Kadoa | Web Scraping/Software Engineer | Remote | Full-Time | https://kadoa.com

We’re automating web scraping at scale with AI. Web scraping used to be the same for decades (writing and maintaining rule-based scripts for each source), and we're fully automating that process with LLMs. We're also heavily focused on making ethical scraping the default (robots.txt checks, rate limiting, any custom compliance rules).

But we can't do it alone. We are looking for people who share our passion for software craftsmanship, data, and AI. We are growing fast, have a “no-bullshit” policy, and try to minimize the distance between the code you write and the customers who use it. We iterate to greatness :)

We're currently looking for a senior web scraping engineer: https://www.kadoa.com/careers/web-scraping-engineer

If that sounds like you, please email me at (adrian at kadoa dot com) and mention HN in the subject line. Ideally you include an ETL or scraping project you've been working on in the past.

I just took a look at our annual medical contributions and employer's part.

We pay just over 10k for health insurance through our (different) companies. Our different employers cover almost 28k. So around 38k for insurance. This doesn't even include dental or vision which is separate.

It just seems so crazy how much we pay and still have deductibles. I understand we have small copays and get items covered like age-related screenings but this just feels excessive.

Wow. Talk about inefficiency. It just said the same thing I did, but using twenty times as many characters.

>Yes and no: There's still a rather large latency improvement even when you're using plain HTTP (not that you should go without encryption).

Of course. An unencrypted HTTP request takes a single roundtrip to complete. The client sends the request and receives the response. The only additional cost is to set up the connection, which is also saved when the connection is kept open with a websocket.

Yes, I agree. I was careful about how I worded this to avoid saying anything about the motors actually being in the wheels for this reason.

Although, I guess at some point in the future if we can get the weight down low enough and the strength of the motor high enough we could replace the existing braking system with a motor for the same weight penalty we already pay.

In an ideal world all the energy from breaking would be used for regen anyway.

I'm not sure how close we are to that but it's an interesting thought experiment thinking about the trade offs we might be able to make in future.

There are best or accepted practices in every field.

And in every field they work well for the average case, but are rarely the best fit for that specific scenario. And in some rare scenarios, doing the opposite is the solution that fits best the individual/team/project.

The interesting takeaway here is that crowd wisdom should be given weight and probably defaulted if we want to turn off our brains. But if you turn on your brain you will unavoidably see the many cracks that those solutions bring for your specific problem.

I see Ghostty does not support (and does not plan on adding support for) Sixels, instead preferring the Kitty image protocol.

Now if the Kitty image protocol is so great and the Sixel stuff is so bad, ~~why is it only used in Kitty and Ghostty?~~

*Edit: it's also supported in Konsole, WezTerm, ... but still I'm interested in why we have 2 competing protocols right now.

You wrote this comment under and article about Gemma, an open weights model which anyone can download and run at home.

Here is more info and links to the models, so you can interrogate them about Senatorial scandals on your hardware at home.

https://huggingface.co/blog/gemma

Your claim was so far from the truth of reality, that now, it's incumbent upon you to go back through the chain of faulty reasoning. You took it for granted that a conspiracy theory about suppressing information was true, when actually, the same Gemma model was already open-weighted by the same conspirators who you accuse of keeping Gemma out of regular peoples' reach

Highly-experienced principal software engineer (and sometimes co-founder or founding engineer) who likes to get their hands dirty, whether it's doing "all the things" in a startup, helping an entire company to work together effectively, or focusing on designing and implementing that one piece that really must work correctly+reliably+securely+maintainably.

"Science", "Research", and "Study" (as in scholarly study, not as in test prep) are often related and intertwined, but aren't the same things.

You can do historical research that is clearly scholarly, but not scientific.

You can use the scientific method for non-research purposes. And you can perform scholarly study without doing research or science.

Because there is no isolation whatsoever. A terminal running as root can just be typed into. Some apps can be coerced into code execution when messaging them over X11. You might have to get a little creative, but there's a lot of room for creativity.

Needless to say, though, if the user doesn't have anything open with root privileges or cached sudo, then you probably won't be escalating to root with only X11. You'd have to wait for something to crop up. I'd reckon though if you are resident for long enough during a desktop session you'll find an opportunity. (And on most desktop systems that still, of course, leaves the usual points of interest outside X11. But if you wanted a way to escape, say, Flatpak containment, this is definitely a good start.)

> whereas Gruyère has no holes

TIL that Gruyere from France is different to Swiss and it must have holes.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gruy%C3%A8re_cheese > The PGI documentation also requires that French Gruyère has holes "ranging in size from that of a pea to a cherry", a significant departure from the Swiss original. Peter Ungphakorn, a Swiss local and an international trade expert, comments that the French Comté cheese could be a closer match to the Swiss version.

And there is a good image of Gruyere with holes here, https://classicfinefoods.co.uk/dairy/5713-french-gruyere-pgi...

It's the only social media I use. I used to use Reddit too, until they blocked usability/accessibility tools.

YouTube has social media features, but they languish in comparison to its use as a video broadcasting platform. I suppose for people who regularly comment and chat on streams, YouTube is a social media platform, but for the vast majority of its user base, it's more like Netflix than Twitter.

Allies are those who fight together.

The ones who are like "man, fight alone and we'll mock you for military spending" - are not. The ones who are like "yo we kinda support you in a fight, but we'll also pump money into your enemy" - are not either.

But I sorta agree to your point, current administration screw up their allies really hard, although I see it more like very bitter pill that hurts before healing.

