Email: nathankerr@gmail.com

Web developer for over 10 years with an emphasis on leading front-end development using React, Typescript, etc.

Very quick learner and have passing interest in most computer things.

Particularly love solving complex problems using simple solutions.

Authorized to work in US without sponsorship.
By 5 years, I mean 3 years on your degree, and 2 years of a visa afterwards, so for three years you would be a student in student accommodation, and for the following 2 years you have a visa and so presumably can work and live somewhere legally.
The engine only copied pixels from fast main RAM to slow VGA RAM when they changed value, so using flat shading for most of the objects was a necessity for performance. IIRC all of the planes used Gouraud shading.

> The N100 keeps 56°C under light load

Thats somewhat surprising. I have an old 14nm Celeron I use as a home server and under typical usage it is a few degrees above ambient. Checking now it is 26C. There is no fan, and it just has whatever tiny stock heatsink it came with.

I wonder why N100 is running so hot for you.
I just spent a month in China and the disparity between what we are told in western media and what is actually going on is substantial, but not in the ways I expected.

I always tell people on Hacker News to just book a flight to Shenzhen. Just go. They'll be completely safe there - probably even safer than where they come from. They can go see China for themselves, instead of through western media.

The vast majority of people on Hacker News have drank so much "China bad" propaganda that they're even afraid of visiting.
Different mindset.

BonBook is targeted at travelers solving logistics problems who make lots of repeatable decisions and fly often (eg. need to be in X at Y).

No saying what can be done with time.
Interesting! Now that you mention it, I did buy a .luxury domain for this purpose - a Gemini server. I also bought a .ski to have a domain with my (polish) last name.
Interesting, why should people pay for the Kagi API ($0.025/search) instead of using Mojeek's API ($0.001/search) directly?
How is the US Government keeping people poor? There are so many programs that provide financial or medical assistance to low income households.
The South marching north would force China into the conflict and the West would very tentitatively stand by while South Koreans were being fed into a meat grinder. Should South Korea manage to unify North & South it would bankrupt them.

The North marching South would get little to no support from their allies and would be repelled rapidly before returning to the current status quo.

So yes, I am sure. Neither sides allies have any desire to be the agressor. Not to mention that simply starting a war to cling on to power might be the stupidest reason there is to start a war.

Good for his benefit, also very good for theirs, too.

Okay, but I thought the whole point of VMs was to be OS agnostic? :)

I should be able to run all OS on a VM platform. :) Right? :) What is the friggin point.

Looking at the docs I'm not sure what functionality that adds over git. It seems like just a GUI, no extra abstractions for the complicated operations. E.g. modifying older commits[1] still looks to require manually branching, resetting, making the modification, rebasing/cherry-picking from the previous branch, fixing any conflicts, and then deleting the previous branch. That's pretty shitty for a wrapper, it should just be "right click the commit, click modify, make edits, resolve any conflicts". The porcelain shouldn't expose the plumbing so much!

The implication that gTLDs are bad and new ones shouldn't be introduced because of this is a bit silly to me. The argument that they somehow have lower registration requirements makes no sense, .shop .top and .xyz registrations involve the exact same amount of verification as .com (none). Prices aren't really that different and plenty of gTLDs are more expensive than traditional ones.

Registering a domain is frustrating these days, too many already taken and a lot of them by squatters not even intending to use it. I'd love to see more options personally even if it makes it slightly easier to create a phishing domain. We need better tools than memorizing a domain name to deal with that anyways.
I've been thinking about ways to emulate what Designjoy does and do development on a subscription basis and I really like your Fractional Developer Plan as a potential approach.

When you start working in a new language, the best thing to do is to get a book and familiarize yourself with any constructs or patterns you are not familiar with. Expecting things to be similar to what you’re used to (which lower the learning curve) is a fool’s errand.

There is a price you have to pay to make a whole new planet your own. The choice of accessible celestial bodies is scarce, to say the least. A long-term colony, and by this a mean centuries and many locally born generations, will certainly uncover a large bunch of problems, and develop a number of adaptations, possibly including eventual genetic changes.

