HyperDX (YC S22) | Founding Backend Engineer | Hybrid SF/San Mateo | $115k - 180k

We're building an open source, dev friendly observability tool (think Datadog, but something developers actually love to use and companies can actually afford).

We're in the intersection of needing to build rock solid infrastructure ingesting TBs of data, searching it incredibly quickly and scalably, and layering on top a buttery smooth DX from our language-specific SDKs, APIs and web app.

We're super early and hiring our first founding engineer. We already have a cloud product customers pay for and love, loads of runway regardless of the wider economy, 5k+ Github stars, and tons of hard technical problems.

The vast majority of our work is open source, so you can get a sense of what you'd be working with here: https://github.com/hyperdxio/hyperdx

Our job listing is here as well: https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/hyperdx/jobs/1Ja2psR-f...

Come by our discord as well if you just want to talk shop: https://hyperdx.io/discord

I'm Mike, one of the cofounders. If you love shipping quickly and want to help us build from the ground up an open source developer tool (that devs won't hate when they're on-call), let me know! mike [at] hyperdx.io
I own all the TD albums up to White Eagle, along with several bootlegs. I saw them at York Minster in the 1970s. I also am the BDFL of the ardour.org project, where releases are named after chronologically ordered Eno albums.

I see no reason to make comparisons between their work, which are quite different in affect, goal, and production methodology.

Nothing wrong with nostalgia for those who have it. Although as someone who is new to learning all the birds, it will certainly help to have more of the names actually reflect something practical about the bird that helps with remembering it.

Interesting future the one mentioned where the US military could use SpaceX starships to do isle hopping on the pacific in not a dissimilar way that they did during wwii

If there is any military that could do it it might be the US military

I am interested on the logistics of fuel procurement tho, the fact that starship uses liquefied natural gas and oxygen makes for a great mix and rather simple to procure vs other rocket fuels

If you want a site with a public mod log, there's Lobsters. If you want a site with a mod log that's cryptographically auditable by users, I'm sure blockchainia has something on offer. You're not going to get either of those things here, for reasons the community has dug into in the past and you can surface with the search bar.
A crypto enthusiast friend once made that argument to me and it was so baffling.

By this logic, we should all leave our lights and air conditioners on while we're at work or on vacation because it will increase demand and hasten the transition to renewables.
In my experience spas have a much better ux. Have you guys used Jira before? It's actively painful and there even is some local interactivity. But whenever you need a page wide rerender it makes me twitch.
Same thing with aws when navigating between accounts/products.

Also having a spa doesn't mean you need to have separate frontend and backend engineers.

But it does allow various value streams to leverage each other's APIs in their own front ends.

The typical explanation given is poor economic policy - good times led banks to start lending excessively, excessive lending drove speculation, speculation drove bubbles, those bubbles burst, everything collapsed, and they just never managed to get back up again. But that last part is what most interests me.

Most of the Soviet Bloc type nations you named had reasonable fertility rates under the USSR, only collapsed once the USSR collapsed in 1991, and are inching back up again. Japan, by contrast, never had a particularly great fertility rate post-war. Then it just collapsed in the 1970s and simply kept going down. [1]

Fertility rates just determine so much. With a good fertility rate companies grow naturally because their market size is constantly naturally increasing. And vice versa for poor fertility rates. It also determines the overall age distribution of a population, such as how in Japan now 10% of the population is over 80. When an ever larger chunk of your population is leaving the labor force with not enough people to replace them, and then an even smaller taxpayer base to provide the social benefits necessary to sustain these people in their elder years - everything just becomes completely unsustainable.

And, again, none of this will ever get better such as, for instance, when the older people start passing en masse. This is because fertility rate determines the ratio of distributions within a population. You can see this quite clearly in this [2] population pyramid. The only solution is for them to suddenly start dramatically increasing their fertility rate.

Obviously this is useful to someone or are we starting the culture of power shaming?

Seems like some section of the media found that drugs / money laundering angle doesn't resonate with people so they try going about power usage.

Sure if you don't use Bitcoin it may appear to you as wasteful, but so someone who doesn't drive may feel about people charging they cars if they could just walk or cycle.

