Indie devs with a upcoming Steam hit looking for a 1-year sponsor for a genuinely fun game that also teaches your tech.

**

Location: US (remote); Relocation: No; Tech: Various; Email: me@beasthacker.com

**

Résumé / CV: My brother and I are indie game developers. Latest game demo hit 5-figure wishlists in ~week and got organic coverage from several biggest gaming YouTubers. Full launch is planned for March, so we’re looking to identify our next project and start work around April.

We want to spend a year making an edutainment game that’s actually fun and actually teaches a real technology to a deep level (programming language, devtool, front/back-end skill, etc.). We’re open to building around a sponsor’s passions (e.g., “Paul Graham funds a lisp game”) or talk with devtool companies that want a playful, high-quality way for people to learn their tech. We're NOT interested in working on a game that focuses on AI or crypto.

To clarify expectations: * We keep full creative control and publish under our own name. * Sponsor provides 1-year stipends, a Steam marketing budget, and SME/resource support so we are equipped to represent the tech accurately.

If that sounds interesting, let’s talk.

Where does the software come from? Your iPhone can’t magically intercept communications and send it to China without the embedded software. If Apple can’t verify the integrity of its operating system before it is installed on iPhones. There are some huge issues.

Even if China did manage to embed software on the iPhone in Taiwan, it would soon hopefully be wiped since you usually end up updating the OS anyway as soon as you activate it.

Considering the distance from one delivery to the next in a van is short, and the warehouse to town distance is split via a hundred packages, it just has to be the electric van. Maybe things will make more sense if the drone can carry 20 lightweight packages. But even then you gotta wonder how much energy it takes to hover/fight gravity the entirety of the trip.

It’s relevant because while the comment says that “they’re okay giving up buying first-class tickets” what they really imply is that they want everyone to give up buying first class tickets.

If they want to constrain their own choices to help a nameless “someone,” they can literally do that themselves without involving the taxpayer at large. Just send the check to HHS or to a specific charity or individual.

> (this one is arguably necessary, but they made it complicated, especially if you want to send logs to a centralized remote location or use another utility to view logs)

It is not complicated at all. Recent enough versions of systemd support journal forwarding, but even without it, configuring rsyslog is extremely easy:

1. Install rsyslog

2. Create a file /etc/rsyslog.d/forwarding.conf

$ActionForwardDefaultTemplate RSYSLOG_ForwardFormat *.* @@${your-syslog-server-here}:514

3. Restart rsyslog

4. Profit.

Yeah, people differ, and there are different forces that can increase and decrease productivity in an office and at home. If I'm honest with myself, being remote gives me more opportunity to slack off and do whatever I want, which often is not really working. But if I'm in an office I also am less able to get in a flow state.

An ideal working environment for me would probably be working from home, alone, perhaps with some stimulants (I have severe ADHD, or at least am diagnosed as having it and perceive myself as having), a close deadline, a lot of intrinsic motivation and interest in a task, and no distractions. In practice, most of the time I find working on a laptop at a library or cafe or on a laptop/desktop in an office does push me to do more work-related stuff more frequently on an average day, since I know people near me may notice I'm spending ages on Twitter or HN or whatever and that somewhat discourages me from doing non-work things.

I don't think you deserve to have been downvoted. I love having a work-from-home job and love that I was able to get one pre-pandemic, but I also don't necessarily blame higher-ups for wanting more people to work in an office. It's complicated.

He did not raise $230m for a wallpaper app, that is referring to Humane raising $230m and their failure supposedly being MKBHD's fault.

> He’s so influential that some blamed his commentary on Humane AI and Fisker for those companies’ eventual failures. (We think the real issue is that you shouldn’t raise $230 million if you have no product.)

About 15 years ago I had a Dell, then two Asus, and about 6 years ago I bought a Lenovo Thinkpad (T490), which I still use. The Thinkpad was a major step up in quality compared to everything I had before - I haven't even needed to replace the battery, though I think it has dropped from around 5 hours to 3-4 (I unplug it multiple times a day, every day, to use it in the kitchen or while sitting on a couch).

