Hey HN, I've been working on Spence, a Generative HR tool I believe can change the job seeking game for many. Here's the lowdown:

https://www.kindbuds.ai/ght/spence

* Input: Provide Spence with your current resume.

* Target: Share a job listing you're interested in.

* Output: Spence analyzes the job description, then refines your resume and crafts a cover letter, making sure both align closely with the job's requirements.

The main idea? Too many resumes get lost in automated systems or aren't tailored enough for the specific job. Spence helps bridge that gap by ensuring your documents are as relevant as possible to the position you're applying for.

Keen to hear your feedback, and if anyone's up for testing, I'm all ears. I'm also for hire.
If you think the web is bad, check out what Apple is planning for their AR headset. The future is apparently a platform so locked down that as a developer you can't directly access the primary input device (eye tracking) at all, you can only pick from a palette of predefined UI behaviors. You can't have access to the cameras to do any custom computer vision; hope you like the primitives Apple deigns to provide to you. And you can't even write your own shaders to render custom graphics; you'll have a preset material model and you'll like it. https://twitter.com/Tojiro/status/1667028702734209025

Honestly I guess it's similar in capabilities to the early web before the introduction of JavaScript, where all custom code had to run on the server. Maybe Apple's plan is to increase capabilities over time the same way the web did. I kind of don't think so, though.
Correct user counts need to have a web-of-trust applied if you want an accurate count of "real followers", but I suspect that's the same on X as well.

As one of the largest accounts on nostr I can say there aren't many "crypto" fans on the network, those are all on farcaster. Lots of bitcoiners and freedom lovers though! Maybe try following #grownostr, there is lots of non-"crypto" content, mostly gardening, homesteading, etc.

You have to curate your feed to see the things you want by following specific people. There are no algorithms that automatically tailor the feed to your interests. If you go into the "global" or "universe" feed you will see lots of crap, but that is just noise that can be filtered out by setting your global feed to only show paid relays.
you can just call them Xits

musk brought this on himself with the smiling poop emoji responses to press requests, what are we supposed to think?
It's 2 miles below the surface. They'll be perfectly fine.
Well we're at an impasse of anecdotes here. I don't know what to stay.
Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) means (A) airborne objects that are not immediately identifiable; (B) transmedium objects or devices; (C) and submerged objects or devices that are not immediately identifiable
this doesn't explain why they're doing it, though. what's the point?
Harvard professor Avi Loeb says metallic spheres are alien in origin
Relevant Andy Weir short story: http://www.galactanet.com/oneoff/twarrior.html
Ethernet over residential cat3 is often viable. Many homes have cat3 wiring for telephone. The spec for gigE says you need cat5 (maybe cat5e) for running 100m in dense bundles; shorter links in single runs can work on lesser cable.

Telephone wiring is pretty tolerant, so you might have daisy chain, star/home run, or a cursed mix. With star wiring, you just put rj45 ports on both ends, and a ethernet switch at the nexus point (which hopefully isn't outside, but often is). For daisy chain, you can put an upstream and a downstream port in each room where the connection chains, and either place a switch there if you've got wired devices for that room, or a short patch cable if not.

For a cursed mix, you've got to find the splice points, and break apart and have one port for each direction.

Depending on your wiring and your immediate connectivity needs, you might be able to do this a little bit at a time. There are also some in-wall access points with ethernet switches which could be worth considering, if you need a switch in each room anyway.
The FBI took control of the botnet and re-purposed it to patch the vulnerable machines. This sounds like a novel practice addition to me?

I've done some limited consulting in this space in my career, and I agree that the code (and architecture) I've seen is pretty brittle junk. It's on par with the worst enterprise code I've seen. It's a numbers game for them. And, it's just a different work experience and skill tree that drives people to create "great code" (as it would be measured in professional software development circles.)
And even more if you count the taps/swipes to unlock the screen! So people generally don't.

The part of them being "almost two miles below the surface" might be one of the reasons they mention it so brazenly, totally in agreement with you, but someone at two miles depth with a net is probably unlikely here.
It's time to regulate these social media companies as utilities. If a platform has more than N million users, and its main feature is communication between humans, then it should be subject to regulation.
No, you use X for free.
>If you have a cable modem fed by the same RG6 plant, you CANNOT use the RG6 plant for in-house MOCA

you can. they use different frequencies. only docsis4 may start overlap with moca. i had docsis 3.1 modem and moca 2.5 on same wiring without any problem
Surely you’re not justifying multi-decade sentences for insults? Or execution for retweets? I don’t think opposing those things falls into the category of “white people” human rights…

Wayland is pretty much the only shiny new Linux tech I don't want. I have no desire to use sysvinit or non PipeWire sound or anything but NetworkManager.... but Wayland is a step backwards in features, because they delegate things to individual implementations.

