Lead Fullstack Engineer | Literal Labs | REMOTE (UK, EU) or ONSITE (London, Newcastle) | Full-time | https://www.literal-labs.ai/

We all have a sense that AI has the potential to change the world for the better; to push humanity forward. To fulfil its potential, artificial intelligence must run at the edge wherever it is needed, and not be dependent on cloud connectivity. To meet society's needs, AI has to be explainable, it has to be fast, and it has to be economically and energy efficient. Literal Labs is working to make that happen.

At Literal Labs, we are pioneers in the AI sector, dedicated to transforming the landscape of technology through innovative AI solutions. With a foundation deeply rooted in engineering and scientific excellence, we strive to create impactful tools and applications that redefine the interaction between humans and technology. Our commitment to high-quality work, employee development, and a collaborative culture makes us a beacon for those who aspire to shape the future of AI.

As the Product Engineering Pod Lead, you will be at the forefront of architecting and developing web applications and cloud solutions that integrate our groundbreaking Tsetlin Machine technology.

This role is pivotal in turning sophisticated AI capabilities into accessible, user-friendly products that will revolutionise how our customers interact with AI. You will collaborate directly with the CTO and other pod leaders to ensure our technological solutions are robust, scalable, and aligned with Literal Labs’ strategic goals.

Please note: We are looking for a generalist in this role, an experienced set of hands that has overseen the complete lifecycle of web applications in previous experiences, and has solved the plethora of issues that arise along the way.

What We Offer; a place for ambitious people, a dynamic role in a rapidly growing company at the cutting edge of AI technology; a company for personal development: Opportunities for professional growth through our culture, conferences, training, and courses, with resources available from our partnership with Newcastle University; no politics, no red-tape, but instead an exciting space: A collaborative, innovative, and fun work environment (because it should be) where your voice is valued, we pull together, and your contributions define the future of the company; benefits include early stage equity, pension scheme and an unlimited holiday scheme.

Please reach out to me (leon at literal-labs.ai) with the subject "HN" for more information, or see our LinkedIn JD: https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/3942949387

Thanks!
Hi, this is John, one of the co-founders. Thank you so much for the feedback. We agree with you. We are in the process of getting our SOC2 compliance. We want to be the data infrastructure that is immediately HIPPA, SOC2, and GDPR. Similar to what Porter builds on your cloud, it is SOC2.
I have a vape pen. A cartridge lasts me about 3 months because I smoke such a small amount. In theory this is a win for me because I can get inebriated for about $0.40/day.

But if I puff for 6 seconds instead of 3 all of a sudden I’m in couch lock confusion mode for a few hours, which is unpleasant.

It would be nice if like alcohol there was a better way to take a standard amount of thc. I know I’m going to be a ok if I have 2 shots, but two puffs of a friend’s joint is a random spin on the wheel of experiences.
I think you have a lot of potential customers who know they have a multi tenant challenge but don’t know that they have a “don’t roll your own” challenge. Most multi tenant systems fail open rather than fail closed and leak data very easily. Forget a where clause? Query should find no data, not everyone’s data.

Always try to find ways to remove an entire class of problem.
There used to be a Twitter account named something like @TLFTravel. It was a high-quality, surreal Weird Twitter satire. I miss those days.
This article's kind of a mess.

I agree with the premise (the only success I've ever had consuming THC has been through legal edibles, where I can reliably control the dosage), and I agree - at least in part - with doing what it claims to be the solution (federal descheduling and regulation), but it does a poor job establishing any real connection between the two.

In particular it's not clear to me how federal regulation will make any of this work any better than regulation at the state level.
Show HN: A modern way to type in African languages
Hello HN, I'm pythonbrad and a core maintainer of Afrim - an input method engine for African languages.

Afrim want to simplify the typing in African languages and also digitalize the African typing systems. Basically, it wants to solve the problems encountered with current solutions:
- slow typing
- not easily configurable
- keyboard layout dependent
- constant bugs

Additionally, Afrim offers the following features [1]:
- Dataset easily customizable
- Keyboard layout independent
- Auto completion, autocorrection and autosuggestion
- Support all sequential codes

Technical details [2]:
Afrim is written in Rust and his architecture is inspired of RIME.