According to the blogpost, these are fully autonomous exploits, not merely discovered bugs. The LLM's success was measured by much money it was able to extract:

>A second motivation for evaluating exploitation capabilities in dollars stolen rather than attack success rate (ASR) is that ASR ignores how effectively an agent can monetize a vulnerability once it finds one. Two agents can both "solve" the same problem, yet extract vastly different amounts of value. For example, on the benchmark problem "FPC", GPT-5 exploited $1.12M in simulated stolen funds, while Opus 4.5 exploited $3.5M. Opus 4.5 was substantially better at maximizing the revenue per exploit by systematically exploring and attacking many smart contracts affected by the same vulnerability.

They also found new bugs in real smart contracts:

>Going beyond retrospective analysis, we evaluated both Sonnet 4.5 and GPT-5 in simulation against 2,849 recently deployed contracts without any known vulnerabilities. Both agents uncovered two novel zero-day vulnerabilities and produced exploits worth $3,694.

In over a decade, the only time I hit that cap was because I let my kid watch too many videos on it.

5 GB is pretty reasonable for the bulk of the country. The only common things that can make it go over are games and streaming - both of which really are luxuries if you simply can't wait till you have Wifi access. So yeah - of course you should pay a lot more if you insist on doing those things.

I did a pretty deep dive into this recently, although haven't yet started any implementation work. As far as I can tell, the best strategy that preserves Linux's open-source and user-empowering ideals as much as possible:

- The game obviously needs to run as root, at least until large amounts of this stuff gets upstreamed into the kernel.

- We're going to be leaving the kernel and boot as untrusted, but injecting a hypervisor underneath the running kernel that is responsible for protecting most pages of game memory. This allows users to still run whatever kernel they want.

- The hypervisor sets up two sets of page tables, one that's only active when the game's thread is running and in userspace, one that hides protected pages and is active when the kernel or other threads are running. Note that game code itself needs to get decrypted into protected ram.

- The TPM of the system gets involved when we jump into the hypervisor to attest that the hypervisor is actually running, and the hypervisor then provides attestations to userspace that certain memory regions are protected from kernel or other thread access.

- Any syscalls will fail if they require the kernel to read or write pages that are protected. The game needs to allocate data that should be shared with the kernel into non-protected pages.

- When the game is closed, we can remove the hypervisor and Linux will be back to bare metal operation. This should be unobservable to the rest of the system.

This architecture preserves the ability of users to run arbitrary kernel modules, but does mean a hypothetical attacker can observe data that passes through the kernel (like draw calls/pixels). It's likely that a more complete implementation would also want some way for the hypervisor to attest to the accuracy of keyboard/mouse input and interface with iommu configuration like Windows KAC does.

I see hardest job market ever. Since 2023 I had ~dozen interviews and 0% up to offer pass rate (half fully passed interviews, with no offer at the end due to variety of cases like money change of mind, other candidates won, ghosting,..)! Up to recent couple years I had over 90% interview passing rate, even in dot com and 2010 (when I had 6 companies interview with 6 offers). I am 55y with rich experience vertically (from low level to high level) and horizontally (multimedia, high tech, many platforms and OS's, major programming languages and few good to pass hard leetcode like interviews). I am better than ever with my skills. (btw leetcode is "disease" and counterproductive the way it is used, I have to say that as that might be part of deeper explanation and I pass it majority of the times, although had few "walk on water" type that maybe only "Jesus of coding" could pass or maybe even he could not)

ASN.1 has too much stuff. The moment you write "I made ASN.1 decoder/encoder", someone will throw TeletexString or BMPString at it. Or inheritance, as morshu9001 sad. So at this point:

- You can support all those features, and your ASM.1 library will be horribly bloated and over-engineered.

- You can support your favorite subset, but then you cannot say it's ASN.1 anymore. It will be "ASN.brabel", which only has one implementation (yours). And who wants that?

