MONUMENTAL | https://www.monumental.co/ | Amsterdam, The Netherlands | Full Time | Onsite

We make robots that autonomously construct buildings. We are currently developing and manufacturing our autonomous bricklaying system in the beautiful centre of Amsterdam. And our robots are already earning real revenue operating on construction sites all over the Netherlands.

We're looking for experienced FULL-STACK ENGINEERS who can help us solve problems like:

- Data sync and analytics queries across a fleet of robots (that can be offline for hours at a time)

- Rapid deployment and iteration of experimental software changes across firmware, control software and UI

- Modelling buildings in code and finding the right UI for operators to edit them

Check out the progress we've already made on Atrium, our operating system for robotics: https://www.monumental.co/atrium

We're rapidly scaling up operations and we need experienced, generalist engineers who can build the systems that manage all of that complexity. If you think that 'full-stack' could reasonably mean debugging firmware, mixing buckets of mortar _and_ writing React components, we are looking for you. Robotics experience not required!

I’m not disputing that Congress can cede power to the Executive Branch. Rulemaking and regulatory agencies like the FTC and FCC are great examples of this.

I will argue that the inconsistency in the Supreme Court’s rulings are creating an environment where some independent agencies will receive special consideration based on their function. This sets up an environment where Congress loses out on the collaborative benefits and safeguards of independent agencies in favor of the courts further empowering the Executive.

There's just no way for Apple to maintain and run comprehensive test suites for all the different software platforms out there, even "popular" ones.

That's why they release betas early -- that gives each project an opportunity to run their own test suites, however comprehensive they may be.

It's a little hard to hold Apple responsible when there are a lot of app teams in a better position to catch this than Apple, and apparently none of them did.

(Maybe it was a late change in Tahoe? Still, no one found it in the RC either it seems.)

I wonder if this is a little about storage costs? I mean, at their scale, i imagine the core cost of the actual storage by itself is pretty negligible...but maybe combined with other infra. (beyond storage) that needs to be considered in the total costs related to storing and managing POP pulls...maybe their data shows that it simply wasn't worth it to them to keep said functionality around? But, your comment did make me chuckle a little! :-)

> Hence it is evident that the state is a creation of nature, and that man is by nature a political animal. And he who by nature and not by mere accident is without a state, is either above humanity, or below it; he is the ‘Tribeless, lawless, hearthless one,’ whom Homera denounces — the outcast who is a lover of war; he may be compared to a bird which flies alone.

Sure, Aristotle wasn't talking about corporations, but as the author says "you can refuse to participate, but that doesn’t make it go away," you shouldn't be a bird which flies alone.

The point of FOSS is control. You want to have access to the source, including build instructions and everything, in order to be able to meaningfully change the program, and understand what it actually does (or pay an expert to do this for you). You also want to make sure that the company that made this doesn't have a monopoly on fixing it for you, so that they can't ask you for exorbitant sums to address an issue you have.

An open weight model addresses the second part of THIS, but not the first. However, even an open weight model with all of the training data available doesn't fix the first problem. Even if you somehow got access to enough hardware to train your own GPT-5 based on the published data, you still couldn't meaningfully fix an issue you have with it, not even if you hired Ilya Sutskever and Yann LeCun to do it for you: these are black boxes that no one can actually understand at the level of a program or device.

I had a friend group who participated in these fairs and Dagorhir (battle roleplay + foam padded weapons).

I never asked them why they participated. But from observation they had great joy in hand crafting costume, weapons, and armor, then utilizing their craft to roleplay and battle. Maybe there’s something to be said about ownership.

I’d also hesitate to guess that the medieval time period was a time when most of the technology at the time could be understood and actively participated by the average person while simultaneously supporting a growing! civilization.

Now the average person undesirably participates in a no or low growth job where they have no agency in their day to day.

The kind of ruling at issue (on what preliminary measures to take to while a case is being adjudicated) are, under the law, based on a wide variety of considerations beyond the merits of the underlying case (though a judegement of likelihood of success on the merits is one of the factors, it is not the only one.)

The concrete impact of the act to be allowed or constrained is, very much, a part of that analysis, so situations which are otherwise legally similar in terms of the underlying issues but where the potential impacts in the interim of adjudication are different can very easily have very different outcomes at this level without judicial favoritism or misconduct.

