I dunno. If your immediate response is to lie rather than admit that you don't know something, it increases the probability that this is the person's default response when in such a situation. You don't want that person working for you if you depend on them for critical stuff, like many development or similar positions.

If you've ever worked with someone like this, you'd know that it's frustrating and unpleasant mid-to-long-term. Someone breaks prod and refuses to admit it unless given a commit as evidence and a confrontation rather than owning up and fixing/helping fix it? Pretends to know everything then produces terrible work that sucks more hours out of other devs? Nah.

Admitting fault and lack of knowledge is important, and it's different to ignorance.

If you're desparate, actually know your stuff, and still lie, that's on you IMO.
If you don't know your stuff and you lie, you probably wouldn't have made it anyway.

Show HN: Vtbag.dev, a Learning Hub and Toolbox for View Transitions
Hey HN,

I’ve built https://vtbag.dev, a site dedicated to the View Transitions API.
If you're curious about this still emerging API or want to level up your skills, this is for you.

What’s inside?
Hands-on demos & examples – See View Transitions in action.
Comprehensive learning materials – Guides, tutorials, and deep dives.
Tips & tricks – Workarounds for common pitfalls.
Tools & Libraries – Cross document DOM state, forward/backward directions, automation, diagnostics and lots more!

The site focuses on both same-document and cross-document view transitions. The latter might be especially interesting if you're using SvelteKit, Eleventy, Astro, or another static site generator.

I'd love feedback! What’s missing, what could be better? Check it out: https://vtbag.dev
I don't know the legal and justice aspects of this, but I personally hope whatever happens prevents the ongoing privacy abuses, like uBlock not working into the future due to decreased ability to block content. Just my personal preference.
It's also easy to spot irrational zealots. Your statement is no more plausible than OP's. No one knows whether we'll achieve AGI, especially since the definition is very blurry.
Which is a major omission, as transformer-based language models are the most powerful available form of "probabilistic artificial intelligence". They predict a probability distribution over a token given a sequence of previous tokens.

My guess is that most of the content in the book is several years old (it's apparently based on an ETH Zurich class), despite the PDF being compiled this year, which would explain why it doesn't cover the state of the art.

Someone asked more why it was not an option but deleted their comment before they could answer, so here is my reply:

There is a issue with fear and using the passport.

Border agents have pretty much complete discretion and control at all borders in all countries against non-citizens. Any border agent can deny entry for any reason, or subject someone to extra searches, maybe strip searches, without any consequence or any recourse from the traveler.

Given the amount of transphobic people, this is an issue. Imagine if gay people had to get passports in the 90s or 80s that marked their orientation?

The second issue is a huge issue as well, that could easily lead to an increase in suicides.
Much of these complaints are usually better directed at Crowdstrike and other EDRs. The performance difference between my employer-provided Macbook and my personal one are like night and day.

That’s almost entirely for rent.

IMO if we actually wanted to overhaul our economy, we could do it by just having POS’s print the portion of each bill that goes into rent.

Then the culprit of COL increases would be quite clear.

Especially given that wages are themselves also driven up primarily by rent.

Yes, the bar for copyright protection on written text is very low. And I've never not seen them just plainly copy/pasted.

If someone rephrased them I really wouldn't have an issue with that, because the phrasing is fairly important to the particular questions I'm asking. (and the doofuses using these sites probably would miss any nuance when rephrasing them anyway)
One of my more effective uses of AI is for rubber duck debugging. I tell it what I want the code to do, iterate over what it comes back with, adjust the code ( 'now rewrite foo() so 'bar' is is passed in'). What comes back isn't necessarily perfect and I don't blindly copy and paste but that isn't the point. At the end I've worked out what I want to do and some of the tedious boiler-plate code is taken care of.

