Frec | Software Engineer | Onsite (San Francisco Bay Area) | Full-time | Visa sponsorship

Frec's mission is to give everyone access to the same tools used by the ultra wealthy to build long term wealth. Many advanced wealth creation strategies, such as direct indexing, are now ready for mass adoption due to technological advances in machine learning and financial tooling over the past decade.

- You will be working with a small team of experienced engineers and designers, less than 10, across all areas of the stack w/ focus on the user facing apps.

- You will work collaboratively on the entire life cycle of the software development – from collecting requirements, to iterating on design, to implementation, and finally testing and operations. You will have the autonomy to drive large critical features/products end-to-end like integrating the concept of tax optimization into the existing product, handling stock transfers etc.

We're hiring for:

- Frontend engineer (react, typescript, nextjs, etc.)

- iOS (SwiftUI, iOS ecosystem tooling) with 2+ years experience

Is the market really that dumb? I'm increasingly thinking about becoming an active investor.
You understood the point I was trying to make in that piece, congratulations!
That can't be it, see the "If they filed a suit, they would uncover my identity" part.
As theories go I like it, but I don't think the headline and conclusion are supported by the article. The meat seems to be that math was important, but materials science and manufacturing technique to achieve greater precision was most critical.

> The pioneers of the Industrial Revolution valorized precision...

This phrase to me is the key of the whole thing. They weren't excited about what we would recognise today as maths. They wanted accurate manufacturing and measurement.

That does naturally dovetail into improved mathematical technique, but I think it is incorrect to say that math is the driver here. Precision is the driver. That has remained true to today by the way (most precise manufacturing? semiconductors).

1. The satellite needs to be passing overhead at an angle where you can see it, and clear skies etc.

2. The sky needs to be dark enough to see it (so twilight or night)

3. The satellite needs to be illuminated by the sun.

4. The satellite needs to reflect enough light that you can see it.

Basically this happens just before sunrise, and just after sunset. So the ground and sky are dark (allowing you to see through the atmosphere), and the satellite - being at high altitude - is still illuminated.

As they pass overhead, you can often see them suddenly vanish as they pass into the Earth's shadow.

The International Space Station is a good one to find, as it's quite bright (very large).

There are various websites and apps; some phone apps use the GPS and magnetometer to show you what direction and time to look, and a search tool to look for visible objects at your location. It used to be really good with the old Iridium satellites, which gave a bright flash due to their large flat antennas.

I'm a bit surprised that the author went to the trouble of faking the CNN "screenshot", but allows it to look off. It purports to be viewing a page from an old version of MSIE on Windows, but it doesn't pass the sniff test.

* The URL bar displays http://www.cnn.com, but the true URL is http://www.cnn.com/TECH/computing/9909/17/g4.ban.idg/

* The images aren't loaded. This is naturally expected of an article loaded 20+ years after publication. But if the screenshot was grabbed in the past, you would expect the images to also work.

* The font is "Times Roman" used on Apple devices, not the "Times New Roman" on Microsoft ones. Subtle differences in letters like "5" and "S" exist: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Times_Roman_vs_Times...
It's not extreme at all, it's the bare minimum that professionals do.

Absolutely none of my personal stuff ever touches a corporate machine. Ever. I wouldn't even log in to the W2 downloading app as an employee from the work machine.

Granting work ssh keys access to your personal machine is crazy; if your work machine gets compromised, they steal your entire personal system's home directory too. Why would you unnecessarily expand the blast radius of a compromise like this?
Just throwing this out there, but has anyone else seen 'formations' of satellites? I've only seen them once but there were about 5 to 10 (it was a while ago) of what I'm assuming are satellites moving in a line formation at high speeds across the night sky. They're too distant and too fast to be planes so I'm assuming they are some sort of military formation of satellites?
Why don't they just use the Meta-verse? They could save on party supplies. Missed dogfooding opportunity.

America would do everything it possibly could to avoid a nuclear exchange. It's literally the only feasible military threat to the country. As long as nukes remain taboo, America gets to play world police and mostly get away with being a bully in some places, because what are you going to do, fight them?

If you are willing to die to American soldiers 10:1 like the NVA or most of the middle east, you can prevent America from "winning", but you're still going to be living in a bombed out hellhole while teens share celebrity gossip in American homes with zero fear for their lives.

So, if you don't do business in India, why follow the court order?

I understand Reuters taking down the article, but why would Lawfare or other blogs comply? What could an Indian court possibly do to someone entirely outside of their jurisdiction? It seems like the most appropriate response is "no, and we're going to publish the demand letters," which is exactly what techdirt did.

Let Rajat Khare - the guy who is likely behind Appin - file in a US (or EU, or wherever) court. In the US, at least, he'd have to provide some evidence that the article isn't true, which he probably can't.

