Hello! I'm looking for work as an Infrastructure Engineer. I can deploy and manage infrastructure projects like high-performance compute, multi-region content delivery networks, GPU resources for AI workloads, etc. I do this in a vendor-agnostic way, working directly with compute resources without making things more complicated than they need to be.

I'm interested in working remote (EEA region) in an English or Dutch speaking team. Some things that are important to me are: Quality over quantity, skill-based hiring (otherwise you won't like my CV), streamlined but flexible remote collaboration, as well as fun professionalism.
Yeah, kinda, although this is pretty much the entire discussion on how the asymmetric fence works:

> The slow path can execute its write(s) before making a membarrier syscall. Once the syscall returns, any fast path write that has yet to be visible (hasn’t retired yet), along with every subsequent instruction in program order, started in a state where the slow path’s writes were visible.

(I've actually seen this blog post before, but did not remember this part in detail.)
I don't think a tool is doing its job well when you make it work for your app. By contrary, it should make your app work
Depends what you mean by long Covid not being « major ». Seems like a lot of data out there that shows there’s quite a high amount of disabled people. Considering infection rate is close to 100%, doesn’t take a huge percentage for it to reach millions of people.
What's problematic about this table is that some of the "quality problems" are just statistical noise. For example it lists quality problems for sha1-160/sha2-224/sha2-256, which should not have any weaknesses that can be detected by a statistical test. Others seem to be implementation limitations, not flaws in the algorithm itself (e.g. blake3_c's "no 32bit portability").
God did it.

In all seriousness, I think the bar is higher than just “here is an explanation that makes sense”. The new model has to explain stuff better than existing established models.
As a matter of fact, their phone is ringing constantly after the world watched this video.

I use sslcheck for this. https://pypi.org/project/sslcheck/

Badssl is good to see how clients react to a badly configured certificate, which is a different thing from checking whether your certificate or web site are badly configured.
Looking for a job is another part time job, at least for engineers who need to take technical tests.
That's not a real via ferrata. Via ferratas in Europe require a helmet, a harness and a double hook lanyard, and being secured to a steel rope at all times.
They have a list of specific chips the firmware supports which is very useful but I couldn't find any concrete camera models this was for or the features the firmware supports.

Maybe I missed it but it'd be nice to raise the visibility of that a bit more.
For Minecraft, very much so. Minecraft, especially the Java version, is in a comparatively odd place in that it receives significant free content updates AND officially supports running any historical version AND has an extremely vibrant modding community.

Minecraft (Java) is as much of a game engine for others to build on as it is a game itself.
Growing calls by random dudes, sure.

As long as these calls are not coming from the actual shareholders, those calls are just random noise.

I patented a scheme where cell phones could communicate with morse code. The idea was to put a rocker switch on the phone, one side for dit and the other for dah. Then, you could text people without needing to look at the display. You could be texting people at a meeting with your hand in your pocket. The phone would convert the morse to text to transmit to your penpal.

You could also opt to receive morse by having the phone vibrate in morse so you could stealthily receive texts, too!
This is insane again as it was just found that an infection lowers your IQ by 3 points (2 big recent studies)*. The average person now has over 3 infections to date. We aren't even far enough in the research to understand the compound effects on the brain (and body). And basically, everyone in society, even the smartest people are losing IQ points at a time when we need people to become more intelligent and aware and able to adapt to an accelerating future...

"Extrapolation to Loss of IQ points, compared to uninfected controls:

Mild Covid, Resolved Symptoms: 3 points

Unresolved Symptoms: 6 points

Covid requiring Intensive Care Unit admission: 9 point

Reinfection: Additional 2 points

Show HN: Emilio organizes your email, saving 60% of time – get to know the v1.0
Yellow Hackers!

Dani and I have been building Emilio for emails (pun intended).

Emilio is an AI-powered email manager that automates tasks to save users time. The key functionalities are sorting prioritized emails, summarizing messages and drafting emails with the user's tone (this last one is yet to come). The service operates in the background and integrates with your Gmail / Google Workspace account.

We underwent a Google certification in the past month, so now we’re ready to release it. Most might say: why do I need another AI email client? Well, Emilio works better than most (mix of AI and deterministic algorithms), plus you don’t need to install anything else - it just works on Gmail.

We are still in the beginning, would be amazing to have your feedback - don’t be soft!
One area Morse code is popular is using limited radios. Morse code works well with tiny (phone sized), low power radios. There is challenge called SOTA where hike to top of mountain and make contacts. It is much easier to take small radio and Morse paddle than the bigger radios needed for voice. There are low-power data modes, but then have to carry computer along and deal with software.
Written by someone that doesn't have much of a grasp on tech or programming - and no, being a reporter covering tech doesn't mean you know anything about programming...sounds more like someone shilling for a consulting company licking their chops to get some laws passed to force companies to rewrite everything new from scratch. Not unlike the boondoggle that was Y2K, for those of you old enough to have been developers during that ridiculous exercise. Don't get me wrong - never made so much money in my life rewriting things that didn't need to be rewritten in the first place, but in many, many cases was completely unnecessary.