1. The article outright states that hes not pissed at Apple for 'only' supporting the phone for 6 years.

I read that criticism as aimed at the software developers withdrawing support for older OS versions.

I read the article more as a lament, rather than angry or annoyed. The author had a perfectly usable phone that he was forced from due to external factors, and the replacement doesn't improve upon its predecessor.

Rewriting history on main is bad. Rewriting history everywhere else is completely normal and should be encouraged. I don't want your "oops typo LOL" commits in main. I don't want a history that looks like "refactor stuff"->"new feature"->"1 line change to that thing I refactored". That one line change should go into the old commit. Fix all of that before you merge to main.
It's kind of like a keyboard without LED lights for status, pop up tabs for the angle, and a recessed guide for the USB cable. Would it technically be cheaper without those things? Sure... but it also costs next to nothing to add them. Once a keyboard gets to $10 almost all of the cost is already put into "being the best keyboard for $10".

There are certainly cheaper, <$100 TCO, alternatives to the Pi or N100 PCs... but they are accordingly worse performing. One thing Pi is really good at is having well supported options on the ultra low end. The Pi Zero 2W for $15 - it's crap performance but cheap. The Pi Pico microcontroller starts at $4 if you don't need a full OS (or just need to augment an existing box with GPIO over USB). If you're building a PC out of a Pi it's just not a differentiated option vs an actual PC is all.

Show HN: Open source video calls on a WiFi AP with meshing to the cloud
I'm releasing an early version of a minimal WebRTC SFU video relay server, with the major differentiators being it can easily run on OpenWrt and it has the ability to trunk all tracks to the cloud, and vice versa:

Code: https://github.com/atomirex/umbrella

Demo: https://x.com/atomirex/status/1863956802984984728

* Golang with Pion. Runs on lots of things (including OpenWrt APs, Macs, Linux containers)

* Typescript/React client, with protobuf based signalling, works with Chrome, Firefox and Safari

* "Backhaul" means SFUs can act as clients to other SFUs, and then forward everything they receive

* Reasonably stable, including as you start/stop/start/stop backhauls and participants come and go repeatedly

This is very early days, but you can have four 720P participants on a D-Link AX3200 access point, and it will only use about 25% of the CPU. I should test with more!

If you try it let me know how it goes.

Exactly the fact that info is exploding justifies a search for a solution. A solution as suggested by TS. And maybe this could be solved with the help of ai.
Poetry, like humor, involves the use of the reader's expectations, but is typically most effective when subverting those expectations.

There's a lot of bad poetry in the world that just follows readers' expectations. I should know, I've written some of it. Unfortunately, I'd suspect that most readers' understanding of poetry lacks that crucial element of subversion, and so an LLM – which mostly just spits out the most-probable, most-expected next token – looks like what people think poetry is.

An LLM would not have created the curtal sonnet form, because it would've been too busy following the rules of a Shakespearean or Petrarchan sonnet. Similarly, an LLM wouldn't create something that intentionally breaks the pattern of a form in order to convey a sense of brokenness or out-of-place-ness, because it's too locked in on the most-common-denominator from previous inputs. And yet, many of the most powerful works I've read are the ones that can convey a disjointed feeling on purpose – something an LLM is specifically geared not to do.

Poetry aims for the heart, and catches the mind along the way. An LLM does not have the requisite complex emotional intelligence, and is indeed a pretty poor simulation of emotional intelligence.

Consider Auden's Epitaph on a Tyrant, which is powerful because it is so suddenly shocking, as it describes something that sounds perhaps like an artist or author, until it very suddenly doesn't, on the last line:

Perfection, of a kind, was what he was after,
and the poetry he invented was easy to understand;
he knew human folly like the back of his hand,
and was greatly interested in armies and fleets;
when he laughed, respectable senators burst with laughter,
and when he cried the little children died in the streets.
I think the issue is you can register a known company name on one of these and plenty of people will think it's legit. Companies have to register on all these random domain to protect themselves.