> The only reason for being wedded to Ubuntu

The other reason is because it's the only approved distribution your company's IT department allows. Or the only distro your company's mandatory "security" software runs on. Etc. It's dysfunctional, but "enterprise" tends to mean "ancient 'stable' distribution if Linux is allowed at all" which in turn means "system python isn't useful, even if using it wouldn't break the system".

This week I wrote about my experiences with technical and architectural debt. When I was a developer we used to distinguish between code debt (temporary hacks) and architectural debt (structural decisions that bite you later). But in enterprise architecture, it goes way beyond technical implementation.

To me architectural debt is found on all layers.

Application/Infrastructure layer: This is about integration patterns, system overlap, and vendor lock-in. Not the code itself, but how applications interact with each other. Debt here directly hits operations through increased costs and slower delivery.

Business layer: This covers ownership, stewardship, and process documentation. When business processes are outdated or phantom processes exist, people work under wrong assumptions. Projects start on the back foot before they even begin. Issues here multiply operational problems.

Strategy layer: The most damaging level. If your business capability maps are outdated or misaligned, you're basing 3-5 year strategies on wrong assumptions. This blocks transformation and can make bad long-term strategy look appealing.

Maybe I'm an outlier here (but I don't think so...) in that CarPlay is an absolute non-negotiable. I don't care (and don't really want...) it to handle climate control, but music, podcasts, weather, messaging, phone, and navigation? Heck yes. The built-in systems are bollocks and 99% of the planet has already committed to Android or Apple for these features in the rest of their outside-the-car life, so the dumbest thing any auto manufacturer could do is push against the tide.

A few years ago I was evaluating options to move away from a deprecated external latex library my company relied on in Confluence, and tested Notion. I was super impressed at the rendering speed of their latex implementation (KaTex of course). As other have mentioned, not everything is there, but it was sufficiently good for our purposes. The switch was a pain, I hoped that Notion had good tools to move over from Confluence, but we had to do a custom job relying on sketchy undocumented APIs

Images as in "pictures" or is that something else? I'm using Alacritty, and I don't think I've once thought "I need to see this image inside the terminal" and I do deal with images and frames from videos a lot. Probably if I saw it being added to Alacritty I'd think it was adding unnecessary bloat, so I wouldn't be surprised not every terminal is rushing to implement it.

Or I completely misunderstand what you're talking about.

yes.

If you had actually read the post you would have understood there are ways to ditch GCP, but they are perceived as cumbersome.

The exaple is OpenID Connect. It works well with Azure (according to the post).

I'm sorry to say this, but the author is choosing something easy but unrealiable over something a bit more complicated but reliable.

It's really the author's fault. They are choosing their comfort over the service reliability (and keeping promises made to customers).

Heck they might even go with api keys. They could give explicit direction on the minimal amount of permissions the api key would need and they could ping the users each 3-4 months to rotate them.

But no, I guess we'll have another post at some point about the fourth (definitive?) account suspension.

Many of the concerns in the article could be addressed by standing up a separate PG database that's used exclusively for vector ops and then not using it for your relational data. Then your vector use cases get served from your vector DB and your relational use cases get served from your relational DB. Separating concerns like that doesn't solve the underlying concern but it limits the blast radius so you can operate in a degraded state instead of falling over completely.

> OECD Health Statistics data show U.S. registered nurses (RNs) earn 1.5 times the OECD12 average salary. These data are adjusted for purchasing power parity. Using numbers of RNs in the U.S. from the Bureau of Labor Statistics,22 we computed total RN earnings using average U.S. pay and OECD12 average pay. The difference was $79 billion, or about 2 percent of 2021 NHE, representing approximately 5 percent of excess U.S. spending when rounded to the nearest multiple of five.

It's not nothing, but it's hardly the only reason, or even a particularly big one.

Maybe... I think it would definitely help. I think just driving a smaller car that puts you in control might cause a lot of people to switch. I know that when I've done the opposite; gone from a very performance oriented car to a random person's SUV, I've felt extremely unsafe comparatively in breaking, merging, changing lanes, parking, etc. etc. I think most people just have little experience to compare it to anymore.

I also think it's odd that people don't already choose other options w/o a tax in place, considering the price of a bigger vehicle is almost always just going to be higher because of materials and a bunch of other factors.

All this hypothetical tells us is that you're young, healthy, single, and have a good income. Which is exactly the issue with our health system -- it only works when you don't get sick.

The median household income in the US is $83k. That's for a whole family. I would challenge you to come up with a monthly budget for four people that can support anything like $1000 a month for insurance (which for a family is actually going to be more like $2000) OR handle multiple $200 doctor visits per month. And mind you there is no such things as a doctor visit that costs only $200 unless you're talking about a routine physical. Because the first thing that happens when you're sick is the doctor starts ordering tests and referring you to specialists. And let's hope nobody needs a prescription!

And then you find what life looks like for 150 million Americans -- you're constantly putting off healthcare until it becomes an emergency. You're gambling with your own life and the life of your children trying to not go bankrupt.

10 lbs per motor in an aircraft is huge. And the fact that they can do it WITHOUT having to use more expensive materials or manufacturing or amenities is the thing that is huge about it.

It's a fair take on your responses because talking about a SINGLE motor is missing the point. You're not engaging with the actual point that OP made, you're trying to dispute OP by engaging in your own point about what difference this would make in single-motor cars, instead of what difference it will make in general.