What about screen sharing? What about global shortcuts? What about -X style network transparency?

I am not a fan of fake standards that aren't actually standards and leave important stuff undefined, inviting everyone to just leave out those things.
Zero. Notifications disabled outside of biz hours. There will always be a job, living life only happens once. Family, loved ones, and friends will miss you and you being in the moment with them, your job will slot another cog into the machine without skipping a beat.
One problem is that if they start policing spam, they might have to answer to Congress' opinions about content that is "as bad as spam" or worse like so-called misinformation. That is one reason (constitutional protection of freedom of speech) that the USPS ships so much junk mail around even when they could from an operational perspective (but again, not a constitutional perspective) decline it. I am not saying that the constitution protects phishing emails, but I am saying that claims of the technology not being developed yet for policing online content are one major reason the recent age verification push in Australia did not go into effect. It is not an unmitigated good for control at that level of granularity to be possible.

That's not what I said. Technology is not a singular set of advancements to the next. As usual, nothing but bad faith responses. Good luck with whatever.

Emergency numbers would rarely go onto trunk lines though, so in that case, I suppose speed of dialing was actually the main concern.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magdeburg_hemispheres

might be a fun clickhole to figure out what this was called in its time. Like, what was on the posters?

the first section of whose book Technica Curiosa, titled Mirabilia Magdeburgica, was dedicated to von Guericke's work. The earliest reference to the celebrated Magdeburg hemispheres experiment is on page 39 of the Technica Curiosa,

That title is certainly closer to "Tech Demos".
SEEKING WORK | Oregon | Remote

My name is Joe. I am a software engineer. I build my own software, Awayto, which you can currently demo at https://awayto.store to see my output. The demo features a communications platform, similar to what you would expect if you were running an online writing center. There is RBAC, scheduling & online appointments, voice/video calling, shared whiteboard/document marking, and more. However, the system is built in a generic fashion where features can be added or removed on a whim, leading to a pivotable system for whatever business you're creating.

I'm interested in working with businesses with the above feature set interests, educational groups, community services, and so on. The software is fully open source and runs bare metal or (currently) on hetzner. As a freelancer I am looking for work on projects of similar scope, as well as implement Awayto for your own purposes, should you need.

I've been developing for 25 years and am of course open to other projects as well. And I look forward to hearing what ideas you have, and your needs.

Please contact me at joe \at\ keybittech.com for any inquiries, and check my profile for more info and links to my work.
Meh, he has a vested interest for his conclusions so I take them with a grain of salt. It book was interested in the conclusions laid out compelling but my intuition says there is a more rational explanation
> This is ridiculous. The domain was strengthening the ARM trademark, it wasn't infringing.

This is like a small company or group asking for something from a company cause it will be "free advertising". No it's not and most companies won't do that.
One of the other comments (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37335912) mentions that it's possible to use `nu` for its (5) solutions without switching to it as a shell:

nu --commands 'ls | where size > 1MiB'

So it seems possible to use nu and its coreutils equivalents / filters as an “island” having structured output and easy parsing etc, without switching one's shell.
There's a wide gap between the DIY enthusiast channel showing you how to repair your home and the average youtuber just in for the money.
Most Wayland compositors work on Nvidia now, though
Interesting how they neglected to discuss their methodology for determining what was “extremist” material.

Structura Biotechnology | Product Engineer | Full-time | ONSITE (Toronto) | https://structura.bio/

We're hiring a Product Engineer to join our team building scientific software systems used by thousands of scientists at pharmaceutical companies, biotechs and academic research labs to compute and visualize 3D structures of proteins and other important biomolecules as part of their research and drug discovery loops.

This role would comprise of full-stack development of user-driven tools that interface with our software systems and high-performance compute backend. This position is for someone with a wealth of experience building software on a team. It is not solely focused on development, but also necessitates understanding of user workflows in order to creatively design and build UI features to empower scientists.

We've been shipping Svelte in production since 2020 - our stack is now primarily SvelteKit and TypeScript.

You can learn more about the role and apply here: https://structura.bio/careers/product-engineer
Shameless self promotion of my own AI experiments.

Around 110000 files checked out related to the OEIS database. The project is open source here:
https://loda-lang.org/

I'm experimenting training a vision transformer with ARC tasks. There are 800 tasks, and each task augmented yields around 10000 files. However my ViT code cannot solve any ARC tasks, but my non-ViT code solves 6 ARC tasks.

Soothing Lisp (and Shen) Agitprop
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_W6GBFtmYxw -- here's the Youtube link for those who use that.

