Tram Case | Hiring Backend, Fullstack & AI Engineers | Remote (LATAM)

Hey — we’re building AI-powered tools to help law firms work faster, smarter, and with less busywork.

Our first module is an AI call center that transcribes and classifies calls to help teams prioritize urgent cases. But that’s just one part — we’re building an end-to-end platform that automates the entire case lifecycle, from intake to resolution.

We’re a small, senior team based in LATAM. You’ll be working directly with the founders and building features from scratch. No layers of approval, no legacy code — just thoughtful product work, shipped fast.

If you're excited about solving real problems, working closely with strong engineers, and being part of something early (but real), we’d love to hear from you.

Our tech stack is : Python, Javascript/typescript

Intel Posts New Linux Kernel Patches to "Hide the Disgusting Turds"
Which of today’s real-time demos or games are you thinking of? The trend over time toward physically based rendering over the last 40 years has been pretty clear and absolute, and your claim is failing to capture that fact. While it’s a little sus to frame all real time graphics programmers has having the same goals, whatever ‘ethos’ does exist in common across all graphics programmers, history demonstrates that it includes the goal to increase physical realism, which I would call reducing the hacking/cheating. Wouldn’t you? Today we have multiple AAA games on the market with path traced global illumination and physically based materials.

No, it's not at all an April Fools' Joke or anything along those lines... An Intel open-source engineer just posted the patch series entitled "hide the disgusting turds" for the Linux kernel.
What about Rust for GPU programming? I wonder why AMD doesn't back such kind of effort as an alternative.

One thing I've learned the hard way is that industry trends -- and the stock valuations that go with them -- can stay irrational far longer than you can imagine.

I mean, I literally excluded snow from “most conditions” and snow is not common most of the year in major North American cities (and is often plowed quickly).
US universities (the usual suspects) have a substantial different approach to industry integration then European one.

Yet, European leaders have not got the memo, and expect the same level of output.
Both are wrong. The "real question" just isn't about this specific case on its own. In a vacuum, this wouldn't really be news in the first place.

The problem is the pattern that this is an example of, and together with all the other cases, it starts to reveal an image of the USA turning into a cleptocracy.

A free and open source software, hardware and firmware PC with a eFPGA
Basically, a QuickLogic Qomu Dev Board plugged into a hub with six USB Type A ports:

* A USB Type A keyboard

* A USB Type A mouse

* A DisplayPort over USB Type C Monitor connected with a USB Type C to USB Type A adapter

* A MicroSD to USB Type C Adapter connected to a USB Type C to USB Type A adapter

* A free and open source wifi or ethernet or lora adapter.

A free and open source SPI Firmware for the Arm Cortex M4F can be developed. The eFPGA's tooling is officially supported with a free and open source Verilog to Bistream toolchain, as opposed to the legal gray area that is FPGA vendors tolerating reverse engineered toolchains, a stance that they might change in the future.

I don't know if the Qomu's EOS S3 chip has the proprietary flexible fusion engine, I'll edit this post once QuickLogic tells me whether it does or doesn't, but the documentation says that if it does have it, the Flexible Fusion Engine is powered off by default, so as long as I don't turn it on, it's free and open source hardware.

I'll make a gplv3 or later OS for it where the Arm core powers up the eFPGA and reconfigures it when necessary for performance. The eFPGA would run a soft core cpu whose instruction set is my programming language source code. My OS will run entirely in Ring 0 and I'll make it programmable with my programming language via voice commands since that chip has a microphone inside. My OS will be for recreational programming. I'll call it eFPGAos-Libre.

Now I know that the Arm Cortex M4F and QuickLogic eFPGA's Architecture are both closed source, so one can't put QuickLogic's eFPGA architecture or derivatives of it or the Arm Cortex M4F or derivatives of it into a chip of theirs without either's permission, but the tooling for both is entirely free and open source.

It comes with 512KB of Sram in the chip, enough for me.
The big players are all investing in building chips themselves.

And probably not putting enough money behind it... it takes enormous courage as a CEO to walk into a boardroom and say "I'm going to spend $50 billion, I think it will probably work, I'm... 60% certain".

I think it's just the best available location in Europe for it. Previously, the same company were doing launches from European territory (French Guiana), but not on continental Europe, which seems to be the new direction.

It goes even further.

Technically, the compilers can choose to make undefined-behavior implementation-defined-behavior instead. But they don't.

