I'm Justin. I have 5 years of industry experience. BSc. in mathematics and MSc. in computer science.

I was most recently researching and building arbitrage strategies between stablecoins and FX. This was all done using Python and Pandas.

Previous to that I worked for a well known market maker as a quant developer on the automated market making of cryptocurrency options on various large exchanges, using Rust.

Other experience includes working on the backend of a bank, building a custom high-performance data analytics tool and working in smart energy (optimising home energy usage).

I'm aiming to remain in the cryptocurrency/finance world working as a quant developer, however I am genuinely open to working in any interesting field. I have a proven record of picking up new languages and technologies quickly.

wow, the Google Assistant spirit continues!
Glad to hear that. In the Timeplus Cloud UI, there is a way to visualize the query plan/DAG. Sorry it's not available in command line yet.
Sounds like a reason why people would not use buttons as more often than not people actively have something against UI automation for mostly no good reason.
I've tested bard/gemini extensively on tasks that I routinely get very helpful results from GPT-4 with, and bard consistently, even dramatically underperforms.

It pains me to say this but it appears that bard/gemini is extraordinarily overhyped. Oddly it has seemed to get even worse at straightforward coding tasks that GPT-4 manages to grok and complete effortlessly.

The other day I asked bard to do some of these things and it responded with a long checklist of additional spec/reqiurement information it needed from me, when I had already concisely and clearly expressed the problem and addressed most of the items in my initial request.

It was hard to say if it was behaving more like a clerk in a bureaucratic system or an employee that was on strike.

At first I thought the underperformance of bard/gemini was due to Google trying to shoehorn search data into the workflow in some kind of effort to keep search relevant (much like the crippling MS did to GPT-4 in it's bingified version) but now I have doubts that Google is capable of competing with OpenAI.

The phrase "To be is to be a value of a Variable" was inspired by Quine (1948), not Boolos (1984) in his seminal "On What There Is": https://www.uvm.edu/~lderosse/courses/metaph/OnWhatThereIs.p...

The paper is still worth reading today.
I was at a big company where this happened. I also knew of a person behind the scenes with admin access making sure softball questions were voted to the top.

Then they dropped voting when the questions got too real.

Then they lit up the staff by saying, “If you don’t like being here, then leave!”

Then they stopped taking questions and went back to fireside chat monologs that offered no real information.

One of the many Dilbertian experiences in my career.

I once accused a VP of creating an environment of “opaque transparency” in a large staff meeting… nobody laughed, though I got lots of private kudos after the meeting.

Much of the corporate world is smoke and mirrors. That’s the nature of the game unfortunately.
I realized the error after submitting (added ten years to my age/subtracted ten years from my birth year), but I didn't think anyone would be confused by it so didn't bother correcting it
Unrelated, but c'mon Filo, the 32 bit syscall table is still 'coming soon' :')
Yeah I figured there might be a rub somewhere otherwise it would already be a thing, but since it's technically an ARM it sounded vaguely promising. What about a 32 bit build? I think those used to be able to work with without virtual addresses.
- 10x the parts budget. The Quest3 is good but the assumption is the AVP can be luxurious.

- It can leverage the Apple app store. While android headsets can sideload and run Android apps fine, none have the support of the Play Store.

- No controllers is a bold choice. Didn't work out for the hololens but should be better tech this time around.
No image generation available. Textual replies feel unnatural, and there are just too many censorship words.
Yeah, if someone is leaning on an LLM, conceptually you are interviewing the LLM and not the candidate. I think the only signal you can get in such a case is how effective the candidate can use an LLM, and maybe something about the candidate's skills if they are able to catch mistakes the LLM makes. But I don't think that's enough signal to ensure someone would not be a bad hire.
So paths marked as "linguist-generated" in .gitattributes, Github has had this forever, just noticed it enabled in looking at a GitLab merge-request.
If the CPUC is going to establish statewide policy on the claim that solar is taking from the poor and giving to the rich... incentivizing non-tax-paying churches is a really bad idea.

