Howdy! I'm a senior frontend software engineer that enjoys building intuitive and compelling product experiences, especially at early/mid-stage startups doing meaningful work.

Looking for a position where I can offer technical leadership, more of an individual contributor than a manager. I enjoy working at all ends of the product pipeline, from discovery, UI designs, even user feedback interviews. Something that would really draw me to a role would be consistent design work, or at least working closely with designers so I can learn more of the craft.

I'm best reached via email, looking forward to hearing from you!
Yeah, you nailed it. They claim that their Japanese online Coffee shop was hit by a BIN attack and strip wouldn't let them back in, but didn't exactly give any details

> because they have no state that represents anything.

Are you sure about that? Both have lots of representation to them. Rocks have their atomic structures and you can easily view this as code. You can also view lightning as a representative of the intersection of cloud and ground states.

The point I'm making is that representation is not enough. Storage (or memory) is not enough even recall is not enough. If it is, then any mechanical process is. Because you can build computation machines out of nearly anything. You can build memory out of almost anything. And the hello world python program I wrote has both!

You can argue scale, but we see animals with much smaller scale than these ML models perform unambiguous reasoning tasks and critical thinking. You can then argue architecture and data, but then that's not just scale.

The problem with all these people making claims is that they don't consider base assumptions and they don't follow the consequences of the model (your mental model of what is consciousness) is and must mean! So many people argue that they are working from "first principles" but I don't see anyone writing down their fucking axioms.

Of course you should try to prove what you want, but not at the cost of not being wrong. Doing so will prevent you from achieving what you want. I'm just so tired of people shooting themselves in the foot and calling it medicine. We need to stop with all the bullshit because I actually want to build AGI
Maybe it has some great AI web-scraping (what ever that means but it is combining the two of the most parasitic domains together) included.
Bingo. During the pandemic, I started a project to keep myself busy by trying to scrape stock market ticker data and then do some analysis and make some pretty graphs out of it. I know there are paid services for this, but I wanted to pull it from various websites for free. It took me a couple months to get it right. There are so many corner cases to deal with if the pages aren't exactly the same each time you load them. Now with the help of AI, you can slap together a scraping program in a couple of hours.
This is a problem with some tests. The students may detect a pattern in the test answers which reflects the work of those generating the answers, not the content.

See this article on SAT test prep.[1] The requirement that only one answer can be right means that wrong answers have easily identifiable properties.

There shouldn’t really be any “system” stuff though, just my PID and its children.
Everyone in US public schooling from 2020 through 2023, really.
I agree with the other comments here that you're better off just hosting it yourself. Though, if you go down the path of considering commercial services check out y.gy (note: I'm affiliated). It would allow you to see where people are clicking from (Twitter, Reddit, etc.) and where they are clicking (city-level). It _could_ be useful depending on your traction.
The first two are product quality, not code quality
Bluesky just found its moment. Hopefully they can capitalise.

Scrapers have always been notoriously brittle and prone to breaking completely when pages make even the smallest of structural changes.

Scraping with LLMs bypasses that pitfall because it's more of a summarization task on the whole document, rather than working specifically on a hard-coded document structure to extract specific data.
"When did you last fail your colleagues really badly and what did you do to fix it?"

Saying "I don't think I ever fucked up really badly" was not an option, and the interviewer clearly told me "listen, I have to fill this form and it asks this". So I started making up bullshit answers, but of course I didn't want to make up something so bad I would fail the interview. And every time, the interviewer would say "hmm, but that is not really a big fuck up. What else do you have?".

Interviews are weird. Makes me think that when a company behaves like this, I should just tell them that I am not really interested anymore. But usually when you apply somewhere you want the job, right?
I am absolutely glad that, I disable Siri immediately on all of my devices and grateful for the ominous mic-in-use indicator on all apple devices. Android also has a mic in use indicator too, but own only a Pixel to comment on Android in general.

The referenced articles are light on details and appear to be “he said she said they said” and pointing to the same archived blog post from CMG.

That being said, I see a rising popularity of Alexa all over my circle, so no high hopes. Even if I can battle my devices, I can’t battle my family, friends and neighbors from adding Amazon Echo devices everywhere and mindlessly talking to it all day.

Edit: redundancy and typo.
Then why do we keep code after it has been compiled to a functional executable? Why do we (those of us working on teams) have rules limiting how code is written, or even in what language? Why do we study abstraction strategies like OOP and FP? Codifying and then storing a solution is not a necessity essential to a solution, it’s a necessity satisfying an external pressure. My conjecture is that that external pressure is the authors’ need to transmit solutions across time (eg to oneself when it stops running for w/e reason) and space (eg to collaborators), so the solution can be read and understood, revised and extended, in the same way we transmit other ideas in natural language prose or other symbolic systems. If we want to treat this outside of the humanities, we need to abandon high level languages like bash and C and return to manipulating registers and memory directly.

