Counting robots is like counting circuits in a piece of electronics: It's Meaningless.

However what would be interesting is if they ever have a situation where the number of humanoid robot employees outnumbers human employees. Once someone is able to run an entire large corporation with no humans at all it will be a big milestone I guess.

But there's no real driving force for this to happen, because the humanoid form factor is not necessarily ideal for most kinds of industrial applications. And a lot of the "Automation" will be AI Agents, which have no form factor at all, being purely knowledge based.

Hi, I'm Alex. I'm a year post grad from CS, still looking for work. I have been biding my time by doing a variety of projects to keep busy and learn new things. Prior to this, I have done systems administration, where I managed on prem Windows servers, Hyper-V, and networking hardware for some school districts where I have studied. In my spare time, I run my own Linux homelab using Docker, Ansible, and Grafana. I use it to self-host my projects (among other things), which include a full-stack Reddit marketplace monitor with its own CI/CD pipeline. I'm a generalist who enjoys working from the infrastructure up to the application.

Honestly? I'm not picky (never was). I don't mind a chance working anywhere.

It's not an ideal solution because any fixed cost solution is begging for a middle man/reseller to be introduced.

Like I pay the $5 monthly flat fee (or $500, $5k, $500k, whatever it's known fixed cost for me) for the system, turn around and resell all content for a $1 monthly flat fee.

There is a real cost to the content you're consuming with that flat-fee. So either the flat fee is more of "credit" system or it's relying on a middle man to do the oversubscribing calculation/arbitrage or whatever to balance the cost.

And no, introducing any form of rate limits or "abuse reduction" doesn't work because it's basically changing your flat-fee into a credit based system.

A credit system has advantages over pure micropayment system (in terms of mental overload. I know I charged my "internet content" card with $50 for this month. A movie on Netflix is selling for $2 tonight. Normally it's $0.5 a movie, but it's Valentines and everyone is "Netflix and Chilling" so surge charging)

I’m sure that when more than half of us are unemployed that we’ll just sit quietly and know our place.

What’s that you say? People with nothing left to lose tend to put the heads of Capitalists on pikes for all to see? Well maybe you should have thought of that before pillaging the commons and treating people like slaves? But “fiduciary duty to shareholder value” you say? You made that shit up in the 1950s and have been pushing it like it were true ever since. Saying a thing doesn’t make it true.

> >This really does sound like Computer Science since it's very beginnings. > Except in actual computer science you can prove that your strategies, discovered by trial and error, are actually good.

Maybe it's true for computer science - but most people on here aren't doing computer science. They're doing software engineering. And it sure as heck isn't true for software engineering. If it were, I wouldn't be hearing arguments about programming languages for years, or static vs dynamic typing, or functional vs OOP...

So what you're arguing about AI isn't exactly anything new to software development.
Border search safe TOTP authenticator app?
by jakedata | 2025-07-01 18:33:44+00:00
While crossing international borders, a traveler may be legitimately asked to provide access to their devices. Such a person is often not in a position to refuse.

I am searching for a dual-pin TOTP app that looks like it is working whether it is or not. Entering the wrong PIN might cause the app to generate invalid codes while optionally wiping the real config.

Actually attempting to use the invalid code could potentially trigger all kinds of actions on the server that received the bogus login request. Sending an SOS email might be one such action.

I am not sure such a thing exists in either major app store. Thoughts?

SEEKING WORK | Remote | Lead Infrastructure Engineer

I am a Lead Infrastructure Engineer with 20+ years of experience.

Whether your team is stuck troubleshooting infra issues, needs extra hands on an infra-heavy project or is just lacking tech leadership on the DevOps topics, contact me and we'll figure it out.

I prefer to work along the existing engineering teams, mentoring or training them while working together on the real tasks. This is a very effective and also a flexible way to learn and as a bonus, some work gets done on the way.

I am located in EU (Estonia) and work remotely with occasional on-site visits.

