My last startup was remote only since 2014, through two acquisitions until I left last year (still is afaik).

I would never go back to an office position at this point.

Now working on my next startup, I can't imagine ever requiring an in-person workforce. It just seems so inefficient for everyone involved.
Managed to skip all that so far (the spark plugs (and coils) were the one repair).

Oh, you're right, there was a transmission fluid change somewhere along the way.
I can't see what your parent comment wrote because it is deleted.

But I also can't guess why the FDA would investigate Starlink?!?
Show HN: I made a fun Chrome extension to stay productive and build good habits
Hello, fellow devs! I just started learning to code last year to become a developer, and today, my Chrome extension is finally featured on the Chrome Web Store after publishing it few months ago.

It’s called Reboost, and it’s super simple. It has two core features:

• Track and log your water intake
• Set custom reminders for breaks (like eye rests or stretching)

Right now, I’m in a bit of a dilemma.

I want to keep updating and improving the extension, but I’m struggling to come up with ideas on my own. I’d love to hear any feedback, whether it’s suggestions, criticism, or anything else that could help me make it better. I really appreciate it! :)
Yeah, don't they know how to hustle? I bet they're still asleep at 5am.

Seriously, though, it's really sad that not trying to profit off a discussion of industry tooling is something someone has to "push through".
arguably video data is more valuable
Gamification as a field of study also reminds me a lot of this video[1] of a talk about tips for game developers. It is very interesting because it is from 2016 which is close to the time period you mentioned. I’m pretty sure this video has been shared on Hacker News a bunch.

> Go's context can be used as a DI container.

the WithValue/Value API allows you to treat the context as essentially a map[string]any. [0]

so if you want to make the definition so expansive as to be meaningless, then yes, map[string]any can be used as a "DI container". and so can a context object, because it exposes a map[string]any-ish API.

0: though if you read the implementation [1] looking up a value in a context is essentially a linked-list traversal and not a hashtable lookup

For context, I made it because I wanted to be consistent with my productivity and good habits while spending hours on my computer. Figured others might find it helpful too!

> CFS for example uses FLiBe molten salt

Ok, let's talk about that. For those who are not familiar, CFS stands for Commonwealth Fusion Systems, as startup with links to MIT. CFS aims to build a fusion reactor similar to ITER, but many times smaller, the secret sauce being that they use superconductors to achieve high magnetic fields. Back in 2022 some of the MIT guys got an ARPA-E grant to investigate the use of FLiBe to achieve atritium breeding ratio higher than 1 [1]. The results are in [2], they were published in January 2025. Here are some quotes:

> The long-term goal of LIBRA is to demonstrate a TBR ⩾ 1 in a large volume (1000 kg ∼ 500 l) of FLiBe molten salt using D–T neutron generators. Note that a full-scale LIB in an ARC-class FPP will require ∼250 000 l of FLiBe, hence the importance of understanding tritium behavior in large salt volumes.

ARC is the fusion reactor designed by CFS. This paper states that it will need 250000 liters of FLiBe. This is an insane amount. To understand how large this amount is, consider this: this ARPA-E project that took 3 years, used a quantity of 100 ml, so 0.1 liters.

Anyway, what breeding ratio was achieved? 3.57 x 10^(-4), or 0.0357%. It's a long way to go from here to 1.

I'm not saying it's impossible, but too many things related to fusion are just "engineering details".

I could tell you why, based on writing a ton of code in both, but I doubt that would lead anywhere.
> The same argument about capacity could be made for other modern appliances like air conditioning and electric dryers.

Oh sure. My point wasn't that "it cannot be done" - it clearly can. My point was that this is not as "ready to go" as some people suggest sometimes.
It would be beneficial to have a hardware-optimized Llama lineup with a clearer naming scheme and distinct performance tiers, for example:

- Llama 4.0 Phone (Lite / Standard / Max) – For mobile devices.

