I am a Sr. Software Engineer & Web-developer primarily working with Python frameworks. I am comfortable wearing many hats, and have worked through small to large sized projects for different sized clients (small to enterprise), building tech both on the Back & Front-end as well as Infra. In my free time I am currently primarily working on LLM related side projects, where I am creating, chat and voice bots, and also experimenting with vision, as well as training some local models.
My last two years of high school were entirely about university entrance preparation. For someone who didn't plan to go to university, those years were of no value whatsoever.

Railway | Full-stack Engineering (Product), and Platform Engineering (Infra) | REMOTE (International) | https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/Railway?utm_source=DayMzWzJ0P

Tired of trying to beat kube into shape? Does writing YAML to ship code fill you with utter dread? Dream of a future where deploying software is simple, and you don't need an army of infrastructure engineers to build that perfect janky bash script™ to make life easy?

We're Railway, and we think infrastructure can be better. So far we've built out a platform loved by hundreds of thousands of users who simply tell us "Give me Postgres", "Deploy this repo", and we make it happen

Fair warning! The problems are complex: home-rolled hypervisors, cut-above container orchestration, over/under/whateverlay networks, virtio device drivers, edge proxies, IAM that doesn't suck, kitchen sinks - we need to build it and we're looking for likeminded individuals who think this stuff is fun.

Two open roles (apply below!):

Please reach out to jeswin@credcore.com
Or it should be easier to supply an expected certificate

Nearly all the time, the tool doesn't accept the certificate format or it wants a chain instead of just the root because the other side doesn't supply a chain or the CA bundle doesn't match the CA you used or it doesn't use the CA system at all or the fingerprint format is the wrong hash or it wants a file instead of just a command-line fingerprint or there isn't an "at least do TOFU" flag so for testing you resort to "okay then just accept everything"... it's very rarely smooth sailing from the point of "okay I'm ssh'd into the server, now what do I run here to give this tool something it can use to verify the connection"

Makes me think of how hard PGP is considered to be. Perhaps key distribution in any asynchronous cryptographic system is simply hard
Thanks for the comment. I totally understand email is not something one should build themselves. But, the greater question is why do "selected" players get to define rules instead of keeping internet free?

Our emails go through all providers and land in inbox except when they are fronted by proofpoint.
Nice! The graphics on here are amazing! What engine/libraries did you use??

And as far as making it interesting, seems you went the graphics route. I sacrificed that and doubled down on extraneous mechanics. Hopefully it's working now so you can see the perk shop in action
I think the term of art is currently concepts of a plan.
My frustration was with the totality of comments in the thread, not yours exclusively. I'd have no problem with any one reply in this thread, on its own. Apologies if I came across as rude.

There's nothing in a comment thread so cringeworthy and boring as a person trumpeting their own expertise, so I'll refrain, and leave off here.
I can't find the reference but another article I read asserted the higher cooking temperature made a better texture of potato.
Do you drink any caffeine?
It’s more like Apple fronts the cash for TSMC’s latest node. But regardless, in what way does that detract from their chips being class-leading at release?
I also think direct sockets can be helpful. (Note: I did not read the article because it does not work on my computer.)

Another use would be for extensions (rather than web pages) to implement other protocols (which is related to item 2 in your list, but different).

However, I think that many of these things shouldn't need to use a web browser at all. A web browser is a complicated software and using other software would be better if you are able to do so.

This includes ping, traceroute, etc, which can already be handled by other programs (and can be used even if you do not have a web browser installed); but these things may be useful on Chromebook, perhaps; or if you have Chrome 131 but cannot use other software for some reason.

For example, a service could be available by some other protocols (e.g. IRC), but also provide a web interface; this can then be one of the implementations of the protocol, so that if the web interface is compatible with your computer but the other provided implementations are not compatible (e.g. because you do not have a suitable operating system, or because you don't want to install extra software but you already have Chrome, etc), then it provides an additional interoperability, without needing too much additional complexity.

Handling security is necessary, although there are ways to make it securely: Ask the user first to allow it, and allow the user to configure proxies and restrictions on the use (e.g. if it can only access specific addresses or cannot access specific addresses, or to allow or disallow specific port numbers, etc). (If a SOCKS proxy with localhost can be configured, then the user can use separate software to handle this; the web browser will just need to ensure that it is possible to be configured to not block anything, in case the user is configuring it like this in order to implement their own blocking rules.)