Sigh... This os exactly the curse...

Bad coders leave managers with wrong expectations and saddle us with their smoldering piles of garbage and now we have to convince Mr. Manager why we it's impossible to match Mr. Monkey's pace.

We are literally stuck paying off someone else's debt, and it's soul crushing, because you know Mr. Manager won't understand anything technical, and the true culprit, Mr. Code Monkey is already long gone, and we are the sucker holding the bag, getting blamed for late features and slow delivery.

The life lesson I learned is: don't pickup someone else's code, you'll assume all liability.

Wait, you can just use a unit-less value?

I'm reminded of how people are bad at generating and recognizing truly random patterns. I imagine the famous poets have something in their writing that's an outlier. I wonder if the human-authored poetry looks odd enough to cause problems with our fake detectors, while the mediocre grey goo that AI creates better fits expectations.
> point still stands, if you control the parliament, aren’t you the majority and the other side is the opposition?

In a parliamentary democracy, the governing coalition and opposition are clearly delineated. In a presidential system, a legislature controlled by a party different from the president tends to be referred to as an opposition legislature, e.g. the House is currently in opposition to Biden.
Maybe my logic is choppy but I'm unconvinced that it is useful to use (inexperienced) popular sentiment as a marker of some kind of reference for cultural quality here. The average person has read at most 100 poems; people who really like poetry will be reading quite a bit more, and that experience has relevance in a context such as this. I'm more curious what happens when we look at specifically those humans who engage in substantial, regular engagement with a given artform.

The study is interesting but that the general public enjoy the most statistically calculated, 50% grey inoffensive, unchallenging & formulaic poetry isn't too novel -- I don't much read poetry and I'm sure I'd be voting for the AI also.

Yeah, sorry if I wasn't clear. I 100% agree with definitions, theorems, counterexamples, and proof techniques being incredibly important. Those are the "warm ups" or "scales" or things that need to be repeatedly drilled in my mind before trying to jump into the "game," which, to me, is solving problems.

They’re just talking about interactive rebase, why is that a red flag? At least I work this way, where I make “not so good” commits sometimes, when I know I don’t have a good atomic commit, but want to create a checkin because “something works now”. Then I later use interactive rebase to make the actual atomic commits, with appropriate messages and bodies. Am I was supposed to be perfect on the first pass?

> The comment I responded to hand waved away consuming almost 50% of your pps on heartbeats every 30 seconds as "no big deal".

> The network saturation is just a necessary cost of running such a massive cluster.

I think this actually answers it perfectly.

1. If you are running 1K distributed nodes, you have to understand that means you have some overhead for running such a large cluster. No one is hand waving this away, it's just being acknowledged that this level of complexity has a cost.

2. If heartbeats are almost 50% of your pps, you are trying to use 1Gbe to run a 1K-node cluster. No one would do this in production and no one is claiming you should.

3. If your system can tolerate it, change the heartbeat interval to whatever you want.

4. Don't use distributed Erlang if you don't have to. Erlang/Elixir/Gleam work perfectly fine for non-distributed workloads as do most languages that can't distribute in the first place. But if you do need a distributed system, you are unlikely to find a better way to do it than the BEAM.

Basically, it seems you are taking issue with something that 1) is that way because that's how things work, and 2) is not how anyone would actually use it.
I would actually think that consumers (of domains) benefit more than the registrars, because there is more competition. If I want a specific word as a domain, there are multiple options of TLD for me.
Having used it, no, it doesn't. At least not that I could find. Last tried it about a year ago though, so they might have added it. IIRC it was just pretty graphics over exposed `git` workflows, instead of any higher-level abstractions.
It's a very old house with lots of transitions over the years. Benefits from a few stick vac sweeps now and then but a robot vac wouldn't work well.
Show HN: Shaped – Fine-tuning semantic search on behavioral signal
When OpenAI released Learning Transferable Visual Models From Natural Language Supervision in 2021, it sparked a multimodal semantic search revolution. While the concept wasn’t new, the paper catalyzed a shift in the industry, inspiring a wave of semantic search tools. These advances delivered a leap forward in search quality compared to traditional lexical search, with adopters reporting significant improvements in conversion rates and revenue.

