MONUMENTAL | https://www.monumental.co/ | Amsterdam, The Netherlands | Full Time | On-Site

We're building autonomous on-site construction robots at Monumental, starting with bricklaying.

We have built a product and technology that works, deployed it in real-life construction sites with excited pilot customers, and raised funding from some of the best in the world. We're still a small and nimble team of 15 and are hiring mechanical engineers and multiple software engineering roles (product, controls, and machine vision)

>The idea of distributions is unique to Linux-based systems.

That's a Linux-distribution, and please stop with that nonsense.

>>Examples of software distributions include BSD-based distros (such as FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, and DragonflyBSD) and Linux-based distros (such as openSUSE, Debian, and Fedora).

Possibly, but that alternative would have to fall outside the bounds of the relevant legislation for it to be something they could migrate to.

Young people have always congregated and that, in itself, isn't a bad thing (quite the opposite - they absolutely need to socialise). The issue we have is that current social media is a far too effective vector for bullying, exacerbating mental health issues and, of course, discovery and sharing of abusive material. Those are some of the problems we need to solve for.

As I say, I sense there may be a net benefit to a ban for younger people, but I could be mistaken - for example, there could simply be greater restrictions or regulation of social media use by young people that would make it safer/better - and would welcome evidence that proved me wrong.
If that’s the case for you, I’d recommend putting other apps in your top row.

I have Plex, Podcasts, Soma FM, VLC, and Settings in my top row. None of them show me ads; I get to see what I’m in the middle of watching or listening to and jump directly to that content if I want.

Settings is the outlier, as I like to check the battery status of my remote somewhat often, but again, no ads for any of the apps I listed.
> This reflects a false belief that people who live in poor neighborhoods are less compassionate. In fact research suggests that people living in poverty tend to be more compassionate towards each other than rich people are toward the impoverished. It's comforting for wealthier people to hold this belief, because it makes us feel less bad about our own lack of compassion.

From what I recall, its less that the poor are more compassionate, instead they participate in _reciprocal altruism_ as a form of insurance against further loss. I remember this talk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AchISJUKfH4 -- poor people make seemingly dumb decisions because if they don't help their social network when it comes knocking, they're in effect _cutting themselves off_ from said network.

The middle class is more insulated from this effect because those with emergency savings don't often need to borrow $500 because of a broken car or need to house their recently homeless sister and children, so capital can accumulate more easily.
LLMs are a reincarnation of Markov Chains, which, by the way, were surprisingly underutilized in the past.
I would question how many people this actually affects, but who knows, I'm also in the "Just use Windows 11" camp.

In all honestly, I recently launched two campaigns. One on Meta and one on Google. It's for a niche app I worked on as part of a European Project. Meta went straight up and is giving me good traffic. Google keeps refusing it saying the messaging is unclear. I've been trying for a week to update the messaging and description to make it 'clearer', and they keep rejecting it. After yesterday I gave up on Google, I have no idea what they mean and what they want.
*function class
So after the Okta incident they rotated the leaked credentials...

But I think they should have put honeypots on them, and then waited to see what attackers did. Honeypots discourage the attackers from continuing for fear of being discovered too.
Remember when you said Meta wasn’t a good buy?

“ Why is that an incredible investment opportunity? Something like ~53% of the voting power is owned or controlled by Zuck, and there’s no indication that he has any plans to meaningfully return money to shareholders,* rather than continuing to write ten-digit company checks every month to fund the metaverse.
If you want to buy META as a bet on Zuck himself or the success of their conception of the metaverse, that’s one thing, but I don’t see how this is a reasonable value investment based on their current management and capital structure.
* I know Meta has done stock buy-backs from time to time, which are of course economically equivalent to a dividend (except more tax efficient), but from eyeballing their history of repurchases, it looks like they, like many issuers, managed to set billions of dollars of shareholder money on fire by repurchasing the stock while it was trading at rich multiples.”
Why don't you just do those on a second, personal, laptop?

Does your workplace restrict you from bringing it in?
ether, Ethereum's native token, is required to pay for computation on a computer with peculiar properties (publicly visible, unmodifiable, unstoppable code, uncensorable interaction). If somebody finds that useful, he will need ethers, and you will be able to sell them yours. How would he be a (greater) fool?
I got banned for basically life from Google adwords after I messed up some sort of payment configuration. Literally used an expired credit card on accident/something like that. Instant ban with no communication
You're catching a lot of flak here, but this seems to be the most beautiful and dignified way to go.

