Nightwatch.io | 100% Remote | Full-time & Part-time Cultivating bootstrapped, non-corporate environment

We are the company famous for "requesting" a desktop screenshot when applying for a job, which earned us a lot of attention and criticism, even though the input field for the unimaginable sinful experiment was never a required one.

We are also known that we hire slow, especially since we look for a unique blend of multiple tech such as Rust, Go, Elixir (not necessarily exactly all in one), that caused some of the more suspicious members to think we are a recruiting agency looking for American talent to bring them to Europe. Which of course is not the case, and we deeply apologize to anyone who might find such slow and broad hiring offensive.

Another observation they will often do to derive certain assumptions that do not match the established way of "silicon valley" prescription is they will go on Linkedin to check for everyone who works for the company without knowing that there also exist people who don't really take Linkedin seriously, and don't have the need to update it in the first day they start working at Google.

Nevertheless, we appreciate the readers who undertake the efforts here and appreciate when people do something "outside of the established book of prescription", so we would like to preserve this culture in our humble organization.

Nightwatch is helping companies understand their visibility on search engines and within LLM models.

We value freedom, autonomy, ownership, the attitude.

Hello! I built Fakts (https://fakts.co/) a few years ago pre-LLMs as a college project. It attempts to highlight true, false, or inconclusive statements in a given article by checking them against a database of reputable sources. Feel free to send an email -- I'd be happy to share some of the learnings!
It is video related, so plasma could be valid as well
Show HN: Easy Webpage Summarizer – Quickly Summarize Webpages and YouTube Videos
I'm excited to share a project. It's a Python script that utilizes the LangChain framework and the ChatOllama model to generate concise summaries from webpages and YouTube videos. For those preferring a graphical interface, it includes a Gradio app that runs in the browser to use the summarizer interactively. Easily containerize and deploy the summarizer with Docker.

The tool is perfect for anyone needing quick insights without reading through the entire content/ It's open for contributions, so if you're interested in improving or extending its functionalities, feel free to dive in!
Thanks I just shrunk it a bunch more. It's a tech demo so apologies for the basic UI. It's also open source so anyone can remix it and play with the UI too
NTLM traffic issue after installing the April 2024 security update
By "code architecture" I mean the packaging of their client libraries.

This attack demonstrates that they should be tightly focused and have minimal downstream dependencies.

I don't have any experience with systemd, but typically, people will bundle _all_ of their client libraries into one .so and say "use that".

However, what needs to happen is there should be multiple .so's, one for each sub-API. At least there should be libraries for frequently used shim code (like notifications seems to be).

Then systems that need to push information don't need to pull in the dependencies for other parts of the overall systemd interface.

I can't think of a reason why pushing local notifications would require a compression library. The notifications should be information heavy already, so not very compressible.

As I said, it's a growth and project age thing. One moment you're on one side of a line, the next you have to skill up and do things differently.

How the team responds is what is important. That is why people are objecting to the SUID work. Not because sudo isn't a hole, but that the systemd team isn't considered responsive enough to take it on.

I know I'm taking lessons from this to my work. It's an unpleasant mirror for me to look in.

Isn't the Google CEO also Alphabet CEO now because they didn't manage to make them 2 actual independent companies?
No way there should be incentives for living outside dense areas. Utility, road, and service maintenance costs increase per capita as density goes down, and currently that cost is not borne by people in those areas.
Depends on the startup. I'd say it's probably better suited to a middle ground: the primarily server-rendered application that needs interactivity without committing to a huge build ecosystem.

For most personal blogs, even HTMX is probably overkill.

You don't have to pick one or the other. A Gantt chart is just a pretty and easy to read graph based on the topological sort of activities and their dependencies and durations laid out in time. They also aren't meant to be static, unless you're working for a badly managed org that uses Waterfall the Gantt chart gets updated as things progress and new information comes in.

If you have a backlog, and you don't mark what is dependent on what (in progress or also in the backlog) you're just hurting yourself. Once you add that information and some very basic estimation (even just scale of expected effort is enough) you can generate a Gantt chart and use Monte Carlo simulations to get an understanding of your time estimates.
This, (and/)or start charging for the true costs (externalities).

> Driving is an amazing. It allows everyone huge amounts of freedom

Your definition of "everyone" excludes children, many seniors, people who can't afford a personal vehicle, and those who can't drive due to disabilities or health conditions. You're also naively ignoring that just the infrastructure needed to support cars on its own often greatly impinges on these groups' freedom of movement.

You've posted that seven times in this thread already; can you please stop? I realize it's an important question but avoiding repetition is the cardinal principle here.
Isn’t this going to simply result in companies and immigrants claiming that their job or skill set is “AI” in order to game the immigration system? How can this be made legitimately focused on scarce talent and not just turned into a method to increase labor supply and reduce costs.
> Humans would say "Left" 100% of the time in a zero-shot scenario as well.

How can you know what all humans would do?

If the humans interpreted the task correctly, that is, if they understood they will only be asked once, but in a hypothetical repeated experiment the result should still be 80/20, they would certainly not always say "left".
Best comment in the thread. I think defining certain languages as "crystallised", rather than "set", explains well the underlying structure has taken a specific shape based on specific tenets. Well said.