Which isn't to say that there aren't problems with recent Supreme Court decisions in this area, just than you need more than “cases with similar underlying legal questions have different outcomes on preliminary orders governing what is allowed before the case is resolved” to make that case.

Show HN: Gitsafe-CLI – Transparent file encryption for Git repos
by bitpilot | 2025-10-01 17:54:44+00:00
I built gitsafe-cli, a Python CLI that lets you transparently encrypt files in a git repo based on patterns (like `.gitattributes`). It supports both symmetric encryption and GPG keyfiles for teams.

Why: I wanted something simpler than git-crypt, with flexible pattern matching, easy setup via `pip install`, and modern crypto defaults.

How: after `gitsafe init`, any files matching your patterns are automatically encrypted in commits and decrypted in your working tree.

Repo/PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/gitsafe-cli/

I’d love feedback on usability, team workflows, and missing features. Collaboration welcome!

I didn't notice at first but it's one of those "blog post ads", concluding with "it's time".

Time for what? To click the "open app" button? Okay, so I clicked.

It doesn't open app. A button labelled "open app" should do what's on the tin. Instead it prompts for sign-up with terms and conditions warnings. I'm out.

Just open the app without sign-in! Why not? Too hard? Too scary? You can haggle for sign-up later. Let's see what you have right now, under the button labelled with a promise that I expect you to keep. Lying to me on page one is not a good start.

Here's an example of a web app that does it right. The button "start using Photopea" isn't a lie: https://www.photopea.com/

I'd love to see a blind study comparing a wide spectrum of these AI tracks to lesser known real artists (so the participants don't just recognize the songs) to see whether people can tell or if knowledge of the source biases them. I'm genuinely curious as to the results.

I don't think people would think anything strange of a lot of these tracks if they just randomly heard them on the radio.

Maybe one factor is its versatility in leetcode, which to a first approximation every SWE has to do.

Declare sets, lists, and maps in one line. Don’t need to worry about overflow or underflow. Slicing is extremely convenient and expressive. Types not necessary, but that’s rarely confusing in short code blocks.

Compare to js, you’re immediately dealing with var/let/const decisions using up unnecessary mental energy.

My question isn't why do it yourself. A quick back of the envelope math shows AWS being much more expensive. My question is why San Francisco? It's one of the most expensive real estate markets in the US (#2 residential, #1 commercial), and electricity is expensive. $0.71/KwH peak residential rate! A jaunt down 280 to San Jose's gonna be cheaper, at the expense of. having to take that drive to get hands on. But I'm sure you can find someone who's capable of running a DC that lives in San Jose and needs a job so the SF team doesn't have to commute down to South Bay. Now obviously there's something to be said for having the rack in the office, I know of at least two (three, now) in San Francisco, it just seems like a weird decision if you're already worrying about money to the point of not using AWS.

Seems to be missing quite a bit of history. As many here mention, there was an entire ecosystem of tools to convert PSDs to HTML such as CSSHat, Engima64, etc., and its evolution into Avocode, Sketch, Zeplin, Invision Craft & Inspect, and other preview/prototyping/inspect/export tools.

Eventually all roads led to Figma somehow, which honestly I would've never expected. Still surprised Figma became Sketch before Sketch could become Figma.

I can't tell whether I use this; the description in the article sort-of matches a feature I use, but not exactly. The feature I use is labelled "Check mail from other accounts" and appears in the "Accounts and Import" tab in Gmail web; it causes Gmail to periodically retrieve emails from an external server using POP, and merge them into my main inbox. This article refers to the option "Check mail from other accounts", which matches, but also says "POP only works with a single device", which is false (wrt this feature) and makes me think it may be talking about something different.

I'm hearing about this for the first time from HN (not from Google). I don't like having Google randomly drop IT tasks on my plate, and the possibility that emails might just silently stop being delivered is nighmarish. Sigh.

A few things!

I want to bring their bikepacking adventures alive in a story format. Cycling trips are often not Monday to Sunday. They might be a few weeks! Everything is geared towards performance. This misses the mark a little bit. I made this app to stitch a trip together. It also has a comparison engine which asks questions like - how many doughnuts? - to translate the trip into things everyone will understand.

https://probe.bike

Turns out HPC GPUs and systems are realllllly hard to find reliabile information about. I've built another project which aims to make this easier. Compare HPC GPUs, Power et al in a single page. Working on a calculator to determine how many FLOPS or GW your DC can do. Executives loveeee this!

