Stealth | Founding Full-Stack or Back-End AI Engineer | REMOTE or SF | Full-Time

Hey all - we're a stealth startup founded by a serial entrepreneur with a successful exit & raised a seed round from top Silicon Valley VCs. We're on a mission to fix healthcare staffing shortages with AI.

We're looking for a superbuilder who's comfortable getting things done across the whole tech stack, with an emphasis on backend. Knowledge of Python, production environments and containers is a must, Node/NestJS is desired. Practical experience with developing AI native apps leveraging ChatGPT, Claude or other LLMs is preferred.

As a founding engineer, you'd be getting 1-2% equity.

We use Python, NestJS, React, NextJS, Typescript, Kubernetes, Airflow and advanced machine learning systems in our stack.

I think the arrow of causality is perhaps the other way. Recall the "moral majority", Jerry Fallwell, etc. It was a big right-leaning effort to ban porn starting in perhaps the 70s. Probably earlier. The republican party used to have religion as the main ideological component, and immoral porn was a plank in that platform - the party of "family values."

That campaign to ban porn never really ended AFAIK, but my impression is the priorities of the party really shifted about 10 years ago to the point it's no longer an open policy (the word pornography no longer appears anywhere in the Republican party platform [1])

Remnants of the anti-porn part of the party can certainlystill be seen in the republican party, eg: Mike Johnson extolling his use of "covenant eyes"

Thus the arrow is flipped. The anti-porn cause was very active against printed pornograpghy and continued into the internet age. A right-wing/conservative movement and efforts both predating the internet.

> So maybe half a point for “France” if that’s what went through your head.

I was thinking France, but I assumed the answer was non-obvious, so I guessed St. Pierre and Miquelon.

But you'd have to start somewhere just south of Tacoma and just miss the tip of Nova Scotia on your way to the northern tip of Miquelon.
I read that comment as "the wider, the sweeter" (which I agree with), but that we're now (as you say) at the end of the road, and thus the sweetest point.

But an increase in cacheline size would be nice if it can get us larger vectors, or otherwise significantly improve memory bandwidth.

Trump didn't want to wear masks because it smudged his bronzer:

It was never about science, it was about convenience.
It was in the nineties, shortly after the fall of the Soviet Union, and there was a fair amount of lawlessness. Many shops had their own security, often from criminal organizations. The shop I wrote accounting software for had such goons on the payroll.
If you are you should already have a generator. Rolling blackouts are normal service there[1]. Their grid is something like 8x oversubscribed.

Is there a reason you feel that that file will be respected?
I'd also prefer to see these standards go away. I haven't seen any proof they are providing meaningful security at any company I've been at and several of them have had massive hacks despite being SOC2 on paper. They also eat up InfoSec time instead of being productive on meaningful stuff like "Hey, are patching everything?"

Most of these compliance just seem like barber licenses. A way for existing entities entrench themselves.
And an important clarification: even if a virus particle is too small to make it through the mask - it is always riding some sort of host to transmit - water partical or something that help it transmit through the air.

Everything was moot though if you ripped off the mask and wiped your hands all over your face when you were done.
I think English spelling is a pain but overall I think 中文 is worse. There are an awful lot of characters to know for one thing. My understanding is that you have to work pretty hard to be literate in 中文. Also I understand that the horizon where 中文 gets hard to read is closer in time than it is English, that is even 150 year old texts are difficult to read and reading Confucius is harder than reading Chaucer. Contrast the problem of memorizing irregular spellings to the problem of remembering how to draw thousands of characters.

I must admit that I really like Interlingua

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interlingua

which is kind of a cleaned-up Latin. As a native English speaker who knows a lot of Latin roots from science and literature and who also has gotten good doses of Spanish and French, I can read the sample texts in that Wikipedia page right off that bat.

It is a strange thing though that you can go through the first few chapters of a book on 中文 grammar and get the feeling there is something refreshingly regular about that language, almost as if it was an artificial language. When you get towards the end you find there are many things that will strain this sense of quick familiarity and I am told if you actually try to use the language it's harder than you think.
You find it weird that different religions have different views on the morality or lack thereof? Christianity has a significant amount of stuff layered on top that differentiates it from pre-New Testament. Also plenty of Jewish people identify as atheists, so I'm not sure why their Jewishness would be meaningful to Christians when evaluating the morality of it.
Now the name change makes perfect sense.
>How can corporations be stealing anything from an open source project?

The code is published using some license that allows some use cases and prohibits other. For example GPL is famous for being viral. Using it to teach a LLM that spits "unlicensed" code is basically laundering copyright.
The former. From TFA:

> “Data from our study suggests that a mildly symptomatic person with COVID-19 who is not wearing a mask exhales a little over two infectious doses per hour says first author Jianyu Lai, a postdoctoral researcher at the PHAB Lab. “But when wearing an N95 mask, the risk goes down exponentially.”
> That type of rapid weight gain is associated with even worse health effects than carrying the extra 100 pounds probably was

Source?

