Not necessarily, since disk failures are typically U-shaped.

Buying used drives eliminates the high rate of early failure (but does get you a bit closer to the 2nd part of the U-curve).

Typically most drives would become more obsolete before hitting the high failure rate of the right side of the U-curve from longevity (7+ years)

---

I am Rashid Azarang, a systems architect and builder focused on making intelligence usable. I design and implement cognitive systems that enable human-like interaction through AI agents.

Some recent work:

- Supply Chain Risk Management Platform — turned fragmented data into operational clarity.

- From Sync Bridge to Data Warehouse — re-architected brittle integrations into a coherent warehouse.

- Open Source Twilio SMS Dashboard — practical tooling others have since adopted.

- AWS CloudWatch Interface — lightweight logs explorer with MCP adapter.

I also maintain ChatGPT Exporter (80+ stars) and multiple MCP servers/agents. Previously, I helped scale a COVID-19 testing platform from ~1k to 100k+ tests per month, serving over a million people.

I’m looking for early-stage engineering roles where frontend speed meets backend reliability, especially in real-time systems, or AI.

The U.S. will never recover from this. Why? Because when foreign nations decide whether to do a deal with the U.S. they will do it with only a maxmimum of 4 year timeframes in mind. Because any deal you do with a sane administration could quite possibly be ended by the American people electing someone who is batshit insane, and who is backed by a bunch of cronies, sycophants and morons.

Y Combinator | Dogpatch, San Francisco, CA | Full-time, In Person | https://www.ycombinator.com

YC has been building ever-more ambitious software for founders to succeed -- since Garry returned. In the last year, our team delivered:

* Safe tools that has processed $1B+ in seed funding in last 4 batches

* Fundraising CRM for founders manage their fundraise -- used by all founders

* Work at a Startup has 1M+ candidates on it, with 1000s of hires/year

There are ton of ways we see YC Software benefitting our alumni and investors -- and we want founder/founding engineer minded people to drive each into standalone products.

Yet in reality, we're a team of 14 full-stack product engineers, the company is 85 people, and we intend to stay small and scrappy. I was the 7th engineer at salesforce and loved the early stage, and we get to be that way at YC... indefinitely.

YC is also knee-deep in applying AI tools and techniques across all of our product surface areas, and investor-focused work is no exception. We’re happy to share more when we chat in person.

We also want to work with people who love building full stack web apps. While our stack is Rails, React and Postgres, mostly we’re just a bunch of pragmatic builders who are excited about shipping and having impact.

Two roles are posted below: Investor Software and Post Batch (all SW after the batch).

If you're interested, read more below and email me directy with what you'd be excited to build here: ryan@ycombinator.com.

Oh no no, just a superficial observation of how you can see a streetcar ad that reads like budget homes… for those under $185k.

My region’s version of that ad is just as ridiculous to 95% of the world.

However I do think the U.S. does have a lot of range, which does look really weird at times. You can cross a county line and suddenly the roads turn into an amusement park ride. I think that’s the main “whaaat?” That comes to mind when I’ve travelled there. Well, that and abandoned cars on the side of the road.

It isn't easy but flipper did a remarkable work demonstrating it was possible. Tactility is following a similar concept and in my opinion is the project that implemented it best after flipper.

In the past, the solution for arbitrary code was running scripts such as Wrench: https://github.com/jingoro2112/wrench

More recently also became possible to run Java apps with a JVM on ESP32: https://github.com/FlintVN/FlintESPJVM which is not yet arbitrary (e.g. download and run) but that is the route of development.

Even Linux was demonstrated running on ESP32 albeit I've never tried it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pj0a91vlcGo

One of, in my opinion, the largest problem with Rust is that they sought to solve two problems:

1. Memory / thread safety

2. They didn't like C/C++

And often times it feels like there is more focus on problem two than problem one.

Quite a bit of idiomatic and safe (yes that does exist) C++ doesn't "translate" well to Rust without large amounts of rearchitecting. I'd focus more on converting C/C++ to languages nearing the safety of Rust but without it being such a huge shift. Like converting C++ to C#.

Thanks for the change, sorry if I came off as too aggressive. I've seen some uses of AI that were very similar that strictly made the article worse and it would have been better to simply delete it. I'll concede that I simply didn't get it, and that's a me problem here. I'll give the article a more fair chance when I have some time later :)

I once had a boss that used to really hate python. He would roll his eyes whenever it was brought up. He was CTO of the company and he would sneer at it. One day, in a one-to-one meeting, I asked him, "what is so bad about python?"

