5+ years software development experience, mostly working on backend systems at fintechs. Seeking an IC role using the Rust programming language (and other tech as well!)

My previous experience ranges from working in cross-functional teams at larger corps, to being the sole fullstack developer for a startup. Some of the more interesting things I've worked on: an event-driven scheduling service (think dkron), core protocol logic for a blockchain validator in Rust, and complex SQL models for financial pipelines.

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.

Looking for opportunities to work with companies or individuals doing interesting things. I can have overlap with EU or Asian time zones, and I’m open to async work in PST or partial overlap with PST.

I have over 7 years of experience in software. My primary focus has been on infrastructure (working with web hosting companies, multiple Fortune 10 companies, and early to late-stage startups). While my expertise lies in infrastructure, I also build applications[1][2][3], though I don’t do this as often (mostly in my free time or on contract).

Please do mention HN if you get in touch.

Not just that but bandwidth constraints as well. Especially upload bandwidth. I might have 1Gb/s down but I have only like 40Mb/s up.

Even if I could make the device file system sparse and pull what it needs on demand, that stuff still needs to get uploaded initially. And on many internet connections, depending on the user content, it could be a while before the whole thing makes it into the cloud.

> any C-level exec will hold on to the position for dear life until they are forced out

I don't know. Frank Slootman's retirement from Snowflake earlier this year was certainly not celebrated by any significant stakeholders. I'd imagine at some point someone like Frank realizes that they are worth more than Tim Cook, they consider that they're in their mid-60s, and they decide the remaining time they have on earth might be better spent in other ways.

Every person in the workforce, no matter how ambitious or how senior, is forced into the calculus of money and power vs. good years remaining. I expect the rational ones will select the balance point for themselves.

My guess is that it means that the material can be reused by capturing/releasing/sequestering multiple times, and that number reflects how much C02 it can capture given how many cycles can be completed in one year.
Designers seem to prefer other fonts. That seems to be true whether they work for traditional publishers, advertising agencies, news papers, or indeed web agencies. It just does not seem to be a popular choice outside the narrow niche of people who use latex. Who are of course mostly not designers. And having worked with some great designers in recent years, I tend to follow their lead when it comes to making things look good.

But beyond me being conditioned to be bored out of my head reading scientific papers (being an ex-academic who definitely does not miss having to read lots of poorly written papers) written with latex and having that look, I shouldn't have much of an opinion on the matter.

Hi - I'm Mike, a 22-year-old developer who started coding at 12. I've built various side projects but always struggled with marketing due to limited budgets.

So I created Beno — an AI that finds relevant Reddit discussions and generates natural comments to organically promote products.

I've recently added a free option, so you can create a project and try out the basic features without any payment or subscription.

I built Beno in two weeks, thanks to Cursor.

Would love for you to try it out and share your thoughts. Thanks
You're right. Folk work is exempt. (It is so dwarfed by the rest that I simply forgot it.)

Yes, the presentation of the documentation is very good. This is something I miss when I have to switch to other languages.

I also use it to write CLI scripts to exchange data between programs. The wealth of extensions and good UTF-8 support are a plus.
I think Apple Silicon has shown us that x86 doesn't have the monopoly potential it once had.

That would be great.
It's especially true in the unique case of developer tools. Developers should use their own tools (that they're selling) because there's no better way to "test" something than to actually use it daily!

They had ABI breakage when C++11 support was implemented in GCC 5 and that was extremely painful. Honestly, I still wish that they had avoided it.
Depends on your philosophic position on taxonomy. If you wish for it to capture inheritance and lineage, then I agree, but it is equally valid to view it as a relationship of similarities and patterns (similar to design patterns in programming). The lineages may have different origins, but if they converge on a common pattern, why shouldn't they be grouped together? (if it quacks like a duck...)

They are just not very good? There is basically no point in buying the current gen equivalent 14900K with current pricing (the only real advantage is lower power usage).

