[The article is concerned with a kind of philosophy of software existence. As a pragmatist (programmer), I'm more interested in addressing the first question concretely, as it pertains to what HackerNews is mostly focused on.]

After decades of loving the craft of crafting ever larger software systems, I've settled down to this description of what we devs actually produce:

Our fundamental spacial unit is "Information Representation". Yeah, that means data with its explicit semantics supplied by a type system. Whether amorphous (Python) or mostly concrete (C/C++) or whatever else, those are the bricks we use to construct our systems, because that is what our microprocessors are actually manipulating, by hook or crook.

What our software does temporally is to "Integrate" that data. Sometimes, it's character values coming in as input, with command-line functionality as output -- e.g. OS command-line commands. Sometimes, it's web-service requests coming in, and db accesses going out, with a lot of semi-permanent state being held in session data somewhere and a mostly-permanent database data somewhere. Regardless, the {input, state, output} is the spacial dimension being integrated in our logic. And note that "in and out" are the same as "call and response" in this description; the real idea is "How does the data flow, and what is the source, and where are the destinations?"

Of course, there are different temporal dimensions to our dev work: design-time, test-time, build-time, deploy-time, run-time. Each project has its own needs, so, just like advanced maths, we combine our integrations hierarchically to build up the entire system.

The coup de grace is the overarching notion, the "Engine".

Before real-world engines are used, they are designed, tested/verified, and planned for being assembled in production.

Once constructed, engines are prepared, tested, delivered, started, run while being manipulated/tweaked, and then they finish either by choice for maintenance or because their task is finished or because they failed. That's the cycle of use.

It doesn't look like our industry is very mature in how it approaches software systems as engines, especially with respect to maintenance. It would help if we understood that the fundamental unit of time is change, which is all that ever matters in the entire universe, but most especially in our software systems.
It really gets in the way after the first playthrough and it gets especially problematic if some rules are only explained in that section.
Good software that you use every day isn’t worth less than a cup of coffee for you? That’s fine, don’t buy it. Good UIs take time and skill to build. Should this student just do this for free? iOS users have money for software they use — $2/mo is perfectly reasonable.
> Most N100 are noisier, hotter

I went from a passively cooled RPi5 to a N100. The RPi idled at around 50°C and throttled under load. The N100 keeps 56°C under light load (the heaviest things are rtl_433, grafana, nextcloud). To keep it from throttling in heavy load I zip tied a small Noctua NF-A4x20 to the side of the case over the passive heatsink and adjusted the fan curve to only run at above 60°C. This works super well, the N100 doesn't get hotter than about 62°C under full load and the fan spins slow enough that I can't hear it at all even if I put my ear directly next to it.
⍃Kalvium, Bangalore, India (onsite in HSR Layout). Internships, SWE2, Sr.SWE.

Hi folks, I'm hiring in the engineering team at Kalvium across SDE2 to Lead levels. We are building the google-maps of education - the only edtech where we bring a focused, standardized, digital approach to CS higher education. I speak about this on this podcast (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=be1yEJbyEkQ).

At the entry level, we only have final year internships (9-12 months) + PPO for students who are graduating in 2025. We index heavily on prior project/open source work for this role.

Here's 3 cool things we've done:

1. 100% AI based evaluators in B.Tech CS 4 year program.

2. Measuring and improving each one of the 4000 hours of the program in the classroom.

2. Launched our full-fledged program in 20+ universities in India, where students are placed from 3rd semester onwards. This year we've had more premium universities signup: SRM, VIT, Christ, etc.

3. Solid business fundamentals - sustainability in every classroom with our revenue.

To align you to our approach: we seek out engineers who want to involve with this problem statements. Edtech v1.0 in India does not have a good rep (tell me about it!), but the problem statements remains: higher education system is broken, and not giving students the outcomes they are capable of (Here's the outcomes we deliver - https://kalvium.com/hire-from-us/).

Our main realization is: we can't rely on people to drive a significant change, rather it has to be a system which builds and uplifts skills in students. That's what we've built and launched in above universities (https://kalvium.com/heros/). We have a 12 year roadmap! it's a blue ocean, and we want to build and lead Edtech V2.0.

Note on team culture/equity: We plan on being a small core team that geeks out on learning and platform-izing it! Our pay is commensurate to experience with meaningful equity. We plan for a 4 year path of growth for every individual in our team. If this sounds like a meaningful challenge and place to build your career, please reach out to me via anil@kalvium.com with your resume.

Your "better" approach still throws out two thirds of my original comment. I'm not convinced.

Also I don't think the article covers the groundwork well enough to make the perspective interesting. Interesting is where it could get with further work, not where it is now.

Show HN: An extension for mindful YouTube usage
Hey everyone,

I want to share with y'all my passion project - countering mindless scrolling / browsing on YouTube. I have built, what I think, is one of the best mindful YouTube browser extensions out there.

There are many tools out there for this but I think they're all just surface level blockers vs. a real adaptive solution.

There are so many more features I wanna add but I also want to hear what you all think of it. Request you to please try it out and let me know :)
The issue is that they are overselling it. It's not a world, it's a 3D image at best.

I particularly love the following quotes from "Chaos Monkeys." This is "The Social Network" level of commentary:

If it works on a Pi, wouldn't this make sense to also implement with DDR5? Or is it already there? Now that the chips are split into 2x mux of 4x32bit busses with dual rank on dual channel, it would really suck if the data was defragmented in such a way that only one 32 bit bus could access it and only half the time (if my understanding of this is right anyway).

Show HN: Chrome Extension to Save Twitter Videos Easily
Hi HN,

I recently developed a Chrome extension to download videos from Twitter: [TwitterSave Chrome Extension](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/pcemcijpagklnnflfnh...).

I built this because I frequently needed a quick way to save videos from Twitter, and existing tools were often slow or filled with ads. My extension offers a clean and fast experience.

### Key Features:
- One-click video download directly from the tweet.
- Lightweight design.
- Built using JavaScript and hosted via the Chrome Web Store.

I'd love your feedback! Feel free to share any suggestions or ideas for improvement.

I'm a fan of how the rules are structured in Scythe. Initially it seems very complex, but there's an underlying logic to it and you can figure out most of the rules by looking at the special abilities of each player - they each provide an exception to a rule.

I don't relate well to reading rules although I'm quite good at picking up on the "exceptions" to rules e.g. you can only own two twizzles unless you've unlocked the fandangle. What works for me is playing an example round/turn to see how the various mechanisms fit together. One problem I find with game rules is when they introduce a term without the corresponding picture of the card/token etc.
Really? That makes it better? Living in the first world country means you don't make very human mistakes? It means life doesn't get in the way sometimes?

Look, your view seems to be "people in first world countries should be acting how I think they should act, and I just can't imagine myself getting into this situation so that means they can't, and thus I'm going to treat them like they did something wrong".

You don't know the context other people have, so don't judge them.

> But if your definition of “great art” is that it is commercially succesfull then of course what you will find that the “great artist” are all like good businesman.

While the author doesn't explicitly define what is "great", I 100% believed that what it is defined as. That "great" is being commercially successful.

The article is premised around running a non-profit art gallery in a struggling municipality. That he did a good job by "helping grow the revenues"[0]. He needed money for his new baby and couldn't afford to lose a job[1]

It is a modern day art gallery. These things are businesses first - to support their own operations and then to help artist support themselves and their work.

So yes, "great" art IS art that sells.

Now, what sells is highly highly subjective, and a very large part of that sales process is making the customer _feel good_ about their purchase. And I think this is where you disagree - that there is a higher, objective reality around good vs great art. And for so much art, there really isn't.

Can you identify some of the most significant negative consequences of colonization that remain today? Things that wouldn't have happened if those people had engaged in global trade themselves while still being self-governing. As I understood it, the legacies were mostly good - especially government institutions and united nationhood instead of separate enemy tribes.

The claim is around failing fair-use by a substantial portion of the work redistributed for commercial gain at the expense of the rights holder.

The "trained on" isn't the law being broken here, that's the scare campaign. If it wins it's just the smoking gun that helps prove the other points easier, you'll still be able to train on anything.

But if the portion of some work thought to be there is not actually in the final product (prompt engineering a reproduction by detailed description shouldn't count as that is tracing with words) and it's just some style mix (as most AI engineer's say) then I don't think anything will come of this.
