Radiant | Full-time | Onsite (SF & NYC) | Software Engineer (frontend & backend)

Radiant is on a mission to accelerate AI adoption in the enterprise.

We're looking for software engineers with a proven track record of successfully owning and executing against meaningful outcomes in an end-to-end manner. We’re seeking highly motivated individuals who are strong generalists and comfortable flexing beyond core engineering responsibilities into other domains as needed.

As an early member of the Radiant team, you’ll play a key role in defining and establishing foundational aspects of our company, including the product and culture.

We’re hiring individuals in SF and NYC. We believe that we do our best work with regular face-to-face interactions and encourage a hybrid schedule.

If this sounds interesting, we’d love to hear from you.

I think EVs would not have difficulty meeting those small car fuel economy standards, even though they are very strict.

But they may not feel safe on a road surrounded by Dodge Rams and Raptors.
I think the commenter meant that it can produce such an inconsistent result if the identifier names add up to approximately the line length, but the example didn't actually make it so; the identifiers are much shorter than that.
> which just based on the URL, has no credibility.

It seems like you're proudly flaunting your own ignorance? The site has been around for more than a decade. What about a web site such as "Hacker News"? Sounds like I might get a virus if I visit that page!
Must be nice to be so privileged! I hope every damaging thing you are apathetic about happening to other people happens to you so that you are able to test your principles in the most comprehensive way.
Yes, they could - much of the land in the US sells for hundreds of dollars per acre.
We would have if VHS had a built-in recommender system or discovery mechanism.
AIUI this is just starting to take off. Look at Supermicro's 2U4N and 1U2N offerings, which need to use liquid cooling to reach that density. I know Alibaba has been doing vertical mounted servers in a non-conductive oil bath for a while. I bet their generation 13 servers have liquid cooling.
IoniQ 5 comes close.

We've got one. Great car, but it's no Honda Fit. As it had to fit in the same garage slot as the Nissan Leaf it replaced, I can confirm with my own eyes that it's only about six inches longer than the Leaf. But, man, a compact car it is not. I look at a Honda Fit as an even smaller version of the Scion xB we also have, and the Ioniq 5 dwarfs the Scion for interior passenger space. Additionally, judging how well a 3/4 acoustic bass fits, even has a bit more cargo space with the seats down. My six foot body could sleep with legs extended in the Ioniq 5 (I even bought a Backseat Bivy[0] for it), but the Scion is shy a few inches for that.

Re: "compact crossover SUV", well, they had to call it something, didn't they? But, no, it's not an SUV. "Station wagon" is close, but it's not one of those, either. It's really a four-door hatchback, but if you're thinking "hot hatch", well, not exactly that, either.

So who knows what to call it? But if one is looking for an electric version of a simple, small car, I don't know that the Ioniq 5 qualifies. Still, as Ferris Bueller said, if you have the means, I highly recommend one.

And more importantly, as I recall, you could install chrome frame without admin access.
But you can buy a Nissan Leaf in the USA. They are nearly the same size and same price.
haha, yeah, gotta love typos that can change the meaning
I'd argue LM Studio is the best way by far.

- Download and launch the app

- Use their interface to huggingface models, download the one you want

- Go to the chat window and select load

- Chat away w/ a ChatGPT like interface that includes markdown processing and easy copying of code blocks, etc

Outside of the time to download a model, it's about 30 seconds of work to get up and running
It took a few millenia from discovery to commercialize such things as number theory, electricity and the wheel.
The lesson is if you're going to fire your CEO for alleged unethical behaviour, make sure you're willing to actually argue why you fired him, to convince people it was a reasonable decision.
This is probably true for certain scenarios, but it's absolutely not true for all scenarios.
At the risk of being controversial, the latter half of your statement tracks very well with my experience of organizational DEI initiatives, in particular. We have reached a point where tenure-track faculty are expected to provide justification, in writing, for the value of their research to various marginalized communities. That alone wouldn't be a huge deal if conference talks, research funding and, increasingly, tenure committees weren't being similarly pressed to provide these kinds of justification.

From where I'm standing (I hold a Ph.D in a scientific field, and my spouse is a tenure-track academic), an unsustainable portion of academic work consists in justifying one's research program, on grounds that have little to do with the subject of study.