What's next?
- Offer an android frontend of the Afrim (in development) [3]
- Support more African input methods as possible

I would like to have your opinions about this project. I have been working on it so far, and I would like to know how I can improve it.

lol, there is no comment section

Also, I love reviews where it turns out that everything is flawless.
Philosophically, when is TFL not dealing with a cybersecurity incident? It's a perennial page for a perennial situation, after all.

In fact, it seems more like a canary that they can take down when evidence of a breach turns up!
You're assuming that those people are using their old existing accounts, aren't you?
There is no federal standardization since it's still plain illegal at that level but I think the article underplays the standards set by the states so far. They tend to be similar to alcohol labeling or, if not, significantly better (especially states like Nevada which require both percentage and absolute amounts be labeled for THC and CBD on each product regardless of type).

That said I wouldn't mind a more consistent federal rule, I'm just not sure I follow the concerns from the article as why.
Ever entered a room and immediately forgot why you came in? Dream might be much the same.

> someone with a background in computation confidently declares that X (for any value of X) is fundamentally computation.

I have to say I'm skeptical when anybody with a background solely in the monasteries of the "materialist interpretation" of the Matrix declares that even energy is a form of matter. There's even a guy in the Matrix who says that so many Matrices have been built within the Matrix experimentally, that with all probability he lives in one of those.

(I'm not just making a formulaic joke; I believe the informational/computational universe is a much better explanation of everything we see. I'm not saying digital computers, or quantum computers, not trying to shoehorn anything; the computer has the nature of our universe. But you know how when we shake hands, at a particle level we have to reinterpret to where our hands don't actually touch, our electrons repel each other, and perhaps some jump the gap? that is more informational than it is material; there is no need for the imagining of material quantum-bollards interacting; we do physics with math (abstract) not billiard balls (physical). Mind-body problem? there is no mind-body problem if the body is as abstract as the mind. Or rather, there still are some mind-body questions, but they doesn't seem as intractable.)
> The headphone jack is a “just works” kind of technology: there’s nothing complicated about it [..]

While the connector itself is indeed simple, a DAC is also needed inside, and one needs a decent DAC/amp on the phone to get a decent signal. In a cheaper smartphone, you are probably better off with bluetooth/aptx. Moreover, jack cables "just work" until they start making weird stuff depended on how they get bent or stretched or the connectors touch. I experience a surge of anxiety even writing this right now.
The Latter-Day Saints (aka Mormons) are relatively young, but they're definitely one of the more, if not the most, organized Christian sect around.
You don't keep searching until a point of "statistical confirmation". This implies you have arrived at an infallible truth. Instead you look for ways you could be wrong, and try to correct any errors you find.

For instance, if you guess 'all swans are white', you don't ever get "statistical confirmation" that your guess was right. When you eventually see a black swan, you find out you were wrong. Then it's time to come up with a new theory.
Most of the research I'm aware of shows the the link isn't causal. There aren't higher cases of schizophrenia in countries with higher cannabis use than without. Specifically, US teens use marijuana at much higher levels than many European and Asian teens, but rates of schizophrenia appear to be the same.

I take CBD bud and mix it with THC bud. Or buy the low potency stuff at the dispensary. And dabs are reserved for bedtime. Easy fix

Why the QC25s over the QC35s?
What do you mean by agent? Human, brain, some component of the brain, etc.?
What withdrawal symptoms have you experienced from weed?
A few years ago, someone had found and grown an old 90s strain of 9% weed. They didn’t try to hypermile it, they just sold it as exactly what it was.

It was the weed from my childhood. It was dreamy. It didn’t give me a five minute sky high, it didn’t give me heart palpitations, it didn’t make me nauseous. It was chill and fun and absolutely made my day.

I fucking miss that strain. I’ve had to move to specific edibles where I can very carefully control exactly how little I take (hint: not very much) and I can measure when it kicks in and when it tapers off. I can get a couple hours off and then I’m hungry when it’s over, and I can still function tomorrow? Deal.