What better way to say goodbye to friends and family?
RUST | REMOTE, WORLDWIDE | FULL-TIME

Zynk is building a totally new, all-platform file transfer application that is going to do things right - and will be a breath of fresh air in this crazy world of colossal cloud-powered inefficiency (HN Launch pending).

We're a Rust only shop, hiring a REMOTE Rust developer.

If you're fascinated by efficiency, performance, stability, reliability, doing things right, as well as pushing the boundaries of what modern hardware and networking can do, this may be for you.

If you're not afraid of creating a custom solution that answers the very narrow needs of a task, and and doing it the best way possible, this may be for you.

If you ever thought or pondered about if this insane, bloated cluster of cr*p can be replaced by a single modern machine running some custom code or carefully picked components, this may be for you.

If KISS means something to you and you love the CLI, this may be for you.

If you appreciate what Rust can do for you and the entire lifecycle from dev to robust product, this may be for you.

If you've reached the end of this post, this may be for you.

We're easy, flexible, non bureaucratic and we don't waste time on unnecessary things.

Ignore the website, we're in stealth mode. Apply at: m at zynk.it
Nope, capable machines that run Web, Android and Linux apps and get 10 years of support/updates. See also my comment here[1].

Roast n TOAST This Idea: Create your own personalized trade algorithm in seconds
I have this idea on my hand right now that I am eager to build out, I want to commercialize the ability to build a personalized trade algorithm with the same quality as a proper DE Shaw or Jane St model could. Within seconds a user could input their parameters (I have a much more specific outline for what I am thinking) and the output at the end is a downloadable algorithm you could use for a specific type of trade.

Would love to hear reasons for why this could AND couldn't work. FYI I am a data automation engineer in the Bay Area and have a background in Finance/Healthcare/Startups. looking to meet some new people to get something going! I've been following HN for years now but from the sidelines, finally made an account when I felt it was appropriate to do so.
none of the open roles are for Sr PM?
> How foolish of me to assume you would notice that I assiduously avoided doing anything other than to refer to you by "you" and to refer to the blog article's author as "the author."

I did notice, indeed. But when I called myself "the author", I was referring to myself.

Is it that you want me to call myself "you" instead? I don't think that works. It is not clear what you are trying to convey here.

Obviously I was the author. Were you under the impression someone else authored the work in question? If so, who? If so, how?

> As a critic of OOP

Was "bingo" meant to a criticism? While this is a fun story that you have randomly decided to share, I fail to see the pertinence.

> What do you believe your argument is?

I have no beliefs on the matter. Logically, once a believe is formed, there is no longer value in discussing it. What more can be learned once you are certain of something? Only before beliefs are formed can you gain insights by talking to other people. Beliefs are built on discussion. Discussion always has to come first.

But maybe you have some pet definition for "belief" that contradicts the common usage recorded in the dictionary?

I view it as an effort to restore congress's power which it has frittered away. Congress is the most democratic institution we have and it gets refreshed every 2 years. The thing I want to happen is that there is a way to assure that the elected portion of government, the congress, gets to set our policy not unelected administrate officials.

You also need to view this from both sides. The more freedom of action the agencies have the more they are effectively tools of the president. When you like the president that may seem great, but you always need to look at government power though the lense of the worst person you can image having that power.

it feels great when you're sick, but in an ideal state, you should not need to do this as your system should be able to self-drain
I thought Acrobat had ugly UI — stacks and stacks of toolbars for example (this, BTW, about a decade ago — I haven't launched Reader in some time so can't speak to the current UI).

I met one of the engineers from Adobe and said as much — as politely as I could. He said, yeah, we're modeling our UI on Office.

I saw in an instant that they wanted to be seen as a peer, a co-tool, to the Microsoft suite and it all made sense to me.
Manufacturers have had security vulnerabilities for hardware to the point that the firmware on device couldn’t be trusted to be replaced so they said to get new hardware so it’s not a bad strategy.
Longevity research is the primary driver.

>> The venture — aimed at aiding research into nutritional supplements and biohacks that push the boundaries of human performance

>> He said that the events are open to any athletes — current and former professionals and amateurs — and that allowing them to enhance their performance with substances will enable researchers to get a better idea of what technologies are out there that can boost longevity and “healthy aging.”

>> He said that the data would be “very useful to determining compounds and therapies to extending human life.”

