Second Foundation | Python Developer | Prague (prefer) ONSITE

We’re hiring across our Python teams to build the infrastructure for predicting the future of energy markets.

https://www.second-foundation.eu/position/python-developer

We have other roles as well, for Quants, Traders and Kotlin developers.
Thatcherism is shortermism manifest. It's the same attitude that plagues the corporate world - focusing on next Quarter profits rather than the next 20 years. It leaves nothing left at the end but a broken state and more billionaires than we ever had medieval kings, while the rest of us slide back into Dickensian poverty, be you doctor, engineer, soldier, or social worker. We traded state wealth (sold off massive amounts of passive income generating assets like housing and utilities) for short term economic GDP growth in the 90s and early 00s, and now we brunt the cost of it because our passive income has gone. The Tories were more worried about re-election than they were keeping the middle class alive.

Our utilities and infrastructure are now drain us for every penny we're worth, and guess what? They're largely owned by other countries now. Our train networks, our energy companies, our communications, and so on, go to pay the French/Chinese/Scandinavian/etc government's. Somehow other countries manage to make profit on state asset; something which Thatcher never had the capacity to do. That's not considering the private industry, which makes £MM in profit, pocketing it instead of reinvesting it in the state which is the primary mandate of public ownership. Individuals abroad or in the 0.1% profit make money from our state, while the rest of the country withers.

Lmao, this is the dumbest conspiracy theory I’ve read in a while. National politicians are afraid of being murdered by the Mafia on Trump’s orders? Good grief.

Even if you put the absurdity of that kind of thing aside, look at the actual facts. Trump burns through advisors and cabinet members on a nearly weekly basis, and many of those have gone on to become scathing critics of his. He has tons of vocal enemies from within the Republican Party, who are quickly sidelined or ousted but never harmed.

The reason Republicans have all fallen in line behind Trump is because they ultimately want nothing more than power and wealth. Once it became clear that Trump has tapped into an indestructible movement of American populist stupidity that isn’t going anywhere, anyone who wanted to have a job in Republican politics quickly figured out that there was only one way to do so: join the never ending Trump pep-rally.
Trump no doubt will say this is a negotiating ploy to get Zelensky to make concessions but you have to wonder why all the concessions have to be made by the victim and not the aggressor. Why not ask Putin to pause killing Ukranians or return some of the kidnapped children or some token of goodwill?
Just so there isn't any doubt: I dismiss your initial theory that somehow the response to the Corona virus is a violation of anyone's bodily autonomy.

My whole thread here was about trying to understand your reasoning, and perhaps make you understand mine, but instead of helping me you refuse to engage in good faith so I'll stop here.
ARC-AGI without pretraining
The demo looked sharp but I am curious if you have done any formal evaluation of the quality of the results? For example, MRR and recall@k, even on a toy dataset? Seems like the quality of the generated responses will be highly dependent on the docs which are retrieved.
I might be missing something here: What sidebar are you talking about? I don't know if one of my extensions is blocking something native to HN or what.

Yeah, but getting these structures into space is 99% of the challenge. Best to build them there to begin with.
Paul Atreides actions really are never acceptabl\y justified because the later books basically show them to be unjustified. Or at least contradictory. It's a bit confused, but he is shown to be a brutal genocidal dictator, and his son even more so... Paul even alludes to Hitler at one point... It's just that Herbert makes them the protagonist and makes it confusing for the reader how sympathetic they should be.

And we basically just have to take Leto II's word at face value that he was preventing humanity's extinction, but...

By the time of Heretics, Herbert was basically coming right out and saying that prescience in fact alters the timeline rather than "just" predicts it. Which is kind of crazy if you think of two things:

1) Every Guild Navigator using the spice induced prescience to plan and fold space is altering reality

2) Spice comes from an alien being. The only aliens in the Dune universe.

(disclaimer: I don't count Brian Herbert's books & and whatever might be in there... what I read of those made me not want to read more)
But if that class is thrown again and again it is less useful which I see in a lot of codebases.

The go equivalent is "catch the exception when it happens here"

A debugger feature for that would be nice. I guess it is a debugger concern not an exceptions issue per se.
I don't see it as that singular. Either

(1) hep-th had too many people chasing too few problems back then, or

(2) "scalar field with a mexican hat potential" is one of the simplest field theories you can write though it inspires all sorts of ideas like the Higgs Mechanism, Inflation, etc.
You don’t understand how the ‘bonkers’ cost of creative worker relates to businesses that make creative products?
Per capita income? Percentage of people with education/clean running water/out of poverty? Things that actually matter to the daily lives of people?

Yes, China has lifted millions of people out of poverty over the last few decades, but the median person in China is still vastly worse off than the median person in Taiwan.
Guess: headache from low frame rate?
It wasn't then nor now a legitimate parliament. Please refer to the 2014 Victoria Nuland phone leaks to see for yourself how the United States chooses who is a member of the Ukrainian government.

