Hey, I'm Derick Sozo Ruiz, a JavaScript Developer and Technical Writer with over 5 years of experience. I've written articles, emails, and developer docs for startups at different stages, including YC companies, helping them grow by using my technical knowledge and writing skills.

With over 5 years of experience in technical writing, I've contributed to various companies including:

- Crossmint (web3 payments): Helped attract more web3 NFT developers through a complete overhaul of technical documentation and new technical posts on Medium, leading to a 1.4x increase in onboarded developers in July 2022.

- Amplication (>13K GitHub stars): Revamped developer docs, wrote high-quality technical content, and doubled documentation engagement, resulting in a 53% increase in average documentation page visits per user and 63,478 total documentation page visits within 6 months.

- Vue Mastery: Grew Medium traffic by over 479,000 views through 8 educational, SEO-focused articles, achieving a total read time of 161 hours and 18 minutes.

- Text Blaze (YC W21), DigitalOcean, and The Startup (a top publication on Medium).

If you're looking for a technical writer who understands developers and can help you write articles, emails, or developer docs then I'm your guy.

Thank you.
Computer scientists are always so concerned with optimality. IMO it is sufficient to know an optimum exists and a way to converge on the solution, then finding quasi-optimal solutions is more than good enough.
I think it's much more than that. It's also scanlines, and more generally how a pixel looks when it's represented by electrons hitting the phosphor through a shadow mask. Even when a shadow mask is made up of holes, not slits (Trinitron), those holes do not correspond to pixels. This, the particular characteristics of the phosphor, and the fact that the phosphor is behind glass, probably all add up to a very certain look.

By the way, there definitely were "perfect rectangle" (I assume you don't actually mean "square", but rather just non-curved) CRTs later on, or at least very nearly so.

But yeah, maybe I should try the project you've linked, it may really be a good simulation of it. (Though I wouldn't want to use it as my "regular" terminal.)
For all the hype LLMs and chatbots get in this day and age, Waymo has an actual AI product out in the real world in a safety critical setting and is flying completely under the radar. It doesn’t help that they go about their work quietly without much fanfare, but it still amazes me how they’re not the poster child for modern day AI given how state of the art their tech is [1].

How much better is it than regular adaptive cruise control?
Just in case a carbon fiber messerschmidt becomes available!
Looks like terrific technology. However, the translation says that it's an "irrevocable revocable" non-commercial license with a form to apply for commercial use.
It seems to me that power is really 'what are you able to do', and I guess a part of that is how long it takes to do it.

But another factor is how much skill/knowledge you must have and how much effort you must expend to do the thing.

In that light, succinct languages are often not so powerful, at least for most people, and even in expert hands power is often quite focused.
FSD vs Waymo is not even close.
They work fine but are a privacy nightmare for occupants and the public alike: https://support.google.com/waymo/answer/9190819?hl=en

- Wrong shebang (debatable).

- Variables not quoted... (This is dangerous)

- PACMAN_MIRRORLIST_URL should be set in environment and only be overwritten in the script if the environment doesn't contain it.

- No test on the url if it is the right one.

- pipefail not set (This is dangerous, too). Use a temp file, read it into an array and work with that.

- Curl should use -f (debatable)
Reminds me a quite a bit of the plot line from Liu Cixin's The Dark Forest. When aliens are set to wipe out humanity in 400 years, the idea of a small number of elites escaping in generation ships is so abhorrent to the masses that would be left behind, that 'Escapism' is deemed a crime and banned.

I wonder if among civilisations generally in the universe, this resentment is so common, it could be counted as a "hard step" in Robin Hanson's grabby aliens model.

I don't know anything about Korean. It's a different language, and I'd imagine that some of the things I'm saying here don't apply to it, but that's a guess.

