Launching KnowQo – Enterprise Training Builder SaaS Web App
KnowQo is a technology that lets you host enterprise trainings organically: through conversations, collaborative work, and real-time feedback.

As a tool, KnowQo actually learns from user behavior to continuously optimize for engagement and retention. In short, you build the training, we will ensure users learn and then give you proof that it worked.

You might want to try KnowQo if you are:
- A training consultant who wants to show how valuable your trainings are to clients

- A talent development or L&D expert at a corporation who wants to justify your budget to corporate (or get more budget)

I am so thrilled to be launching KnowQo. If any part of this business seems like it could potentially create value for you, please reach out. If you need a custom feature, I'll build it for you. If you have a unique use case, I'll make it happen! If you just want to chat about building B2B SaaS products, I want to chat :)

P.S. KnowQo was built thanks to so many wonderful Open Source projects and I wanted to take a moment to give some of these amazing projects a shout-out. Solo building a technology can feel lonely, but being part of the Open Source ecosystem has been a wonderful source of engineering community. Thanks so much to Supabase & Nuxt y'all are amazing. I'm consistently impressed by the fact that your offerings so consistently surpass their closed source counterparts in quality, while simultaneously fostering community for us engineers.
Trump is 78 years old and has never shown a single care for anything that didn't directly benefit him personally...

Why is this posted here. What has it to do with hacking.
What tools did you have in 1993? From what I understood, id Software used NeXT because the tooling was not up to the task.
Even while they're empty, you don't have enough legroom.
Do they need to be rewritten? And if they do, is a thought piece by someone with no prior connection or history in aviation the person to make the case for it?
It's 2025 and the software industry is still debating this :-).
This is a pathetic incarnation of the "think of the children!" fallacy Americans love so much. You fundamentally cannot stop children from watching porn. It is like arguing for a second prohibition so we can stop kids from accessing alcohol - not only will the plan fail, it will disproportionately harm the legal consumers to the point they're comfortable breaking the law. Age authentication doesn't work, and it's going to train kids to access illegal pornography if they want their fix.

Parents can't stop it any more than they can stop kids from watching violent movies or renouncing their faith. Quit arguing with this slippery-slope logic, your comment history reads like Pagliacci's personal diary.
It can help but it's not essential. Most coders make lousy managers and most mangers make lousy coders. Sometimes you find people that can do both.

The meta question here is do you need a person to manage you or can you perform at your peak without being micro managed. If so, you might be management material ;-).

I've worked as a employee, freelancer, consultant and lately as a CTO. As a consultant you tell managers how to manage. When freelancing you don't lift a finger unless you are told by your client, who is not your manager (important to be able to tell the difference). If you start consulting them effectively, make sure you increase your rates.

If you are an employee, you might have a career path that may involve you evolving into a manager. And as a CTO of a small company it's my job to make sure shit gets done. And sometimes that means getting hands on and leading by example. And sometimes that means delegating work and optimizing my time use. And sometimes I like having some fun. I hate delegating fun things.

A CTO that isn't hands-on is not a CTO and cannot provide long term meaningful technical leadership. Any technical skills they have don't have a long shelf life. Companies with no CTO and a hands off VP of engineering are probably not technology companies. This is a problem if they are trying to be one. Or used to be one.

I've consulted a few of those. I've also advised startup founders to not hire a CTO and instead find themselves a good VP of engineering. Because they weren't creating a tech company and their technical staff was OK but clearly not management material. In a startup, CTO is a founding role. A tech lead reports to the VP of engineering, a CTO reports to the CEO. Or sometimes is the CEO as well. Big difference. The VP of engineering is not a C level executive typically. They aren't co-founders. They don't hold a lot of equity. Good CTOs that can double being a decent VP of engineering are rare. Very different skill sets. The opposite is more common.

In short, it all depends.
Triple buffering mean you can render at any speed, there will always be a valid target where to render and you never need to wait or vsync.

This is not the case with double buffering. There can be a case, if the CPU renders fast enough, where it just finished rendering to the current target, but the previous target is still being sent to the CRT. In that case the CPU need to block on VBL.
Can you clarify the definitions you're using? How is inflation different from increasing prices?
Every statistical machine learning algorithm, including RL, deals with noisy data. The process of fitting aims to remove the sampling noise, revealing the population distribution, thereby compressing it into a model.