- Llama 4.0 Workstation (Lite / Standard / Max) – For PCs and laptops.

- Llama 4.0 Server (Lite / Standard / Max) – For high-performance computing.

This approach would enable developers to select the appropriate model based on both device type and performance needs.

What do you think? For example now I feel like 3.3 70B is more for laptops/PCs, and the previous 3.2 3B for phones, is a bit confusing to me.
i was with you, until this:

when an employee is wrong, they're a tool that is malfunctioning

weird out of distribution people make bad employees

that's a very dystopian view of employment that i can't subscribe to. employees are not mindless drones. when they are "wrong" the same considerations should apply that you give to people otherwise.
I archived every post with Java, so good
Going to be interesting to see the MTTL (mean time to lawsuit) on this. Sounds grossly negligent. I feel kinda sorry for the lonely lawyer.
> NASA aren't rocket guys.

This isn’t true. NASA engineers own the design and engineering of the SLS rocket. No doubt some of the detailed engineering work is given to contractors, as is the manufacturing, but NASA’s “rocket guys” own the overall design. (And of course a lot of the big picture was dictated by Congress-still, there’s a lot of engineering decisions left in the middle between what Congress dictates and what is left up to the contractors.)

NASA has continually had rocket engineers going back to not long after its founding, when Wernher von Braun and his team transferred over from the US Army - through Mercury and Gemini, to Apollo’s Saturn V, the Space Shuttle, the abortive Constellation program, and now SLS. Part of the argument that SLS supporters make for not canceling it is that it gives NASA’s rocket engineers work to do and helps keep that knowledge in-house

NASA’s engineers also provide technical advice to commercial launch vehicle and engine vendors such as SpaceX, Blue Origin, ULA, etc, and they also have an important role to play in NASA’s verification of the commercial vendors’ technical analyses to demonstrate their launch vehicles are safe and reliable. But double-checking the work of someone else isn’t the same thing as owning your own launch vehicle design. Now, personally, I don’t agree with the argument-it isn’t worth spending billions for NASA to retain their own “full service” rocket engineering skill base when the commercial skill base in that area is now just as good, arguably even better - but that’s the argument they make
I think it's because babies and toddlers aren't conscious. Sentient, yes, but like a dog.

Are you sure this isn't what Scripton is offering? From the pricing page:

That doesn't preclude the idea that what stops when your subscription ends is the updates, not use at all. But I genuinely don't know either way.
Cheers for that - I looked but missed it <shrug>
I create a .venv directory for each project(even for those test projects named pytest, djangotest). And each project has its own requirements file. Personally, Python packaging has never been a problem.
Yes. A lot of it. It was maybe 10% effective at best.

The way one ENT described it, I have 40% degradation on one side. If it’s constant, your brain adjusts and you are essentially ok. If something happens to vary that then your brain can’t adjust. My theory is that you add inflammation or migraines or epilepsy or all of it and the brain can’t compensate.
You meant to write "generate $-115 million" I think. I'd start by putting all the money under a mattress which is already doing way better than Humane. Then I'd try to think of something fun to make.

Reagan explained it all to everyone more than 40 years ago. Let the rich get even richer, more breadcrumbs fall from their tables, which means more for everyone.

The problem was that the Laffer curve had a vague ring of truth to it (enabled by the lack of any labels on the axes), and millions of Americans have bought into the bullshit it has implied for decades now.

Ditch the Desk: Game Controller Keyboards for True Portable Workstations
- I'm searching for the ultimate portable workstation! Forget being chained to a desk. I want to work anywhere – desk mode or even in bed! That's why I'm thinking about game controllers as potential keyboards.

- I love the GPD Pocket 4, but I miss the WiBrain B1 UMPC's split keyboard and touchpad. Combining the power of GPD with that ergonomic keyboard would be a dream for working on the go!

- Suggestion: Offer an option to replace console controllers with a split keyboard and touchpad. This would be perfect for those who value typing efficiency, portability, and the freedom to work wherever they want!

