Holly Wu (she/they)

I've been doing full-stack webdev in one form or another for a decade and a half now (5 years in industry, 10+ as a hobby), with experience spanning from Fortune 50's to early-stage startups. My two biggest draws are positive-impact roles and unique challenges requiring unconventional solutions, with emphasis on the latter - after a series of product-oriented roles, I'm looking for something a bit off the beaten path.

I also love to code in my spare time! My latest major project is Ectype [0], a "language extension" that brings static types to vanilla JavaScript without requiring code transformation, which I presented [1] at Strange Loop 2023.

Most cases when a company shares the codebase it's to give you freedom to explore what you'll be working with while they decide what specifics tasks you'll be undertaking.

Skyways (YC 2017 batch) | Austin, TX or Pittsburgh, PA | Onsite | Full Time | https://skyways.com

At Skyways we believe fully autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles represent a unique opportunity to move things today but also people tomorrow in new, more efficient ways. With our very pragmatic approach to the problem we now signed national and international customers, institutional and soon commercial ones this year. We do release early, release often and we fly our own aircraft almost every day.

We are looking for a senior software engineer to lead the software and autonomy effort at Skyways. This role involves at least 50% coding, the other 50% being design, reviews, and leading the team from a technical standpoint. If you're interested in a super high impact and hands on position at the intersection of backend, frontend, traditional software engineering, ML, robotics, embedded, cloud, apply or DM us on linked in.

Directly apply here SW Tech lead: https://jobs.lever.co/skyways/12bda2a3-4783-442b-8c03-384f61...

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital | Staff Software Engineer, Rust Genomics Infrastructure | Memphis, TN | ONSITE or REMOTE | https://www.stjude.cloud/

The St. Jude Cloud (https://stjude.cloud) project is hiring Rust software engineers to rebuild the genomics ecosystem in Rust. We work on the forefront of computational genomics by applying advanced computational techniques to analyzing genomics data then sharing that data with the world. Come work with the individuals that wrote the Rust-based bioinformatics library, noodles (https://github.com/zaeleus/noodles), as well as many other projects (https://github.com/stjude-rust-labs).

NOTE that prior experience in bioinformatics or biology is NOT required for any of the positions below. We're just looking for amazing engineers, but rest assured, we teach biology/genomics/bioinformatics from scratch routinely. You must be interested in learning though! If you'd like to get a sense of what you'd be learning, check out the guide we wrote to teach software engineers about genomics here: https://learngenomics.dev.

If you have questions, you can reach out to me (the project lead) with questions at Clay.McLeod AT stjude DOT org.

That sounds much longer than it should. I am not sure on your exact use-case but I would encourage you to check out Marqo (https://github.com/marqo-ai/marqo - disclaimer, I am a co-founder). All inference and orchestration is included (no api calls) and many open-source or fine-tuned models can be used.
They could just allow the iOS app to be used on macOS (Apple Silicon), I‘d happily use that. But for some reason, they don’t.
Oh, that's interesting! I've only ever needed Command-P for webpages, and on Firefox, for me, Command-P saves to PDF by default so I've never had to worry about that.
Right! In a chaotic situation, the idea of hierarchy goes out the window. It is essential that all act rationally as much as possible and make the best decisions that they can with what information is available to them. And it is essential that all staff (flight crew, cabin crew) act with celerity as well to avoid panic among the passengers. Because if the passengers are left on their own then conflicts are more likely to arise just merely on account of the number of passengers being large, and conflicts in such a situation are very likely to be deadly.
Ah thanks. I have never used _Generic, but I fully agree that "atomics as an operation rather than a type qualifier" is the superior design.
Veritably.ai | 100% Remote, anywhere | Founding engineers sought

Veritably is, as yet, a bunch of prototyping looking to become a company. The grand scheme is to become a general document validation/verification automation pipeline. Think, ISO standards compliance.

We are currently a two person team working with VisionEncoder/Decoder Models and traditional algorithms (mostly python) to assess the completeness and correctness of documents like ISO 26262 Hazard and Risk assessments.

We are looking for engineers with an interest in document processing, standards compliance, Functional Safety and the like to join us in solving some ugly real world problems. Let's face it, modern companies tend to produce documentation in a fairly random mix of 'looks about right' PDFs and excel (tm) spreadsheets. This is time consuming, tedious work that really could use the application of some intelligent machine processing.

We're looking for partners, not employees. If your curious, mail: mark.washeim@veritably.ai
Text looks normal to me. What's the issue?

Runway Status Lights (RWSL) are close to what you're describing. If surface surveillance radar detects that a runway is occupied, it turns on red warning lights at the runway approach end and at the hold-short bars.

