Parative | https://parative.com | Senior Backend Engineer | REMOTE (USA only) | Full Time
Parative is in need of an experienced backend engineer to join its platform team with a focus on API and integration work. As a key member of an early-stage team, you’ll report directly to CTO Jason Zopf and join a growing team of US-based engineers and an established team of developers in Eastern Europe.

We are a remote company; however, we are only able to hire eligible candidates in the United States for this role. Given the size of our team and the nature of our work with customers, we also require candidates to have primary fluency/bilingual proficiency in English.

Apply here: https://parative.breezy.hr/p/235414743556-senior-backend-eng... and feel free to follow send drop me a note: paige@[parative domain]

GPT> The contact email address mentioned in the post is "paige@[parative domain]." The domain part of the email address seems to have been redacted or cut off. Typically, it would be something like "parative.com" or a similar domain related to the company's website. Unfortunately, in the provided text, the domain after the "@" symbol is not fully visible
Predicting the next word is hard. To do this more efficiently than a dumb lookup table (the chinese room thought experiment) or a markov chain you basically need to build a world model. This model sits in the deeper layers of the LLMs (the deep in deep learning). Turning it into english or chinese only happens closer to the output layers.

They have. Many, many, many, many, many times.
I regard propaganda as information that it disseminated with intent to radicalize, that is, to provoke an emotional reaction that circumvents reasoned or measured thought.

"Tank man" is a great example. In nearly 35 years it hasn't lost it's lustre, and it regularly gets trotted out to drum up sentiment against China.
Iirc Docker Desktop uses a proprietary VM now, Colima and Podman Desktop use qemu, and I'm not sure about Orbstack (which has come up several times as a lighter weight alternative within this thread.)
I have no idea, I can never remember, it makes no logical sense - no, 12 noon is NOT post-meridian, it IS meridian. I usually go 11:59 or 12:01, and then I'm still not sure if it doesn't put the entire hour in some interdimensional hole where this doesn't make sense.

There's about one way for the US to avoid being out-competed in matters of RISC-V.

That'd be by investing heavily in designing the absolute best RISC-V processors.

My 9-ball says: Unlikely.

The US will simply be left behind, losing any leadership they might have had in chip design.
Automatic seat belts were a legal requirement during the period after passive restraint regulations were passed and before air bags were practical.
I don't mind LTT-style sponsorships that are relevant and neatly presented as part of the video, but randomly jump cutting to a car insurance ad just ruins the experience and it's easy to see why people would block these.

My (at the time) 2 year old daughter actually cried the first time she saw an ad on the YouTube app.
I don't know. I think it depends on a lot of factors. I think there are some circumstances where that sort of heavy-handed approach would be warranted, but I also think there are a lot of cases where it would be unwarranted and potentially an abuse of rights. The challenge is coming up with a litmus test to differentiate the two. As I've pointed out multiple times in this thread, the Supreme Court will soon hear arguments on that exact issue. I am curious to read the opinions of the various justices on the matter.
Because the alternative, not using SecureBoot, is strictly worse in all scenarios.

Just like HTTP vs HTTPS with LetsEncrypt. Even if an attacker can compromise a web-server rendering HTTPS protection useless, it's still better to always use HTTPS.

GPT> To extract the contact email address from the provided text, follow these steps:

Read the Post: Understand the structure and content of the post to identify any potential email address.

Identify Potential Email Address: Look for patterns or mentions that resemble an email address. In the provided text, there is a specific mention: "paige@[parative domain]". This might be an email address with a placeholder for the domain.

Clarify the Email Address: The provided text seems to have a placeholder for the domain part of the email. The domain might be "parative.com" as mentioned earlier in the post.

Reconstruct the Email Address: Considering the context, it's possible that the email address could be "paige@p(--redacted--)ve.com."
Until the internet breaks its dependency on advertising income (a significant portion of which are either American or global, meaning they want to be inoffensive to Americans) and the internet breaks its dependency on allowing advertising to be channeled through an American company, moderating to prudish American moral standards is here to stay.

It would be a net positive if Google's advertising business was broken up along regional lines for anti-competitive practices and also being anti-cultural. Anybody want to suggest it to the EU?
> I've considered buying a coffee shop or maker space or something and just hanging out with my customers for a living, which sounds nice in theory, but a lot of people will say dont do this because you're just buying yourself a job, and I can see that

It sounds to me like you would prefer to go ahead with the coffee shop / maker space thing, but you kinda feel like you "shouldn't" do it because people have told you not to - but you still kinda want to.

My general experience is that when I have a peaceful preference towards something, especially when it's something other people have told me I shouldn't, and especially when it's been true for months (not just a fleeting one week idea), then when I end up doing it, I feel particularly glad that I did. And when I don't follow my peaceful preference / my gut and go with it, I tend to lastingly regret not doing so. (So, perhaps consider some meditation i.e. sitting with eyes closed and kinda talking to yourself to get clearer on your intuitions - what do you feel you "should"/"shouldn't" do, what do you have impulses to do/avoid, and what do you overall peacefully prefer?)

