Chorus One | https://chorus.one/careers | Platforms Engineer | REMOTE (Switzerland ± 6 hours)

Chorus One operates validators on many proof-of-stake blockchains (the ones where security is based on a Byzantine fault-tolerant consensus algorithm rather than wasting energy). We are hiring for several roles, but the ones I will highlight is what we call the Platforms Engineer and Infrastructure Software Engineer. Some companies call this Site Reliability Engineering or Devops.

The main thing we do is take upstream software, build it, run it on our infrastructure, and then monitor it and optimize that setup. Some things that make this interesting are:

* Building automation that enables us to do this for many networks (60+ currently).
* Doing this with high uptime, building automation for failover, etc.
* Working with software that is on the one hand cutting-edge and doing interesting things (consensus algorithms, distributed systems, cryptography), but on the other hand that means it’s immature and often not easy to operate and monitor. Often we have to build custom tools, and dive into the source code of the project. We contribute patches upstream when it makes sense.
* Some of these projects are exercising the limits of what a machine can do, we have to do some low-level investigation that requires understanding of what the Linux kernel and network hardware are doing to properly identify what’s going on.

We do have a small cloud footprint, but run primarily on bare metal. We are looking for people who can not just configure services offered by the public clouds, but who deeply understand what lies below; people who could build their own cloud. (That sounds a bit pretentious and it’s not exactly what we do, but it does involve many of the same aspects.)

If this sounds interesting to you, check out https://careers.chorus.one/o/platforms-engineer-remote and https://careers.chorus.one/o/senior-software-engineer-infras.... We have two job descriptions to appeal to people from different backgrounds; internally we treat it as a spectrum, and the interview process is similar. Whether you’re an infrastructure person who wants to move more into coding, or a software engineer who wants to get into automating operations, feel free to apply to the role that resonates more with you.

We are also hiring for other roles, see https://chorus.one/careers.

Well, it's also not true. But aside from that, plenty of software builds in its native environment. Cross-compiling is straight up hard for many toolchains.
I like it, nice and simple. I guess we could do a script ourselves, but $1 makes sense and I'd probably donate if it catches downtime a few times. It probably acts as a quick test too, in case we break something while pushing to production at 8 PM.
Honestly? Be a good customer. Help them help you and help yourself in the meanwhile

Having a 1TB file sucks in way more ways than just "your backup provider doesn't support it". Believe me.
More of this configuration is automatic with every release
>Can you list me few examples of successful projects you have in mind? Why, for example, Mistral AI isn't among them?

Yeah, I was surprised too. I would expect Mistral to jump on the band wagon if only to get some easy EU funding.
LLMs are not "comparably complex" to LHC, they are perhaps 0.1% of the complexity from engineering POV. By any metric, from system design to physical infrastructure to run them.
Simple games, I liked it.

It's not either/or. Compiling a Native Image binary gives you the JIT power of the JVM, but with faster warmup time.

Peak-peak performance is not as good as JVM in many cases, but how long does your process actually spend within that space? Native Image can be optimal for many cases
Those toxic companies have billions of cash, then backed by the tens of thousands of billions from funds like vanguard and blackrock.

This money is sort of "weaponized".

Anything more then a powerpoint coming out of this would be a generous expectation.
Maybe it's improved but when i played with btc and made 3x and freaked out and bought a secondhand pixel with my $800 stake in milliBTC the friction was huge. I paid unpredictable vig getting $ and I had very indirect access to sell price which was being constantly fucked over by whales playing.

A true economy of low friction btc transactions for pizza has never existed at the scale banks do pay wave. Its hypothetical frictionless, not actual. I'm willing to bet even legalised state coins will be tracked, frictive and taxed.
This is false.

1. Japan is a net creditor nation, meaning it owns more foreign assets than it owes in debt. The U.S., on the other hand, is a net debtor nation, meaning it relies heavily on foreign investors to finance its deficits.
Japan also has a high domestic savings rate, and a large portion of its debt is held by its own citizens and institutions. This reduces capital flight risks compared to the U.S., which depends more on foreign investors (e.g., China, Japan, and others buying U.S. Treasuries).
The U.S. dollar is the world’s reserve currency, which gives the U.S. unique advantages, but also means its debt is held globally. A loss of confidence in U.S. debt could have larger consequences compared to Japan.

