Résumé/CV: On request
Email: max.o.bond@gmail.com . Please include "Hacker News" in the subject line. This will put it at the top of my inbox.

I am a software engineer specializing in distributed systems. In my previous full-time role I was a critical contributor in launching 2 new ML-powered SaaS products, one of which I wrote ~80% of the code for, and the other of which I did requirements gathering and commissioned on launch day.

I am a productive employee and congenial coworker. Hire me if you need someone to jump into a complex project, rife with unknowns, and put their shoulder to the grind stone and deliver on-time in the face of complex challenges and shifting requirements. I am also a fearless production fire fighter; responding to Pagerduty is genuinely one of my favorite parts of the job, and I am at my best in incident response scenarios.

How can you disagree if you then instantly disqualify your own opinion? DeepL is on a whole other level than Google, they aren't even comparable in quality. Try yourself if you are curious.
Women and men also use language differently. I doubt this is a big issue in practice -- you could mask the ethnolect using AI.
WANT. Marcin Wichary has been researching everything about keyboards, everything adjacent to everything about keyboards, and everything adjacent to everything adjacent to everything about keyboards for over a year now. I've been looking forward to this book ever since I first heard that he was working on it.
In December I started a blog, inspired by posts and comments here on HN, to record various techy tips and tricks I ended up needing or using. It’s quickly turning into a list focusing on Unreal Engine 5 as the hobby project for the year is a multiplayer third person MOBA type project.

I wonder if they took any inspiration from Martin Galway's not-so-secret morse code hidden message in the C64 Rambo intro song, which is a game about rescuing prisoners of war, that was released in 1985.

Christine (host) now sells what appears to be a very successful boutique nail polish line. So successful, she and her SO basically spend more time BSing with their fans (customers) on YT Live and Twitch than making new content
Yep, SingleStoreDB (formerly MemSQL) is not open source (probably never will be), but it does have many paying customers who have had workloads in production for over a decade at this point.

Also, isn't taking a bet on a very recently launched database as a service based around an open source database also pretty risky? Say for example the very recently launched Clickhouse Inc. service (which your a co-founder of?).
I'm playing with some ideas around making IVF more accessible in the U.S. and Europe, making home (or apartment) ownership more accessible in Sub-Saharan Africa, community based emergency services in Sub-Saharan Africa, and mining automation... trying to go through and weed things down to one particular area over the next ~6 months with the intention of trying to start really building something in Q2/Q3. If anyone is interested/knowledgeable about the aforementioned areas (or just wants to spitball about things that are potentially high impact, always happy to jam out).
The collection of data, as stated in the terms of service, does not necessarily absolve the company of potential privacy violations, as it is ultimately governed by the laws of the nation(s) in which it operates.

> But as far as I can tell, most people using docker are using it to deploy cloud services

People use docker and containers for multiple reasons. Reproducible dev environments, Unix development on Windows, etc. The biggest benefit is that your image is fully reproducible; you won't have random issues pop up because of edge cases being hit on dependency updates, you don't have to make sure your new devs install version X of tool Y for development, and you know your code will work identically each time you run `docker start`.

Like all other things, it has pros and cons. You may not value reproducibility, but your assessment is just that: yours. It's ok to have, but you need to realize others value things differently.

As a reminder, your argument is:

> Honorable mention for docker convincing windows and macos developers to write software inside slow virtual machines for no reason.

To say there's no benefit to Docker whatsoever is blatantly false.

> Everyone else is using it. We can’t all be wrong, can we?

If one person around you is wrong, then they might just be wrong. If everyone around you is wrong, then maybe it's you that's wrong.

If Microsoft employees can't fix it, something Apple fixed already for their OS years ago, then they should not be working on Windows

I don't understand how incompetence is being protected and empowered at Microsoft, it's suspiciously worrying, i hope the military isn't dependent on Microsoft software, i'd be worried if they use their tech in the battlefield, HoloLens is another evidence things are fishy within that company
> How to you do that when you cannot get a loan to buy the same house? How is it fair?

if they cannot get a loan to buy a yacht, or a lambo, how come you don't make the same argument?

Owning a house is not some natural right. Being able to afford shelter is, and renting accomplishes that. If rent is skyrocketing, then there's a problem and the gov't needs to address it. But rents have not grown in relation to the cost of the house - in fact, rent is cheaper in most cases.

> You do not need governments to build houses to solve the problem.

no, but not because of the reason you said. It's because the gov't (or more correctly, the local councils) is preventing new builds via zoning, as well as cultural preferences for standalone house, rather than dense living in high rises.

> "Oh, it's ONLY 300k? Heres cash"

i dont know if you've been misinformed, but foreign buyers haven't been a problem in australia (and NZ and canada) for a while - ever since 2018-2019. Most of the demand for real estate are from locals. Using foreigners is a scapegoat.
> And I think that under those terms many Americans would have a lot of alternatives to level up to.

The standard of living of even the bottom quintile of Americans is surprisingly high, even compared to other rich nations. This is often misused by conservatives to reject initiatives to improve economic equality, but that doesn't make it any less factual.

