Attendi | ML Platform Engineer | Amsterdam, Netherlands | ON-SITE hybrid | Full-time (80-100%)

Healthcare professionals have to spend too much time on administrative tasks when they should be spending that time delivering great care. Attendi allows healthcare professionals to report with their voice. This saves them precious time and removes the screen between client and caregiver, allowing more personal and effective care to be given. Burdened by an aging population, the healthcare sector is in desperate need of innovators like Attendi. We feel that we provide an extraordinary work environment: getting paid well to work with smart people on things that actually have a positive impact on society.

We are building the best-in-market speech-to-text and NLP solutions for Dutch health care professionals, and are looking for an experienced ML Platform Engineer to support in building and optimising our ML and data infrastructure with a focus on reliability, performance, and scalability. You will contribute to research and innovation, helping expand the capabilities of our AI-driven tools, building the next generation of our Speech-to-Text Engine — expanding into new domains and reaching a broader range of healthcare professionals.

We have a dedicated team with fewer than 25 members, which means no bullshit, moving fast, and getting a generous slice of equity. We're post product-market fit, profitable, and on the cusp of scaling up in the Dutch market.

Find out more and apply here: https://attendi.recruitee.com/o/ml-platform-engineer

Feel free to send any questions to berend@attendi.nl

> He DID NOT come in legally.

So here we have what I think is some of the nonsense of the current laws. My understanding is that how you generally apply for asylum is:

1. Show up in the country one way or another

2. Apply for asylum

So, is #1 "illegal", since he didn't have an official reason to be here long-term when he came into the country? Or is #1 "legal", since the laws for step 2 seem to be written in a way that step 1 is necessary?

If you know more about how asylum actually works, feel free to enlighten me.

Immigrating to Denmark is actually pretty easy if you have the right kind of education or get offered a job with a high enough (~$65000) pay. See the "Pay Limit schemes" and "Positive Lists" on this page: https://nyidanmark.dk/en-GB/You-want-to-apply/Work

And as a reference, $65000 would be considered a preposterously low salary for a new STEM graduate in Denmark.

Back in the last century, Mathematica was like this as well. On Macs, "return" wouldn't run the command you entered, you had to hit "enter" from the numpad. Shift-return may have worked as well, but it's been so long I couldn't say for sure.

Boomers and their turf cult is wild. If they were hiring local teenagers once a month to cut it then I wouldn't care so much, but mowers and leaf blowers every single week is beyond reasonable.

> not because there are mythical hard-working Americans in line to do the work

There obviously are, but baby boomers loath paying honest (legal) wages.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one thinking this. I built a medium-complexity, money-making, production-grade app in Next.js and started out on Vercel's hosting (and Google Firebase) and then moved to hosting myself and stripping out Firebase, replacing it with Pocketbase.

Pocketbase was the ONLY good thing about this journey. Everything else sucked just so terribly.

Infinite complexity everywhere, breaking changes CONSTANTLY, impenetrable documentation everywhere.

It is just so, so awful. If we rewound the last five years of FE trends and instead focused on teaching the stuff that existed at the time properly, we'd be in a much better position.

I've also built a very complex React frontend (few thousand users, pretty heavy visual computation required in many places). And while I don't particularly like React either, Next.js was even worse.

And lastly, built a CMS in Go, with vanilla JS. And while the DX sometimes feels lacking, I just can't help but feel that I actually know wtf is going to happen when I do something. Why is that so hard?

In React and Next.js I am STILL, AFTER SIX YEARS constantly guessing what might happen. Yes, I can fix just about anything these frameworks throw at me, thanks to all the experience I've gathered about their quirks, but it all just feels to messy and badly designed.

In Go, the last time I guessed what might happen was in the first six months of learning it. No surprises since. Codebases from years ago are still rock-solid.

Why can't we do this at the frontend, goddammit?

Same, my personal theory where it excels and overachieves is where there is already really fleshed out and oversaturated developer ecosystems (and experienced developer pool) that organizations have alot of legacy software built on it. I think it will gain momentum as we see more need for distributed LLM agents and tooling pick up. (Or when people need extreme cost savings on front facing apis/endpoints that run simple operations)

Yeah I use it to read HN threads, articles from my RSS reader, Wikipedia pages, code that I want to review etc. Also, material that I need to make into flashcards eventually. The ability to schedule a chunk of text and then turn it into flashcards in the same application is really valuable to me. I typically open a thread and import it a few days later after most of the comments are done. Right now I have ~40-50 tabs I will import in a few days.

This video [1] is the second step of the process, the first would be making that extract from an article or larger chunk of text imported. Often, I read a little bit of the text and just delete the whole entry if it turns out not to be good/interesting/useful to me.

Not at all. The poster I responded to claimed this:

> a typical hotel is a tax vehicle that happens to rent rooms.