It should hopefully be obvious that I'm not trying to stir a DEI flame war. Rather, I can't shake the feeling that DEI activism isn't accomplishing much beyond creating bureaucraty, and that this benefits neither research in general, nor marginalized groups trying to establish themselves in academia.

Anyway, this seems like a specific instance of a larger trend you're pointing to. Possibly not even the largest or most absurd one.
You're telling me it's unreasonable for people to mix up W3schools and W3C? lol
Are they mostly too high, too low, or all over the place?
nit: seamless not seemless.

Actually TIL seemless is actually a word but it's a synonym for unseemly.
Name a successful CEO who most people say is "nice". Steve Jobs? No. Larry Ellison? No. Bill Gates? No. Nice guys don't become CEOs. Most CEOs are slimy.
Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (December 2023)
What are you working on? Any new ideas which you're thinking about?
8. What does blazingly-fast build times mean quantitatively? How does it scale with project size?
"The point is I wish we could just ask the computer to sort things out for us, show different views, etc. this would require a software system able to work with more granular code units, maybe something like [1]."

The problem I've seen with this idea is that in order for it to work, you have to be willing to add more metadata to your program, because programs themselves don't have the necessary data in them. You can make it mandatory to your language, but than just raises the friction for people trying to use that language.

But, if you're willing to add the metadata to a hypothetical new system for slicing and dicing code, why aren't you using the existing mechanisms in your system for organizing and documenting things?

If you are, then you make the delta between "it may not be perfect but here's some documented and organized code" and the perfect vision small enough to not be worth a lot of effort to chase.

If you aren't, then you aren't going to give the perfect all-singing slicer and dicer what it needs either.

Replace "you" with "coworker(s)" for the same dilemma, only sadder. And your generic strawman coworkers are going to be very upset when you try to get them to use this language... "it's so hard, it's always complaining about perfectly good code, I'm missing my deadlines because it's making me document things I'll never use, I'm just putting 'a' as the documentation for these things anyhow, oh look here's our boss ordering us to go back to our previous language because we're all spending too much time documenting rather than building new features".

Some things can't really be fixed by process.

I'm a graphics developer, looking for a 6-month internship (in my final year of a master's degree in CS) in the field of GPU/graphics programming.
I previously created my own cross-platform 3D engine (GL/C++) and used it to create the game Exploration Craft, which has more than 55 million downloads across Android/iOS. And more recently, used it for the incoming game Spaceflight Factory on Steam (a factorio like game).
I am currently planning my own small LLM trained on documents we use internally for work. Does anyone have any tips and tricks on how to make this work the best? Could a project like Llamafile help me with this, even if it is just for testing?

hah those GM connectors are light years ahead of the OG saab/volvo ones that saab used in the 90s. Those were absolute trash. My whole harness on my 88 is just... deteriorating slowly and randomly.
The trick here is to understand that the small electric vehicles are an entirely new segment between a bicycle and a car.

There will still be consumer demand for large vehicles, and vehicles the size of a modern sedan or even compact car.

But consider electric bikes: they replace some trips in larger vehicles, and make classes previously too-inconvenient trips happen.

Tiny electric cars fit in above the electric bike use cases, where they enable carrying more cargo, protect the user from weather, can still be parked conveniently in a city, and really poor people can afford them.
On the other hand, you have to work for a living, don't have a private cook, prostitutes/concubines if that's your thing etc.

I think I'd very much prefer to be a king in 1890 than McDonald's worker today. There's a risk I'd die of infection that's easily treated today, but, on the other hand, I'm not flipping burgers through majority of my waking hours.
Show HN: Building a long-term alternative to ChatGPT
In every presentation I saw at re:Invent that mentioned AI, RAG was also mentioned.

It seems to me that with AI, as models and products achieve parity, the amount of data that is accessible to a provider will be the key differentiator in quality of responses. Those who can gain access to the most customer data will be best-positioned to win the AI market.
For reference: I run 7B 5bit quantized models on a ryzen 7 5700G with 64Gb at 8 tokens/second CPU only.
It's not close to what you can get with a high end graphics card but for every day use it is alright and has headroom for bigger models. Upgrading CPU, RAM and Mainboard in a 10+year old PC cost me just 400€
levels.fyi is pretty good for what it is, but it's obvious a lot of users don't really understand their comp structure (or at least how it maps onto the form). just for example, there are a lot of amazon L4 sde records that have cash bonus + rsu amounts that take them way out of band for that level. they probably don't know how to represent the weird vesting schedule.
Librarians in the United States have been moving in a social justice/progressive direction for about the past 15 years. They are also highly online and the community is prone to purity tests and the tumblr-like political drama we've gotten used to in such spaces. This is according to my partner, who has been in the field for 20 years.