And are the people losing 100 lbs regaining 70 of it? These statistics are provided in the aggregate [1]. I wouldn't assume the re-feeding of someone who lost 20 lbs will mirror someone who lost 100 lbs.

Also, conventional methods resulted in "more than half of the lost weight was regained within two years, and by five years more than 80% of lost weight was regained" [2]. So our baseline is the 100 lb person regaining 50 lbs following diet and exercise or whatever.

Few questions come to mind:

- what’s the image resolution? Is it fixed or can it be changed in the settings?

- can you attach an actual image file? The previews are barely clear to show anything.

- any info about operating temperature? The battery might not die but the camera shuts off due to high temperatures, happens to me all the time with gopro and the likes.

- what’s the storage capacity? Not mentioned anywhere.

It seems like it'd be better to populate the robots.txt and request that all bots not scrape this site -- as-is they're still pounding away against the firewall and it'd be cleaner if they just went away. If it turns out they don't respect robots.txt, you can escalate from there.
The public health initive was a collective one that tried to incentivize widespread usage as opposed as personal protective equipment (as that good masks are).

Unfortunately the initiave was a (many)day(s) late, and $1(00000000) short. Other nations [that used a higher standard of mask] did not have nearly as bad of numbers as the US had under the mask usage policies/regulations.

Curios claim in the article:

> High wages come from high productivity,

which, I think is patently false. Wages are set by supply and demand, same as anything else. High wages incent increases in productivity, not the other way around.

Why were wages not at substance levels in Briton on the eve of the industrial revolution? What drove up the demand for workers?

That'd be really cool! And definitely helped by the fact that you'd only need to head out at a fraction of Voyagers speeds to get the benefit.

There's some details on the Voyager gravity-assist mechanics here [0], but you'd also need the escape trajectory to be pointed in the Voyager direction which would further constrain...

That said, Earth-Jupiter-Saturn alignments don't seem that rare (on a decades scale).

We've moved well beyond the traditional monopoly like Standard Oil. We moved onto conglomerates: about everything you buy comes from like ~8 conglomerates. We then recognized the user of market power for an effective monopoly (eg Paramount [1]).

So what we have now is a whole bunch of landlords who largely all use the same software. That doesn't sound illegal. Now if it happens to spit out the same results for all the users, that's one thing (and problematic all on it's own). But the allegation here is that landlords bought into and use the software knowing this would be the outcome.

This is just an evolution of the old cartel of 10 or so CEOs scheming to fix prices in a dark cigar-filled room except now companies attempt to remove their own responsibility by waving their hands at The Algorithm [tm].

Freeman Dyson did a nice job of summing up the situation with Grassmann:

"In the year 1844 two remarkable events occurred, the publication by Hamilton of his discovery of quaternions, and the publication by Grassmann of his “Ausdehnungslehre.” With the advantage of hindsight we can see that Grassmann’s was the greater contribution to mathematics, containing the germ of many of the concepts of modern algebra, and including vector analysis as a special case. However, Grassmann was an obscure high-school teacher in Stettin, while Hamilton was the world-famous mathematician whose official titles occupy six lines of print after his name at the beginning of his 1844 paper. So it is regrettable, but not surprising, that quaternions were hailed as a great discovery, while Grassmann had to wait 23 years before his work received any recognition at all from professional mathematicians. When Grassmann’s work finally became known, mathematicians were divided into quaternionists and antiquaternionists, and were spending more energy in polemical arguments for and against quaternions than in trying to understand how Grassmann and Hamilton might be fitted together into a larger scheme of things."

IIRC Discord gets around this by having a setting that needs to be enabled from another device/browser to be able to access NSFW servers on iOS. I think Pixiv (maybe Reddit too?) has something similar.

So I'm going to guess the workaround is that Apple requires NSFW content to not be accessible as a default, but does not get in the way for the content being accessible via some form of external switch. The 'external' requirement makes me think that maybe it's about shifting some sort of perceived liability? X might have to add a similar option I guess.
In so many words, Shannon gave a proof showing that in general the sample rate of a digital sensor puts an upper bound on the frequency of any signal that sensor is able to detect.

Unlike the Nyquist-Shannon theory, compressed sensing is not generally applicable: it requires a sparse signal.

As with many other optimization techniques, it’s a trade off between soundness and completeness.

Isn’t the sole goal of engineering to use science and make nature convenient for humans?
I think the important thing is - the strongest benefit of masks are always for other people. But I think certain people cannot accept a selfless reason to do something.
Obviously what a Real OS should do is not notify about low battery at all and just suddenly shut down instead. Whereas it's absolutely essential that users get notifications every day to switch browsers or subscribe to Microsoft 365.
KF94s, (western tested)KN95s, and FFP2s were much better options for the general population rather than occupationally certified N95s. Yet, the US refused to acknowledge PPE for the commoner.
Your comment assumes no one remembers me and no one reacts to my username and gender unless I point it out. This seems implausible to me.

I wish it really were that simple. I dont think it is.

Additionally, your suggestion fundamentally dismisses my main point: This is apparently a bigger issue for women than men generally.

