Ask HN: Industries to Work with Algorithms?
Hey there - I am a Sr Software Engineer, working right now at a fintech, but most of my work for the past years have been working with APIs. Connecting to 3rd parties API and exposing our own API. So most of the work is implementing business logic in an API, though taking care of security, and a lot of boring (at least for me, now) stuff.

I always liked algorithms (especially when I studied them back in college), and after a talk with a friend who works with trading algorithms I realized I loved to pivot to work on a position that would allow me to design or at least improve algorithms. I want to do more of a work where I care more about the algorithm and its output, more than DB idnexes or stuff like that.

I would like to know which industries would offer that kind of positions (I'd guess industries related to trading stock, or localization/maps, for example), but I am sure I am missing something. Also, if someone knows, I guess that going into a position like that would mean I should start as a junior since it's a different kind of position?

Thanks!
Do you have any sources on that? I wouldn't be surprised though, with populism and Euro-skepticism at all time highs.

So you admit it's not completely worthless at that point only for specific use cases.

> 2023 is going to be the "Make or Break" year. I ultimately need to determine if the project is going to continue. To date, it's nowhere near sustainable. The income doesn't cover the cost of the project, meaning that it's not only unable to allow me to pay for my cost of living, but I continue to rack up debt, borrowing money, to keep the project functional.

> This isn't new information if you've followed the over 1,200 announcements I've made since Sept 2018. The data is available should you wish to look at the GitHub Sponsorships and do the simple math required to calculate income from Udemy. It would be great for the project to keep going. I'm hopeful, but more than hope's required to keep the project going.

So if you like this project and want to see it around in the future, please support it.

Never entrust consistent state to things based on arguments and opinions.
For some things, perhaps? Or some target accuracy/precision measures on others and fines for failing those. In the EU, individual harm can be quite cheap for corporations in some countries, that might also be an avenue.

...and at the time, all previously-bought content (AFAIK) was eligible for upgrading to DRM-free status.

And while I've never had this particular weird problem, I have tens of gigabytes of music in my iTunes library that were never bought from Apple in the first place, which sync to my other devices just fine. No manual copying required.

And, um...how would you even "manually copy" music to an iPhone or iPad? The only way I know of puts it in the Files app, rather than the Music app, leaving it unable to be played "as music" (though you can, of course, still play the audio files one by one).

Something doesn't seem right here.

This resonates strongly with me. I've had some success by building personal productivity systems/workflows and sticking to them, but it definitely feels like I'm developing coping mechanisms to compensate for something that others don't even need to think about.

Everything else falls under “eat a healthy balanced diet”. And supplementing doesn’t help.

Exactly. I used Unity starting from almost the first release, and attended Unite in 2007.

Unity was seen as a hobby engine then, we used it for the web, but for desktop used Unreal. Godot today is way ahead of where Unity was in 2007ish.

Maybe having kids' futures set at middle school is not such a great idea? And the dog-eat-dog winner-takes-all underlying that.

This isn't true at all, but it is at least a common trope among technologists. There's lot of things we don't pursue, and lots of technology we control. We could be investing tons of R&D into improving nuclear weapons. We don't. But either way, “us vs them” doesn’t matter when you’re talking about h leashing some hypothetical non-human superintelligence. The “them” is the AI and you cannot control it.

> There's a point though about how social media algorithms have toxified society in a big way by promoting content that gets people worked up.

You can find people making the exact same argument anywhere you like in history as a reason we should forbid free speech and free press. It is not new or unique to social media, and the historical consequences of unfounded rumors and misinformation have often been quite deadly, from mass violent riots to brutal unjustified suppressions to wars.

The "but misinformation" argument is so not new, you can find people arguing in the Constitutional Convention about "designing men" riling up the masses with fake news for political ends. [1]

Lost on later generations in the west, I think. I have a confession to make: that nuke - machine gun analogy is not mine, but that of a military officer from a non-Chinese southeast Asian navy I had chatted up[1] at a conference.

I would not be terribly surprised if the showdown in East Asia sees unconventional usage of tactical weapons, as area denial or similar.

Even if a tactical weapon was employed against a USN carrier in theatre, it's honestly a hard call if that warrants tactical weapons against PLA land targets, because those will have inevitable civilian casualties. Probably mass casualties. If we happen to have decent US executive leadership at that moment, they'll probably see that the risk of a countervalue exchange is too high, and opt for conventional land strikes, a terse warning[2], and some serious international consequences. Otherwise the only other good option is total commitment, and praying for forgiveness.

In fact, laying out that red line the instant shooting starts is probably not a bad idea. Let's play with planes and boats (and sailor's lives) for a while, but keep your big guns in the holster.

The Revised Psychology of Human Misjudgment, by Charlie Munger
Wow, love this, thanks, such a broad subject that interdisciplinary opportunities must abound. Work like this combined with the huge amount of effort in open source work to move quickly from examples in papers to running code makes for an exciting future.

Visualising this volume of data on a mobile device is always going to be challenging, personally I'm hoping that moves in AR, Rollup/Folding Displays and projected screens will shift things towards larger screens. Mobile phones are cool, but you lose a lot of interaction potential moving from a 27" screen to 6".

We get our teeth checked once or twice a year. I honestly think we’d catch a lot if we did the same with blood tests. We’d probably save a lot on healthcare with early detections and corrections.

(+) Larry Summers on the board and overseeing the report is a really good choice. Summers is truly a high-intellect individual (entered MIT at age 16 to study physics, one of the youngest tenured professors in Harvard). More importantly, he is known to be someone who thinks for himself, can't be controlled, and can sort relevant from irrelevant. Blunt and arrogant too.