For thought experiments, you're assuming your consequent - obviously a society raised without kanji would get by without kanji, though I think the language would have to change somewhat. But for non-hypothetical people that exist now, I think the things you've been saying about kanji not making it easier to read Japanese just aren't true.
Just last week I was looking into OptaPlanner [1] and MiniZinc [2]. OptaPlanner even has a real-time/continuous optimization mode. There are a whole bunch of other solutions, but these were the most interesting to me.

I wonder why Google didn't just go with an off the shelf solution and integrate it instead of building their own solution?

> the way Musk talks about going to Mars always seemed like he just wants to leave by any means necessary

Which is amusing, because a whole lot of other people also just want him to leave by any means necessary.
According to ([1]), a part of the SF peninsula is currently being tested in the Waymo-employees-only mode.

Not everyone subscribes to this silly /s tag trend which defeats the intended purpose of sarcasm.
> The argument that any non-materialist position (panpsychism, substance dualism, monadism, etc.) must "believe in ghosts" is comically reductive.

"Ghost in the machine" is from Ryle. It's quite apropos here.

> You're playing a semantic game here; but in any case, understanding is a function of intelligence, so (working backwards), you're actually shooting yourself in the foot, anyway.

I honestly don't know what point you're trying to make.

To recap, you said that:

1. You don't believe in this AGI nonsense.

2. Searle elaborated on why AGI is nonsense in the 80s.

And I am clarifying for you that:

1. Searle did not elaborate on why AGI is nonsense in the 80s. He doesn't claim that AGI is nonsense at all.

2. His arguments are specific to the methods that were called AI, and a bunch of technical and philosophical claims about those methods and about the human mind, at the time he was writing. Ditto for Dreyfus.

What you can get Searle to commit to is the idea that human-like AGI can't be a program executed on computers as we think of them today. He's an ultra-materialist, like Ryle, and thinks the physical reality of brains is essential to the minds they produce. To make a mind, you need to make a brain. (In other words, he thinks "Lena" is nonsense: https://qntm.org/mmacevedo.)

So he would say that ChatGPT is no closer to being human-like AGI than ELIZA was, since it's no closer to having something like a human brain, and if all you meant by "the whole AGI nonsense" is that ChatGPT isn't a step toward human-like AGI, then he'd agree. But he wouldn't say that human-like AGI itself is nonsense, precisely because he doesn't believe in ghosts.
Oh, is that why Elon Musk bought Twitter? To power the colony ships?
At coder, no since "gVisor is a container runtime that reimplements the entire Linux ABI (syscalls) in Go, but we only need the networking for our purposes"

but gvisor was using full runsc for the networking benchmarks I linked, and IIUC runc's networking should be sufficiently similar to unsandboxed networking that I believe runsc<->runc network performance difference should approximate gvisor netstack<->vanilla kernel networking.
I’m confused. That also holds for functions that don’t return a function pointer, so this cannot be a good argument for banning returning function pointers.
On the frequency note, the primary standards for voltage are superconducting quantum Josephson junction arrays; basically fancy frequenvy-to-voltage converters.

Yes we need to make things better for humans. Not for some capitalistic non human overlord system.
Fwiw, the outward deployment of Cruise has stalled, but it was mostly because withheld accident footage rather than anything to do with the tech. They were nipping on the heels of Waymo, and they have continued development internally while they wait for their time-out from the regulators to be over. I expect them to be Lyft to Waymo’s Uber.
When i was in ground school in San Diego, the instructor explained that just what you said was the reason so few p51 mustangs still exist. Folks bought them cheap as surplus, rotated (wheels off the ground), would gun the huge engine whose torque at low air speed would counterrotate the fuselage and crash.

