Ask HN: Self-Taught Programmer Looking for a Unpaid Tech Internship
Hi,I am looking for a tech internship for a company to improve and enhance my skills. I have some experience in marketing and business as well.I am currently working at an AI company in the business development role.
I am really at a tech beginner level so for context,I can only solve some easy problems at leetcode like palindrome validator etc.I have some experience in C++ , Java-script and Python. If you guys feel like you need someone like me,I am happy to interview and submit my resume.
Edit: I know this might be weird posting here so please do let me know if there are good platforms for posting these sort of requests since i am not aware of them currently
Baltic Sea Saboteurs Strike Again
I build little CLI tools in Python non-stop. ChatGPT and some basic knowledge of how the `click` library works has made it almost completely trivial to get the ball rolling for whatever need I have for it, `--help` text included.

The fact that the barrier for creation is so low means I'm even willing to do them to solve very niche problems in generalizable ways. [1] is common enough that a few people have starred it. [2] is niche enough that other Anki folks haven't used it AFAICT. [3] is likely something I'll never personally need again, even though Azure VM reservations not letting you customize your reminders for when they're about to expire is probably a costly mistake for a great many firms.

All started with this same starting methodology, because what I wanted was just a little too fiddly to want to hack together with my shell toolkit.

"The comparison should be with human drivers operating under similar conditions and on similar roads, similar cars(eg. new ones), weather conditions etc."

It is my guess only, but a significant difference would be that robots cannot get drunk, don't drive in a sleep-deprived state and don't get distracted by texting at the wheel.
Excellent suggestions. Thanks so much!

1. Agreed on this! We plan to offer this as a service along side our API offering at some point.

2. We’d be adding more authentication mechanisms soon so API tokens will be supported alongside OAuth.

Ask HN: Better Mailchimp Alternative?
I am fed up with growing pricing on Mailchimp. can somebody recommend a better email newsletter service than Mailchimp and is way cheaper than the Mailchimp.

TIA!
I have been using Typer on every one of my CLI projects which uses Click under the hood. The documentation is fantastic, the CLI app it produces looks great and Typer lets you create things quickly. I high recommend it.

I have a company (only me in it but having an actual company looking pro Does make you more money and gives more freedoms like wfh for all years I have worked after/during uni) for 30 years that works for other companies creating products for/with them. If you work like this for a company like Gemalto or startups with VC invest, 250-300/hr are on the table. I have almost no overheads and invest almost everything so the gross has been close to net for practical purposes.

But you are right; the hardware market is harder than making web stuff. I just enjoy hardware/firmware more. Currently I am starting a new hardware/firmware project for a US company that will last 3 years with this income.

It depends where you live, spend and how you count; i optimised everything for the past 25+ years around making sure I never have to think about money if I would drop everything today. Your situation might be very different of course.

An alternative viewpoint on software:

https://www4.di.uminho.pt/~jno/ps/pdbc.pdf

Rather then using blurry fuzzy concepts about software. This book is called "Program design by calculation".

Which is to view software through the theoretical lens of math, science and engineering rather then "philosophy".

Should software design be interpreted using the blurry and hand wavy concepts of philosophy and literature? or should it be theoretically laid out completely with all primitives formally specified like newtons laws of motion? Can we model software in a very formal way and come to make EXACT statements and conclusions about program design rather then a bunch of opinionated takes?

Unfortunately, like all hard sciences pdbc is much harder to understand then a "philosophy" so most people end up switching majors to philosophy.

Or Perhaps it's not about the challenge... you just prefer the philosophical approach over the theoretical one. Your preference is very valid.

But to you I would ask: can you build a bridge, a car, or an airliner with philosophy? Or do you need hard formal theory and sciences? If we don't have hard and formal theory about software design are we being limited in what we can build?
I didn't know it used Click under the hood. That's really good to know!
the only reason we don't hear non-stop about destruction is that you're required to keep both hands on the wheel/yolk at ALL times while FSD is activated. comparing the current cameras on a Tesla to the human eye is just silly really, sure they cover 360 which is superior, but in almost any other way, the human eye is superior having better dynamic range, better contrast, better resolution and best of all, we have eye lids. if you would just sit down and think about it for 10 mins you'll realize that gimping your self driving car by using cameras only is just a very very silly proposition when we have all this cool tech like lidar essentially giving the car super powers.

> Oh whatever. Short of attacking the driver I saw most of that in a relatively short stay in Paris.