2. U.S. benefits from strong global demand for the dollar, but this is not guaranteed forever. If the Federal Reserve were to absorb all bond issuance ( basically monetizing the debt), inflation expectations would rise sharply, leading to a currency crisis or higher interest rates. Zimbabwe and Weimar Germany are extreme examples of this.

U.S. essentially "exports" its debt due to its persistent trade deficits.
U.S. runs large trade deficits, meaning it imports more goods than it exports. Other countries (like China and Japan) accept U.S. dollars in exchange for their goods, and then reinvest those dollars into U.S. assets, primarily Treasury bonds. This has helped finance U.S. debt at low interest rates for decades.
If global confidence in U.S. debt declines, foreign demand for Treasuries could drop, leading to a weaker dollar, higher interest rates, and inflationary pressures.

All of your comments in this thread are misleading.

VSCode Marketplace Web Pages No Longer Allow Direct VSIX Downloads
Cline is a great alternative to Cursor if you are not willing to switch over to another (forked) editor.

However, it's baffling to me that by default Cline ignores `pkg/` folder that is common in Go projects. Check this issue - https://github.com/cline/cline/issues/927

I think Aider, Cline and Cursor are not far from each other in their capabilities.

Cursor was probably the most polished experience - especially their `Tab` autocomplete. However, I found this effect really interesting. Let's say 7 out of 10 times it's seamless, but there's uncanny valley of autocomplete in 3 out of 10 times - where you expect it to the right thing, but it either predicts wrong or takes a tad too long, 'breaking the immersion', if you will.

Cline does the job really well if you're in VSCode.
Aider is great if you prefer terminal based workflow, or do not want to commit to another editor. Another great thing in Aider is `//AI!` comment. You can start Aider in --watch-files mode and it will watch for instructions, and start executing them. This way I can work in my preferred editor and have a tool in the background performing AI tasks.

A slight edge in my case goes to Aider for this reason, despite the fact that it does not feel quite as polished as the other two.

That would be expected for a system launched 33 years later, but in Galileo and GPS are identical for civilian use (and obviously no-one knows the military capabilities of Block III satellites as that's undisclosed).

GPS+Gailleo is the current SOTA, but it's nonsense to say Galileo is "best".
Europe honestly had pretty... mid track record for space program.

should i bring up Galileo and how many years it took?
Most of the current metal printers have a wacky vendor-specific supply chain, for feedstock and also post-processing. It's not really worth it for me to buy the equipment when I need an ongoing contract for it, and it will severely drop in value / usefulness once the vendor stops supporting it.

If I build my own it's probably gonna look like a mig stinger gaffer taped to a second hand kuka ;)

I have a CNC taig and a manual mill and lathe. Like most home shops I'm stuck at 90's tech level or below.

A lot of innovation has happened in the CNC space since the 90s but not much of it seems to have trickled down :/
While I do think EU grants are a good thing, I'm sceptic about these too-big-to-fail multi-national projects. I still remember the Human Brain Project.
I read "no file size restrictions" and assume I can create a file as large as the storage space I can afford.

What else would I assume?

If there's a 1TB limit I would expect that to be described as "create files up to 1TB in size".
Nope, you can run the 671B on 100% CPU and storage. It is going to be longer to get tokens out of it, but it will work.

Heard there are some optimizations for CPU inference on storage, then it should be somewhat a tad "less slow".

Time to split that RAM among your CPU cores and mmap blocks of weights for inference from storage.

This has been explained ad nauseam. The bullet went in a straight line.

> Oswald as known CIA asset (CIA reports show this)

I’m sure the CIA has used a lot of unstable people all over. It’s not inconceivable that one of them went on to commit an assassination without being directed to by the CIA. Sometimes things are just boring.

