Aha! (https://www.aha.io) | Rails / React / Devops | REMOTE

Aha! is the #1 tool for product managers to plan strategy and roadmaps. We serve more than a million users worldwide. We are looking for:

* Javascript and geometry expert? Help us build our HTML canvas based whiteboard & mockup tool.

* Experienced full-stack, front end and platform engineers to work on the Aha! product. Our application is built in Ruby on Rails, with React on the frontend for rich client-side experiences.

* Devops engineers with Ruby experience. We focus on the "dev" and all of our operations driven by code.

Aha! is profitable, you can work from anywhere in North or South America, and we offer excellent benefits. We use our own product to manage our work (which is especially rewarding) and we deploy continuously.

Our entire team has always been 100% remote - in North American timezones so we can collaborate during the work day.
Except we didn't know any of that, nor did know how to construct physical analogs in order to achieve universal computation. At best, we had limited task-specific computation, like clocks and planetary motion.

Risk Assessment of Pollutants in Biosolids
Hi All, I'm thrilled to share that we just launched the official Claude iOS app, which I had the chance to build as the iOS engineer on the project over the last several months. We wanted to make an fast and fun mobile-first experience for Claude. We'd love to hear what you think.
Thanks! Nightime, 70mph highway, stopped car with its lights off. It has:

The witness changed lanes to the right to avoid striking the vehicle and later, in her rearview mirror, saw another vehicle strike the stopped Honda.

If that interval was very short, then I could imagine the witness car blocking the Ford's view of the Honda until there wasn't much time to react?
Look up "rent-seeking".
> 0: p=0.40 1: p=0.60 which suggests that 1 is the next bit and leads to a suboptimal starting point for predicting the bit after that. The error is even more prominent with longer sequences as the joint probability distribution becomes more unfactorizable into marginal distributions (as I would expect any minimal algorithmic description of real-world data to be).

Can someone explain this part a bit more? I'm not seeing the issue. From what I see, if the first token (t1) output is a zero, then the next token (t2) would have probabilities 0:p=.90 and 1:p=.10. (And t2 0/1:p= .50/.50 if t1=1)

Mathematically, those line up with the initial distribution, so what's the concern? That's how conditional probability works.
Then why did you ask for it?! You’re debating something you hold as an article of faith.

I did consider it, but you'd also have to modify the copy of the fstab in the initramfs in addition to the one in the root. Admittedly I didn't try very hard to make that happen, I just wanted something working for the bit. :P
I agree with the first point but not the second. Transponders enable TCAS and TCAS has saved many lives.

bellsong.net | Chief of Staff - First Employee | Remote - east coast hours | $60-$80k | 45 days vacation/year

Bellsong is an early stage business exploring opportunities related to therapy. This is an opportunity to join early, work alongside an experienced founder (that’s me!) and grow with the organization.

We’re motivated by a few key questions:

* Is there an alternative to the high-growth startup model that centers customers and employees rather than outside stakeholders?

* Therapy changes lives. How do we honor and promote this practice?

* Therapists are superheroes. How can we support and uplift them?

We’re looking for a generalist. Your work will span three major areas:

* Operations: you’ll keep projects organized and on-track. In a chaotic startup, you’ll be a force for order.

* Writing: from emails and blog posts, to therapist profiles—you will use language to tell stories and convince others.

* Grit: this is a role where you’ll take out the proverbial trash. You will own all of the sometimes tedious administrative work.

It's probably experience bias but the maintenance phase orgs I have worked for were more like warehouses that kept systems on shelves and let them rot until all the customers bled away. These were mostly growth by acquisition PE companies. It was like working at a fruit stand selling only rotten fruit. We were never given time, budget, or resources for even basic modernization. Everything was firefighting. One team after acquisition, lost their devops team, and let their pipelines degrade over 5 years to the point they couldn't deploy anymore. I've seen on-prem solutions deployed 20 times to a VM across 50 VM's and called cloud. It took a weekend for the team to deploy (10-15 people because support had to manually test every env because it was so fragile). They also tend to attract and retain talent that is done learning and growing. I had an Ops Engineer at one of these orgs tell me in 2023 that no one told them they had to learn Docker. They know what they know, and they push back on anything new which in turn drives away engineers that do want change. Everyone knows it's broken but no one will commit any resources to fixing it. The business doesn't care as long as they are retaining.

