Roboflow | Open Source Software Engineer, Web Designer / Developer, and more. | Full-time (Remote, SF, NYC) | https://roboflow.com/careers?ref=whoishiring0124

Roboflow is the fastest way to use computer vision in production. We help developers give their software the sense of sight. Our end-to-end platform[1] provides tooling for image collection, annotation, dataset exploration and curation, training, and deployment.

Over 250k engineers (including engineers from 2/3 Fortune 100 companies) build with Roboflow. We now host the largest collection of open source computer vision datasets and pre-trained models[2]. We are pushing forward the CV ecosystem with open source projects like Autodistill[3] and Supervision[4]. And we've built one of the most comprehensive resources for software engineers to learn to use computer vision with our popular blog[5] and YouTube channel[6].

We have several openings available but are primarily looking for strong technical generalists who want to help us democratize computer vision and like to wear many hats and have an outsized impact. Our engineering culture is built on a foundation of autonomy & we don't consider an engineer fully ramped until they can "choose their own loss function". At Roboflow, engineers aren't just responsible for building things but also for helping us figure out what we should build next. We're builders & problem solvers; not just coders. (For this reason we also especially love hiring past and future founders.)

We're currently hiring full-stack engineers for our ML and web platform teams, a web developer to bridge our product and marketing teams, several technical roles on the sales & field engineering teams, and our first applied machine learning researcher to help push forward the state of the art in computer vision.

I'm not playing the fool here, I just am one (i.e. ignorant)... wouldn't the plagiarism stuff have come up when she was appointed President? Like would she have had a hearing or something first?
I haven’t seen any AAA games that are developed to work in a browser. I also believe that a lot of APIs in iOS are not available from PWAs.

If someone invested a lot of time and money into making PWAs work great then there shouldn’t be any technical reasons for why you should choose to develop a native app instead of a PWA. At the moment we are lacking in tooling and language support and also leaving a lot of performance on the table.

I love how easy it is to get up and running with a PWA and most of my front end stuff is using PWAs today. From a technical standpoint it still needs a lot of work from the vendor side though.
Its certainly telling that this post got "flagged". Exactly what the opening lines of the article describe: "we don’t have the right to show humanity towards Palestine".
See, I share your experience of spending most of my time improving things that aren't great, but I see it as a good thing. A full two thirds of "do it, do it right, do it better" is about making improvements to something that is already working and useful.

Sure, there is some inefficiency in re-doing already-working things to improve them, but in my view, less so than in spending more time creating a more perfect thing, but which is often the wrong solution or a solution to the wrong problem altogether.

If it were possible to perfectly know that you are creating the definite right solution to the definite right problem, then sure, go nuts! But in the real world this is essentially never the case, so it is better to first "do it", then if that "it" turns out to be useful, to "do it right", and then since that still inevitably won't actually be "right", to "do it better", and then to "do it better" again and again, until "it" is no longer useful.
Apple.com's dev console is perfectly clean with no errors or warnings
If you can trade these tokens, this lets you exchange GPU power for money. People who need a GPU will pay for tokens, and people who have one but don't need it will get paid.

This makes GPU hosting far more competitive and ensures that i.e. participants choose the countries with the cheapest possible energy etc.
Truetrue sorry, I forgot ;)
Cat-like for machines, not humans. What if they had asked which one is more butterfly like and then humans would pick the same one? Prompting humans for a cat is not without consequences - the machines were not prompted to find a cat.
> Most apps today can be implemented as progressive web apps, without any user experience penalty

yeah nah,

the FT, the bastion of PWAs because of the "if you have a subscription, we'll take 25% of that thanks" flipped to native almost as soon as the rules changed.

why? because the user experience sucked bollocks. It was slow, memory hog, and a massive massive bollockache to maintain. Don't get me wrong, thats not because they were bad at making the web app, its because the tech isn't up to scratch.
Why Be Productive (2022)
Jobs are harder to get. Lots of people flooding the market after lay offs. I have 3 positions so far that I went deep into interviews and then it was - there is no budget for the position - it is cancelled, maybe next year.

Pay is also inching lower.
> The actual therapeutic effect would be stopping suicidal ideation

Well, yeah, that's what I meant and that what's the article is about (e.g. the story of Hana K.).
All examples (sheep vs chair, dog vs bottle, cat vs truck, elephant vs clock) are organic vs inorganic.

