SEEKING FREELANCER | Deyan7 | Full Stack AI Engineer | Bochum, Cologne, Mainz, Germany | Remote possible | Full Time

We are Deyan7. We build leading AI solutions.
Join our tech-savvy team and create solutions for generative AI and ChatGPT. Since the launch of GPT4 in March, we have implemented projects in areas such as fire protection, tax law, education, and medical devices using the latest language models. We develop AI co-pilots for engineers, AI coaches for schoolchildren, and suggestion systems for technical writers. We draw on decades of experience in software development for German global leaders. We see the potential of the technology, are curious about the next developments, and proud of what we are building.

As a Full Stack AI Engineer, you ideally should have fun to:

- experiment with genAI, LLMs and different retrieval technologies
- build suiting Frontends
- build Backends that bridge the gap between Frontend and the ML parts.

As a skilled freelancer, you should know how to handle RAG and RPA cases for multi-faceted kinds of input data.

You will be working closely with other devs and our customers, with the possibility to actively influence the direction of the project and to introduce new technology or approaches.
Your project increment will always be working software that is really used and needed.

Here´s the catch: our customers are mostly German, hence the data is primarily German and therefore the output of our LLM inferences is German. So, be ready to use German at a C1 level at least!

Additionally, our working setup is currently not capable of handling any other time offsets than +- 3 hours from our local time (CET/CEST).

I've only done paper trading so far, but yes it was profitable.

I've learned a lot by building it, so for me the effort has been worth it.

Being an engineer does not make someone a good person, though. Engineers are perfectly able to cut corners. Putting an engineer in the CEO seat won’t solve anything if there is no culture of responsibility. The problems continued under Dennis Muilenburg, which AFAICT has 2 degrees in engineering and none in business management.
Honestly, 10k/mo for four kids is on the cheaper side for the Bay.

Just in daycare alone, they should be at ~8k/mo for four (~$500/wk/kid, daycares can't do bulk discounts). I have friends in TN that are at ~1k/wk. per kid with a ~2.5 year waiting lists. Daycare isn't well tied local cost of living in the US.

Also, rent for one person isn't rent for a family of six, it should be a bit higher for the extra space. And $2.5k per month is, nationally speaking, really high for one person! Wow. I had no idea it was that bad in the Bay these days.
That's on average. The Max is historically about 30 times more dangerous than the average, putting it on the same ballpark as cars.

But of course, all the historical problems have been fixed...

Written text doesn't have tones and accents, so everyone understands as they could.

I definitely read your comment with the accent on 'Malay accent', missing the whole part was in quotes. I just had enough experience to know it not limited to Malaysia or Asia.
New car reliability measured in warranty returns per vehicle is much WORSE over the last few years than 15 years ago. Turning your nose up at the 15 year old Toyota is probably making a choice to be _less_safe, since at least the old Toyota's recalls are known, and likely fixed. The new vehicle doesn't have enough time on the roads for all the dangerous defects to be identified and recalled yet.
Please do not hijack the back button.

Your website should send a 307 Temporary Redirect to HN, so when I go back, I return to where I was, instead of being sent to another random day.

Yes and no.

In order to get and maintain the best possible clarity, key for text, I have to wear it higher on my face than is comfortable and tighten the strap more than I would prefer.

If I could wear it a little lower or with different supports on my face I could easily spend a full day in it; as it is, I’ve yet to spend more than 4h with it on.

I find the Meta Quest Pro and 3 more comfortable, but the CV1 was the most comfortable. Can’t imagine using those for productivity though; the 3 is _ok_ for text but not stellar, and the pass through mode there is a joke compared to the Vision Pro.

Viture and NReal (XReal now, I guess?) AR glasses don’t compare at all. Vastly more comfortable (if your face isn’t too wide) but tiny FOV and lots of fiddling required to get sharp text, with unavoidable blur at the edges of the screen.

…I guess I’ve been an enthusiast since the Rift Kickstarter?

Well, outsourcing fuselage assembly to Spirit worked so well!

Now you don't have any direct control over the processes, but at the same time you can't switch from Spirit to someone else because there is no other company that can do the manufacturing.

I’m old enough to remember before everyone had a cellphone, let alone a smart phone. People interacted more in real life, you would chat with random strangers throughout your day. It brought people closer together, there was more of a community, and things were less polarized. Sure you would meet some crazy people, but it gave you something to talk about back home. You would also meet interesting people and even get some interesting experiences.