I just don't see how anyone can see a study comparing the reasoning abilities of various LLMs, see that large LLMs have better reasoning abilities and conclude that LLMs can't reason. LLMs don't have human-like reasoning abilities, but it's just obviously true that they have some capacity for reasoning; that ability seems to scale roughly linearly with model size and training FLOPs.

SEEKING WORK - Contract, Remote, US based, backend engineer

I am a backend expert, having built and maintained highly available systems for several companies over the last 10 years, in addition to over 20 total years of software development experience. I learn new things extremely quickly.

You will like working with me because I:

* hold your goals as my priorities
* communicate verbosely yet synthesize well
* my rates are reasonable in exchange for the value I deliver
* I guarantee I will get the job done

Concrete examples:

* built the streaming data architecture for realtime game player tracking information (all games, 50ms SLA) and game stats for one of the top 3 US sports leagues (can’t name drop!) using Redpanda/Kafka on Azure+Terraform, and implemented its developer portal using Gravitee to provide first class streaming API support and monetization. Also built, deployed and maintained their ask-a-question-get-a-true-answer AI bot to expose 20+ years of stats to natural language fan questions!

* Implemented a vector DB for one of the leading AI image hallucination platforms (millions of users) to provide an image similarity service.

* replatformed dozens of jobs to AWS Lambda for a startup hedge fund, vastly improving QoS and maintenance cost. Line 1 to platform-in-prod time 3 months.

* built a ~50 node, AWS, Dockerized, Terraform-deployed distributed system to provide realtime, transformed trade data from crypto exchanges to a Kafka pipeline and data lake (fodder for an analytics platform). Met 5000msec SLA across arbitrarily many exchanges and ticker symbols. Blue-green deployment for complete CICD safety. Cloudwatch metrics proved SLA was met and provided general system oversight.

* built a framework to collapse dozens of singleton ETL programs into one config-driven, simple C# application performing the same functionality at ~80% reduction in maintenance cost year over year.

A few years, Pat said Intel had internally rebuilt their "Grovian execution Engine". I found those words empty, a far cry from Andy Grove's hard decision to dump memory in favor of microprocessors. Andy Grove's decisions made Intel, Intel, not "execution".

It's unfortunate the situation is beyond almost anyone's grasp but I wonder if Pat should have talked less, and done more.

Ah, so this is not how people doing chemistry refer to different chemical elements in their papers. Given the overall level of imitation, I thought it's that.
You're conflating manipulating with engineering. Communicating with people can be part of a job but it isn't engineering.

You are in a great position to learn.

BTDT (Companies too cheap to hire experience, and I'm pretty smart). I am also a high school dropout with a GED, so...cheap.

In my case, I remained very humble, voraciously ate up all the literature I could, and got my company to send me to many seminars, conferences, and classes. I did a lot of traveling, and learned to be frugal (lots of cheap motels).

I made a lot of mistakes, too. My company was fairly tolerant of that, because ...cheap, and I also had a lot of successes.

"Good judgement comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgment."

You have a marvelous opportunity, here. Stay humble, learn like crazy, and don't be afraid to make sure that your managers know where you're at.

Good luck!
Solving problems (and trying to invent proofs) is indeed the way to enjoy math.
Its not really explained, but in the prequels, the black goo seems to be a biological nano-tech like weaponsystem, that takes a given lifeform, breaks it down and recreates permutations of it that are capable of fast, parasitic replication, longterm stasis and accelerated development towards a better "attack-vector" life-form.

The whole thing is basically the engineer version of a nuke, rendering planets permanently hostile to other life forms and destroying civilizations by transporting the weapon inside its members - and thus following trade-routes.
Incredible, I disagree with just about every point you made. We're not going to make any progress, have a good day.
As far as I know, pruning is related to age. At birth, we have a massive number of silent synapses. As we grow older, those that remain unused (i.e., inactive) tend to disappear. This process involves a delicate mechanism, including components of the immune system.

The unfortunate reality is that no one truly understands how memory works. Many theories are floating around, but the fundamental components remain elusive. One thing is certain: it is quite different from backpropagation. Thankfully, our brains do not suffer from catastrophic forgetting.