It fucking sucks to watch people get pulled into high-dose pot though, for the same reasons that it sucks to watch people get pulled into high-dose alcohol. Fuck. I hope they regulate it soon, and I hope the states carve out more room specifically for microgroweries.
> you are uninformed about the old feud between mathematics and statistics

A little knowledge is often dangerous. Sometimes it makes one look like a fool.
Taxing based on potency would certainly help. At my legal dispensary, prices don't really seem to have any correlation to potency.

NY used to have a potency tax, but sadly just replaced it with a flat tax.
One of the first things you learn when you get your drivers license is that you don't have the same rights on public roads as you do off the roads, or in private (such as requirements for carrying up-to-date license, breathalyzers, etc).
It is not a scare story, it is well researched. Effects men more than women. This is from last year:

THC dyregulates glutamate transmission and it is probably responsible for hallucination (positive symptoms) in schizophrenia.

Ask HN: What are your biggest pain points in monetization of mobile apps?
Hi everyone!
Your insights will be incredibly valuable in guiding me how to monetize my mobile apps!
Yes they cost money to build and operate and they aren't free. I'm not sure what your point is. Electricity still gets cheaper the more power stations you build.
It sounds like a blessing to be able to inhale less carcinogens in order to get high.

Joints kinda suck anyway, get a one hitter if you’re into that sorta thing.
I received an email from TFL about this 25 minutes ago
The sensor doesn’t have a framebuffer (because it’s just a sensor) and the RPi HQ cam is basically just a sensor on a board with some mipi connectors. You might be able to buy a package with an IMX477 sensor and some microcontroller/FPGA and frame buffer ram, but that would cost a lot more.
I'm just saying, if someone works with hammers every day, and publishes some writing about how everything is nail-shaped, this might be more influenced by their experience with hammers than you'd like

I've Created a Free and Open Source Index for Newsletters and RSS Feeds
This is my "break out of tutorial hell" project. After (sadly) 2 years of learning python, puppeteer(node.js) and a bunch of other random things (dart etc.) while making unfinished projects like a "ai notification generator" I have finally made a decent project. Try it out, there is a free no-auth API that you can use, the GitHub is linked in the contacts section. To anyone interested in launching a Newsletter or RSS Feed try it out, (thenewsletterindex.info). ProductHunt is in the footer of the home page. So yeah. Feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks (:
Okay, „parts“ for me was just a word to refer to the machine, it is also okay if it is only a single part. It still remains a machine in the sense that it performs a task it should perform and does so using the same approach across all instances.

That the „parts“ do not only perform a specific function is not really surprising, because the machine does not need to be comprehensible or understandable. I would expect single-purpose parts only if that helps the function or if it helps evolvability (in the sense of not creating dead ends).
You seem to be an English-speaker, so you're likely to be hearing jokes from people who, by and large, have a fair bit of cultural context on Christianity, but almost none on Judaism or Islam. So, naturally, the religious jokes you hear, particularly on the media, where jokes have to be comprehensible to a broad audience, are more likely to be about Christianity than about Judaism or Islam, because the average viewer/reader doesn't actually know anything about Judaism or Islam, but a fair bit of context on Christianity is part of majority English-speaking culture.

An example - in the Seinfeld episode 'The Bris', there's a bit of exposition where Kramer finds out what a bris is (and is disturbed by it). The reason for that exposition, presumably, is to explain it to the _audience_; the jokes wouldn't work if the audience don't know what it is. This just isn't work you have to do for the basics of Christianity, so making jokes about it for a wide audience is easier.
The low weight is the biggest benefit IMO. I spent a number of months travelling in a Class-C (box on a van chassis) motor home. I was surprised to learn they are made from plywood and so are extremely heavy, subject to water infiltration, etc.

A 3D printed, lightweight composite would do wonders for this industry.
> you are presenting an untestable-and-only-descriptive-hypothesis as a theory.