True story - I know a guy who built an application using Excel for tracking toll charges for car rentals back in the early 2000's. Over time he built out a team and an application. Piece by piece he automated things, but he initially did everything by hand, tracked it in Excel and printed it in PDFs out to his customers for reconciliation.

He sold the business for $400M. No outside capital, he was the only owner.

> You’ll say, “They got lucky, it had to happen, if not them someone else.

Well. If you look at the previous examples of sudden technological breakthroughs, it's kind of amazing how many things were suddenly invented almost simultaneously yet independently.

But then, of course, some things just straight up failed to be invented e.g. Chinese-style wheelbarrow in the West.

IDK if it says something about me, but my first couple tries at the game I misunderstood what masking was.

I thought when my Masking score went down, it meant I was showing my true colors too much and exposing myself as autistic (to the detriment of my career). Took me a minute to realize it was the opposite.

The networking stuff seems....odd.

'Networking was a substantial cost and required experimentation. We did not use DHCP as most enterprise switches don’t support it and we wanted public IPs for the nodes for convenient and performant access from our servers. While this is an area where we would have saved time with a cloud solution, we had our networking up within days and kinks ironed out within ~3 weeks.'

Where does the switch choice come into whether you DHCP? Wth would you want public IPs.

My use case is scientific computing and for that Python is excellent thanks to Numpy, IPython and Numba. It's often possible to write code that is nearly as fast as C, but it's far easier to write and debug, since you can just inspect and run code snippets in the shell. In that regard, it's similar to MATLAB, but it's FOSS and faster with the right libraries.

>If they could get the weight down I'd buy it in a heartbeat. The problem it solves (for me, or at least would solve if it didn't weigh so damned much) is having effectively a giant monitor that I can use on a plane.

If they could get the weight down, the size down, the cost down, it might have a market. But with the R&D of a trillion dollar company they've been unable to do any of those things.

Mass adoption would require the thing to be the price of a gaming console which is almost a 90% price reduction from where it sits today, while making it smaller and lighter.

Good luck to Apple.

Aren't those netapp shelves pretty old at this point? See a lot of people recommending against them even for homelab type uses. You can get those 60 drive SuperMicro JBODs for pretty cheap now, and those aren't too old, would have been my choice.

Plus, the TCO is already way under the cloud equiv. so might as well spend a little more to get something much newer and more reliable

This reminds me of a similar article that might have been posted on here about tech now focusing on hype as the product.

https://rys.io/en/180.html#hype-is-the-product

> In fact, increasingly, hype is the only thing that counts, as larger and larger chunk of investment money is chasing it – to the detriment of everything else that happens not to bolt the hyped tech onto its unrelated but otherwise solid product or service.

> The bubble grows. The line goes up.

> Because the hype is the product.

This is because autistism advocacy groups misuse the word mask. It is supposed to refer to extra work you have to do playing a specific persona. E.g. at a party pretending to be a character from a movie or a book. And especially trying to force yourself to become that persona to fit in.

A lot of people in the advocacy space use it to mean basic things like being well behaved or being nice to people. Everybody has to be well-behaved at work. Everybody has to consider the feelings of others etc.

The idea of "wearing a mask" in the sense of being polite is older than the notion of masking in autism. For example, P. G. Wodehouse used it a few times in the 1920s to refer to the social expectations made on aristocratic families. E.g. from 1922:

> I didn’t like the chap, but we Woosters can wear the mask. I beamed a bit.

In this sense everyone masks. In fact they mask almost all the time from the time they get up until maybe the time they go to bad. Masking in autism originally referred to something different that was specific to autism.

The way it's used now it essentially just means "it's harder for me to fit in." Which is true but doesn't tell you anything about autism from a psychological point of view beyond the obvious fact that it's harder for us to fit in.

Tribeless suits me just fine.

The whole reason I avoid politics is because it's not solution oriented. I don't get the feeling people discussing politics are trying to solve any problems, they're just fighting a tribal war, to have their tribe win over the other tribe(s).

Tribe cohesion seems to be valued waay higher than end results, and I'm a results-oriented person, so politics just isn't an attractive passtime to me. I also detest fighting/bickering, and I think it's not entirely unfair to describe politics as a bickering contest.