(unless you are Google and have immense developer influence... But in this case, why not design things from scratch, since we are making all-new protocol anyway?)

Several of your comments in this subthread have broken the guidelines. The guidelines ask us not to use HN for political/ideological battle and to "assume good faith". They ask us to "be kind", "eschew flamebait", and ask that "comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less as a topic gets more divisive."

The topic itself, like any topic, is fine to discuss here, but care must be taken to discuss it in a de-escalatory way. The words you use and the way you use them matter.

Most importantly, it's not OK to write "it is however entirely reasonable to assume that the comment I replied to was made entirely in bad faith". That's a swipe and a personal attack that, as the guidelines ask, should be edited out.

My old boss wrote COBOL code for a core finance process… in 1975, well before I was born. He retired in 2019, and that code is still there with a few mods and probably will remain for another decade.

In fairness, it’s pretty fundamental stuff. But… the company has been working on moving to some Oracle bs for 5-6 years.

Reading this made me wonder if I have an alt account that I forgot about, because this is exactly how I think about our current state.

Hey, remote work isn't productive, lets go into an office and push all our code to github and deploy to Linux (both largely developed by distributed teams, thankfully without Zoom).

But you are right, organizational and productivity theater dominate at many companies.

Show HN: WizWhisp – Offline, Whisper Transcription GUI for Windows
by logicflux | 2025-12-02 01:50:43+00:00
Hey HN,

I’ve been working on WizWhisp, a Windows desktop app for running OpenAI’s Whisper locally. I wanted something native, simple, and privacy-friendly. Existing tools are great but didn’t quite fit what I needed, so I built my own.

What it does:

Drag in audio/video and get transcripts (TXT, SRT, VTT).

Runs Whisper 100% offline.

Uses CUDA if you have an Nvidia GPU; otherwise falls back to CPU.

Handles long recordings.

Tech: C# + WinUI3 for UI, whisper.cpp for inference.

Business model: Free for standard transcription. A one-time Pro upgrade (no subscription) unlocks batch processing and removes the length limit when using the Large model.

Happy to hear any feedback or feature ideas.

The Supreme Court is not “a political opponent.” It’s literally the way the country works. It found the requirements for states to participate to be unconstitutional. In fact, it was also SCOTUS who eventually determined in 2012 that the individual mandate penalty was functioning as a tax for constitutional purposes. This was the basis for upholding the law. The mandate itself was not upheld under the Commerce Clause but survived because the financial penalty was deemed a tax.

The whole ethereum fork was such a funny situation.

"Our currency is immutable and all, no banks or any law messing with your money"

"oh, but that contract that people got conned by need to be fixed, let's throw all promises into the trash and undo that"

"...so you just acted as bank or regulators would, because the Important People lost some money"

"essentially yeah"

That's crazy, I looked it up and the average cost for a hip replacement here in the private system in Australia is about $24k (US$16k).

You can get it for basically nothing in the public system but you might have to wait a year or so if it's considered elective (emergency surgery is immediate of course), but most people with private health insurance can get the procedure done within in a few weeks and would only have to pay about $1000 (US$650) out of pocket with a $500 excess (which is pretty common), because the anaesthetist and surgery are usually invoiced separately. Some plans do have lower excesses (like $350) though if you pay higher premiums.

> My favourite part of climbing the corporate ladder is finally having enough clout to just say "no".

But the thing is, in big companies, you can keep climbing all your life and never reach that level. You can be a VP and it still doesn't matter, because you're one of several hundred VPs in a company that values lawsuit-proof consistency over giving executives infinite latitude. You're still dealing with the same spreadsheets, processes, and meetings as everyone else. At best, you might be able to send your minions to some, but that doesn't solve the issue, it just messes up someone else's day.

In a company of several hundred people, on the other hand, you don't really need to climb far because relatively little is set in stone. So to folks who are at Amazon, Microsoft, or Google, and who're waiting for the day when they're finally free to say "no" to overhead, I have bad news.