It's minefield and even when they talk about how committed they are to change during the interview you walk into fortified silos and no support or budget to break the deadlock.

The problem with typical PaaS is significantly less reliability, higher costs, and limited flexibility than AWS for example.

But of course AWS is a nightmare on it's own.

So you might like Flightcontrol [1] which provides a PaaS user experience on your own AWS, thereby giving you the best of both worlds.

You mean the stat that is...

* Frequently inflated with claims that there's a whole bunch of them suddenly unreported?

* Likely blown out to some extent by statistical outliers? https://counciloncj.org/is-shoplifting-up-or-down/

* Overstated by companies to justify store closings? https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/06/business/walgreens-shopli...

It's exceedingly difficult to determine the actual rate of shoplifting on a national scale.

The claim was "major cities have simply stopped reporting crime at all" which is just... laughable. As is the "everything's reported as white" follow-up.
There is such a thing as an overcrowded market, but LEO data connectivity is definitely not it yet.

- Nobody other than Starlink is offering anything at all to end customers; all alternatives are in GEO, which means much higher latencies.

- There's no alternative to Iridium when it comes to reliable, 100% global coverage in the L-band (except if you're the military, presumably). Planes and ships are still carrying HF radios for redundancy in high latitudes.

- Nobody, neither GEO nor LEO, other than Starlink, currently offers high-throughput connectivity for in-flight connectivity. (Inmarsat is planning to launch HEO satellites for the northern hemisphere, which will possibly extend their existing aviation coverage there.)

- OneWeb does compete for high-throughput services in LEO in the Ku-band (requiring steered antennas just like Starlink), but doesn't seem to be offering inter-satellite links yet, i.e. no global coverage alternative for airlines either.
A clear management failure then.
But according to this GPT4 is substantially worse.
The states are a terrible choice for managing the environment. Pollution trivially crosses state borders, but often the impact is very local. IE the smell from a paper mill or sewage treatment plant doesn't spread across 1,000 miles.

So local control makes sense for local issues, and federal control makes sense for widespread issues like runoff.
Did it run the program? Seems it just needs to take that final step.

Yes, you can still host cool things with minimal hardware.

a Raspberry Pi serves my websites from the shelf over my desk. It does nothing challenging, but its specs are multiples of those of the systems Musk was talking about.

That doesn't mean you can throw down a full fat "modern software stack" on the Pi and expect success any more than you would if you did that to a Sparc10. Elon was bragging about writing C code to do things that modern developers would implement only with layers of abstractions. Databases, cache servers, load balancers, layers of complexity and indirection that are of debatable utility when the focus is on "push bits out fast"... and for the most part hadn't been invented yet then, anyway.
> The right metric for international comparisons is purchasing power parity (PPP)-adjusted output

MER is the right metric for most uses. But for comparing growth no currency conversion is needed, obviously.

In every period to 2023 from 1995 (1995-2023, 1996-2023, 1997-2023 etc) US GDP growth has exceeded EU GDP growth.

US output is 59% higher than in the year 2000. EU output is 36% higher. (Constant local currency data from the respective governments.)

Looking for: Full-time Software Engineer roles.

Hello,

I am a full stack engineer with experience in a range of technologies, including JavaScript/TypeScript, PostgreSQL, and React. Before software development, I worked within academia as a research analyst, examining interesting questions in the public health/healthcare spectrum - I primarily analyzed healthcare data and did a lot of data analysis.

I recently built Willow with a team of four engineers. It is an open-source, self-hosted framework for building Change Data Capture data pipelines, which updates Redis caches in near real-time based on changes in a PostgreSQL database. You can read more about Willow here: https://willow-cdc.github.io/

If any of this sounds interesting, please don’t hesitate to reach out!

There are a crazy number of charging companies out there. They literally just install a charger at any parking spot anywhere and connect electricity. It’s the simplest thing in the world, there is no ploy to be a monopoly in the space. The issue is there is not enough EVs on the road. Think cell towers in the middle of no where, sure you wish they were there but they just are not useful or profitable to many people.
