I'm with zamadatix and I'm also posting because I hear some pain.

Putting yourself out for hire is bloody hard and we all have to do it. I ditched my CV (Brit) about 24 years ago and am the MD of a small IT company but I still have to sell myself as well as my little company.

HN's "Who wants to be hired" threads are a pretty decent opportunity. You get eyes on your post from everywhere without it being that MS Linked In wankery. There are no algorithms here, your post goes up or down on old school forum voting. Also, the forum admin patrolling in these parts is rather more efficient than some. I gather that LI is rather important in the US (it isn't here, thankfully) so make the most of HN.

So, if you want to be hired, get that CV (resume) in tip top condition and make the best use of these threads.

I'm afraid I can't offer anything as exotic as Paris. My firm is in the south west of England, which is generally considered quite rural, except where it isn't.

I wish you all the best but please be your best you when presenting yourself in public (I think that makes sense!)
Definitely -- and there are a million of them, so it can keep you occupied for a while. Her non-Vorkosigan fantasy books are also pretty great (Wold of the Five Gods series / Curse of Chalion, etc).
I think the way to read it is as a few things:
- An artifact intended to try to help solidify a sense of unity of mission and values
- Internal cheerleading
- A stake in the sand about things which did not fit in with the values.

I read this at the time it showed up on everyone's desks (I wish I'd kept it, but I have no idea where it is). Employees naturally rolled their eyes at some of the excessive optimism in some places, but generally it got the ethos right. That some of the boldest statements have fallen by the wayside ("We don't build better services to make money; We make money to build better services", "Build Products around people, not data") is obviously disappointing, but I'd view what it was trying to do in the light of a piece of art that fell short of its goal rather than merely self-unaware.

It was never intended as PR. It delivered its message via anecdotes and the experiences of working there, not in any way that would have anywhere close to the same meaning to the broader world.
I'd be happy to see any "songs all in the same key" type playlists if anyone wants to share one

I'm a programmer interested in music visualization and it would be handy to have a few of these

> modern society isn’t optimized for productivity

It's optimized for profit. Ideally these would be one in the same. In any case our productivity is easily an order of magnitude greater today than it was 100 years ago. The lack of technical progress into our legislatures and courts even though we currently poses the ability to afford the same order of magnitude improvements is a curiosity and implies there's a form of corruption that's taken root. This seems to allow non productive companies to command most of the profits.

> a harder time focusing and accomplishing things

Relative to self reports? The grass was probably greener and the schools were definitely better too. You might as well note that jobs have not gotten any more complex nor opportunities any wealthier in that time. People still flip burgers and sling french fries for minimum wage. They used to goof off out back now they troll the internet in their off moments.

> isn’t enough to fully protect one’s attention and intention.

Outer space is super exciting. Until people realize it takes months to make it even just to Mars. Our attention span was never that great to begin with.

Readme title: Wizard's Toolkit (WTK)
I've seen people teach by playing the open-face (or otherwise simplified version) of a single turn as a way to give an overview of core mechanics.

Naturally, this works better if the 2 hour game consists of dozens of 5 minute turns rather than a few half-hour ones.

If you show one hand of Texas Hold'em, and don't actually play it, but instead talk through what players might be thinking at various points, then you not only cover the mechanics, but sell the game (through the rhetorical device of dramatic irony: you emphasize that the players don't have complete information, and may try to mislead each other, and may come to wrong conclusions even without such deceit, and of course nobody knows what will come on the river...). But of course, it's difficult to disentangle that from a strategy discussion.

Perforce wasn't good either, yes bitkeeper was better but hit still managed to make things better, at least for the linux kernel development
Congrats on launching! From your explanation comparing to traditional workflow engines it would be a step up from something like Airflow, but I was wondering about a comparison to Temporal which does let you create dynamic DAGs as well as provides some additional guarantees around reliability of workers in case of crashes.

The thing is... this should be the default. There should be no list for this default.

The list should exist only when a deviation from the default is required. There definitely are use cases for it.
You shouldn't have to "flip to" the win conditions. Historically they were among the first thing written in the rules (I was that weird kid who had actually read the rules for Monopoly, and could tell you that your "free parking" setup was BS, and explain how mortgaging is supposed to work...): in a section titled "Object of the Game" (sometimes in all caps).
Are you also going to insist that The New York Times have the print equivalent of #AAAAAA?

It could get a lot worse in the HDR age where the screen has an ability, limited in time and space, to get super bright and you might have to play a video (not an image or web page glyph) to get at the ability.