I don't know the root cause, but I do know from my own experience that a librarian is a very specific "type" of customer—extremely helpful in diagnosing any technical problem, generally positive and friendly, but God have mercy on you if you step on their politics.
It's very interesting to see this. I wonder what Amazon, Facebook, Google, and Microsoft are going to do in the next few generations. Will they be moving to 2U1N as well? Or do they have liquid cooling in mind? Or maybe they'll be keeping lower power budgets? Or building data centers that run cooler and support higher power density (probably not great for the environment).

I knew fan power usage could be a substantial amount of a server's power draw, but I didn't realize they would need 320W to move enough air to cool 500W of dissapation.
How do you block sideloading of apps on Android?
I guess, this is a shorthand for "particles studied in quantum physics."
Early Warning Services (Zelle) | Full-time | ONSITE (Seattle, SF, Phoenix) | Sr. AWS DevOps Engineer

I'm looking to add a Sr. Cloud Engineer to the team that works on the cloud infrastructure behind our Zelle and Paze products. We have the typical mix of AWS services provisioned by Terraform.

We're returning to the office three days a week after the first of the year so my preference is for folks located near our offices in San Francisco or our Scottsdale, AZ HQ. I'm in Seattle and hope to have an office here in the near future, so a hire in Seattle would technically be remote with the understanding of transitioning to ONSITE once an office is established.

Early Warning is a bit unusual in structure: we're a private company that's been around for over 30 years and co-owned by Bank of America, Truist, Capital One, JPMorgan Chase, PNC Bank, U.S. Bank and Wells Fargo.

I grew up with a lot of people who lack skills and have bad habits because they were poor.
Wrong thread, this is the "Who is hiring" one... "Who Wants to Be Hired" is what you want. Best of luck!
The reason was to avoid tax advantaging sports cars or luxury sedans for executives. At the time SUVs were utilitarian and unfashionable so dividing by weight seemed an easy way to distinguish between "real" work vehicles and "fake" work vehicles.

Of course it backfired so now 6500 pound SUVs (and even luxury sedans!) are easily acquired.
Of the 3 major providers, I've found Google Cloud to be the most reliable, but when problems happen they are by far the worst to work with. Even getting support to admit that there might be a problem on their end is nearly impossible.
This is about the new release of Anduril's new Roadrunner drone that has multiple uses.

Bloomberg article: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-12-01/anduril-r...

Video of a demonstration strike against a drone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=al9ITeP4fUA

One way I could personally see this being used is pre-launching a bunch of the drones in an area to orbit and wait for incoming drones, or launch several of them per target. Only one is needed to actually destroy the target. Once the targets are destroyed they can return and land, refuel, and then launch again to try and target additional incoming objects.

I can also see it having uses outside of attacking targets as the payload is generic and can be mounted with cameras or sensors instead of an explosive for mid-range target photography (the range is unspecified but just assuming based on size and speed) or as non-military use for surveilance of nearby areas for forest fires or weather investigation.
> Why would anyone still be considering Cybertruck now?

Because of its design and access to super charger network. The F150 lightning is absolute trash and if the Cybertruck turns out to have similar performance, most interested people will just be skipping electric trucks and going for gas.

My local Ford lots are packed with both used and new lightnings because it turns out people don’t like an effective 120 mile range in cold/hot weather without even brining the joke towing range into account.

You can be incredulous at the price, which is fine. But if you can’t possibly imagine why anyone would want to buy this, you’re not trying very hard.

> The vaporware even continues for a couple more months since we still don't have a published start of sales date.

Some customers have them now. That’s not vaporware anymore. Put down the axe you need to grind and be happy companies are trying to disrupt the gas truck market, because as of right now the options aren’t moving the needle.
There is a lot of defense spending that does nothing to support that mission, or does so in a terribly inefficient way. Given the scale of spending we're talking about, many billions of dollars get wasted every year, but folks who get worked up over a few million wasted on research are often unconcerned with 1000 times more wasteful projects as long as they have the military labeled slapped on them.
“Weird YouTube” owes a lot to Spike and Mike’s Sick and Twisted Festival of Animation. It spawned shows like MTV’s Liquid Television.
Like how easy it is to get going but you need to download about 20GB and s2st needs 40GB GPU RAM!

