Show HN: I made Tinder, but for side hustlers
Hey HN,

This is DevMarket, a platform connecting technical and non-technical people to work on side projects together.

You swipe right until you find a profile that resonates with you, use tools to evaluate them, and start a project with clear agreements in place.

It’s designed as an end-to-end solution for cofounder matching, and our motivation is to make cofounder finding easy for everyone.

I hope you enjoy it. Would love your feedback

> We've had human shaped robots for decades, but so what ?

They've improved a lot since the ones decades ago. When ASIMO was state of the art, that meant being able to walk on a flat surface and climb stairs.

Now, it's more like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WlUFoZstcWg

(Though again, as this is a sales video, I expect it to be implying more than it can actually do, in the same vein as the Tesla Optimus robot bartenders but not necessarily the same specifics)

> Robots that not only have AGI (running locally, under battery power?!)

Assuming batteries are a must and we can't e.g. use mains, that means the gap between AI reaching the power-performance envelope needed for level 5 self driving cars and the one needed for such robots would be about 5 years. Get the former in x years from now, the latter in x+5 years.

> but also the dexterity, flexibility, etc to match that of a plumber seem a long, long way off

> and would of course require something a lot more advanced that today's LLM based AI

The future existence of a sufficiently more advanced AI is baked into the assumptions in the question at the top of this thread. It's the goal and driving purpose of the field.

Dunno when it comes; if I did, that would make it easier to prepare for.

> would need to have full blown brain-like capabilities, obviously including the mechanisms to learn a craft.

How confident are you about what specifically they need and don't have, and why?

I've seen people confidently say AI would need brain-like capabilities to play Chess, then when Deep Blue beat Kasparov they were saying it about Go, then when AlphaGo beat Lee Sedol they were saying it about natural language and creating pictures, then ChatGPT happened and various Transformer and Diffusion models got so good that collectively they've become a fraud risk.

Based on the observation that LLMs could get up to the level of interns or mid-university students, I suspect we've already got AI capable of learning a craft to that (mediocre) level just by training on all the YouTube DIY videos.

Based on all the sim2real work, I think it's at least plausible (not certain, only plausible) that some mediocre plumber AI bootstrapped by YouTube would also be able to improve substantially in this fashion: https://arxiv.org/search/?query=sim2real&searchtype=all&sour...

I don't think we need to solve, e.g., the question of why humans seem to be able to learn from so much less data than our AI require to reach any given skill level. Likewise, we do we don't need to agree on what "consciousness" is, nor do we need to then give that to the machines.
It can't read PDFs. If you ask it to, it generates code to read the first X characters of the PDF and does a bad job.

9front/plan9 sites have that paper and it's magical and even an HSer would understand it.
So how is it different from: https://www.marscode.com/ ?

Also, anybody knows a decent IDE where AI is a first class citizen? So far my experience with plugins is, that they have too little context to be actually useful.
If users choose to oppose X on Reddit, whether Reddit will take action depends on the specific situation.

`main` is the default entrypoint, with one simple argument to the linker you can change entrypoint symbol to whatever you wish.

You can add `premain` function that calls `main` and set it as an entrypoint, you can implement pre-start logic in main and call main loop later.

This is how any sane program is written anyway: set up environment -> continue with business logic
Right. And the use-case for PINNs is, e.g., modeling a known function that is not solvable analytically?
If the goal here is the show that intellectual curiosity can be had by a discussions on ethics and symbolism, I would recommend reading the comment in the best light possible and find the strongest arguments to talk about. Comments like "Debunks your entire point" does not do that and only closes the discussion. For the purpose of this thread that started with the question of "Why is this flagged", I would like to see if its possible to have that discussion.

The many published ww2 documentaries do indeed shows some variability in the Nazi salute, just like that youtube video you linked. The Wikipedia article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_salute) definition and their linked sources do not include the "hand on heart" part, which may indicate how common different versions are. The added "My heart goes out to you" statement to it is also seems like an very uncommon addition. A question we could ask is what people in the rally interpreted the gesture as in the context of the whole speech. Did they see it as an variable form of the Nazi salute, or did they interpret it as a gesture of gratitude?

Gestures has a natural ambitiousness in them. A person taking a knee in front of a king is different from a person taking a knee in front of a significant other and asking their hand in for marriage. The context and additional variability (like saying "do you want to marry me") changes the meaning of the gesture. In order for it to be one or the other the whole picture, context and gesture, need to align.

