I'm a software engineer with 5+ years of experience in backend development with expertise in building low-latency applications. I have mostly worked with Java and bit of Python.

Recently, I've been learning Go and been building my Link blog at https://www.anuragk.com/linkblog .

Am primarily looking to work with a smaller team where I can see the impact of my work. Feel free to mail me to discuss more.
Show HN: I got burned by bad NYC rentals, so I built an extension for complaints
I built this after too many bad NYC apartment experiences: leaks, mice, no heat. All things that of course never show up on listings.

Realest is a browser extension that overlays 311 housing complaint data on StreetEasy listings, right in the search results.

It pulls from NYC’s open data and is meant to help renters avoid hidden issues.

Would love feedback!
All of the players in this echelon have contributed massively, and all of them have pretty wild workflows and impressive solutions to technical problems. If we were measuring technical achievement across the broader history of filmed entertainment, there’s a strong case to be made for Disney as the most influential. But when it comes to how content is produced and distributed today, Netflix has definitely invested the most into tackling modern challenges and continues to do so, and these efforts feed directly into the meticulous, end-to-end workflow that’s applied across every production.

There are plenty of people who have worked on Netflix and non-Netflix shows and would would argue that Netflix's workflow and high standards are difficult if you're not used to it yet, or more stringent than they'd like, but very few would deny the end results or technical superiority

In one class I took, we were examining a range of car engines for faults and the task was to get it running.

The rumour was that the previous years class had one engine where the ignition rotor arm wire had been replaced by section of coloured plastic which was covered in the usual grease and crap in the housing.

The instructor was looking for persistence and elimination of possibilities rather than actually solving it. But one team did. As long as you solved the others that was enough to complete the class.
Just wire neurons (human or otherwise) to computers, and see what happens.

I tried the japanese one, as an A1, I can't read/don't know kanji yet, would be nice to have an option to see katakana/hiragana only, an option to have furigana and an option to see the kanji. Also would like an option to save phrases and not just a word. but likes it overall
I wouldn't say it's 90% (although my last quibble regarding percentages in this very thread got downvoted to 0) but it is tedious and sort of difficult because of the tediousness, but not sure I have ever seen any solution for forms that made me say, damn I like working with this.

"The lady doth protest too much, methinks"

None of what you mention contradicts your previous statement, and mine, that they are "opiniated" and "very biased" or that it isn't propaganda according to the dictionary definition I quoted...

Perhaps the issue is that people associate propaganda with false information (which is what you imply). That is not the case.
I had a similar experience in Physics 101 and Chemistry 101. The labs were chaotic and had limited time. If you were even a little bit unlucky it would be impossible to even finish them let alone get remotely decent results.

I'm convinced 60% of the class faked results or copied many results from previous year's students.
There are so many hardware certification programs out there, why doesn't AMD run one to fix this?

Create a "ROCm compatible" logo and a list of criteria. Motherboard manufacturers can send a pre-production sample to AMD along with a check for some token amount (let's say $1000). AMD runs a comprehensive test suite to check actual compatibility, if it passes the mainboard is allowed to be advertised and sold with the previously mentioned logo. Then just tell consumers to look for that logo if they want to use ROCm. If things go wrong on a mainboard without the certification, communicate that it's probably the mainboard's fault.

Maybe add some kind of versioning scheme to allow updating requirements in the future
> Bananas how we're letting these companies use public roads with real humans as testing grounds for driver assistance software.

Do you know a word called Cronyism?

Xi was in a meeting with few Chinese tech leaders just few weeks ago (https://www.reuters.com/world/china/chinas-xi-attends-sympos...), including Xiaomi's leader, probably trying to establish bi-directional support and connections.

Under current desperate climate in China, i.e. unemployment number is creeping up, marriage and childbirth are down..., as well as the fact that Xi likes flashy and fancy stuff, I don't think there is any incentive for the gov to put a limit on how those companies develop. I mean... it's not like the leftist undemocratic communist should have any incentive to do things appropriately for people of different orientations anyways.

In fact, right now in China, criticize such "high-tech" company may lead to serious trouble for the criticizer, given how easy it is for powerful companies to send criticizers to prison for reasons such as "disturb public peace", "hacking" and/or "spread rumor and lies".

Also, let's don't forget Telsa also crash and burns. So it is really tricky to explain to the communist why they must do better.