Cointerintuitively we need to build the base model before we can do the advanced production stuff that’s most useful to existing pro musicians.
Only time will tell if those Trump voters end up being ok with the inevitable cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. If that comes to pass, I expect some bipartisan screeching.
If I understand correctly, they are indexing all of the docs together rather than relying on the agent to retrieve them.
Maritime shipping software | Full stack engineers | Global REMOTE | $90k

We're hiring for multiple software engineers to help tackle one of the most important sectors for the global economy: maritime shipping.

Nearly every person is affected by stuff shipping on the seas - whether its energy, ore, or wind turbines, but the industry itself is antiquated and archaic, and hampered by paperwork and bureaucracy. Our customers are crying out for better solutions. We're looking for people to help us build those solutions.

If you're the sort of person who is
- intellectually curious about new industries
- wanting talking to and getting close to end users
- keen to use LLMs and other AI tools
- proficient in functional programming
- biased towards shipping software

Then please get in touch.

Our tech stack for new projects is largely typescript/vue/mysql (we have several fans of fp-ts and EffectT with us and would like some more). But like the industry at large we also have significant legacy code in javascript. If you're the sort of person who likes refactoring complex projects to make them more workable, then we also want to hear from you.

We hire remotely and globally with offices in Houston, London, Singapore, and Joinville (Brasil). You should be fluent in English. The current team is >20 people.

Interested? You can contact me directly from my profile. I'm the CTO.

Please, no recruiters or agencies.
France and China signed separate, individual agreements.

The UK and France have clearly followed (and exceeded, via direct military aid it does not require) the requirements of the memorandum.

I can't find the text of China's agreement.

Right, and if US made a deal with Russia to cease their support for Iran, then they become much more vulnerable to an attack by Israel and US.

Frankly, with both percents and dollars, we say "One-hundred dollars/percent," so putting the symbol at the front is counterintuitive to how we speak.
Adaptive UIs: the future of app design
I wrote about Adaptive UIs (Interfaces that adapt to your needs with generative AI). The article includes details about which contexts can be used by systems to adapt, how well-known UI components can be used for generative adaptation, and some examples of this emerging pattern.
Life is still life, pain(not only death) caused needlessly whether windmills or in factory farms is still cruel. Birds are intelligent, curious, emotional, they are social animals and get depressed.

Other attributes the bird may have (wild/bred) or species (rare/common) has no bearing on the pain and kind of death they suffer. The importance of those attributes is lens we see from, it does not change their suffering.

> People who have no problem with eating meat will still not find it OK to kill a pet pig

It doesn't make it acceptable to view life raised for food[2] as a lesser (therefore ok to be tortured) than other life because they are pets, merely because it is common practice.

How is it different than valuing human life was valued differently in age of slavery or even today if you say correlate level of aid, support, news coverage or empathy to simple numbers on human conflict impact[1].

[1] https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/deaths-in-armed-conflicts...

[2] The argument here is not becoming vegetarian, it is about not torturing needlessly what we need to eat. The human equivalent is akin to not following Geneva conventions in a war not abolish war altogether, while ideal everyone agrees is not practical today.
The sex stuff is a bit weird and cringe, but they're still great books. I just re-read Heretics again as I'm making my way through the whole series again and frankly in many ways it's the best book of the series if you can get past the weird sex stuff.

There's plenty in there still about prescience.
> Ethics are reached via consensus.

Absolutely not! This is cultural relativism, and frankly, it would be circular: how exactly are we converging on a consensus if not from some preexisting sense of the good?

The only defensible objective basis for the good is the nature of a thing and what actualizes the potentials determined by that nature, thus actualizing the thing as the kind of thing it is. Morality, only possible for things that have the capacity to comprehend their options for action (intellect) and choose freely among them (will) on the basis of that understanding, therefore concerns the question of whether an act performed by a thing furthers or frustrates the actualization of that thing.

By cutting off my arm for no proportionate reason, I do an immoral thing, because it is my nature to have that arm, but if I have gangrene in that arm that threatens my life, then removing the gangrene with the undesirable side effect of losing an arm is morally justifiable, even if the loss of the arm is not good per se.

Murdering a human being is gravely immoral, because it directly contradicts my nature as a social human being in a very profound and profoundly self-destructive way. However, killing a would-be murderer in defense of my life or that of another is a morally very good deed; it is in accord with my social nature, and indeed can be said to actualize it more fully in some respect.

> The rest of us derive our principles from functioning mammalian emotional circuits

Please refrain from making such silly pseudoscientific and pseudophilosophical statements.