Is there technical debt in some old systems? yes. Is there technical debt in systems written 3 months ago? absolutely. They are both equally likely to have at least some technical debt - taking a system already running in production, perhaps written in cobol 20+/- years ago, even with some known problems - and paying someone to rewrite the entire thing in the newest framework de-jour, imo, is just (if not more) likely to introduce new bugs and new technical debt as it is to solve any problems with the old system.

Sure, if the system no longer meets your business needs, and no one can figure out how to fix or maintain it - then by all means, consider an upgrade - but if it is not (seriously) broke - don't fix it.
I am primarily looking for a summer internship from May to August 2024! However, as I am 2 semesters away from obtaining my BSc in bio-informatics, I am also interested in a full time position as long as my employer understands my situation as a soon-to-graduate student. I am looking for anything tech-related.

Location: Montréal, Québec, Canada. Je peux aussi parler français!

Remote: Yes, but fully onsite is also good

Willing to relocate: Yes, across Canada

Technologies: My favourite programming language is Rust, I do all my open source contributions in it now! I am currently working on porting rgbds, a Game Boy compiler and linker, from C++ to Rust. Tagged unions are great to define token types in the parsers used in its structure, but C++ makes it hard to write them with its syntax! Rust enums make it much easier.

Aside from Rust, I have done UX and web gamedev with JavaScript as a hobby for two years. I use Linux Mint as my daily OS, and have academic experience in machine learning libraries such as Scikit Learn | Gensim | Tensorflow | PyTorch | Keras.

Résumé/CV: I don't want to post it online for all to see, but it's available on request. I can speak a little about myself, though!

I have never actually worked in tech. It has been my passion for a very long time, but as my family background is in agriculture and craftsmanship, working with computers was poorly regarded. It's only in the last 2 years that I've actually really settled on doing what I actually enjoy for a living! Due to this, my greatest work experiences are in leather chemistry in a fur tanning facility, and in entomological research for a federal Canadian agriculture scientific centre.

I have the solution for LLM safety:

Instead of 1 LLM, use 2:

The generator and the discriminator.

Prompt goes to generator.

Generated response goes to discriminator.

If response is deemed safe, discriminator forwards response to user.

Else, discriminator prompts generator to sanitize its response. In a loop.

You read it here first.

Now where is my nobel prize.
We have barely any idea what happens long term. Chicken pox becomes shingles later in life. One infection of covid can disable you, and it happens more often than people think. Basically for every dead person, there is now a disabled one.

2021: https://www.americanprogress.org/article/covid-19-likely-res...

NHS study from 2022: "Results
Of 206 299 participants (mean age 45 years, 54% female, 92% white), 15% were ever labour market inactive and 10% were ever long-term absent during follow-up. Compared with pre-infection, inactivity was higher in participants reporting Long Covid 30 to <40 weeks [adjusted odds ratio (aOR): 1.45; 95% CI: 1.17–1.81] or 40 to <52 weeks (aOR: 1.34; 95% CI: 1.05–1.72) post-infection. Combining with official statistics on Long Covid prevalence, and assuming a correct statistical model, our estimates translate to 27 000 (95% CI: 6000–47 000) working-age adults in the UK being inactive because of Long Covid in July 2022."

> So what if they’re an iPhone user? The topic at hand is about legislation coming from outside the Apple ecosystem. It doesn’t matter if it’s Android or a politician.

I'm not talking about the EU law and neither was OP—OP is proposing a clause that they would like future laws to include, a clause that doesn't actually exist in any real regulation. I'm talking about their proposal and similar proposals coming from other random commenters on HN who overwhelming are within the Apple ecosystem.

> The rest of your post reads like you just have a general deep seated disdain for Apple users.

Not at all! There are plenty of good reasons to choose Apple. One of the biggest reasons is that they provide an extremely integrated and curated experience, which is really valuable for most smartphone users.

What I disapprove of is people who try to pretend that they have no choice but to buy an iPhone and then attempt to force Apple to fundamentally alter the product they're offering (which, again, most of their customers enjoy) when there are already valid options out there that serve their need for absolute user freedom.
The old Nest DropCam cameras are about to go EOL next month in April 2024. It's too bad that hardware isn't supported by this project.
The tragedy of the commons requires a resource that is being depleted, which definitely isn't something that merely using FOSS would do.
You can still find traditional unspoiled places in Europe and Alps have plenty of closed off areas. However, more accessible routes are good for old and disabled (e.g. post-COVID effects destroying one's athletic abilities etc.)
I support the sentiment, but the actual issue here that nobody ever brings up is that the FOSS solutions for chat all suck. It's not just network effect. IRC is not friendly to set up for people who are not tech-savvy, and it sorely lacks a lot of features that people use Discord for. Matrix isn't much better, since the only user-friendly Matrix client is just trying to copy Discord, and in doing so ends up looking and feeling like a cheap knockoff. If you want to shame people for using the most effective chat application, provide an alternative that's actually good (and Discord is not a high bar to beat; it actually sucks too, there's just nothing better).
You can use traditional materials with a modern understanding and make a much better house, it just takes longer to build so this cheap, throwaway culture we’re in looks down on it.

