Glass Health (YC W23) | San Francisco, CA | Full-time | Senior Full-Stack Engineer | HYBRID | $130-180k + equity

We build a platform for AI-assisted medical diagnosis and clinical decision-making. Doctors spend twice as much time with computers as they do with patients; our product helps doctors make decisions and draft documentation in seconds. To date, tens of thousands of clinicians have used Glass to generate drafts of differential diagnoses and clinical plans.

We went through Y Combinator this year and recently announced a $5M seed round (led by Initialized), which included some of the most brilliant founders in healthtech: Tom Lee, founder of One Medical; Connor Landgraf, founder and CEO of Eko Health; and Heather Hasson and Trina Spear, the co-founders of FIGS. We’ve also been featured in leading clinical lectures like UCSF Grand Rounds and news outlets like NPR and TechCrunch.

This is a hybrid role: we work in person at an office in San Francisco two days a week. Remote is optional for the remaining days, although the office space is fully available at any time! Unfortunately, we are unable to offer visa sponsorship at this time.

I (Graham) previously worked at Modern Fertility (YC S19) and our CEO/my co-founder Dereck is a doctor who studied medicine at UCSF and Brigham and Women's Hospital. Join us!

Obviously anecdotal, but I feel that my success in fields of programming and computer science are precisely because I had _more_ access to advanced math courses, not _less_. I started doing symbolic algebra in 4th grade, and by the end of high school I was doing multivariable calculus, which continues to be applicable in my field.

This too is a lazy, uninformed take.
Angelina Jolie famously did just that, replacing them with implants, after a positive gene test.

She also started having yearly tests for ovarian cancer, and only a few years later one of those tested positive, so she had one ovary removed.

Personally, I used to get a yearly colonoscopy after a tumour and a positive gene test, but these days I no longer have a colon ...
Yeah sorry didn’t make it clear - specifically in the IVF process when you get to the decision of which embryo to implant, it’ll be immoral not to screen them all and choose the one with lowest health risks.

It’s not a technology problem. It never really has been. It’s a business problem, which is another way of saying it's a people problem.

People have been conditioned to believe all software must be free, but that SaaS is fine. People are willing to rent software in the cloud but not pay for it at the endpoint.

Add to this the fact that the cloud is the ultimate DRM. It can’t be pirated if the user doesn’t even have binaries or have possession of their own data.

SaaS provides inescapable recurring revenue and very strong lock in. It’s massively superior from a business model point of view. Meanwhile the (much more) evil twin of SaaS, namely “free” surveillance and addiction driven apps, dominates B2C.

People might want local first software but if they won’t pay for it that doesn’t matter. The whole industry will wrap itself around whatever model pays. Everything is all about cloud and SaaS not because these are technically superior or better for the user but because that's where you get cash flow.
This isn't a liquor store in the conventional sense. In any case, that's not my problem.

I filled many roles in a healthcare tech startup, working up to my dream position: lead security architect. I'm an engineer through and through, but speak compliance enough to know where the gaps are so that I can fill them. I'd like to play a similar role in a small startup doing things that tangibly improve people's daily lives.
Unicode is standardised in a way that uniquely screws the Japanese language. So using "international" applications tends to be uniquely bad in Japan.
> Why is it that remote workers never insist on everyone working from home

They do insist that all meetings have some video conferencing on. Also, to avoid side conversations, many of them ask that everyone in the meeting - even those sitting the same office - sign into the video conferencing software.
You took a perfectly good calculator and gave it anxiety is what you did.
In the past couple of years, many large tech companies developed a legal theory that scraping the public web for "internal" purposes is OK, and that any ToS-based or technical restrictions are just suggestions that they don't have to follow.

These "internal" purposes included growing your social network, monitoring or reverse-engineering the algorithms of competing search engines, and now, it includes training ML.

Which is funny given that when others are doing it to them, they go to great lengths to stop it, and sometimes complain loudly or threaten lawsuits.

I think the main reason the big players don't sue each other is that it's a bit of a Mutual Assured Destruction kind of a deal. Google is doing it to Microsoft, Microsoft is doing it to Google...

