How I answered before, I started working on a router for DRF/Django integration, but Django's project structure made it surprisingly tricky to implement cleanly. I keep it in my mind.
Oh yea absolutely. But like you’re saying in your edit it might take a long time to get there. I think also in order to get there we have to acknowledge where we are.
I just learned via your post the term "sight reading" in English. French words and expressions when it comes to music are very different.

Non-AI Software Licenses
The elephant in the room with LLMs is that they're used to launder GPL code, reuse it without giving credit to the authors and without giving users their rights to inspect and modify the software.

This repo does not yet have a NON-AI GPL or AGPL license. Any lawyers here?

One of the members of the team is barely doing anything and survives by constantly asking others to help with doing the job. This reducea productivity of other employees.

A known archetype in many jobs, not only programming.

Yet we get comments like this:

> you don´t have the necessary competence to validate your suspicion about one of them not getting work done, coasting off of others

Wow.

In any other job, a manager ir HR will just read your chats, emails + demand to document calls - and guess what. It can be found. In a very not very subtle way.

Also the problem above is like managememt 101?
For all the talk about "no technical competence" you dont seem to have any managerial competence.

Also the agile idea that developers keep each other to professional standars is a nice fairy tale (like whole agile in general).
Hahaha, amazing story. I've never heard about this before. This also implies that anyone putting the disc inside an audio player could listen to the South Park episode.

My quick feedback / first impressions

One benefit of an algorithmic feed is that it works as as social proof in showing me that other people are actually using the site. Since your site doesn't have a feed apparently by design, you'll need some way of showing me (quickly!) that this is a living, breathing website that people actually use, otherwise it feels like I'm shouting into the void.

Another benefit of a feed is that I can immediately see how my activities and updates will look to other people. But it's not clear during onboarding how things will look to others, let alone who can see my profile and activity. Can any other user view my profile, or is it just a select cohort of hiring managers? Can I even interact with other users on this site who aren't hiring managers?

Next, after I import my resume and setup my profile, I am asked (I think) to write some sort of an article or essay with AI assistance. This step wasn't very clear, but even if it were, this is a huge ask for someone who just started using your site. The first ask should be something much less ambitious, and probably would benefit from gamification to make it feel less like homework

Finally, I clicked on the explore button to try to find folks to connect with. I gave a detailed description of the personas I'm interested in to the bot, and ended up getting a "No matching Candidates found" message. I think you should at least show me something, especially when I can't seem to do a regular search / browse manually -- or suggest better queries

Anyway, I know it's an MVP, and I see answers to some of my questions on your about page, but just offering this as food for thought. The overall onboarding was smooth and I appreciate the resume import experience, and I think you have a strong visual identity. Curious to see where you end up taking this
Absolutely. It will be a while before AI is the absolute replacement, AI will enable the people in these professions to do faster, better (hopefully) work.
Can I have some?
https://fingerprint.com/ seems to provide a very resilient way to identify repeat visitors
Hopefully the next volunteer extends the work of their predecessor, instead of starting from scratch.

In theory, reputation signals from 'awesome' lists and HN threads could inform search engines, LLMs and app market analytics.
It's sad that you get downvoted for providing solutions.
Ironically, a good user candidate for this type of service could be a dissident fleeing North Korea. They'll need some way to move their wealth out of the country.

The North Korean government, being a state actor, will always find ways to move money around with or without crypto.

Ordinary North Koreans on the other hand could use a service like this to keep their wealth away from the hands of their repressive govt.
Now that I think about it I remember these things which used a storage tube and really could show a whole screenful of text

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tektronix_4010

which I think you could have made a word processor for even though it couldn’t scroll. I remember drawing charts on it though, not looking at a lot of text. I think the one I used was side-by-side with a WYSE terminal that was VT-something compatible.
Phew, good thing that things many people think are problems but that benefit large businesses always get made illegal. We’d be in a real pickle if that weren’t the case.
Are you comfortable with sharing the URL of your blog?

I find the idea interesting, but also puzzling -- If you work at a commercial company on proprietary software, like most of software engineers, there is very limited amount of things you can talk about work and not leak proprietary/internal information. Otherwise, you need to work enough outside work to have things you can talk about freely. I don't want to have a blog where it's all opinion and no concrete details, like my meaningless comments on HN. How do you manage to post "useful" things on a personal blog?
Are you a drug developer by trade? You certainly think like someone who’s seen some SARs…
Nope, but you can’t buy property with literal cash, crypto, or precious metals anymore. In Germany people use SEPA payments as the primary means to transfer money, and that is the intended way to handle big transactions.
This is bullshit. Drug research costs money, A LOT OF MONEY. A new drug right now costs somewhere around $5 billion, mostly because 90% of drugs fail in trials.

mRNA vaccines, semaglutide, mAB therapies, none of these would have happened without patents as an incentive.
Very cool! I'd be curious what you think of Modartt's recent attempts at physical models of organs and how they compare to more traditional sampler approaches.