>In many cases, the owner/operator is nearly turnkey,

What does this even mean? Hotels can be turnkey, which in industry terminology means that everything is working sufficiently well such that you can start renting rooms immediately. An owner/operator being turnkey makes no sense.

> setting up a defacto managed business investment

Also makes no sense.

>Also in many of these cases, the franchiser provides contacts for financing, may directly facilitate/recruit Capital, and may even provide loans to the franchisee directly.

Even if true, what does this have to do with taxes?

>For most of these larger hotels, the actual act of renting out rooms, etc. is pretty much all automated/managed through the central system anyway,

No, the actual out of renting out rooms involves housekeepers, maintenance staff, guest service agents, cooks, and management making sure rooms are clean and habitable. Reserving a hotel room is mostly automated, but even that requires a person to manage conflicts of reservations (e.g. unexpectedly needing to extend a stay causing overbooking, changing room types, room locations, etc.)

>and the majority of the operating costs are structured in such a way as to minimize tax liability.

Who doesn't structure their operating costs to minimize their tax liability? If you file married joint instead of married separate or head of household, are you "structuring" your operating costs as a way to minimize tax liability?

The question of how a hotel is used to gain an tax advantage that would otherwise be unavailable remains unanswered.

Lossy is an incomplete characterization. LLMs are also much more fluctuating and fuzzy. You can get wildly varying output depending on prompting, for what should be the same (even if lossy) knowledge. There is not just loss during the training, but also loss and variation during inference. An LLM overall is a much less coherent and consistent thing than most humans, in terms of knowledge, mindset, and elucidations.

This is what I expressed considering, in another recent thread. Phone does phone things and "necessary" apps. Otherwise, it's a hotspot for the "unhindered" device.

I'd enjoy suggestions as to suitable unhindered devices.

P.S. I just hope we can continue to access / create unhindered devices -- and programs/apps (cough Manifest v3 cough).

I just want to say that death and war are horrible things and there is nothing wrong with wanting them to end or trying to end them. War is totally horrific.

At the same time, I just think we have this habit as a society of creating a charged label, and then using these charged labels to argue against our political opponents as a way to brand them as illegitimate, dangerous or beyond the bounds of acceptable debate.

Some examples of this is how the terrorism label became a charged label after 9/11 and was used to delegimatize all kinds or protest or political organizing, or how we have expanded the definition of racism beyond overt racism to systemic racism, which many democrats used to label every major republican a racist and casts arguments about policy as a form of personally being a bigot.

By recognizing that people we disagree with are not the second coming of hitler or bin Laden, we make space for constructive debate and real solutions instead of shutting down debate, viewing people we disagree with as pure evil and not addressing the root causes.

huge fan of elixir. and definitely have some dumb questions.

in some of the realtime architectures i've seen, certain processes get priority, or run at certain Hz. but i've never seen this with the beam. afaik, it "just works" which is great most of the time. i guess you can do: Process.flag(:priority, :high) but i'm not sure if that's good enough?

Although APIs are the foundation of contemporary software, working with them frequently feels more difficult than it needs to be. The explanation, documentation, and support of APIs are the issues, not the APIs themselves. This blog will cover the common problems developers face with APIs and their documentation, the difficulties they encounter when integrating them, and how Swytchcode is helping our understanding and use of APIs.

Regardless of the appeal to unix philosophy in their docs, sd has never stuck with me because it doesn't natively support replace across a project/ multiple files, and that's what you always want to do. Instead I pipe `rg -R --json` output into a script (rg does do replacement, but only on the stdout, not in-place)

I can understand that. For me personally, Vue has a limited set of lifecycle hooks you can use so its hard to pick the wrong one. React on the other hand gives u some kind of use_ for everything, so its first and foremost harder to understand the app lifecycle and to pick the correct hook.

With Vue I started to use Pinia for my whole apps state management, which are data stores. Clean and centralized logic, with React idk what a substitute would be.

I know React can be clean too, but that (in my opinion) requires a lot more depth of knowledge about the framework.

I think they're a little more common where I live in the UK, at least. I actually thought the original post was going to be about https://www.the-bookshop.com/ in Scotland where I've visited a few times, but they have 100,000 books versus this guy's 150k :)

I don't know if the US has the concept of "book towns" but there's quite a few over Europe where you'll have used book stores very close to each other and some sort of annual book festival. Wigtown in Scotland is absolutely tiny (under a thousand people and far from any major towns) but has several, as does Hay-on-Wye in Wales. It becomes a bit of a tourist thing.