Hunk-o-satellite would be a cool paperweight, to me anyway
Quite a lot of parents have to choose between driving their kids to school every day and working to keep their kids fed and sheltered. There's a real problem there, but it's not that they don't care about their kids.
Who would you trust (and verify) to run such a leaderboard?
It takes one to know one right?
I am not following these testimonies in anti-trust cases where they have a competitor of Google testify against Google. Isn’t testifying all about presenting evidence? If I am accused of theft in a criminal court and my arch rival is brought for testimony against me, it doesn’t sound like a fair process to me. Of course if it’s a substantiated material it would make sense but otherwise it doesn’t just makes sense at all. Google as a search engine is far better than Bing and that’s just a fact.
Sharing this here, something one of my teams just shipped, a lot more coming in the next few months (Custom Merge Checks, Runtime Dynamic Pipelines, and more).

One of my favorite radical psychoanalysts.

He has a stellar analysis of fascism in "The Mass-Psychology of Fascism." It's almost frightening how prescient he was not only for it's 1933 publication but for our current day as well. I wish more folks would check him out.

His fascination with orgone adds a lot of color to his work. I hope people don't write off his radical analyses for that. Despite the pseudoscience, he does get to the root of things. Great life-affirming stuff.
Unicode even has distinct full width and half width variants of Japanese katakana - where ‘full width’ is (in theory) as wide as two Latin characters.

Latin: Katakana
Full width: カタカナ
Half width: ｶﾀｶﾅ

(How that fixed width text looks in a web browser is anyone’s guess though. On iOS none of the Japanese kana stay on the fixed grid.)

Also they force you to upgrade by refusing to activate old versions of Windows.

Google search is useless now. Only now there is no competition so effectively all online search is overall useless.

My advice is always to jump in and start building! My background is math originally, so I had some of the tools in my tool box, but I'm mostly self-taught in computer science and machine learning. I read textbooks, research papers, code repos, but most importantly I build a lot of stuff. Once I'm excited about an idea I'll figure out how to become an expert to make it a reality. Over the years the skills start to compound, so it also helps that I'm an old man!
I don't really see what's preventing people in the future from simply ignoring this interpretation?
I think a person could reasonably distinguish between "this could record you" and "this, by design, is always recording".
Algebraic formulas show up in combinatorics. For instance, expressions which count objects in a certain set generated by combinatoric relationships.

There is probably no need to delay studying some combinatorics before algebra, but at some point, you need the algebraic background.
> By what metric? Top 3 games by units sold are american.

The top 3 games by units sold were made respectively in Stockholm, Edinburgh and Moscow. How exactly do you figure that makes them "american"?
Ouch. But sadly not true.

Both my non-tech wife and my four year old have figured out how to watch things. Which, is, my point. VLC, a directory browser, and ktorrent suite our needs so perfectly. Admittedly, the four year old hasn't figured out how to download torrents yet; but for my wife it was super simple to explain: "goto this website, search for desired show, only download from purple or green pirates."

My setup is slightly more complicated than I let on in the first post. We have multiple TVs, each hooked to a linux laptop (lenovo T430s, because I had one and the rest were cheap on ebay.). Then there's a NAS with SMB. All media is downloaded to the NAS, any T.V. can watch any downloaded media.
Tracking of what?
Please make your substantive points without fulminating or calling names. This is in the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. In addition, it's in your own interest because it will make your argument much more persuasive.

Edit: we've had to ask you this at least once before: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32387908. Can you please stick to the rules when posting here? We have to ban accounts that won't, and I don't want to ban you.
In your first comment, you've stated that my statement that nuclear has been replaced by renewables is "false". I gave you sources which supported my statement and showed that you are wrong in accusing me of falsehood.

You also claimed Germany had produced some fuckup. I showed you with sources that there is no fuckup.

You've dropped those two things for your personal and unfunded claim that "with better technology", nuclear will come out of something you said in a sentence before doesn't happen. Adding to that, "anti-nuke" failed.

I've explained to you that they actually didn't fail but won and asked for sources on those technology developments you see on the horizon, and therefore you used as an argument.

You still did not come up with any substance or source, but still claiming that there was no focus on innovation. I told you that there have been billions put into that and what came out of it wasn't showing what you claimed it should show (innovation which is cheaper/better).

For which your answer was that this innovation wasn't actual innovation because it was crap.

Leaving us and especially you with nothing to show in this discussion because you've played yourself.