Combined with the difficulty of moving internationally, let alone the difficulty of establishing oneself as a migrant once you get there, and the fact that those with the greatest reason to move will be the ones with the least means in terms of assets and marketable skills, I don't think the current situation is at all surprising.

To the extent Americans are surprised by the standard of living elsewhere, I suspect that says more about American prejudice than anything of economic substance. Americans can be shocked because we're a very insular nation--knowledge about other countries is filtered through our culture wars, where the reality of living conditions elsewhere are variously exaggerated or diminished according to the motivations of our political and cultural factions. (The same is true to varying extents in other nations, but being so large, wealthy, and culturally hegemonic globally, America is one of the few countries that can be remain so insular and ignorant almost passively. Other large countries, like China or Russia, seem to have similar levels of ignorance, except they must rely much more heavily on deliberate censorship to prevent reality from intruding.)

Empty homes are a real problem in Canada. Where I live right now of the 8 neighbouring houses within 50m and 2 of them are empty. I believe they were bough as speculative investment or for renting but they have been sitting empty for some time.
Very cool tech stack. How do you run t5-small in the browser?
This is ridiculous. If you had the knowledge, you'd apply it, and you can't acquire it without practice, which is going to involve heuristics (which you falsely call "dogma" in order to ad-hominem my argument) like this one, which exists precisely because you need something for when you don't have the specialized domain expertise.

> The true root of all evil is unexamined dogma.

This is so absurd that it doesn't deserve a reply.

Genesis Therapeutics | Burlingame, CA | Remote or Onsite | Full-time or Interns | https://www.genesistherapeutics.ai

We’re a hybrid AI + biotech start-up, developing novel deep learning and molecular simulation techniques to predict molecular properties and using them to accelerate the development of new medicines.

We raised a $52M Series A from Andreessen Horowitz + well-respected biotech investors, and have deployed our technology on several internal drug programs as well as multi-target collaborations with Genentech + Lilly ($20M up-front revenue + $670M potential total value), driving discovery progress at a speed rarely seen in the industry. Now we are scaling the team and technology to support many more drug programs in parallel as well as increasingly difficult protein targets.

We currently have a team (https://www.genesistherapeutics.ai/company.html#team) of about 40 people, split 50/50 between our ML / software team and our biochem team of veteran drug hunters in our own wetlab space. Our ML + software engineers are top-notch -- many graduates from MIT, UC Berkeley, Stanford. Previously worked at OpenAI, Google, Facebook, SingleStore, Jane Street, etc.

We're looking for software engineers (no bio or chem experience expected) to help build flexible production systems to integrate our ML models, molecular simulation platform, and molecular generation techniques into our drug programs. This includes helping build individual algorithmic components, iterating on our chemist-facing model deployment pipeline, and leveraging our autoscaling cluster of thousands of GPUs and tens of thousands of CPUs processing billions of molecules / day.

We're also hiring ML research scientists and computational chemists. Here are all of our open roles: https://jobs.lever.co/genesistherapeutics/

Interview process: 1-2 one-hour technical phone screens, 1 day on-site (optionally virtual) with 3 one-hour technical questions. All these include extra time to chat, answer your questions about Genesis, and meet us. Can go from first email to offer in 2-3 weeks

Tech Stack: python, pytorch, postgres, flask, kubernetes

Please apply on our website, or feel free to reach out via email directly: ben@genesistherapeutics.ai
Maybe new towns are part of the solution. Incentivise (or mandate) companies to bring manufacturing onshore and build the new factories in the middle of nowhere like the gigafactory and then build the infrastructure around it like the old days.
That's a fun little project but it'll never work in the real world. After the collectors empty the bins, they never set them down gently in the original spot (almost always it ends up a few feet away, sometimes knocked over on a side).

Maybe it's different where the author lives.
Ask HN: How to detect when a bullet hits a cardboard?
Working on a project to create dynamic moving targets, and I need some practical ideas on how I can detect when a piece of cardboard acting as the target is hit. Ammunition used will most likely be standard 9mm Luger or .223 Remington.

Expected problems:

* The target can be as far as 25 yards.

* It is possible a good shooter can hit or intersect with the same spot multiple times, so counting simple circles would not be sufficient.

* It would be best if we can also detect how close to the bullseye was the shot, but that's not a requirement.

Side note: the “forecaster’s discussion” for your local NWS forecast area is easily the best one you can find. It’s the one all your weather apps and local TV meteorologists crib from. Sure, there’s a bit of meteorological terminology to learn, but they often link off to a glossary (then you can put that term into Wikipedia).

My favorite part of the forecasts is that they tell you unequivocally when they are confident in something and when they are not sure. They are not afraid to say a qualified “we don’t know”. This is is a stark contrast to almost every other forecast falsely projecting complete confidence trying to vie for viewership to attract advertising dollars.
Good for you! A comment, purely anecdotal obviously, but after seeing my parents for the Holidays I was reminiscing about fond memories and actually (at least with my dad) many of them were around work stuff we did together. He worked on barcode scanners and I thought it was so cool when he would show them to me and explain how they worked. So sometimes, work can be family time too!
This is assuming we treat profit as immutable. Which is, I suppose, “rule one” in business, no?