The nice thing is that the entire system is ground-based, no additional equipment needed in the aircraft.

However, it's complicated/expensive, so only a handful of airports have it installed.

Compression possibly? I'm seeing .webps on the paper. Putting them into webpinfo gives me:

So since they're lossy, maybe the subtly is lost?

I would argue very strongly that Facebook is alone in scale, breadth, and controversy in the space they operate in. The only winning move is not to play.

All of the competitors you've mentioned are orders of magnitude smaller.
Yup, LLMs have the potential to ruin huge swaths of the internet, and I'm not sure it's a solvable problem. There are tells with the current models, but future models will be different and better. Detection and blocking could become an arms race that ends up being untenable to keep up with for many productive people and platforms.
Took me a while to realize that it treats a (potentially repeating) key press as the condition to turn around, which badly messes with you if you assume the game has direct control.

> Innovation generally tries things that look good to politicians who don't understand trains, but in reality people who understood trains 100 years ago had the idea and rejected it as a bad idea - and the reasons they are bad ideas didn't change!

I'm all for respecting old ideas but this idea that modern engineers are idiots and can't think of anything people 100 years didn't think of is also wrong.

> Make sure when you look at standards above you look at what others have done. If you have an idea odds are someone else has already tried it: find them and figure out how it works - sometimes you can tweak to be better sometimes you realize it is a bad idea.

I don't disagree.

In the context of Crossrail, this seems to be what they have done for the most part. So I don't understand the criticism.
My heretical comment. Any neutral policy that helps white man from a poor low education background will help a black man from the same. Probably even more. My snide thought on why people don't want to pursue such things is those things tend to flatten the class structure. Where policies that try to make the upper class more diverse don't.

'It's totally fair because sometimes the foot in the boot is brown. So quit your bitching'
This is neat but the UI is a bit confusing to me... how do you tell which way a "shortcut" goes? Some seem to go forward and some backwards. Mentally I think of a loop as "going backwards" so this confused me, e.g. I expected basic demo [0] to loop at the 2 o'clock position.

And how do you "activate" a loop in a track when there are multiple possible auto-generaed loops [1]? Is it just random? Or am I missing something? It would be nice to be able to control it.

There are LCDs with a refresh rate more than double 60Hz, so even with entire frames worth of latency they could still be faster than a 60Hz CRT
Ah ha! It's all good, happens to the best of us.
I found the input really intuitive. Personally I preferred it to having invisible zones on the touch screen that react differently
I used to shout the name of HBO from the housetops, as they always had something to keep me paying up each month, even if it were only the one show. After the latest acquisition (who is it this week? Warner?), throwing in all the Discover crap, et al., in addition to not having a show we want to watch, we finally just cancelled what used to be HBO streaming. Customer from Day One, and they lost me. The last straw was when I went to go finish the final season of West World and...now I can't. WTF, HBO? Used to be you could watch the entire back catalog (Six Feet Under was, what, 25 years ago?). Now I can't finish the final season of a show that was released in the last couple of years.

Netflix: if T-Mobile didn't pay most of the sub, we'd cancel. We've certainly subscribed to their streaming since the first day, and we were very early to the DVD mailing service. But with little content of interest lately, they are about to lose an early subscriber, too.

We sub to Paramount once a year to binge various Star Treks, then cancel.

The only month-to-month sub we keep is Apple TV+, which is to us the new HBO: they always have at least one show we want to watch. And, like the HBO of old, if it's on Apple TV it's probably good. Might not be to our tastes, but it's probably a good production.

No worries! It's important that proper credit is given especially when he's done so much to push things forward in the generative art space.
It is so the flight attendants can see outside, and also so the passengers’ eyes are adapted to outside light in case of an evacuation. You don’t want people hesitating on the slides because they can’t see.
> That [pgvector index creation time] sounds much longer than it should... I would encourage you to check out Marqo

Your comment makes it sound like Marqo is a way to speed up pgvector indexing, but to be clear, Marqo is just another Vector Database and is unrelated to pgvector.
I think 'cutting the cord', ie., streaming content instead of paying for cable, was supposed to be the driver behind much lower monthly fees. But even 5 years ago, when I added up monthly fees for each streaming service needed to replicate what I had on cable, it was still ridiculously expensive. And it's even worse today with much higher fees. To your point about paywalled websites, the internet isn't the tool it was 20 or even 30 years ago. As others have pointed out, it's the shittification of the web. 20 years ago, I really looked forward to watching HBO on Sunday nights. These days, it's hard to get excited about any content.
Perception of psychotherapeutic progress does not equal progress. Anyone can convince themselves of almost anything, for any number of reasons. Including convicning themselves of a therapeutic effect.