As I understand it, this means that many regulations (CFR) are much easier to repeal now than to re-enact; it will take an act of Congress to restore executive power that is thus relinquished. But I don't have a very clear idea of why I think this, so maybe I'm misremembering...
Intresting that this problem (IO-bound threads should have priority over CPU-bound threads) already solved at OS level (most OSes will give priority boost to thread that was unblocked because of end of IO operation in hope that thread will soon block with another operation).
Well the person making the decision can just decide to do what they think will make them most money on a stock trade too, it's like they built corruption into the system.

> not a single chinese have a single thought about going war with the US

Odd. Then who in China feels the need to outcompete US military technology? Why is China developing missiles like DF-27 that are difficult to counter and take out aircraft carriers? Who is coming up with these ideas and for what purposes?
> saying "no one cares" is a dismissal about the interest on this topic

The point is if you're in a position to declassify banal documents, you probably don't care to do it. You look at them. You see they're banal. You move on.

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by boringness.
Perhaps you could say something concrete, rather than vague waffle and assertions?
Take a look in the mirror.
Why couldn't they just say 1tb limit?
I think it’s a triple negative. A BadChunkRecord is, well, a bad chunk record. A BadBadChunkRecord is a chunk record that’s bad at being bad, so it’s good. One can see the logical progression that leads BadBadBad… to be a bad one.

Of course, being bad at being bad could just be a different kind of bad. A good BadChunkRecord explains the problem with the chunk. A bad BadChunkRecord might have too little information to be a good BadChunkRecord. A bad BadBadChunkRecord could be an unhandled exception with no other details and the fact that a ChunkRecord is even involved is assumed and therefore questionable.

For clarity from the original analysis

> This document was originally written several years ago. At the time I was working as an execution core verification engineer at Arm. The following points are coloured heavily by working in and around the execution cores of various processors. Apply a pinch of salt; points contain varying degrees of opinion.

> It is still my opinion that RISC-V could be much better designed; though I will also say that if I was building a 32 or 64-bit CPU today I'd likely implement the architecture to benefit from the existing tooling.
I'd personally be worried about the two businesses just cancelling out :D

>and to reduce warmup time to peak JIT performance.

This actually works in the opposite way - JIT is a guided compilation which uses the input for best results. There are many optimizations done for multi call sites, e.g. static linking + guard, dual site inline, inline caches, and the v-table calls if all fails. Without guided optimization such decisions are not likely to happen.

In other words for peak runtime performance JIT would surpass ahead of time/native compilation.

>reduce container size

I would be exceptionally hard pressed to find a single case where that would matter (aside specific client deployments) - server side and the like I'd not care about extra 100MB or so deployable. E.g. if I want really small footprint I'd go and do it all in pure C w/ an absolute min external library support.

>startup times

I already mentioned it - and anything not sub 0.5sec, Java does quite ok. There is a lot to be said about the use of DI frameworks with blatant class path scans, but that's not necessarily Java's fault.

Software Engineer with 8yoe. Most of my career I've led research and startup-like commercial projects for companies wanting to modernize their processes, using whichever technology I felt was adequate. Some examples are: deployment of multiple applications on EC2 instances and on Kubernetes (with EKS, Helm Charts, ArgoCD, Istio), telemetrics pipeline and dashboards with AWS (S3, Lambda, Glue, Athena, Grafana) to track millions of daily messages from a fleet of vehicles, firmware for two 1M€ industrial EVs, a plugin for Cura 3D printing software, knitting machine defect detection with computer vision, redid my employer's website from scratch, telemetry of a global fleet of threading machines, a cloud connected tractor using satellite data for fertilization, firmware of a machine that manufactures medical plastic parts with ultrasounds... I've also recently won the Swisshacks hackathon with an AI RAG tool for financial analysts.

Yes; gold would also be a bad thing to use as a currency.
Wow. Very sharp dividing line. But that image contains some suggestion that it wasn't all about the building materials - after all, the green hedges (leylandii?) have also survived. Is that the effect of external sprinklers?
Or, don't put your stuff on the arXiv, but put it on zenodo. You also get a DOI, and you can just publish the PDF, not the source. You can even restrict access to the PDF, and create share links with access to it.
> GLONASS did not operate until 2005.