Now everyone is in their own social / information bubble, oblivious to their own surroundings. We are more polarized, lonely, and with less real life friends.
Most people rent, and their deductions won't add up to 14.6k/29.2 without a mortgage.

This looks impractical. May be fun to watch a movie with, but since I rarely if ever watch movies by myself, kind of a no-go for me.
No, no, not Céline Dion!

Is that what the US military dished out to Noriega in the Panama invasion?
No wonder he surrendered! It was alleged to be 'heavy metal', but is there acoustic evidence? I bet Celine would've got faster results.
"Delta Connection" isn't a "major" airline. It's a regional airline that Delta relabels. It's different airlines in different parts of the country. (And it's not just Delta. United does this too, and I'm fairly sure American does.)

So, the word "major" means that the GP was at least technically correct. (You can argue that it doesn't matter, because if Delta relabeled it, they should own the results...)
Agree!

By the time there were c380 Max's built, two of them had already fallen out of the sky (despite operating for only a year). That's c0.5% of the fleet falling out of the sky every 12 months!

Still not too risky on an individual flight, but if you were a pilot across a 40 year flying career those odds start to stack up across your cohort!

Plus it's a bizzare safety stance to try and sell "So what their planes fall out the sky much more than our competitors... It's still safer than driving!"
I wired up my deployment GitHub action to trigger a relay switch in an esphome device, whenever it finds that one of my SBCs might be offline prior to deployment.

I also setup an esphome automation on another plug that my space heater is plugged into. The obvious next step is a GitHub Action that fires 30 minutes before I wake up and turns on the heater plug.
Wow, and I thought my doorbell was complicated! I used an ESP-01 with a button to send an HTTP request to my home server, which would send me an XMPP message (to my phone and watch) and also send an HTTP request to another ESP01 which was connected through a relay to an old elevator bell, which would flash and ding twice. It worked reliably enough but some times it would take up to 30 seconds after pushing the button before the bell would ring.

Now that I'm in a house I installed a boring old wired doorbell which doesn't send me any messages, but does ring instantly every time it's pushed.

Edit: How does the reed switch work inside the doorbell? Very intrigued by this setup.
If you're not willing to take it in to have what sounds like a hardware fault fixed under the warranty you're paying for and not using, I'm not really sure what you want, except something to complain about.

Warranties exist for a reason, if you choose not to make use of it, that's on you, not the manufacturer.
There are a few big reasons to prefer TOSLINK over other digital interfaces:

Cost: TOSLINK can be implemented with two plastic connectors (one an LED, one a photodiode). After that, you're in a 3.3V domain. Other interfaces require transformers and other analog electronics to go from the signalling domain to one that is useful in a digital system.

Noise/electrical performance: Using an optical interface means the systems are fully electrically isolated, with no risk of ground loops or noise coupling. There is also no risk of radiated emissions.

Cabling convenience: TOSLINK supports a very long, thin, cable that can be checked for functionality at a glance (look at the receiver end: is there light?). Any comparable electrical interface is going to be at least 3 conductors and require a multimeter to check for breaks.

Lastly, the reason to prefer digital is that every A/D-D/A step adds noise, distortion, and latency. The general desire is to convert to analog as late in the chain as possible to avoid that.
Once you've gotten rid of a lot of the more aggressive functions of a smartphone, I don't find the tradeoffs of carrying a large, fragile glass screen worth it.

My current flip device (Sonim XP3+) is mil-spec tough (in the sense of "Is tested to a range of military standards and passes"), lasts a casual week on battery (or two, if I shut it down at night, which I frequently do), and I can use it just fine with gloves on - which isn't a problem because the usable temperature range is radically wider than smartphones too. It also has a far louder ringer and speaker than almost any smartphone out there.

But more importantly, to your second point:

> I do resent things that require smartphone though.

The way to fight this requires "not carrying a smartphone." If you obviously have a smartphone and refuse to install the apps to do [whatever], you're just being cantankerous and can be safely ignored. When you pull out a flip phone and act baffled, it really surprises people. I don't think a lot of people under the age of about 30 even realize there's anything that's not "Android" or "iOS" out there (or if they do, they're still shocked that anyone would use it). So because I object to "smartphones required," and I'm old enough/stubborn enough to help counter that world, carrying a flip phone is a way for me to help fight back against the "smartphone as default way of interacting with all reality" thing that's been creeping in for quite a few years now, accelerated with the touch-free stuff during Covid.

> Exactly - management culture and engineering culture are opposite ends of a spectrum.

And that’s the crux of the problem. They actually need one another but the egos on both sides refuse to acknowledge that.
It's true that all wars end eventually. But this happening seems to me a sign that relations might not normalize quite so easily after. Why else would businesses with operations in both Russia and EU be seeking to split themselves apart neatly in advance of sanctions that would make such operations extremely difficult?

Who is Times Square for but Europeans and other tourists? Do you think New Yorkers go there to see the latest billboards? I feel bad for anyone I know who has to work in the few big towers in times square.
I am pretty sure this guy came to my french island in 1998 or 1999 when I was last year of high school (if it was not him, it was another cosmonaut who had done a very long stay, but I am pretty sure it was him). He came to visit my high school to give a talk. A close classmate, who was half Russian and could speak well the language, translated for us. Kind of cool :D
With the current rate of attacks Ukraine is not able to cause any noticeable infrastructural issues, and anything beyond approximately the Volga river is not reachable by any weapon systems.

How long I wonder before Apple is able to link multiple Vision Pros together so that people in the same physical space can share the same augmented reality?

Imagine if when he says hello to his partner, she's also wearing a Vision Pro and is able to walk around their house seeing the same reality.

That would make the VP much less isolating which is one of the main "I'd never use this" reasons I have against it. I could imagine in a few years time my wife and I each having these (our kids are grown and out of the house) and using them to work during the day and watch movies together at night.

Now, not at $3,500 a piece and with all the compromises this device has. But a future device that's more affordable and has fewer compromises... maybe.
I ended up settling on a ~27" landscape and bit smaller portrait monitor for my desktop. I tried a third for a while as basically chat/communications but it was a bit much. I'd probably be fine with a single large screen but I like having reference material on a separate monitor. Having a separate laptop is sometimes useful.
Thanks for the stats! Interestingly traveling by space shuttle comes down to 70.000 deaths per 1 billion hours traveled, compared 30.8 deaths per 1 billion hours flown.

If you don't trust OpenAI, you can choose to trust Microsoft. Azure OpenAI is 3-months behind OpenAI that costs 3x as much, but you get more 'security' and better performance.
This is an experiment simple enough that you can do at your place to observe that this is wrong.
Teamviewer hasn't worked for me in years. At some point it started to claim I was using it for commercial purposes, and even after convincing support that this wasn't the case, I've never been able to maintain a connection for longer than a minute since.

I cannot help but get the feeling that Boeing woes are like a canary in a coal mine for larger structural issues in the US government as a whole. Too much effort is put into spin, public relations and propaganda instead of actual just getting things done.
Curious to hear your opinion on ODATA after using it on your projects. Pros, cons, anything.

You probably meant "node" here.
Here's a bookmarklet that does the same thing:

it actually does: its not part of the WebGPU API directly itself, but its separate: https://deno.com/blog/v1.40#webgpu-windowing--bring-your-own...
Hm. I disagree that executive level shenanigans translate to real world non-compliance with privacy law when there is an explicit request to delete/not store data.
I've add support for a bunch of other search engines.

Currently, the script supports 42 search engines in total:

Google, Yahoo, Yahoo Japan, Yandex, SearXNG, StartPage, Brave, DuckDuckGo, Ghostery, Presearch, Metager, 4get, LibreY, Stract, eTools, Mojeek, Yep, Torry, Qwant, Ecosia, Oscobo, GOOD, All the internet, AOL, Info, OceanHero, Swisscows, Lilo, Entireweb, GMX, YouCare, Murena Spot, Nona, Exalead, Seznam, Gibiru, Lukol, GiveWater, Excite, WebCrawler, MetaCrawler, Dogpile

The script also removes Yahoo redirection URL and extract the real URL of search results.

The script can not only used for redirection to privacy-oriented alternative frontends, it can be used for any URL modification tasks.

The advantage of this script is this can finish URL modification seamlessly after every search, and change the displayed URL correspondingly. It's much more intuitive and convenient.

You can find out all the URL modification rules (RegEx) I used here: https://github.com/domeniczz/URL-Modifier-for-Search-Engines...
Presumably, the refresh rate for it is even worse.
Is that really an android 12 feature? F-droid Basic (almost the same app, same dev, same looks, without fancy direct sharing options; you can actually get it via old f-droid) can do that as well. They had to rewrite their implementation of how apps are installed, it took a while. With that only first install of the app needs confirmation.
You can use this link[1] and include a random day, no?