Ehh ~15 years in startups, wearing lots of different hats, but mostly some flavor of full stack web developer, including devops and data engineering. I've also done some management (although I'm aiming for the "Staff Engineer" track), customer-facing engineering ("solution architect"), and a wee bit of embedded / on-device work. I pick up new stuff pretty quickly when there's a problem in front of me, and I'm that rare extrovert engineer, so bring on the social parts of the job!

My career has two pillars: internal engineering, and customer-facing engineering. When I'm doing internal engineering, I focus on high-quality foundational work that then makes it super easy to iterate the product. When I'm doing customer-facing stuff (B2B), I'm deploying the company's technology to solve the client's problems.

For the last few jobs, my bosses have been telling me I'm ready to be a CTO, so if you're looking for a technical cofounder... let's chat!

the search business has always been caught between delivering simple and to the point results to users and skewing results to generate return on investment to advertisers.

in its early years google was also refreshingly simple and to the point. the billion then trillion dollars market capitalization placed pressure on them to deliver financial results, the ads spam grew like a cancer. openai is destined for the same trajectory, if only faster. it will be poetic to watch all the 'ethical' censorship machinery repurposed to subtly weigh conversations in favor of this or other brand. pragmatically, the trillion dollar question is what will be the openai take on adwords.

Stop listening to anything else other than your own. Just read the 10Q. After cutting the fat, its about 8-10 pages, every 3 months. Lets say you follow 20 companies. That about the size of one book every three months. Not an entertaining read, but definitely enriching one.
I wonder - does saying "<thing> - but now with AI!" actually work? Like do normies buy this stuff? I don't know any normies, but I'm very curious to hear from those that do. Do they fall for this "<thing> plus AI!" that I hear in every single advert now?
The landing page (readme, in the case of GitHub repos) is way too important. Even a one-click barrier to an examples page obscures the information unacceptably. UX principles also apply to documentation.

> There's enough common agreement on what cozy or chill mean.

Maybe? I don't know. I do know that I often see people using the same subjective descriptors in ways that are contradictory to each other. What one person thinks is "cozy", another person thinks it "claustrophobic", for instance. Unless you know the mindset of the person using those sorts of words, it's hard to know how to interpret them.

> I'm trying to wrap my head around this 14-week quarter business.

If there were exactly 52 weeks in a solar year, you could do 13 week quarters. There are 52 weeks and 1 day. So every few years you need a leap week to catch back up with the solar year. The reason to do this as 1 week every seven years and not one leap day is that you have weekly seasonality and keeping a round number of weeks makes quarters more comparable.

But note that this quarter was 13 weeks, it was last year's that was 14, which is probably why the financials dont mention it?
I was actually thinking of writing a piece about the legibility of typefaces in the context of UI. It would have gone far beyond for this post though. In the meantime, go to the website of Monotype and write the word “Iliad”, once in Neue Haas Unica (similar to the Apple font) and once in FF Unit. Notice how you can tell apart the capital “I” from the lowercase “l” and “i” much better. It’s things like this that make typefaces like FF Unit much better for UIs and also signage (in hospitals for example).
This sounds familiar. I'm pretty sure this problem was brought up on HN years ago, and basically Google said the same thing at the time.

And yeah, I think it's ridiculous.

My tip is that the very central part of your field of view has worse night vision than the rest (trading off for higher resolution instead), so if you spot something moving in your peripheral vision, don’t try to look straight at it or it’ll disappear; instead, look slightly to the side, and it’ll be easier to see (although maybe blurrier).

Or you could send them a link to the docs.

word2vec is a very cool result, but suggestive at best for how a modern LLM works. in fact the king + country - queen + capital vector Mary you’re referring to is pretty much a direct consequence of excluding nonlinear ties from the SGD-driven matrix factorization process.

You use so many personal accounts for work that it's unfathomable for me. If some hacker manages to hack into your account and find so much valuable information about your work, your work is going to be mightily pissed about it. Imagine you are working on an upcoming product launch and the attacker used your personal account to leak the launch. Or imagine they just decided to leak your company's internal source code. Or imagine they simply use the technical information in your personal attacks to steal user data (even Cloudflare says they worry about this: "Our aim was to prevent the attacker from using the technical information about the operations of our network as a way to get back in").

You are making your work take on an extraordinary risk in hiring you.

That's true. I remember when I switched from the iPhone 6s to the iPhone 13 and tried taking a selfie in low light. I was so dissatisfied because the image became brighter than it appeared on the camera preview during shooting. Good shots with minimal phone editing now only happen in good lighting. But if a photo is taken in low light, the face gets heavily smoothed to remove noise in the photo, but in my opinion, it only makes everything look worse.
Git visualization isn’t git’s job, providing primitives like blame for git visualizers is. If you use VSCode with gitlens (pycharm is similar), the exercise you just mentioned is trivial. Focus a line, get the correct blame. Click on that, view the commit history. Click from there, see the diff.
