AI Research firm | Zug/Zurich area | Full time | On site | 100-200k chf/annum | 1 year research residency program.

I am starting a new AI research team funded by applying ML to crypto algo trading.
Over the last three years years, the ML-based trading operation turned 5 digits into 9 digits, trading a volume of around 1-4B per day, with a team that has grown to 7 engineers. The crypto markets are a bit more calm now, so things don’t look as good as before, but still good enough to move on with the plan of using trading profits to fund the research operation.

To be clear, I did start the trading operation with the intention to fund fundamental AI research (capability and safety) since the very beginning. In the meantime, both AI and crypto markets went through boom and bust cycles, and I expect there will be many more to come. We need to build an operation that can go through many such cycles which is why I want to grow the research team slowly and cautiously.

This is the first role for the research team. It includes studying and doing research together with me. The contract will last 1 year by default and end. If the research is promising, and if finances allow, it can be extended into a full-time research role.
The compensation for the initial residency program will depend on the person applying and can be higher for exceptional candidates.

The high-level research agenda is whatever might help to get to AGI in the long run, with safety in mind. My own research interests are the following: deep learning, probabilistic programming, world models, self-play, and more recently LLMs. With regards to LLMs, I’m interested in studying their inner workings, for example how optimising for a simple objective (predicting the next token) gives rise to “emergent behavior” such as the ability to count, or theory of mind.

Related, can anyone recommend 3rd party straps they like? I used to have a wood strap and i loved it but it broke (wood and all). It was good quality, i'm just rough with them i think. Now that i'm back on the regular Apple strap.. i miss the nicer one.

Curious if anyone has recommendations.

(Sidenote, man i don't think i could buy that $25 metal strap.. i'd assume it was junk lol)
You're probably using a high-end machine, many people use sub-$500 Windows laptops
By the time the strap is worse for wear on my cheap Timex, the battery is probably near-replacement, and the crystal is probably a bit banged up too. So easier to just spend $30 to replace the whole thing.

But I've certainly replaced watch bands in the past (or had it done). Never really been a watch person. I do have an Apple Watch which I wear mostly for hiking, etc. I like it but it's probably my most optional Apple device.
People don't like subscriptions. And for entirely rational reasons, even if they can't articulate them. If you insist on selling subscriptions for people, they will treat it as predatory pricing (because for them it is) and will antagonize you.

Companies, on the other hand, just love subscriptions. Also for entirely rational reasons.

Now, if you insist on ignoring that fundamental difference, it's a "you" problem, not with your public.
Hi! I'm the OSM Foundation board chairperson. We have a tile server running on AWS, generously sponsored by Amazon. It's quite a big machine, and the budget mentioned would only pay for a few months of runtime. It's currently one of the two tile servers we have in North America, and the fastest of the two by far.

Haha, that’s not even SQL.

But I am interested in how it turns the request into SQL (if that’s what it does).
If these events are as uncommon as you think they are - and I am certainly not dealing with them on anything close to a daily basis - then this option is not likely to be used often, and then usually only when unsaved data loss is already inevitable.
Here are some of the questions my 7 yo asked recently from Joypanner:

1. why do birds make their nest using mud and sticks?

2. what makes the earth spin?

3. why do people have different skin color?

4. how did people come up with the idea that private parts are private?
> Crafted from the same 316L stainless steel alloy as the case, the Link Bracelet has more than 100 components. The machining process is so precise, it takes nearly nine hours to cut the links for a single band. The custom butterfly closure folds neatly within the bracelet. And several links feature a simple release button, so you can add and remove links without any special tools.

Apple makes their watchband sound like the absolute pinnacle of engineering. I do agree Apple accessories are generally ridiculously expensive. Phone cases, chargers...
> just hobbies

Hobbies are hugely important to a healthy life.
> Developers have high incomes, but are quite frankly, extremely cheap. And I actually mean cheap and not frugal. They will spend 40 hours/week for months to save $5/mo

Personal anecdote:

Long time ago when still working in a physical office building, the co-workers and me would each amass significant amounts of empty returnable bottles by the end of each week on one's desk. This irked me because it looked rather unprofessional, cost desk- or foot space and came with recurrent noise of someone knocking over the whole assortment.

I then bought me a potato sack to just place my bottles in it in order to give the place a more hipsteresque feel and to give me more dignity carrying those bottles away.

So what do you think my high income comrades did? Yes, they did buy potato sacks as well... after studying customer reviews for multiple potato sacks on Amazon for a week (Goes without saying that they bought them all regardless of the week-long study effort to try them out and send the "non-performant" ones back to get refunded).
That's understandable, but we must be careful not to scare content creators, they rely on the little their art provide them, I feel like we should be more social in a world driven by generative AI, specially when the AI companies are driven by profit
It mystifies me how people think Github is important to use for the community.

Github is a package registry for NPM, Docker, Ruby Gems, Maven, Gradle, and NuGet. Quite a lot of things would break if it disappeared.
Depends on the type and quality of the test. Serological tests can yield incorrect readings.