If the discussions is about ethics and symbolism we should also look at the ethics part. Political rallies are seemingly about displaying symbols and generating boundaries between in-groups and out-groups. If the gesture was intended to be an ambiguous Nazi salute in order to ignite controversy, we can look at what the consequences are. The in-group feels attacked, while the out-group becomes a threat for which the in-group can rally against. This strengthen the bonds of the in-group. It also increases political violence and instability, with both group "othering" each other. By instantly and publicly distance himself from the others interpretation, there is a gain of presenting themselves as the "true" anti-nazi and friends to Israel, especially now in the context of the current war in Gaza. This kind of political maneuvering is not that uncommon in far left and far right. Political researchers and analysts often remark that this create a problem of actually identity what the movement actually believes in, since the message is not in the actually words (or gestures), but rather in the intended outcome. The ambiguousness also create an environment that invites more extreme members which can be used to gain votes, or to kick out when there is political points to be gained.
I don't wear any glasses, but I still suffer from eye strain, especially from when I started my software engineering work years ago. I have also tried a lot of devices and medicines, but working long hours is just not good, and taking breaks is very important. So, I have even developed a macOS app to remind myself to take breaks. It is available on the Mac App Store now https://apps.apple.com/us/app/totalpause/id6482185943?mt=12, I hope it helps.

Looks like you’re right. Thanks for clearing up my misunderstanding: I’m not sure why, but I thought Bun was using a custom JS implementation.
not-federalized != walled-garden

A walled garden implies captured user data and social graph, which is the decentralized part of Bluesky (ATProto to be precise). The difference to Mastodon (ActivityPub to be annoyingly precise again) is in funding needed to host the entire thing.

With ActivityPub, you have to find recluse with a war-lord who will now own your data and handle, and spend a not-too-insignificant amount to keep up the infra (enough that instances have folded due to finances). With ATProto, one has to find a seemingly sympathetic oligarch who does NOT own your handle or your data, and has to spend an average european income on keeping up the infra.

Just go head first into AI.

Buy the best text editor (Cursor) and pay for a month.

Learn how to use it well, prompting techniques etc.

This will show you all the limitations it has, so you instead invest your time on specializing in what the AI sucks to do.
Wow, given his attitudes to unemployed immigrants I can't imagine he'll have much sympathy for the people whose jobs the robots will replace. Nonetheless good article, I think he is right that it is an opportunity for Germany.
PWA's just got a callout in the OP, freshly supported since this year
I took it for a spin and it looks great - a great way of playing with a LLM. Sure some of the elements are in IntelliJ, Copilot, or maybe Cursor (which I haven't tried) but it is all very well put together.

Recommended.

(But of course it would be nice to be able to run it against a local model which doesn't seem possible at the moment.)

Cool! I’m always drowning in articles and newsletters, so something like this could really help. Quick question, How does it handle more complex stuff? Like reach papers or technical articles? also will this support summaries on Links or webpages?
Couldn't think of a project that was more doomed to fail than a competing alternative to Node.js, but glad that I gave it a shot when I needed to create lots of stand-alone scripts to process text files and SQLite DB updates which I was able to create with TypeScript, bun:sqlite [1] and bun $ Shell [2] working OOB without needing to manage any configuration files or local npm dependencies.

I've since tried it with new JS/TypeScript Projects which also makes use of its built-in Bundler [3] and testing support [4], installing deps is also instant. Having everything work OOB, fast, are real quality of life improvements where Bun has now become my first choice for any new JS project.

The official Syncthing has been discontinued on android, I believe due to the difficulty of keeping up with the changing APIs.
Cursor has been absolutely game-changing for me, especially its Composer Agent mode.
Indeed. Although more recently they figured out a way to feed the hidden state as the new input, which basically allows the model to "continue thinking" in vectors without round-tripping it via words (or pixels).

Presumably if you were to take that and build a large enough NN to accommodate all the necessary state it needs to carry and all the rules it needs to be able to execute, then after training it on enough game input you'd have a proper world simulation. Of course, as the article rightly notes, then you have just successfully reimplemented Minecraft in a way that is orders of magnitude more computationally expensive...
There are plenty of issues where there exists a strong majority consensus for a certain course of action that Congress hasn't acted on.

The sad fact is that the opinions of what 90% of Americans think have been found to have essentially no impact at all on what Congress does.

Yeah, I don't think I remember any fading on the 2600. Certainly the logs in pitfall didn't fade in.

Color options on the 2600 are pretty slim, and even if you had enough browns to make it fade in, it'd be difficult to have two logs on the same line in different colors, and IIRC, multiple logs on screen definitely happened.

On the Genesis, several games did a transparency effect by alternating output between the sprite and the background, but the 2600 horizontal 'pixel' width is much too wide for that to be effective. And you definitely can't have two different logs on the same line where Harry can be.
In most of Asia the sentence would have been death (back to back multiple sentences if that is possible).
I think this position is also one of the reasons it gained attention. Batteries included is a popular and chosen route for many.

Setting up typescript can be hard. Same goes for webpack, s3, postgres, jest and more. I also find the simplified file and stream access quite interesting.

Lets wait and see how a distributed deployment provider turns out.
Its very flexible, both ends of the spectrum are within the specification.

One could force the "on-device only" by requiring no data exchange with the outside world but thats quite limiting too (and not trivial to check at upload time).
yes. In fact, its probably worse.
> while you're still not 100% Node.js compatible

100% compatibility is a nice marketing win, but the long tail of compatibility may not make much difference to the average user.