With that said, I'd like to say that I enjoy living in Norway and I enjoy our tax model and the health care and education system it funds.

I just wish there was as much scrutiny on how the funds are used and as much creativity on getting as much as possible for them as there is scrutiny on how much each of us should pay and creativity around how to tax us more.
Really, all I'm saying, and I reply to my own comment deep in a thread here to do so clearly, is that when someone starts speaking gnomically to you about "enlightenment," you are most wise to keep one hand on your wallet and the other over your drink, and your knees tightly together at all times, until he goes away and bothers someone else...then toss the drink anyway, just in case.
In high school a friend figured out you could map any network drive to your desktop and access it (Windows XP), and since everyone in the entire school district had a username of {last name}{first initial}, you could gain read/write access to anyone’s network drive (essentially “home folder”). He used it to get test answers from teachers, I used it to create (empty) folders named “porn”, “porn 2”, et al.

Anyway when he was caught (a fellow classmate ratted him out) he got 10 days out of school suspension. The VP threatened to call the police… for what offense I’m not really sure. There seems to be a fundamental misunderstanding of cybercrime and cybercrime laws. I mean was it really unauthorized access (they called it “hacking” of course) if his user account literally had permission to map network drives?

They removed the ability for student accounts to map network drives, but the district IT guy was not fired. I really don’t get that. Maybe the union saved him… but dog, everyone knows you can map network drives by right clicking on the desktop. I never thought to try it, but that doesn’t mean the district’s IT SME gets a pass.
$20K for a home battery backup for someone capable of doing DIY would be far larger than what I assume he has built here. AFAIK the cheaper end is around $340 (2016) per kWh at 20 kWh that would be $6,800. In 2025 at $100 per kWh it would be $2K. If it's worth it would largely depending on a persons post tax required rate of return and how long it would take.
I'm the one who did the original benchmarks. My goal is to have a coding assistant that runs fully offline in my basement. A context length of 4096 tokens is actually long enough for this model to generate and refactor a reasonably sized code file. I verified that with a prototype JetBrains plugin before I started the benchmarking. And keep in mind that you don't need to reserve context space for the code that you sent in, because vLLM will handle that with it's KV cache.

But yes, this is purely for a single user setup. And since H100 are optimized for cost-efficient hosting of multiple concurrent users, it's kind of obvious that they are not a good choice here.
The biggest argument against swerving is that if someone else does something stupid and you hit them it's usually their fault, if you avoid them and hit something else it's your fault, unless it's on camera.
This is a really minor point, but "strongly typed" and "statically typed" are not interchangeable terms. In the context of your comments here, you are exclusively interested in the static nature of the type system, rather than anything about the "strength" of it (which is something totally different and inconsistently defined).
Sounds like it is out in a shed.

Also the guy who made this battery pack has the incentive to not burn down his house, whoever made yours has the incentive of one more day on the assembly line… I dunno, wouldn’t judge him too harshly.
You should definitely watch documentaries, as long as you first watch Orson Welles's masterpiece F for Fake as a pre-req. That or Abbas Kiarostami's Close Up. Then you are free to watch as many documentaries as you please.
Although the London Transport Museum is fun (some years back I decided to spend a week in my own capital city as a tourist, staying in a hotel in the centre, all day looking at stuff with tourists - and LTM is one of the things I decided to do) like most museums it does have a lot of stuff it can't display - but unlike most museums those things are sometimes huge like a bunch of buses, so they're not in a back room they're an entire other site, in Acton IIRC, the Depot, which is in fact open this weekend: https://www.ltmuseum.co.uk/whats-on/depot-open-days

SoK: Prompt Hacking of Large Language Models (2024)
I don’t think you fully understand what DEI means and what organisations do to improve in that regard. For instance, masking name (sometimes a good proxy for race) and gender in candidate assessments is a DEI measure and increases representation of marginalised groups. Did you know telescope time for minorities improved when reviewers couldn’t see the name of the scientist in the proposal? That’s DEI.

DEI means to work in removing biases that limit access of minorities to opportunities. When it works, being a white male doesn’t get confused with merit, as it usually is. Lots of people think this is discrimination, because their group isn’t being hired as much as before when, in fact, it’s just the removal of discrimination against others.
To add on to what others are saying:

USBC is a big upgrade for this device because you aren’t likely to carry your proprietary charger around with you. If your battery is running low you could use a laptop charger borrowed from a friend. That’s pretty huge.
> Jobst's side were attempting to say that all reputational harm Mitchell suffered during that period was caused by cheating accusations

The cheating and the other lies and the rampant lawsuits. I agree with that causing almost all the damage. I hadn't even heard of the particular badly substantiated piece among the real stuff.