No, that's also what I see. I'm not sure why you're getting downvoted.

Hamas has political orgs as well as militant, so that page isn’t the own you think it is. Not to mention why are you bringing up things from 20 years ago to try and prove a point about something now?

I still have a stack of these lying around. I used them in high school for carrying a live Linux distro in my wallet to use on the school computers since the BIOSs were too old to support booting from USB. Needless to say, the school district IT department was not happy with me.

To expand on this: Daniel J Bernstein (of Curve25519 etc fame) has alleged that NIST and/or NSA knows a secret weakness in Kyber and therefore pushed it instead of NTRU. While the allegations are vaguely plausible -- NSA employs some very clever people, and of course they would like to interfere -- the evidence DJB put forth hasn't convinced very many other cryptographers.

There was also an incident a few months back when someone with an NSA email address suggested significant last-minute changes to Kyber on the PQC forum mailing list. These changes had a security flaw, and they were rejected. NSA might still know a different weakness, of course.

Note also that DJB's allegations focus on Kyber-512 being too weak, and this post is about Kyber-768.
I have that where I am... Total bullshit. But I make sure I use it as much as I can, download tons of stuff to just delete it 30 seconds later.
This is pointless argument, as you do not understand why industries like stale-like-rock packages of Debian and Red Hat LTS systems. No one cares much that base is LTS, what is important that third party _packages_ stay same for years and only receive security update. Essentially zero-masintenance install and forget for two years systems, not quarterly update-reboot-fix-breakage every 3 month. No go fo many server usage scenarios.
Very funny!

I just did some coding on C for the first time in years. Now, ok, i'm out of practice, but I'm generally a fairly cautious programmer. I got so many seg faults and weird memory errors in my code. Valgrind found some more that I hadn't spotted.

It's just too easy to screw it up. Much better to use languages that remove entire classes of bug without you having to even think about it.
Had customer data been impacted we would have disclosed it immediately.
For the US it's simply because with free time employees can look for better opportunities.

This is famously why shitty minimum wage jobs have endlessly changing schedules. Many companies have actual rules against setting regularly scheduled shifts.

Was interesting watching the shift happen, regular schedules used to be the norm and it was far easier to work several jobs. Especially once everything became part-time in the 90's.
So would the Google Assistant feature (and similar tools) that calls places to make reservations be illegal?

Seems like a lousy (lazy) solution to the problem that limits innovative applications of this tech.
Convenience, I suppose… and that doesn’t solve all of the issues (eg Copilot)

I’m fine with it because I know there’s no management software on this laptop, but yeah it’s a totally different story if I had to use a newer one with SSO and management software
It just feels like asking which bits of a human wouldn't have been possible without having evolved for billions of years. It's an interconnected body of work that made cryptography possible at all. So ... all of it? I know it sounds like I'm copping out of the question, and maybe I am, because it's a really complicated question you're asking. I just don't know how you're imagining humanity came up with the ideas for:

- Diffie-Hellman key exchange without a deep understanding of quotient groups (and their properties, and proofs of their properties), large (co)prime numbers, and computability

- Quotient groups and its applicability to this problem without a deep understanding of group theory, equivalence classes, isomorphisms, etc.

- Large (co)prime numbers without work by Euler, calculations of GCD, proofs of infinite primes, understanding their densities and occurrence on the number line, etc.

- Computability without tons of work by Turing, von Neumann, Church, Babbage, Goedel, etc. relying on ideas on recursion, set theory, etc.

- Ideas on recursion and set theory without work on the fundamental axioms of mathematics, Peano arithmetic, etc.

- Group theory without modular arithmetic, polynomials and their roots, combinatorics, etc.

- Polynomials and their roots without a huge body of work going back to 2000 BC

- Calculations of GCD without work by Euclid

Most of these generalized abstractions came about by thinking about the more specific problems: e.g. Group Theory only exists at all because people were thinking about equivalence classes, roots of polynomials, the Chinese remainder theorem, modular arithmetic, etc. Nobody would have thought of the "big idea" without first struggling with the smaller ideas that it ended up encompassing.

You can't just take out half of these pillars of thought and assume the rest would have just happened anyway.
On a side note, I wished award shows understood how important the "In Memorium" is to the viewers. It's our last chance to remember actors and performers we love and think about the times they passed through our life. It's also a free commercial for the industries back catalog. But every year it gets shorter and more insulting.
Apple reports first quarter results
It's refreshing to hear this, I've always been a bit confused that people look down on Meta with disdain. They are doing stellar open source work, I use their frameworks/libraries all the time, there is lots to be thankful for. In regards to 1, its notable they weren't involved in the anti-poaching lawsuit: https://www.cnet.com/tech/tech-industry/apple-google-others-...