If we solve fusion, or even if we exploit space solar on a massive scale, we should in principle have all the energy we need to put the carbon back into charcoal.
Not insulted by the condescending tone at all. I assumed you were being sarcastic/funny.
Granted. Thinking twice, BHs move in space really fast, for example when they orbit other BHs. Meaning their mass is not frozen in time, otherwise these will elongate or rip apart. So the time dilation wouldn't be have such big effect, and atoms might not be compacted too much?
Goblins | https://goblinsapp.com | Founding Engineer #2 | Williamsburg, New York | ONSITE | $100-200k (+ generous equity)

In education, we have always traded off scale and quality. In a 30-student math class, half of kids are ready to accelerate while half are still working on their foundational skills, but teachers cannot be in 30 places at once, giving each student one-on-one support.

Until now. Imagine 30 teachers in every classroom—that's how Goblins feels. Students draw math on any device, and our AI figures out the "why" behind their confusion, giving instant feedback and building conceptual foundations. (Preview: https://youtu.be/SH9UomzBMUs)

Goblins launched to a private beta in March with 15 schools and 300 students. Since then we've built a waitlist of 2,300 teachers, and we now have paid school and district customers across the US and Mexico. We've also raised from angels and received a large grant from the Gates Foundation.

We are in the unique position of having a product that is both highly differentiated and demanded. Anyone who joins now will be getting well-priced equity. By the end of this school year, this company will be much larger.

Current technical problems we're working on:

→ Building knowledge graphs that adapt to student performance in real-time, routing them to the optimal next problem to work on

→ Extending our handwriting recognition from digital canvas to real paper through Chromebook cameras (think real-time OCR on math equations through low-quality webcams with poor lighting and limited CPU)

→ Creating interactive mathematical lessons (think 3blue1brown, but conversational) that remediate student misconceptions

You'll be engineer #2 on the team, joining Sawyer (CEO, former Head of Design at X1, acquired by Robinhood, and math teacher) and Alp (CTO, previously Stripe and Amazon).

We move fast, care deeply about craft, and obsess over delighting users. If you're interested, email sawyer@goblinsapp.com :)
The prequels are cool

Haven’t seen the new one*
I worked in research on wearables for more than a decade, including research with medical doctors. The number one reason we got from doctors about not using wearable data was that they didn't know what to do with it, what it meant. If blood pressure is too high when they've had you sit still for a while and taken a measurement in their office with their machine, they know how to interpret that. If you show them a continuous blood pressure trace from a persons whole day, they have no idea what to do with it. How much should your BP go up when you are doing something strenuous? How much should it go down when you sleep? They don't know. The volume of data also dismayed them. Present a years worth of heart rate data and who has time to look through it all and understand what it means? You need to know the context of the readings, what the person was doing, what was going on in the environment, even what the person was thinking, and wearable data comes with little context (mainly just accelerometer and gyro data, but it can't tell if you are eating dinner or watching tv or typing on a keyboard). The UI's for looking at the long term data are terrible, and it requires a lot of processing power to get a reasonable response time, and there is no ability to query the data, such as looking for time-offset correlations between one type of reading and another. The data just is not very usable without context. A person looking at their own data for the day remembers the context, what they did that day, but how about a month ago? A year ago? Sensor accuracy still needs improvement also (e.g., did your body temperature go up today because you're getting sick or because you spent the day outside when it was hot instead of staying inside in the air conditioning? If the sensor is affected by ambient temperature there is no way to tell.) Wearable health sensing is good enough to be somewhat useful to an individual, but it needs to be developed a lot more to be useful to a doctor (though it can provide clues that are useful sometimes). There need to be a lot of RCT's to understand just what the data means, what is normal for a person, what indicates a problem. There is also the fear that if the doctors help develop this technology it will replace a lot of their diagnostic function. That could be good, but it could also result in everyone trusting the machine's decisions rather than looking at what is actually happening with the person.

To give an example, a wearable might indicate a sudden change in gait for an elderly person. Is that a sign of mental decline? Muscle deterioration due to age? A stroke? Or were they playing baseball two days ago with a grandchild and injured themselves? New shoes? It could be any of these and more besides. If the machine does not evaluate all the possibilities it can only choose from the ones it does implement, which raises the likelyhood it will be wrong.
Reminds me of how the settled peoples of Europe, the Middle East and Asia eventually worked out the nomads would definitely raid you if you didn't make your settled-people-goods available for trade.

I've often heard people say that "true" perfect pitch can only be accomplished with synesthesia, but I have no idea if it's true. Back when I played clarinet, I had decent relative pitch and I could ballpark a B-flat tuning note if I thought hard enough. That was enough to work my way to an absolute pitch, but it took a while.

I always imagined the mental pathway for people with perfect pitch as being completely different from mine, but I could see it being a spectrum as well.
> we had 100s of channels like the 'golf channel' with useless programming

Hey, I like the golf channel.

I'm not sure what the complaint is here. People wanted individual channels.

Now at last they can buy just the Disney channel for ten bucks a month and get all the latest lame Star Wars miniseries without yucky sports.

How is this not a deal? Is that not what everyone wanted?