The court system traditionally does care what your motivation is for doing something. See the difference between manslaughter and murder, which is entirely based on your intent at the time.
Not only that, but even if I *do* know about it, I still won't want to use it. I already know the old mainstream thing. 10% efficiency gains isn't enough for me to invest my limited time in learning a new tool, platform, data model, etc. 70%, 80%? Maybe then, but I'd still be suspicious.

What usually does cause me to adopt something new is 2+ co-worker / colleague recommendations. For example, I would never have started using k9s until 2+ colleagues started to hound me to stop typing out kubectl commands and to switch to k9s ASAP.
Oh the Apple watch system is definitely nice! And I prefer it to having to fiddle around with small pins to shim my watch band off. But that's not so much the issue, the rather odd idea of "hardly anyone changing watch bands before Apple" is.
Yeah and the attitude towards suggestions is pretty poor. I’m in too deep to refactor right now, but Inertia looks like a good option eventually. Keeping the benefits of svelte while moving to a better backend. I’m glad it was posted.
they dont. thats why this situation sucks
Meanwhile, the sudden influx of upvotes on my not particularly funny third-level reply, to a second-half-of-page subthread, on a mundane-looking HN submission, suggests some people must be using some kind of automation (e.g. F5Bot) to get notified about certain keywords. I'm guessing "OpenAI" did the trick here.

Hashtag Elon Meta Mask anyone?
Some things that have caught my attention & made me buy a 2nd hard drive to eventually get around to installing v11 & dual booting. I don't trust 11 based on what I've heard from friends, colleagues & Microsoft's multi-decade track record of rotating between a solid OS & experimental OS not ready for production.

* Dev Drive - faster partition of your drive made specifically for software dev work. Also attempting to create a nice widget screen for GitHub & others.

* Apple iMessage Connection - Ability to send messages from your Apple phone. I've heard this is missing a lot of necessary features though & is really 1/4 baked. A lot of that may be due to Apple more than Microsoft.

* Live captions - haven't tried it but sounds like Windows 11 will create captions off any audio played, even offline. I love Edge's read aloud mode & reader mode. Windows is winning the accessibility game in my opinion & I'm not a person that requires these to function. They just improve my life. Another accessibility feature is voice typing via a shortcut. I probably won't use this often but nice to see & may come in handy on a laptop for me.

* Android Apps - haven't tried it but sounds like Android apps work in Windows now.

* Different backgrounds on virtual desktops. I'm hoping there is other improvements to virtual desktops. I'm a huge user & I rarely see the background but I'm glad to hear they're dedicating time here.

* Test the different AI features they come up with.

Ahh! I didn't understand that about the corpus. Thanks!
Yeah this is pretty cool, when I first checked out my watch I was fascinated by how it worked, and I knew there was some mechanical trickery as it didn’t make sense if you just looked at it.
In the discussion of losing privacy we focus on the social freedoms lost as a result of loss of privacy. I agree with all of those arguments but missing from these discussions are the economic freedoms we might lose.

People like to portray their least favorite countries as being engaged in corporate espionage in other developed countries, but what stops your favorite big corp from stealing what you create? Going forward, the value of eyeballs on ads might not be much compared to the value of business ideas, strategies etc. a corporation can access by violating your privacy.

Think of it this way: If you are a business owner, how successful would your business be if every second of the day, your fierce competitors had access to all your phone calls, texts, google docs, spreadsheets etc.? What if your competitor is already established with much more resources to create and get to market before you can?

<<There are practical reasons to be wary of heterosexuality as well. Because our post-Freudian world associates all physical attraction and interpersonal affection with genital erotic desire, intimate same-sex friendship and a chaste appreciation for the beauty of one’s own sex have become all but impossible to achieve. (Freud, by the way, was one of the most influential architects of the vicious orientation-essentialist myth.)

For “heterosexuals” in particular, getting close to a friend of the same sex ends up seeming perverse, and being moved by his or her beauty feels queer. To avoid being mistaken for gay, these days many self-proclaimed straight people—men especially—settle for superficial associations with their comrades and reserve the sort of costly intimacy that once characterized such chaste same-sex relationships for their romantic partners alone. Their ostensibly normal sexual orientation cheats them out of an essential aspect of human flourishing: deep friendship.>>
Lots of thefts, hacks, etc involve exploiting loopholes in a system. It doesn't have to be either/or, it can be exploiting a loophole, and also theft, which this was.

I think you've probably described exactly whats happening - they do want to stop supporting the public API, but only for third party clients. There are other API access use cases they want to support. If the pricing kills third party clients but not the new use cases, that seems like a design choice to me.

They would instead rather charge far more money for data access for things like AI training etc, Twitter have also made similar changes to their own API to prioritize high bills for AI training use cases, not third party clients. That's at least how I see this change. The high pricing for these customers also removes the need to worry about the ad tech situation as is the case in the third party clients - you can just offer them an ad free feed at these prices for the training requirements.

