A cynical person might read this as: "Even if you don't use SUSE, you can still give us your money"

But SuSE Linux was my first Linux distro, an for the past couple of years[0], I've been a happy openSUSE user, so I'm not that cynical.

Ask HN: Easy studio quality video production on a laptop?
Hello, everyone! I'm building an app that enhances video content, making it more engaging and professional. I'm interested in learning about your experience and struggles with video creation and/or doing live presentations and streams.

Here are a few questions for discussion:

1. How important is it to create visually appealing, high-quality video content in your industry/profession, and has it helped you reach a larger audience or generate more feedback/sales?

2. Have you used any existing tools/software to enhance your video content? If so, what limitations or areas for improvement did you encounter?

3. If creating quality video content didn't require equipment, learning video production skills, or hiring professionals, would it become your preferred method for knowledge sharing, communication, or sales?

More about this idea: Conceptually it's an automated studio within your laptop, that can assist in creation and delivering your presentation/lecture/webinar so it will look professionally made. All without buying equipment or getting technical skills.

Any feedback is much appreciated!
I got to try one (several
big companies got them in advance) absolutely brilliant.

I was worried my Unity Game dev contracts were dead for good, but I'm back now baby.

Apple saved my consulting biz with their Unity partnership!
OK, so Zig to C is like Typescript to Javascript.
Oculus were nobodies more or less back then and didn't have apple's supply chain expertise, and even still their devkits were only like $300 USD 10 years ago.

I feel like the major cuts are because of lack of hype. I don't think anybody understands if there is a market for this, so nobody is sure how much money to put into developing for it.

To me this feels like the first apple product in a long time without a compelling use case and no solid idea of who the potential customer is.

Advicerco. | Staff Software Engineer | REMOTE (US) | Full Time/Contract | $100k-$200k

Advicerco is enabling people to maximize the efficiency of every dollar by building a cash-flow based management platform for their finances. It takes into account their goals and assets and uses them, the the help of an advisor, to assemble an automated flow based system to manage their funds. By changing the way that people view and use their money, we are both changing the perception of money, altering people’s relationship with it, and reducing the everyday stress of dealing with income and budgets.

We are currently looking for full stack engineers with a penchant for product, who are willing to both help find the best solution for how we interact with our finances, as well as building out a system for handling those finances in the background. We believe strongly in testing, as money is not a thing to be trifled with.

We're looking for:

* You an experienced developer, with at least 5 years of experience, knowledge of javascript/typescript or a fierce desire to learn.
* Experience building event based, and highly asynchronous solutions
* A lack of fear in solving hard problems, and writing tests to prove it.

Our stack is typescript with react, built in AWS. While you don't have to know everything, you should be familiar with lambda and how it works in different contexts. We also use postgres as our database.

If you're interested, come check out a better description and apply here:

Alternatively, send an email to jobs@advicerco.com
I've experienced all these problems. There are solutions trying to address them. E.g. https://incident.io/ (which I'm not affiliated with in any way). It's not easy though. I think they all come from the root cause of teams not investing enough into making oncall processes and solutions good, and in particular not keeping things up-to-date. As you say, runbooks are often outdated. The same happens with lists mapping component ownership to teams.

There's another problem (#8 to add to the list) I also felt pain from: how you're scheduled to work oncall. We had ad-hoc manual scheduling of who would work oncall when. A tool for solving that is https://oncallscheduler.com (which I am affiliated with). It automates the oncall scheduling, while making it fair, predictable, and gives all engineers self-service control over when and how they're scheduled. I'd love some feedback on it.

If you allow it I think most minifiers nowadays use `void 0` for undefined as it’s smaller.

Though I should try this, using a variable alias for undefined and null would maximize minification.

Show HN: JobLens – AI-powered job search for 'Who Is Hiring'
There are existing HN job aggregators, but I thought we could take it a step further.
Inspired by an insightful comment on a previous thread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36163021), I built a tool that aggregates job postings and intelligently categorizes them based on user-specific preferences:

* Country and remote work preferences

* Employer type (e.g., startup, corporation, government)

* Industry

* Technologies used

* Role type (developer, architect, product owner, etc.)

* Salary range (where available)

One of the superpowers of LLMs is reformatting information from any format X to any other format Y.
We leverage this to map all the unstructured job postings into the same unified structure. The new GPT functions feature and the extended context windows are really helpful for this.
Instead of having to build a custom NER pipeline, it works very well with GPT out-of-the box.