Only according to external rules about what you're supposed to say. The emotional content of the rhetoric seems pretty identical. No one thinks Garry Tan was actually wishing death on anyone, he was expressing anger and doing that by invalidating the target's existence. "You should die" and "you have a piece of your soul missing" are coming from the same place, they both mean "you're worthless".

It's just that Tan forgot the rules in the heat of the moment. And so would the grandparent poster after a few drinks, I suspect.

To wit: cool the fuck down, everyone. Shitposting on the internet is a slippery slope to an accidental death threat.
Thank you! The more I think about his it makes no sense to me. If a service account needs external access why can't they also whitelist connectivity to specific public IP addresses?
It flies to the target, gently lands, drops off its warheads on the ground, and launches back to North Dakota before they detonate. The perfect weapon!
Reusable Starship claims 100-150 metric tonnes payload to earth orbit. A Boeing 747 is 238 metric tonnes. BUT how much tonnage can the Starship land back on earth in a single "hop"?

I guess the ship attitude & atmospheric drag can help to reduce the extra fuel needed to land the payload, but not right at the end...
I'm no crypto enthusiast, but that's not the same argument. You are not moving demand to physical proximity of the renewables in that case, whereas miners claim they can.

This is the scraping tarpit! And why I avoid scraping projects. Even if there is a nice api it is still like a scraping project as there is tonnes of raw crap to deal with and categorise.

Your use case might work for you, and that's fine, but you claim that software decoding is universally not a problem. But it is, if you don't limit yourself to 720p h.264 pre-encoded at home. Most people are not fine with having to do this and having to limit themselves to low resolutions / bad IQ.

You are a saboteur trying to blow up nazi assets in occupied territory. The only equipment you're able to bring to the site of detonation is stuff that will be unobtrusive under your street clothes, since the enemy and collaborators are everywhere. Wire itself is considered war materiel and not readily available.

Your question kind of answers itself - if they could run the wire all the way between detonator and blasting cap then they wouldn't have to splice it.
They will simply be renamed back to whomever they were named after once this wave of madness has past. Leningrad is Saint Petersburg again, Danzig is called Gdańsk, etc. One of the ways of making sure this happens is to simply keep on using the real names and consider the new names aberrations.

If you are ever in Portland, Next Level Pinball Museum is bonkers with over 500 machines. About half of them are pinball machines and all are in top notch condition. Portland in general has a huge pinball scene with several large arcades in and around it.

The NAT tax is real. We got to tens of thousands of registered users of our app with the $30/month NAT gateway being like 90% of our AWS bill. And it didn't even serve customer facing traffic! At the time, it's only use was for a serverless Aurora DB used by background jobs.

It only gets more expensive when you actually serve large amounts of traffic, need multi-AZ setups, and run multiple AWS accounts for different envs for beta/prod and each engineer's sandbox account. The worst part of cloud billing is how each base cost has several dimensions of multipliers.
> If you look around, basically every company Elon took over or started relies heavily on government handouts (or at least did during the primary r&d phase)

Entirely false. That's just a cheap hit on Musk.

His first company did not. X (which became part of PayPal of course) did not. Neuralink did not. His funding of OpenAI did not.

So what are you going to say? You can start a successful rocket company that delivers a lot of payload to space, people to the Moon or Mars, and you plan to not involve the US Government / NASA? Ha! Sure. Please research what the launch sector looked like before SpaceX, what were the options?

You're going to start or take over an energy company (SolarCity) and it's not going to cross paths with the government? Solar shouldn't be subsidized? Yeah ok.

You're going to deploy utility scale energy storage (Tesla), and it's not going to involve dealing with governments? Hmmm.

You're going to attempt the Boring Company, digging long stretches underground, and you're not going to involve the government. Right.

You're going to take on a bunch of the largest companies on earth in terms of sales (car companies), including some of the most politically connected (GM, Ford; both of which have rather notorious histories of killing competition using politics), and you're not going to help your customers save money by making sure they qualify for EV subsidies? Un huh.

I've never heard the term either. The phrase, "do you live in a cave" is virtually always pointlessly antagonistic/elitist. The combined body of things that a sample of most people would consider "common knowledge" is many times larger than than what is reasonable for the average person to absorb - i.e. they can't all be correct, by definition.
It's quite unlikely to hallucinate in this because it's not asked to answer a question from information it was trained on; the facts in the summaries are fed in the context of the request.