I work for a large company that hires a lot of developers. If you're in the US you've heard of us and there's maybe a one-in-three chance you're our customer. We are not "sexy" though. I have seen question banks circulate occasionally but when it's time to actually interview nobody can ever remember where the question bank is. Usually when I've been on a team that's actively hiring we make up a bank of questions for that particular round of hiring, which helps us in comparing those candidates that are directly competing against each other. But nothing at scale.

Not sure how fiscality works in Germany, but if similar as France, then that would be 64k _super_ gross per employee per year. So you would remove ~25% of that to get employee gross. Meaning, more like 50k gross per year.

Some context: Speakeasy lets you generate SDKs from OpenAPI 3.x specs and now every user that generates a TypeScript SDK gets a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server bundled with it. This is available to users on both free and paid tiers.

I've been the primary maintainer of TypeScript SDK codegen and since launching it early last year, I made a bet on Zod for defining models and tying static TypeScript types to runtime validation. During that time, LLM function calling became a widespread feature and we saw that lots of folks preferred defining function arguments using Zod schemas and having something like `zod-to-json-schema` convert them to JSON Schema.

Fast forward to MCP's release and we noticed that the TypeScript SDK also accepts Zod schemas for defining tool arguments. The "gap" between generating a TypeScript SDK and going further to generate an MCP server was so small for us that we jumped right on it.

In terms of other interesting bits, the server is built out into a single JavaScript file using Bun's bundler. We also use stricli (https://bloomberg.github.io/stricli/) for type-safe CLI argument parsing and code structuring. We're also looking at building MCP servers out into standalone binaries which would remove the pre-requisite for node.js and npx when installing them. It's also possible to register additional custom tools and resources on top of what we generate so you're not locked out just because it's generated code. The generated tool themselves are also regular ES modules. You can skip over most things and import them from the SDK and into your own MCP server if you're building one yourself.

Show HN: Nango – Embed 600+ integrations from 400+ APIs in your SaaS
Hey HN,

Two years ago, we launched Nango as an open-source OAuth handler[0] that simplified authorization for 40 APIs. Since then, we’ve expanded to become a full product integration platform for developers. We now support 400+ APIs, 600+ pre-built integrations, and custom integrations-as-code.

Each API in our catalog comes with auth handling (OAuth, API keys, etc.), two-way syncing, retries, rate limit management, pagination, webhooks, observability, etc.

We also have pre-built integrations for common use cases like fetching HubSpot contacts, creating GitHub issues, syncing Salesforce data, and hundreds more.

If an API or integration you need isn’t supported yet, you can implement it yourself on Nango (or ask us to prioritize it).

Everything related to API authorization is free forever, and you can either self-host or use our cloud version.

API catalog: https://www.nango.dev/api-integrations
Docs: https://docs.nango.dev
Repo: https://github.com/NangoHQ/nango

We would love to hear what you think!

Core memory unlocked! Good times
These Ukrainian firms were remnants of the USSR aerospace program. The only reason they were in Ukraine is the USSR's policy of geographically distributing technological investment. And the only reason China benefitted so much was that these firms were in a state of complete abandonment and nobody in the dysfunctional government cared that the IP was sold off wholesale. There is nothing useful left.

It’s kind of uncommon to be aware that you have only a vague recall of the API and not go check the documentation or code to refresh your memory. That self knowledge that you knew something and aren’t sure of the details is indeed the thing that these tools lack. So far.
There is the Qualia Research Institute, one of the things they do is using dope and making simulations of the experience. They basically found 2 main types of drugs:

1. Most “create more separate personalities” in you

2. One (the “toad poison”) actually makes you feel like a giant place, the feeling is usually pleasant.

So there is either “agentification” of you into more “agents” or “space-ification” into one giant place without any agency in it. I think we can make this static place AI and it’ll be safe by definition because we’re the only agents in it.

P.S. I don’t promote drugs
apparently you can - see this thread.
I think that was him trusting the author to be fair and show a balanced view of who he was; maybe that trust was misplaced.
Hmm. As a fairly non-experienced person with a strong interest in experimenting with RISC-V, I read the comments here, and the article, and still feel, maybe this isn't the thing to get me started. Maybe the ecosystem still isn't there for a beginner to jump in.