Perhaps participants are reusing bouba/kiki[1] skills, evaluating whether the image looks organic (rounded) or inorganic (spiky) - and making their choice accordingly.

if Gay hadn't done all that plagiarism, she'd never have gotten there.
I find it sad that she has to resign for that and not for covering for the blattant antisemitism of the campus.
If I understand correctly, WASM only makes sense for compiled languages.

Of course you can run the python interpreter in WASM[1], but that will be at a significant performance disadvantage to the native javascript interpreter, and it's also something that has to be loaded every time you load the website.

Progressive Web Apps? So I can get spammed by spam spamifications? Or so you can attempt to cache some files by building a Rube Goldberg machine on top of a Rube Goldberg machine?

It would be one thing if they gave you some policy control over the browser’s caching engine or let you download a ZIP file and then look up any file you want in it. But as it is it is another terrible Google side project like Compute Engine or Kubernetes or OKRs that they tried to foist on the world…. At least this time people had some sense and said “Nein Danke” like they do in Germany.

What’s tragic about it is that Google controls a freaking web browser and could have come out with something sensible but not we got a side project API to make a fake web server but no simple and reliable storage mechanism to go with it.

… and we got an astroturf campaign second only to TripleByte sponsoring thousands of blog posts on how “hiring is broken” demanding that Apple implement a side-project API on Safari.
What do your power calculations for the effect size say a minimal sample should be?

My stats professor worked in cardiology and he shared a paper about n=1 or 2 studies: "If nobody dies, is everything OK?"
Scaled down from 150 people and high burn to 120, much higher revenue, and clearly on a road to break even. I do find it quite challenging. Financial markets are tighter than they've ever been and it feels out of whack with market rate salaries/and the level of effort people put in.
It's better than Tesseract? That's really impressive.

Could you run a farm of macOS machines and turn this into an API for profit? Would that be legal?
That's be fine if they didn't have a history of shutting down dissenting speech on campus.
> Spoonbill's data sits in two places, crystalized in amber.

You should release the data. It was all public information to begin with, and it has clear historical value in tracking trends like BLM, Ukraine, or cryptocurrency. You could very easily write a paper just on any one of those.

I'm El Nino, a UI/UX designer, graphic designer, and illustrator with more than 5 years of experience working remotely for US/EU/AU-based companies. I'm seeking contract/long-term work ($5,000/month) or project-based work ($5,000/project).

In my free time, I love learning and creating things. Currently, I'm learning Blender and Swift, and I'm building a side project called Vecteor (https://vecteor.com), a library of customizable logos.
Six minutes is a decent response time for ARFF in a large, active airport with no advance warning. They can't just drive straight to the incident site; instead they have to wait for ground clearance to enter any taxiways or runways because there are still other aircraft moving around.
If only this was a Zen 4 Threadripper system with RDIMMs and two U.2 PCIe 4 slots. 96 cores, 256Gb RAM, dual 32Tb U.2 drives in a hotswap RAID-1 array, and I would gladly snag a handful of those units for a mini-cloud. These wouldn’t be production servers, just virtualization testbeds.
If it isn't hard to implement why does no Linux distro besides bottlerocket (specialized for use on AWS and other cloud services) Android and ChromeOS do it?
Regarding implicit type conversion: Arguably, this is the way all scripting language went about that time, and, notably, shell scripting, as well. (Meaning, it was pretty much the expected behavior for a language of that kind. Hence, the appeals for adding this to JS, as well.) JS was much like a shell for the web browser window and not meant to be a full-fledged application language. And, if you really needed it, you could still check the very nature of any value by the use of `typeof`.

The same applies to the "standard library", which is really just a collection of helper functions under the umbrella of a few top-level built-in objects to keep the core language clean.

I'd rather blame the generations of devs implementing add-ons and syntactic sugar according to the fashion of the day and mimicking their respective favorite language, which adds loads of inconsistencies to the various extensions of the language (often leading to duplicate mechanisms and implementations), depending on when it was done. So there is no common way of communicating with these interfaces and no implicit design philosophy (it may be JFX-style, callback based, a promise, functional, whatever). This is even true for the core language, e.g., arrow-functions breaking the basic convention of arguments always coming as a list.
But you'll be paying a python->WASM->sandbox tax. Not only that but you then don;t get access to any hardware acceleration, sensors or any other good stuff.
That's pretty good if you ask me! I was using an image encoder that had a WebAssembly SIMD CMake option, which is nice, but it only had half of native performance. I suppose it will continue to improve over time.
we should code up a real online game to gather the stats here. maybe we'll find a real subliminal messaging model
Same reason evangelical Christians are willing to endorse Trump.