The usual topics are various AWS services, Elastic Stack, Linux, wide range of troubleshooting, infrastructure as code, logging & monitoring, managing cloud costs, but I find it rewarding to venture into new areas together with the team.

What are the bees in your hive doing when you are using this oxalic acid?

Or if you have no brood for a period of time, I can see that this would decrease the mite population in the empty hive, but wouldn't the brood carry the mites with them wherever they have gone?

From my experience, compile times ain't an issue if you pay a little attention. Precompiled header, thoughtful forward declarations, and not abusing templates get you a long way.

We are commonly working with games that come with a custom engine and tooling. Compiling everything from scratch (around 1M lines of modern C++ code) takes about 30-40 seconds on my desktop. Rebuilding 1 source file + linking comes in typically under 2 seconds (w/o LTO). We might get this even lower by introducing unity builds, but there's no need for that right now.

At least from the outside, OpenAI's messaging about this seems obnoxiously deluded, maybe some of those employees left because it starts feels like a cult built on foundations of self importance? Or maybe they really do know some things we don't know, but it seems like a lot of people are eager to keep giving them that excuse.

But then again, maybe they have such a menagerie of individuals with their heads in the clouds that they've created something of an echo chamber about the 'pure vision' that only they can manifest.
1KB JavaScript Demoscene Challenge Just Launched
by babakode | 2025-07-01 18:36:40+00:00
I just launched JS1024 — a creative coding challenge with a strict limit: 1024 bytes of JavaScript.

No libraries. No frameworks. Just raw code.

You can submit visual effects, generative art, tiny games, synths, or whatever you can fit into 1KB of JavaScript.

→ https://js1024.fun/

Think of it as a spiritual successor to JS1k or the 4k demoscene — with a modern twist.

Would love feedback, ideas, or help spreading the word. And if you’ve ever made a tiny JS demo, please share — I’d love to see it.

Superhuman user and former Grammarly user here.

I'm a big fan of Superhuman as an email client and happily pay the premium price for it. I really hope they don't change what makes it great.

I used to love Grammarly until they essentially ruined their product - much like Dropbox did. They took an app that worked perfectly and deprecated it, replacing it with an invasive keyboard replacement that was supposed to work everywhere but performed poorly across most programs and included functionality I wasn’t interested in that is kept nagging me to use. When I complained about the issues, instead of addressing my concerns, they sent form letter responses about their commitment to privacy rather than fixing their intrusive software.

This reminds me exactly of Dropbox's transformation from simple, reliable file storage into bloated software that cluttered my computer with pop-ups and background processes. When users complained, their team never seemed to understand why we were frustrated. Then they started acquiring other services I eventually cancelled as they tried to integrate them into their core service. I eventually moved to iCloud and never looked back.

I hope Superhuman keeps their current excellent email client that I gladly pay for, rather than replacing it with some "next generation" product that nobody asked for and that would likely be inferior to what we have now. I genuinely love Superhuman as it is.

Hello I'm Jordan, I have 15+ years of experience with full stack software development, and leading technical teams. I've been CTO a few times, worked in/for startups, consulted for fortune 500s, and worked on public sector modernization projects.

What I am good at:

- DevOps

- Building teams that get things done. I love getting to the point where product owners (voluntarily) say "how about you guys in engineering do whatever you think is best, because we need some time to think about these features requests before we know what more to build"

What I'm interested in:

- DevOps/DevEx improvements,

- Improvements to containerization, eBPF, MicroVMs, Linux internals

- I like smaller (< 50 person) companies of all kinds

I am flexible in regards full time, part time, contract, occasional consulting.

More or less, yeah.

When it's all grown up though, I'd hope for more transparency into where the money is going. Suppose a journalist has risked life and limb to expose some important information and two news outlets publish stories about it. I don't want to pay the news outlets under the assumption that they'll then pay the journalist. Instead I want to decide which story to read based on whichever one triggers my client to compensate the journalist the most (because I care more about the investigative work than the writing, though other users might configure their clients differently).