And when men act like it's unreasonable for a woman to be aware this is a bigger issue for women and to toss that detail out there in public discussion, it's just a no win situation for women.

The people most impacted are routinely treated like they are whiners who should just shut up and accept that no one will bother to care.

And not just about gender. People of color also routinely get treated crappily for being the ones who bring up X issue when no one else will and they bring it up because they are the ones aware of it.

Oh okay, so these are two different academic projects.

/u/freedomben @freedomben for some reason I can't reply to your comment so replying here,

I did not edit any of my comments.
“Since we undertook the nationwide protest against the recent hike in electricity tariffs, no government official has called us for discussion,” the TUC president, Festus Osifo, was quoted as saying on Friday. “Even the minister of power has not thought it fit to invite us for discussion.”

Seems like if people on medical devices die from this it won't be squarely the fault of labour.

You just need a toggle to comply with the rules, so that the user decides what they’ll see. One example is Flickr. Another is Tumblr. They both have toggles for explicit content.
Agreed, its a understandable that they're choosing this path.

FOSS needs to stop having such quasi-religious positions like the ones mentioned at the start of the article, where very understandable decisions are taken as dabs against other projects.
Bots from big companies like Amazon, which is who the author is complaining about, do tend to respect it. In fact, it's listed in their documentation that the GP linked to that they will. They could be lying -- but why bother?

Hey pal, those people are willing to do anything for their country because they're not cowards like us... except wear a mask.
> Everything was moot though if you ripped off the mask and wiped your hands all over your face when you were done.

No, probably not. There's very little evidence of transmission via surface contact; you have to breathe a significant amount into the nose/lungs, and the surgical and N95 masks are additionally statically charged to keep viral particles stuck to them; this is how they block viruses much smaller than their own pores. (https://www.wired.com/story/the-physics-of-the-n95-face-mask...)
The argument against mask efficacy by members of the general population was never done in good faith.

It was about less-educated people who were in arrested development and never moved past teenager rebellion. Their rebellion was egged on by malicious state actors through social media in order to sow large-scale chaos by unmitigated viral spread.
This seems to quite deliberately miss the point of why so many find the effect libadwaita has had on the desktop experience to be so frustrating.

Really, it doesn’t matter whether the underlying motivations were supposedly to create a cleaner separation between projects at the abstract level - the consequences have been to introduce a situation where, for the first time in quite a long period, large swathes of significant, widely-used programs are no longer capable of fitting in on non-GNOME desktops.

That decision was theirs to make, and they were entirely free to do so - but squirming around the point to avoid talking about responsibility for the actual consequences of the decision re further fracturing the Linux desktop ecosystem is absurd.

Good article. Has the depth and detail needed.
How did you handle accepting your dreams would never happen?
>Rather they are designed to prevent you making others sick.

Except N95 masks weren't designed for that at all. N95s and better masks have been worn for decades to protect the wearer from all kinds of airborne problems, from dust to virus particles. They have proven quite effective at that task. But maybe you think all those workers in the Ebola ward are just wearing masks as a fashion statement?

Masks do prevent the wearer from getting sick, far more than wearing no mask at all. Is it 100% protection? No, but nobody should be complaining about that. I'll take 95% protection or even 50% protection over no protection at all.

Please read my comments properly, I'm saying that currently engineers are not familiar with quaternion because they have been exposed to vector calculus in their formal education not physicists. About thirty years ago in my EM class we have had a combined class of engineers and physicists, for some unknown reasons the lecturer was a microwave engineer. Thanks to physicists like David Hestenes that are more physicists now who are familiar with quaternion but for engineers it's still very much a minority thanks to Oliver Heaviside who really hated quaternions and popularized the inferior vector notations rather than superior quaternion versor notations.

As I've also mentioned in my comments the quaternion is necessary in order to fully describe polarization in EM, and there other comments in this post that upholds Heaviside vector can provide the exact representation of EM that is not correct. Heaviside vector representation is the simplication of the more comprehensive quaternion representation but do not mislead to say otherwise i.e the same thing.

For Riemann hypothesis, I just providing my intuition that whoever want to proof it need to have quaternion in their toolbox while Terence commented that whoever want to proof it needs a proper set of tools but he did not mention the exact tool just merely saying that current tools are inadequate. For me whatever the set of tools that will be used to proof Riemann hypothesis, one of them will be most probably quaternion.
Perhaps we should consider relaying the signal through a third satellite.

As for the article, I believe one of the reasons English and by extension the US ended up "owning" the computer revolution was it was a large language with a simple alphabet. It has less letters than many other large language and was easily coded into the tiny computers of the 40s and 50s.
It appears that most of OPs code is licensed under the MIT License -- if you take some MIT Licensed code, modify it, and re-publish it you can't just remove the license or the copyright notice from it.

IANAL and this hasn't really been sorted out by the courts at all yet, but you could certainly make an argument that AI generating code based on what it has scraped is a derivative work. I am yet to see an AI bot that outputs licenses and copyright notices with it's generated code.
