Really missing the forests for the trees, here. It's clear that there are under-represented groups at CoinBase that are routinely discriminated. It is unthinkable to me for HN readers to defend that, but here we are regardless. Maybe I

>CB is a really great company for any curious nerd to join. Not if they're black or brown, apparently. I have no idea how you could say this is a 'great' company after reading this article. Like my mind is actually blown.

Jane Street's interview was one of the funnest I've ever done. I failed but the questions were great!

Huh, that's weird. Maybe they're A/B testing this feature. I've had it for a few months.

This is incredibly dramatic. Buy her some drawing and art apps. Lean into the TikTok thing and find her a local dance or drama troupe. This is what we did with my younger sister, who is the same age. Instead of painting on a canvas, she pai

The audience, formality, and domain expertise settings definitely work. And the tone settings do actually give feedback on the lower-right-hand side of the text input box in the form of emojis (albeit still experimental).

I was split between Hemingway and Grammarly and ended up choosing in Grammarly. Hemingway, IMO, makes your writing clear, but it also makes it incredibly boring. Grammarly has modular settings for formality, tone, friendliness, etc which le

I... disagree? Hard numbers showing high rates of these interactions would be a systemic thread. The loudest voices on the Internet, not so much.

I also balked at it until my credit card gave me free delivery and only 5% fees. The final cost is cost of food + 1 dollar + tip to the driver (which I'm perfectly OK with!). This comes out to a real marginal difference of about 4-6$,

I know it's not Microsoft, but D. E. Shaw asked Larry Summers math puzzles when he interviewed there. At the time, he was the president of Harvard University. I think it's my favorite example of how crazy some interview processes

Biden's loss with hispanics was due to his campaign's explicit choice to not target hispanics. It has more to do with bad strategy than what another candidate said or did.

Sure, but it's pretty clear that certain candidates get more backing from the DNC mothership and the media than others. In turn, this affects voter perception.

If Biden is alive in 2024, I could absolutely see the Democratic party running him as a candidate and losing.

Something I've learned over time is that sometimes it's OK to let people be curious and amazed. The world and science would be far too boring if we were cynical about _all_ of it _all_ the time.

Because most "AI engineering" has lost its meaning and is actually data analysis.

That's unfortunate, because the resolution and fine control you get with optogenetics are really good in the periphery, offering high therapeutic potential for amputees and paraplegics. The main roadblock is the understudied immunogeni

Oh snap, I didn't notice the animal model changed. Thanks for the heads up and rundown!

Any thoughts on the immunogenicity of optogenetic approaches? Anecdotally, it was a major pain when working with optogenetic stimulation in the PNS.

I haven't read this bioRxiv paper, but what's the difference between it and this Cell paper from 2017? https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28575667/

I don't know much about far infrared, but the 6-7mm penetration in this paper seems deeper than the ~4mm penetration I recall reading about for UCNP-NIR.