Implicit shared state? Exactly the thing to enjoy in a highly concurrent environment!

At least I hope that a context can be immutable throughout. I only see one variable in the documentation of the context package. Extending it with mutable fields, and mutating them to pass data between functions, would be something I'd never approve in a code review.
I’m confused by this. Go doesn’t have a “publish a library” step, whereas every other language does. Is “noop” the special case you are referring to? And why are you comparing publishing a library in Go to publishing executables in other languages?

> unidiomatic to continue developing your packages after you publish them

Are you talking about publishing breaking changes without bumping the major version? Because that seems … like a bad idea in any language?
I can get migraines, but they’re “silent migraines” which means there’s little or no pain aspect. Thankfully it was pretty straightforward to root out the trigger - caffeine. I still love coffee, but I’m decaf only now. I drink Equator Coffee’s natural process decafs.
Yes, and then I keep going back to the basics:

- small .cursorrules file explaining what I am trying to build and why at a very high level and my tech stack

- a DEVELOPMENT.md file which is just a to-do/issue list for me that I tell cursor to update before every commit

- a temp/ directory where I dump contextual md and txt files (chat logs discussing feature, more detailed issue specs, etc.)

- a separate snippet management app that has my commonly used request snippets (write commit message, ask me clarify questions, update README, summarize chat for new session, etc.)

Otherwise it's pretty much what your workflow is.

24 of those files are under 100 lines - some of them are as small as three lines of code. and that's not a personal preference - that's mandated by Java that each type needs to be in its own file, ridiculous.

How kind! Thank you.

Current applications are just ML/adtech, and the only parts of my job that have really used any PDE skills have been understanding the phase space of autoscaling and optimizing for a set of parameters that have minimal costs and don't wake the team up at night. There have been some other problems where my math background was helpful, but not in a PDE sense. Most of my current job doesn't use anything even halfway tangential to PINNs, despite being an ML engineer. I mostly do infrastructure work and make the machines go brr. I'm not positive yet, but I might be blogging about some of those things soon.

At my last job, one of the big problems was acquiring more MRI data in less time. One of the crucial steps in that is throwing away all the assumptions that make it easy (like having enormous field strengths and large enough relaxation times that you can treat anything nonlinear as gaussian noise). Those assumptions require time and money to generate a certain amount of data, but if you instead just blast blue noise at the patient and can model the physics involved well enough then you can gather much more data in much less time. The trick is in interpreting it. PINNs were very useful in speeding up classical solvers (in that case, entirely by choosing "good" initializations). For some applications (like quasi real-time plotting), you could even skip the classical solving step.

I've done a lot of things over the years. Back in school it was genomics and quantum chemistry. In between, I've had a lot of ideas (most of them bad, but no matter what anyone tells you I think the bad ideas are even more useful pedagogically), and I tend to throw at them the whole gamut of techniques I've learned as I explore. It's somewhere between "extremely wasteful", a "fun hobby", and "crucial to my professional learning and development". I'm not sure yet where the balance is, but I like how my career is progressing, so I keep studying things in detail.

If I had to guess, that "deep level of knowledge" you're referencing might be from my propensity for being a bit cocky and self-aggrandizing. Else, it might be from having built multiple versions of every optimization technique, ML framework, or other piece of software I've ever written about and studying what made them work and made them fail. I like to think it's more of the latter (enough so that I encourage other people to build things from first principles even when they only want to call an API and make a thing happen), but there's probably some truth to the former too.
Thanks dude, I'll reduce it next time.
What makes you think it doesn't?
All of their games were ported to Mac in 2013 or so but that support has been wound back in the last year or so with Intel Macs dying, 32-bit Mac support dying and presumably no interest from Apple in helping keep the Mac ports alive.

Woke means reducing individuals down to classes (race, gender etc).

I get one about once a decade. My mother got them frequently.