Is there such a thing as a (cheap) SBC that runs RISC-V, which has good documentation (books, forums, whatever) on getting started programming on it? I'd like to get into assembly more, and hardware, and I'm interested in RISC-V for its open nature, but it can feel overwhelming getting the foot in the door.

Or is this it, and I'm just being overwhelmed by all the talk? Where would I go to get clear documentation on programming and experimenting with an Orange Pi RV2, if I went that route?

I still am a bit of a 3dfx fanboy. Ended up emailing 3dfx at one stage and got sent a load of posters and case stickers (remember those?).

I had a Voodoo Banshee which was a fairly decent card (not quite as good as a Voodoo 2, but better than a Voodoo Rush as a combined 2D/3D card). Paired to a Pentium P133 - very overkill on the GPU. Ended up using the same card on a AMD K6-2 500 in the end which was a bit more evenly matched.

Then ended up buying a cheap Voodoo 5 5500 after they went under (only paid £50 for it).

Sadly both of them went in a dumpster a long time ago. Wish I'd kept them both. I ended up moving to nVidia cards for a while, then had an ATi Radeon. Nowadays I just run a Macbook Air for my personal machine - life got in the way of much gaming!
Some hard problems have remain unsolved in basically every field of human interest for decades/centuries/millennia -- despite the number of intelligent people and/or resources that have been thrown at them.

How to Efficiently Serve Trillions of Parameters for Online Ads Recommendation
I used claude to create a piece of software that can render gerber files (essentially vector files used in electronics manufacturing), overlay another gerber file on top of it with exact alignment, and then provide a GUI for manually highlighting components. The program then calculates the centroid, the rotation, and prompts for a component designator. This all then gets stored in a properly formatted Place file, which is used for automating assembly.

The day before this I was quote $1000/yr/user for software that could do this for us.
It would help if they weren't constantly being fed lies. And be honest here, it isn't just lower education people. I distinctly remember many college graduate peers that were still under the lie that getting a nominal raise may actually result in less take home pay because of taxes. Explaining how brackets work was something that was really frustrating for a time. I worry that it stopped being frustrating just because I stopped doing it. Not that it stopped being needed.
Sarcasm is unbecoming in this particular circumstance.

My understanding is that right now every single building, company, agency, school, etc. in non-occupied Ukraine has a Starlink dish, even aside from the military use.
> There is no reason to not make a proper GUI for pretty much everything

Until you realize there are like 10 competing "standards" for settings, from config files in various incompatible formats in random places (not even obeying the XDG standard paths), to GSettings which is a Windows registry knockoff (and I bet KDE has its own - incompatible - equivalent), etc.

And don't you dare try to centralize all that into a common system - last time someone tried something similar by centralizing system service management with systemd, people lost their shit. Orders of magnitude more effort has been wasted ranting and arguing about it than fixing its issues (if they were real in the first place, and not just theoretical or outright made up).
I’m surprised it even needs to be said, but the government arbitrarily revoking visas (and, eventually, citizenships) for speech and behavior unpalatable to the regime is far worse than firings related to social media outrage. Cancel culture will not cause your entire life to get uprooted or get you thrown in some ICE blacksite. And however you may feel about social pressure, cultural compliance enforced by an elite embedded in the government is a much bigger threat to our freedoms.

Unfortunately Qwant has received major investments from Axel Springer which makes it an absolute no-go for me.

Yeah it's a general rule, there are some exceptions, but they're less common than is worth challenging this claim for. Some drinks would be too strong to be made from a double, these will use a split single in countries where doubles are the norm. The second shot will end up wasted unless someone else is ordering the same exact drink or ordering a single espresso (also rare outside of Italy and some other countries). I've seen it but most customers prefer to see bigger drinks these days so most cafes don't usually face this problem and make drinks from double shots.