That being said, calculation is insufficient, because such calculation is formal: it explicitly excludes the conceptual content of propositions. But concepts are the material "carriers" of comprehension of what things are. We can also analyze concepts. Now, we can say that we can calculate a formal deduction according to formal rules, but we cannot calculate a concept or its analytical products. This is the produce of abstraction from concreta. Formal systems abstract from these. They are blind to conceptual content, on purpose. And having used a formalism to derive a conclusion, we must interpret the result, that is, we must reassign concepts to symbols that stand in for them. So formal systems are useful tools, but they are tools.

Your ideal doesn't scale. You want the luxuries of modern society without having to fund the bureaucracy and the overhead that comes with it. Your idealized homesteading way of life is incompatible with the existence of cell phones and computers, which are the result of a highly modernized society that does require a large government to function.

Militias don't protect against invading armies. If you want to protect against an army, you need to fund an army.
Everyone wants to think there is always a "pragmatic" reason. It helps to think that there is always a rational cause for everything, every decision that is made. And we map cynicism about our own politicians onto everyone else, thinking that surely they don't mean what they say either.

There's not always a rational reason. Ideology and nationalism are real things. World leaders do not always act in "rational" ways, nor are they always playing 4D chess.
If they couldn't have kept them, why were they asked?
Every step you take, every call you make: distributed apps observability
I'm not massively knowledgable about the ins and outs of DeepSeek, but I think I'm in the right place to ask. My understanding is DeepSeek:

- Created comparable LLM performance for a fraction of the cost of OpenAI using more off-the-shelf hardware.

- Seem to be open sourcing lots of distributed stuff.

My question is, are those two things related? Did distributed computing allow the AI model somehow? If so how? Or is it not that simple?

You also have to wonder why Vance was less bothered by Putin not continually saying "please" as he was by Zelenskyy not continually saying "thank you".
What IP? The copyright office has ruled there is no copyright for prompts (instructions) or for the prompts output.

Anything built by AI essentially has zero ip and can be copied and remixed without attribution.

All source code output by AI is also incompatible with all the popular open source licenses such as the gpl. Because they all use copyright as the tool to enforce the license rules.
David Wong hasn't been at NCC Cryptography for a long time, so I assume we'll be waiting a long time before we get to Linear and Differential cryptanalysis, but if that's a thing you're interested in, what you want is the Heys tutorial:

http://www.cs.bc.edu/~straubin/crypto2017/heys.pdf

My recommendation: print it out to a PDF with huge margins so you can make notes, and then work through all the worked examples.
Wouldn't that just accelerate Europe's transition to EVs? They could even import Chinese EVs to make oil mostly irrelevant in a year or so.
In general, you can always visit the local CCC chapters. They usually have always an open for guests day per week that you can go to meet them. If you're in Berlin, gotta visit the C-Base, the original spaceship :D

The best explanation for people who obsess over 'Saddam has WMDs' is that they were gullible enough, at the time, to believe it.

On a related note, a lot of the morons who gave GWB a second term seem to be populists now. They would be more helpful to America if they stopped trying to understand the world around them, and instead just voluntarily stopped voting.
I think you're envisioning this in a pessimistic way.

I totally agree that the end conclusion "this statement is fallacious" is pretty useless. But I assume that a working process would also yield the chain of judgements (A is right, B is right, C is wrong, etc). I think that would be VERY useful.

People who become captured by propaganda and lies generally are not sold on 100% of the propaganda. There are certain elements they care more about and others they can ignore. A way to deprogram people through conversation is to just ask them to explain things about their views and ask them to reconcile them with reality. The reconciliation is painful for them and that pain keeps people "in" irrational beliefs - but it's also how people find their way out. Once they no longer associate themselves with the conspiracy, they can discard beliefs associated with it...provided they can think through them.

I think being able to automatically decompose a fact check into the elements of what "is true" and "is false" in a statement would be HUGE. An essential tool in helping people escape from information swamps.

Side channels aren't block cipher cryptanalysis. There's some very basic side channel stuff in Cryptopals, but modern side channel analysis is primarily microarchitectural, which is a significant change in focus, and someone should do a standalone resource on that.
It's a service that shows visitors their own address and metadata about it. Seems fair to not want to provide that for free without some advertisement for the paid version or the company?

>that is utopian

So, a useless definition? I'm sure dictators think they run a utopia.

But your defiinition runs counter to my research and readings. Neoliberalism often refers to this blend of liberal social policies but capitalistic-centric economic policies. Being small isn't inherent to neoliberalism.

Grovers algorithm can brute-force a 128-bit symmetric cryptographic key in roughly 2^64 iterations (on a quantum computer which we likely have in 50 years), instead of 2^128. Now, lets find another attack vector (maybe with the help of AI) that reduces the 64 a bit and you are in the realm of feasibility.