The hope is to provide guidance for town planning.

A return to local farms, animal labor, barter economics, cooperation, etc.
would be the basis for a model. On the other hand we have a lot more refined
materials readily available such as aluminum, copper, steel, etc.

This used to be true historically.

This is awesome. I'm no drummer but have always loved percussion in general, so just had a lot of fun playing around.

My only tip would probably be a way to click (right-click since left-click is used?) the abbreviation for each instrument to hear it play once, or when you place a beat have it play that instrument once. The guide for which abbreviation is which instrument is above the fold when actually placing notes, so it's lots of scroll back/forth checking what's what again.
This leads to big units of code, namely multiple OSes, whereas the ideal is being able to use as finely granular units as developers are able to stomach. For example, Xen can work around the issue of device drivers by hosting a minimal OS instance that has drivers, but it is better to be able to run drivers as individual processes. This reduces code duplication and performance overhead.
> We still don't have a single theorem proved and published by a LLM without human aid.

I'm pretty sure that by "do math" the parent was referring to applying math, as one would do in the course of other tasks, and not mathematical research, just as by "code" they likely referred to writing code to solve a problem and not to algorithmic research.

And from my experience teaching & tutoring both math and programming at various levels, I would absolutely agree with the claim that AIs like Claude 3.7 Sonnet surpass over 99% of humans at typical short tasks.

It'll probably take some more time until context, memory and tool-use are improved sufficiently to allow AIs to tackle longer-term tasks effectively, but I'm sure it'll get there. And just as an example of progress, there was recently a post about the first "fully AI-generated paper to pass peer review without human edits or interventions" [0].

Yes, a “Sum” type in Type Theory
some of Windows uses 0 to mean success, and some of Windows doesn't.

In cases where there is only one successful result, 0 makes sense. Then nonzero can be a range of error codes. In cases where there is multiple successful results and only one failure, 0 means failure; malloc() is the stereotypical example of this.

I don't understand how Von Der Leyen got "elected" again then, given her horrible performance, and that only a 37% of Europeans views her favourably[0]. The catastrophic situation we find ourselves in developed under her commission, after all.

> The way to hold them accountable is during elections.

Given that VDL was elected by the EU parlament with secret ballot, how do I know which MEP voted her, so that I can vote someone else at the next EU elections?

> Well there’s your problem: no one can make money off of it

You can patent new applications of an existing drug. This has been somewhat of a problem, as companies can just look at how drugs are being used off-label, and patent some of these uses.
It isn't even that complex an idea, you laid it out in 1 sentence. "If they have a backdoor, then their adversaries will eventually have it, too". They understand that just fine. If anything, you're the one who doesn't understand although I'd not push the point because the rules around political debate are weird and you might be humouring them.

The people in government have a hierarchy of threats. Social challenges from within their own nation always higher than those from foreign countries. Most politicians are perfectly happy to sacrifice national security to be able to see what their citizens are saying, they just won't articulate it in plain language because it sounds bad.

We can tell this because they're signing off on narratives around being "the good guys". Anyone pushing that sort of narrative spin isn't a good guy. That isn't how law enforcement works in practice and anyone in high political power knows it if they have even a shred of intellectual honesty; they've seen how the sausage is made and are well aware that the real world is all various shades of what happens when a family breaks down and siblings start fighting with each other.

I am cursed with enough musical memory that if I learn a piece from sheet music, my sight reading literally turns off and I play from some combination of muscle memory and ear. That might sound like a humblebrag, but it's not -it's quite frustrating to "work on reading" and then realize I'm not actually getting better at reading. When I come back to the material later, the short-term musical memory has usually faded and I'm starting over.

That's what comes from playing simpler rock stuff by ear/memory for many years and then moving to large amounts of material which can't be done only by ear.

My solution is to have a large amount of unfamiliar material and just open to a random page and start working things out.
I think one of the reasons they’re able to tell you that is due to the pretty neat setup they have for hosting it: https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com/about/the-solar-website/

Divide the total energy consumption over a time period by the total number of page views and you get a decent first cut. That doesn’t factor in the transit or the end device that is viewing those pages but it’s a neat metric to start at.
Simple. There is photographic evidence, and eyewitness accounts, by a celebrated journalist ego happens to be a friend of mine.

If you're able to define a clear metric to objectively differentiate between "bullshit jobs" and "real productivity", you'll probably nab a Nobel in Economics.
LLMs, but Only Because Your Tech Sucks
You assume management optimizes poorly for desiderata you share.

You also assume by "smart" I intend no pejoration.

Were you to hear me speak these words, rather than read them as here typed, the latter point at least would need no clarification. Unfortunately, text like this is salt without savor.
Humanity fails that question an embarrassingly large number of times.
This is fantastic — simple, fun, and with just the right vibe for exploring ideas quickly. I love how focused it is: no clutter, just straight into the groove.