I expected him to explain some core deficiencies: problems regarding the module system or multi-threading limitations, or some pathological case where latency spikes... and he said "I don't like the whitespace."

I never took him seriously again and left that company shortly after.

Ok, I'll bite. What's that threshold to be considered "on the spectrum"? Is there a threshold on the other end? If so, what is that? My point is that everybody exhibits some of the symptoms typically associated with autism or Asberger's. For example: getting exhausted from being around people; sensory overload; pattern-finding in everything. It differs for each person. I frequently look for visual patterns around me, and it's satisfying to find one. Does that put me "on the spectrum"? Some sounds make me cringe. What about that? How many do there have to be? The whole reason it's called a "spectrum" is that there is no one thing that can define it.

zoetro.pe | Technical Staff | San Francisco, CA | ONSITE/REMOTE | Full-time We're an applied lab building deterministic and deep generative experiences. Our team has built AI models, games, and infrastucture at Tesla Autopilot, Epic Games, Scale.ai, Repl.it, Bun, and Lucasarts.

You will be building procedural simulation models and the supporting infrastructure and applications. We're a small team, so this means everything from CUDA kernels and Pytorch notebooks to web-apps. Our stack is multi-lingual and spans from very low to very high level code. We use both our own models and external providers.

Our team is hybrid-remote, being primarily based in San Francisco.

Our stack: Python (Pytorch/jax), Typescript(React etc), Rust/C++, Ghidra

We're looking for exceptional research engineers who aren't afraid to get their hands dirty. Experience with computational geometry or compilers/language design/formal methods is a plus.

Formal qualifications are less important than passion and skill. We're building our dreams, we hope you will feel the same.

I am getting tired of participating in this community for many reasons, but this specific reason is one of the most tiring ones.

But there's seemingly nowhere else to go, but maybe small Discord servers where you can meet people and share honest opinions that are real and agree to disagree without penalty.

Everyone should feel free to express harmless opinions.

Edit: Whoever downvoted me for this comment is proving my point.

Edit (for adastra22): I'm not sure that me providing a list of specific modifications to Rust syntax is meaningful to anyone anyway. I'm just a nobody. And it should be OK for people to express personal opinions that hint towards something being wrong without also being required to solve the problem. That's just life.

As someone who attended this school and has a degree from their economics department: this finding very consistent from what I learned in classes covering the economics of innovation. Historically, technological revolutions have increased productivity and labor force participation, despite many pundits at the time worried about loss of jobs.

The core intuition for this phenomenon is that human society overall takes the tech productivity gains to do more things overall, creating new goods and services. The broader range of goods and services overall also enables more people to find work.

Put another way, "“One thing I love about customers is that they are divinely discontent. Their expectations are never static – they go up. It’s human nature. You cannot rest on your laurels in this world. Customers won’t have it.” -- one of Bezos's Amazon shareholder letters.

One of my favorite counterintuitive examples: The biggest economic gains from the 1800s Industrial Revolution actually came from the humble washer/dryer. By making routine homeware 100x more efficient, this (along with other home appliances) allowed more women to enter the labor force, nearly doubling labor force participation within a couple generations. Though, at the beginning, lots of people were opining about homemakers losing a sense of purpose or relaxing all the time.

It's certainly possible that this study is just reinforcing the researcher's biases from their previous understanding of the economics of innovation, and also possible that this study is accurate today but conditions will change in the future. That said, I believe the burden of proof is on the pundits claiming cataclysmic job loss, which is counter to economic historians' models of innovation.

Predicting the future is valuable. If a model can apply the same underlying world model that it uses to accurately predict OLHC series as it does to produce English language, then you can interrogate and expand on that underlying world model in complex and very useful ways. Being able to prompt it can describe a scenario, or uncover hidden influences that wouldn't be apparent from a simple accurate prediction. Things like that allow sophistication in the tools - instead of an accurate chart with all sorts of complex indicators, you can get English explication and variations on scenarios.

You can't tell a numbers only model "ok, with this data, but now you know all the tomatoes in the world have gone rotten and the market doesn't know it yet, what's the best move?" You can use an LLM model like that, however, and with RL, which allows you to branch and layer strategies dependent on dynamic conditions and private data, for arbitrary outcomes. Deploy such a model at scale and run tens of thousands of simulations, iterating through different scenarios, and you can start to apply confidence metrics and complex multiple-degree-of-separation strategies to exploit arbitrage opportunities.

