| archels | kanzure: this is true, but the electric fields generated by placing electrodes on the scalp are very very broad, and intersubject variability is very large | 01:32 |
|---|---|---|
| archels | apparently the retinal cells are stimulated at the lowest thresholds, causing phosphenes. Then when you turn the current up (going above ~1 mA), you start to excite cortical areas | 01:33 |

| ThomasEgi | Burninate, given the news of recently found mamoot blood in syberia.. ;) | 06:45 |
| Burninate | I'm left to understand that mammoth blood and ancient DNA in general is still an open problem. Sequencing is not cloning, and sequencing mammoth blood is only borderline possible. | 06:47 |

| kanzure | -m is not a good way to parse collections of papers | 07:37 |
| kanzure | it just crawls things and then you have no guarantees about self-consistency, percent collected, metadata/pdf linking, etc. | 07:38 |

| jonathan__ | there's a great audio interview with steve jobs on the web somewhere where he steadfastly claims that "great programmers are 25x more productive than average or poor programmers. In hardware this ratio is 2x maybe 3x. in software it is more like 25x." | 08:50 |
| kanzure | jonathan__: yes. i sort of don't like their insistence on using the word "freelancing". that's for poor people. | 08:50 |
| kanzure | jonathan__: i dunno, i've seen some crazy hardware people. in hardware, it's not unreasonable for a single person to design an architecture, get it on an asic, write compilers targeting his architecture, port linux, and debug stupid IEEE 7101.33 math errors. | 08:51 |
| jonathan__ | maybe the real biz is in creating a recruiting company. its just a sorting process of people. | 08:51 |
| klafka | this is hilarious http://www.crunchbase.com/company/rap-genius | 08:51 |
| kanzure | jonathan__: well, if you think you can do recruiting better, then yes | 08:51 |
| kanzure | jonathan__: like http://developerauction.com/ | 08:51 |
| jonathan__ | i have done recruiting better. I developed a screening process which has very good results and no one else seems to use it, anywhere. in fact even in the face of good results people argue that it shouldn't work. which means it's a great biz. | 08:52 |
| kanzure | well, if that's true, then you should start a recruiting company where you eat your own dog food | 08:52 |
| kanzure | developer auction claims they have a great screening process | 08:52 |
| kanzure | but they totally ignore it when they hire their own people | 08:53 |
| jonathan__ | that's because recruiters can be like robot salesmen. once a process is discovered, it only takes robots to run it, not smart people. | 08:53 |
| kanzure | i don't see how robot salesmen explains their non-dogfooding | 08:54 |
| jonathan__ | like google ad words... deviate from what "works" and the results are lower quality. better to hire poor people who can't/dont think | 08:54 |
| kanzure | adwords is because you don't have information about the market | 08:54 |
| kanzure | you can acquire information through services like mine, or http://whatrunswhere.com/ and friends (for adwords) | 08:54 |
| jonathan__ | ok I'll sign up and see what happens | 08:54 |
| kanzure | on developer auction? | 08:55 |
| jonathan__ | is it worth it? | 08:55 |
| kanzure | well.... | 08:55 |
| kanzure | i wrote up a review, http://developerauctionhacker.pen.io/ | 08:55 |
| -!- kajetan [122@unaffiliated/kmo] has quit [Quit: Leaving] | 08:55 | |
| jonathan__ | interesting | 08:57 |
| kanzure | the summary is: it's a lot of additional effort (on top of a resume /and/ going through each company's hiring pipeline), and you may or may not get offers. i got offers, but i was disappointed to learn that they weren't real offers, and i had put in all that work for absolutely zilch. two highly qualified friends have complained that they got zero offers. | 08:57 |
| kanzure | here's someone who replied to that post i wrote- https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5730843 | 08:58 |
| kanzure | (he has good data too) | 08:58 |
| kanzure | "Their offering to talented developers seems to be somewhat limited. Basically you sign up, spend a while writing out a huge profile (in addition to your resume and public work on github), then they just dump you into the laps of recruiters as part of their normal hiring pipeline. Hey, if I wanted to sit around doing 15 hours of live algorithm screening, I would have just called those companies myself..." | 08:59 |
| kanzure | "This is probably okay for junior developers, but realistically junior developers just need to have a pulse to get hired (and maybe one or two sample projects). As for senior talent, there's few incentives to participate in these antics. Same antics, different names. I got a bunch of offers, but they require a great deal of effort to follow up on everyone and schedule a billion interviews and screens and other things that I am frankly ... | 08:59 |
| kanzure | ... exhausted by." | 08:59 |
| kanzure | "I would love something like a 1-hour guarantee: receive an initial offer to see if the range is what you have in mind, spend exactly one hour talking with a company before receiving an actual truly real sign-on-the-dotted-line offer. I am just frustrated about the marketing I think, I'll feel better in an hour." | 09:00 |
| jonathan__ | hm | 09:00 |
| jonathan__ | i'm not going to work in sf so forget that | 09:01 |
| -!- Urchin[emacs] [~user@unaffiliated/urchin] has joined ##hplusroadmap | 09:01 | |
| kanzure | there were non-sf companies of course | 09:01 |
| kanzure | when i say sf i mean bay area | 09:01 |
| jonathan__ | right | 09:02 |
| kanzure | a friend of mine scraped profile images from developer auction | 09:02 |
| kanzure | and then used reverse image search to find the profiles of these developers | 09:02 |
| kanzure | brownies: ^ | 09:02 |
| jonathan__ | really, now that is interesting | 09:03 |
| -!- Urchin [~urchin@unaffiliated/urchin] has joined ##hplusroadmap | 09:03 | |
| jonathan__ | of course they shouldn't use images on profiles. that's open to bias. | 09:03 |
| jonathan__ | it's a dev job not a sales job. | 09:03 |
| kanzure | correct | 09:04 |
| kanzure | i used no profile image, because i didn't want to have to test an optimal profile pic | 09:04 |
| kanzure | ugh | 09:04 |
| -!- ManaLord [~ManaLord@c-b3b9e455.37-0081-74657210.cust.bredbandsbolaget.se] has joined ##hplusroadmap | 09:05 | |
| jonathan__ | you had to list your name though, didnt you | 09:05 |
| kanzure | true | 09:05 |
| kanzure | there's actually another one where you don't have to do that | 09:05 |
| jonathan__ | put up a profile as "muralanti ramachandranamathan" and see what happens | 09:06 |
| kanzure | https://www.whitetruffle.com/ ? | 09:06 |
| kanzure | yeah that one | 09:06 |
| brownies | "Stephen Hawking" | 09:09 |
| kanzure | ? | 09:09 |
| brownies | "But you can call me Steve." | 09:09 |
| kanzure | ah | 09:10 |
| brownies | just saying... if you didn't have to put up a real name... heh. | 09:10 |
| jonathan__ | the idea is that cultural bias should be eliminated from the recruiting process | 09:10 |
| jonathan__ | if I can type fluent english and write 200 page software specs then that is enough | 09:10 |
| kanzure | actually, interviewers are commonly filtering you based on "cultural fit" | 09:10 |
| jonathan__ | not that I have an american name | 09:10 |
| brownies | "cultural fit" is the fallback reason | 09:11 |
| jonathan__ | yes but that's all a cover | 09:11 |
| brownies | it translates to "we don't like you, and we're not going to tell you why" | 09:11 |
| kanzure | and most of these places don't even want 200 pages of specifications | 09:11 |
| kanzure | or any specifications :( | 09:11 |
| kanzure | :sob: | 09:11 |
| jonathan__ | what it really means is this: I want someone who can write and talk effectively without a crazy non-english accent and bizarre behavioral problems due to their culture or religion | 09:11 |
| kanzure | no, that's not what "cultural fit" means | 09:12 |
| jonathan__ | plenty of white guys don't meet that criteria either | 09:12 |
| kanzure | "cultural fit" means stuff like... "this guy sounds boring" | 09:12 |
| brownies | you guys and your inability to translate corporate-speak are adorable :) | 09:12 |
| jonathan__ | often 'cultural fit' means "he will be a Yes Man" | 09:12 |
| kanzure | or "this guy doesn't seem like the type to participate in a nerf gun battle" | 09:12 |
| kanzure | brownies: will you buy me one? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pharmacia-Biotech-OligoProcess-System-DNA-Synthesizer-LINEAR-FLOW-THROUGH-/160922045880?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2577b38db8 | 09:13 |
| jonathan__ | the idea of truly good recruiting is to find good people, not find people subject to the bias of the organization | 09:13 |
| jonathan__ | "Free lunch delivered daily and free dinner if you work nights. Also: epic, epic snacks." | 09:18 |
| jonathan__ | what was that you guys were saying before about working only 8 hrs... oh there's dinner involved now | 09:18 |
| jonathan__ | wth are "epic snacks" | 09:18 |
| jonathan__ | engineers are supposed to type not eat chips | 09:18 |
| nmz787_ | jonathan__: so the photonic fence seems to rely on the retroreflector and imager placed at the center/back of that (i believe) | 09:19 |
| jonathan__ | "Skiing, ping pong, shooting ranges, box seats at baseball and hockey games, LAN parties, and hackathons. We're especially proud of our very own jam room." .. wth get to work already stop playing | 09:19 |
| nmz787_ | and assuming the laser is at that same point, no math would be needed to aim the laser | 09:19 |
| jonathan__ | yes photonic fence is a fancy way of saying it's like that xbox thing but with infrared | 09:19 |
| nmz787_ | but I guess you couldn't have the laser and imager coincident | 09:19 |
| jonathan__ | time for me to go to the office | 09:20 |
| nmz787_ | so actually you might need to do some triangulation or something | 09:20 |
| brownies | jonathan__: where are you quoting this shit from? | 09:22 |
| brownies | kanzure: only 65K? can i ride around in it? | 09:22 |
| nmz787_ | brownies: looks like it has casters | 09:22 |
| nmz787_ | new soapbox racer! | 09:22 |

| strangewarp | destroy the eco-radicals! they care about fish and hate weddings!! or something | 14:10 |
| eudoxia | i don't think i've ever read anything from one of those tech news sites | 14:12 |
| eudoxia | >These reactions were so extreme, so maniacal, so deeply drenched in expletives, they seemed wasted on us; this was the sort of angry invective normally reserved for genocidal dictators. | 14:13 |
| eudoxia | oh, buck up | 14:13 |
| kanzure | why are you reading techcrunch in the first place? | 14:14 |
| eudoxia | yeah klafka go work on something moderately h+ related | 14:15 |

| klafka | to be fair | 14:15 |
| klafka | i didn't read it | 14:15 |

| jonathan__ | how come everyone is disrupting. doesnt anyone want to evolve. | 20:20 |
| yashgaroth | now hiring disruption hackers | 20:21 |
| kanzure | anyone have some btc i can partake in? | 20:22 |
| kanzure | yashgaroth: the new term is "growth hacker" or "solutions hacker" | 20:22 |
| yashgaroth | I decoded growth hacking to marketing, solutions is more nebulous | 20:23 |
| jonathan__ | I dont understand the meaning of half of these job postings | 20:23 |
| jonathan__ | since when did programming become "rock star" etc | 20:23 |
| kanzure | since nobody could find anyone to hire | 20:23 |
| kanzure | and now they have to get people just graduating from college | 20:24 |
| kanzure | so they have to lay it on thick | 20:24 |
| jonathan__ | what is a "full stack engineer" ? | 20:24 |
| jonathan__ | geez back in the day, hackers were "bad" | 20:25 |
| kanzure | "full stack" usually means something hilariously non-full, like "front-end html/css/javascript, plus immediate backend stuff, plus other backend things, possibly including postgresql or cassandra or hadoop stuff" | 20:25 |
| jonathan__ | it would be so much simpler if they just listed what they actually use | 20:25 |
| kanzure | they don't actually mean the "full stack" (which i think would go down through the layers of os kernel, cpu architecture, etc.) | 20:25 |
| jonathan__ | library x, y, z | 20:25 |
| yashgaroth | aww I thought it was 'we keep getting stack overflows please help' | 20:25 |
| abetusk | "rock star" translation: "underpaid developer" | 20:25 |
| kanzure | rock star is not always underpaid | 20:25 |
| jonathan__ | "We're looking for a smart, creative hacker. We are partnering with universities like Purdue, NYU and Caltech to disrupt the $6B/year tutoring market. " | 20:26 |
| jonathan__ | see, everyone wants to disrupt | 20:26 |
| jonathan__ | what kind of misfit employees do they already have, that are all anarchists etc | 20:26 |
| kanzure | is that tutorspree? | 20:27 |
| jonathan__ | it's not freshman year of high school for godsakes | 20:27 |
| kanzure | there's actually not that many tutoring startups i think | 20:27 |
| kanzure | tutortree? | 20:27 |
| kanzure | tutorwanker? | 20:27 |
| jonathan__ | "YC Ed Tech Startup in the Bay Area" | 20:27 |
| kanzure | might be brownies | 20:28 |
| jonathan__ | I didnt even know there was a tutoring market. I once asked college admissions if I could get a tutor for circuits II and they said "huh?" | 20:28 |
| kanzure | admissions wont know that | 20:28 |
| jonathan__ | I was happily paid as a note taker a couple times, that was fun | 20:29 |
| jonathan__ | one of the guys was somehow learning disabled and had a grant that allowed for a paid note taker | 20:29 |
| jonathan__ | I took super good notes man, beautiful | 20:30 |
| kanzure | did you write all his math in LaTeX | 20:30 |
| jonathan__ | I used one of those plastic drafting thingies to draw the circuits | 20:30 |
| jonathan__ | this was real-time, in class | 20:31 |
| kanzure | sure, my notes were real-time too. but i didn't have the testicular foresight to write everything in LaTeX. this was pre-TeX for me. | 20:32 |
| jonathan__ | hmm not worth it | 20:32 |
| jonathan__ | I later scanned in all my notes | 20:32 |
| jonathan__ | most people throw them all away, right | 20:32 |
| jonathan__ | super cool doodles too | 20:33 |
| jonathan__ | can latex do doodles? maybe not! | 20:33 |
| kanzure | i don't feel qualified to answer that | 20:33 |
| kanzure | gradstudentbot: you write latex, right? | 20:33 |
| gradstudentbot | The paper was rejected. | 20:33 |
| jonathan__ | geez it would be cake to be a student today | 20:34 |
| kanzure | when i was in school, laptops in every class was stigmatized. but now.. | 20:34 |
| jonathan__ | digital textbook, first. second, scan all notes, and notes of all prior classmates, and exams | 20:34 |
| kanzure | unfortunately most textbook publishers are huge assholes and there aren't any digital versions. if you're lucky, maybe you can pirate one or two. | 20:34 |
| jonathan__ | imagine, the entire system is built on security by obscurity of prior years' exams | 20:34 |
| kanzure | not always | 20:35 |
| jonathan__ | I scanned in some textbooks by just buying them, scanning them, returning them. | 20:35 |
| jonathan__ | the old fashioned way. | 20:36 |
| jonathan__ | ran into a guy this afternoon with a music streaming company. he explained the payment model for streaming music via i-app. textbooks should be like that too. | 20:39 |
| kanzure | i-app is what? in-app purchases? | 20:40 |
| jonathan__ | ipad iphone ithing app | 20:40 |
| jonathan__ | music streaming has different royalty models. | 20:40 |
| jonathan__ | "non-interactive play" lets say, is much cheaper (like pandora etc) | 20:41 |
| jonathan__ | can enjoy the current stream or skip ahead. can't go back. most textbook usage is like that. | 20:41 |
| jonathan__ | can't replay more than x times in a row. etc. | 20:41 |

| jonathan__ | juul: any interesting stories? | 21:28 |
| brownies | yes, latex can do drawings | 21:38 |
| brownies | and "kids these days" have most of their textbooks in digital format | 21:39 |
| brownies | at least, the ones that can afford it, and whose schools can afford it, and so on. | 21:39 |
| jonathan__ | did you see LA county school district went 100% ipad and 0% textbook | 21:46 |
| jonathan__ | 30 mil $ | 21:46 |
| brownies | i did not see that, but that is really cool | 21:47 |
| jonathan__ | the quote said "we picked the lowest cost option" lol | 21:48 |
| jonathan__ | textbooks are a scam | 21:49 |
| jonathan__ | the textbook review process for univ's has been shown to be a farce | 21:49 |
