Crusoe | Onsite/Hybrid – San Francisco | Climate Tech, Cloud Compute, Distributed Systems, Crypto | https://crusoe.ai/

Crusoe is on a mission to align the future of computing with the future of the climate.

Data centers consume more than 2% of the world's electricity. We power data centers with stranded energy such as gas flares and underloaded renewables , so for every GPU hour you use on Crusoe Cloud, you're offsetting 0.5kg of CO2e, or approximately 4.4 metric tons over an entire year. The more compute you use, the more CO2 and other greenhouse gasses you offset.

Crusoe Cloud (https://crusoe.ai/cloud) offers the cleanest and lowest-cost GPU cloud computing solution in the world for workloads including graphical rendering, artificial intelligence research, machine learning, computational biology, therapeutic drug discovery, simulation and more.

Looks like JPEG XL didn’t make it in the end. Kind of baffling, considering it’s the first image format bringing solid improvements across the board in a very long time. I was hoping Interop might finally be what forces Google to stop effectively blocking its adoption, but apparently we’ll have to keep waiting as the half-baked replacements for the ubiquitous old formats keep piling on.
Everybody has to self-promote now. Nobody wants to
Hey there, so py-multiauth is a great project that we love, but it didn't get enough attention from the community for us to afford to maintain it outside of our main codebase.

Since then, we have completely revamped it to create py-multiauth v2 that supports basically all form of authentication as you can see in the docs https://docs.escape.tech/authentication/

py-multiauth v2 is not open source for now, but our eng team might be ok to open source it if there is interest from the community

Because they move the frontier of PWAs forward in a big way. They aren't simply quality of life improvements, which the vast majority of these things are (sans the popover attribute, which will make a host of things easier once browser versions are sufficiently updated past the point of worrying about using it or not)

I want to be able to persist to the filesystem of the user, for instance, because the software we make is all about editing files, and currently, the user has to upload their files to us and crucially we then have to store them on a server. I'd like to remove that server requirement, for a multitude of reasons, and be able to have read / write permissions to a sandbox directory that lets me do just that.

Not everyone is making apps that benefit from this, but the ones that do, really do and they tend to be big. Our app has 400K+ users for instance

All: this thread is a good case of what the HN guidelines mean when they say: "Eschew flamebait. Avoid generic tangents."

Religious flamewar about Catholicism (or any other religion of course) is a perfect example of a generic flamewar tangent, the thing we most want to avoid here. Such disputes are as tedious and repetitive as they are nasty and community-destroying. It's hard enough to hold this place together without any of that!

I've posted a dozen moderation replies to commenters who I saw doing this in the thread, regardless (of course) of which side they were on. I'm sure I missed some others, but the intention is to be as even handed about this as we can.

In the meantime, everybody, no more religious flamewar on HN please!
No one is saying you don't have agency as an individual. This is an aggregate statement. In any A/B test you're interested in proportion of people converted who displayed increase in desired behavior. What you can't do is to go on an extrapolate this to any individual person, because that's now how statistics work or are designed.

You're taking an rightwing/libertarian approach (no judgement) where everyone has complete free will to do anything they want and make fully informed decisions. Rational actor and all that. Reality is quite different, and if you don't believe me you can peruse a ton of work in behavioral economics that show it.

Hell, I don't even need to go far to conjure an example: gambling addicts.

Vetspire | Senior Software Engineer, Senior ETL Engineer, and Senior DevOps Engineer | Remote | Austin, TX | Full-Time | https://vetspire.com

Vetspire is a medical records and practice management platform for veterinarians. We’re a startup that builds the technology suite that powers veterinary hospitals, impacting every aspect of patient care from AI assistance in the exam room to managing client communications and clinical analytics.

We're looking for a full stack engineer to join our small and technical team to continue to bring veterinarians’ dreams into fruition. Your day to day work will consist of learning and understanding veterinarians' needs and bringing them into reality from the front-end to the backend.

Some examples of what your weeks may look like:

* building remote tools for pet owners to sign consent forms, pay invoices, and fill in information online so they don't have to walk into the clinics during the pandemic

* creating an emergency room clinical census to monitor patients and alert staff in real-time

* designing the interface and algorithms for intelligent immunization reminders.

You'll be working directly with the thousands of veterinarians and staff using Vetspire every day, and talking with them often to better understand their needs and iterate on solutions with them. It's an incredibly fulfilling role to be able to make such a drastic difference in the lives of vets, and ultimately, everyone's pets. It's half-part engineering, half-part problem-solving.

Our backend tech stack is a Phoenix application written in Elixir, our frontend is using React with the Apollo GraphQL framework, our primary database is PostgreSQL, and it all runs on Google Cloud via Kubernetes.