Any one of the big labs could do something like this, including modeling people, demographic samples, distributions of psychological profiles, cultural and current events, and they'd have a manipulation engine to tell them exactly who, when, and where to invest, candidates to support, messages to push and publish.

The fundamental measures of intelligence are how far into the future a system can predict across which domains. The broader the domains and farther into the future, the more intelligence, and things like this push the boundaries.

We should probably get around to doing a digital bill of rights, but I suspect it's too late already anyway, and we're full steam ahead to snow crash territory.

Right; and there are things which fall into the "true or false" category that are difficult to get clear answers for; economic policy is something that there are just too many confounding factors to prove to the same degree you can prove the laws of physics, for example.

And even for claims which are in the realm of "fact", which are false, but which are truly believed, we need to be careful about suppressing truth. There was a time when "the sun goes around the earth" was accepted "scientific fact". Lots of flat-earthers genuinely believe the falsehoods they're spreading. Where do we draw the line between "healthy skepticism" and "dangerous falsehood"?

I don't have a clear answer, but I do think there needs to be a line.

> CoL isn't a concern that is unique to teachers

Of course it's not, which is exactly the point. In many places, low teacher pay is predicated on the fact that there are plenty of people willing to accept the low pay because there are plenty of people willing to accept the low pay. That's not true everywhere.

If you want to have teachers at your school, you have to pay them enough to live within commuting distance, subject not just to tolerance of the commute, but you're also in competition with all the communities also within commuting distance. In my experience, aside from usual teacher attrition, Bay Area teachers don't leave for a different career, they leave for a different location, and usually those places need teachers too.

It’s wild that this is downvoted.

Converting all C++ code to Rust while actually getting a safety improvement is not possible because Rust does not safely support all of the things folks do in C++ (complex cyclic object graphs with inscrutable logic deciding lifetimes, intentional races, etc).

It’s easy to think that all of those “bad” things that C++ programmers do should somehow not have been done. It’s more likely that it’s either not possible to do it any other way or that you get a worse outcome if you do it another way. The cyclic nature of compiler IRs comes to mind. As do the wacky relationships between objects in games. Complex uses of syscall ABI are another. Oh and dynamic linking. Likely there are many other examples.

The idea that an LLM would convert C to Rust without introducing a slew of problems along the way is especially juvenile. Most likely the LLM with either use the unsafe subset of Rust, or produce Rust code that doesn’t actually match the functionality of the C code (but declare premature victory thinking that it did).

Oh it's certainly effecting jobs. I know plenty of people who would be unemployed right now if not for the insane spending on AI across the board.

I think there's many reasons for the AI hype, but one of the basic ones is that it's the only way to keep the economy propped up. I doesn't matter if it's an illusion or not, it means money is flowing many directions (even if a shocking number of those flows are accounting tricks).

What we're watching is some mass hysteria like tulip mania. There are many, many people who benefit from this situation independent of whether or not its an illusion.

And maybe that bubble will pop and maybe it will soon, but when it does, most of us will wish it hadn't.

If you buy the cylindrical air filters, you can pop one on a table, pop a case fan on top, and hook it up to a phone charger via a 20 cent Usbc adaptor.

As a bonus, the USB-C PD adaptor has selectable voltage (5, 9, 12v) on little dip switches, and that can be used as a speed control for a 12v fan.

Turn it up to max when cooking, and down to silent again when sleeping.

No need for any fixings or case or anything.

i typically have 5 tabs open, no more, no less. i always have them in the same order so that i can navigate via alt+1, alt+2, alt+3, etc.. one tab is always my personalised homescreen which has all the main links+software i use in a day. having them in the same order means i don't even need to look at the sidebar to navigate to them, it just helps to see what tab i am focused on sometimes.

with glide you can also make keymaps:

glide.keymaps.set("normal", "gd", () => openOrFocus("docs.google.com/document", "https://docs.google.com"), { description: "Go Docs" });

so i can close a tab quickly in normal mode using: tx. then hit gd to open google docs as an example.

i do have a hidden bookmarks bar with a ton of junk and sites i rarely open, but it is there if i need to find something.

> Republicans have the majority and can't even whip together enough votes for a funding resolution

Republicans would have to change the Senate rules which currently require 60 votes, they only have 53 seats. If they changed the rules, it would have passed without the Democrats who voted yes to it yesterday.

Yesterday's vote was 55-45, with 60 needed. Two Democrats and one independent voted for it, with one Republican voting against. Without those three, it was still 52-48. A change to a simple majority vote would have averted the shutdown.