But semantic search alone isn’t the endgame. Productionizing search remains a challenge, and hybrid search—combining keyword precision with semantic depth—is still found in the state-of-the-art for relevancy. The next frontier lies in sophisticated reranking techniques, particularly learning-to-rank (LTR) models. By leveraging behavioral signals and user preferences, these approaches optimize search outcomes far beyond just query relevance, enabling personalized and adaptive experiences. Such models dynamically tailor search results based on historical interactions, user context, and business objectives, balancing relevance, diversity, and fairness. The result? Smarter, more impactful search that drives better user experiences and business outcomes.

We built Shaped on the belief that LTR is the future of content & product discovery, and that includes LTR for search. Taking the benefits of personalization as an example – why should every user get the same results when their needs and behaviors differ?

Shaped is a platform designed to bring AI-native search to the 99%. With an emphasis on easy integration, rapid experimentation, and flexible configurability, developers can deploy advanced search and recommendation systems in less than a sprint.

Here's how it works:

Connect your datastack, including multi-modal item catalog and optional real-time event streams.
Choose your objective (e.g., clicks, new-user activation) using a flexible value-model interface.
By default, Shaped selects the optimal search architecture, including search type and reranking models, however, you can configure all of this manually.
Shaped deploys and orchestrates the infrastructure, models and pipelines needed for a scalable, AI-native search engine with continuous indexing and learning-to-rank model training.
Access a UI for performance monitoring and result exploration.

Check out our demo sandbox at (play.shaped.ai) and try the text query input. We’d love your feedback and thoughts on how to push AI powered search further!
I don't think RPL is tied to any sort of academic grades
This is kind of what I was wondering as somebody who's 99% clueless about Korean politics.

Yoon Suk Yeol claimed he is protecting the country from "shameless pro-North Korean anti-state forces."

Now...

I do not doubt that NK has spies in SK, possibly some in government. I am sure there are some in SK who are happy to get a paycheck from NK to share some info. It's what any oppositional nation state would be trying to achieve.

But as far as literal "pro-North Korean" forces in SK, that seems close to literally impossible to me.

I cannot imagine any significant number of South Koreans looking at North Korea and thinking ooooh yes that is what I want.
As someone who reads poetry regularly and has played around a bit with AI-generated poems, AI poems can be quite impressive, but have a certain blandness to them. I can see them conforming very well to the average person's concept of what a poem is, whereas the human written poems might be less pleasingly perfect and average, more stylistically and structurally experimental etc. The LLM version is less likely to play with the rules and expectations for the medium, and more likely to produce something average and "correct", which makes some intuitive sense given the way it works.
Hah, great! Thanks for doing what I was too lazy to do :)

It's interesting to me how Moses, per Caro, moved from being idealistic to being pragmatic in ways that look like corruption to those outside the 'bubble' but look like appropriate means and measures for accomplishing one's goals if you're inside the bubble.

He came to be in possession of a great many opportunities to build, and so, to spend money, and he, using these opportunities and the money flow, over time, built a political machine for doing so in a way that benefited those who helped him, and punished those who didn't.

I know some people who understand x86 [0] very well. Most of them do not work at Intel. Those that do tend to be on the OSS side and don’t really have any sway in the parts of Intel that design new hardware.

And this is a problem! Most of Intel’s recent major architectural changes over the last decade or so have been flops. [1] Quite a few have been reverted, often even after they ship. I presume that Intel does not actually have many people who are really qualified to work on the architecture.

[0] I’m talking about how it interacts with an OS and how you put it together into a working system. Understand stuff like SIMD is a different thing.

[1] AVX and its successors are notable exceptions, but they still have issues, and Intel did not really rock the early implementations.
The people who would fall for that would probably also fall for `dell.computerdealshop.com` though
Another way to describe this study is "AI still not able to create poetry humans view as authentic human poetry"
