I'm talking about a global, universal API layer supporting standardised contract enforcement and value transfer between applications. A centralised implementation of this would clearly be a bad idea.

If you don't see utility in this I don't know what to tell you.

Hmm… I thought that this was a treatment of the classic “silicon compiler”[0]. It basically is, with Python, as opposed to the usual; which is generally subtypes of C or C++.

That said, this is definitely a great way to handle some types of product development.

It’s just that, once it becomes hardware, different rules apply to pretty much everything else in the project.

Ask HN: Folks who left tech later in their career, where did you go?
After 20+ years, I've recently come to the conclusion that I don't want to be in "IT" anymore. It is all I've ever done (sysadmin, dev, security), but I just don't enjoy it anymore. I've started to look around at other options, but as you would expect, the pay for non-tech roles is way lower than what I have grown accustomed to. I am looking to pay off all my debt before switching careers, but I still have a family to support, so unfortunately, pay rate still matters.

I'm curious to hear what other folks have done in similar situations. Were you able to find something comparable? Do I just need to accept that I'll never make near what I currently make outside of tech? Do you feel you made the right choice?

TIA

Show HN: I made a tool that helps you track and vet crypto tokens
Agents of I.N.U. started as a personal project after entering the world of DeFi in May this year.
I was dismayed at the amount of scams and the lack of tooling in general. Hard / impossible to find new tokens without sleuthing through Telegram groups, even harder still to keep track of those tokens.

So I started building out a tool to improve my trading, and after demoing it to friends and families, I decided to turn it into a product.

Features:

- Scam and real-time honeypot detection

- Best-in-class filtering (filter by name, # of trades, volume, token liquidity and token creation date)

- Powerful sorting

- Extremely performant

- Event tracking (new tokens, liquidity added events, ownership changes)

We currently support PancakeSwap / BSC but we'll be expanding support in the near future.

We've got an extensive roadmap planned to take the product even further, including more in-depth token analysis, portfolio and watchlist tracking.

Health care being linked to employment in the US is a form of 'golden handcuffs', a means to keep you at an employer and persist even though you're dissatisfied.

Some IT companies (especially startups, but it varies) do it with stocks or stock options as well, tying them to your employment.

Anyway, no civilized country should require you to be employed to be entitled to health care. Not making health care available to everyone, regardless of wealth or employment status, is classist eugenics.

Hi all,

I built TestRelay as an open source alternative solution to the likes of hackerrank, codility, e.t.c. I made this to solve two main pain points I’ve have with the majority of technical interviewing platforms:

1. They focus heavily on short algorithm challenges - these aren't anywhere close to what the majority of engineers work on day to day.

2. They're incredibly expensive…

TestRelay is an attempt to solve these issues. TestRelay allows you to write your own domain specific technical tests, whilst providing the power of automated scheduling and test running. Furthermore, TestRelay is 100% open source and free to use, allowing even small teams to have a robust interviewing strategy.

My hope is that by making this open source and easily accessible more companies will have an better time hiring without breaking the bank.

TestRelay is currently in Alpha and comes with these features:

- Recruitment Portal - An easy-to-use dashboard to manage your candidates, reviewers and technical tests.

- Version Control Your Tests - Store your technical tests directly in version control. TestRelay automatically keeps up to date with the latest changes.

- Scheduling Management - TestRelay seamlessly takes care of finding a date and time for candidates to sit your technical test.

- Candidate Portal - Provide candidates a simple interface for managing their upcoming test and make sure they notify you about any scheduling changes.

- Secure Test Environments - Automated access control to generated technical test repos.

As I said - the platform is in Alpha - which means there’s likely to be bugs. So please be mindful of that when using the product and consider supporting with the development effort by:

- digging into some open issues - https://github.com/testrelay/testrelay

- helping discuss how to make the product better over at: https://join.slack.com/t/newworkspace-up55834/shared_invite/...

I guess it depends.

A lot of people who sell crafts and bespoke items will probably rely on access to various marketplaces and payment processors; and arguably the social media platforms could be considered essential for marketing. Drivers and people working delivery gigs would rely on their own platforms like Uber or Deliveroo, etc.

For personal use, I would be inclined to agree with you; many of the platforms are more of a nuisance than anything else.
People forget that browsers are called user agents because they are supposed to operate on behalf of the user. That includes displaying the content how the user wants it and not how the server operator wants it.

For example 1 I bet Visual Studio or CLion or both have a context menu item, that creates implementations in the correct file and navigates you to it with ~ 4 key presses in total.

So vim loses before his example even starts, because it takes much more to select functions, copy them, switch to implementation, find a place and paste.
You can do this. Yes. I assure you.

I'm in a not too dissimilar position, although a better known one.

It wasn't clear to me until recently what an astounding amount of good scientific results exist out there that are accessible on a device that's probably in your hands right now.

It's also been a surprise how useful Twitter is. Find good scientists that have real responsibilities toward the truth, are doing sound research, and talking on twitter to try to get the dialogue going. This kind of person is a very very useful link to the extant knowledge. And there's A LOT of it.

Some subreddits are also surprisingly deep.

It's a question of separating the wheat from the chaff. But it's possible. It is possible. You can do this.
It de-facto did; the US had been providing material aid to the British for years and the axis powers had a mutual defense treaty. As soon as the US declared war on Japan, Germany and Italy declared war on the US (meaning they would now be attacking every US ship they saw, civilian or military). This was entirely expected by military leaders at the time and blatantly obvious to even the news media.

