Mingla | Senior Software Engineer (Elixir) | Stockholm, Sweden. REMOTE (EU) might be an option | Full Time

Mingla makes software for gamified networking at physical events. The days when social gatherings were for extroverts are over. Gamified networking elevates your experience to grasp every ounce of lost event potential and removes much of the anxiety some people feel when thrown in a room full of strangers.

We're a strong founding team with several serial entrepreneurs with multiple exits and world renowned brands created. We're looking for a senior engineer to push our Phoenix LiveView app further as we scale up this year (next up is the superbowl this weekend, a lot of interesting stuff already underway). Ideally starting in a few weeks, but it's more important that you are the right person.

We believe you're a person that loves the less structured and and changing landscape of an early company, and if you haven't used Elixir, Phoenix LiveView and Ash before you view that as something fun rather than terrifying.

If this sounds interesting, please reach out to me at chris [at] mingla.io
A bit nitpicky, but I've noticed the same thing, especially in humanities and social science people who ought to know the difference better.

Her point on dropping the ball is interesting, too: I'm a chronic ball dropper for christmas stuff, and mostly manage it by maintaining sane relationships the rest of the time. It would really be quite nice if other people took the same approach, not least because it is increasingly well understood how much people (women) despise this kind of work. Who wants to sit down to an elaborate christmas dinner planned and prepped by someone who clearly doesn't want to do it? A better festive time could be negotiated fairly easily between everyone if the pretence of obligation was dropped. Then maybe the other stuff ends up feeling easier.

No not quite, at least five years ago the model 3 was far superior to competing electric cars and a very comparative price. The whole vibe around it was a bit of a deterrent, not as much as it is now mind you. It was just a better car with better performance and more range, not to mention the one board integration with the supercharger network. The whole Elon aura played a role differently over time.
>People are horrible at understanding statistics.

Yes, but people are also horrible at defining how a person "should feel" about statistics. A ton of statistics are apples and oranges in practice (e.g. falling down stairs vs food poisoning), because humans intrinsically care about more variables than statistics express (which is why we willingly drive cars, for the most obvious example).

It's just not that simple.
I have looked at Sutton, but it doesn't seem very "implementation oriented" to me.

For example: https://futurism.com/the-byte/car-dealership-ai

It didn't actually result in someone getting a new car for $1, but I'd imagine the dealer was still annoyed at people (who don't live close enough to buy a car from them) abusing their chatbot.
> Basically everybody who wants an EV already owns a Tesla

The EV market is not the totality of the auto market. EVs are, in my opinion, better products than gas cars even removing environmental concerns, and thus EVs should be growing market share. Tesla shares were never expected to decline, otherwise their stock wouldn't be trading at such insane multiples. It's entirely at the feet of Tesla management that their sales are declining in CA and in the EU.
I think it just reinforces what has always been true. If you work on a cool new framework, programming language, database, etc. your job doesn't end with coming up with a nice API, a whizzy type system or fancy benchmark numbers. You need to also write tooling like nice CLIs, IDE integration, reference docs, tutorials, high level blog posts and ideally you have a compelling use case you can dog food.
With the latest models and some agentic search integration, vastly diminishes the advantage that the models get from being actually trained on specific content.
It's still a little more difficult if your tech has particularly unique features, but overall it works quite well.

Maintaining your social life indeed takes real work and effort.

This is spot-on. A corollary is that the best way to fight these diseases is by doing "maintenance" early on. But we currently don't have good enough models of all those multiple systems, and a functional, "good" state may vary significantly from individual to individual. Yet, those computational models could, in due time, save lives.

Be as it may, I don't believe we can create those models manually, one by one. It's just too complicated and costly, and as this article shows, prone to turf politics. The good news is that we are having great advances in molecular simulation, and there are gargantuan investments coming to develop the world's computational capabilities. Furthermore, even the current crop of AI tools is good enough to locate and make information accessible to non-experts. So, if you are looking for a hobby in front of a computer, consider given these computational problems some attention.
It's almost always the case that anyone who thinks something is easy to replicate will realize the product is the marketing, sales, creating/building, delivery, billing, and not just any tech.

Canada is the first test. The way to handle America is to use the only language bullies know: force and strength. Never back down. Never give an inch. If Canada tries to negotiate, it's done. Whatever agreement is reached, America will renege, and Canada will lose.

I've tried a ton of email clients over the years and always end up coming back to Mailspring. Started using ever since it used to be Nylas N1 years ago (which later rebranded to Nylas Mail, then got discontinued and forked into Mailspring).

I actually do think it's the best performing and best looking cross-platform email client, although there are some potential pain points people should probably be aware of:

1. Development has become very stagnant. It's still semi-maintained with small bug fixes every now and then, but it hasn't seen any changes in years. This might also be a good thing depending on how you look at it, it's largely a finished product.

2. There are quite a lot of bugs that have never gotten fixed over the years[1]. I run into these bugs every now and then where e.g. deleting a draft will often also delete the entire thread without you realizing it, leading to unknowingly deleted emails[2]. And sometimes the local sqlite db gets locked/corrupted and you have to reset it[3]. I personally put up with this but I wouldn't expect anyone else to. Especially not non-tech folks. This makes it hard to recommend the app to other people.