> (as if being accused of cheating at Donkey Kong is equivalent to being accused of driving someone to suicide)

...no, not as if that. That is not part of the argument.

Mention that you know you are missing dozens of features instead of blaming it on “web standards” would definitely help frame it better. Do you think Vite doesn’t know about web standards? It reads pretty naively.

Also I recommend just not making a web framework. There are many of them, some very similar to Nue. Your effort could be placed on improving what is out there. I suspect that is a lot harder and less fun than just making something new. But if you manage to contribute then you’ll be helping an entire community of people whereas a new web framework will likely see almost no adoption before it is abandoned.
It's insane how the largest conflict in human history is just now passing out of living memory. It's also insane how 1 in 4 Americans under 40 believe the holocaust is a fabrication or exaggeration.
Even as I rather vigorously grumble at the status quo, let it be noted that I celebrate those iconoclasts fighting the good fight all the more for the fact that they are going against the status quo to do so. May their tenacity and creativity ultimately prevail.

>The lesson is taught early and often. It often sort of baffles me when other people are baffled at how often this happens in science,

Math and some sciences have the aura of definitive right and wrong, so even though by college everyone knows the expression "give the answer the teacher wants to hear", they just think in those subjects the teacher has access to absolute answers.

The primary thing taught by our schooling system (and 2nd place isn't even close) is bureaucracy obedience. This has the obvious effects, but one of the subtler ones is deference to "science" as an authority requiring obedience rather than the process of figuring shit out.
> one side starting with a big advantage

I have never played this variant of chess, but on the surface it seems that having both bishops on the same color would be a sizeable disadvantage.

The other randomized pieces (queens and knights) can get to any square, so having two knights start on dark squares, for instance, doesn't seem to really matter.
I learned of these in-band commands at Stanford and created a very short print file to be able to change the status message of any printer on campus. I couldn't push it centrally but I just queued the file into the global print queue and was able to change any printer by walking to it and asking for my print. To not be too disruptive and given the character limits I only ever put in something like "READY FOR CAL" in reference to the Bay area school rivalry. I don't think anyone was ever annoyed by it, or maybe even noticed it beyond the few people I showed it to, but hopefully the statute of limitations has also passed.

> more swelling that we don’t hear about.

I guarantee there is. Device quits working, user doesn't know why, they discard it.

My only swelling incident so far was on a makeup mirror my wife owns. The battery is in a compartment whose door popped off due to the swelling. She asked me only when she couldn't get it to latch again. I looked at it and immediately told her not to plug it in.

Despite the fact that this thing cost hundreds of dollars, and they do sell some spare parts, the battery isn't one - and the battery leads are soldered directly to the circuit board. After some hunting around for a compatible battery (size was a major restriction), I bought it (~$15), cut the connector off, and soldered it to the board.

I tried emailing customer service; never got a reply.
Honestly, when it comes to hacking things together with matplotlib I outsource all of my thinking to chatgpt to do the 80% of doc hunting that is honestly not worth it since everything in matplotlib is labelled inconsistently.
It's funny, because while that's a terrible educational experience, you actually learned some important lessons despite them.

I remember the first time I found out that the software documentation I had been relying upon was simply and utterly wrong. It was so freeing to start looking at how things actually behaved instead of believing the utterly false documentation because the world finally made sense again.

There are, but they are certainly a pain in the ass to work with.

I once had to work on a semi-large Python codebase and got so frustrated that I wanted to port the code to some other language. The best part? I wrote the majority of that codebase myself, just months earlier.

It's well known it in fact isn't, otherwise learning would be impossible. Learning still isn't perfectly understood but one key characteristic is likely modulating synaptic strength (the weights mentioned). Also, yes, every cell and in particular neurons are very complex systems, although synapses themselves have various simplifying properties (specially along the axon, electrical communication really is the main method of communication).
Yes, I agree that it's a big drawback.

Elixir made me more productive and gave me back my love for programming, and I work with it professionally for 9 years now. But the lack of static typing is getting so irritating that I started upping my efforts to get [even] better at Rust lately.

So I agree. It's one of the very top drawbacks of Elixir.