That's not to say it will always get everything right of course; in my experimentation with LLM-powered summarization of news articles, I find the thing it would more often struggle with is quote attribution. The way some writers formulate who said what in a conversation sometimes confused the models I use (mostly Mixtral these days, which is about GPT 3.5 level), and it would claim that someone said something that I knew this person definitely did not say, and I would check the actual article and it turned out the journalist said that thing and the interviewee said the opposite, but the LLM thought it was the interviewee who said it.

> Its design is inspired by purely functional programming paradigm and transputers architecture.

> RTOS is implemented in a form of an executor instead of classic scheduler and doesn't support preemption. Executor runs tasklets, which are fine-grained units of computation, that execute a processing step in a finite amount of time.

Transputers seem to be a leftover technology from the 80s, and lack of preemption seems hard to reconcile with real time guarantees?

If it was really a digital currency sure, maybe we could debate on that. But there's no way now the current real usage of Bitcoin is worth that much electricity though.
> Most of us had full control of our devices growing up, right?

I dunno about you but we had one computer, one TV, and one phone line. If by "full control" you mean "constant negotiations" then yeah we had that. By the time I was able to drive and earn enough coin to build my own computer, I was practically an adult.
As much as possible every day. But they have a limitation system called "Connects" so you can only do so many every day.

The last few weeks I have had more people act like they wanted to hire me and turn out to be scammers or wasting my time than I can remember ever happening before. I have had multiple long "interviews" where it eventually becomes apparent that there was no job and they just wanted a free consultation.

The price of a bitcoin sets an upper bound on consumption of energy where the miner will be in a place that is no longer profitable since energy costs money. On top of this, miners have no upward way to influence the price of bitcoin, only downward (selling of coins, or destruction of trust).

If we just properly externalized the cost of CO2 emissions it solves this problem along with many others. So why don't we do that?
> the rich get richer in proof of stake

Also true for proof of work. And basically any economic system that exists in the wild AFAIK.
I'm not a bitcoin enthusiast by any means, but this isn't necessarily as bad as it would seem if the miners have wholesale pricing with the power plants.

Depending on the time of day and the type of electric source, power plants have excess power to shed. Miners are better situated than other industries to ramp up and down consumption.

Some of the largest bitcoin operators in the US are located near hydroelectric power plants - for parts of the year dams literally have to dump water because the river has to flow but there is not enough power demand - and wholesale rates sometimes even go negative.

When I was a kid, banks and similar institutions would have computer terminals in the lobby, loaded up with the company website in a special browser that would only let you view that site. This was also the age of Best Viewed In badges.

Whenever my parents would take me with them to run errands, I would find one of these computers and click around until I got a Best Viewed In badge. (It was often on the Help page.) That would bypass the restrictions of the single-site browser and take you to e.g. netscape.com, where you could find a link to a search engine and browse wherever you wanted.

Over 3k children buried with little to no documentation, families not informed, kids never returned to their loved one.

I don't think what I have said is strong at all. The reports are eyeopening, the level of care afforded to these kids is abysmal. The Church stood in the way of providing documentation for families to find their kids. Basically buried them and forgot where.

The fact we can't find these children is the "strong" complaint I have. You are suggesting that because we can't find over 3000 children.

The discoveries of unmarked graves began to make international headlines in May 2021, starting with the detection of 215 potential graves at the site of the former Kamloops Indian Residential School in British Columbia. This was followed by several other significant findings, including over 600 potential graves at the Marieval Indian Residential School site in Saskatchewan and 182 at the former St. Eugene's Mission School in British Columbia, among others.

All of that sounds like a very strong motivation to feel the way I do. I should not have to explain how this mistreatment is all racially motivated, too.

Lots of evidence of abhorrent mistreatment, over 3k lost children in hundreds of potential burial sites and you have the bravado to say "no one has been found" as if that means nothing is to be found.

People downplaying this stuff makes me want to vomit.

I was an early adopter of BOINC, a distributed scientific computing platform powering research projects, often protein folding with applications to Alzheimer's and cancer such as Folding@home and Rosetta@home, which distribute computationally expensive calculations to users' PCs who wished to donate their spare computing power.

Every time I think about how much energy is wasted on worthless speculation, I'm sick to my stomach thinking about how close we came to this technology being useful or productive in literally any way.
