I am about to complete my PhD focused on unsupervised learning method development and application to large biological data. I have an MSc in experimental neurology and a BSc in chemistry (specialized in quantum/computational chemistry). I am very proficient with R and maintain a package on CRAN used by multiple research groups for clustering clinical patient data. I have a strong foundation in math and statistical learning theory. I'm open to applying my data analysis / statistics / technical writing skills just about anything (in Canada).

I'm not sure.

Think of the Game hits from the 90's. A room full of people made games which shaped a generation. Maybe it was orders of magnitude harder then, but today, it's multiple orders of magnitude more people required to make them.

Same is true for websites. Sure, the websites were dingy with poor UX and oodles of bugs... but the size of the team required to make them was absolutely tiny compared to today.

Things are simultaneously the best they've ever been, and the worst they've ever been, it's a weird situation to be in for sure.

But truthfully; orders of magnitude more powerful hardware was the real unlock.

Why is slack and discord popular? Because it's possible to use multiple gigabytes of ram for a chat client.

25 years ago? Multiple gigabytes of ram put your machine firmly in the "I have unlimited money and am probably a server doing millions of things" class.

I needed to track the growth of "tx_ucast_packets" in each queue on a network interface earlier.

I asked my friendly LLM to run every second and dump the delta for each queue into a csv, 10 seconds to write what I wanted, 5 seconds later to run it, then another 10 seconds to reformat it after looking at the output.

It had hardcoded the interface, which is what I told it to do, but I'm happy with it and want to change the interface, so again 5 seconds of typing and it's using argparse to take in a bunch of variables.

That task would have taken me far longer than 30 seconds to do 5 years ago.

Now if only AI can reproduce the intermittent problem with packet ordering I've been chasing down today.

> We're also excited to show more people what's now possible with Codex . For a limited time we're including Codex with ChatGPT Free and Go, and we're doubling the rate limits on Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, and Edu plans.

Translated from Marketingspeak, this is presumably "we're also desperate for some people to actually use it because everyone shrugged and went back to Claude Code when we released it".

This is a good way to benchmark models. We [the SWE-bench team] took the meta-version of this and implemented it as a new benchmark called CodeClash -

We have agents implement agents that play games against each other- so Claude isn't playing against GPT, but an agent written by Claude plays poker against an agent written by GPT, and this really tough task leads to very interesting findings on AI for coding.

> there's also a place for a hot mess that barely passes its own non-existing tests

For a long time that place has been "the commercial software marketplace". Let's all stop pretending that the code coming out of shops until now has been something you'd find at a guild craft expo. It's always been a ball of spit and duct tape, which is why AI code is often spit and duct tape.

But do bitwise copies when moving not also possibly incur that, even without Copy? If the optimizer doesn't optimize it away? Since movement can happen by copying bits and releasing the old bits, as long as there is no UnsafeCell in the type, or something along those lines?

What does "high performance" mean here?

I get 40 Gbit/s over a single localhost TCP stream on my 10 years old laptop with iperf3.

So the TCP does not seem to be a bottleneck if 40 Gbit/s is "high" enough, which it probably is currently for most people.

I have also seen plenty situations in which TCP is faster than UDP in datacenters.

For example, on Hetzner Cloud VMs, iperf3 gets me 7 Gbit/s over TCP but only 1.5 Gbit/s over UDP. On Hetzner dedicated servers with 10 Gbit links, I get 10 Gbit/s over TCP but only 4.5 Gbit/s over UDP. But this could also be due to my use of iperf3 or its implementation.

I also suspect that TCP being a protocol whose state is inspectable by the network equipment between endpoints allows implementing higher performance, but I have not validated if that is done.

Genuinely excited to try this out. I've started using Codex much more heavily in the past two months and honestly, it's been shockingly good. Not perfect mind you, but it keeps impressing me with what it's able to "get". It often gets stuff wrong, and at times runs with faulty assumptions, but overall it's no worse than having average L3-L4 engs at your disposal.

That being said, the app is stuck at the launch screen, with "Loading projects..." taking forever...

Edit: A lot of links to documentation aren't working yet. E.g.: https://developers.openai.com/codex/guides/environments. My current setup involves having a bunch of different environments in their own VMs using Tart and using VS Code Remote for each of them. I'm not married to that setup, but I'm curious how it handles multiple environments.