I put less importance on commit messages being thorough, though I do admire when people write detailed information in the body. What's more important to me is to have good commit hygiene. It's something the industry is also generally terrible at, but has slightly more immediate value. For example, if your PRs have clean, atomic commits that can stand on their own, I can "rescue" chunks of useful functionality from review hell by cherry picking them out. I do this several times a month to help my teammates burn down huge PRs or take good ideas out of doomed branches.

I can just imagine the attackers licking their lips when they first breached the data center.

Good reminder to use "Full (Strict)" SSL in Cloudflare. Then even if they do get compromised, your reverse-proxied traffic still won't be readable. (Of course other things you might use Cloudflare for could be vectors, though.)
Real big example of the Streisand Effect in play here. It seems this company got one ruling from one court in India serving as an injunction against one news agency reporting on them, and they then went on to try and leverage that into getting everyone to stop reporting on the entire situation, including the injunction itself.

That's not how injunctions work, that's not how international law works, and it has created a new cycle of news outlets being able to report on the fact that the company tried to gag them.
> The judge in the case initially sided with Appin Training Centers, writing that the article could have a “devastating effect on the general students population of India.” He quickly ordered an injunction stating that Appin Training Centers can demand Reuters take down their claims about Appin Technology.

What devastating effects could possibly outweigh reporting on a company that does illegal hacking for hire?
glitch-soc also has a patch available for it.
It's absolutely incredibly small, think of how large the surface area of a sphere of LEO and the surface area of these lasers linking the vertices of the 5,289 satellites. The gaps between them are probably hundreds of kilometres. I would imagine that each link has multiple routes so if there was a failure traffic can still be routed in the same way the Internet has many routes.

https://satellitemap.space is pretty amazing but a Starlink satellite looks massive on there, really at the scales we are talking they wouldn't even be a pixel. Do we know how many of the satellites are actually interlinked by lasers?
The Silent Discontinuation of KHTML (2023)
In mid-2023, KHTML was officially discontinued. Despite the prevalence of KHTML descendants in the browser market, this event has seemingly gone unnoticed, with no news reports or discussions on Hacker News. As such, I thought it would be important to bring this to the attention of the community.
> But I can’t help but think in the general case this blog post is advocating for putting business logic inside my data layer.

That’s not a bad thing, provided the business/domain rules are invariant.

This is why it makes sense to do fast-moving projects in, say, TypeScript on NodeJS (or back-in-the-day: PHP) with a denormalized object-store (e.g. JSON blobs in Redis) and lots of E2E tests - while doing legacy-business stuff in, say, .NET and RDBMS.

It’s disappointing how often people instead misinterpret the above to stereotype a platform as good or bad (well, PHP probably deserved it…). Right-tool-for-the-right-job and all.

Do you have tips on building a network? As an introverted developer at a non-tech company in a third-string city, I find few in-person opportunities to talk shop with thoughtful programmers. When it comes to the internet, I feel like I don't have anything valuable to add to the conversation.
Yes, the Kremlin.

Assange may have started out with pure intentions, but as he ran out of money, the only funding became available from the Kremlin. The cover for funding him was his show on RT, the Kremlin-funded English-language television station.

You might recall that Assange bragged about a huge dump of info about Putin and other Russian leaders/oligarchs that was soon to be dropped. It never did. It was either entirely BS from the start to provide cover, or existed but was withheld to keep happy his new sponsors.

You also may recall that the Wikileaks dumps of info stolen by Russian hackers on Hillary Clinton was miraculously released within hours of Trump's "I grabbed her by the pussy" tapes. A classic Russian disinformation move to distract the media, which was quite successful.

That's just glancing at a few highlights. By the time Wikileaks became significant, it was a straight-up Russian operation. It would have been a far better life decision for Assange to simply quit when he ran out of funds, than to sell out. Sad
I don't really see an individual asshole's ownership of such a large part of the world's internet access as "humans advancing". Nor do I see his attempt at shifting the conversation away from actual solutions (e.g public transport, walkable cities, etc) over to "buy slightly more efficient and very expensive cars from him" as "humans advancing". His efforts to signal-boost the far right is certainly not "humans advancing".

This is just PR for one of his shitty projects. It has no place on HN.

The Kremlin.
This is a bit tangential, but, have middle managers ever actually had those powers? I mean this in a genuine way. My post college career began in 2011, and all I've known is hopeful managers who aren't empowered to do much of anything like just decide to hire a person, give somebody a raise, or make major changes to company strategy or anything. Is that one of those things that really did exists like offices with closing doors and other things?
Right. The massive commit with minimal description and a PR number which I can look up in Azure DevOps to find a review with no description, no discussion and a mention of a number I can go and look up in Jira, where some Scrum master wrote half a sentence of what needs to be done and asking to "reach out to Jeff" for explanation.

So much more valuable and great user experience

While it looks like they got lower phase noise using the optical LO than the traditional source, there are better conventional sources, like the LNS Series from NoiseXT.

