Saildrone | Multiple Roles | Onsite/Remote (US Only) | SF Bay Area (Alameda) | Full-Time | https://www.saildrone.com/

Saildrone is the world's leading collector of ocean related in situ data via uncrewed vehicle, above and below the sea surface. We work with governments, civic agencies, foundations, universities, and private companies around the globe to drive better information about our oceans and seas - be it sailing drones into the eye of hurricanes to obtain new scientific storm data, mapping out the ocean floor, collecting new CO2 data in hard-to-reach areas, counting biomass to establish fishing quotas, or detecting and stopping illegal fishing and drug trafficking.

Maybe you saw that we hucked a drone into a category 4 hurricane[1] last fall. Or maybe that we recently raised a $100M series C[2]. Or maybe you didn't see any of that, but you're still intrigued by the idea of autonomous, long endurance sailboats that help us better understand our planet.

Whatever the case, we're hiring for a breadth of different positions across our organization. In software, we're hiring for an Engineering Manager along with Machine Learning, DevOps/SRE, Embedded Linux, Platform, and Hardware Test Engineers. Stacks vary from team to team, but we're looking primarily for folks with backgrounds in C++, Python, and/or JavaScript (Node, TypeScript, React). We're remote-friendly for certain positions, though require folks to be onsite for others.

In addition to software engineers, we're also hiring for a bunch of other positions across the company in production/manufacturing, hardware engineering, and more!

You can see a list of open positions on our career page: https://www.saildrone.com/careers

Please apply through our career page; be sure to select "Other" and specify this HN post when asked how you heard about us!

USB killed it. Keep your signal digital until you hit the speakers (or a short audio cable). No interference, 44.1kHz from end-to-end (or more).

If you don't like the DAC in the headphones, you can also find a high-quality USB DAC and use the audio cable from there.
I was thinking that something like this sounded interesting, and certainly couldn't cost more than $20/year for unlimited searches. But $10/m, and already being raised to $19/m?

Almost doubling the price per month already honestly seems like this product doesn't have long left to live. And the price is already expensive enough where only privacy enthusiasts would be considering it.

And for anyone saying free plan, 50 searches a month is just too low. If I have one issue I'm trying to resolve, it's very possible I use half of them right there, and who wants to worry about how many searches they have left.
This sort of thing can be done really well.

One specialist I've had to go to frequently has a very good system.

An SMS 3 days before as a reminder. Another the day of, which you reply to to check in.

When they're ready for you, they text back, and you go in, and the nurse meets you at the door. (Even ignoring Covid, I'd much rather wait in my car, my with choice of tunes cranked, etc).

That's all good in and of itself.

What makes it really good is that someone human actually reads those messages and dispatches them as appropriate. So whenever I've had a billing question, need a refill, have a question for my doc whatever... I just text that number, and if it's during normal business hours I usually get a response back within 5-10 minutes. (And actual response, not "You are very important to us, we will return your call within 48 hours")
I agree, and have seen this, but I think this should be far more normal for more than just gay males.

From anecdotal experience, many gay males that share salacious photos of themselves on Twitter (at least where their intent of their account is not only sex/nudity, but to participate in the community of twitter) tend to share healthy and tasteful "thirst traps", semi-nudes, and sometimes nudity. It's rarely "porn" style content, and almost never problematic. And it's also some twitter gays with normal bodies too! That's good. We should celebrate that. That makes twitter the non-ephemeral nude beach.
I think they're referring to the people who sadly used others' hopes that this research would pan out as one of many loyalty tests for whether or not it was allowed to treat someone as sub-human.

I'm not sure even that necessarily works. Say the majority of the group wants to move to a new platform. Someone else--perhaps in the minority--wants to keep the group going on meetup.

> Be a YIMBY. Embrace looser zoning regulations and more and denser housing where you live. And don't jack up the rent to market rates if you're already turning a profit.

Eh. Waiting for people to forgo short-term profit from the goodness of their hearts under capitalism is a losing battle. The system must be built to prevent such behaviours and outcomes, rather than relying on individual good-will.
Citizenship-by-investment programs are dominated by small nations. Seems like smaller nations actually disproportionately favor absorbing richer foreigners.

The most extreme example is probably Comoros, which up until a few years ago you could become a citizen for $45k over-the-counter.

Not sure about 1Password extension, but Orion support for Chrome extensions is getting better with every update – so you might want to check it from time to time!

(P.S. Let me also recommend BitWarden - password manager UX is highly subjective topic, but it worked well for me, and it does not require subscription).
What I am getting at is if you don't hire devs _specifically_ who are happy working in your stack you are setting your team up for trouble. What was "I am more familiar with X" during an interview might as well turn into "We should rewrite in X" on the job, and I do feel like this situation should be explicitly filtered against in the hiring pipeline.

But then again, I am biased by having experienced the negatives of the situation.
Yes, the results have been really mixed.

On the one hand, you have people trying to generate MIDI compositions with AI. This works alright, but a machine-learning model doesn't understand which musical cues are significant and which are not. We have no good 'classification' metrics for music, which means that most procgen MIDI tunes are listenable, but about as boring as Chinese bootleg NES soundtracks circa late-80s.