Conversely, "therapeutic" processing of trauma often occurs subconsciously. Such as during sleep, and arguably more so as sleep quality improves.

Instead of looking for benefit, at least for now, the concentration should be on an assessment of harm. Only in that context will a future study on possible benefit be informative.
The average controller makes 120K as it is. That may not be a lot for people in the software world accustomed to making big bucks, but it's not terrible -- close to 90th percentile.
The studies are designed this way to keep the shaman in the equation when the drugs become treatments. Informal polling over decades shows MDMA is pretty impressive on its own.

We need a clinical study where a group of veterans with PTSD is given MDMA and an isolated quiet place to go for several hours. Each of them is told they're receiving a drug that cures PTSD. The placebo effect paired with the brain rewiring effect of MDMA will cure more people than any other method and demonstrate that the effect is self-contained.

Maybe they looked into it and found it wasn’t super relevant nor interesting, but while reading the paper I found myself wondering about the “edit distances” in those typos.

Ex: ‘e’ is dot, ‘t’ is dash; making a /t/e/ substitution seem very plausible, and my hypothesis is that including that extra layer of info would be interesting. I didn’t go through all the others, and would also be willing to believe it’s a dead end.
Isn't that already handled by juries recommending, and judges proclaiming, different sentences depending on the crimes committed, circumstances around the crime, and the person that committed them? There isn't a strict rule of "found guilty of X crime = Y years in jail sentence". It's all circumstantial.
It's not - or it should not be - a uniquely conservative position that calling for genocide against Jewish people should be considered a violation of the Harvard code of conduct.

The biggest disappointment here was the racist administrator was not fired and not fired for racism.

Over in The Netherlands we're seeing the opposite happen. Seemingly trivial laws are getting rejected because the responsible Ministry considers it "too difficult". In reality it's most likely just politically inconvenient.

For example, it was deemed "impossible" to adjust student loan interest rates, because the software would take two years to modify. Either they are completely incompetent, or they are deliberately lying for political reasons.

So yeah, refusing a law because it is "too complex" won't work either.

Bezos talks about this a lot. Decisions can either be significantly important to get right and worth spending the time to explore fully all the options --- or not so much, but only if the cost of getting it wrong is cheap. The key is realizing this dichotomy exists, and then figuring out how to identify the problem in front of you as one or the other.

I used simulated annealing in my previous work doing molecular dynamics- it was great for not getting your protein trapped in a local minima, which gradient descent is prone to doing. I got excellent results for very little work.

I asked my intern, who was knowledgeable in deep networks as well as molecular stuff, "it looks like ML training mainly does gradient descent, how can that work, don't you get stuck in local minima?" and they said "loss functions in ML are generally believed to be bowl-shaped" and I've been wondering how that could be true.

It's interesting to read up on the real-world use of annealing for steel - it's quite intersting how you can change steel properties through heat treatment. Want it really strong? Quench it fast, that will lock it into an unstable structuer that's still strong. Quench it slow, it will find a more stable minimum, and be more ductile.
Reminds me of the old joke, “how do you make a Venetian blind?”. Which I’m sure was a popular question in 1204.
Is app development only a 2 party system: native vs Electron? You seem to imply that it is. I disagree.
OK, well, in spirit I can see how that sentiment arises. For practical purposes, though, no matter how simple a calculation, if a government requires that I do it, I want to see precisely what it's demanding. It is unreasonable to be put in the position of guessing.
Not really? Sam's club is doing fine competing against Costco. And I doubt their 'digital media budget' is anything significant either.

I run a small startup. It's 2 people (myself and my brother). We have established not only product market fit, but extreme customer stickiness as well as traction with some really big clients. Slow and steady as we go.

We still burn through the little cash we have (haven't raised yet; just reinvesting all proceeds into the business) even without paying ourselves. Turns out that marketing and brand awareness is tough. That said, it's probably easier for some tech products than a physical consumable good (I am in the food space) because you don't have to constantly make the product, you build it once and you ship it. You might update it but your core functionality is complete(ish).

But to your point - too many startups I've come across are simply solutions looking for a problem. And those solutions are raising stupid amounts of cash, somehow. I don't get it. I'm in South Florida. I can't tell you how many times I've gone to tech events (I am a former tech PM just wanting to stay up-to-date with the happenings in my city) and heard of some insane idea that's managed to raise millions at a pie-in-the-sky valuation.

Who in the hell is funding all these clearly dumb ideas?