Solid wood, not using latex paints or wrap, allowing the house to breathe where it needs to, and you can still have an R60 wall.

Hey folks.

I care a bunch about engineering efficiency, shipping products that customers like, and generally being a helper. I've been serving as a principal engineer for Fortune 500 companies for the past few years and I appreciate how that role allows me to help lots of folks get better at their job.

A role will probably be a good fit for me if:

- the team wants to be better tomorrow than they are today (always learning / improving)
- customer happiness/delight is a priority to the company
- there is a clear direction for "success" (even if we might not yet know how to get there) and some way to measure if we've gotten there (even if that measurement might change over time)

I feel especially capable at helping you with:

- cross-organizational initiatives
- fundamental technology shifts and the reducation/replatforming that it requires
- iteration of a legacy/needs-some-love code base towards a more maintainable place
- open source strategy / involvement

Let's chat?
Here's the thing.

If you come in with low-mid trust and say "Expectations are 9-5, 5 days a week, in office" that's what you'll get.

If you come in with high-trust and say "four day workweek, flexible hours, remote" you may well get 5-6 days a week most weeks and 7 days a week in crunch times, still with high morale.

People are fearful of the latter approach because if the wrong people are hired, it can absolutely be abused. The flipside is that the former approach will seem stifling to the right people.
I know very well. But that new hire somehow managed to find that time, didn't they? If they are that much better than the long term folks, than the salary parity seems to be justified by that also.
Article and research paper
Me too. Flu is annoying to me but nothing I'd have even really considered a major health threat in general. Covid changed my mind with respect to respiratory disease.

When I finally contracted Covid (I was vaccinated + boosted in alignment with then current CDC guidelines), I ran the range of all the major symptoms like high fever, loss of smell, tachycardia, drop in O2 saturation, etc. Most of the symptoms persisted for several days before I began to recover and the tachycardia and O2 levels bothered me the most. I was actively monitoring my O2 levels and had they dropped much lower I would have gone to the ER as a precautionary measure. Even after the initial recovery, it took almost two more weeks for me to recover my sense of smell.

For me, Covid is no joke and it is absolutely insane to me how basic health precautions like wearing a mask to reduce transmission, isolating, etc have become politicized.
> In a new review paper, anthropologists tally all of the fossils that have been clearly identified as Denisovan since the first discovery in 2010. The entire list consists of half a broken jaw, a finger bone, a skull fragment, three loose teeth and four other chips of bone.

Right... is that enough? Then:

> “What we have found out about Denisovans is that, from a behavioral perspective, they were much more like modern humans,” said Laura Shackelford, a paleoanthropologist at the University of Illinois.

How can anyone make those sorts of leaps, on the basis of a tooth and some bone chips?

> Dr. Shackelford said findings like these raised the possibility that Denisovans and modern humans coexisted and interacted for tens of thousands of years — though whether they communicated is unclear. “That’s really going down the rabbit hole,” Dr. Shackelford said.

What he's saying is we can't tell if these purported species communicated, on the basis of what seems to me to be super lightweight evidence. He said "communicate"!
I visited a little before the pandemic locked things down. At that time, we were required to have an armed guard on our visit to Dallol. There had been some shootings and abductions in the area, but it wasn't common (I believe these violent incidents had been attributed to Eritrean cross-border excursions). The Afar region (where Dallol is) was the only area of Ethiopia we encountered such issues at that time. Violence was still extremely rare. We never felt threatened.

I especially loved the Tigray region. The people were amazing. There was an innocence similar to that I encountered in Türkiye, decades ago. It is hard to reconcile the recent violence, and the universally kind and generous people we met there. We regularly saw young women and girls walking down dark alleyways alone after dark--the place felt safer than any place I've ever been.
RStudio is a nice tool for making some quick graphs on data, descriptive analyisis and quickly exploring a dataset. Building some reports, or manipulating small datasets for beautiful graphs.

A lighterweight alternative to renv is to use Posit Public Package Manage (https://packagemanager.posit.co/) with a pinned date. That doesn't help if you're installing packages from a mix of places, but if you're only using CRAN packages it lets you get everything as of a fixed date.

And of course on the web side you have shiny (https://shiny.posit.co), which now also comes in a python flavour.

Interlisp-D and MIT CADR Lisp Machine demos for IJCAI Conference (1981)
Two different very early Lisp Machines (a Xerox Dolphin and a MIT CADR), which are personal workstations running a Lisp operating system with early graphical user interfaces, are being demonstrated, from Xerox PARC. Both machines are integrated into the early 3 Mhz Ethernet there. The Interlisp-D / Xerox Dolphin demo begins at 00:20 and the Lisp Machine Lisp / MIT CADR demo begins at 25:00.

Includes noises from Lisp Machine keyboards. The use of the Interlisp-D structure editor for source code is shown.