As someone who uses ellipsis often, but certainly never with sarcasm in mind, this was fascinating and shocking to me to learn this. I also want to appreciate @bluestein’s graceful response to the misunderstanding.
Even with Vulkan support on macOS it would be harder for Valve to make many games accessible as they do on Linux – unlike Linux, macOS does not support running 32-bit binaries anymore.
I think this is a reasonable concern, but it any/much different than Uber or Lyft?
It heats up the planet.
Treatment for PTSD can sometimes involve years of therapy, conservatively assuming monthly sessions (it’s not unusual for them to be every two weeks for serious cases) that’s well going to quickly rival the cost of any private/underground services…

The biggest problem here is that the treatment will remain fringe for longer, get less research money, and people suffering with PTSD will continue to suffer…
> Scientists are divided over whether the problems with the paper undermine the dominant, yet controversial, theory that beta-amyloid plaques are a root cause of Alzheimer’s disease.

How could it not at least be a wake up call that studies that use this paper as a base could be fundamentally flawed?
What part of the question or the premis stipulated that the eardrums are in vacuum? Who cares if the eardrums of a dead human vibrate?

The hull and all other parts of the ship or suit around the eardrums would all also vibrate.
Karen Ashe attended Harvard for both her undergrad and MD. With all the academic fraud committed by Harvard connected people that has come to light in the past few years, one really has to wonder what is up with that institution (and higher ed more generally).
Yes, every journal in the world will happily accept "research as a leisure activity" if your paper is high enough quality. The quality bar is somewhat higher than if you are in the academic-industrial complex (like it or not, people can recognize authors by writing style even on blind review), but you are able to do and get through peer review as an independent researcher.

Be prepared to be underwhelmed if you are doing it for the publication, though. Most published papers don't lead to anything. Do the research for fun, and publish to share your results. Actually, if you are a small "research for fun" shop, you can target tier 2 journals and conferences, and you will run into an enthusiastic community of people in your subfield.

Of course, this depends on knowing how to do new research, write research papers, and talk to peer reviewers. That is the bigger barrier to entry.

Then “a lot of people” (lol) shouldn’t complain when they piss someone off when someone already warned them
If you're still using Adobe's products, stop. Better late than never. Adobe had some great products. Then they over charged for them. Then they required a "cloud" subscription. There are alternatives. Support one of the startups or open source projects that are competing with them. Don't give Adobe another cent.
In fifteen years I’ve only seen agile done well twice.

I mostly agree it has become a failure.

I think the measurements of success become suspect as a project grows in size and complexity.

A better way to succeed regardless of pm method is making sure you reduce complexity and scope of any given project.
My home directory is much cleaner because I've made a concerted effort to keep it that way, in a couple of cases even recompiling software. I found this much more difficult on Linux.
Is 50% based on analysis and projections, or is this just another CEO sticking a finger in the air, banging a drum and willing it?

Don't they realize they completely lose credibility when they do this? I guess by this stage they're so wrapped up in their own importance maybe not.
> Not like - python/pip rust/cargo dotnet/nuget javascript/npm java/maven - because with each such different language specific build layer you lose how to express depedencies between them.

Its funny you highlight this as a feature, because my #1 piece of feedback for the bazel ecosystem is that it really sucks to have to give up language-native tools. Whether it's LSP servers, documentation that says "add this to your gradle file", "add this to your build.sbt", it's always an uphill battle.

And then it's an uphill battle convincing product engineers to forget everything they know, do it the bazel way instead.

I get why bazel is cool, but I think it's worth highlighting that for a lot of folks it very well can make their inner development loop worse than without it, particularly if they don't have someone (or several people) dedicated solely to developer experience.
In the United States, isn't this called Private Equity?
> The power of Lisp really boils down to the personal experience of having a connected REPL.

Yes, and it's a lot more than just typing in one liners (as the person below suggests). For instance, in standard C you can't redefine functions/procedures at runtime (e.g., to add debugging code, or even switch to an updated version in a running system without requiring a restart). Some of the more modern languages have that facility, but it's rarely as elegant as it is in Lisps. It's a consequence of functions/procedures being first class values, and is really hard to do (or do well) in any language where they aren't.
Featherstonehaugh: See Wodehouse's character Ukridge -

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanley_Featherstonehaugh_Ukri...