The argument being advanced is that intelligence is the proposal of more parsimonious models, aka compression.
It doesn't seem to bother Trump when it comes to arming Israel, there no competition but more civilians died there than in Ukraine so far in absolute number, and the ratio of civilian to military deaths isn't even close.

If you want to play that card you have to be somewhat consistent. I don't think Trump can play the human rights card, and it's been a looong time
Free Robotics and AI News Aggregators
I'm excited to share Robotics Observer & AI Observer—free news sites that aggregates all of the important robotics/AI news and insights in one place. It's a great way to stay informed without the usual noise. Feel free to check it out at www.aiobserver.co & www.roboticsobserver.com
Short answer: both.

Pitching air traffic management is going to be a years long process.

Getting certified for on-board avionics is similarly challenging.

In the meantime, we'll get better and better at monitoring the airspace system and deploy that technology into unregulated applications like post-operational roles.
For the sake of my eyes, I have wanted to switch from using a secondary computer monitor to a projector. I imaging switching looking from primary monitor at 2 feet vs projector screen at 8 feet would be good exercise for the eyes.

Does anybody have recommendations for a good projector? I care less about color fidelity, given that this is for work, and more about excellent contrast in a lit room, and resolution.
In my opinion it is a populist movement, and we should accept this hard truth. Trump is in office due to "manipulation" to the same extent that any speech is manipulation. He is a salesman and has sold his vision for the country successfully.
Although not sure, it can be related to NLI models described here https://paperswithcode.com/task/natural-language-inference
Great website! Hope you continue with it, love the layout
Draft more soldiers, for example. Missiles falling on Russian cities will increase motivation to go defend the country and will make a good cause for involuntary conscription.
Well yes - it was an incredible feat of performance engineering. It's just that since then someone managed to make an extra three thousand commits worth of micro optimizations.
Like the design
that's a nonsensically optimistic view given current events. It's far more likely that there is no security guarantee in a treaty form precisely because the US does not intend to help Taiwan.
Isn't it just a "price laddering" strategy.

Where you make the prices of a maxed out lower tier product be more expensive than a barebones higher tier, so it incentives you to "ladder up" your product choice.

Such a publication would not explicitly come out and say “pit bulls are the most dangerous problem in America”. That’s something that can be easily falsified.

They would say something like “learn the truth about pit bulls” and then feed you an endless barrage of attack footage and anecdotes and emotionally charged information.

The purpose is to shape your priors. If all you see is pit bulls attacking people, your subconscious will rate them more risky. You may not even be able to verbalize why you changed your opinion.
Maybe LSE should break the cycle by running their own relay and appview.
"...this case involves provisions that do not spell out what a permittee must do or refrain from doing; rather, they make a permittee responsible for the quality of the water in the body of water into which the permittee discharges pollutants. When a permit contains such requirements, a permittee that punctiliously follows every specific requirement in its permit may nevertheless face crushing penalties if the quality of the water in its receiving waters falls below the applicable standards. For convenience, we will call such provisions 'end-result' requirements.

The permittee in this case is a wastewater treatment facility owned by San Francisco. For the past five years, the facility’s permit has included two end-result requirements, and if those provisions are upheld, the City could be heavily penalized even though it was never put on notice that it was
obligated to take any specific step other than those it undertook."

Thank god. Sense in government. (The WPCA history makes the opinion worth the read.)
> US has spent over $100B, in return for what? How has the average American benefited?

In international relations, power is relative (see: the security dilemma). A weaker adversary means a more powerful USA. USA Spends much more than that every year on its military. I claim the ROI is much better here.

> Are you okay with sacrificing hundred of thousands of Ukrainian lives to damage your enemies? Is that acceptable?

We’re not sacrificing any lives. Russia is stealing them by illegally continuing their a war of annexation. If Mexico invaded Texas, should USA “sacrifice” no lives to take it back?

Should Europe offer no aid because “the war really should end”.
Tell HN: GenAI companies stopped gatekeeping product access
Today OpenAI lets you try ChatGPT even before you logging in. Meta surfaced their models on WhatsApp. You can use a bit of Grok and Perplexity without giving up any personal information.

Huge contrast from Q1 of 2023, when LLamA leaked; when you had to go through hoops just to test drive an open model in a chat setting.

I'm just glad the market is more open now. :)
Found out about ForwardEmail recently, looking for privacy related options, but also was surprised by the the array of services by the money, quite outstanding!
This depends entirely on the company and its size. At a big company it’s likely a manager’s calendar will be packed with meetings.

