If you’re hiring for a UX / product hybrid, I’d welcome the opportunity to connect you with a candidate.

They operate fluently across user research, synthesis, and interaction design — but more importantly, they are disciplined about ensuring the team is solving the right problem before optimizing the solution. Strong conviction around first-principles framing, epistemic rigor, and problem selection as leverage.

Core strengths:

- Structured discovery and incisive problem definition
- Translating ambiguous signals into coherent product theses
- Systems-level thinking across UX, engineering, and business constraints
- Driving execution with clarity, precision, and accountability

A thinker who prizes discernment over velocity and correctness over noise.

If your team values intellectual honesty, strategic acuity, and taste, I’m happy to make an introduction.

The data required is small. Each embedding might be 1/2 kB per face.

> power budget

To process a video for biometric feature extraction, it might take 0.5% to 2% of the total power used to record a video. Video uses a lot of power (compression, screen, etc)

I'm merely saying that the mass adoption of clock time for planning daily routines was an industrialist conspiracy to get people working when by natural right they should be sleeping.

We could easily have software presenting time to us as true solar time. We're not limited to gears and levers anymore, our "clocks" now have GPS and can trivially calculate solar time with that. Doing this one off is easy. The problem is society at large still trying to make plans like when to start work shifts or school hours based on a system of time that flies wildly out of synch with Earth's natural rhythms throughout the year.

Massive self-own for humanity.

Before anyone downvotes this guy, spend some time on the official Apple support forum.

I can't point at a bug that I've seen addressed in subsequent OS releases.

Seizure-inducing HDMI flickering from Night Shift. Finder Trash not supporting put-back _sometimes_. Printers becoming permanently "paused" sporadically, or worse, very consistently. Mouse lag/stuttering because you used "the wrong USB port." Apple photos libraries corrupting themselves with no recovery paths.

It would be strictly better to just not have the forum, then shouting sorrows into the void would feel more solitary.

IIRC back in the day it was criticized for having unnecessary abstractions and limitations that were seemingly arbitrary.

For instance, you can't restart an oscillator node. Once you call stop it's the end. A node that's stopped is also immediately disconnected.

ScriptProcessorNode, broadly speaking, sucked, because it was running in the main thread:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/ScriptProce...

so eventually it was replaced with AudioWorkletNode combined with AudioWorkletProcessor:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/AudioWorkle...

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/AudioWorkle...

Arguably people would have been happy having just these two from the get go.

Compare this to an API that was already mainstream back when Web Audio API was first developed:

> Researchers from lower risk countries have been told they could lose access beginning in either September or December if at that point they have been at the lab more than 2 years or, under a waiver, 3 years.

The word "could" seems to conflict with "It's all foreign guest researchers by end of September."

If you think that's what he meant, then it's clear that Bob has made things incredibly ambiguous since we disagree. Do you think he might have written the article, and especially the headline, in such a way as to make it more clickable?

I do.

I don’t believe that’s true. Private Cloud Compute is restricted to newer phones that already support on device Apple
Intelligence. It’s just that the on device model is basically limited to simple stuff. Safari page summarization and the text rewriting features are run in the cloud. You can tell because those features go away without a network connection, and don’t cause the phone to warm.

Personally, I need multiple hours. I'm not the type to open my eyes, jump out of bed, and hit the floor running. I'm more the type of "fuck, why am I awake?" but then at the end of the day if there's stuff to do, I can be up for a while. So I'm much better at night than in the morning. Even if I'm my keyboard at 10am, I'm still not up to speed. My best comes later in the day. I think part of that is I've worked for places for so long that I was in meetings all day, and never got to do my actual job until late in the day when everyone else was winding down.

Author of the blog post here. That explanation sounds very plausible to me!

If the whole enclosing function became inlinable after the reflective call path disappeared, that could explain why the end-to-end speedup under load was even larger than the isolated microbench.

I admit that I don't understand the JIT optimization deeply enough to say that confidently... as I mentioned in the blog post, I was quite flummoxed by the results. I’d genuinely love to learn more.
BlackTape – open-source music discovery built on MusicBrainz and Discogs
by Blacktape | 2026-03-03 00:11:40+00:00
I built a music discovery app. It's open source now.

BlackTape uses MusicBrainz and Discogs — open, community-maintained databases — to index artists and rank them by how unique they are within their genre. The more niche the artist, the higher they surface. It's the
inverse of how Spotify's algorithm works.

I got frustrated watching recommendation algorithms flatten discovery. The same artists keep surfacing out of 10+ million indexed. MusicBrainz has 2.6 million artists catalogued with rich genre tags, scene data, and
regional metadata. Discogs has release metadata going back 80 years. Combine those two databases and score artists by distinctiveness rather than popularity, and the discovery space opens up completely.

