These all sound like a lot of fun. I've built a few discord bots myself as I've run a few online communities.

1) Reminder bot for scheduled events.

We're all working adults who all played games as teens together . To actually get us together, we schedule our favorite games for once a month to play for a few hours. We all often forget when they start, so my bot posts a 2 week, 1 week 3 days, and 2 hour notice.

2) RCON bot I run a TF2 server and a Minecraft server. You can manage both via RCON commands via slash commands in Discord. Also the tf2 one monitors player activity and alerts if players are in the server

3. Private server API bot

I founded a private game server for a game that ended service in 2023. The bot reads from our API to make a central list of lobbies and status. It also creates voice channels for each public lobby.

It's also used to help grant items and other admin commands.

4. For April Fools, I made a snarky bot that responded to random messages. It was backed by Gemini.

These have all been fun and novel to make but I've never found a great way to productize them and make money from any of them. Wonder if you've found any avenues there.

I think you spoke directly to the room's elephant. The topic is contentious because it is less than zero sum. It isn't even that the pie cannot be grown larger, but some people have already eaten most of it and must continue to eat as more people decide they also want pie.

Human activity will have climatic impact. At a specific emission rate per capita, what is the number of humans that can exist? Who decides which humans continue to exist?

You would be surprised how much traveling I’ve done…

I literally just got back from a trip to London and Paris a couple of weeks ago.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44412439

Let’s just say I’m Platinum Medallion on Delta (also from racking up miles on partner airlines Virgin Atlantic and Air France) , for 3 years in a row…

Are you trying to really say that cars aren’t popular outside of the US?

Did I miss the statistic you cited where most people in first world countries walk and ride bikes every where?

To me, an IPO by them at this moment let me think that they know that they are on top of the wave and that it is better to cash-in before growth starts to stale.

They got a huge influx of users when image editing AI started to be a thing, I'm not quite sure that they haven't already conquered most of new users that could join them.

Actually, in this context, I believe it effing should be. These people are stratospherically wealthy, and they’re using so-called charity as nothing more than PR and political cover.

Hundreds or thousands of people have made consequential life decisions based on this “charity,” and the removal of it will upend non-trivial parts of their lives. It will make zero appreciable difference to the Zuckerbergs, which is appropriate, because keeping the school in operation seemed to matter not to them either.

So yeah, when you use pocket change to fuck over thousands of people for political purposes and them fuck them again when you get bored — I don’t see how anyone calls that charity with a straight face.

From the article:

the top of the pay scale were elite ai labs such as Openai, as well as hedge funds such as Jane Street that are also betting heavily on machine learning. In this tier, median pay exceeded $400,000 a year. Below that were tech giants including Alphabet, Microsoft and, until recently, Meta, where median pay was closer to $300,000. Experienced developers at most other companies earn much less. Their median was around $180,000 (see chart 2).

—-

A median of 180K is mostly definitely raking it in compared to the median of all US employees.

I’m well over double the household median income in my metro area and while I don’t feel like I’m raking it in, I guess I am when compared to others.

This just seems like a silly article.

For me personally, not usually. But having worked on a few different companies with embeddable widgets, yes it is. The page-based (SSG) routing is not an option there. And even in CRUDs the product folks want WYSIWYG and smooth uploads of assets. With more and more bling it's just inevitable that one will need a JS framework eventually.

So, this is cool and a per-user memory is obviously relevant for effective LLM use. And major props for the temporal focus.

However, keeping a tight, constrained context turns out to actually be pretty important for correct LLM results (https://www.dbreunig.com/2025/06/22/how-contexts-fail-and-ho...).

Do you have a take on how we reconcile the tension between these objectives? How to make sure the model has access to relevant info, while explicitly excluding irrelevant or confounding factors from the context?

Also, the obvious: don't visit countries with border device searches.