Real migraines absolutely suck. A lot of folks describe regular headaches as “migraines,” but they are a pale imitation of the real thing.

In my case, they usually start in the morning, but don’t get really excruciating until early evening. I usually figure out it’s a migraine, about lunchtime. Around 9-10PM or so, I puke, then the headache starts leveling off, until I fall asleep. The next day, it’s as if nothing happened.

I did “short-circuit” one, the last time one started, using advice that I remembered from my mother. I sat in a recliner, in a dark room, with a towel wrapped around the top of my head and eyes (probably looked ridiculous). It’s important not to engage my eyes at all. After a couple of hours, the headache stopped.
I agree with this. I have a normally inquisitive friend who, in response to his trade being threatened by AI, has decided that it's all a horror and he would rather avoid even reading or trying anything from the AI landscape. Bit like "I'd rather be unemployed and starving than have anything to do with all that."

All of my trades are likewise threatened, but I've found various AI options to be useful augments or interesting toys. Things like having ChatGPT check if a particular game already exists, or analysing cost/effort of lining a shed with gyprock vs ply, or analysing a chicken orchard with steel or timber, or instantly culling lists of extraneous options, or summarising someone's public writings on a particular topic, name ideas in various languages. If you have an experience eye to review suggestions, it's fantastic. Or having CoPilot/similar quickly juicing up a web page - something I could do manually, but would rather save time. Or learning how to build a game in a different language.
The need to process the large amount of data gathered by the fusion test rig drove many fields of computer science. The freaking internet was supposedly invented because the physicists at CERN needed a way to collaboratively process and interpret this data.

David, this is weird. I went to your public website that you list in your bio to understand your world view more, because your unhinged remark about my excitement over seeing a study linking the immune system to mood disorders.

- I did not give advice to anyone. That is delusional.

- You seem to think that "people with mood disorders" and "being suicidal" has some equivalency. I think people who are suicidal need to get in a psychiatric hospital and while they are there they can see a psychiatrist and in the future, hopefully, an immunologist. Because since we do not know what causes mental illnesses we should look for every possible cause, which in some well known cases is immune related.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/wellness/2023/06/01/schizophr...

I get it is ok for most people to be fine with giving up on people like me and say "You have no evidence blah blah blah" while I am homeless, mentally ill, and in chronic pain. You see, somehow I keep my excitement alive during all of this, and people like you just want to kill it because "there are no studies yet" while all these people keep getting millions in grants for testing 40 year old treatments where 1/100000 of that money give to me to help me get housing would do more for my mental illness than anything else.

BTW, nutrition helped me get off all the meds that were killing me, so kudos for posting that paper on your website.
I live in the fastest growing area of the country, which means insane traffic. If it weren’t for that nightmare I wouldn’t mind returning to an office within 30 miles.

What I will never return to is an environment of fraud where people call themselves engineers and yet struggle to put text on screen and spend days to accomplish the most trivial of tasks.
There's nothing forcing you to write EE style code in Java though, or depend on frameworks written in that style.
…what?

The author has a narrow defensible point (OpenAI and Anthropic have questionable business models) and rather than stating it tersely, he’s instead tried to use that to write an unfocused article dismissing all of Generative AI as a con.

The level of incompetence is breathtaking.

Last Thursday they fired several hundred people at the NNSA with no notice, and then had to walk it back by Friday night when they realized that's the people that oversee the fucking nukes.

“The DOGE people are coming in with absolutely no knowledge of what these departments are responsible for,” Daryl Kimball said to The Associated Press, executive director of the Arms Control Association. “They don’t seem to realize that it’s actually the department of nuclear weapons, more than it is the Department of Energy.”

Agree with this but also want to stress the importance of washing your hands after handling solder, to be sure. And any affected surfaces in your work station / area.

You don't want to accidentally ingest tiny bits of lead from the solder, and this probably goes for solder without lead too.