I totally agree with you. I just wanted to summarize tersely.
his blood serum levels of vitamin D were four times the level that is considered "the absolute upper bound of safety" - he had 600ng/ml, the number i speak of is 150ng/ml.

Science (from 2011 on) is pointing at ~100ng/ml to be "effective buffer / margin for hypercalcemia" - he was six times that much. and as i mentioned in a different unrelated thread, if any doctor suspected Vitamin D overdose, they would have prescribed vitamin K, which offsets the calcium "deposits".
I like how this xkcd explains it: https://xkcd.com/722/
there's probably some cost to having a bunch of unfinished projects occupy my mental bandwidth but I think there are some benefits:

- having unfinished projects gives my mind a comfortable place to go think itself out when I'm tired and need to sleep.
- each project doubles as a kind of lookout tower providing some perspective on other related projects or relevant technologies, and this keeps me interested in paying attention to new developments in non-superficial ways.
- every once in while a spark of motivation will appear for a project I haven't touched in years and it'll be something I recently learned backpropagating constructively, tightening the whole mess up a bit and helping me retain it all.
But does he run it on Linux?
I really like the orientation of that chart. Next time I put a long time series chart in a document I'm doing time on the Y axis starting from the top.
A lot of Brazilian users are posting "I am using a VPN to access X" on BlueSky so the judge will probably order BlueSky to turn over their IP addresses(like he did in orders to X) so they can be fined $9000 a day.
That's a cop-out. Transferring money out of the country from a normal ATM is impossible, meaning the money is usually recoverable. If the people operating the Bitcoin ATMs had to share liability, their actions would help you quickly understand that warnings aren't enough.
Other countries such as some middle-eastern states and Russia are already intervening in the conflict, often not entirely with the more purest of intentions, or with the interests of the Sudanese people at heart.

So "let the chaos develop on its own" reasons from a situation that simply does not exist.
What do you find problematic with that phrase?
The Internet's Creative Constraints
I agree that startups need to be very careful with adding people -- and that most are not. For whatever it's worth, at Oxide we have long past the scale where everyone knows everything (currently ~75 employees); there is no doubt turbulence ahead as we grow with respect to employees, but I do think that some of our cultural idiosyncrasies (e.g. writing-intensive, recording every meeting)[0] have helped/will be helpful in this regard.

This level of complexity and sophistication somehow "randomly happened", they said
One interesting question is if you can get the benefits of legibility without the very human downsides of corruption, authoritarianism, poor decision-making, and self-dealing that come from having humans at the top of this pyramid of legibility.

I work for one of those Big Tech companies, and internally, it is anything but legible. Very consequential decisions are made by a small team that happens to have responsibility for the codebase in question, oftentimes very far down in the org. Culturally at least there is a respect for data and a sincere effort to do the right thing, but when your decisions impact 3 billion people there is no way a human can fully evaluate them. And ironically, a recurring problem for the last 20 years is that the CEO has no idea what's going on within the company. Most records about what's being worked on, why, how far along they are, who's involved, etc. are firmly in the realm of metis, tribal knowledge that's passed down in 1:1s and watercooler conversations.

The more I encounter other powerful government bureaucracies (like building codes, local government, zoning, legislation), the more I suspect they work the same way. Somebody at the time it was formalized decided "this is how it should work" on the basis of the best information available at the time, and then once it's formalized, it's virtually impossible to change.

I'm interested in crypto not for the "get rich quick" or even the "currency" aspect, but for the prospect of replacing corporations and executives. Crypto's big innovation is in creating a shared reality everybody accepts without a centralized authority to enforce that reality. This is exactly the same efficiency advantage that having a single executive gives. Could you use blockchains to essentially create an "artificial executive", a plan of record that everybody gets behind that doesn't fall prey to human fallibilities?
Attention Is the Scarce Resource
Elon Musk Promotes Tweet Calling for 'Republic' Run by 'High Status Males'
Funnily enough, web scraping was actually the motivating use-case that started my co-founder and I building what is now openpipe.ai. GPT-4 is really good at it, but extremely expensive. But it's actually pretty easy to distill its skill at scraping a specific class of site down to a fine-tuned model that's way cheaper and also really good at scraping that class of site reliably.
Artis Works | Senior Engineer Frontend and Backend (2 separate roles available) | Rust, Clojure, TypeScript | Remote (Europe time zone, UK preferred)

We’re building a collaborative, local-first set of tools that take raw financial market data from multiple financial exchanges and allows users to create excel-like formulas using both the market data and user-entered data as inputs. The problems we are solving are extremely challenging, but we have delivered a working V1 and have a rapidly growing dedicated user base and recently secured VC funding.

Both roles are for senior developers:

- Frontend is React/strict TypeScript/local-first DB + sync engine, custom formula evaluation engine written in rust compiled to WASM (no Rust/WASM expertise necessary for this role)
- Backend is mostly Rust + some Clojure (no Clojure experience needed), k8s/Postgres Aurora, QuestDB, Kafka.