At a smaller company, a manager of a small-ish team might not have enough meetings and planning work to fill the workweek.

I’ve been at small and medium companies where managers were hired from big companies and felt obligated to keep their calendars full. They would invent new meetings, come up with new ideas, and churn the roadmap to fill the time and look like they were doing something. It was depressing.
There's no need for Russia to get involved. As per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enriched_uranium

> The following countries are known to operate enrichment facilities: Argentina, Brazil, China, France, Germany, India, Iran, Japan, the Netherlands, North Korea, Pakistan, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
> If you disagree with your manager, your performance review will suffer, you will be called disagreeable, hard to work with,etc

I think your experiences sound like a case of a very bad coworker, whether manager or not.

I don't want a manager who knows nothing about the applications and the architecture. I have no desire to punch a clock and be coddled with public mentions and work parties. I want to work with people (including my manager) who want to solve problems together, and solve them the right way.

There may be problems that arise because my manager is busy trying to do technical work but I'll take that any day over a manager who can barely speak the same domain-specific language, constantly gets facts wrong, gets upset as a result of their misunderstandings, applies arbitrary deadlines and expectations, and calls for endless status requests in the midst of all this. No thanks.

Oh and forget any kind of technical direction! Because your manager is forced to accept what people tell them, it becomes a free-for-all where the programmer with the biggest ego wins.

And yes, I too am essentially just describing a hypothetical bad coworker. There are probably some great managers out there who are ignorant of the technology. (Ugh.) But I will put my money on 'technically proficient' or 'involved in the code' every single time.
Assuming self-hosting, data is processed within the deployment with local deep learning models for embedding, identifying low information documents, etc. A hybrid keyword/vector index is built locally within the deployment as well.

At rest, the data is stored in Postgres and Vespa (the hybrid index), both of which are part of the deployment so it's all local.

The part that typically goes external is the LLM but many teams also host local LLMs to use with Onyx. In either case, the LLM is not being finetuned, the knowledge relevant to the question is passed in as part of the user message.

We built Onyx with data security in mind so we're very proud of the way the data flows within the system. We made the system work well with models that can run without GPUs as well so our users can get good quality results even if deploying on a laptop.

This is a tough question since what's best for the team and what's personally best for the manager's career may be in conflict, at least when it comes to the long-term. A manager who doesn't do any coding will over time get rusty and get further and further away from the current best practices, latest library/framework hotness etc. This can lead to awkward conversations of the type where the manager suggests "let's do/use X" where X was the best practice 5+ years ago and then it has to be diplomatically explained to him/her that's no longer the best practice. It can also be dispiriting to the manager if they got into software development because they enjoy coding, but now they have to deal with planning, people management etc., which they might be good at, but it may not bring them the same level of job satisfaction.
Pain indeed. I tried an ortho layout a few weeks ago on a split Corne and developed really bad wrist pain. No idea why, but it went away after reverting to a stagger and giving that hand a break
I spent 15 minutes watching a group of about 8 cuttlefish on a reef. There were clearly lots of complex group interactions going on between them. It is also amazing fast they can change colour.

> Russia is the source of instability, but it can't be defeated or reasoned with. What to do?

Russia can be easily defeated; especially at this point. Their armies are demoralized, their equipment is terrible (they are using donkeys), and their budget is running out. The only reason they do not crumble is their sheer size against Ukraine. They would easily be wiped out by a more modern western military. Conservatives in the US now like Russia because they ban LGBT and Europe does not want to pay for a likely 2 year attack and show of force.

And don't talk to me about using nuclear weapons against the west. Russia won't use them. They haven't use them for 3 years despite threats to the west if they don't stop funding Ukraine. The second they use them against the west; the west uses them right back. All the money, power, and influence the elites have in Russia disappears. They won't let Putin launch them.
Everyone wants the war to end. As John Stewart put it, Hitler wanted the war to end.

It’s the terms of how it ends that need to be reasonable.
You mean the half still aligned with Ukraine against Putin?

Team democracy tech only. Everyone seems aligned on that.

Will never happen during Xi's life.
> Well, if it is [technically] correct, then it's obviously not "propaganda", but simply the truth.

What does that mean?

Claim is correct => Claim is not propaganda

Also means

Claim is propaganda => Claim can not be correct
Everything that I described above, I observed personally. The no-vertical-taskbar thing has been an open issue in the tracker for many years; if it works now, I'm glad to hear it.