Do you see this staying as a passion project, or are you considering a business model at some point ?
I disagree. But I think we are operating on a different premise. My critique is wider and includes capitalism as a system, too much to cover in a reply on HN but idealogically it boils down to entitled thinking where people feel they are the protagonist and somehow "unique" among all other human beings and then expect to become a landlord for ideas. There are lots of ways to create capital and profit without being a patent troll.

Yeah, I tried that, but it doesn't work well with git-lfs (large file storage). At least, it didn't last time I tried.

It sounds like this was precisely the situation, and the author's company did indeed take this very action, in response to seeing the data. So, what is your complaint?
The hypervisor/microkernel boundary has blurred, and commercial success for microkernels is more or less as hypervisors, e.g. OKL4 is widely used in mobile devices[0]. And Tanenbaum's Minix is used for the Intel Management Engine. I don't know the details with HURD, but I don't think it is mainly suffering from "inherent" or "nearly-inherent" (strongly associated) problems of microkernels. The main cost of microkernels is developer effort and likely performance overhead.

Seriously? It's basically Microsoft-flavoured Java, and has much of the same horrid verboseness and architecture-astronaut overcomplexity.

For the US I think all fines and seized money should go to the social security administration.
It makes me wonder how other open-source developers feel when their products are used by big corporations that pay nothing for them but generate tons of cash.
People have been saying that since the start, too, albeit about different models. It never felt revolutionary; the moment I asked about a particularly gnarly recursive generic type problem, or something that requires insights from across the code base, it was just rubbish from all models. Good to finish the line I wanted to write, bad at creating software.

Autism, low social and emotional intelligence, weak theory of mind, inability to read and anticipate the emotional states of others.

I looked it up, and twin studies say sexual orientation is party genetic, but it's far from the only factor.

So at most a perfect genetic test could give a percentage chance of someone being gay/straight.

Before it all started, back in the early 2010s, I read about High Frequency Trading, and it sounded super interesting. I wanted to understand how it worked. Without knowing anything about it, I thought I could simply get a Xilinx dev board and start using Verilog to build a hardware appliance for fast trades. Little did I know that a cheap dev board with limited logic gates wasn’t even enough to fit an Ethernet IP, let alone the challenges of using Verilog. I soon realized that it's probably more suited for electrical engineers (EEs) than software engineers (SWEs).
Usually for consumer electronics, lifetime energy usage is negligible, so the carbon footprint is that for producing the device --- last time I looked into it, an e-book reader was slightly more than a hardcover book:

The vast majority of trees which are cut for paper pulp are quick-growing loblolly pines which will be re-planted almost immediately, larger, older, nicer trees are usually cut for lumber, so one should be able to let the 8.85 pounds figure stand for paper products w/o concern for deforestation.

Here's a page which indicates most CO_2 production is for energy:
http://www.eia.doe.gov/oiaf/1605/ggrpt/carbon.html

And here's a page which indicates that CO_2 production is a much larger problem for the manufacturing of electronics:
http://www.energybulletin.net/node/49730
w/ a ratio of 12 to 1 for energy usage to weight, so my PRS-505 weighs roughly 9 ozs., so presumably required 108 ounces of fuel to manufacture (on-going energy usage is not considered)
http://www.epa.gov/oms/climate/420f05001.htm
gives us a figure of 19.4 pounds of CO_2 per gallon of gasoline which equals roughly 16.36875 pounds of CO_2 to make the ebook reader.

So getting two books for the Sony should make it roughly break even, and each printed book beyond that which is not purchased should result in a net reduction of CO_2 emissions, since the energybulletin.net page indicates that the embodied energy usage for electronics is much greater than the lifetime usage
Why would you want to avoid side effects, other than making it less hard for the next developer working on the code to understand how it works? Nature uses side effects all the time, and is widely considered to work pretty well.
I take deep issue with this argument as if improving the lives of others isn't enough of an incentive. Ask most scientists whether they got into it for the money and you'll have your answer.
The Internet Archive currently does "host a clone of the CDC site as it existed before Trump took office". Everyone on IA knows, or could find out very easily, that they are viewing of an older version of the site.

The NGO group publishing this website seems to be intentionally misrepresenting the site as the actual CDC. They have altered the information contained on the page to push a specific message that is not backed up by science as understood by the CDC, whose website they are impersonating. The page is designed in such a way to ensure you do NOT know you are not viewing the current CDC.

As this is HN, I'm going to interpret your message in the best possible light. I need to ask a clarifying question:

Does this really seem like a slippery slope to you? Taking down a website designed to impersonate another entity and misrepresent their beliefs will lead to the tyranny taking down the Internet Archive?
You may be able to sing to it but since it's assuming the instrument to be in tune (piano) it may be slightly off and still register since it's estimating which note is most correct.
Who cares what the experts say? Look for yourself and see what applies in your specific situation.
After that experience, I started rebuilding it using Go, Dart, and other languages. Then TypeScript came along, and eventually, it was rewritten in TS. Traditionally, FIX is written in lower-level languages, but there’s definitely an advantage to using TS, as it allows us to generate FIX messages directly in the browser.