On the other hand, you have people actually trying to recreate actual music a-la DALL-E or Stable Diffusion. This has slightly better results (since AI has an easier time parsing a finished product), but still pretty far away from being interesting to the ear. There's plenty of examples on YouTube, you'll probably get the gist after just 1 or 2 of them.

All of this really goes to show what a serendipitous project AI image generation has been. On it's face, we're frankly solving a really simple problem; how do we make a black box that can identify visual parameters and then synthesize their consequences in a photo? The nuance involved with making interesting music is a much different arena though, and I reckon that we simply don't have advanced enough classification to make it work.

Flyp Homes | London, UK | ONSITE / HYBRID (flexible WFH) | https://flyp.co

Frontend Engineer. Full stack node/react. UX. A/B Testing

If you've ever sold a home in the UK then you have likely felt that no one in the process had any incentive to help you.
Flyp is changing that by building a business that partners with homeowners to help them realize the full potential of their investment into their home, even as far as through renovations to the home.

We're a profitable business and are scaling our operations throughout London and the UK, and to do that we need to be a lot better at educated potential customers on what we do. This role is to help us build apps that can explain how the UK residential real estate market works, how we help homeowners get the most out of it, and how they can better understand the value of their home.

They are looking to expand their maritime territory. They might have a credible claim to it.
It does seem to be the case that this type of generative image AI makes somewhat surreal imagery unless given very specific literal directions (aka, Tom Cruise hugging Ben Affleck). If using this AI right now it is probably best to work within these constraints.
True! Just a sort of unfortunate aspect of our field.
Intentionally dissolving a community seems pointless. If a community wants to be dissolved people just… stop.
I razed my group to the ground over that. Their best offer was half off for the next 6 months. No one wants to socialize over zoom unless it's their close friends. I had 7k members.
The only thing that comes to mind would be memory leaks in long running applications caused by your data structures having some link to a link to a link that prevents temporary data from being garbagecollected.
Ask HN: Does any use a separate email just for account registration?
The horror stories about getting kicked off of Google for arbitrary reasons and the kafka-esque process of attempting to get an account reinstated have me thinking about how I'd want to move off of google at some point. However, I'm hesitant about moving to another service, mostly because I generally do find gmail convenient. I like that it auto uploads attachments that are too large to GDrive. I like being able to verify the receiver by the preview of their google profile picture if they're also a gmail user. There's also the question of, if I move all my stuff to another hosted email address, that service getting shut down. And there's plenty of reasons listed on the internet for not hosting your own email server (though it seems like it may not be as bad nowadays with some of the open source projects out there)

So then I had a thought - What if I host my own email server, only for inbound email, and use that for account registration? That way, if I ever do get arbitarily kicked off google, I won't be in _total_ registration hell. I could even generate an email address per service, so that I'll have more traceability for people who sell my email information. And I can keep my gmail for personal use.

Some open questions I have:
* Will services that I register for fail to deliver emails to my server somehow? Or do I need to concern myself with IP reputations still?
* Do I care about spam? for example, if I know that the email I registered for example.com is hello.example@myemailserver.com and correlate it with the domain it's for, I can basically ignore all emails that don't come from those domains. I don't know enough about email protocols to know what the threat vector here is.
* How hackable are email servers? Ideally it would be nice to be able to provision email addresses per server, forward them to a single place, and filter them / categorize them based on how actionable they are.
* What are the gotchas for managing your own email server? Inbound deliverability? Up time? spam / bots? updates and monitoring? disk space?

I'm curious if anyone else has thought about this and set it up for themselves, or any other self-hosters that do something interesting with their setup.
I was hoping there’d be a conversation here about the price increase but so far every comment is about Kagi in general without ever reading the actual blog. They also list a $5 a month plan. What’s not clear is when they’re launching this and if they’ll grandfather in the current customers.
As soon as I hear "light years" things start sounding a lot like religion.
Have you missed the announcements by Intel, Samsung, Micron, and TSMC to build new fabs in the US?

US semiconductor manufacturing has a bright future. The next decade will see an amazing push.
I really wish there was something that was easy to get as a company but hard to get as an individual. As a B2B SaaS, I want to do the organization-level equivalent of KYC — "Know Your Corporate Buyer"? — but there's no such thing.

Instead, all anyone offers in this vein are identifiers that are really annoying to get and that nobody already has as a matter-of-course of registering a company; such that many real companies can't (or won't bother to) pass them. DUNS numbers are a common choice. Our company is five years old and doesn't have a DUNS number. It takes two weeks to get one. So how could I expect our customers to bother getting one just to try our product?

In this case, the 'wealthy foreigners' are large corporations (and foreign governments). Not the occasional gringo that decides to bridge the language barrier and buy property there.

Your uncle didn't pull that advice out of thin air. Respectable people first made the recommendation, he just chose to listen to them, rather than listening to the MSM. And it's not just that Covid zealots said, "I don't believe Ivermectin is helpful", they instead belittled and smugly derided anyone who even entertained the possibility that we should keep an open mind about it. People need to stop being so blindly faithful to the MSM narrative -- it isn't trustworthy. Your uncle understands that.