My suggestion would be to trust your gut! Consider trying the coffee shop / maker space thing, in a small way. But if you still wanna just go big and buy one, then do that.

But you could try it out by renting a temporary space for a week or a month, and creating a pop up cafe or maker space. Could work especially well during holidays or alongside any special events.
Yes, exactly this with an added hurdle of Rust which isn't supported by any of the mainstream consoles.
Depending on what you want, it might be very simple hardware, using panel provided DC for lighting and a 12V DC system and switching to utility provided AC when the sun isn’t providing enough power, all the way to house batteries and selling power back into the grid.

GM's OnStar system has billed this as a feature for about 20 years. The police can get the location of your car and screw with the drivetrain.

I think the reason Trump caused so much talk about fake news and propaganda is that until him these were only generated and controlled by very powerful organizations (autocratic governments or in free societies the governement, big companies and their media). That an upstart could also start convincingly spreading falsehoods and fear, and move masses was alarming. No longer were the NYT&co or Fox the sole arbiters of how public discourse is framed. Fake news was democratized. We all lose, whether we are being lied to subtly by the NYT and big companies or blatantly by populist upstarts.

Not exactly. It was offered to everyone from the beginning and they all decided to spurn it until they didn’t.

They could have come on board earlier if they wanted to.

Now Tesla has put in place the systems to collect payment from people without Teslas. Elon made it happen even without needing the other companies to play along. All you need is an adapter and a Tesla account.

Meantime some auto makers have decided they will finally get smart and put NACS ports directly into their cars in the future.

Could have happened much earlier though. The offer to let any car company use the network if they would do proportionate cost sharing for the buildout was very public and is very well known.

Now it will be individual auto owners who are kicking in payment to help build out the network. Presumably if you drive a non-Tesla your charging rates will be higher to make up for the fact that your car manufacturer is essentially freeloading off the efforts of Tesla and the investments of Tesla’s customers.
That explains SO much.
I like gentoo's package deprecation process
The only reason I say this is because I have tried. I asked an LLM to decode a variety of base64 strings, and every single time, it said the deocded ASCII was "Hello, world!"

This doesn't come as a surprise to me. Unless it was trained on a dataset that included a mapping of every base64-encoded character, it's just going to pattern-complete on sequences of base64-encoded-like characters and assume it translates to "Hello, world!" from some programming tutorial it was trained on.
It doesn't need to be the NSA; if your chip is vulnerable and exploits published online I don't think it's too far fetched that a resourceful thief could try to unlock your disk if he thinks it has valuable content (bank accounts, cryptocurrency, passwords, etc.)

Your hacker news comment history is almost entirely shilling for Tesla, much of it misleading or misinformed.
Another example: a kit to write your own specialized (scalable but not planet-scale) search engine. An user-friendly free ⁸executable app that runs a commercial-grade large language model on your Mac, with automatic configuration and updates. A music player app that uses your S3 / D3 storage for songs and manages tagging (with Musicbrainz?) and uploads / CD ripping for you. I'm sure all these things exist already, but they're not finished as a commercial product is, because it's hard work.

Because there are different kinds of keyboards out there, with different layouts, so if you switch keyboard you could find yourself unable to input the password. Imagine typing a "non-English" letter in the password and then switching to a US layout keyboard without that letter. Sure, a rare scenario, but with hundreds of millions of users you will hit it.
I would be surprised if any of them had the first idea what you were talking about, and they probably don't even work for the manufacturer. Even if they do, their feedback is extremely unlikely to make it back to product, and even less likely to be taken into account.
That seems essentialist. Chinese incentives are aligned with a lack of IP protection right now. For instance, IIRC, bunny’s explanation of gongkai (https://www.bunniestudios.com/blog/?p=4297) explains that Chinese companies freely trade chip designs because they make money off of manufacturing, regardless of who designed it.

Speaking of 24 hour clocks: my oven clock shows midnight as 24:00, and then changes to 00:01 at 1 minute past midnight. I've never seen any other clock show that; very strange.
Funny to see this here, recently I decided to clean up my personal NAS that had 60 million files and 17 TB used. I tried various tools, but this NAS was the backup target for many of my machines over a decade or more of time. I finally gave up and wrote a multi-threaded c++ program to "inventory" every file and then I imported that into sqlite and started building out scripts to do bulk actions, set a flag on for files to delete and some scripting to show the files that would be deleted etc. It was quite a project and took me "spare" time of a month to trim.

On a related note in 2019 Apple destroyed all my music copies in one of the itunes updates, and part of this process I gathered all forms of media into various zfs datasets and de-duped and managed to find all my mp4's from the '90s lol.

