Nooks (https://nooks.ai) | Software Engineers (full-stack & backend/applied ML) | Full-time | Onsite in SF (hybrid)

Hi, I’m one of the founders of Nooks — we’re trying to re-invent how sales teams work with real-time collaboration and AI.

Nooks is: - A virtual office: you can work from anywhere in the world, but still work with your team and get feedback and coaching like you’re sitting side-by-side. - and an AI co-pilot. We learn how your team works, identify “winning” strategies behaviors, then share them with the whole team during and after calls!

We’re working on fun engineering challenges including complex distributed systems, low-latency algorithms & infrastructure, and modeling sales calls with large language models. You'll also have the chance to make a huge impact on our customers (sales reps who spend 80% of their work day on Nooks.)

Right now we’re a relatively small team (~40 ppl) growing super quickly - doubling revenue every quarter, and recently hit $3.5M ARR!

Looking for experienced engineers who love tackling difficult product questions and working closely with customers. Excitement about language models, few-shot learning and other recent AI advances is also a plus :)

I’d love to chat: reach me at nikhil [at] nooks.in or apply at the link below: https://nooks.breezy.hr/p/bbc06c1a1bb4-software-engineer
Show HN: I've build a shopping list app that's dyslectic proof – No account
I'm one of the many persons with dyslexia. This doesn't help me with filling in shopping lists. So I build an app, Bleep List, that lets you scan your products/items to add to your shopping list.

How it works?
With the app you scan the barcode of a product. The barcode is checked locally if it's already connected to an item on the selected shopping list. If not, the barcode is send to OpenFoodFacts.org API to retrieve information about the product like the name. Now you can simply fill in the amount and hit save.

It's also possible to add multiple items/barcodes to one item on the list. This is especially handy when you don't buy the same brand every time.

Sadly for now not all food products are in the API. You can of course add everything by hand in the app. Or support the OpenFoodFacts project by adding the product there.

Updating the list can also be easily done by scanning barcodes. To help you the app can also prevent the screen from turning off when the app is openend on the screen.

The app supports multiple lists and sharing lists with other users. Sharing the list can simply be done by hitting the share button on the list edit screen.

For the app is no account needed. The app makes use of iCloud and iCloud sharing. Meaning the data is stored in a private iCloud container.

Bleep List is available for free in the App Store. Some features like sharing lists are part of Bleep List Premium.
I will give up here, its political in that it involves a political entity. Its depressing that the original comment jumped to "republicans are bad" logic so quickly. I understand your bias, its immediately noticeable in all of those republican subreddits as well.
These might be two sides of the same coin - usually the reason there is a huge manpower requirement is because of the libraries and supporting tools.

Most developers want to use the newest and greatest, but are held back.
Them and everyone else.
I think a case can be made that covenants like this should be disallowed.

Sure, allow contracts to be signed, where if a condition is violated then a penalty can be paid. But here? There's no one to buy off to relax the constraint. It's held in perpetuity by the dead hand of the past.

To put it another way: there's a property right here (in that setback) that is just sort of floating in the air, not owned by anyone alive. That makes it untaxable, when all sorts of other property is taxable. It should be possible for the city government to condemn that "property" and then change the covenant. They wouldn't even have to pay anyone, since there's no owner.

There's zero chance I personally would have been capable of building that same software in Awk, even if I knew of it, and even if I knew how to get it onto that non-networked computer that didn't have any removable media in common with what I had at home.
It's inspired by Apple's launchd.

Why not use excel/google sheets?

I say this with love but, you've never worked in construction have you.

Architects drawings are little more than nicely descriptive hopes and sketches of an intended idea, which a good contractor has to turn into an actual plan of work.

Canada and the Great Lakes states have a virtually unlimited supply of fresh water.
They also have massive societal pressure to conform and a ton of 24 hour businesses like internet cafes. It is likely that the definition of homeless being reported here doesn’t capture people who don’t have a stable address but would never come forward to be counted.
CIA is predominantly human intelligence, big-picture targeting, and analysis.

But, starting with GWOT, the DIA picked up its own human intelligence. They want it their way, and don't want to play with gatekeepers. The DOD also owns SIGINT via the NSA, which is a military organization headed by an Admiral/General, and they want to be able to pair their existing strengths with HUMINT.

Several NATO countries, esp. the Baltics / Central Europe have been expanding military HUMINT in the same way, esp. in anticipation of Russian infiltration and SF work that was seen in the early days of Ukraine round 2.

In other words, everyone else is doing it, even if it's fragile, expensive, and wasteful.
Suffered from a few very large non-starts in attempting to port it all to browser-agnostic JS and other frameworks by offshored teams. Couldn't capture the same UX and layouts; too much proprietary business logic in the background that less and less people have knowledge of. Unconvincing demos, bad sales, sunk cost. Good guess.

Hello!
Love the Internet Archive (use it daily - thank you public web infrastructure!) and this would be a genuine dream job.

Can build web crawlers in my sleep. Last job was a founding engineer that led to a Director of Data position.
Can't say I share that conviction? This is absolutely perfect for stuff like "I came up with something, let me score it and share it" without having to reach for notion/musescore/etc or lilypad.
All valuation is based on speculation. “The numbers” are always subject to change.
Headsup: Seems like this one has a "take home assignment that shouldn't take more than a day" as part of its interview process.
Took me a while (and to read your reply) to understand what you were saying.

Don't get hung up on the name. The intention a long time ago was to make it a wiki, but it never happened and the name stuck.

