Willing to relocate: Happy to occasionally visit an office somewhere in the world
Technologies:
Native code, on embedded systems, especially Apple platforms (C/Obj-C/Swift).
Latency-sensitive systems that exercise local inference (CoreML/MPS), including LLMs, and imaging (CoreVideo/Metal).
Less recently, device drivers (Windows & Linux) and firmware (PIC/MIPS).
I only read the paper (and the code in the paper) but not the complete source code, so maybe this would become clearer if I had, but...
Does Rust fundamentally guarantee that if you make a struct, its fields will lay out in memory in the order that you defined them? Can it be used to interact with APIs (really ABIs) who expect a C struct (or pointer to one)?
I think my main frustration with stuff like Go and Swift in this case is that their structs are not binary-compatible with C structs in this way because they rearrange things to be better aligned/packed/whatever.
rstp-simple-server is fantastic, I use it for all kinds of stuff and appreciate how easy it is to deploy. More software should eschew having a million dependencies and focus on doing one thing WELL :)
What I wonder is, what role does talent play in this transition? I am a hacker by trade but am always thinking about how to "break in" as an actor and be in movies and on television. A myriad of other challenges (including finding the time to compete with a large talent pool) aside, one thing that I realize again and again is that participating in traditional media means supporting and receiving a paycheck from precisely the companies that fund bills like SOPA and think of their customers as "eyeballs with wallets".
With the costs of production and distribution ever falling, more and more content is being created outside the traditional media ecosystem. How would I position myself (as an actor or set designer, or sound mixer or etc) to take advantage of the coming transition?
Live theater comes to mind as something that might be inline with PG's last paragraph, which suggests more recreational time be spent not looking at screens but engaging with other people.
Remote: Strongly preferred