One challenge is keeping the filters consistent and merging of duplicates. Embeddings help with that.

What's next:

* Integrate additional sources. We can generate web scrapers and data processing steps on the fly that extract and transform data into the same structure.

* Add location distance filters.

* Expand beyond jobs to monitor personalized data like events or real estate. Imagine using AI to rate local events from multiple sources based on your preferences, considering factors like your interests and distance from home.

* Smaller improvements based on your feedback :)
I frequently get told that the newest version of the JVM can do everything the Erlang VM can do and I should consider switching. Even here, in the comments of hacker news, I've witnessed JVM fanboys proclaim that Erlang, if "properly" implemented, for the JVM, would be faster and more performant then the Erlang VM.

Résumé/CV: https://www.calibrateyourbusiness.com/static/karim-nassar-re...

Email: founders.email@calibrateyourbusiness.com

Are you a founder looking for a technical partner without all the
up-front commitment? I can help you build your product and hire a
tech team.

I am a hands-on 20-year pro looking to help an early stage company
take product development to the next level over the next year at
contract rate plus stock grant.

I have diverse experience across many verticals and industries, as
well as 8x startup experiences, some leading to successful exits - the
Rubicon Project, TrueCar, Jam City. Put another way, I have seen it
all and can help you avoid the common pitfalls of early-stage tech
development.

After our engagement, you will have a testable, scalable stack as
well as a team to manage and expand it, no strings attached. If
everything goes amazing, we can even continue working together.
It's not even that complicated, you just need to prompt it properly and it won't respond with those disclaimers.
Kinda my point exactly, though. Commenting and discussing is really the bread and butter of social right now. This site included. But, pure note taking never made sense. Companies pursuing annotation missed the fact that Vbulletin, Reddit, discord, etc all solve the same problem in a different way.
What you’re missing is that with LLMs the chief obstacle with voice assistants changed overnight from “how do we develop a system that can easily interact in natural language” (at the time, a very hard and possibly unsolvable problem) to “how do we expose our systems to API-driven input/output” (a solvable problem that just takes time).

Case in point, I asked Siri to change my work address. She stated that I needed to use the Contacts app to do that. This is not very helpful. The issue here is not Siri’s inability to understand what I want, it is that the Contacts app does not support this method of data input. Siri is also probably not very good at extracting structured address information from me via natural language, but the new LLMs can do this easily.
Can I confess something? I know that the Wikipedia licence requires (both the old and the new) linking the CC licence every time I quote something from Wikipedia[0], but I only link the Wikipedia article, and never link the CC licence.

So many human workyears poured into licences, and still even the most basic things are total moronic.

edit: actually I have no idea why does the CC licence contain that part? Any ideas?

[0] : "You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license," - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/
>nowadays tied to how (static and dynamic) linking works

and this is the case because of C, which was my point. The fact that OS'es are written in C and thus have a C libraries and APIs is why you must respect C's rules for identifier names.

Also, yes compilers for other languages essentially name-mangle anyway, that's how (modern) fortran which is case sensitive and C++ which isn't (but tacks on a bunch of things to function identifiers) work. But the point about naming conventions or recommendations still stands, like a lot of things it is a fact of history favoring C, not that there is anything inherently better about it.
When I drove a stick even I hardly used the parking brake. If its flat ground keeping it in gear or in park is fine.
Multiple promising experiments show that it's technically possible. That's an important step, but still mostly shows this is theoretically working until you can show me a profitable company that replaced human drivers without huge VC subsidies.
How about you OP?

Marketing, Technical Marketing, and Product Marketing Roles

Who Am I?

20 year marketing veteran with technical background and experience in product, product marketing, and growth.

Began my career as a software developer in a startup in a semiconductor-related software field. Moved into a hybrid product/product marketing role. Worked alongside our B2B sales and marketing team in a cross-functional role, and collaborated with our global engineering teams and partners for global B2B marketing and sales activities.

Now I'm interested in finding a new growth or marketing role in tech. I'm open to a variety of industries.