I'm not sure what you mean, bodyweight only exercise selection looks fine to me?
Want to give me a concrete example, maybe we have something bugged.
We have a bunch more exercise coming to add a little more depth, but our data shows that bodyweight is generally where novice/beginner lifters want to start, so we give them the option. Also things like pull-ups, chin-ups, dips are in no way "beginner" and so if a user selects "all equipment" which is what most people do, they'll get these very important exercises if they are applicable.

its okay if you don't agree, but we have an expert on staff who curated these exercises. I trust him more than some guy on the internet. So if they are wrong, its likely a bug.

ack on bodyweight depth - working on it.

> If you trained on specific generated data with real distributions

It was trained on generated data from real distributions! The datasets LLMs are trained on include gigabytes of real data from real distributions, in addition to all of the code/stats/etc samples.

The question you should be asking is 'why did it stop being able to predict real distributions?' And we already know the answer: RLHF. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40227082
Give me a sentence where it necessarily eliminates ambiguity and I will thoughtlessly replace it with something more colloquial and similarly unambiguous.
It's possible you'll find an example I can't trivially fix, but I think they're rare enough to be more or less irrelevant.

No. Mental health in Japan is not broadly talked about. Anyone experiencing a mental health crisis is probably being cared for privately.
Japan's population decline does seem to suggest that they are going to have ridiculously affordable housing for the foreseeable future. But most likely a general thermodynamics of disrepair over the buildings to come as well.

Tying a tax to distance travelled requires accurate reporting of distance travelled. How is that not a perverse incentive?
it's a fun project, but the actual output makes me think of my favourite quote about AI writing - "if no one could be bothered to write it, I certainly can't be bothered to read it"
I always prefer the bottle filling stations over drinking fountains, for the 20% of the time that I actually have a bottle with me.

In gyms/libraries/airports it always feels like refilling stations get 5x more use than drinking fountains, but when you're anywhere else, what are the odds you're carrying a bottle?
If you look at it in terms of AI, I think it makes more sense.

Google the information enabler was a clear benefit to mankind. Pretty easy to be aspirational there. Happy fun liberal improve the world thinking. Expand participation and information awareness.

Google the surveillance tool and AI merchant for governments and corporations for leveraging total surveillance? .... Yeah. But that's where the bucks are.

Google has clearly moved very far into full enshittimonification of its information. It needs compliant obedient workers to shut up and make it money. Alphabet the big ideas has pretty much totally failed, the only thing succeeding is surveillance: Android and Search. Google doesn't need free, liberal, smart thinkers. It needs order takers.
No, the activations are a combination of the basis function and the spline function. It's a little unclear to me still how the grid works, but it seems like this shouldn't suffer anymore than a generic relu MLP.
What are you talking about? Tesla has been SLOW to ship innovative products after they grew. Musk focused on SCALE not new product development. That's why a 2015 Tesla, now 8 years old practically looks the same as one today. Even the cyber-truck was slow to deliver (other manufactures got to EV trucks first).

Tesla is the perfect example of going corporate.
Nobody advocates for a Palestinian ethnostate, it's a concession that was made to resolve the issues after the Jewish refusal of a bi-national solution that would have Jews as the minority.

Many areas that mainly use rain/snow water via ground water aquifers haven't had many if any water conservatory issues.

Usually the problem around here is sewage capacity - but perhaps it's a population density thing, and as long as you're below a certain density and it rains enough, nothing really is needed.

> I illegally search and seize everyone I lay my eyes on

This is where you need to keep in mind that there's a spectrum and a balance. Ultimately it's up to the Supreme Court to decide where the cut-off points are. To take your example and riff on it a bit:

- There's you walking to work and mentally taking note of everyone you walk past

- There's you walking to work with a video camera and casually recording everyone you walk past

- There's you walking to work with a video camera and getting into people's personal space to make sure your video accurate captures enough of their facial features to make a positive biometric identification

- There's you walking to work, seeing someone in particular, and following them to their destination while recording the entire time

- There's you putting up a high-resolution camera in front of your house to record everyone walking past, whether or not you're watching it at the time

- There's you putting up time-synchronized high-resolution cameras on every light post in your neighbourhood

- There's taking your network of time-synchronized high-resolution cameras and adding facial/person recognition to it so that you automatically get a timestamped path of where everyone walked at what time

- There's expanding your network of time-synchronized high-resolution cameras with person recognition to cover your entire city and selling access to person-location data

Figuring out where the acceptable/unacceptable cutoff line is for private citizens, corporations, and governments is going to be an interesting question that'll have to be answered in the near future.

Isn't 1gb per user absurdly large?
Windows 11 is awful. It ruined the calendar view on the taskbar, which is a huge pet peeve for me.
"Can be made to work", absolutely. "Works fine", gonna have to disagree. The hoops one needs to jump through for every single new project that uses Makefiles in some new and creative "works flawlessly on unixy systems, why aren't you on one of those?" are appreciably larger than zero.

Anyone know why the rule against perpetuities wouldn’t apply? Also, is there anyone who could meaningfully enforce this covenant? I appreciate that you wouldn’t necessarily want to risk it anyway, but just to ensure I understand the issue here.
Agree.

Its even worse in some places. I see schools, colleges, libraries are getting installed on public land. I mean where are we gonna end up with this.
It's a great idea for a service, but they really should have had it on a range of Smart TV platforms from the start
So, more mature than Musk?
It depends on the purpose of the analysis. To have any place in serious decision making, the methodology itself needs to be justified. One cannot simply assume that filtering social media posts by upvotes translates to real differences in the software development lifecycle. To give an anecdotal example of challenges with the given approach, most professional developers I've met do not meaningfully track time spent on tasks. So one of the questions that could be raised is: do developers on social media even have the data or experience to make these evaluations?
They do, via the temperature sampling.
We've started working on addressing this, fwiw:
