Railway | Full-stack Engineering (Product), Platform Engineering (Infra), Developer Relations, and Solutions Architect | 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.

Not really. You could divide by the subtraction result of two positive integers.
Urban planning in the US was a result of the oil lobby. It has nothing to do with the demands of residents except insofar as they were also brainwashed by the oil lobby.
Right but the point is that these people could never give back because they have no money. So, it's literally giving them a lot of money.
This is a common cliche in the hipster coffee community. The truth is darker roasts change the acid profile of coffee, and many people prefer that taste. To them, drinking a "good" coffee is like drinking a "bad" coffee with a lemon squeezed into it.
> cannot be pinned on consumer choices. Which is why it would never become the locus of attention.

Can you explain your reasoning here? I think you are saying that we focus all of our environmental action through the lens of consumer choice, which is something that I also think is true.

We can encourage the public to make better individual choices, but a far better approach is to change the system so that the default choice is the best choice.

But when it comes to phones, a lot of the policy action seems to be set on forcing companies to behave in a certain way, which IMHO is perfectly cromulent if the environmental payoff is proprotionate to the effort.

My focus has been on changing the attitudes towards policy changes that broaden the choices of individuals, to allow them to even choose a better path that is not currently available, because urban planning has banned walkable neighborhoods in nearly every part of every city.
No, they didn't. Facebook was just a less trashy, more exclusive version of myspace when it came out. Geocities, livejournal, blogger etc. were earlier iterations on the same concept - personal websites for non-techies. The only thing new about Facebook was their relative success in signing up a broader userbase, which was probably just a right-place, right-time thing of being around when computers and high-speed internet were becoming cheap and ubiquitous rather than anything different about what they were doing.
In both religion and TTRPGs every once in a while someone says lets throw away all those supplements and get back to the original. Some of them then add supplements (either their own new ones, or the old ones) back as they realize something they want to change/clarify.

You of course should pick exactly the same stance on the above as I do. But like any true gentleman I never tell you my stance is.
My understanding is that most of the complaints about Vista being unstable came from the nvidia driver being rather awful [1]. You were likely to either have a system that couldn't actually run Vista or have one that crashed all the time, unless you were lucky enough to have an ATI GPU.

It just sounds vaguely prophetic like he thinks he knows how every person will behave for the foreseeable future.

Physically implementing that wouldn't be too hard.

IANAL, to judge how difficult all the legal & regulatory & procedural changes (needed to do that) might be.

Nor the USPS's level of interest in implementing such a thing.
I don't think this is exactly what you're talking about, but thought I'd drop a hint for anyone struggling with twilight driving:

Use your visor to block out the sky. It's brighter than the road part of the scene, and it forces your eyes to pick the wrong "exposure." Blocking it helps quite a bit.
yeah. for years, there's "biennial" (every 2 years) vs "biannual" (twice in 1 year).

Thanks for the input!

- Yep, it's annoying to have the current window controls overlayed by the safe area. You can still move it around if you're careful enough, but yes, it's not great.

- The mobile app expects you to download from Github directly for now, because yes, there's no direct file import yet. Not a hard add, but just needs a bit of a different pipe to either copy or access the out of sandbox files.

- Yes, the mobile windowing controls are meant more to allow access to all the demos for now, not for a pretty UI. It's not terrible on iPad since you can use the pencil for more accuracy, but I did have a plan to put the tabbed and sidebar controls back in place for mobile at some point.

- Sorry about the search; if the 'reset' control doesn't do the trick, you might be out of luck for this version. The same fix I need to put in place to work within the current screen's safe area is the same that would keep these windows within viewport. And, ideally, to include a similar 'IDE' view as the desktop to avoid these multi window cases that are inconvenient or broken.

I'll be focusing on a few changes related specifically to mobile UI in the next few builds of this. Touch, for example, has no way to rotate along the y-axis, and there's no way to 'hover' for bookmarking on tap.

Hi HN!

I'm Annie, a CS Turing Scholar looking for spring (Feb-May) software-engineering positions in SF.

As an assembly enthusiast, I'd love to find low-level systems work, but I'm open to anything new and novel to me!

I'd love to deliver zero-to-one features and learn rapidly in a fast-paced autonomous environment.
It's "old news" I guess at this point, but the AI Minecraft demo (every frame generated from the previous frame, no traditional "engine") is still the most impressive thing to me in this space https://oasis.us.decart.ai/welcome There are some interesting "speed runs" people have been doing like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UaVQ5_euw8

We might all be dead in 10 years, but with big tech companies making their plays, all the VC money flowing in to new startups, and nuclear plants being brought online to power the next base model training runs, there's room for a little mild entertainment like these sorts of gimmicks in the next 3 years or so. I doubt anything that comes of it will top even my top 15 video games list though.

Lol
For a man that laments the fall of the Soviet Union, he sure is adamant about repeating their mistakes.
A few years ago a CEO of Intel (not Gelsinger) said something like "our CPU architecture is so well-known every college student can work on it". A friend working at Intel at that time translated it to me: "we will hire cheap students to work on chips and we will let the expensive engineers leave". At least in his department the senior engineers left, they were replaced by fresh graduates. It did not work, that department closed. I have no idea how widespread this was inside Intel, but I saw it in other big companies, in some with my own eyes.
Yes but people talked about it even less than they do today. Back then you could say connecting people is always a good thing and people didn't challenge that openly like we do today.

I find this terribly sad.
It can't be limited to just the oil lobby, it was a general movement with lots of different proponents, not the least the car companies! In fact the car companies quite a bit more. But the urban planning establishment definitely adopted car-only infrastructure with gusto, without any direct oil or car money behind it.
I don't even know if this is fully valid anymore as I haven't reviewed the latest passkey implementations, but it's definitely a fear of mine if passkey becomes the standard.
Technology has lifted a lot of people out of poverty.

Telemedicine reaching remote villages, drone deliveries of medical supplies, mobile phones giving farmers weather forecasts, and even allowing those farmers to find more competitive buyers for their crops.

Even within the US, for the longest time technology was the only field that was not ruled by elites. Any kid who was smart enough could get their hands on a computer somehow, learn to program, and have a career ahead of them. No medical associating limiting applicants, no elitist law firms, no unions only giving membership cards to children of existing members.

A lot of poor kids in the US, myself included, got lifted up by technology.

It's also true that the only known examples of general intelligence are embodied in meat machines. Is this a prerequisite for AGI? Again, we don't know. I think probably not, but some people think it is, and the debate is unresolved.

Similarly, my argument is that it's premature to assume that consciousness is a prerequisite for AGI.

Finally, I don't think there's anything invalid about disagreeing with someone's disagreement, and then stating the reason why. In fact you also did this in response to my comment!
I don't think it is possible to put a branch name into a tree object, not without deep modifications to git, so I suspect your previous company developed a significantly different tool around it.

I guess my first question is, why is this built on IPv4 rather than IPv6...
> Modal has an isolated container runtime that lets us share each host’s CPU and memory between workloads.

Looks like Modal hosts workloads in Containers, not VMs. How do you enforce secure isolation with this design? A single kernel vulnerability could lead to remote execution on the host, impacting all workloads . Am I missing anything?
This is really neat. I imagine this will be an entryway for LLMs to creep into more classic data science / ML workloads.

Democratizing Software
My first thought when I read the title was "but I play lots of new games all the time and I don't find it too difficult to learn the rules". But then I realise - most of the time I find a learn-to-play video on YouTube and rarely learn the rules from the rulebook itself.
Thanks for clearing up the terminology. Good point regarding gas turbines.
I don't think that is true- I build and restore both wooden and fiberglass boats with epoxy, and have used it in almost every possible way. There are different thicknesses of epoxy with different properties, but the ones specially designed for penetrating deeply into wood - such as clear penetrating epoxy sealer will indeed penetrate extremely deep into wood, the manufacturer claims 9-16". In practice, almost any epoxy will penetrate at least 1" into wood.

If anything, epoxy often has too much penetration, and I end up doing a first coat or two that disappear fully into the wood, and another thickened one so it actually stays on the surface or joint.
No matter how you slice it though, not building LLMs doesn't change the underlying equation: you're emitting CO2 to make electricity. Every new human being born once they turn on electric light is. Every new industry. Every bit of economic growth, basically.

Any action which isn't the reduction of CO2 to generate electricity, or elimination, is just a delaying tactic. Even substantial population reduction would buy you what, maybe a few hundred years before atmospheric CO2 hits the same levels again?

There is exactly one problem to solve with anthropogenic climate change and it's CO2 emissions. Any action which isn't directly attacking that issue is a waste of time and political resources, and demonstrably*has been a complete waste of time and effort - every victory was won on the back of superior technology (i.e. efficiency didn't just happen - LEDs happened and they're just plain better and cheaper).

Juniper (YC W21) | Senior Software Engineer | Full-time | HYBRID NYC | juniperplatform.com

Juniper is working to improve the messy financial infrastructure for US Healthcare. We've built an automated end-to-end insurance billing system for recurring care, starting with Autism clinics. It’s a product that clinicians need and love.

We automate and abstract the tedious, manual, repetitive work that goes into the administrative duties of running a clinic, so that clinicians can do what they do best — providing care. It starts with ingesting clinic data, and then create, validates, and submits claims to insurance providers across the country. If claims need corrections or appeals, most of the time we can handle those automatically or our CX and Operations team use our in-house internal tools. We also handle patient invoicing for co-pays, co-insurance, and deductibles (we never send anything to collections).

We are a team of ~40 with strong product market fit. You’ll be working with an engineering leadership team from AWS and Stripe to get clinicians back to work delivering care for kids.

Not sure if this is familiar to you, but Mao is my favorite game that I misunderstand but love nonetheless: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mao_(card_game)

It's surprisingly popular in the American midwest. Every place (or person) has their own variation on it the ruleset, with the only persistent agreed-upon rule that you're not allowed to discuss the rules with anyone. That way, every game is deliberately confusing to veteran players and painfully hostile to new players.

A very fun game to watch, but stressful to play if you want to win.

Jonathan Turley is the name of a prominent American legal scholar and active journalist, and it's very unlikely he would have initiated any kind of "right to be forgotten" proceeding under GDPR or CCPA. I suppose another Jonathan Turley might have done so, in which case this is having undue adverse effect on the more famous Jonathan in order to protect the less famous one ^^
Seems to me like just another example of how ham-fisted our current attempts to censor these models really are.
I remember this. Wish I'd kept my little piece of history. Written at a time when people were still optimistic and hopeful about tech.
I love the manual method and occasionally used it. Basically assuming there is no Internet, just a book and a repo of source code and try to figure out how to do something.

Sadly I'm now so easily burnout that even setting a dev env up can burn me out.
Which (in our group) is perfectly fine. There are several friends who are less financially capable than the rest. Nobody cares. Friendship is much more important than money.
It would be interesting to know the intent and implementation of that.