If you are hiring, the roles I fill are similar to those “in-between” roles that fall into two categories:
(a)Engineering teams with expertise and need a technical marketing person to help translate their expertise into sales/marketing content
(b)A MarCom team who knows branding and content, but needs some assistance translating marketing speak into technical audiences

Thanks for reading!
Hawaii already has this rule for what it's worth. The issue there is that they have so many EV's on the road that these chargers are always in use and have lines (and aren't really that fast to begin with). Having experienced that, I still wouldn't get an EV without a guaranteed place to charge at home.
Current AI doesn't give us what Hofstadter has said he wants from AI.

If you try ChatGPT on any of his creative analogy problems it fails completely. Given abc->abd, what does xyz go to? ChatGPT says xyd until you further prompt it.

It is a little disappointing that useful language is translation is possible with that little understanding of content. Most sentences a person might choose to say don't mean very much.

I'm depressed by that too. There's something about the facility and the emptiness of these models that suggests our ability to think is a lame trick.

I think "competent" is the wrong adjective, though. "Capable" is more accurate and the distinction there is the issue.
there was poc of sqlite on top of FDB. There is also sql layer that Apple did not open source that they use at scale. Just seems a wasted opportunity.
That 0.5% number can't possibly be right. Every time I post a picture on social media I know that multiple people "consume" it. And I'm no one special.

Self driving cars already exist and like the article discusses, they do store massive amounts of data about what they saw. AV companies aren't paying to send (most of) that data over cellular though. It'd completely overwhelm the network. Instead, they're storing it locally and offloading when the vehicle returns to the garage. That data currently remains available internally for use in test scenario development, for legal reasons, and to be able to run post-hoc analyses to find old instances of newly discovered misbehavior, among others.
But I would expect a different sentiment of comments on a site called Hacker News.
A young man in his 20's starting his career will never know understand how things worked without the tech. A man in his 30's see's an opportunity to boost his career, and an older man in his 50's see's a long fought career's worth of expertise being thrown away.

First link: How is it possible that Java can achieve same perf as C??? I write a lot of Java, and none of my stuff is close to C. I guess about 50% the speed -- which fine for my needs.

One reason (totally unscientific, of course) I think Java is faster: The virtual machine has been open source for longer. So more academics have looked at, run experiments, written papers... that are then read by the core Java team and sometimes implemented. C# is a bit behind, but should catch-up one day.

Oh man does SUSE(often via Microsoft referrals) provide support for a lot of Linux distros. If you are willing, they'll pretty much support any reasonable distro.

Ages ago at a large managed hosting company we had 10s of 10000s of RHEL licenses but we also had a lot of people using CentOS for various reasons. Long story short, since CentOS only supported the current point release at the time we had a lot of boxes out there that needed critical patches.

SUSE provided us with CVE fixes for any CentOS release we wanted to support and we were able to distribute them via our internal RHN system to CentOS machines.

It made the auditors happy.
Everyone who I have seen speak positively about ChatGPT and the like have all suggested applications that are just awful.

It's going to be terrible in a few years time when you try to cancel a subscription or raise a complaint with a company and they throw an AI in front of you. Most call centres are designed to waste your time so you go away, we are going to see impressive new frontiers of absolute bullshit form.
It’s because you introduce a lot of latency. Cockroachdb for example (which is a great db) has a lot of latency compared to Postgres.

At the time of its release it was probably hard to justify having an order of magnitude more latency than competitors (of course they were not fault tolerant, but still).

In the case of Wikipedia the scale is vast in terms of social impact and so the effect is large even for a small change...in a the-universe-includes-a-lot-of-corner-cases sort of way.

Time Is Broken, According to This New Theory [video]
The unit basically runs all day during the day on hot days. The difference is, as you state, it runs long cycles. The 15 minutes it's off is the break in the cycle itself. The unit I have is a communicating unit that "learns" the house in terms of all the internal and external changes. So it knows what fan speed and compressor rate to run to get to the setpoint - it doesn't just ramp up to the highest rate after a curtailment event. So it's basically running at a very low rate all day long, curtailment happens, and it ramps slightly if there's a need to bring any zones back to setpoint - but the thermostat is aware of the curtailment event and, as I was told, responds different after the curtailment is lifted. I talked to both the installer and the manufacturer regarding whether or not curtailment would negatively impact the system (performance, cost, longevity) and the consensus was that unless the curtailment events happened every hour there wasn't any downside to cooling. Heating would be another story, but I don't have any curtailment contract for heating in my home.

And I believe the contract states curtailment events can only happen up to 4 times in a given day and cannot happen more than once an hour.
