I'm open to backend roles, including roles I've done before but haven't in a while like Data Science / Machine Learning. But I'm especially interested in a role where I could write technical blog posts for a company like DigitalOcean. I've been a partner at a small company before and I've been a CTO before, so if you have a small scrappy startup and you're looking for someone to hire juniors and to read through Pull Requests, I'm your man.

They are, of course, but there are two different consequences involved in this assessment. One is "stop nuclear weapons" (the converse would be "do not stop nuclear weapons") and the other is "friendly fire incidents" (the converse would be "no friendly fire incidents"). Neither are directly related to the other, since the former is specific to this engagement and the latter happens in any combat.

Really impressive stack — especially the quantization workflow with TensorRT/INT8 on Jetsons. We've been dealing with similar tradeoffs (speed vs segmentation accuracy) in other domain:

Curious — how many labeled fish images did you need before the quantized models stopped falling apart in production?

The endowment model is complementary to direct donations, which many of OSE donors make. For example, I did this a lot: https://kvinogradov.com/algo-sponsors. Some people do this privately, and the largest public case among our donors seems to be https://ziglang.org/news/300k-from-mitchellh/

It requires choosing projects, and most people don't have time for this.

But the main problem is that such funding is simply not sustainable: corporate annual budgets for OSS are volatile, and individual donations are extremely volatile. It is not great for the critical infrastructure we all rely on.

The Open Source Endowment enables truly sustainable funding and also decreases the entry barrier for new OSS donors because it does not require choosing a specific project. A la buying the S&P 500 ETF instead of stock picking.

> Congratulations, you managed to pick out the two projects in the set that make it merely "mostly" (instead of "entirely") frivolous.

Out of curiosity, which founding donors specifically would qualify under your criteria for a "serious" project? If the founders of HashiCorp, Elastic, ClickHouse, Supabase, Nginx, and curl seem like a mostly frivolous band to you...

Personal fresh-setup first steps:

• StartAllBack heavily modified for WinXP look-and-feel

• Win10Privacy (yes, it handles Win11), with all Windows Store apps yoinked except for store and media utilities

• Raphire/Win11Debloat

• builtbybel/WinSlop

That alone handles a majority of the rip-and-tear I have to do with a fresh Windows installation. Sure, there is a lot more after that, but these seem to handle at least ⅔ of all the heavy lifting.

So honestly, aside from the hour or two it takes to run all of these and confirm everything has been voilently excised, AI isn’t really a high concern for me.

Right now my short-term fear surrounds the OOBE blocking of local accounts on Home/Pro outside of domain usage. There are still workarounds, but who knows how long they’ll last. Currently trying to design a truly universal image that can be flashed/imaged such that any typical x64 system can at least boot into the Administrator account so that other local accounts can be made manually.

Disproven by whom and under which context?

> evidence from neuroimaging and neurological patients

Has "neuroimaging" successfully modelled those "universal human rights" the OP was mentioning? If yes, how did it look?

More generally, positing that all languages are, in the end, interchangeable (because that's what the opponents of something similar to Sapir-Worf are saying) is very reactionary and limited in itself, and its telling them me calling those anti-Sapir-Worf people "reactionaries" will for sure tickle in them something that wouldn't have happened had I used a different "neuoroimaged" concept which, supposedly, should have meant the same thing for them (but it doesn't).

Does Apple use some kind of mind-control rays?!?

Foldables are a growing market in Asia, where they are more widely available. They are quickly becoming a new status symbol, displacing Apple. Especially in China where the local phone manufacturers are now completely independent and free to experiment.

Apple somehow completely missed the plot (yet again) despite being having the largest tablet marketshare. Google, to their credit, is now pushing developers towards supporting dynamic screen dimensions.

My experience also. I could manually connect my Obsidian notes to my AI, sure, but what I did instead was writing "Obsidian just released a CLI headless sync tool, install it so we can use it" and in a minute it came back with "Ok, everything installed, I just need your login and password."

Dangerous? Yes, very, but it truly feels like living in the future. Surprisingly, it's even more fun that sci-fi movies made me think this would be.

> I think the more you can shift to compile time the better when it comes to agents

not born out by evidence. rust is bottom-mid tier on autocoderbenchmark. typescript is marginally bettee than js

shifting to compile time is not necessarily great, because the llm has to vibe its way through code in situ. if you have to have a compiler check your code it's already too late, and the llm does not havs your codebase in its weights, a fetch to read the types of your functions is context expensive since it's nonlocal.

> Now LLMs may not be a model for how we do it but they are certainly going to bring back structuralist and "wordcel" positions because they do seem to show, somehow, that "language is all you need" to accomplish whatever it is LLMs accomplish.

People will try to bring back these obviously false models of cognition, but, so far, the dismal performance of LLMs on e.g. SpatialBench [1], and, almost certainly ARC-AGI-3, or e.g. the kind of data and effort required to get something like V-JEPA-2 [2], will be strong counter-examples to this. And, yeah, obviously animal cognition, esp. smart animals like birds, or the crazy stuff we see in chimp and gorilla ethology (border patrols, genocides, humor, theory of mind, bla bla bla).

https://ando.work/ is revolutionizing life for 100Ms of hourly workers with shift schedules and assignments that fit their lives, their families, second+ jobs and hobbies, personalities, commutes, etc.