When public transit advocates dismiss such inhuman conditions as a non-concern, I can only laugh. The average driver in America will never be shot at in any point in their entire life, but by your own admission inhumane filthy conditions are so common on city buses that you saw all of the above behaviors, excepting only the assault, during a short stay in Paris. I prefer the very infinitesimally small chance of getting into some sort of Mad Max scenario in my car to a 100% chance of encountering disgusting filth on a city bus. Most Americans agree with me. Most people who say they disagree actually have no choice and when they say they prefer the bus they're just coping: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fox_and_the_Grapes

If America had a civil and clean population like Japan, then the situation could be different. Clean city buses would be inoffensive, but that's not the reality we're dealing with. The deranged antisocial population of America is substantial. Maybe you'll say that we should fix that. You bet your ass we should. But until that happens, don't expect people to put up with city buses when they have any other choice. Just because you're okay with wallowing in filth doesn't mean the rest of us should be.
I think this was a bit tricky in the sense its such a qualitative matter essentially and the heart of the the opposing position seems not really falsifiable (the longer a series runs = crappier a series "becomes" -> the more it dilutes the overall qualitative artistic and intangible entertainment value+prestige of not only the series as a whole but also the individual episodes that precede such enshittification and with which one could hypothetically have previously expressed and documented satisfaction. Regardless of whether this was said outright, the logic here seems to be such.

Why don't we just normalize ex post facto law while we're at it?

I feel like we all might have gotten a bit lost in the plot here but I will leave you with this quote that I feel corroborates the encapsulation I have presented here:

> I tried to vibe with this POV. What's wrong with more content? But it really does cheapen the art/media you used to adore. Even if you try to ignore it, i.e. you don't have to watch / read all the Star Trek content that has been produced in the last 20 years, and after picard season 1 I completely checked out of all of it, but it just kind of makes everything you loved seem so empty. It was all about generating positive cash flows...the whole time.

I don't think it's that people don't notice or see, it's that the recognition is mostly subconcious.

I was once driving on a 3 lane highway with a semi going slowly in the middle lane. I was in the left lane and passed him but needed the right lane for an upcoming exit. I pass the semi, slide into the middle lane and then wait. I realized I was waiting on a small blue car that, sure enough, popped out of the right lane going faster than either one of us.

And I realized I had processed that a small blue car was also passing the semi going faster than either the semi or myself and that I needed to wait for them before completing my move into the far right lane.

I think often times things get processed at a subconcious level and I imagine that's what was happening with the anecdote about arrows.
Six perfect cuts and two 53-47 splits (#6 and #8). For some shapes I was pretty analytical; for example #2 has 21 small squares, so I tried to first cover 11 squares then move it upward by a fifth of the unit. This approach apparently didn't work well for irregular shapes.
The rant is not about layering being wrong, but rather that OSI is unsuitable to describe the layering of modern computer networks.

In an earlier text, he said it's as if college taught you what the parts of a horse-drawn carriage are and what part of a modern car you need to point at when the instructor asks you where the loin straps are.
I don't have extensive experience with nsjail, but from reading the docs it seems to me like nsjail covers namespaces, cgroups and virtual networking, while bwrap only covers namespaces. On the other hand, bwrap is deliberately kept simple because it is SUID.

Not the heat, not the yoga, but “doing sports and moving” reduces depression.

So it could have been “bouldering may reduce depression” or even “squash may reduce depression”.

Why? 1) You move. 2) You can’t do social media at the same time.

tl;dr get out, move, stop sitting on the couch and stop social media.

Using embeddings I increased engagement with related articles.

Personally I think embeddings are a powerful tool that are somewhat overlooked. They can be used to navigate between documents (and excerpts) based on similarities - or conversely find unique content.

All without worrying about hallucinations. In other words, they are quite ‘safe’

>Ok, so you should be able to sue schools where regular bullying happens, or ads that supposedly promote unrealistic beauty standards for eating disorders, righ

If they 1) know of such bullies and 2) do nothing or even enable it, yes. I would agree with that. I don't know the legal details, but schools should have a moral duty not to promote harmful factors to kids, and to make sure kids are safe on campus.

> Or why ads, sue the media companies that publish them.

Depending on the ad, sure. Wouldn't be the first time. Ads targeting children have a ton of regulations behind them.

>Or maybe vendors that sell the magazines, or all of them - since they make up a platform like Facebook.

The magazine would be under scrutiny. I'm not sure if there are any laws against that (the national enquirer is still on my grocery store checkout line after all), so I'm guessing freedom of press overrides that. It's really just libel they worry about (feel free to look up Hulk Hogan vs Gawker for one if the few cases where the press loses such charges. Since Libel laws are very strong in the US).

>Majority of their time on social media" is not a harm. The rest are similar and/or not clearly linked to anything.

Not by itself no. The lawsuit seems to be arguing that meta knowingly deploys algorithms and utilizes data in a way that Is harmful. TBD.

>parents cannot control the other kids' behavior in school or out in the neighborhood - preventing their own children from using social media is comparatively trivial. So, there's also that - I guess if facebook is responsible for harms, all of the parents affected should be sued for neglect :)

Regardless of my opinion on that, children's anything (media, ads, internet websites) have regulations and the argument here is that meta had continually and knowingly ignored such regulation. It involves minors but summarizing down to "social media harms kids" belittles all this regulation setup over the years. It's not just about "being too addicting"

Not all models are truly wrong. But I get your point. I think though the author isn't just arguing that the OSI is like your typical "wrong" model. I think he's saying it's a shitty model. It's crap. It's like using Hippocrates four humors to model human health.

Yeah that model is wrong just like every model. But unlike every model it's a garbage model.