I can understand customs looking for suspicious contraband. We all want drugs confiscated. But data is easier to transport across borders online than on a person's device. If they're looking for hints of terrorism these can be done also after entering the country with the proper warrants.

The only reason these are done is just theater and muscle flexing/bullying. They don't serve a real purpose. And the countries carrying these out are just trying to look tough.

Remote: Yes, EU timezones preferred

Willing to relocate: Depends on the location (but with a strong bias for EU-Schengen/US locations)

Technologies: Java, Python (and variants thereof like Groovy, Clojure, Pypy), Node/TS | AWS/Lambda Serverless, GCE/Kubernetes | Redis, MySQL, PostgreSQL, DynamoDB

Resume: https://bit.ly/3B3o65M (It links to my CV repo at Github, pinky promise. You can also visit github.com/<hnusername>.)

I'm not actively looking (hence why my resume link is obfuscated like that) but I'm at least interested in getting a feel for the market right now. That said, I'm willing to consider a position with a great fit for my skill set and career goals.

Here's my pitch: I have experience in a multitude of industries and positions. From improving legacy infra and processes in an established telco company to scaling a fast-moving startup from 200K to 2M users. In my free time, I love writing Code That Is Poetry but day-to-day I am not an idealist engineer who doesn't compromise. Well-engineered code is clean and correct but correct above all else.

Oh, also, I'm great at writing documentation. I consider myself introverted but apparently my communication skills are above average for Software Engineers. I also pride myself on my humility and modesty.

I'm currently a backend engineer developing features and improving infra for an online game with millions of daily active users. I'd love to explore other technical positions in the games industry short of joining a AAA studio because (a) I don't want to crunch and (b) my skill set does not lay that way; other tech-creative industries would also appeal to me! Another particular interest is in B2C businesses where the 'C' is software developers. I'd love to chat and network about opportunities; if you think you have a product that could benefit from my skill set, drop me a line!

> OK. Drop 10 random points in a city and then map routes between them using transit, cars, and bikes. You'll find that cars are around 3 times _faster_ than anything else on average. Even in dense cities. I'm going to call this "Cyberax's constant"!

From some level of experience doing just this all my life, this probably depends a lot on which city, how it's designed, and the time of day you do it at. There's some cities where you can actually get better results I'm sure! And there's some locations where I bet you'll get drastically worse results, especially during rush hour.

I'm really curious where you're living at the moment! And have you considered making counterpoint videos vs NotJustBikes? ;-)

I love how we have come full circle. Anybody remembers the "semantic web" (RDF-based knowledge graph)? It didn't take off because building and maintaining such a graph requires extensive knowledge engineering work and tools. Fast forward a couple of decades and we have LLMs, which is basically auto-complete on steroids based on general knowledge, with the downside that it doesn't "remember" any facts unless you spoon-feed it with the right context. We're now back to: "let's encode context knowledge as a graph and plug it into LLMs". Fun times :)

I live in Australia and we have preferential voting. We also don't vote for a president but the prime minister is decided by majority of seats in house of representatives.

It still ends up mostly being a 2 party thing. Supporting your team is deep rooted. However at least there is the potential for a third party to get in.

But it suffers from the same statistical issue. If a quarter of voters vote green but equally across seats then that popular vote is not represented in the number of seats.

It is a vote of a vote still.

I wonder if we can move away from representation purely on where you live.

Where you live means something. City vs. Countryside. Poor neighbourhoods vs. Rich. But if your issue is suffered by many but you don't all cluster together in latitude and longitude then that issue has less weight.

Sorry forgot this is who's hiring!

> The post specifically says there's not a tool for counting red dots on an image

Oh really? Is that what it says? Let's take a look:

> All I wanted was a way to click on things in a photo and have the number go up.

Those are the requirements. That's what the app is supposed to do.

I don't see "a tool for counting red dots" anywhere. The closest thing is this passage:

> It's stupidly simple: upload an image, click to drop a dot, and it tells you how many you've placed[…] But somehow, nothing like it existed.