I don’t mean this as a gotcha. When group X criticizes a member of group Y based on standards that group X doesn’t really care about, in order to gain an advantage for group X, group Y will tend to discount those criticisms to a varying degree.

A hearing doesn't imply that they thoroughly checked.

Pleased to meet you! I'm a full stack engineer, ready for immediate hire.
Yes and it has been discussed in the mailing list before [1].

However, I don't think the machines that Dillo is targeting would benefit from adding support for it and it would increase a lot the surface for security problems. Maybe my advise would be to use another browser if you have the computing power to run JS.
I've struggled to find a Software Engineer job for many months, even with FAANG on my resume. It's nowhere as easy as it was when I graduated college 7 years ago.

I send out my resume and barely get any answers. I don't even get a chance to interview.

That being said, I had a good luck streak in December! I'm waiting to hear back from several companies right now.
this comment is fantastic and gives a clear answer to anyone griping about whether this is considered "beating" the game. scruti is the first human to beat the game, now other people will try to beat it in other ways on other levels.
Bad commute has a far stronger influence on my feelings than bad tech or any other attribute of the office itself. Open office plans are a bad idea, we all know that, and hotdesking is absurd - but you could offer me a private suite a la Microsoft in the '90s, in a building equipped with Google amenities, and it would not tempt me at all if I had to drive across town to get there.

In my present job, on the other hand, I work for a remote-first startup with employees around half the globe, where all meetings are video calls and nobody would care (or even notice) if I chose never to visit the office, but I come in almost every day just the same. It's not because the office itself is anything special - it's just a room full of desks in a coworking space - but getting here is an easy walk from home, and the change of scenery is pleasant.
I do love how we try so hard to disambiguate language. Especially hard when working across languages too. And it shows how badly things can go if left to fuzzy language protocols.
Metal detectors, which is what they were describing, find metal that isn't magnetic.
How's this for research: In 2011, when Facebook tried HTML5 for their app, an iPhone 4 ran the Sunspider JavaScript benchmark in a little over ten seconds according to Anandtech. Today we stopped using Sunspider because phones and browsers are so much faster there's no point to it, but an iPhone runs Sunspider in ~70ms. 150 times faster! And today we have APIs for camera, storage, video, 3D, notifications, threads, WASM, etc that didn't exist back then either. When developers can save 30% by going with the web, that's a real big incentive to explore the new performance and new APIs the web has today...

Hi, I'm Isaac, a full-stack Software Engineer based in Los Angeles, CA. Most recently, I built SmoothSail (https://smooth-sail.github.io/#/case-study), a self-hosted, open-source solution for feature flag management.
Well the malware was a sideloaded app, so that seems to rule out iOS (that said, I wonder how she installed the apk without noticing something seemed out of the ordinary, not to mention granting it the permissions it needed...)
The terms "cleared to land" and "cleared for takeoff" are extremely specific (a regulation written in blood like many aviation rules), but "cross runway" and "line up and wait" also give permission for aircraft to enter the runway.

The word "cleared" is often used for IFR clearance delivery as well which gives you permission to navigate via a planned route to a particular point, so it's much more common than just takeoffs and landings.
Agreed, this is why I'm much more excited about the possibility of sideloading native apps.
The argument you're replying to is "if healthcare is a right, then you don't need to go other routes."

Sort of like, "if you have nothing to hide, why value privacy?"

It overlooks the fact that, while these substances are useful in therapeutic contexts, that's not the _only_ value they have. And, even if they were not strictly useful in other contexts, that wouldn't preclude a right to use them "recreationally".

So, I totally agree with you.

I wish people could separate out complex issues like this into their 3-5 most significant constituent parts. For example: personal sovereignty/freedoms, public health implications, medicinal value, social harm/risk, cultural impact.

There are a lot of reasons to be either in favor or opposed to psychedelics, and then on top of that to support strict or permissive controls. To conflate those all into one issue is reductive and it stifles discussion and progress.

Sorry for the rant. Just wanted to get these thoughts out.
Unless you have a weak hash function anyway you probably don't need to double it up (unless it's a weird non-standard construction like what Bitcoin does, there it's absolutely needed). Just use truncated blake2bp or something like that.
Even if the outcome is the right one, mob justice doesn't sit well.