It's amazing how much digital garbage we can accumulate, I often wonder what my kids will do when I pass, will they try and sift through all of it, or just toss it in a closet somewhere to be discovered in 1,000 years by some digital archeologist?
> and add visualisations to it

Might I suggest a different animation. The current one swaps two elements (bars) by vertically shrinking the taller bar and growing the shorter one. Instead, the bars should stay the same height but move horizontally. I would rather see values move than slots in the array morph to the new value they should hold. The current animation feels like you are pumping water from one tank to another.
That should work but I have never had the voice control correctly understand a command. Ever. I have tried repeatedly. I don't think I sound that wierd, but maybe I do. More likely I think it's just yet more terrible Volvo software LARPing as a car. All the software is completely pointless anyway because the UI is such shit that I just use a phone in a nice solid cradle anyway. Just like I do in the old car.

I do change the climate controls quite a bit, but this is the UK where you're only ever 34 seconds from the windows steaming up and the temperature changing all the time. Maybe somewhere with a consistent climate it's easier.
I don't think I get it. There're stressful jobs everywhere, small companies can be even worse - specially when you have to deal to with clients (or owners) directly.

My first job was in a body shop consulting firm that I quit after one year, very stressful in my opinion. But a colleague - who was onboarded with me - loved the job and is now leading the team.

I think it's all about recognizing your limits and boundaries and find a job that fits it, no need to complain about everything. What is bad for you might be good for others and the other way around.
Lol, my comment that Sweden losing their car production was flagged.
MSWord is the ultimate benchmark. It’s been around since the Pc revolution started.

Ironically it hasn’t gotten much better in those 30 years since I first started using it. The new features have broken core features, and performance has gone backwards.

It is the perfect example of feature creep and over engineering that ultimately worsens usability. If I had enough vintage pcs I would do a 40 year analysis to answer why it’s gotten so much worse.

Ive been using word since 1991. I recently started a new job, got a fancy HP laptop, and I swear word ran faster on my 386SX than it does on this i9. Turn on “all markup” after a few people have edited it, and there’s a 2 second delay between keystrokes.

Well, there's one small victory hidden in the article:

> Over-the-air software updates would be possible for the steering system. However, such remote updates are not currently allowed by legislation.

Based on the wording, I wonder if that means "it is illegal for the steering system to have a network connection" or if it means "it's possible to OTA update the steering system, but it would be illegal for an OTA update to do so".

After all, as the old adage goes: "If you ban software updates, then only criminals will be able to update software." Similarly: "Patches don't kill people. Catastrophic boot loops at speed do.", or: "You can pry my auto-updating steering wheel out of my cold dead hands".

Has anyone here ever owned a car that didn't have at least one safety recall due to the CAM bus protocol being terrible? Are they running steering over CAM or some bespoke (and probably somehow worse) thing?

GRUB+LUKS can also have exploits published online? If that happens, you upgrade to a newer version.

TPM is the same - any known vulnerabilities would generally get patched as part of firmware updates released by your vendor.

If the TPM is known vulnerable and a patch doesn't exist then fair enough you can stop using it depending on your threat model, but the same can be said for software implementations.

> when you can just use GRUB+LUKS and type the passphrase at boot?

This is a user experience drawback and opens you to other avenues of attack like passphrase bruteforce if you don't choose a strong (and inconvenient/slow to type) one. It's also impossible for servers or embedded devices which you want to be able to boot unattended.
Why stop there; why can’t we consider the zero ring a field? It has addition, subtraction, multiplication, and (vacuously!) every nonzero element has a multiplicative inverse.

I realize the definition of fields usually includes the axiom 0 != 1, but I think this is just as arbitrary as “1 is not prime”.

You can even extend this to scheme theory, where Spec of the zero ring is the empty set, and conversely the zero ring is the ring of regular functions on the empty set. Note that the empty set is always open in the Zariski topology!

Anyway I’m not actually seriously advocating for this position, just that it does seem to be consistent.
Could it be that the wax used (as in many food-grade items) was paraffin wax, ultimately a product of the oil industry, and PFAS proved cheaper than a hydrocarbon-based solution?
> Imagine an inode filled with all zeroes for example, tons of files have large segments that are all zeroes, what if they all get deduped and point to the same inode when the identical bytes are >= the inode size?

Transparent compression of ZFS handles trivial cases like this quite easily. It even has a 'zle' (Zero Length Encoding) compression mode expressly for such, blocks with all zeros only, instances. Although, of course, the default 'lz4' compression should cover such trivial instances equally well.

> I've always wondered why file systems don't have a dedupe feature similar to defragment.

Because dedup is enormously expensive to do in the otherwise non-trivial cases. ZFS can do it live, and it requires an in memory hash table to track each deduped block. Which, if you imagine a ZFS filesystem with a recordsize of 8K or 16K blocks, this can be enormously RAM intensive. btrfs supposedly does dedup with less overhead(?), but I'd be interested to hear about instance where the combination of compression and filesystem clones isn't more practical.