Very hard to turn down the volume as an individual actor. It's a social dilemma (sic). I remember a recent poll indicating students would pay for /others/ to use their devices less.

It is no random accident that the Church sees itself as the 'body of Christ'. That body, social fabric in modern parlance, is splintering at accelerating pace, thanks to digital comms -- thanks facebook. Uncharted rough waters for a social species like ourselves.

the side project needs to solve a problem and be useful.

If you don't have an idea take the problem of writing an offer for a service like an ad campaign (ad - size - weeks running - price) in a local newspaper, people need to calculate it, word it and format it into a pdf or something to send. Program the calculation from the sqlitedb prices, rope in gpt to word it and offer a number of combinations etc. and use a library or program to create the nicely layouted pdf. It needs to get the input via a form hosted on a linux box in the local newspaper office so the windows dudes and the mac dudes can use it and nobody needs to install nothing.

First of all we don't know what happened, only what people said happened.

Also, there is no fight over what the independent report is going to conclude. That is already decided, and the whole thing is a PR charade.

What about artists who are not performing artists? Not many people are going to pay to watch someone with just basic guitar or piano skills and an ordinary singing voice write a song, no matter how great the song turns out to be.

They might later pay to watch and listen to excellent instrumentalists and singers perform that song, so concerts might work for them. Presumably the composer can charge those performers...but how much?

You usually can't figure out the worth of a song beforehand, so if it is going to be a one-time upfront payment from the performers to the composer it is hard to figure out the right price.

You can wait until after the song has been released and see much the concert tour makes and how many people buy copies of the song or listen to it on streaming services and that gives you a good idea of the worth of the song.

Upfront you'd have to agree on how the worth is calculated and how the price is calculated from that. But this is then going to depend on how much revenue the song brings and so sounds an awful lot like a royalty arrangement, just with a lump payment at the end of the license instead of more frequent smaller payments along the way.

Sometime dead pixels are not a fully on-off affair, so taking a dark frame is really needed, and you don't want to be doing that too often because then the camera is not usable then.

It sucks, but it is what it is, and it's not too difficult to batch remove dead pixels - if you even notice them.

Haven't read all of that, but it strikes me that some of these authors like Freud and Levi-Strauss are perfectly understandable without much background. Haven't tried Kant but other authors consider him very methodic and logical, about the opposite of Deuleuze, and he's a big inspiration for the very readable Schopenhauer.

Maybe Hegel and Heidegger are where things get complicated.
I tend to think it's a side effect of having a curious mind. Anyone can saute onions. It's the curious that stop to ask, "Why does this taste so good and how can I do it again?" I think the best chef's are the one's that are curious in the same way.

So, imagine you need to evaluate applications for some line of credit by reading the documents associated and classifying the businesses in a taxonomy of business types. Depending on volume this could be millions of documents. You can prime an LLM context with the taxonomy and examples of each, then evaluate each document in a clean primed context asking for a classification if it’s clear and a request for review if it’s not clear. This works exceptionally well in practice, almost double the precision and recall of humans.

Businesses are replete with similar relatively trivial classification problems that often require armies of low paid low skill workers but are fairly crucial to the ongoing operations of the business. Chat bots are the default thing people gravitate to with LLMs because they’re the example in chatgpt. But that’s a really uncreative use of the tech, and the domain they’re exposed to is pretty open ended leaving them subject to hallucination, prompt injection, etc. A more constrained domain with more business impact is where I see meaningful applications happening.
I’ve been joking with friends and colleagues about this for years (although in my mind, it was Twitter DMs, or a newsletter).

The fact that CEOs talk to each other has been plainly obvious to me for quite some time. Every single instance of coordination can always be explained away, but the pattern seems rather clear when you take a step back and look at the broader context.
It affects RAW photos, too. You also have similar artifacts sometime from on-sensor phase detection pixels.
So it's a mix of pattern matching and Lisp? That looks pretty useful, I'm going to give it a try.
Let’s use your example. How would you feel if, due to a disagreement with the publisher over the quality of ink, the publisher was “forced” to break into your house while you eat breakfast and rip the newspaper out of your hands? This is what happens today. They’ve colluded to redefine the verb “buy” due to “licensing”, and it’s sick.

I can also confirm this.

I've driven by car from Bucharest to Methoni (at the South-Western tip of the Peloponnese) this past autumn and early on during the trip I started counting the battle-places I was passing by: Giurgiu and the 1812 war between Tsarist Russia and the Ottomans, Pleven and the 1878 war between the same Tsarist Russia and the Ottomans, driving down towards Thessaloniki I was thinking about the cemeteries of Western WW1 soldiers located nearby, I spent my night somewhere between Kozani and Ioannina, in Northern Greece, which had been a very active front in the Greek Civil War, next day I passed close to Missolonghi, passed on the magnificent bridge at Patras close to where the Lepanto battle had taken place, and then on to the Peloponnese and Methoni itself. But not before passing close to the ancient Old Navarino castle nearby Pylos, the same Pylos where the naval Battle of Pylos took place during the Peloponnesian War, shortly followed by the Battle of Sphacteria. And Methoni itself was the location of three battles [1] involving the Venetians and the Ottomans.

And then, on my way back, I visited the exceptional Mystras Archeological Site [2], seeing Western Gothic architecture as a part of the Byzantine/East-Roman complex, in the middle of the Peloponnese, was really a very cool experience, highly recommend it.

Btw, speaking of the Slavs and the Southern Peloponnese and Mystras, the nearby mountains had been inhabited by this Slavic tribe back in the day, the Melingoi [3], I hadn't know that before physically visiting those places

> The Melingoi or Milingoi (Greek: Μηλιγγοί) were a Slavic tribe that settled in the Peloponnese in southern Greece during the Middle Ages.