Edit 2: Link is working now. Looks like I might have to tweak my setup to have port offsets instead of running VMs.

This community and others like it are so weird in that if they see something as stable as sudo but without recent commits, rather than conclude that it's solid and doesn't need further changes, they see it as some kind of a problem and want to switch to something that's seen major changes in the last week.

Maybe that's somehow related to why so many companies are shoving AI into a bunch of stuff that doesn't need it. Gotta keep everything on the hype train. Working and fulfilling people's needs is no longer good enough.

> I definitely think a lot of junior tasks are being replaced with AI

one last thing to point out then my lunch is over. I think AI coding agents are going to hit services/marketplaces like Fiverr especially hard. I think the AI agents are the new gig-economy with respect to code, I spent about $50 on Claude Code pay-as-you-go over the past 3 days to put together a website i've had in the back of my mind for months. Claude Code got it to a point where I can easily pick up and run with to finish it out over a few more nights/weekends. UI/UX is especially tedious for me and Claude Code was able to take my vague descriptions and make the interface nicely organized and contemporary. The architecture is perfectly reasonable for what i want to do ( Auth0 + react + python(flask) + postgres + an OAuth2 integration to a third party ). It got all of that about 95% right on the first try.. for $50!. Services/marketplaces like Fiverr have to be thinking really hard right now.

I could be wrong but I think that would first require legislation in all first world countries with some serious teeth to add headers or labels for any content that may be AI generated and then the browser updated to look for the header or label.

By serious teeth if a country contains a big platform that is not labeling correctly then after so many times they get fined millions then billions then sanctioned then embargoes after repeated offenses. Anything short of that in my opinion will be ignored as the cost of doing business.

It's basically what Emdash (https://www.emdash.sh/), Conductor (https://www.conductor.build/) & CO have been building but as first class product from OpenAI.

Begs the question if Anthropic will follow up with a first-class Claude Code "multi agent" (git worktree) app themselves.
Show HN: Screen Doctor – A lightweight pixel fixer built in Rust/Tauri
by ssullas | 2026-02-02 18:26:12+00:00
Hi guys,

I built Screen Doctor after dealing with stubborn dead pixels and annoying screen lines myself and realizing there wasn’t a simple, lightweight tool that just did the job perfectly.

I made this lightweight, fast utility tool using Tauri framework with React at frontend and Rust at backend.

Screen Doctor helps you:
Fight dead pixels, stuck pixels, and screen lines.
Run full-screen color cycles to revive stuck pixels.
Prevent further degradation of your display.
It’s free, open-source, and runs fully offline as a native desktop app.

I’d love your feedback. Especially:
Does this help diagnose your screen issues?
Any features you wish existed for display testing?
Ideas to make it more useful for designers, developers, or everyday users?

Thanks for checking it out, and happy to answer any questions

I don't know why any frontier model lab can't ship a mobile app that doesn't use a cloud VM but is able to connect to your laptop/server and work against local files on there when on the same network (e.g.: on TailScale). Or even better act as a remote control for a harness running on that remote device, so you couldn't seamlessly switch between phone and laptop/server.

I built a cross-assembler for the 6502/6510 while working on a C64 project. I switch between macOS and Linux frequently, and my previous setup didn't handle that well — so I wrote my own.

ASM64 is pure C99 with no dependencies beyond the standard library. It aims for ACME compatibility (same directive syntax, same output format), so existing projects should migrate easily.

Features: two-pass assembly, macros with local labels, conditional assembly, !for loops, pseudo-PC for relocatable code, illegal opcodes, automatic zero-page optimization, VICE-compatible symbol files.

I wrote about the development journey here: https://fredrikpaulin.hashnode.dev/building-asm64-a-modern-6...

The most interesting bug was in the !pseudopc implementation—tracking two program counters (real and virtual) across two passes has subtle gotchas.

- looks like OpenAIs answer to Claude Code Desktop / Cowork

- workspace agent runner apps (like Conductor) get more and more obsolete

- "vibe working" is becoming a thing - people use folder based agents to do their work (not just coding)

- new workflows seem to be evolving into folder based workspaces, where agents can self-configure MCP servers and skills + memory files and instructions

kinda interested to see if openai has the ideas & shipping power to compete with anthropic going forward; anthropic does not only have an edge over openai because of how op their models are at coding, but also because they innovate on workflows and ai tooling standards; openai so far has only followed in adoption (mcp, skills, now codex desktop) but rarely pushed the SOTA themselves.