Granted, the CPUC's position is untenable. I think any entity should be incentivized to invest in distributed energy generation. But let's not kid ourselves that churches need special carveouts versus residential in the current climate of CA politics.
Some kind of more button like UI element will inevitably come back. Wait for 5 or 10 years and new designers will look at flat UIs as something that their parents and old people used. They'll want something different as a statement of being new and hot, them and the products they'll be working on. It happens in fashion with colors, shapes and even with full clothes. It's going to happen with UIs too.
At this point, whether I’m speaking to my ISP or Amazon, I tend to demand a supervisor immediately, and in many cases, a supervisor’s supervisor. I refuse to speak to someone whose entire job is to _prevent_ me from receiving effective support.
I vividly remember seeing this ad as a kid. What a great gimmick.
I have never heard about Lunacy, looks promising from their website! How does it compare to XD and can you import XD designs? I will have to try it now XD is abandoned, thanks!
You could use the pdfium library as an alternative to Ghostscript.
I've been seeing this model popup a lot in the lead gen space. Practitioners pay a fee to be part of a network with the promise of getting a steady stream of clients. Lifestance took it to a new level with practitioners being employees and then not delivering on the promise.
And why is there now only one species of the genus homo?

Here's a great video that goes into the overlap between species and possible reasons for the others' demise.

1) lmsys is not affiliated with huggingface

2) this fails basic sniff test of how research is done. google overmarkets but it doesn't lie.

to answer GP's question - the #2 rated bard is an "online" llm, presumably people are rating more recent knowledge more favorably. its sad that pplx-api as the only other "online llm" does not do better, but people are recognizing it is unfair to compare "online LLMs" with not-online https://twitter.com/lmsysorg/status/1752126690476863684
oof, given how much security depends on okta, and how terribly difficult that kind of job is, does not bode well for their suitability. All it'll take is a single breach.
Yes: from TFA, SD XL released some months ago uses a new VAE.

n.b. clarifying because most of the top comments currently are recommending this person is hired / inquiring if anyones begun work to leverage their insights: they're discussing known issues in a 2 year old model as if it was newly discovered issues in a recent model. (TFA points this out as well)
Huh...may need to check.
Ask HN: Books on Brand Turnarounds
I’m looking for a book or books that go into detail re a brand turnaround. The details, the issues around the brand, how it was done, caveats and outcomes etc. For example Burberry was turned around in the early 2000s after being associated with a rough crowd. Doesn’t have to be a fashion or luxury brand. Thanks.
ReciPal (https://www.recipal.com) | Founding Rails/Full Stack Software Engineer | REMOTE | Full-Time

We are hiring a full-time engineer who can hopefully be a technical stakeholder and business partner.

ReciPal is a profitable, growing, bootstrapped, and (have always been a) fully remote company (based in New York) with just about 4 full-time employees. We make simple software for food businesses - nutrition analysis and labeling, costing, and inventory management.

You'd be working directly with me, solo founder, and our senior engineer and hopefully take on a growing role over time to potentially lead engineering and become a business partner. It's a very low key work environment, but independent and plenty of responsibility and ownership for the right person.

Stack includes Rails 7, JavaScript, Postgres, Heroku.

I think there's a faction of vim/emacs users who use it because that's all that was available when they started out. vi and emacs are ancient- nearly 50 years old. PCs introuced IDEs (think Turbo Pascal) in the 80s, but there really wasn't anything like this in the Unix or VMS world. So if you started programming for non-PC, non-8-bit machines, you would certainly have encounteded vim or emacs early in your career. I'm one of these people.

There's another faction, of users who have come to vim/emacs in the era of decent IDEs. I think a lot of these people have come in due to the keyboard focus of these vs. IDEs, or because they are very quick and responsive (though recent IDEs themselves are finally really fast, too), or due to aesthetics or because it's percieved as being "hardcore" or "cool".

IMO if you're productive with what you're using now, stick with it. But try other things and see if they click. This goes both for the Unix graybeards and the IDE kids.
Take 3x what they could take.

Show HN: The Missing Open Source Package Manager for Kubernetes Beyond Helm
Hi, we are a small team from Vienna and today released our first version of a Package Manager similar to apt, Homebrew, or Chocolatey, but specifically tailored for Kubernetes environments and cloud-native software. Originally, we wanted to contribute to the Kubernetes ecosystem with a different idea; however, after talking to the community, we uncovered that package management is an even bigger problem at the moment.

We are now looking for as much feedback as possible, so we would really appreciate it if you could check it out and let us know what you think! Thanks!
I never looked into the release history, but I ran a server with 4.10 for 8 or 9 years and never felt the need to upgrade it.

The implied assumption here is that if you can figure out the number of anagrams that can be made from a given string in just 30 minutes, you probably are smart enough to set up a web server in a couple of days with documentation and ChatGPT to guide you.