Mark Tarver, creator of Shen, made some really cool videos introducing Shen. If you like the history of computing, language design, Lisp machines, etc, you're in for a treat.

If you are a C-style-syntax person, I hereby place an official trigger warning :) there are perhaps one or two statements which could be hard listening.

I feel like you are purposely misrepresenting what the article the other poster linked said. At least try to have some good faith discussion.

You completely leave out any reference to this bill: https://www.congress.gov/bill/98th-congress/senate-bill/948.
> It’s developed in Estonia!

It's actually developed by mostly Russian and Belorussian developers who live in Switzerland, New Zealand, Russia, and Belarus. Also, there are some significant contributions from residents of other countries, but none of them are from Estonia.
Looks like the only Estonian thing is legal entity for doing business.

But nevertheless, I agree that Estonia is remarkable for its IT culture. I used to work with several Estonian colleagues, and they are great engineers whom I highly respect as professionals.
Safety/Alignment researchers have been too fixated on making the one perfect LLM that has zero bias (or, arguably, one preferred bias) in my opinion.

I don't think Musk is the type of person to make the same mistake, so we'll either end up with a Twitter LLM that accurately represents the sum total of the Twitter firehose, and/or many derivative LLMs each having a set of, possibly orthogonal, biases. Honestly, I think the later is preferable and would represent the diversity of opinions in reality more accurately.

Given the data source, I think it will be important to be able to switch between LLM personalities in the future to get the "crowd truth".
I was really confused too going through when I got to "What color is the S3 icon?" I was happy to finally get one and confidently answered green only to be told I was wrong. I even went to check the console and it was green, that's when I started wondering where they were pulling these from and someone else mentioned it.
I might be loose with my terminology, but hooks as standard as `useState` or `useRef` will trigger errors like:

You're importing a component that needs useState. It only works in a Client Component but none of its parents are marked with "use client", so they're Server Components by default.

There are ways around this, some of which he mentions in the post. It can just get tricky when you are trying to do complex composition.

Another thing that hits me is when I have a server component that is marked as `async` and then for some reason it ends up on the client and I get the error that says something like "We don't support async components on the client yet ..." and I have to spend some time looking at my display hierarchy trying to figure out what is causing a client to import it.

It reminds me of the "colored functions" blog post about async/await. You end up with colored components in your app which otherwise look and act the same. But now you have to be careful how you compose them together.
Seems like a bunch of minor things, but learned a lot from you today, appreciate it.
I love visualization tools like these. The only suggestion I would have would be to keep the labels between pages consistent. The only example I have is that on the fallback compatibility message is labeled as "Compatibility Message" on the HTML Audio Generator page but "Browser compatibility value" on the HTML Progress Generator page. I wasn't sure if the latter had some special property to it, but it doesn't
It is my understanding that 'octopuses' is the strictly correct option because it matches a greek root word with an English suffix and we are speaking English after all. Dictionaries seem to agree.

Octopodes is acceptable in some contexts because it matches a greek root word with a greek suffix. Octopi is just wrong because it applies a latin suffix to a greek root.

Sad in this case but absolutely true.
I feel like we should settle it with something that nobody agrees on. Octopuswiches.
You write "town", so I'll suggest that if indeed there's an elected city council, and you're willing to be a bit militant, you can put pressure on the situation.

Put together an oral argument and rehearse it to fit whatever is the time limit for speakers from the public, and sign up to speak at the next meeting. Angles to consider: ageism, economic justice, equal protection under the law, identity theft, vetting of software vendors.

For added force, get in touch with neighbors, try to stir up a bit of indignation from them as well, and channel it into showing up at the meeting with you for visible support. Better yet, urge them to take a speaking slot themselves. Coordinate content of your respective presentations, and help tune each others, at least at the level of reviewing speaking notes, ideally with a standup practice run-through.

If there's a local paper that covers council meetings, write a "letter to the editor". And try to get their attention onto your talk with a heads-up to them just before the meeting at which you will speak.
Gonna take a lot of time apparently. So much gaslighting in these responses.

I guess I can see why we still have all those "tech is a hostile industry to women/minorities" stuff even in the 2020's. People legitimately think they can talk like Linus Torvald could back in the 90's.But at least Linus was talking to faceless volunteers he had little power over.
It has been this way for awhile now, yes. You buy their premium subscription and then you get part of your ad revenue.
I strongly disagree that these are big problems in practice. There are macros you can use to make newtypes more ergonomic to use and reduce boilerplate, etc. The advantage it gives is forced adherence to many implicit assumptions of library authors, which means that it's a lot easier (read: preventing subtle bugs) to compose different libraries. Meanwhile, allowing it might split and completely break the ecosystem.
Okay, it MAY be possible for them to coexist, but speeds will be degraded.