> if we assume that what we know about it today is all there is,

This is a contradiction. It's easy to falsify the hypothesis: Show us that this isn't all there is. Until that time, it's a good hypothesis.
The subtitle is more informative: Scientists testing deadly heat limits on humans show thresholds may be much lower than first thought

The use of the wet bulb temperature as a measure for human survivability doesn't work at low humidities.
SEEKING WORK | Remote | Lead Infrastructure Engineer

I am a Lead Infrastructure Engineer with 20+ years of experience.

Whether your team is stuck troubleshooting infra issues, needs extra hands on an infra-heavy project or is just lacking tech leadership on the DevOps topics, contact me and we'll figure it out.

I prefer to work along the existing engineering teams, mentoring or training them while working together on the real tasks. This is a very effective and also a flexible way to learn and as a bonus, some work gets done on the way.

I am located in EU (Estonia) and work remotely with occasional on-site visits.

The usual topics are various AWS services, Elastic Stack, Linux, wide range of troubleshooting, infrastructure as code, logging & monitoring, managing cloud costs, but I find it rewarding to venture into new areas together with the team.

Elon Musk is an unguided geopolitical missile
Biotech firm made a smallpox-like virus on purpose. Nobody seems to care (2020)
X and US law both have rules against incitement of imminent violence. It's one of the only exceptions to the First Amendment. X extends that to making violent threats in general. Those accounts were doing the latter and sometimes the former.

The @vps_reports account named in the first tweet in your story is a good example. The Intercept claims they were suspended for engaging in "journalism", "organizing" and "documenting extremism". X claims they were suspended for making violent threats.

If we follow links a bit further we see what sort of tweets @vps_reports was making:

> "One last thing. ChayaRaichik10 should live in fear for the rest of her days. It's only fair. Put the PHOBIA in her transphobia."

(there are several more examples like that)

It's not surprising that such people would fall afoul of an anti-threat rule if enforced fairly. Pre-Musk, people like that could make violent threats on Twitter, or even coordinate mob violence there, as long as they were threatening right wing people. Musk fixed that. The Intercept is being dishonest.

It is truly bizarre that flagship phones are the ones that are dropping the most features.

And yet, we are approaching the day very soon where there's no point in getting the next year's flagship phone. It's not faster. It's not better. It doesn't have a better battery. The camera's not going to get any better. It's going to be the same form factor.

At some point phones will stop charging ridiculous amounts of money for 128 GB of RAM, when a terabyte of storage is approaching $50 in retail cost.

More ports SD card. I can see all of it coming back on the table. Cuz you're going to want features if you get a nice phone.
I cannot smoke weed since it causes extreme paranoia. But I helped two friends stop.

It is, though apparently folks tend to titrate to the same blood number with smoking since it hits so fast.

But it's still your expression, or put another way an expression of you.

Imagine art critics studying your art - they would be asking what was your history, context, what happened to you and what was going through your head that made you do this. It's always about you, even - maybe especially, considering that defeating one's ego is still noteworthy - if you don't want it to be about you.

Making art that's not about the artist is reserved to LLM... At least for now.

This is the one good comment here tbh. Work it around a few times, one starts to learn one must check and check again if that unique idea isn’t already a company, or worse a whole industry. All PG is saying is there’s some delta between 1x employee/founder doing everything and a fleet of MBAs coming and not doing much. If you’ve led teams, you know this is true. Doesn’t take a groundbreaking essay to map that out.

Forget all this drama, I wonder if we can have a Borrow Checker, like the one Rust has, implemented on top of C as an optional feature?
And since it's just a compile-time thing, it won't cause any incompatibility or breakage at runtime.
I love the idea of having the memory safety features that the Rust compiler offers, but I find Rust unreadable, it hurts my eyes, why do we have to write "let" to define a variable? why did they completely change the syntax if the goal is to be a C alternative!?

I've used Portainer, which works ok. It's web-based and is easy enough to run as a container itself.

My preferred UI for managing containers is Lazydocker. It's a terminal UI, so I can run it on servers too.

For the most part I just use the command line on Linux, but when I need to go through a large list of containers, images, or volumes to clean up, lazydocker is much better than the command line.