You linked to an app that places its own markers (by way of ML) and then gives you a count of those—not a count of the ones that you put down. That so obviously fails the requirements.

So what you are saying is: "incentives are to always say the most inflammatory clickbait you can, to incentivize profits"

Therefore in this new setup where people pay sites and not other companies, if I want the most micro-payments coming to my site, I need to say the most inflammatory clickbait things I can? All this does is shift the who pays, and then of course because I want the most money for my site, I will also take a company's ad money and do tiers with the micro payments now. At no point does that change the content people want. Sure, maybe I won't get your micro payment, but that okay because now I have a new scheme that gives me advertisers money and readers money. Now if I find a way to exploit the FOMO of this new gated setup, I win even more and my content doesn't change.

These takes always find ways to blame providers and never hold to account the responsibility of consumers. Maybe we focus on the people and why they want the clickbait so bad? I don't have an answer to that, but that's probably because the "solutions" all want to focus on companies giving people exactly what they want instead of helping people become aware of addictive clickbait rage behaviour and patterns.

Fox tv station is not the only one that is broadcast into peoples homes, PBS is an option too. And on cable for news, my grandmother had C-SPAN on tv non-stop. Talk about some boring stable tv. (Which I am sure is still an option if thats what people want)

While English has compound nouns, they are different in that they are not (generally) single words.

For example, the lovely and memorable

Donaudampfschiffahrtselektrizitätenhauptbetriebswerkbauunterbeamtengesellschaft

would be translated into something like

"Association for Subordinate Officials of the Main Maintenance Building of the Danube Steamboat Shipping Company"

I’ve written a full stack monorepo with over 1,000 files alone now. I’ve started with AI doing a lot of the work, but the percentage goes down and down. For me a good codebase is not about how much you’ve written, but about how it’s architectured. I want to have an app that has the best possible user and dev experience meaning its easy to maintain and easy to extend. This is achieved by making code easy to understand, for yourself, for others.

In my case it’s more like developing a mindset building a framework than to push feature after feature. I would think it’s like that for most companies. You can get an unpolished version of most apps easily, but polishing takes 3-5x the time.

Lets not talk about development robustness, backend security etc etc. Like AI has just way too many slippages for me in these cases.

However I would still consider myself a heavy AI user, but I mainly use it to discuss plans,(what google used to be) or to check it if I’ve forgotten anything.

For most features in my app I’m faster typing it out exactly the way I want it. (with a bit of auto-complete) The whole brain-coordination works better.

I guess long talk, but you’re not alone trust your instinct. You don’t seem narrow minded.

I think there's a mismatch of expectations which is a solid reason to pursue friendships elsewhere. I think the other party in scenarios like this probably assumes (incorrectly of course) that youappreciate the break so you can check your phone too.

There's definitely something borked with our brains though. I have had multiple people express surprise when I tell them that I will not check any notifications when I'm driving even if I'm stopped at a traffic light for a minute or more. I just don't want to be distracted, and yeah it takes conscious effort sometimes, but it does get easier once you learn from experience that the world will not fall apart if you check your messages later.

I even internally reframe it as future candy, which makes me engage more positively with async interactions. But practicing delayed gratification is hard.

To think, you could've taken that opportunity to point out to her that saying the bad word didn't actually help her find it. Or you could've told her immediately that you heard her through the door because she yelled. Instead, you raised a casual swearer who's unaware of her surroundings. I hope nobody ever has to live in an apartment next to her.

Very neat idea to charge the crawlers via headers.

Wondering if it blocks things such as Infatica as well, where AI scrapers use that service to scrape data behind residential proxies, in which it's impossible to get the actual residential proxy for.

App developers hide Infatica drone code in things; I haven't thought of a reasonable way to block it.

IP addresses use the systems, humans use them in certain ways, Cloudflare must have a decent way to block these.