Try this: go find a place that sells honeybee nucs (a starter hive). Then go to Archive.org and compare the prices 10 years ago. I took the first "storefront" hit on Google, and found archived pages back to 2016 --- in 2016, a queen was $40; today, $42.

If it's a collapse it seems like a slow collapse.

There is reality, then there are views/models of reality constructed via various different ways of sensing reality, whether that's a laser-scan depth map, normal human 3-color vision, occasional human 4-color vision, animal UV-sensitive vision, mass detectors, magnetic/electrical field detectors, etc, etc.

Why should we regard one extremely arbitrary way of sensing reality as more important or real than any of the others? Why is reflected light important, not absorbed light? Why visible spectrum vs other frequencies? Why human red/green/blue color cone detection (which is no such thing - they are overlapping curves of frequency spectrum sensitivity)? Why focus on light reflection, not sound? Why focus on surface attributes of objects such as "color" rather then regard other attributes such a mass distribution, or anything else as primary?

I should also add: I don't install apps like Signal/Whatsapp on the SIMless phone. No one should be able to call me on it. Period.

I do have a mail app on it, and it checks mail only when I tell it to (i.e. not running in the background giving me email notifications).

At home, I keep the phone with the SIM in one room. I can use the SIMless phone around the house and not worry about pings.

Hey HN — I’m a veteran and indie hacker trying to build small, useful tools. This one came from personal pain.

I save tons of posts on X (Twitter)—threads, articles, tools, ideas—but never actually read them. I wanted a way to actually use my bookmarks instead of just hoarding them.

So I built Saved Send — it pulls in your X bookmarks, lets you organize them with folders and tags, and sends you one bookmark a day by email. You can keep it, delete it, or ignore it, but the goal is simple: slowly work through your backlog, one click at a time.

Tech stack: Flask (web framework+mail), SQLAlchemy, html/css/java for front end

Here’s the link: https://savedsend.com

Would love any feedback. What else would make this actually help you use your bookmarks?
by photon_garden | 2025-07-01 18:44:13+00:00
Appreciate you engaging on this, and I have sent an email to the author.

I personally found that venting about it did achieve something — disagreeing with folks in the comments prompted me to look up concrete numbers on how many men are likely to experience shame around their penis size.

I also think it helps nudge social norms towards making that kind of language less acceptable (both here on HN and elsewhere), and in a best case may have prompted some folks to reflect on how they speak and write.

Is that speculative benefit worth the conflict it created? I think so — when managed appropriately, conflict is a normal and healthy part of most human relationships. And IMO the wellbeing of ~2 million men is worth stirring the pot a little.

But you might disagree and you're the mod, so for better or worse your opinion is the one that matters here.

I work on a project in this space, and the endless insistence of people that they have to run clearly non-web things through reverse proxies always amazes me :)

Not everything is a web app, and it's trivial these days to obtain certificates, even without a proxy (certbot, etc.).

Of course I understand that if you host a lot of web apps, having all web requests routed through a universal proxy is nice for various reasons. But platforms like Discord and such are complex beasts and use more technologies than HTTP(S).

Could just be another way of saying that if you can't maintain enough growth momentum to make somebody a billionaire, then you wouldn't be considered successful.

At today's rates, I'm not surprised, isn't the dollar at an all-time low about now?

Certainly if success is judged by accumulating as much money as possible to flow in one direction, more so than all other worthwhile endeavors, then you should have lofty goals and it's pretty straightforward if the goals are purely financial.

> So the issue has never been about the 30%, it’s about the closed platform?

No, the issue is that they have both a 30% cut of every software sale and a closed platform. Steam has a 30% cut, but not a closed platform, hence the bad analogy.

Not sure why you're bringing the Steam Deck into this discussion. Is the only way to play Steam games via Deck? No, so it's completely irrelevant.