If people are now saying they want to just like, pay a dollar for a single Star War, well, good luck.
I'm not sure where you got 48 from. I need 4 or 5 VLANs. I need a little bit of PoE. I need a little bit of SFP+. I want it all to fit in 1U of rack space.

The VLANs are to keep my network segmented: wan, management, internet of shit, trusted, testing.
Ahh that makes sense. I do think that a single fck-nat instance can service multiple AZ's though in a AWS region. Just need to adjust the VPC routing table. Thanks for the reply and info.
+1 for headache-inducing. Perhaps not all of them, but certainly the blue-shifted ones I eventually had to remove from my living room.
Agree, plus a lot of tweets will have replies to accounts that exist on Twitter that will be broken and a lot of Twitter-related talk
Prefect is also a non-DAG based workflow engine that has very similar functionality to what is outlined here; they have built a few tools in the AI space (marvin and controlflow iirc)
It was a very long time before I connected “Rand” to Research And Development.
Whereas most advice you read on social media is to pay for a course.

Sounds like the ads of our time. I.e. influencers paid to do promotions. Not unlike the ads for certifications and courses before really. Certifications are BS. Someone with zero experience but "certs" is not gonna win any favours with me in an interview. Show you can do the job. A university degree is somewhere in between as there are many ways to get one. The BS - cert kind of - way and the "real" way.

It seems the simplest advice would be to just read the documentation then make things, when you struggle refer back to the documentation.

This has always been how I have learned. Learning by doing. Even in university. Just practice basically. Do whatever you need to learn or remember over and over with some time in between. Just like any other muscle exercise: reps!

Spaced "repetition is the mother of learning" is what my parents always told me. Minus the "spaced" part.

And yes, that's how we learned for most (good) university courses. We had "labs" every week. It was non-mandatory and while some profs would give you credits towards the final grade if you took part in them, the idea really was to get you to practice things over and over with some time in between. By the time you were learning for the final exam, it was already at least the second or third repetition of applying the knowledge.

Reading docs (or the book / your lecture notes) when trying to apply the knowledge is OK. Just reading it multiple times but not actually trying to use it really doesn't do anything in my experience. I passed my initial "learn a programming language" course at university without ever going to a lecture past the first two for example. I was using said language to actually build something that required what I knew was gonna be the main part of the exam (boolean logic - duh - and concurrency - way more fun) for building some actually useful tool for a friend.
that a bacteria decided to "lemme make this dude ask a question on HN". On a serious note, it's already answered in the article - it means that our behavior is not only influenced by the gut bacteria (already proven), but the brain ones too.
Or pair something like this with SLAM to track the motion and constrain its generation - feed it the localisation/particle/Kalman filter (or whatever map representation) as additional context, and it should be able to form consensus fairly quickly?

This is really impressive, I would suggest benchmarking it against Vespa as well I have gotten better perf results from Vespa than Lucerne/Solr/ES.

I’ll take a try this weekend as well.
> There's nothing like the blood brain barrier basically anywhere else.

There is. The placenta and, oddly, prostate as well.
Did you not read the link? The reference should be obvious. I'm giving the link too much credit calling it 'explanation' but it isn't even an example of what it advocates in any case.
no. they are molecules, and they are let in by the barrier.
Have they pushed any male authors in that time period? There's a Tor-centric blog network that is pretty explicitly doing affirmative action style promotion of women and minority ethnic group authors. "Safe, media-conglomerate friendly DEI SF" is practically Tor's brand at this point.

I'd put e.g. James A Corey in the same bucket (though I can't remember what proportion of them is actually male?) but I honestly can't think of any new male authors from Tor over that period. (They're Cixin Liu's US publisher so you might count him, but he's bad in so many different ways that I don't know I'd put him in the same category). And even beyond publishers, few of the authors being pushed by newspapers/Goodreads/etc. seem to be male.
Let’s have restaurants raise prices to cover employee salaries, and make it illegal for them to ask for tips. Customers who want to tip need to do so without solicitation. (Not sure how this would work with credit card terminals though).
> When I first joined the Internet (1995!), there was more of an expectation of civility (IRC being a notable exception), and that is the behavior pattern I picked up upon.

Also netiquette, learning to lurk before posting, meeting people outside your normal groups and getting along with them and other behaviors I'm sure I'm forgetting. Being a tech person on the early internet, despite the flame wars, was a positive experience for me. People wanted to make this work, and that early internet full of tech-minded people and engineers did work to some degree. The idea that this could become a place where people could be what they wanted to be but were still accepted was the idea going at that time, at least according to my experiences. Niches mostly kept to themselves, you could find the groups you wanted to be a part of, and you could avoid those you didn't. When everything we had started to go mainstream, it started to crack and fray. When everything went commercial, it all came crashing down.

I'm thinking mostly of pre-web, and early web. I remember thinking when I came across the first URL in a movie that it was likely the start of the end of the internet as I knew it. I think it was "The Net" which was probably mid-90s.