I remember feeling vaguely threatened by interests that I didn't understand growing up. At one point for instance, my friend was really into anime, and I felt like it's too weird, like you'd need to be a very different kind of person to enjoy that kind of thing. Years later I decided to try it though, and still I have a bit of an aversion to a lot of the tropes of most anime, but there are also quite a few gems in there that I would've missed. I'm reminded of this often because it's common that people just have a blanket "I don't watch cartoons" attitude. I try to remember this when I have an aversion to some kind of music, literature, movie or hobby.

FusionAuth | Senior Security Engineer, Documentation Engineer, Sr Developer Advocate | Denver, CO, USA ONSITE/hybrid for the security engineer, others are Remote USA | Salaries listed on job req, but for the Security Engineer it is 140k-200k

Our mission is to make authentication and authorization simple and secure for every developer building web and mobile applications. We want devs to stop worrying about auth and focus on building something awesome. There are a lot of companies in the auth space, but we feel like we have something special:

* a unique deployment model (self-host on-prem or in your cloud or run in our cloud)

* A well designed API first approach; one customer compared our app to petrichor

* a mature product (the code base is over eight years old and we've found and fixed a lot of the sharp edges around core login use cases; however there are plenty more features to add)

* founder-led; the CTO is an engineer who still writes code

* a full featured free-as-in-beer version that makes the sales cycle easier; prospects often come in having prototyped an integration already

Our core software is commercial with a "free as in beer" version. We also open source much of our supporting infrastructure. We are profitable but raised money in 2023 to accelerate our growth (more on that here: https://fusionauth.io/blog/fusionauth-funding ).

Technologies and standards that you will work with: Modern Java, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Docker, Kubernetes, OAuth, SAML, OIDC.

AI coding assistants are evolving fast, and many of the best ones actually have solid free tiers. This roundup covers tools like GitHub Copilot (student/edu free), Codeium (completely free for individuals), Tabnine, AWS CodeWhisperer, Replit Ghostwriter, and even open-source options like Polycoder.

The post also touches on how these tools compare in real-world coding — from autocomplete to debugging, testing, and productivity.

Honestly, I would hate to live under the rule of law in the USA. Everyone that waited 31 days to register for the draft would be a felon, the guy who gets wasted and takes a nap instead answering the census worker would be in jail, and about 10% of the USA would be in the federal pen for 10 years because they own a squirrel hunting gun while also at sometime in the past year smoking a marijuana cigarette.

Meanwhile the so called people enforcing the "rule of law" are bagging people up all masked up, no visible credentials, shifting them around in jurisdictions faster than their lawyer can keep up, then sending them in 3rd world shithole prisons even if there is an active order barring that from happening.

If you want to show me rule of law, first of all show me a government that even vaguely follows the very constitution that authorized its existence in the first place. I would rather have anarchy than rule of law enforced by bandits.

>Free for non commercial use

I like to recreationally overthink sometimes:

Most of us code in hopes that the thing we make is cool and useful, and it's a good thing if the thing we make catches on and becomes popular. Some might even say if they could make a living off their creation, they'd love that.

Given that this site is what it is, -most- of us have financial ambitions, with code as the means to an end to get us that money.

Back to the free for non commercial use stipulation, I'm just wondering how practical is this model? Is it expected that people do periodic reviews of the success of their projects and make some sort of subjective judgement when they should pay for a license?

Is there room for some other business model to more viably compete with vscode and vscode-forks that are free, while still creating paychecks for JetBrains?

> I'm typing this on a swiping keyboard. It's different enough that a better layout might have been worth it here...

Perhaps, but as someone who has been proficient in QWERTY, Dvorak, and Colemak, and who now uses Colemak-DH I can say that I leave my phone and small tablet keyboards on QWERTY.

The separation of common letters in QWERTY forces your finger to move farther when swiping, but that provides a bit more distinguishing information for identifying words. When I tried swiping with Colemak and Dvorak my finger basically scrubbed back and forth across the home row and words were often mis-identified.

There are slightly improved swiping input methods like 8pen, Typewise, Hero, etc but if you are entering enough text to be able to amortize their learning costs you might be better off getting a portable Bluetooth keyboard or just using voice dictation.

> compete with some service they offer themselves

if you move from ban to, systematically hinder updates, despotic interpretation of store TOS/Guidelines/Rules, APIs their apps can use and others can't which affect competitiveness of the apps, not having to pay their own fees, randomly removing top apps from the app store front/ranking/promotion, TOS which make competing impossible etc.

then they have been doing exactly that for years

i.e. "not ban but market wise not that different"

> Why reject switch 1 accessories though?

Because the Switch 2 is a different machine. Games being backwards compatible (via emulation) doesn't mean the hardware is (or has to be) backwards compatible. Different display chips, different display protocols, etc.

People made all kinds of claims about how the Switch 1 wasn't USB Type-C compliant when it was discovered that the Nyko dock kept frying the power management IC in the first Switch console. I think a lot of that false communal knowledge has carried forth to the Switch 2, unfortunately.