3. You're required to have a "Mailspring ID" account to use the app. It doesn't actually do anything useful like synchronize your settings or connected mail accounts. As far as I can tell it's only used to check for a Pro subscription, and probably some telemetry. I don't use any of the Pro features so I can't say how well it works for that. Still required to have it though.

Nonetheless I still use it because no other client seems to have the UI/UX and information density down quite like Mailspring does. And it performs very well even with hundreds of thousands of emails thanks to its C++ sync engine (the UI is Electron, but I'd say it's still pretty snappy, it's one of the better ones). If Gmail ever supports third party IMAP accounts without needing Workspace for it and without needing to have a Gmail address attached to your Google account I would probably just use that instead though.

My favorite client used to use Alto Mail[4], which was a wonderful web and mobile app email client that did support external IMAP accounts. I believe it was created by AOL, but sadly shut down in 2017, shortly after Verizon merged AOL and Yahoo. I've wanted to create a spiritual successor to it ever since, but email standards and HTML email rendering has always seemed like such a massively complicated space. Plus email clients like these are so niche considering that almost everyone simply uses Gmail, Outlook, or their default system mail apps instead that the required effort just doesn't seem worth it. Perhaps I'll still do this someday if I can find the motivation, or maybe I'll try to contribute to Mailspring instead, but for now I just put up with its issues.

> ... LET them use LLMs and see whether they can accomplish 10X what a coder 3 years ago could accomplish...

Do you seriously expect a 10x improvement with the use of LLMs vs no LLMs? Have you seen this personally, are you 1 10th the developer without an LLM? Or is the coding interview questions you ask or get asked, how to implement quicksort, or something?

Let's make it concrete, do you feel like you could implement a correct concurrent http server in 1/10th the time with an LLM than what you could do it without? Because if you jut let the LLM do the work I could probably find some issue in that code or alternatively completely stump you with an architectural question unless you are already familiar with it, and you should not be having an LLM implement something you couldn't have written yourself.

That sounds like a great question lol
So, in essence, both the input and the output are read by a LLM that's fine-tuned to censor. If it flags up content, it instructs the core model to refuse. Similar to most AI-based moderation systems. It's a bit more complicated as there's one LLM for inputs and another one for outputs, but it's not really a groundbreaking idea.

> The benefits to keeping up this ‘emotional tone road show’ as Hochschild calls it, was obvious to their profit-seeking corporate employers. But the costs to the employees themselves were more hidden. Their emotional labour, according to Hochschild, was leaving employees dangerously alienated from their own feelings and perilously at risk of burn out. In the early 1980s, Hochschild estimated that a third of jobs made ‘substantial demands for emotional labour’; today she thinks that figure is more like half. Perhaps the most notorious example recently is the ‘enforced happiness’ at coffee chain Pret A Manger, which requires its servers to have rapport with one another, and enthusiasm for their (low-paid) jobs.

I don't get this. What's the alternative? A customer service job where you can be rude? There are cultural norms which we all have to obey in a workplace. The classic example is don't talk about politics or religion. Others include don't be rude, don't heat up smelly food in the microwave, keep a clean workspace, don't yell or put people down, don't make unwarranted advances to coworkers, etc. Just control your emotions regardless of where you're working.

I admit that the extra work around house maintenance usually born by women (e.g. birthdays, keeping stock of things, etc) is difficult and goes unappreciated. But I don't think extending that to "I must control my emotions in the workplace" is right.

I read the Da Vinci Code very quickly and I enjoyed it. But a different kind of enjoyment, I realized afterwards I basically just read a movie. Very little internal monologue, or some other kind of description that other novels would have, something like that, was a long time ago.
It's not a math exercise. The author poses a question that is in the realm of psychology or neuropsychology or something like that, and then jumps straight into solving it with pure math, picking premises out from thin air.

The premises are obviously wrong, like assuming an infinitely long lived person, which means the answers arrived at will have no correlation with anything factual. You can't fix that with any sort of refinement. To be refinable would require it to be coarsely correct to begin with.
Relax, it's not an AI. Instead, you were replaced by a depth first search algo.
This is a great and very interesting write-up. It has never occurred to me that there might be algorithms applicable to calendars.

It strikes me that the Gregorian calendar might encode some of the most calcified tech debt of humanity. It attempts to fit solar, lunar, and 7-day religious-oriented cycles (and who knows what else?) into one system. So many cultural and religious touchstones are oriented around the (month, day) tuple. For extra confusion add the asymmetry between cultures who place traditions on the lunar calendar. Let's not mention timezones. A big thanks to you keepers of time (libraries).

Deciding that time began with Unix and that it should simply count forward seems rather sane by comparison.

I accept this valid criticism of "posers" but I'd like to add that there's a strange loop here. It feels alien to me, but lots of people I know like to watch videos of themselves doing things (e.g. choreographed dances). It certainly does help to see how to improve, but also they get satisfaction from seeing themselves do the thing.
