Seldn, inc - Warning None standard offer: Creative Sabbatical in Maui, Hawaii
We have decided to sponsor a creative sabbatical for a front end developer or data scientist to come work on our AI startup (= Seldn) for this period. Seldn will sponsor airfare (from the US) and stay in return for their spirited help at Seldn, intellectual company & commitment to enjoying Hawaii/life. That's it -- no catch. We'd be open to opportunities for them to continue working with us after that but no commitment required.
Please pass this opportunity on to the coolest front-end Developers/Data scientists you know!

Creative Sabbatical: Data Scientist/ Developer? Come work on an AI startup in Hawaii
About Us: Seldn is an Artificial Intelligence (AI) that can automatically predict global macro risks. Our core technology uses complexity-physics inspired machine learning algorithms and Big Data to provide a SaaS platform geared toward predicting political, financial and social macro risks – think economic crashes, labor strikes, riots, etc.
Very neat stuff and definitely ambitious. Our first focus is enterprise s/w catered toward supply chain disruptions. We are a very early stage stealth startup, normally based in Palo Alto, CA.
Sabbatical: Seldn is sponsoring a creative sabbatical for a data scientist and a front-end developer to come spend the summer Hawaii working with us on our meaningful world-changing AI platform.
Dates: July 10 – Aug 27, 2015 (negotiable but minimum 5 weeks)
Location: Maui, Hawaii.
What’s covered: Roundtrip Airfare (from US) & stay.
Commitment: Spirited help at Seldn, shared responsibilities at the community house and enjoying Hawaii.
Eligibility: Limited spots open for
1. Super smart data scientist with experience in data wrangling, algorithm development, machine learning, python, cloud deployment
2. Front end developer with production experience in HTML5, CSS, at least one JavaScript framework (Angular/Backbone/Ember) and building next-gen enterprise SaaS products. More details on our ideal dev.
To Apply: Email radhika@seldn.com with: 1. your resume 2. brief description on why we should pick you and 3. a superpower you wish you had
That's it -- no catch. This could turn into a long-term career opportunities at Seldn, but no commitment required.
In addition to doing free work you also get "shared responsibilities at the community house". These guys weren't joking when they said "non-standard offer" hahaha.
"Using data provided by the U.S. Census Bureau, the ACLU has determined that nearly 2/3 of the entire US population (197.4 million people) live within 100 miles of the US land and coastal borders."
I think the author may have misunderstood the claim. Intel was probably referring literally to low power computing (what happens inside Intel's chips) not to low power any-thing-you-can-do-with-a-computer(display, communicate with others, etc). In other words the processor.
Nearly all the power and heat problems in processors has to do with impedance mismatches between materials in the circuit. It's been about 5 years since I went to a conference called Beyond Moore's Law, but I remember a brilliant talk on a 5-6 order of magnitude decrease in power that is possible though impedance matching. (I couldn't find a link online, sorry!)
I suspect (rather arrogantly, since I have not seen intel's article directly) that this is what Intel was talking about.
This has been driving me insane lately. Every site I follow a link to gives me an app splash page. What is particularly frustrating is that usually its a complete waste of both of our time since I already have the app. LinkedIn in particular drives me nuts with this.
I think you'll find that this is not a useful way of thinking. There is always something else you could try and account for. To save your thinking until you can account for everything simply results in no thinking. It's far better to fully understand the simplest model possible and add complication as nessisary, than to start with the hardest system. That is how science moves forward.
Sure. But the simplest model for creatures evolving must include statistical behavior. Every decision is not driving evolution - its a series over (life)time, with lots of noise in the result. E.g. If sometimes behaving selfishly works well and sometimes it doesn't, likewise altruism, the statistics will drive evolution, not the logic of the situation.
In the end the Markov chain of of event-decision-state change will favor those decisions (genes) that avoid the early-death state and favor the lots-of-reproduction states.
If I understand the article correctly the argument is that ZD strategies don't do well against each other, so they can never dominate a population. Therefore they will not exist evolutionarily.
I don think that conclusion follows. I would expect the strategy to wax and wane around an equilibrium in which the proportion of other ZD players drops the value of the strategy to that of other good strategies. It's similar to many investing strategies that work well when a few people are using them but not when everyone is. These strategies never die, they oscillate from feast to famine.
I doubt this is as big a problem as you think. If you have any interbreeding at all the general conclusion holds. I would guess that even extremly low estimates of interbreeding rates wouldn't change the result much.