All Yandex's money is already in Russia, in Sberbank or smth. Good luck telling Sberbank to freeze it and send to Ukraine. In this deal, they are salvaging some money and taking it out of Russia.

Checking climate for Barbados, I rate that as factually incorrect. And of little relevance.
I doubt it's useful for complex queries or databases without proper relation info in the database schemes.

So it's limited to rather simple queries for users without SQL knowledge. But I doubt they should have direct access to the database tables.
US lawyers and healthcare also deserve responsibility and blame in this strangely American tragedy of the Insurance-Industrial-Complex (IIC).

Nobody can suck-up free money faster than the US legal and medical systems (okay, US education system is also a contender).

Is that why pushy American mothers always want their kids to be doctors and lawyers? Seems like a small rent-seeking step to so-called success for a child, but a giant leap into the abyss for society.

Think what you will about Musk, but SpaceX has completely revolutionized space travel and will be in the history books a hundred years from now.
90% of my usage has been watching media. It won’t pair with laptops (haven’t had time to debug) and the eye-based UI isn’t great, and is outright awful when navigating iPad apps that don’t have working highlights. Scroll and tap gestures are amazingly smooth and accurate; it’s frustrating that there aren’t more ways to use that - I need to dig around in accessibility, I suspect…
I agree in the current state but think that's too focused on the outcomes right now. It seems more likely that a bunch of companies would perfect all those kinks because there's enough economic incentive to do so.

It's similar to any disruptive technology at the beginning of an S-curve if you've read Innovator's Dilemma. At first, it just handles small niche use cases and the incumbent (software engineers) move upmarket to customers with higher demands that the disruptive technology can't satisfy (maybe the Autonomous driving software) but then the disruptive technology gets good enough as companies pour resources into developing it until it can satisfy even the higher demand customers.
Hi! Is there a general application in case my role isn't listed?
All of my of my on-the-go shopping without thinking about it beforehand have much smaller quantities than the one I specifically think about (especially because in Germany I usually take some bottles with me to deposit at the store), for that a smaller, foldable bag in my backpack has served me very well.
The pass through is indeed very fuzzy.

All the reviews where people state “it’s like looking through clear safety goggles”, etc. are bogus. It’s like looking through a cell phone camera from about 10 years ago. Especially in low light (e.g. a home office.)

The actual AR content, though, is amazingly sharp.
That's a hell of a lot of goal post moving. Comair is (and was at the time) a wholly-owned subsidiary of Delta. It counts.
> the one I find personally annoying the most are white LED headlights

Those are the worst. Actually, I take that back. There was a trend a number of years ago of people putting in these super-bright headlamps that were usually tinted purple/blue. Those were the worst -- cars using them were basically telling oncoming traffic "I hate you and hope you die". But, at least in my state, they were made illegal.

But those superbright LED headlamps come pretty close.
Currently self-employed as a.....rare coin dealer! Odd path for a tech nerd hacker like me, but certainly the most fun thing I've ever done with no plans to change this gig ever.

My backstory: Collected coins as a kiddo, took a 35-year detour into startup land: Started a VC-backed Web 1.0 company from 1999-2002, ran a non-tech company for ~10 years, then 2014-2022 did very traditional early stage tech product management / utility infielder roles. All fun times with at least one legit acquisition/IPO so far, but it turns out I don't love long zoom meetings and politics and formal process all that much.

In 2021 I started getting back into my old coin-collecting hobby and dabbled in buying and selling at a local coin show, and boy oh boy did that escalate quickly (it was one of the most fun and dopamine-filled weekends I can remember in a long time).

Cut to 2023 and I'm running my own rare coin business full-time -- buying, selling, and trading. It's such a fascinating business and very quiet multi-billion dollar industry with enormous opportunity. You need to have a passion for coin collecting and have a knack and aesthetic eye for quality (it's not all spreadsheet Moneyball), but man is it fun.

Feel free to AMA about being a tech nerd full-time coin dealer :)

Any reason why you can't run a VPN server in your home environment? I run wireguard and OpenVPN at home on my router. I don't pay for static IPs but they rarely ever actually change.
If you have to breach rules which are a standard in developed countries, means exactly that you are uncompetitive with your skills. Funny that social and salary dumping where exactly the populist argument that the British voters picked up most eagerly in referendum on Brexit. That's post-Communist mentality to feel satisfaction from "screwing someone over", it's devastating the social trust, on macro scale it doesn't pay well.