5 years resident here (as a Brexit refugee).

Central city locations in Lisbon and Porto have exploded in price, but this is due to AirBnB rather than rich expats. Portugal's tourism industry has boomed, which has put money in a lot of people's pockets, but has distorted local economies somewhat. Better management is required, for example cracking down on AirBnB and NOT building that new cruise liner terminal.

Unfortunately the upper middle class idyll (alluded to in the article) of living a dilapidated (but in a cool way) apartment ten paces from your favourite coffee shop, while doing a socially respectable play job is now no more viable here than in SF, London or Berlin. Indeed, my own favourite 'coffee shop' got turned into a chain tequila bar.

Outside the hot centres, things aren't as bad. Public transport (at least in the AML - Lisbon Metropolitan Area) is excellent by any standard, and decent apartments are available for sensible prices well within one hour public transport commute of the downtown. Compare with London, where people are fighting over each rental.

> family factor weighs a lot here

Yes, and this is a problem, given that Portugal only became democratic 48 years ago and has a large amount of cultural baggage from quite frankly medieval times. Also, the implication of this statement is that family doesn't count elsewhere - and in case you missed it it was spelled out a few lines later, which should give you an idea of the residual naivety and insularity of (old) Portuguese culture. Agency - the idea that you can do or think something independently, and then take responsibility for it - is somewhat lacking too.

But! There is much that is very good about Portugal and the Portuguese people, I feel that here it is ok to be kind to each other. Furthermore, there are good changes, new opportunities are arising (perhaps in a very small part to some of the more productive visa holders), and I see a great future for Portugal - even if many Portuguese often don't.
> Even before Putin went full crazy climate change was supposed to be a serious crisis

This.

I am guilty too. I know there really isn't much I can do to "help" except to accelerate my home energy efficiency plans, which will free up some small amount of gas for export this winter.

But why do I need to accelerate my plans? I made them last year. Why did it take an invasion halfway around the world to get me moving?
I meant something that can actually be used that has a functional package manager and desktop experience out of the box.

I used ChromiumOS back in 2013, it needs portage to install anything. Compared to apt, rpm, flatpak, there isn’t much of anything to install.

The experience is far too hackish for what I'm looking for.
I've done quite a bit of work with Oberlin College over the years. Some great people there and the campus is beautiful, but the culture is primed for this kind of reaction and I get the impression that the administration doesn't have the guts to do anything but go along with it.

My guess is Gibson's won't see a penny any time soon. There would be a revolt by the student body and they wouldn't be able to afford it.
Following up from my comment 2 days ago https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32656651

> Some quick research shows these tests can be ordered by the patients, themselves, for ~$60, so the same as the disccounted/offer price here.

> LabCorp: https://www.ondemand.labcorp.com/lab-tests/inflammation-hs-c...

> Quest: https://questdirect.questdiagnostics.com/products/crp-inflam...

I ordered the test the same day, got an appointment for blood draw the next day, and I have the results now, 2 days after this launch.

From the launch text:

> measuring your baseline inflammation levels using an at-home, finger prick based, blood testing kit, that includes a shipping label to send the sample back to the lab.

For my self-ordered test, the lab took a whole vial of blood, as opposed to Be Golden's finger-prick method. But I'm sure I got the results faster than I would have, if I had used the mail-in kit and waited for the results.

All in all, I think this a valuable test, and available at a reasonable cost.

Good luck to Be Golden. I hope they can bring the cost lower, and increase the speed and frequency of the test results.
Did you... actually read the article this comment responded to? Or even the comment you're replying to? The original article proposed making all ports non-privileged because most systems serve a single user in practice. Are you really going to argue that changing the port to 8080 is insecure because someone could snipe it but making all ports non-privileged is better because... now someone can snipe 80 as well?
Obese guy here, we know. We don't really need the health system to tell us to drop weight (though of course, as a doctor inform us anyway). What we need is a sufficiently strong reason. Food is great and tasty, so we need a really good reason.

Mind you, everything is also more difficult as an obese person, so convincing me to lose weight so that I can e.g run better is really kinda pointless.

Doctors and the medical system can help with the issues around it, and manage the effects, but they are really the wrong place to solve it.

And no, the answer isn't making the streets more walkable (the streets around where I live are pretty walkable), or more places to exercise, since obesity is a diet thing.

And there is the issue, I think. The modern world is outstanding at solving wants by adding things. The problem is here you have to solve a problem by removing things.

I don't think this problem is solvable in the modern world at all, unless you are willing to institute calorie ration cards.
Anyone tried Phoenix Liveview recently? Seems like a solution to opt out of this kind of situation entirely.. I'll be exploring the framework
Yes, your house is wealth
It goes both ways. In a non-puritanistic society, where nudity isn't frowned upon, ideally you wouldn't care if pictures got shared. But because (at least American) society tends to be puritanistic, there's a lot of damaging reasons if a nude photo of you is identified, even if it was taken and shared without your consent. That's fucked.
I think that’s a feature!