> The question was if the EU method of doing project works and it does in very unambiguous manner.

As the EU falls economically and scientifically behinds what used to be our peers, it's obvious that it _doesn't_ work. Refusing to recognise that reality is a spectacular example of the Ostrich effect,
And frankly accuracy does not matter.

for navigation using Code method GPS-tier is basically good enough.

for precise measurement you use phase measurement of the signal, and what you care about is good(low) DoP of constellation and amount of satellites within sight-line - not from which system they come(to oversimplfy it a bit)
Pod on Trustless Building AI Primitives on Solana
In my 10 years in HK, including months worth of weekly language classes, “n” and “l” were treated utterly interchangeably. Not to say that it’s not worth the effort in some contexts to make a distinction, but if the aim is to get a functional understanding of the language the “lazy” version is useful.
If the thinking machine rejects my mortgage application, it should be possible to point out which exact rule triggered the rejection. With rules explicitly set by an operator it's possible. It's also possible to say that the rules in place comply with the law and stay compliant during the operation, for example it doesn't unintentionally guess that I'm having another citizenship based on my surname or postal code.
Documenting also helps your own engineers understand that there are limitations. The back-end team might understand that there's a 1TB limit. If the front-end team doesn't, they could cost you a tonne of bandwidth uploading 99% of a 1.001TB file to the server before it gets rejected.

Billionaires do not literally have big rooms full of money, like a common Disney duck-plutocrat. In general, no-one much is holding large amounts of _cash_/cash-equivalent, except to some extent for the likes of insurance companies, who are obliged to do it for risk management reasons.
That's a 4-base number system. Next in progression is WorseChunkRecord, then you have BadWorseChunkRecord and so on to WorseWorseWorseChunkRecord, when you finally get to HorribleChunkRecord.
I'm afriad not, I bought a load of esp32 cams with out the external antenna - hit a problem with the frame rate and fixed it from the advice from the link

But those thefts will quickly stop once people realise that you do it once - and you are out. That's the whole goal. Law enforcement is now toothless because just shooting hundreds of thousands per year is politically a no-no, and imprisoning them for any meaningful terms is too expensive. People complaining on "catch and release" don't get it - there's simply not yet a way to do much else.

Saw those youtube videos where a dude sells stolen shit in the street and when confronted by a reporter, asks blatantly - "so... are they going to jail us... ALL?". And he has a point. It's not possible. That's why they are free doing it. For now.
Actually, @probably_wrong was actually right above. It took a while, but I found Bentley 1986 Programming Pearls Column 13 describes Kernighan & Plaugher 1981 as describing the original v6 spell in more detail as indeed the smart merge technique:

concat ..|translit A-Z a-z|translit ^a-z @n|sort|unique|common -2 wds

For the curious, in modern parlance that Unix v6 spell is:

tr A-Z a-z | tr -c a-z \\n | sort -u | comm -2 -3 - someDict

So, A) mea culpa & this corrects the record and B) my measurements above suggest that @Paul_Houle's delta encoding idea alone would have given ~4X IO scan reduction on unabridged with no word stemming accuracy trade-offs. { Delta coding is, of course, combinable with word stemming in the same way as McIlroy's ideas since "notIn" is just a set operator. You just would have needed to sort -u after stemming.. maybe a stem.c to replace the two trs. } So, I still don't think you needed large Random Access Memory.
Yeah, that’s true. We invest in a lot of things, hoping for future value. But I guess I still treat those differently. I only hold enough USD for upcoming purchases. And I struggle to understand how investing in my marriage is speculative. For a variety of reasons I can’t (or wouldn’t want to) manage that risk like I would in normal speculative investment. I can’t hedge, size up, size down.

So I think I’m missing something. I feel like you’re suggesting that we should be more comfortable speculating because we do it all the time, but I’m not seeing how those are all the same.

All the RTL basically. It’s in a directory called gen_rtl (generated RTL?) and has remarkably few comments for such a complex code base.

Also although technically it's open source if it's generated verilog then isn't that a lot less useful than the code that was used to generate the rtl?
It works great!

sadly the results are way behind it's peers, but method is great!