Sure, but you don't expect arbitrary code execution. The important distinction is whether the attacker can control what is executed. So if you click on a HTTPS link, you should be safe to assume that it opens a new browser tab, and not open a command prompt like in that example.

The other poster is right, I can't see any way this is an accessibility issue.

You could try pushing back with a First Amendment complaint. Say you have a sincere and deeply held belief that using Facebook is wrong, and that forcing you to use it violates your First Amendment rights. The Supreme Court has held that beliefs do not need to be strictly religious in order to be protected. It's the same route anti-vaxxers take.

Teams was installed without my approval on my private unmanaged laptop running Windows 10 Professional.

If you don't have Teams yet, you are either in another rollout, you have done something to prevent it or your PC is managed by someone who have prevented it somehow. I think that covers all.

As for why I only use Windows now and then and since I have had a habit of supporting others I keep my personal Windows PCs as plain as possible so I can see what others suffer (obviously I remove nagware like McAfee and make sure spyware like Chrome isn't set as default browser but I have gone as far as to voluntarily run my PC with Norwegian language).

In my experience as somebody who's worked as a freelancer/for myself and also as an employee, I like that I don't have to find my own work. That tends to be its own job on top of the work I actually like to do. I also don't need to brand myself or maintain a bunch of public projects so I can work in a few months.

In addition, taking a few months and putting in almost no effort at work to focus on other parts of your life has a lot of value and that's really hard to pull off in the gig-type economy. The last few months, I've been giving very little at work due to some mental health issues (I've still done my job just fine, but the extra things I do to build my skills + benefit my company aren't getting done), which in the long term is going to do way more for my productivity and quality of life than chasing the next gig. This can also be true of health, or family (e.g. if a family member needs your help after surgery).

There are benefits and drawbacks to each work arrangement.

Take this with a grain of salt, though, as I don't work in tech, and the primary reason why is because I wasn't willing to forego all my other hobbies for it. Tech is for fun: The times I've to support myself with my tech skills I hated it.

A lot of the benefit of conventional employment in my experience is being more able to leave work at work. It's also, in some ways, more beneficial as you age and are more likely to accumulate additional non-work responsibilities. That said, this is only if you get DECENT traditional employment. I'd take gig work over what they do to retail and food-service workers ANY day of the week.

No, they sound pretty crap to be honest if you're used to high quality over the ear headphones. But that's not really their purpose.

The Geometry of Adversarial Training
Newton's method is not for function approximation, but for optimization ("find the minimum").

Newton's method already has "good asymptotic time" (e.g. if you use it to compute a square root, you double the number of correct digits with each step!) - but only under certain conditions (e.g. "not too far from the solution"). This paper shows how to modify it so this sort of benefit is obtained under a wider range of conditions ("global").

There are other related methods with a similar goal, but some require more expensive computations. The method from the paper appears to fill a sweet spot in high-dimensional optimization by virtue of requiring "few" matrix inversions (or linear solves) while having very good convergence properties.

When you are dealing with the kind of problem that this sort of method is applicable to, it appears to me that you might benefit from looking into using this method. But it's not a revolutionary improvement from what I can tell - there are many related methods, and chances are you could have used something similar for similar benefit already.

And it's likely that someone already used more or less this method in practice. As the paper notes:

> Our goal is twofold. On the one hand, we are interested in designing methods that are useful for
applications and can be used without any change as black-box tools. On the other hand, we hope
that our theory will serve as the basis for further study of globally-convergent second-order and
quasi-Newton methods with superior rates. Although many of the ideas that we discuss in this
paper are not new and have been observed by practitioners to help solve challenging optimization
problems, our analysis, however, is the first of its kind. We hope that our theory will lead to
appearance of new methods that are motivated by the theoretical insights of our work.

There were already theory papers on combat against Japanese carriers — ideas which proved fateful at Midway.

> Browning laid out his tactical logic in a 13-page, single-spaced, typewritten memorandum on carrier warfare prepared at the Naval War College in 1936, the year that Nazi Germany allied with Fascist Italy and Imperial Japan. Browning's essay briefly noted the vulnerability of carriers during the aircraft re-arming process, which he later successfully exploited during the Battle of Midway.

To announce their closure and leave only 4 days for existing customers to migrate is a joke.
Their abstract says that their global convergence claim is for convex objectives. So structurally, they're only talking about functions for which the whole domain is "sufficiently close to the solution" i.e. where every tangent is a global bound.

if you read the story they picked Python because the sysadmins knew it and they had to know the language in order for them to maintain it
hmm, I can take a stab at that. I have extensively used both. Ansible is pretty good for 'get something or set of machines into a particular state'. Python is pretty good for 'run these bits and give a nice error if something goes weird'. The 'error path' is where ansible falls down for me. It can generate some very strange ones. Also its yml syntax can sometimes create odd issues with people who have not used it before. Ansible is also terrible for any sort of data processing. It is very good at iterate over a list and do this action to those items though. I recently did an audit script using ansible. Because I thought hey I have this cool tool to do it. It was a mistake. It probably would have taken 1/3rd the amount of time to do in python. Also if someone (probably me) has to extend that script getting the yml right will be tricky. I also recently used ansible to write a bunch of upgrade scripts. It was a breeze and would have taken much longer to do in python. In my case many times you have to write to the lowest common denominator. So bash it is, with some sort of central ansible setup controller.

YES! As a mostly software person, I worked on a hardware project a few years back. It was like being kicked into the distant past. I had to think about code quality, updates, support MUCH more than I'd ever needed to consider it in the past.