There's also https://www.cntraveler.com/story/youre-probably-pronouncing-...

"...You could try hundreds of pronunciations of "Cholmondeley" (in Cheshire) before hitting on "chumley," and the sixteen-letter "Featherstonhaugh" (in Northumberland) drops more than half its weight to become "fanshaw."..."

etc.
The explanation not being possible without referencing the concept of time is not the same as time itself being a prerequisite as opposed to a product of the oscillation.

Time is a kantian a priori for us, so we can reference nothing without the concept of time anyway. Our experience of time, and our concept of time, is not the same as time.

Similar to how we can say (and some physics theories do) that the universe is a holographic set of static object where everything exists at once, and time and movement is just an illusion of our perception (like the colors we see is an mental thing, and the raw fact is "just" electromagnetic radiation).

In that case oscillation can be a property/structure of things in this static "all moments exist timeless at once", but for us it's still appears as movement in time, and when we describe it we only have this intuitive perception of it.

In general, don't try to beat down advanced physics, QM, etc with appeals to "common sense" logic, it's only merely better than "if Earth is round why don't those in the bottom part fall off".
Chromebooks are the proof by contradiction that you’re wrong.
Wow! I didn't expect the simple circular design, but it's so apt and clean. I just finished watching the Dieter Rams documentary, and this seems to follow his key principles well.
Well, I don't think much of your understanding of economics either. 62% labor participation rate is massively different from 38% slack. Not all of those 38% are available to work. Far from it. We might have 5% slack. Pessimistically, 3%.

So back to the original point: No, we can't produce all that hardware, even if your vision of the payback is real.

Now, if it's not real, then you just upended the entire economy, caused inflation, wasted a huge amount of resources and time, all to chase an illusion.

Look, I know you believe the payoff is there. I don't. In reality, the probability has to be something less than 100% (and something more than 0%). And politically, nobody cares what either you nor I think. They only care what the population as a whole thinks, and the population as a whole does not thing that we should harness the entire global economy to chase this. So in practice, you're left with what a company can do. And, to return to my point several comments ago, a company can't do a $100 trillion cluster, and won't be able to.
were the business/marketing/etc people using docs too? At my last job, those people had office
If Baidu's numbers are to be believed, Baidu Apollo is indeed much larger, with over 5M rides in 2024 YTD:

“ Sound waves from military submarine sonar systems can get as loud as 235 decibels. They are able to travel hundreds of miles and can maintain the intensity of 140 decibels as far as 300 miles from the source.”

AI Builders: What Are Your Favorite Libraries and Frameworks?
I've been gathering insights from AI developers on the essential tools and frameworks they rely on for their projects. I'd love to hear from the Hacker News community too—what are your go-to AI tools and frameworks? For reference, some of my favorites include AI SDK with Generative UI support, pgvector, LangChain, and Streamlit.

I was an moderator in very early days.

Afaik, this is the policy since day one.
It was aimed to be a FAQ site -- not just a question-answer site.. That's why it have community answer, allow the same poster answering his own question, encourage duping, allow other people to update/correct an existing answer,etc.

Back in those days:

1) Moderator knew the subject.

2) Most questions are "frequent" enough to qualify as FAQ.

3) When duped, the old answer is less likely to be outdated (because the site was new)
Graffiti was very, very good, and unlike Newton used a lot of simplified gestures for letters rather than trying to transcribe handwriting, but the acme was Swype, which was bought and killed. There is nothing on its level to this day.
I have contributed to and written 4 papers "for fun," and have another one going through review. GP seems to want to do it for the prestige marker (the publication), but that publication on its own is kind of worthless. The quality and enjoyment of the research is what matters.
Apple's wet dream is to have AAA games land in the Apple App Store - not on Steam or Epic Game store.

This is implied already when I said Apple wants the AAA game to be on iPhone and iPad. By definition, the game has to be on the App Store.