It runs but any audio input (you will need to provide wav not mp3's) I tried (tried 20s/40s/300s) I get just one short sentence returned in target language that seems not related at all to my audio input (i.e. Tous les humains sont créés égaux).

Seems like some default text but it runs on full GPU for 10 minutes. Tons of bug reports in GitHub as well.

Text Translate works but not sure what is the context length of the model. Seems short at first glance (haven't looked into it).

Oh and why is Whisper a dependency? Seems not need if FB has their own model?
Would it be included in TC that your company managed Roth IRA grows by 66% each year? If so, it would be easily the highest on the list.
Even if that were the case, the US could lose a world war without one foreign troop setting foot in the homeland.
Apollo Agriculture | Engineering & DS | Full-time | Amsterdam, NL | https://www.apolloagriculture.com/team

Apollo Agriculture (YC F1) is bringing modern farming to the world's poorest farmers. Millions of farmers globally don't have access to the basic resources the rest of the world depends on for food production: good seed and fertilizer. We sell these on credit, use ML to figure out who we can lend to profitably, and are growing rapidly (two countries and growing).

We are a small, motivated team with SV roots and an ownership culture. Come help us make a real difference in the world!

Hiring for multiple roles:

- Software Engineer: Our core engineering team supports a wide range of tools and processes. Our primary stack is Scala 2 w/ cats, backed by psql. If you are an experienced and practical problem solver, we'd love to meet you.

- Machine Learning Engineer: We build and run several different models to determine credit eligibility, detect fraud, etc. Our ml engineers are hands-on and provide production-ready models for other teams to consume.

- Infrastructure / SRE: Currently this responsibility is spread through the tech team in an ad-hoc manner; we're looking for someone to own and improve the AWS-backed Pulumi and Ansible projects we've created.

... due to our size and focus, we look for candidates who are experienced and can be autonomous -- at least at the "senior" level. Visa sponsorship is possible!

Drop me a line at elijahsmith@apolloagriculture.com if you're interested; I'm happy to chat.
I'm sure we will learn stuff like this when Munro tears one apart
well a strong enough crash will always result in harm to either or both sides. One still has to define the type of crash etc.

I hate these minitanks but I acknowledge it's not simple to test like this.

Make heavier car forbidden on some roads or make them pay proportionally to a ratio of their empty weight vs. weight fully loaded would seem fair. This way trucks are not impacted, but stupidly heavy SUVs are. And apply a factor for EV, due to battery.
The rare pro nuclear-proliferation opinion. Bold. I like it.
i used couchdb (on server, with touchdb on android and ios, pouchdb on web, ..) for this kind of thing. Clients were directly connected to cursors over the localdb. How and when that localdb was exchanging data with server-or-others, was not any more Client's problem :)
IMO this is a failure of Drupal's UX and IA, not just permissions. The software is organized from a DB admin's viewpoint, it's laid out like schema, and has nested layers of configs more complex than my IDE.

The onboarding experience is terrible, too. Compare Wordpress's editing landing page (https://wordpress.com/website-builder/) and editor documentation (https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/wordpress-block-...)

versus Drupal's content editing page (https://www.drupal.org/features/content-authoring), which says nothing at all and just points you to Drupal contractors and sponsors, or its documentation (https://www.drupal.org/docs/user_guide/en/index.html) which is super verbose but has no clear way of getting started.

The whole thing has that "made by developers, for developers" feel, and editors are a complete afterthought. Maybe that was the norm in the 90s and 2000s, but these days there are much more user-friendly, editor-forward options that give them a nice experience out of the box. Drupal never entered that era, and culturally it's still way more focused on the underlying technology than the end-user UX.

It's a CMS that serves admins & management first, developers second, viewers third, and editors last.
Do you have examples of it working well? I haven't heard anything that really impressed me. Nothing close to a good human impersonator. We're a long, long way from replacing voice actors, even considering the rapid rate of progress.

Also, a number of domestic mfrs are switching over the the Tesla charging plug, some as soon as the '24 year models. Don't know what the arrangements for using the network will look like though.
Yeah, this threw me too. Salad Fingers is absolutely pre-YouTube. I remember watching that, Weebl and Bob, Charlie the Unicorn etc etc, all as Flash videos.