For reference, I use a 36g shot (basically 36ml if you wait for the crema to dissipate) for a 170ml "flat white" at home. This achieves a balanced strength for this kind of drink. You really have to get into the tiny drink category before you really reach the realm of "this is too strong and I must use a split single". And, in those cases, due to the fact of the double shot (and, I would struggle to come up with "sources" but it's again generally accepted that unless you can use the second split shot for a drink immediately, it goes down the sink), you are still often using a double worth of coffee for a single shot drink.
Show HN: Editable Games
I made an animation programming language that you can type into a textarea. I make little games with it. Now other people can customize the games I make with it.

I've been working on canvas language for 15 years now. Not very successful, but editable gifs turned out okay. Since it's my passion, I keep trying, and my latest is editable games - I'm not officially calling it that though.

I've had some interest in advergames and this would allow designers to easily customize games for their clients - the hidden objects game being the best example for this, and the only one made specifically for the purpose.

Anyways, games are interpreted at runtime by JavaScript. To publish, for example on itch or your own website, you need to submit your project file (download it from the dev studio) and wait a few minutes. You'll get back a JS file that contains your game.

ngl, although a passion project, I'd like this to one day be profitable - trying to work that out.

If interested, the main project site is https://canvaslanguage.com

I'd love to get some feedback. Although to be honest, I just want to show somebody my newest creation :)

Thank you.

Tier 1 is default alive and thriving. They don't need the smartest people. They need people who do not screw up. Someone who's willing to spend 3-6 months cramming interview questions is also someone who is unlikely to drop the ball.

Startups are the opposite. They are default dead. If they hire good enough people, they die. They need exceptional, hungry people. The kind of people who abhor busywork. Startups will pull much lower quality on average and paying higher rates drastically increases the odds of death. So their hope is to get lucky on an exceptional junior. They're also more willing to fire fast instead of doing some odd layoff down the line.

Basically Tier 1 will bias towards minimal false positives, and startups will bias towards minimal false negatives. Most companies are somewhere in the middle, default dead in 30 years or so.

Tier 1 also has a huge funnel and they hire lots of people so they need it. A lot of junk gets into the funnel because of the sheer size of it. They need that 1 out of 300, so they just layer enough filters to hit that rate.

Tier 2 companies who need to filter 1 out of 50 should not be adopting Tier 1 practices. Startups probably have like 10 applicants and 6 of them can't do FizzBuzz. But they still need to filter, even if sometimes they end up with 0.
I have had three experiences like this in my life:

1. PC Speaker -> Sound Blaster: Most games that I had were instantly upgraded

2. Doom: my first "real" fluid 3D experience, with stairs, etc, compared to maze-like maps in Wolfenstein

3. Software Rendering -> 3dfx (Canopus Pure3D): Transparent water surfaces in Quake (if you re-vis'd the maps), smooth and fluid visuals, it was amazing.

The closest thing to this, in modern gaming, has been the boss fights in Elden Ring: https://i.imgur.com/gzLvsLw.mp4 -- visually, they are quite epic.
There was a gain in precision going from phone call to app. There is a loss of precision going from app to voice. The tradeoff of precision for convenience is rarely worth it.

Because if it were, Uber would just make a widget asking "Where do you want to go?" and you'd enter "Airport" and that would be it. If a widget of some action is a bad idea, so is the voice command.

If you can't receive signals from the GPS satellites because some country's military is jamming them, how does having an accurate on-board clock help?

Are they somehow able to determine position via dead reckoning? How does that account for errors from wind, vibration, etc. and compounding of errors over time? (I'm pretty sure dead reckoning is not a closed-loop system)

"Miniaturize a very accurate clock" seems like a fairly straightforward engineering challenge. "I can give you clocks as precise as you need, now design me a system that can give your coordinates in thick fog without GPS or any other external radio signals" seems like a much harder one.