I suspect the internal at Reddit desire to have less third party clients may well predate the AI discussion too, given almost all companies in this position eventually want to wind down those clients as history has shown again and again, for all of the reasons discussed in this thread.
> 14% - that's the first time i've seen a hard number like that. It's significant.

On the other hand, "zero or small negative effects on the most experienced/most able workers".

In other words, if you're skilled, there's nothing AI can do for you…
When I hear a person say their thoughts are being controlled by microscopic creatures living inside them, I won't write it off as a paranoid delusion. I'll hear them out.
Yeah discoverability is a good point, although I don't think I've ever used Github that way (generally I discover Git repos from a URL), I'm sure some people do!
Any mechanism to combat abuse will have false positives as well.
I've been using two monitors for a long time at this point, which might be part of why the macOS workflow works for me. I make heavy usage of virtual desktops, with "primary" apps going on desktops on the main monitor and secondary/auxiliary apps going on the secondary monitor. With this I can mix and match entire sets of windows very quickly and efficiently and very rarely manually manage windows.
> Anyone sufficiently familiar with Kubrick knows it wasn't a mistake.

I don't think the author at any point claims it's a mistake, they make it clear how deliberate it is. They are asking what the effect is.

The 35% improvement for low skill workers and 0% improvement for high skill workers seems to confirm everyone’s worst fears about this stuff.
You and I are the same. :) Except that I have one more, for Wikipedia, to redirect to ?useskin=vector.
I have a friend who basically kickstarted his entire career by boosting posts on Reddit with bots he ran. I won't knock his talent, he's a brilliant engineer, but I 100% believe he's gotten where his is in life because he knows how to play the game properly. Heck, getting his indie business off the ground is only one of several examples he's admitted to me of using Tor networks and bots to boost his ranking in competitions or sites like reddit/twitter/etc.
Yes and no. To give an example, people have been cheating at YouTube for ages with viewbotting, but Mr. Beast managed to smash the viewership of any of those people by using YouTube’s analytics to crush the algorithm. Also as you scale up, the less viable the strategy becomes due to risk of exposure.

The idea that any creator or advertiser NOT buying views is “almost certainly a loser by default” is an exaggeration.

AIUI they put a lot of the message parsing into its own tightly sandboxed process. That surely makes exploitation harder, but ultimately that process will have to communicate the results of parsing to other processes, and considering the huge diversity of things iMessage messages can do, there must still be a lot of vulnerable surface area?
Sure, was looking for electrical devices, a better example of what great engineering can achieve I suppose it's the Pons Fabricius [1], bridge built 2,085 years ago, still in use.

The problem is, if we can't expect software to run essentially forever, to update without 'restarts', and so forth, how are we ever going to achieve neural chip implants, artificial organs, synthetic agents mining ore in outer space, and so on? Software is not a gear mechanism, a rack and pinion, there is absolutely no reason to restart an 'operating system' or to ever lose state, however we became accustomed and we commit these sort of crimes daily, restarts and refreshes.

couldn't have said it better myself!
Rights are an American way of saying that something is desirable and that one is morally justified in using violence to achieve it. They use this terminology for reasons of history. There is no such concrete object of course, just translate into your own world view.

BTW, 'Define "X"' sounds rather childish, whoever says it.
Agreed, however a massive fallacy in science is that the more people keep repeating “hypotheses”, the more likely you are to be persuaded by spurious results / false positives. With enough attention large scale statistical analysis should be able to define clear causal effects, but we often just see weak results about “maybes” and “might bes”.
I disagree with you. That trailer makes it a lot more appealing to a broader audience.

It gave me strong vibes of Nintendo's ads for the Switch and Wii.

Even if they can sell VR as a fully immersive experience, I doubt that would be something that drives more sales than a bunch of people smiling after they've experience what the headset offers.

If Meta wants this thing to be big, they can't just capture people that want fully immersive experiences.
Here's another way if you are a company. Ask applicants to check out your repo and give it a star. Bonus points if you are a startup and make the CEO personally message the applicant on LinkedIn
(I'm assuming) you are not a professional and this isn't a professional opinion.

Me calling someone "dumb", maybe offensive, probably impolite, but as I'm not qualified to asses intelligence, carries little weight. A professional whose job is to asses mental capacity calling someone "dumb": just as offensive, but also unethical.
Well, if Folding@Home's project still exists, I'm going with Deep Mind is not working with them or there's still space to help.

You still have to have a Meta account, which to many people (including me) is essentially the same thing. No thanks.

I see; I suppose not being able to make a single commit that updates the wiki and codebase at the same time is a bit annoying. I'm just pleased it's Git at all!
Weird trailer. None of those games looked all that appealing, and more time was spent showing a person wearing the headset and making exaggerated gestures than the actual software or experience.

I'm not sure who this was for but it did nothing to make me interested in their headset and just confirmed what I already assumed about it.