And in most cases - hey that’s fine. I disagree but it’s ok.

One area where I will always push back is on services that are required for life. Food. Shelter. Power (electric, etc) … healthcare.

If the service is critical, profit should be considered last, if at all. (As I write this, my elec provider has doubled its generation rate this month… yet making tons of profit for its shareholders…)
No the most important part is that there is an industry that has research & developed and advertised the technology so that the masses can take part of it.

Something that has been in the making as I said, over 100 years for EVs.

Elon has done the advertisement part, but he's only 1 person not an entire industry.
Investors don’t make money from buying homes and not using them, they make money from renting them. Houses rot if not used.

Why are people downvoting and flagging this comment? The top and bottom are literal quotes from The Little Schemer and the rest is just a short review of the books and an honest assessment of the trouble with the Socratic method (it doesn't work for everyone).
Although Roblox takes about a 75% cut (to cover their Apple/Google Play fees, servers, and leaving some for profit), it’s still going a bit better than Candy Japan did.

With CJ I kept even less (I think it was somewhere around 10-20%) of revenue after all the goods, shipping, packaging, marketing costs.

I’m also enjoying it much more. It’s less repetitive, as
with gamedev you can challenge yourself as much as you want to. I no longer have support email to respond to. And I don’t have to do icky promotional stuff as the Roblox algorithm sends you traffic as long as your game has good metrics (similar to YouTube).

Did the free market set the prevailing risk free interest rate in CAN ?

Did the free market supply the homeowner and title insurance ?

Did the free market determine the rules for zoning that plague most large metro areas and adjoining suburbs?
> I don't think that's right. A lot of YouTubers make videos detailing their YouTube earnings and post them to YouTube (for example [1]). If it were against the ToS, you'd think YouTube would at least remove those videos.

From memory, the issue is publicly disclosing CPM among some other things (at least it was 4+ years ago).

I actually wonder if posting it off-platform is even allowed, I've seen Twitch enforce their platform exclusivity for 24 hours for Partners.
It isn’t all foreigners that is for sure.

I'm sure there are other ways that are seamless, but I don't see the strife/friction that most people seem to have to get others to overcome when trying get them to us a password manger.
> Tokyo doesn't have many high rises.

Right, but only because of the seismic activity, from what I know. In most other places that wouldn't be an issue.

Nevertheless, Tokio is still relatively dense with tightly packed mid-rises, and actively building.
Well, you know, there's nothing preventing you from switching from SWE into the trades if you consider it to be more lucrative. Why not jump at the opportunity while it's still hot?

Snarky notwithstanding, my point simply is that if the trades are not a desired occupation, that must be for a reason, likely a socioeconomic one. You cannot force people to enter an undesired occupation.
> I don't think of many of those that feel modern.

This is a bit interesting to me, which bundled apps don't feel modern to you? Mail, Notes, Pages, Safari... they all seem modern enough to me.

Fascinating, I'm sorry your search has yet to yield results but maybe you could try to join up with a company that mainly supports law enforcement as I guess they probably have a robust toolset. I've heard of Othram through acquaintances, may be worth a shot
Current project (business backend server in C++) that would qualify for attack sits behind NGINX. Looking at the logs I see all kinds of attempts related to Wordpress, PHP, etc. etc. Also we use 3rd party protection on production before NGINX.

Since the server exposes proprietary JSON API with what I would say extreme validation before trying to actually do anything nothing that seems to be illegal gets in.

I mean it is not 100% guarantee as nothing else in our lives but so far nothing extraordinary (keeping my fingers crossed).
Opposite anecdote: I walked into a model home, talked to the builder, chose a plot of land in the community, chose a floor plan with the options I wanted and had a brand new house built on it within 6 months.

I did that twice…

Both times in metro Atlanta.
Also just saying a language's C++ interop is better simply because it's easier doesn't really pass the smell test for me. If I need to write some interop for a C++ library, I'm going to prefer one that's more reliable than one that's easy but can fail in weird ways. And unless my project is an interoperability library, I'm not sold on "harder = worse" when I'm most likely going to write the interop once, ever, and be done with it. If it takes me a day, but then I can rely on it to function well and fail in predictable ways, I'm still on board. There's nothing wrong with something being difficult if the result removes a ton of mental load.

I'm not a fan of this article's conclusions at all.

The US obviously has its own problems, and I absolutely don't know the US market well enough. My comments are based around canada banning foreigners from buying homes and my knowledge on similar issues in NZ/AU.

The US however is a huge plot of land with varying housing prices across the country, even if you had foreigners buying properties, it doesn't have the same impact on the country as it does in NZ/AU/Canada.

Populations:

Canada: 38m

Australia: 25m

New Zealand: 5m

US: 332m

The impact hurts us more than the US.
America had many many years of accepting credit cards before it was feasible to bring the readers to the table, and by then it was ingrained. My impression is that Europe it was much more common to pay at a counter before wireless card readers came about in the late 90s/early 2000s.

It's becoming more common to bring readers to tables in America now, because Visa and MasterCard have realized the security benefits and are encouraging it, but there's literally 50 years of habit.