Religion has ALSO survived the test of time, but Jesus Christ coming back from the dead and walking on water is still utter bullshit. Not to get into a religious argument here, but if you're Christian let me know and I'll have to look harder for another analogy.

Anyway my point is: Surviving the test of time, Does not mean shit.

The problem is that the world is full of near infinite permutations of situations that will continue to prove difficult for these technologies. A group of pigeons, to most human drivers, is identifiable from any approachable angle, in various weather and lighting conditions. To a computer, it has to be trained on all of that and consider the countless permutations - is that two pigeons in the rain in the dark? Is it 50 in broad daylight? Is it 12 cardboard cutouts? Our brains are incredibly good at parsing the world around us, and I’m not sure we’re even remotely close to that level of accuracy with self-driving cars, and that should worry people in cities where these are being rolled out.
> What I want if for kids to have free lunches and a great education. I want homeless to be taken in and given shelter and food. I wan't everyone to be able to just go see a doctor on a regular basis.

It's not that I disagree with the content of the platitudes you are preaching, but it's so nonspecific, pointless, and self-righteous that I have no idea what you want, except to "tax the rich", which is meaningless, since they are obviously already taxed. I advocate for a specific, true progressive income tax bracket that stretches brackets up logarithmically to within an order of magnitude of the highest earner from the previous year, and also applies to the current long term capital gain situation. That's the solution to increasing income disparity, but I don't think being rich is some inherent evil.

> And the wealthy are keeping those things from happening.

Assuming you can prove your conspiracy, what is your solution? Killing them? Why not just fix the tax brackets? My point is that you and many others spend a lot of energy harboring negative intentions toward people who have done nothing to you simply because those people have a lot of money, even if they earned that money through voluntary value generation. Maybe you don't like to call it jealousy, but it's something unhealthy.

Besides, one could argue that Elon Musk, with all his flaws, has generated a lot more value to society than you or I or the equivalent increase in budget for the Department of Education if you taxed him into oblivion (such that he couldn't start SpaceX or buy a controlling stake in Tesla) after he sold his stake in Paypal...

By the time you're paged to handle the situation, the pedestrian is already trapped under the vehicle and you cannot see her because the car does not have an under-the-vehicle camera. So the only way you can handle this case is to rewind and review what happened before the collision and respond only then. Considering that the speed with which you react can be a matter of life and death, I don't see a satisfactory solution to this problem.

And this specific model is very wrong. It is not useful; it survived mostly because it's useless: slapping an "OSI level X" label on something affects pretty much nothing so sure, you can keep doing that and keep teaching it to people.

Allowing an artist to control their own art for justice/purity/authenticity reasons is not the spirit of the law. The stated purpose of IP law is to incentivize useful things. Calvin & Hobbes is an example of the law being used contrary to its intended purpose.

I'm really surprised that RFC-1122 isn't mentioned in the entire article; The IETF defines 3 layers for a TCP/IP network (link, IP, and Transport) and those layers are (IMO) much more useful for understanding the internet than the OSI model. In addition they don't pretend to be describing a platonic ideal of a network, but rather just specific parts of the network we are using today.
>Who in there does it "to do the right thing for the overall good of the overall population"?

You are implying that these reasonable and good willing people dont exist. All i have to do here is show you one exception (which there are plenty of) and also point to the filtering characteristics of a democracy.

I dont like the conclusion that "evil politicians just exist". To me, its the same populism ala "migrants are just criminals". Followed by "thought process finished successfully."

The problem we are taking about here is the accumulated failure of voters, that enables the sociopathes their careers.

The lack of understanding of the problem also shows in opposite scenarions, be it either anarchy or authoritarian. The same demagogues would eventually rise to the top harden their position and so eventually working against your interests too.
IMO this is a lesson that libertarians need to learn too. A free market will eventually be corrupted too and the only way to prevent or overcome it is a side channel, like a democracy. A democracy is the only form of goverment that enables peacefully revolutions by design.
> it should pull over, unless it can't reach the side of the road without hitting something or someone is trapped under the car.

Or…insert how many other edge cases? There are plenty of scenarios where it shouldn’t pull over, aren’t there? Training the myriad unique situations and proper responses just feels untenable, at least with current technology.

Well, I doubt many people are going to bother hoodwinking their doctors in order to get a prescription. It is a shame it can't just be sold over the counter though, as it really is the best cold medicine. It keeps your sinuses somewhat clear and gives you enough energy to get through the day.

It's probably a bad idea for anyone with a heart condition, in case anyone out there is getting a not-so-bright-idea.
This is an absolutely fascinating read.
> E.g. the formation of South Ossetia on Georgian territory is widely recognised as either annexation or something morally equivalent to it.

I'm under the impression it is seen as occupation (not annexation) by russia with a thin vaneer over top. You still have a separate state being involved, with russia arguably continuing to be in control.

> That's arguably true for people who declare independence in the territory they're already living in. Not for people who settle on someone else's territory and then claim it as theirs.

Well there was significant migration to the area in the lead up, its not like the jews just showed up in 1948 and declared independence. From what i understand there was a continous jewish presence in the region throughout history, albeit at various point as a much smaller minority.