I applaud their novel optical based system of generating the RF to then transmit via the antenna. The world is getting quite interesting, where you can actually buy test equipment these days that will tell you the frequency (down to the Hertz!) of Blue Laser Light.

To recap: “We avoid designing and selling EVs and thus not many were sold by us. We only offer the crappy one that had wheels falling off. This is proof people need gas cars.”

Toyota logic is painful. It’s gas lighting… which makes sense given how attached to gas the company head is.
The problem is that once upon a time, someone wrote a management book that said that setting deadlines can push people to work harder — and to an extent that's true — but if you take that idea to the extreme and every week is an important deadline, eventually the magic runs out and you end up just burning everyone out. Good managers know this of course, and work hard to find some kind of a balance between their team, higher management, external parties etc. Bad managers operate on auto and do whatever is currently en vogue.
If the minimal representation of a model of the behavior is "way bigger", why are you disputing that it's more complicated? What's the difference?
I'm working on Rolepad (https://rolepad.com), a tool that brings together candidates (job application management) and hiring managers / recruiters (better candidate experience). The candidate side is pretty decent at this point, working on the employer side now. The first capability this will unlock is keeping the status of the application in sync between the two, for greater transparency and hopefully reduced ghosting.
How do you feel about people who don't do business in the US defying US court orders? Ignoring a court order may be something you can do, but it's generally not a good look.
2038 is only 14 years away - and there’s plenty of 32-bit systems still around (including those using 32-bit timestamps). For example, a system I built back in 2011 which controls an Asterisk v11 box is still running, literally unmodified, in production (and it needs restarting by cron job every few days) and I suspect it’s still going to be there in 14 years’ time too.

Ok, but say 50% of jobs become replaced by AI, then what?Even 10% or 20% of jobs replaced would have huge implications for our current society. We don’t have any solutions in place for that inevitability, especially at the rate AI technology is increasing. And it will eventually become a problem for your employer as well when a large portion of the population can no longer afford your employer’s products or services.
Hmmm the peaks seem to have become a lot higher after 2020. Too bad it doesn't let us see before 2018.
There are so many that I spot them with my telescope while watching the sky with some frequency. In the last year I've probably caught 6 or so. It's just a spot of light passing through the view, nothing spectacular, but I think it would have been virtually impossible 20 years ago.

No, the solution is to take a balanced and realistic view of the cost - both environmental and monetary - of digital wastefulness.

> And the Cantor Fitzgerald CEO, a US bank authorized to deal in US treasuries, said at Davos (!) that iFinex/Tether actually had the USD they claim they have.

Tether is well aware, then, that they have credibility claims to resolve. Otherwise, why would you authorize your bank to make statements at conferences about your AUM?

However, that is more refreshing than the Deltec side of things (are they still the predominant bank for Tether?). Their Deputy CEO[1] has made the following farcical claims:

- when people challenged money movement being largely than the entirety reported by The Bahamas, he said "well, that's related to a different banking license than what we have". When asked about the two banking licenses issued there, he couldn't remember the name of either of them. And wasn't sure if they had both, or just one of them... the Deputy CEO of the bank doesn't know what banking licenses they operate under...

- he made comments that he could see individual transactions in Bitfinex and correlate them against their bank accounts. Kinda odd access for your bank to have...

[1] Their Deputy CEO at the time was 33. His LinkedIn claimed that he was simultaneously an asset manager at his own firm, "Indepedance[sic] Weath[sic] Management" in Jacksonville, FL, a Professor of Finance at a university in Lebanon, a position which he gained immediately after getting his M.S. from HEC Lausanne in 2001, which, with simple arithmetic says he graduated with his Masters when he was ... 15. (And then became a 15 yo Professor?) AND the Deputy CEO of Deltec. Multitasking like Musk.

PS: After a disastrous series of interviews, the bank removed his profile from their website. After people started pointing out how suspicious that looked in light of everything at the time (their "attestation, not audit" and "We've had an audit but we can't show it to you because it's in Chinese" farces), they added him back to the site, then took the site down entirely a week later and replaced it with a barely modified WordPress template site with no functioning links. And in the process they went from a "50 year old bank" to "operating for over 70 years", in the space of two weeks.

Also entirely "hilarious" on the website now...

Website is still WordPress...

Online Banking is BS. Any combination of user/password will immediately respond "Invalid". I'm going to guess that's because that's exactly what the JS is coded to say because the login URI is 403 for everybody.

Bitfinex might be getting more legit. Deltec still looks as shady as it ever did, if not worse.

I agree that it's hard to imagine an alternate history when things happened through a mixture of pure and application-motivated work. In each example, I can see how people arrive at these notions through an application-driven mind-set (transformation groups, GCD through simplifying fractions during calculations, solving polynomial equations that come up in physics calculations). Computability and complexity, in the flavor of Turing's and subsequent work, I already see as application-driven work, as they were building computing machines at the time and wanted to understand what the machines could do.