What percentage of the total Node.js API surface area do you actually use in your day-to-day? How many weird edge-cases therein are you actually depending on?
> Is JSC really that much faster

I think it is a bit faster. But a lot of Bun's speed comes from implementing API's in Zig rather than JS (which node does a lot)
Fantastic question!

> What percentage of Twitter traffic comes from reddit?

You're going to need Twitter to tell you that. Seeing as Twitter doesn't even share active user statistics anymore, this is a stretch.

> What percentage of reddit subs (weigted by membership?) have banned that type of link?

This would be a fun data collection project. You could even look at the number of links to Twitter that were made before and after the bans.
Given the last few days, As a EU citizen I'm not so sure such distinction is fully accurate anymore. And I'm pretty sure in 2 to 3 years from today the distinction will be even less noticeable.

I wouldn't trust a US data company to not capitulate to... "personal requests" by Musk or Trump any more than I trust it not happening in an hungarian, russian, turkish or chinese one with their respective leadership (official or otherwise).
"huge opportunity in German mechanical engineering". Ha. He should compare a modern German car, with their 2-3 year warranty, to a modern chinese car such as BYD, with their 8 year warranty.
Just opened Youtube and your video was on top of my home page! I will watch it later today.

Congrats on the awesome project! Actually, I think 'well done' is more fitting since this must have taken a ton of work and willpower!
Mac Mini was introduced 20y ago
I wish they would add some kind of download counter.

A decent bunch of the apps on F-Droid are woefully inadequate or still early in development. At the moment F-Droid allows sorting apps either by time of most recent update, or alphabetically. Neither of those is actually useful to me as user.

If there are multiple apps doing the same thing, it is currently incredibly hard to see which one is the best. I do not want to download and install multiple apps only to find out they are essentially unusable, and that of the 5 options only a single one is actually functional.

I understand that F-Droid might not want to go all-in with the rating and review system, but a barebones download counter would at least show some indication whether people install it once and remove it after trying it out, or leave it installed long enough to survive multiple updates.
You’re suggesting violence as the only path to successfully oppose the US president? Wow!
I think you're unaware of just how aggressive China is. Look at their neighbours and their policies - they don't have a single friend because everyone is afraid of their bullying behaviour backed up by their military.

Look at conquered regions like Tibet and Xinjiang.

Look at how they set up police forces in foreign countries to keep an eye on Chinese citizens living abroad. Even having kidnapped and illegally held Chinese citizens in England because they posted anti-CCP messages on WeChat.

Look at countries like the Phillipines (not even a direct neighbour) who are trying to hold on to small fishing islands just off their coast because the CCP claimed those islands in the 1970s.

Remember a few years ago when they ran a week long military exercise around Taiwan... because a US representative spoke to the Taiwanese president. Sure I agree with you that the US also overstepped a line here, but for your response to be shelling the waters around the island is excessive to say the least.

Look at the aggressive nationalist and imperialist news they feed their own population, and the propaganda spread to make the Japanese seem like demons. Did you know there are several theme parks in China where children are encouraged to Bayonette a mannequin of Japanese Imperialist soldiers?

Call the US as bad as you like, but I've never seen a theme park where children are actively taught how to kill and demonise the Taliban or Nazis.

video games are guilty of this too, and the proliferation of Unity and Unreal is partly due to an overoptimization for prototypes
Very interesting take
I feel a little bad that I have used basically all of these, and my job title is still engineer.
x20 is a general purpose register; optimizing compilers can use it for any number of variables, immediate values or intermediate computations at different points within that same function — or none at all (the variable ep could be optimized away).

Re: fork(), I just meant to be thorough in explaining the environment is copied, not shared by processes. Setenv() only affects the process from which it’s called.

The array size bit in the article:
The value 0x220 looks suspiciously close to the size of the old environment in 64-bit words (0x220 / 8 = 68), and this value was written over the terminating NULL of the environment block…

HTH!
OTOH it's strange to me that they're shipping v1.2, when Zig itself is at v0.13 (and generally considered a moving target).
To say you have fallen for a political play is not a personal attack. It is not some sort of personal failing, but a trap set for you. Informing you of that is a nice thing this person has chosen to do for you.

> "The Rich" is the average person in the older generation that bought housing when an appropriate amount was being built

That's one of the fallacies here, thinking that upper middle class is "The Rich". If you think of it as a whole, you will see that the current trajectory means that the overall amount of property that the middle class owns collectively can only go down. Any house that was bought for dime by the older generation but cannot be retained by the following will drop out of the middle class. And it's not going to be spread among the poor but goes up to those who can still afford it: the actual rich.

Thus the middle class slowly but surely bleeds out and all landownership will remain with the super rich. The older middle class is just a temporary place for assets. Once they have gone the situation I layed out will become more and more obvious.
I'm learning math with my kid and it's not different to what I learned. Can still solve everything quickly.

On the other hand there are those posts on social media mixing multiplication and division and telling you there is only one true answer to those. Tailwind isn't that bad, but it's more into this direction for me as an old fart ;)
How does this allow me to replace e.g. Vite? Is there a way to do hot module reloading, css pre-processing, or load framework specific plugins (like the Vue SFC compiler)?