Regarding local accounts, it is supported by Windows, but the installer will straight up refuse to let you create such an account now (so you have to install using a cloud account and log into it at least once to create a local account). Previously, there used to be workarounds like installing without Internet, or certain incantations you could do in the "recovery" terminal during installation, but they have been killed off one by one. If you haven't seen this yourself, it just means that you haven't installed Windows 11 recently.
> Europe is far more dependent on oil for industry and manufacturing than for simply transport.

If you take personal vehicle transport needs out, they still need oil yes, but a lot less. They also have plenty of resources (e.g. Norwegian Hydro, French Nuclear, even German coal) that they can bring to bear on energy pricing.

China is really smart for pushing themselves off of oil dependence. Yes, someone on the spectrum will mention that they still need some oil, but needing a lot less of it gives you so much more flexibility when it comes to geopolitics.

As for German car manufacturers...I already drive a German EV (made in Germany as well) so I'm not sure what the big deal is about.
Pretty cool use of NLP. I wonder if training schools can use this to train their students to improve their readback detection. IMO, one of the hardest things as a pilot in training in the first few months is getting feedback on my communication with the tower.
Interesting paper, thanks for sharing here. Encrypting ADS-B is a whole discussion... in my opinion, it's a good thing to have largely public location data for folks to consume and study.

What were your main takeaways from this paper?
I've seen plenty of managers who increased team output 10% for a few months by coding and completely lost the thread in the meantime. That's how your entire team gets laid off. Leadership doesn't care how much code your team writes, they care that you're working on the right stuff.

An engineering manager's job is: take long-term ownership for the performance of the team. That might include aligning with leadership, marketing your team's work internally, hiring, performance management, team bonding, planning, retros, oncall coverage etc. etc, although sometimes you'll have a PM/tech lead/HR contact who handle some of these.

Every now and then, your bottleneck really is just writing more code (more common in smaller companies). In that case, jump in.
I hate this argument. Yeah, billions of dollars flowing to arms manufacturers is a stimulus. But in an inflationary/supply constrained economy, that stimulus is actually not what we need — we need to reduce the demand on the military’s inputs
At this point most of Russian occupation forces are volunteers who signed up to get enormous sign-in bonus and huge salary. Huge for Russian rural areas.

They promise up to 4 million rubles sign-in and 220000+ monthly.

They are eager to go killing neighbors for $2500 monthly salary.
Agreed. This debate is useless without discussing the context of company size.

If you’re a manager at a big company with a project that intersects with 5 other teams and you have a dozen people who call themselves stakeholders for your work, you’re not going to have any time to code.

If you’re a manager at a small company where everyone knows each other and team sizes are small, there might be something wrong if your calendar is full of meetings.

I’ve been at a couple small companies that hired big company managers. They felt obligated to create more meetings, documents, and discussions to fill their time and look busy. We finally had to start screening for managers who knew how to fill their time with something productive, whether it’s coding or going out and working with customers.

Generating meetings until your calendar is full is a game in itself at a lot of companies.
Any extension of AES to a 256-bit block size would need to use at least a double number of AES-NI operations, but it will also process a double amount of data, so that is not the problem.

The shuffle of Rijndael-256 is suboptimal, being a derivative of the shuffle designed for an 128-bit block, so it is certainly possible to devise something better than that when designing specifically for a 256-bit size. Rijndael-256 has only the advantage that it is a quasi-standard mode, which has passed some cryptanalysis during the AES competition.

I have not studied Areion, but at a first glance I agree with you that it seems promising.
I just print in office. Not many to print anyway.
Curious why large open source project (like linux) have no manager for all the political stuff but works well but every private company have a huge management chain for less complex stuff.
Don't overweight rare examples. This is basically the only one that I ever see brought up too because it was a fuck up. Plus it's not like there's any force to offering it.
Flights to Reagan National Airport in D.C. received false collision alerts
"'It's been happening all morning. Let me know if you see anything. No one else has seen anything except for on the TCAS,' one air traffic controller can be heard telling an inbound flight. Based on CBS News' review of the ATC audio, at least 12 flight crews reported receiving apparent false TCAS alerts — leading three flights to perform go-arounds between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m. ET on Saturday."

Again, the US is not perfect. This doesn't invalidate my point in the top level comment.