That's funny, I did LFS a few years ago and specifically chose the systemd version so I could better understand it. I don't think this is a huge deal, I believe the older versions of the document that include SysVinit will still be available for a long time to come, and people who want it will figure out how to muddle through. If at some point in the future things diverge to such a point where that that becomes untenable, someone will step up and document how it is to be accomplished.
by embedding-shape | 2026-02-02 18:27:20+00:00
I dunno, feels like the models have different weak/strong points, sometimes I can sit with Claude Code for an hour with some issue, try it with Codex and have it solved in five minutes, and also the opposite happens. I tend to use Codex mostly when I care more about correctness and not missing anything, Claude when it's more important I do it fast and I know exactly what it needs to do, Codex seems to require less hand-holding. Of course, just anecdotal.

I am building this tool which converts bank statement pdfs to csv completely on the browser using WASM. The PDF is never uploaded to any server or shared with any AI.

I believe will be a very good tool for tax or bookkeeping purposes.

I have tried it with chase and wells fargo and other similar format banks, works well. Working to improve where ever it is breaking with other banks.

Please try and share your feedback

RCC (Recursive Collapse Constraints) proposes that LLM "hallucinations",
reasoning drift, and 8–12 step planning collapse are not training artifacts,
but geometric consequences of being an embedded, non-central observer.

Key idea:
When a system lacks access to its internal state, cannot observe its container,
and has no stable global reference frame, long-range self-consistency becomes
mathematically impossible.

In other words: these failure modes are not bugs — they are boundary conditions.

Full explanation + axioms in the link.

I click on Box pattern. It says that before trying the Box, one should master the HalfBox pattern. I want to see how the HalfBox pattern looks like, so I try to click on HalfBox, but it's not a hyperlink. So I look to the left, where Box is, and try to look for HalfBox under Box. It's not there (it's not even under the letter H, because it's under the number 441).

On the Box page, HalfBox is in a square frame on the top-right. If wikipedia were like this it would be unusable.

Show HN: Histomap Reborn – Interactive visualization of world history
by robotelvis | 2026-02-02 18:29:29+00:00
I built a fun little history visualization called Histomap Reborn, inspired by John Sparks’ 1931 Histomap. It shows the relative power of civilizations over time, plus layers for technology, fiction, important people, etc.

What I loved about the original Histomap was the way it made history feel like an interconnected whole rather than a series of disconnected facts. I wanted to update it for the modern era and make it interactive.

A few weeks ago I was interested in median price paid in the UK for property. I pulled down a 900,000 line csv from gov.uk and asked chapgpt to give me a python to parse it based on price (col 2) and county (col14), then output the 10,25,50,75,90 percentiles.

It dropped out a short file which used

from statistics import quantiles

Now maybe that python module isn't reliable, but as it's an idle curiosity I'm happy enough to trust it.

Now maybe I could import a million line spreadsheet and get that data out, but I'd normally tackle this with writing some python, which is what I asked it to do. It was far faster than me, even if I knew the statistics/quantiles module inside out.

Hey all, I have created Roami. I've found it useful when researching outings in Toronto, but would love your thoughts! It should work in any area or city!

Drained when researching:
- restaurant bookings?
- touristy group outings?
- date spot options?

Roami cross-references:
maps
web content
instagram
reservation info

- get relevant spots + itineraries
- refine outing requests in context

Real usage is the best + only way to improve AI agents
So don't hold back on feedback!!

Similarly sudo-rs and doas-rs exist now.

I'm not sure what can be gained for further development of the OG c sudo, security patches of course.

But fund adding yet another feature 99.9% of users will never use? I can't fathom the justification for that.

Rightly both doas and the *-rs drops ins intend to drop most of those unnecessary features.

I think the Gibson quote is applicable: "The future is already here – it's just not evenly distributed." Some people are going to remember the 2020's as a time that AI was new, and the eventual winners will look back with nostalgia at all the opportunity.

I remember happily going through these each day after school until I could do everything.

There wasn't much on YouTube at the time but I also think YouTube is a worse resource for pretty much all of these simple tricks. All you need is a slow loop to learn any ball juggling trick.

There was also a similar site that let you input siteswaps.

The noob gains once you get comfortable with 3 balls are addictive, compared to later patterns or tricks that can take hours, days or even weeks to pick up.