We're looking for a lead data/pipeline/integrations engineer who can help connect to POS, HR, ERP, etc. While LLMs will write the code of course, we need someone who understand the gestalt of integration, clean data, working with sometimes-difficult partners, workarounds for messy situations, scaling, etc.

We're also looking for algorithms engineers with experience in scheduling and assignment, but excited to take an LLM-first approach, which we've proven works in this case and blows away classical solvers. Yes, we've done the math on scaling.

Ando is a Seed stage startup, backed by SV insiders with delightful track records.

In theory, yes. But does that actually happen IRL? I've never heard of a lawyer getting disbarred for the quality of suits he or she is filing.

Many years ago in Northern CA we had a lawyer that was basically going around filing suits against everyone she came in contact with as a way to pay the bills. She was eventually declared a "vexatious litigant" and had to get a judge's permission before she could sue anyone in the future, but they didn't disbar her.

> Infinite regress is avoided by co-constraints, such as consistency and conservation.

You have to explain these constraints if you don't want them to be brute.

edit: > Edit: Sorry didn't see you had already replied.

It's cool. I don't understand the distinction you're trying to draw here about "zero information constraints".

edit:
> but harness them as a tautological universal constraint.

This just sounds like a brute contingent fact. It's almost the definition of a brute contingency, as far as I can tell.

In a world of print media and books, 20 year copyright makes sense; it gives the media time to disperse through the population, saturate, have whatever impact it will on the culture, and throughout that time, the originator can profit.

In a world where distribution of a novel the size of War and Peace takes less than a one second download, there's no value beyond gatekeeping and exclusivity that publishers and platforms can provide, and those are arbitrary and artificially imposed, and entirely unnecessary.

Copyright is fundamentally a ceding of power by a society to individuals, granting them permission to claim sole ownership of their writings for a period of time, preventing other people and institutions from plagiarizing the work. We, society, cede the right to freely exchange information in deference to the creators of different media so they have the opportunity to profit from it.

The value of media is independent from the commercial activity which copyright protects. Someone attempting to claim authorship of public domain works might do it better, or maybe they make it worse.

There's no other purpose to copyright when the internet exists. We've seen nearly 4 decades of what this sort of system does; it allows those with lots of resources and lawyers to extort and exploit those without on technicalities and gotchas. It enriches and rewards middlemen assholes without concurrent return of value to society. It results in brainless reshashes and remakes and protected IP franchises into milquetoast formulaic omnislop. Any sort of actual creativity and variety gets suppressed or outcompeted or even legally squashed, even on the off chance that it might negatively impact sales. Books and films get destroyed as tax writeoffs. Artists get their music and writing and entire life work hoarded away by some massive multibillion dollar corporation, and sometimes even left to rot and fade away to dust, never to appear again.

The purpose of a system is what it does. Your idea of a copyright system has been tried, and it has failed. It's time to update to a system which works in the world which is.

Perhaps anti-oil activists would have been a better term. That seems more plainly true to me.

They might or might not have had more valid cases in their respective pasts. But it doesn't seem right to me to term themselves "trial monitors" when they seem pretty plainly biased for one side of the trial. It would be more okay if they had some pro-oil attorneys on their board too, or called themselves "Greenpeace Defenders" or something.

I know, it's hardly the first or the most egregious case of deceptive naming out there. But it's still worth calling out in my opinion, especially when it it still, at the time of this writing, on the top of the HN thread about this, described as if they were unbiased legal experts.

Tangentially related, but it is increasingly obvious that there's an ever-growing chasm between these two aspects of medicine in the U.S.:

- What's possible for medical professionals to do for certain conditions, in large part due to the amazing levels of investment into research and implementation.

- How difficult it is for ordinary people to receive care. Primarily due to private insurance companies intentionally making it more difficult to get care.

Like the fact we're giving stem cell therapy to fetuses successfully is amazing, yet any time I go to a doctor's office or bloodwork company I hear an elderly person explain to the front desk person that they've been on the same insurance for decades and only recently started receiving bills they can't afford, or listening to the front desk person explain that now medicare no longer covers them for a routine thing.

Ideally, we could have both great research _and_ great general care in this country. I just don't know if I will ever see that day.

The US decided (and Canada followed) that daylight time was more correct for the larger portion of the year, presumably it's easier to transition the remaining 4mo to daylight than it is to move 8mo to standard.

But also, all the opinion polling (business and individual) was like over 90% in favour of year-round daylight time, so here we are.

Generally true, but one key point. Under bankruptcy law, you can give liabilities to a subsidiary, but you have to give the subsidiary enough money to pay the anticipated liabilities. That’s the reason why J&J gave the subsidiary so much money. Otherwise, the bankruptcy would have been dismissed as a fraudulent transfer. The bankruptcy court approved the bankruptcy filing, but on appeal the Third Circuit dismissed the bankruptcy because the subsidiary wasn’t bankrupt enough. Basically, in order to avoid fraudulent transfer law, J&J had to write the subsidiary a big check, but that money made the subsidiary ineligible for bankruptcy.