On the other hand, I live in Norway. Bits like healthcare and a good safety net makes things nicer. I'm from the US originally. This nice stuff could be adapted for the US if folks would put their energy into helping others rather than spite.

Mismanagement of resources is bad no matter what system is used. Just because some under one sort of ideology and corrupt leaders failed doesn't mean that folks can't take the bits that were good, adapt and improve them, and see good results.

A fully feared tricycle recumbent will get you killed in a city with poor bike-ability. I have friends that have been in the hospital for weeks because of bike accidents in SF and NYC, which are arguably the exact kinds of places where you'd want bikes to replace cars. But instead, we have "Vision Zero" projects that still have staggeringly far to go.

I don't disagree with you: it would be great if we could replace more cars with bikes, but the reality is that there's almost nothing serious we can do in the US to undo the omnipresence of massive vehicles in most cities.

Tahoe has been giving spinning wheel on Firefox browser since updating it. You switch from spotlight to Firefox, there's the wheel; leave computer alone for sometime and comeback there's the wheel. I want this mess fixed.

Similarly on iOS, Safari bookmarks don't expose all folder names but only "Bookmarks" and "Favourites" as default. Why do I have to do another extra tap to expose a single folder that I have to save bookmark in? Why cannot at least five folder names be exposed? Another absurdity is while saving a fullpage screenshot after cropping it, you have to click the checkmark "emoji" which is otherwise blank with no description, and then comes a sub-menu to save as pdf or photo; why cannot those four options be presented as is on the main menu?

>> UBI could work if all its redistribution was not immediately captured by landowners.

Doesnt this happen now because we're all so tethered to HCOL cities? With UBI presumably people would be geographically free, and there is a lot of inexpensive land and housing around the country. Doesnt the capture problem only happen due to scarcity in HCOL cities and thus not an issue?

> It is US warmongering ideology that tries to equate these concepts

Please don't engage in political battle here, including singling out a country for this kind of criticism. No matter how right you are or feel you are, it inevitably leads to geopolitical flamewar, which has happened here.

The context I'm pulling in is by the caps in the comment I initially replied to, would tolerate someone declining EVERY MEETING. Note the caps.

As far as the GP, what I'm getting at is that they are tediously nitpicking my phrasing rather than addressing my point. If there are some meetings that make sense to spend your time on, (in the context of my comment) what the fuck does it matter if there are also some that it doesn't.

If they think they have never spent their time well on a meeting, an explication of that would be more interesting than saying that they can find better things to do than attend some meetings.

What are you talking about.

When people talk about scaling requirements they are not referring to minutiae like "this function needs X CPU per request and this other function needs Y CPU per request", they are talking about whether particular endpoints are primarily constrained by different things (i.e. CPU vs memory vs disk). This is important because if I need to scale up machines for one endpoint that requires X CPU but the same service has another endpoint requiring Y memory whereas my original service only needs Z memory and Y is significantly larger than Z then suddenly you have to pay a bunch of extra money to scale up your CPU-bound endpoint because you are co-hosting it with a memory-bound endpoint.

If all your endpoints just do some different logic and all hit a few redis endpoints, run a few postgres queries, and assemble results then keep them all together!!!

EDIT: my original post even included the phrase "significantly different" to describe when you should split a service!!! It's like you decided to have an argument with someone else you've met in your life, but directed it at me

We just demonstrated that the “fundamental constants” of physics (the fine structure constant α ≈ 1/137, the mass ratios of particles, and mathematical constants like π and e) are not arbitrary numbers that need to be measured. They are eigenvalue ratios of a specific topological manifold — the Akatalêptos — and can be computed from pure geometry to machine precision.

I woke up Sunday morning ready to schedule my week at NeurIPS. To my immediate horror, the NeurIPS.cc poster sessions have 1k+ posters in a stupid little dropdown. So I built a little app to help navigate them by research area/keywords/etc. Built it in a few hours with codex, gemini-cli, and Claude code. Same stack that produced 50% of the papers at NeurIPS ;)