What it does:

- Search by genre/scene with atomic tag combinations

- Discover feed ranked by uniqueness score (rare = surfaceable)

- Full artist pages: discography, tags, related artists, scene data

- Spotify playback integration (optional)

- Time Machine: browse artists by decade

- Style Map: visual genre/scene navigation

- Knowledge Base: genre relationship graph

No tracking, no platform API dependency for the core discovery data. Desktop app built with Tauri + SvelteKit.

GitHub: https://github.com/AllTheMachines/BlackTape

Site: https://blacktape.org

Happy to talk about the MusicBrainz pipeline, the uniqueness scoring, or the open-data approach to discovery.

I actually think it defeats the Go teams stated purpose. It may technically be "more explicit" but it causes too problems. First someone is far more likely to just use the old value, _ trick bedside the current usage is just so annoying. Secondly, it conditions a lot of devs to just skim over the if check, because half the damn time it's just bs.

A little syntax sugar that won't break backwards compatibly and makes the intent of the code clearer is a win-win. I've never seen a really reasonable response from the Go team on why they don't want to do it.

Yuzu Health (yuzu.health, Series A) | Location: New York City (Flatiron) | ONSITE
Pitch: Yuzu is not a wrapper, point solution, or integration on top of something. Our platform makes it easy for anyone to create their own health plan from scratch. That means our tech handles everything from the member/HR portals, claims adjudication, invoice automation, member support tools, to even printing and sending out ID cards.

Why: We're truly rebuilding health insurance from the ground up. We currently serve over 1,000 employers, and we're growing extremely fast (like over 10x last year fast)!

Investors: We're well funded with investors like General Catalyst, Chemistry, Anthropic, Lachy Groom, Neo and founders from startups you know like Notion, Brex, Deel, and Mercury.

Roles: We're hiring engineers for in-person work over here at Yuzu's HQ in Union Sq, Flatiron. Primary need is for Fullstack/Product Engineers but we're also looking for a Data Engineer and a Product Designer. Job board here - https://yuzu.health/careers

Eh, doorbell cams aren’t that controversial (ad aside). A lot of people have them already, both from ring (with the concomitant privacy issues) or from other providers (with different but similar issues).

They’re controversial on hacker news but I don’t think people in the “real world” care all that much.

How that connects to the meta glasses is certainly up for debate —- the doorbells provide a lot of value to the user (know who is at the door remotely!), the glasses are more of a mixed bag.

This is exactly the problem we're tackling! We built DeltaOps (delta-ops-mvp.vercel.app) - human-in-the-loop governance for autonomous agents. You hit the nail on the head with "no human in the loop" - that's the gap. DeltaOps adds a layer where agents can work autonomously, but critical actions (deploys, code merges, spending) require human approval. Also addresses your compliance concerns - every action is logged and approved. Would love to chat about integrating governance into dark factories!

Yeah, I love the original name, but it would have been problematic potentially with copyright. As for breaking the format, sometimes there's good reasons for it. I can tell you that it really flies though, when compared to Borg/Vorta. I can't tell if the speed improvements are from the Rust front end or the back end format changes, but it's a lot faster than Vorta/Borg and certainly way faster than Kopia on restore.

There is an existing system for chorded text input via a piano-like system, known as the Michela stenotype. Plover supports it. The basic input is two ranges, each for one hand: the left-hand range goes D#-C, the right-hand is E-C#. The basic assignment is as follows:

D# F \ pinky \
E S / |
F C \ ring |
F# Z / |
G P \ middle |
G# N / /
A R \ index \
A# X / |
B I \ thumb |
C U / /

E u \ thumb \
F i / |
F# e \ index |
G a / /
G# n \ middle \
A p / |
A# z \ ring |
B c / |
C s \ pinky |
C# f / /

Basic usage picks one letter at most from each of the four groupings: the l.h. accounts for syllable onset (split into an initial and a medial component), the r.h. for syllable rime (split into a nucleus-like and coda-like component). Some very brief special cases to further illustrate the system (not accounting for special usages or abbreviations, which are even more complex):

FC/cf - h as in hat, or -st as in best
SC/cs - v as in vie, leave
FZ/zf - th, voiced or unvoiced
SZ/zs - used for hard ts or dz originally, but often repurposed in modern use
FP/pf - t as in tie
SP/ps - ch as in China
CP/pc - k sound, as in because
ZP/pz - j sound, as in just
FN/nf - -nd- as in and
SN/ns - -ng- as in sing
CN/nc - w as in wine
ZN/nz - y as in yes
FCP/pcf - b as in because (compare h, t, k)
SCP/pcs - d as in day (compare v, ch, k)
FZP/pzf - -shun ending, or hard g (compare t, th, j)
SZP/pzs - m sound (compare ch, j)
FCN/ncf - r sound (compare h, w, -nd)
SCN/ncs - l sound (compare v, w, -ng)
FZN/nzf - nt sound (compare th, nd, y)
SZN/nzs - x, ks or -ction (compare nd, y)
X - also internal -s- as in observe

XI - internal -w- or -f- as in dwarf
RU - internal -m-
XU - internal -n-
UI - internal -p-, -b-

> Who has been distracted from Facebook’s shenanigans? Who are they talking about? Is it me? Because I can tell you I have certainly not been distracted on that front.