Hi, I'm Roshan and I'm a software engineer with 13 years of experience building creative solutions and solving scaling problems at fast growing startups. I've started my own company, worked with the Heroku founders on Xeroc PARC-style research projects, and most recently left a YC company (PopSQL) when we were acquired. I'm looking for early or middle stage startups working on interesting and ambitious problems!
Yeah. Does gp not use C++? No new feature gets support in like less than 4 years. :p And I don't think that's a bad thing unless it's replacing a premature abomination feature released too soon, like `auto_ptr`. That's getting removed entirely soon; imagine if it were harder to do that because it got adopted faster and so much code relied on it that WG21 decided to keep it in "deprecated" limbo forever.

Also, we're on GCC 8! TnT '17 is the highest it can go.
Gauntlet was the first simultaneous multi-player game I remember. The first time playing it with 3 other friends was "one of those things" growing up that I'll never forget.

At this point, I think there are multiple sufficiently general-purpose languages bolted onto Excel if you have 365 (sadly enough, I work at a place with LTSC) - Power Query, the array language subset of Excel's formula language, Python, Office.js, VBA. But if you're collaborating with people I think you only predictably have VBA.
Most of the comments here are against the use of cameras to monitor public spaces. But how else is society supposed to deal with crime while limiting expense on police officers, detectives, prosecutors, and all that? Surveillance and AI powered surveillance (with human verification) seems like a good way to track and identify and capture criminals. I definitely think there should be some regulation to protect the data, require probable cause, warrants, or whatever - but I don’t think banning it is the right answer either. Unless we are willing to become harsher on crime in other ways to deter it.
All this thing does is send off an API request to chat GPT or something else like it. As is you can give chat GPT an image and it'll read it for you, and interpret it or whatnot.

You can just use Chat GPT on your phone and get 90% of the same experience. But then it's a matter of branding. To some it's cooler to use a toy like this. Sorta like how Beats headphones are often beaten by headphones costing a 1/3rd.

Edit: At 200$ I'm not mad, it's ultimately a toy. Much better than the AI pin costing 700$ + 25$ a month.
It's the ambient temperature sensor, not the engine temperature sensor. My guess is that the head unit either contains the sensor or is responsible for broadcasting it. The head unit talks to the dashboard to redisplay nav instructions, I'm guessing it's also responsible for sending the temperature info to the dashboard. And since I pulled the fuse, all I get is --F, so the information isn't available on the CAN. Don't know why - I'm not an automotive engineer :)

Show HN: KirinEdit – Teaching LLMs to edit text
Introducing KirinEdit - teaching LLMs to edit text. KirinEdit can 'edit' given text input by replacing text sequences in it instead of having to rewrite the entire text!

Demo Website: https://kirinedit.streamlit.app
(View on Desktop)

Why?
Suppose you are building a webpage with chatGPT, for each change, chatGPT would have to rewrite the entire file (code) or can tell you what and where in the file you have to manually change something. Enter KirinEdit, which can directly make those changes (in-content replacements) for you on its own or through an instruction from another LLM like chatGPT. This leads to huge cost savings and latency drops for use-cases/workflows which are iteration heavy as minimal tokens are expended.

Please read the 'What is it' section on the Demo website for more information.

> maybe I was just a jerk in the interview

I will say that this is something you definitely should not be, especially if it's a larger corp. You should be political, passionate, approachable and friendly. It doesn't matter if you are more technically skilled. It might be even worse for interviewers if you are technically skilled and arrogant about it, because it would make their work lives worse. Even though I appreciate technical skill and passion, I wouldn't hire anyone who was actively arrogant or similar about it. I look to create a team that in theory would be supportive or empathetic towards low performers, although of course preferably we would find a solution to low performers or understand why they are performing low if possible, because ultimately I do want high performing team.

I don't know if that's his use case, but we had many users tell us they share their account with other users so they want the data to be encrypted even when logged in.

I think my question is...if you only supported a single key exchange algorithm and AES-128, and didn't verify server certificates, how much code would a TLS negotiation take? My understanding is that TLS libraries get large because they support dozens of key exchanges and ciphers, plus support previous versions of TLS, and a huge suite of features that most people probably don't even use. I would THINK you could achieve a bare minimum that an 8088 could run in under 100K of code.

Damn, now I'm tempted to actually try this. Know any way to emulate an 8088 at an accurate speed? ;-)
I wished more people wrote articles like this.

It makes me feel some kind of strange philosophical way however... like on one hand it makes me think "well yea, anyone who looks at different reviews would come to a similar conclusion", but the difference is that other people just aren't doing that, and for whatever reason let others shape their opinion on it instead of doing research.

Similarly I've noticed other people will dismiss ideas for making money from something "because it has already been done to death." But yet someone else comes along and does just that, again, and turns a good profit, and now the critic is silent. The only difference is the critic simply didn't do the same thing themselves, but they could have.

Am I just slowly arriving at a weird "this is how intelligence works" cross-roads? I might be losing it...
