice.

People who try to change things, whether it's actually for the better or not, are not well-liked. The locals like doing things their way, and they won't like being told to be different, regardless of the long-term benefits.

So. You're afraid of them then. Otherwise you'd post some actual evidence.
Honestly I just don't believe you. American Republicans have absolutely no answers for anything and are unequivocally harming society in lots of measurable ways. We can stamp out crime tomorrow, but we're approaching a climate apocalypse and they are cheering it on. Putting addicts in jail is less effective than treatment. Every country in the civilized world has less crime than we do and they did it with more socialism, not more libertarianism. Putting the Sacklers in jail is something I'd be on board with. That and banning any and all private gun ownership.

Speak for yourself. That was not the way I approached marriage, not by a long shot.
Nah, "you should understand the instructions before using them" is a self-approval process and it's just advice.
Thrill of the Fight is such an amazing game.

It's fun but it's also an intense workout, especially if you crank up the difficulty level. I've purchased fitness games for the Quest, and while I enjoy them, they don't give the same intensity of workout that Thrill of the Fight does.

I hope they'll make a v2 of this excellent game.

Well it matters as it directly relates to resale value. I update my iphone around every 6 years now that new features aren't game changing. I get full security updates during this period. I'm not sure there is any android devices that get security updates that far out, which also directly hurts their resale value.
I've only done a bit of prolog programming, but from what i've seen so far it feels like "logic" is the wrong lense.

It feels more like its based around describing a graph, where some verticies have side effects, and then releasing DFS on the graph. I'd call it DFS programming, but also im a noob at it, so maybe more experienced people would disagree.
Friendships are great. They are voluntary and aren't transactional. Romantic relationships tend in the direction of transactional (and what can you offer me?) and that makes for a strange dynamic.

That's... not cool to say? A self fulfilling prophecy: I'd leave instantly.

Those aren't legal, although you can probably get away with them for a while.

Hutter Prize Entry: Saurabh Kumar's “Fast Cmix” Starts 30 Day Comment Period
Saurabh Kumar has submitted "Fast Cmix" to The Hutter Prize for Lossless Compression of Human Knowledge.

The Judging Committee appreciates Saurabh Kumar's compliance not only with the rules of the contest but with the provision of an executable archive which makes our job easier.

As per the Hutter Prize Award's section of The Rules:

The contribution is subject to public comments for a period of at least 30 days before the prize is awarded.

Some of it exists for important reasons, that are documented on the page. For example, respecting the SQL standard, or maintaining compatibility with database from a time/system without the replacement feature, or for special circumstances that don't apply to you.

Right. Do you have any good recommendations to read on this matter?

Here are a couple of good papers on how metrics distort systems and what can be done to mitigate this. [1] [2].

And then a new post by Cedric Chin on practical examples of mitigating Goodhart's law in Amazon. Really good read: [3]

But generally, I feel like not many people or organizations care about this. The non-profit sports world is conservative and slow, organizations and corporations are also often slow, and there some psychological/social effects linked to the metrics-that-don't-work-anymore.

I wonder why.

I don't really care about the scandals, but man, Blizzard games have been shit for a long, long time. Gone are the days of Diablo 2 and Warcraft 3.
Dan Savage uses the term "companionate marriage", which might mostly apply here, except for the part where usually it was ostensibly a sexual relationship at some point in the past.
Stuff like this is why I fell in love with soccer.

It didn't come quickly. I was not very engaged with youth soccer as a kid although looking back it was one of very few "safe spaces" for me as a kid where being bullied wasn't a problem. I came to see youth soccer as part of declining social mobility in the U.S. If you were playing little league maybe you could dream of being Babe Ruth but there just wasn't any ladder out of youth soccer at that time.

Last December I started working on a smart RSS reader that works a bit like TikTok or Stumbleupon and found that my first classification model struggled to tell that I liked the NFL and hated the Premier League and that got me to reading a lot of sports articles and developing a taxonomy to support feature engineering.

After reading articles about games lost by own goals, thinking about how I'd feel if it was my team in danger of relegation, etc. I found I really found soccer interesting after all.
> So it's okay if the perpetrator thinks the target is rich enough?

Yeah? When "rich enough" literally means such an unfathomably large amount of wealth that it is effectively infinite for the person that holds it (which in this case it is, since Bezos will not ever scrape away even a fraction of his wealth in his lifetime), it pretty much is okay. Infinity minus one is still infinity.

To clarify, there are plenty of problems with theft such as how it can impact coworkers, and it's totally valid to be against theft. I am just very pedantically pointing out that yes, it is in fact not nearly as bad of a crime to steal from someone who is unbelievably rich.
What do you consider southern europe, as a red-blooded American, I suck at Geography.

But, I have been to Spain, Italy, Greece, and Turkey.

And it was all full off Spaniards, Italians, Greeks, and Turks, respectively.

Colonialism does mean many european countries do count among their ranks people who aren't "native" to europe, but America is a land of immigrants. Full stop.
You don't need assembly to do that. It's just another network app. :) Check out Adrian Nye's "X Protocol Reference Manual" to see how to talk X.
MBA types make the company more money quarter over quarter, dev types make the company more money decade after decade.

Publicly traded companies tend to use greedy algorithms when making decisions.

There are plenty of dev (or really, artist driven) type companies, some may argue with my choices, but I would say Bethesda, Epic Games, id Software, and Double Fine. Bethesda and id are now owned by Microsoft, so there is a possibility that market forces will seep in over time.
I don't but I'd love to read them if anyone else does.

Unlike others, i’m going to say I get it.

I had a stranger recently come up to me and ask to come to an event I was inviting others to. No problem! Come along

But the thing is the dude was very shy and awkward. Which isn’t a problem, but definitely cast a bit of a cloud over our social event

All of a sudden I was managing him, taking time and focus out of my night to make him feel welcome. I’m sure he didn’t intend it, but he didn’t make it seem as though he were ungrateful

There are so many little social cues to make social work. And if you’re not even remotely part of the group, you’re probably going to clash

Which is all well and good - it’s let of meeting people… but this guy was just blowing through town. All the investment for what? So he could be 1,000 miles away next week? (he said he would be)

The problem with nomads or even superficial travelers is you are taking from the environment you travel to but rarely give much back. And as the trend grows this back and forth becomes tiring fast

So basically if you’re going to travel or be a nomad - be a badass people want to be around. Commit to it and be ready when you get there to shine a personality. If you can’t do it in an environment and culture you’re familiar with - respect the people you travel to by working on yourself first.
