You might want to check with the Julia folks. They now have a company (Julia Computing) backing the project. I don't know if they are hiring right now, and if so, whether you'd be a good fit, but it couldn't hurt to ask. Might be a better alternative to working for MathWorks! Julia is an open source project with many brilliant developers and mathematicians contributing. http://juliacomputing.com/ I don't see a 'jobs…

HN discussionIt's not just about outsourcing compute. There's lots of interesting things you can build on top of an FHE primitive. The linked blog post has the private information retrieval example (the database owner doesn't want to send you the whole database, you don't want the database owner to know what you're looking for). I have a worked example for machine learning here: https://juliacomputing.com/blog/2019/11/22/encrypt…

HN discussionI've read the corresponding paper, and while I think it's a fun read, I'm not sure it does particularly much to clear up the underlying confusion here. Reverse mode AD on straight line primitives is describabable in about three lines of exposition. The tricky part is how do you handle control flow (equivalently recursion). The description thereof then depends on what your underlying IR data structure is, but describ…

HN discussionFor the earliest details, see the press release from our DARPA project: https://juliacomputing.com/media/2021/03/darpa-ditto/ . This is being done in a way where a fully usable software is the result, so that those accelerations are not just a one-off prototype but a product that everyone else can use by the end. For more details, wait until next week's JuliaCon.