We’re a (currently 5-person) remote dev team mostly based in the UK with an office near Victoria if you prefer to work from there. We’re looking for people who have a strong focus on performance and familiarity with the languages and tools we use. Salary range is £100k-£140k + bonus + laptop of your choice.

We try to keep red tape and bureaucracy to a minimum and mostly just use linear and slack for collaboration but are always open to process suggestions from anyone on the team.

However, they're comparing against no gut bacteria at all, a condition never found in nature. Gut bacteria are necessary for mammals to digest some foods. "Eliminating all gut bacteria harms fetal development" could be another title.

It'd be more interesting to compare different plausible microbiomes.
This is the same fundamental thing as the password hash example. I can verify you without ever seeing your password, the policeman can verify you without ever seeing your documents - same exact concept.

My question is then: What is unique to ZKPs? Are the ZKP folks just asking us to start calling these techniques "ZKPs"?

When I use Clear for IDV is that a ZKP? Just like your example, they show the ID to Clear, but I never see the ID.
"oh these new-fangled kids what with their superscalar processors. 100 instructions in a cycle, phooey! Back in my day, it was dang gummed 100 cycles for each instruction, and gosh darnit we liked it! Now that was just for the add instruction, a division, well some say they never figured out how many cycles that was because it took too long. I had an onion in my belt which was the style at the time"
This was filmed prior to the slap. It's a sunk cost for Apple. They could either lose all of the money they put into producing it or gain some of it back in Apple TV subscriptions.
yep, i'd assume any kind of real interaction would produce this memory-reinforcement result.

Could Brazil's X Ban Spread to Other Countries?
Or if you want something that you can actually get (since it's impossible to get a new ISDN line as a consumer), you could do VoIP with G.722/Opus or cellular with HD Voice (AMR-WB). The quality is honestly on par with ISDN.

And yes, ISDN is still the gold standard for remote voice acting work, but as ISDN lines have gotten more difficult to order a lot of folks have been moving to VoIP. I've heard an app called Source Connect is popular in the broadcast industry, and supposed to provide equivalent quality to ISDN.
Anti-aging tech fixes demographic collapse
No, that comes down to shooting the messenger because you don't like what he said. This is usually done by 'the bad guys' and this seems to be the case in Brazil as well.
Good luck to them, but this is the "reason" crypto exists. I don't think we need (or can sustain) dozens of payment processors all with their own flavor of politics/dispute resolution quirks.
I tend to agree. Humans are all about 98%the same and anything like this that causes issue should have had very similar symptoms across the board and it didn’t seem to and it shouldn’t have been that only a few from large groups were “affected” when it was reported. I think this is more of a mind over matter thing and where undiagnosed health issues got misreported. I think it was probably shut down not because of ethics but because it wasn’t real.
I'm still not sure what fortress actually does that is new.

What I'm guessing is that if you have a isolation=shared tenant you add a database to an existing postgresql cluster and if it is set to isolation=dedicated you setup a separate cluster? The clusters are setup with normal postgresql hosted solutions like AWS aurora and billed in the same way, right?

If so I don't understand why I'd use your product over any traditional IaC like CDK or terraform where I have done similar stuff (spin up multiple instances/clusters/databases based on tenants) and seems to integrate better with existing devops tooling or a workflow on top of CDK/terraform scripts that creates databases/schemas.
It depends on the target audience:

If non-technical, then YouTube videos and blog posts help them.

If semi-technical or mixed, then the press release or a news article is a good middle ground.

If technical, then the full-text of the study is good.

If technical and busy, then just the abstract of the study is good.
You say it's optimized for SLA, could it work with FDM? I haven't looked up the dialectic constants for PLA or PETG, but I'm very curious.
Ask HN: How difficult would it be kill golfballs?
I was walking my dog in the forest today.
To one side there is a golf club with a bit of forest between me and it
I could hear people at the driving range having fun.

I had recently read about an F16 crashing in Ukraine, possibly due to a Patriot rocket.
(This has been strongly denied since then. ).

Still my brain returned to the general problem for anti-rocket rockets.
That of being at the right area at the right time for an explosive date with an enemy missile.

As the golf balls kept flying through the air, my mind switched to golf balls.

How difficult would it be for a sniper to hit a golf ball in the air?

With some form of mechanism to keep the gun a bit quiet, it would be fun if someone shot golf balls.
If the balls would actually be mostly destroyed, they would appear to just disappear.

Is that more difficult than a missile hitting another missile?

Of course a sniper is just human, so let’s mount the rifle on a Patriotish kit so the computer can do its magic.

Well perhaps we can give it 4 sniper rifles to use?

What is we instead just but some canons on it that can fire an excessive amount of bullets in a short period of time?

What are the odds of making it work? Killing golf balls.
Thanks.

So probably the user on the video types in a phonetic approximation of the words using the latin alphabet, and the software translates it to the abugida symbols?

Seems plausable, especially because he types several latin characters to get one symbol.

Interesting to note that sometimes he also uses digits.