On September 11th 2001 a UK government department's press chief told their subordinates it was a "good day to bury bad news".

The idea is pretty simple - you might be obligated to announce something that you know will be poorly received, like poor train performance figures, but you can decide the exact day you announce it, like on a day when thousands have died in a terror attack. What would otherwise be front-page news is relegated to a few paragraphs on page 14.

Facebook proposes a similar strategy: Get the feature ready to go, wait until there's some much bigger news story, and deploy it that day.

When we had kids I thought daylight savings time was going to be some kind of nightmare because ever DST thread on the internet cites children as the reason why's it terrible.

Then it was a complete non-issue for our kids. I had this conversation with several parent friends and they couldn't figure it out either.

At most we've had a day or two where the kids wake up 10-20 minutes later than the target time, but it's not a big deal. Honestly it takes me longer to adapt than my kids.

I can believe that some kids are hyper sensitive to clock changes, but the more I talk to fellow parents I think it's a minority case. Traveling a couple states away is a bigger swing than DST.

I think this is a talking point that came up on the internet at one point and then got amplified because so many liked the direction it was going, but never stopped to think about how accurate the claim was.

For me and also the place I retired from the optimal solutions was an instance of Unbound [1] on every node keeping local cache, retrying edge resolvers intelligently, preferring the fastest responding edge resolvers, cap on min-ttl or both resource records and infrastructure, pre-caching, etc... I've done that at home and when others talk about a DNS outage I have to go out of my way to see or replicate it usually by forcing a flush of the cache.

Most Linux distributions have a build of Unbound. I point edge DNS recursive resolvers to the root servers rather than leaking internal systems requests to Cloudflare or Google. Unbound can also be configured to not forward internal names or to point requests for internal names to specific upstream servers.

Project Engram is a three-tier memory architecture for desktop AI agents. It replaces flat key-value memory stores with a biologically-inspired system modeled on how human memory works: incoming information flows through a sensory buffer, gets prioritized in working memory, and consolidates into long-term storage with automatic clustering, contradiction detection, and strength decay. The result is agents that remember context across sessions, learn from patterns, and forget gracefully.

This document describes the architecture as implemented in OpenPawz — a Tauri v2 desktop AI platform. The system implements three memory tiers, a persistent graph, hybrid search with reciprocal rank fusion, background consolidation, field-level encryption, and full lifecycle integration across chat, tasks, orchestration, and multi-channel bridges.
This is our passion and looking for more minds to get involved!

I didn’t understand iPads for years. As a half engineer half email monkey, doing work on them is still next to impossible, especially with nerfed versions of Office applications.

But, they are excellent for media consumption, particularly reading and marking up PDFs. I am able to focus while reading in a way I cannot on a computer. Procreate is amazing (drawing brushes with a pressure sensitive pen and layer/mask support all in one). Great for playing Civ on a flight. And it does all those things in a comfortable form factor while being fundamentally a pleasant device to use.

All that considered, the iPad Air is not that expensive, and it will probably last you a decade before it needs replacing.

I'm interested in your choice of the OAK cameras because I'm trying to select a camera model also. I started this with a simple USB webcam and added a PhotoNeo camera. I've just switched to RealSense and I've got a couple of ZED cameras on order but now I'm looking at the OAK-D and thinking that it makes a lot of sense to run a nn directly on the camera.

I'm not writing this to disregard the PDF author—it's just a personal retrospective.

I'm a 50-year-old Japanese person who watched the original Dragon Ball broadcast on TV around 40 years ago. Back then, there were no LCDs or OLEDs—only CRT ("brown tube") TVs, and the signal was analog. With that kind of analog rendering, it was practically impossible to tell what the "true" colors were. Plus, CRT displays degraded over time, shifting colors toward brown.

The pre-processed raw images in the article actually look like what I remember as the real Dragon Ball colors.

Slapping a pair of glasses that are recording you, processing your face, sending biometrics and images back to one of the worst privacy offenders on the planet off of the face of someone who is willingly doing all that without asking your permission is a perfectly appropriate reaction.

Music production with a DAW is better on a computer. Music performance is much better on an iPad. There is a big difference between direct touch controls and using a trackpad. Apps like AUM and AniMoog Z highlight what makes music making on an iPad amazing.

And people here don't want to hear this but the closed nature of the App Store is why audio is so strong on both ios and iPadOS. There are far more music apps for those OSes than Android. In addition to that, many VSTs made for DAWS are available on iPads as AUV at much lower prices than Mac or Windows. The lack of piracy, narrow build targets, and predictably great audio implementation makes it both easier to build and more profitable than other platforms.