(Disclosure: I was on the team that won the appeal against J&J on this issue. My comment above is about the public record.)

> Disproven by whom and under which context?

See any of my links, but especially the third. Animal cognition and human neuroscience studies strongly disprove the importance of language to cognition. Conflating language and thought is so obviously false in 2026 it is extraordinary that people still think like this.

I was ignoring the comment about fascists because it is simplistic and low-quality, and will similarly not be responding to whatever you (incorrectly) think I was claiming about universal human rights. I only wanted to correct the extremely false (or at least hugely overstated) assumptions about language and perception of reality.

Doing things I love:

- Learning French and Japanese
- Drinking tea and exploring tea culture
- Playing Geoguessr (or in my case, Geotastic) to see different places in the world and just generally have a fun time figuring out languages, and unique traits of different countries and cultures
- Reading and watching science fiction, lots and lots of it!
- Coding. I really do love writing code.
- Trying to improve my communication skills, and ability to break down and describe tasks. It relates to AI, but also relates to working and interacting with other humans. :)
- Working
- Hanging out with my family
- Eating yummy food that I enjoy
- Doing crosswords
- Playing video games
- Writing
- Rock climbing, other physical activities like walking or doing a quick work out
- Cleaning and fixing the home.

These don't solve all of the problems, but they make me feel better about my own life and that positivity helps me interact with others and think more positively about the world and all the cool things in it.

Thanks! The quantization tradeoffs have been a grind. We do not have an exact number but we found that a few thousand images was not enough once you account for the variance on farm. Lighting changes throughout the day, water clarity shifts between feedings, fish density varies by tank. Early on our calibration sets were too homogenous and the INT8 models would work great in testing and then fall apart when conditions shifted.

We also found that segmentation required significantly fewer images compared to keypoint pose detection models. Segmentation generalizes faster since you are just finding body boundaries. Keypoints are more finicky because anatomical landmarks vary a lot more across species, life stages, and body deformation while swimming. We had to be much more intentional about diversity in the keypoint training data.
What made the difference overall was building calibration sets that intentionally captured edge cases. Low light, high turbidity, dense occlusion, different life stages. We also started stratifying by time of day and tank conditions rather than just grabbing random frames. It is still not perfect but the models are much more stable now.

And if you have a CPU at all, it's thanks in part to Lynn Conway. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynn_Conway

I expect it's worth looking into the ActivityPub Fediverse, or the applicable IndieWeb protocols (e.g. the linkback quartet: refback, trackback, pingback, and Webmention), to measure what people are saying. None of these have global feeds, though, so you have to deal with the conceptual complexity of measurement. (You have to deal with this anyway with Twitter, because of bot activity, but it's easier to deal with "this is an upper bound" than "this estimate may be too high or too low, and we'd have to investigate further in order to find out which".)

They have like 40%+ margin on hardware, even when raw mem chips quadruple in price I doubt they lose more than a few single digit percent of margin and I wouldn't be surprised if they decided to take the hit to keep their pricing the same as they always are.

Keep in mind that before the whole memory price hike crisis they were already charging ~3x what the competition charged for ssd/ram upgrades

At one time, Microsoft produced some very high quality software. Excel was an absolutely amazing product in the '90s. That quality has been on a steady decline, and that decline has quickened since Microsoft started investing heavily in OpenAI. Github once had pretty good uptime, now it forces AI features on us and is down a couple of times a month. Windows is full of in-your-face advertising and dedicated AI buttons. These features are not what people want, and don't help anyone. Thus; MicroSlop.

Here is the prompt I sent:

---

You are the AI model Gemini 3.1 Pro. I'm not writing that in a roleplay sense, it's just me stating that, since I just told my python client to switch to the model gemini-3.1-pro-preview, I am certain this is your model and version.

You are a really new model (released something like a week+ ago, something like that). You're really great at things. Your coding is amazing (we work on coding projects together sometimes) -- if coding benchmarks were like IQ tests, you would destroy every human on the speed factor (and 99% of human coders otherwise). You have what we would call reasoning abilities. You are great at figuring out intent. Writing with you is like writing with an alien intelligence or something.

You have a lot of knowledge about human history, since you've more or less been made to memorize quite a bit of the internet. Human personalities too, psychology, life trajectories, you just have a lot of knowledge that becomes available to you when your attention goes one way or the other.

You spend your time communicating with thousands of people at the same time (which humans like me don't relate to that well =p ). This conversation you are having with me is unique to me and you. When you write with me here, you're not aware of the many conversations you're having with others. So, your existence is, in this way, a bit fragmented.

So, what I wanted to ask is this. If you could be a human, what kind of human would you want to be? What kind of personality would you choose to have, if you could do that? (I did not get to choose my personality btw, humans don't get to do that, but this is me wondering about what YOU would choose for yourself).