A server's web pages should ideally include documentation as well, which allows you to find documentation and use other software (or write your own), if you do not have a compatible web browser or if you do not wish to use the web interface.

So, I think that it is helpful, although there are some considerations. (The one about documentation is not really one that the authors of web browsers could easily enforce, and is the kind of problem that many web pages already have anyways, and this can't help.)
Nope in all accounts, I'm afraid.

But, in summary, it was grinding, grinding, and more grinding, with large dollops of impostor syndrome on top of it.

Met lots of nice smart people, but none were as impressive as the folks at NVidia. I was not worthy of being there.
It runs but has always felt lumpy to me.
It is impressive but it is also important to remember that Intel, AMD, and Qualcomm make dozens of different chips while Apple makes a handfull. That means they can't be as focused as Apple.
Intel chips had better integer performance and PowerPC chips had better floating point performance, which is why Apple always used Photoshop performance tests to compare the two platforms.

Apple adopted Intel chips only after Intel replaced the Pentium 4 with the much cooler running Core Solo and Core Duo chips, which were more suitable for laptops.

Apple dropped Intel for ARM for the exact same reason. The Intel chips ran too hot for laptops, and the promised improvements never shipped.
Also interesting that you weren't able to answer the question.
Nvidia’s success is due to a decade+ of investment into their software stack (CUDA and friends), built on a world view that more software can and should be massively parallel.

They were a key cause for LLMs being a thing in the first place.

Hi, I'm Andrew Trettel. I'm a scientist with a PhD in mechanical engineering looking for any potential opportunities outside of academia. I have over a decade of experience in scientific research, especially on the numerical side. I have years of experience in writing software for and running large simulations on high-performance computing (HPC) systems. I have also developed software for non-scientific purposes, like creating user interfaces for desktop applications. I have years of experience working with large datasets, including the tasks of calculating statistics and developing hypotheses/models/theories from data. I've worn many hats over the years and love learning new and interesting topics.

Seasoning cast iron has been rather easy, and you can get preseasoned pans as well. My method is: scrub a new (unseasoned) pan well with hot water and a brillo pad, being sure to thoroughly get into any grooves. This is to remove the wax coating present on some pans and to clean any potential surface rust. From there I preheat my oven to 450°F/230°C with my pan inside, this helps drive off any remaining moisture. Once its to temp I pull the pan out and give it a thin coating of flaxseed oil before putting it in the oven upside down for 30min. I do this 6 times, flipping the pan each time, but really 3-4 times is enough. And any fat is also good, I simply prefer flax because it has the best polymerization, which is a debatable quality. I’m just excessive and cast iron collection is a bit of a hobby. After the initial seasoning all you need to do is store your pans in a thin layer of oil if you won’t use them for long period, but even that isn’t a real problem for properly seasoned pans. I’ve never had a pan I seasoned rust.

As for what you’re missing: nothing for cooking smaller foods, but it is unmatched for baking and frying. I’ve found it to be a lot more capable in keeping oil temps consistent and giving good crusts to pan pizzas and cornbreads. So if deep dish pizzas, breads, seared/fried meats and veggies, and huevos ahogados sound good I’d definitely recommend having at least one 10-12” pan around.

I don't see how this does that, or is a step towards that. Help me see it?

Don't you have to have leverage to revolt? How do you revolt after you've been laid off? I don't understand this column. They're laying off because they've vastly overhired, and if they laid off too much (while everyone else was also laying off), they'll be able to pick people back up at a huge discount.

If programmers wanted to force companies to maintain wildly irrational staffing levels, they should have unionized a decade and a half ago when they had the leverage. There are too many programmers, now. Current innovation is high-level and academic, and maybe 2% of the people posting on HN are educated enough to ride the bleeding edge of that.

I've tried to chase down the literature on the genetic basis for DSPS. It's still a developing field, but there have been some compelling studies that are narrowing down gene loci for night-owls.

Perhaps nearly all magazines are in decline (RIP Popular Science, National Geographic etc.), but I still wish that whatever happened to Scientific American hadn't happened to it.
The friends & family payment method in PayPal is risky to send money, cause there's no chargebacks or fraud prevention.

You had roast potatoes.

I won't tell you how to make Buffalo wings or Chicago pizza.
Lol yes exactly like this. Tides have turned eh? The American elite are doing a very good job of distracting the public from problems at home.