Commit summaries are typically viewed as lists (though not always, and in that case you often have more context, e.g., the rest of the message and the diff)

We optimize them as we would list entries in any other thing we design for human consumption.

Btw, we didn't refer to these specific articles when we made our decision, I found them just now.

I updated my article with links to these. Thanks again for the discussion.
SEEKING WORK || USA registered co-op, remote OK Tech: Javascript / Node anything (frameworks, flavors, engines), Python, deployment, hosting, etc forms of web development. Full stack, devops, integrations. Also recently we have a lot of new members with Java / Spring, Ruby / Rails, PHP, and web game dev (pixijs, phaser).

I'm a member of the software engineering co-op 508.dev LLC. We're web-environment specialized developers that as a team for previous clients have upgraded old builds to be serverless (jovono.com) and project managed, architected, and built from scratch an entire SASS frontend for a Ycombinator startup (cofactr.com).

Our site is https://508.dev. My personal resume as the founder and lead engineer is https://calebjay.com/resume.html.

Thanks to an interview by a niche Youtuber as well as a little recruitment effort here on HN, our co-op membership has exploded, so we have lots of new stacks and skills available, like data science, game dev, and more backend stacks involving for example Java / Spring. We also finally have some PHP and Ruby folks around! We have no minimum project size and have plenty of capacity right now for projects large and small.

Happy to chat about work you need doing, joining our team, our somewhat unique structure as a co-op, or whatever else, at caleb@508.dev. I actually really like chatting so hit me on email about literally whatever :)

MS had licensed JavaScript – and, of course, their implementation was incompatible (at least in certain parts).
I believe they were only uncovered (re-uncovered?, but definitely largely publicized) after those who were dissatisfied with her congressional testimony looked deeper into her past for more ammunition to use in their push to remove her as president.
This entire series of articles is surely well intended, but so delusional.

Personal blogs were killed with the arrival of social networks. Enthusiasts still blog, which is great, I'm just saying it doesn't move any needles. The typical information consumer is on their phone, has 1 or 2 social media apps, and checks their feed with minimal effort to optimize it, largely relying on algorithms, which is the entire reason people keep coming back.

The typical user of HN will be different, but the point is that you're the exception.

Mastodon is similar to the personal blog situation. A charming attempt, but nothing more. It's a delusion to think that it will fundamentally change the nature of social networks.

It's an enthusiast network of misfits. 80% is left-wing Twitter refugees. Federation is broken (it can't even sync likes or replies), there's constant moderation wars, and the ever-present danger of your account, your followers and all your content getting lost. The network can't scale because bills sky-rocket at the first sign of popularity and that doesn't even include the fact that most social media is video content these days.

If you like Mastodon, good for you. But stop with the delusions.
They are, that's why Android enforces notification channels. I don't know about iOS though as I don't use it.
This feels like you're putting words in that user's mouth.
> Which part of her response do you take issue with?

Not GP, but what I found most objectionable about the situation is that Harvard has not stood up for academic freedom/free speech in recent years, but now they want to pretend that it's the value they hold the most dear. This rings hollow, and makes it look like they are fair-weather fans that use the banner of free speech to protect their favored groups and bludgeon the disfavored ones.

A Harvard professor put it this way:

> “The problem with the university presidents saying that calls for genocide are not punishable is that they have such a risible record of defending free speech in the past that they don’t have a leg to stand on,” Dr. Pinker said in an interview.
Easy to use initially, because of the designer. But as the application scales, it becomes more and more painful. Thinking about components randomly disappearing but still being there, designer crashes. Small changes that require you to manually drag around 60% of the form, to add or remove one field.
She came under fire for their dry responses to a line of questioning from Republican representative Stefanik, who asked whether “calling for the genocide of Jews” would violate the college’s code of conduct.

But the premise of the question was nonsense[1], as Peter Beinart has made clear. The premise being „intifada“ meaning „an attempt at genocide of jews“ when it actually means „uprising“.

It was acutally about silencing the Pro-Palestinian support at American universities in light of wealthy donors threatening to cut funding.

I think you misunderstand the experiment. They take an image of the flower, they perturb it so that the neural network classifies it as a "cat". They take another copy, perturb it so that the neural network classifies it as a "truck". They ask the subjects which one is more cat-like. A coin will choose the correct image 50% of the time. Likewise, a human that is not influenced by the pertubations will also pick correctly 50% of the time (as long as there is no systematic influence like the correct one is always on the right, the interviewer is unaware, etc.). What they found is that humans do pick the correct one more frequently than random.