While the above sounds sarcastic, honestly, it isn't as ridiculous of a thought as it sounds. I don't think being good at DS&A problems guarantees that you're a good coder, but in general, the people who get good at these problems are also great coders. I can think of less than a handful of people who are good at CS problems but bad at actual coding.
Your response has an AI pap flavor.

Quadratic – Figma-for-Spreadsheets – Is Multiplayer
A bubble implies there's little or no actual value inside. I disagree completely.

As a senior software engineer that has fully integrated GPT-4 into my dev process, I can assure you there is definitely value here. I would say these LLMs (or where we go from here) are going to be at least as transformative as the smartphone.
Hi, I am David Kircos. The Founder of Quadratic (https://QuadraticHQ.com), an open-source spreadsheet application for engineers that supports Python, SQL (coming soon), and classic Formulas.
Unlike other spreadsheets, Quadratic has an infinite canvas (like Figma). As a result, you can pinch and zoom to navigate large data sets, and everything renders smoothly at 60fps.

Today, we launched real-time Multiplayer on Product Hunt!

Quadratic is built using WebGL and Rust WASM. We built our multiplayer service from scratch in Rust to handle large amounts of data smoothly. For smooth rendering of a large grid of data, cells and text are rendered using low-level WebGL for performance. If you are interested in the technical details, check us out on GitHub (https://github.com/quadratichq/quadratic/)

What do you think? Can we make a spreadsheet that developers actually enjoy using?
I hate flat design so much and I can't believe even Gnome Shell switched to it only last year. With the added "benefit" of making it extra hard to change the theme.

A Literary and Philosophical Guide to Negotiating a Raise
Huge picture with huge words "Try it today at bard.google.com" which does... nothing when you click on it, otherwise tiny light text with only a single bard.google.com url at the end. Have they not tried to ask advice from Gemini Pro on how to blog?

P.S.
Another funny thing re. "globally"

> Unfortunately, your request is based on outdated information. As of today, February 1, 2024, Bard only offers access to Gemini Pro in over 170 countries and territories, not globally. While that's a vast reach, there are still some regions where it's unavailable.
Someone should make a censorship/alignment (whatever you want to call it) benchmark for LLMs.
Exploring UAP Through Instrumented Field Studies: Insights, Challenges, Future
There was a time when I agreed with this idea 100%, and I do think there are still many antipatterns of interface and interaction design that come up quite commonly (tight spacing, undersized click targets, etc)… But I’ve come to think of these posts as harmful oversimplification.

The example of the touch feedback cuts both ways: those buttons exist in context, and one can certainly provide touch feedback without a border/shadows. Text-only buttons also exist in context and the language can do a lot to explain what happens.

A counter example is a physical button on manufacturing equipment. It’s huge, tactile, and labeled. I know I could press it, but that doesn’t necessarily help me understand what happens when I click it.

Everything on a screen /could/ be clicked or tapped, it’s inherent to the medium, making something “look clickable” doesn’t necessarily help clarify if/when I should click it, or what the result will be
i ve always had the opposite experience. Bard has not denied to help me writing a patent or writing a paper. ChatGPT denied both
Show HN: A Community for Indie Tech Blogs
Hey HN! For a while I’ve been trying (unsuccessfully) to find a community for tech bloggers to get together and share what they’re working on, so here’s my attempt at making my own. It’s a completely free website and designed to be super straightforward to use.

Functionality wise it’s pretty minimalist right now, with just the ability to register accounts, post drafts, and comment on other user’s posts. Support for more features like tagging post topics, user profiles and more are coming soon!

Thanks for checking it out, and I’d love to hear any thoughts from the community.

P.S. if you don’t write much yourself but still want to participate, feel free to join! You can give other people feedback without having to post anything of your own.
There are some great options hidden there! There's a zoom (I use 3 finger double tap to trigger) and you can have it read the text on a page for you.

It's a robotic voice, but it's pretty great if you want someone to narrate eg daring fireball length posts to you (and you can speed it up to 1.5x+ speed)
No one disagrees. Consider project management; for example, which has had many failed projects, has evolved, is still incredibly imperfect. Health care services, have had many flaws, continue to evolve, are still incredibly imperfect. Marketing, has had many flaws, has advanced, is imperfect. Pick one or two problems and advance them. Try not to kill people in the process which is all too common in tech.