They get people riled up about Taiwan or Ukraine, meanwhile the education system, the housing supply, job market, healthcare system, etc... are all in shambles.

Americans don't even question it anymore! It's now fair that housing should be >=40% of your wage. It's fair that companies that are propped up by the American people can screw over those same people.

But when you see how modern and lively China is and how they live, compared to the crumbling, old United States... oh boy. Strange how they can afford it but we, the supposed 'richest country in the world', can't.
> spread misinformation?

Yes, several state-run and private media organizations operate without profits or at a loss in order to spread misinformation.

> which major media operations are operating at a loss how for the public good (discounting state run) and how?

Sorry, I was unable to properly understand your question.

In any case, I never said the organizations that are not primarily concerned with chasing profits are “major” ones. I believe that applies best to lesser-well-known entities, like those who live on social media or the blogosphere. Though there are some instances of major state-run companies, even on TV and on the radio, that operate in a similar fashion.

Also, I am surely not equating the spread of misinformation with serving the public good — these are just distinct objectives that may be sought by media organizations, rather than avoiding bankruptcy.
If I want to send money to someone I trust, I'd ask for their IBAN and do a bank transfer. Now, that cannot be reversed, so I really would have to trust them.

(Also, I'm assuming that both bank accounts are in SEPA countries, or at the very least countries which use IBAN, because in my life, that's likely to be true.)
Sleep is like drinking water. No one says, "I'm gonna get dehydrated right now and then drink a lot more water later so it's OK." But people do this for sleep. You need to sleep right when you're tired, because being tired is a stress that will need more time to heal the longer it goes. Sleep timing is underrated but it is just as important as quality and amount.
As one example, the Chicago NPR affiliate, WBEZ, acquired the Chicago Sun-Times as what was widely described as a "no-cash" deal.[1] A rather more truthful description is that WBEZ was paid $61 million (largely through philanthropic support) to take over a long-ailing newspaper, as described by the city's other long-ailing paper, the Chicago Tribune:

"Chicago Sun-Times becomes nonprofit newspaper with $61 million in backing as WBEZ merger closes"

<https://www.chicagotribune.com/2022/01/31/chicago-sun-times-...>

Of newspapers operating at a loss or as philanthropies, there are the Baltimore Banner,[2] The Guardian,[3] and ProPublica,[4] which all operate as non-profits, relying on a mix of advertising, subscriptions, and philanthropy. The privately-held, for-profit Washington Post is a for-profit paper that's operated at a loss for years, and this before losing ~10% of its subscribers due to recent editorial decisions.[4][5]

There are numerous propaganda institutions (usually labeled as "think tanks") promulgating various ideologies or interests, with the Atlas Network being amongst the largest and most influential:

If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't, even though it allowed me to retire early.
Even the screening rates in the U.S. would skyrocket. Who doesn't know someone who's put off a colonoscopy? They're really not that bad once you get the hang of them (even the prep), but most people don't do them often enough to get good at them, so they dread them more than is really necessary.

As someone who's had enough of them to have a favorite flavor of prep solution (lemon gavilyte-c, which tastes to me like a very mild lemon meringue), a couple tips:

1. Mix the solution with HOT water 12 hours before you need to drink it, and then refrigerate for the 12 hours. This way it doesn't taste salty.

2. For your "clear liquid" diet, drink bone broth with avocado oil in it, alternating with some coconut water. Get some protein and fat calories in you so you're not starving and not spiking your blood sugar all over the place. If I add 50% to my regular calorie intake, I'm not even really noticeably hungry.
Sounds like a cool and novel idea. But I can imagine this becoming a remote version of that knock-door-and-run game - ding dong dash!

Wish you the best with it though. Could catch on
Isn’t carbon steel more maintenance heavy than cast iron? I was always told that you always need to coat carbon steel after use otherwise it will oxidize, while cast iron has a protective polymerized coating that helps it to resist that naturally, and in my experience this has held true where CS equipment oxidizes readily (and stains from acids) while cast iron has more leeway due to the initial coating.
NP++ and Mobaxterm are only two programs that I dearly miss after moving to mac.
The G5 in desktops was more competitive but laptops were stuck on G4s that were pretty easy to beat by lots of things in the Windows world by the time of the Intel switch. And Photoshop was largely about vectorized instructions, as I recall, not just general purpose floating point.