That's not too say I'm a sycophant, just that the level hate they get seems ungrounded.
RE "......Eleven US states now get over half their electricity from renewables ...." It is a interesting statement. However, it needs to be ALL the time. Somehow I assume it is not. It is a much GREATER achievement if the time period includes several days of weather that does not support renewable generation - ie several continuous cloudy days and several days of no wind.
Don't all satellites orbit in the same direction? Launching retrograde is just throwing away free velocity.
What's the difference between Android TV and Google TV? Android TV (on my Nvidia Shield) added "recommendations", which are really just ads for streaming service content you may or may not have, but are otherwise associated with things in the ecosystem. Maybe a harbinger of things to come. Like Amazon Prime Video pre-roll ads for Prime content being replaced by regular ads.
It was very clear how intelligent they are. I saw them distract and trick each other (and me), I saw them quickly hone in on my keys in my pocket and try to get them, I saw them be kind, gentle, hurtful, violent, angry, sad, lazy, sleepy. I saw and experienced them being extremely kind, patient and gentle, and very clearly try to communicate to me with hand gestures, smiles, and "follow me" hands.

Even the little ones ran over to me and held up their arms for "pick me up!"
The article misrepresents the court's reasoning: the problem is that the board didn't act independently of Musk, thus these consequences.

From her judgement:

“Musk was the paradigmatic ‘Superstar CEO’ [...] and dominated the process that led to board approval of his compensation plan”

“[Musk] enjoyed thick ties with the directors tasked with negotiating on behalf of Tesla, and dominated the process that led to board approval of his compensation plan”

And as usual, his impulsive and reactionary response will lead to more trouble, not less. As per the article Texas law is less certain and prone to the whims of a variety of judges and juries. He'll invite more lawsuits, not less.
do manufacturers share some of the cost of this kind of security related return or is this a straight up "pay twice for the same thing" financial hit?

> DSL 2024 currently only ships with two window managers: Fluxbox and JWM. Both are lightweight, fairly intuitive, and easy to use.

I wonder what they will move to once they have to start using Wayland. Is there a lightweight, user-friend, and stable compositor ? (My experience is that you can choose two, but not three).
Just to be clear, I wasn't for a moment suggesting that the military itself is a solid R (or D) voting bloc.

What is true, however, is the most (not all) communities with a functioning US military base close by is a solid voting bloc for NOT cutting military expenditures, at least not insofar as they could lead to base closures (and specifically, their base).
disclosure: am investor

It's one of those stocks that people love to emotionally say is "over" without quantification. And very loose analysis like "I don't use facebook.com anymore" or "metaverse VR is not good".

I personally love the cycles of discount every 3-5 years when the new outrage happens, and just look at the fundamental numbers on the business before buying a few more shares.

Btw, not sure who Coldfusion is, but looks like they got 1.7M views on that video. So however "bad" the analysis is, it sure looks like a good way for him to make money.
I started joking with a friend when it hit $300-ish a share in this recent run-up like "wow imagine if we had invested when it dropped to $100 we'd be RIIIICH!!"

Now it's up another 50% since we started joking about that so...

Realistically, I'm much more attached to slow and steady index investing but FB stock is one I always like to follow along with and I (mostly jokingly) kick myself for not having the foresight when everyone was claiming doom and gloom a year ago that "nah, there's a cockroach (in the survivalist way, not to sound insulting) here..."

Advertisers have like 2.5 places to put their money right now, and FB is one of them.
You should probably eventually try using one of BSD systems, you may like it.

Assuming it's a constant data transfer rate, this is 3,889 Gbps. This is

- About 4,000 customers worth of maxed out Gigabit internet

- ~243,000 simultaneous Netflix 4K streams

- 1.6% the capacity of the latest BlueMed undersea fiber cable
We're an 8 digit ARR DTC brand, not suprised at these results. After the apple/facebook tracking issues we took our spend down to zero as it wasn't working. Facebook has fixed their alogorithms though and full credit to them our spend is working again and they are back to getting the lion share of our spend. Full credit to them!
They might create a JIRA ticket for each customer support interaction. Would make sense.