So now, your last straw is an attack on me and the fact that I've shown that your argument is not valid and labeling it as "extremely aggressive".

Seriously? Is this what you learn these days about the way discussions are supposed to work?
ClinVar will have many variants associated with disease, but not in a way that a typical layperson would be able to interpret.
This is a good use case. This is a manual process for me or setting reminders in my phone.
I absolutely have the same overall feeling, when the task at hand is related to text processing (including understanding and spinning off new takes or ideas from it).

But when the task at hand involves logical thinking, that's when I believe the LLMs of today are still a very much work in progress.

So I'm skeptical of trying to use them as tutors for now. I'm sure things will evolve quite quickly from now.
The assumption that public schools fail to educate kids is already erroneous and baseless.

That a public good, meant to ensure an equitable start for all children, regardless of their or their parents’ circumstance, is being treated like a free market asset is a bizarre failure to understand the fundamental difference between, say, Apple and your local elementary that must be prepared to educate kids ranging from G&T to barely able to read, and must often take the place of parents who are either incapable or unable to be present and continue the kids’ education outside school.

Your comments are case in point why people who don’t know anything about education shouldn’t have any input into how it’s delivered. I can’t tell if it’s Dunning-Kruger, or just an assumption that educators are idiots, but I can assure you the latter isn’t true.
You use Perl for the backend? That's... Interesting

> it's not right that people can pay to jump to the front of airport security

This has been true for quite a long time before this service or Pre-Check existed afaik.

Airports have VIP/Executive entrances and flyers with certain status “ex Delta Platinum” can use a different security checkpoint with a shorter line or skip to the front.
As someone not in a big money industry with lots of friends in tech (including the author of the post I submitted!), friends wanting to be treated right doesn't cause me any envy. I correctly recognize them as being in the same boat even if they get a slightly better view while the person who owns it shoots holes in the hull.

Probably? I’ve got and have watched a lot of stuff, and have a reeeaaallly big screen so favor files large enough that including raw audio streams from the source is fairly common.

Lemme check my watched-videos…

Got one I must have watched at DTS-HD 5.1. But maybe the “HD” makes a difference.

Oh, here, DTS 5.1, no HD. This one definitely worked, I watched it like a month ago. Only audio track available on this video, so no chance I used a different one.

I’ve run into exactly one problem with my set-up, and I think it was some bad interaction between a particular frame-rate/resolution combo and my projector. Temporarily tweaking a tvOS setting (telling it not to switch video output to match sources) fixed it. Only seen it happen one time.

I do have a 7.1 audio receiver. Dunno if that matters for reproducing the issue.
It's practically a tautology, if the idea was easily distinguishable from 'random crackpottery' then it wouldn't be so groundbreaking, because it necessitates that the other party in a 30 to 60 minute meeting could confidently distinguish it.
I work with an enterprise that takes this approach, albeit with on-prem warm & cold data.

It seems to make a lot of sense for them, which is probably why cloud providers discourage it.

Data is the important part. Cloud compute can be swapped.
>As if it isn't possible for people to just, you know, decide that it is fine and move on with their lives?

You seem to be insisting on a bad faith reading of the post despite people pointing out there is a good faith reading that doesn't make the author himself out to be the asshole. The HN guidelines, may I remind you, guides you to assume good faith when responding to what people write.

The post is specifically addressed to people who prefer remote to RTO, and who feel completely trapped because of the ultimatum. This is understood in the way he emphasizes how remote in these companies was in fact possible pre-pandemic, but ironically is no longer an option post-pandemic due to the ultimatum. You do realize the the people who prefer the office are already...at the office? hence there is no ultimatum directed at them at all? Hence no way for them to be dehumanized by an ultimatum that wasn't addressed to them in the first place?
We live in that world: copyright, as it has become, is fundamentally incompatible with music as a field. To say nothing of the issues it creates for covering, sampling, remixing, and setting new words to existing tunes (a time-honored musical tradition), there are increasing numbers of law suits over things that basically boil down to existing in the same genre or using the same fundamental musical laws.

Even if the suits don't go unfavorably, simply publishing an original song opens one up to a major risk.

It's been interesting to watch Adam Neely, a music theory YouTuber and practicing musician, become increasingly disillusioned with copyright after analyzing a handful of high profile music lawsuits...all of which were as ridiculous as Oracle v Google.