That's kind of also how C++ std::span wound up without overflow checks in practice. And my_arr.at(i) just isn't really being used by anybody.

Gave up on marketing, and decided to open-source my content review micro-SaaS
Hello HN, my main idea with Spelltastic is to run a Grammarly scan on the entire website. I never expected it to become successful (it is not), I just made it to learn React + UI/UX development.

After building the product, I found marketing to be a lot harder than building the product (the gap is increasing thanks to "vibe-coding"). I got completely bored with the loop of finding emails from aggregators -> sending cold emails -> maintaining mailing lists, etc. I had this ideological block of not using any cold emailing services or sales people or any other automated way (LinkedIn Automation, Ads, etc), since I hate those. Eventually, I realised that checking for spelling mistakes or grammatical issues is more like a vitamin than a painkiller (for most). I couldn't spend time marketing it properly to web dev agencies or SEO people who may have this as a genuine pain..

So I have decided to open-source the core implementation of Spelltastic, which is a basic workflow involving Puppeteer (to extract and highlight spelling mistakes) and gpt-4o (for spellchecking) + Dashboard to visualise the reports. I am happy to have finally built a good-looking product (I am a backend guy btw) and released it. All thanks to Cursor. More importantly, around 30+ people have used it (mostly indiehackers) to find important mistakes in their content. Check out the repo/product and let me know what you all think. Thanks!
You can believe a stock is overvalued and also believe it will stay that way.
I enjoyed your detailed response, it adds value to this discussion, but I feel you missed the point of my comment.

I am against blanket statements "reduce allocations to reduce GC pressure", which lead people wrong way: they compare libraries based on "allocs/op" from go bench, they trust rediculous (who allocates 8KB per iteration in tight loop??) microbenchmarks of sync.Pool like in the article above, hoping to resolve their GC problem. Spend considerabe amount of effort just to find that they barely moved a needle on GC times.

If we generalize then my "avoid long-lived allocations" or yours "reduce allocation rate in terms of bytes" are much more useful in practice, than what this and many other articles preach.
> but if you have to exempt like 99% of your population from a law then its probably not too popular a concept

It is hard to take this seriously. Are you seriously suggesting that the threshold is set at this level because of unpopularity rather than the power of the extremely wealthy? Have you looked at how the threshold has changed over time, and why?
I used to hear the same kind of rhetoric from Republicans a lot. They are destroying this or that or the other. "Oh, what specific things? What executive order?" - Usually nothing but handwaving.

This letter presents itself in exactly the same way, regardless of underlying substance. "The administration is engaging in censorship" is useless as persuasion.

If you want to persuade people that don't naturally agree with your politics, you have to be specific.

It's always scary, no matter how innocuous. I'm glad it did not escalate into something else for you!

Without getting too deep into it, there are some things I know how to do with computers that I probably shouldn't, so my thought is this; if I, a random idiot who just happened to learn a few things, can do X, then someone smarter than me who learned how to attack a target in an organized way probably has methods that I cannot even conceive of, can do it easier, and possibly without me even knowing. It's this weird vacillation between paranoia and prudence.

For me, it's really about acknowledging what I know I don't know. I do some free courses, muck about with security puzzles, etc, even try my own experiments on my own machines, but the more I learn, the more I realize I don't know. I suppose that's the draw! The problem is when you learn these things in an unstructured way, it's hard to piece it all together and feel certain that you have covered all your vulnerable spots.
Join | Sr/Staff Golang/DB Developer | Remote (USA, Canada) | full-time | $175k – $205k/yr + equity

Hey, I'm an engineering manager at Join. We build collaboration tools for huge construction projects: think stadiums, hospitals, research facilities, etc. Our customers (GCs) love us and their customers (owners) love us so we're getting cool network effects out of that.

I'm looking for a senior/staff Golang/DB developer who has a bunch of tools in their belt, knows their tradeoffs, and /wants/ to share their knowledge with midlevels and help them avoid some of the scars you've accumulated over the years. :)

The full job description (along with my email) is at https://join.build/company/careers-sse/

If you're curious about anything, either reply or email me.
That doesn't mean you go and deliberately make it worse for a laugh.
My first time on the internet was on HP-UX machines at my mom's work (BNR or Bell Northern Research - a large telecom research department that was one of the eventual precursors to Nortel). She often had to work weekends and would haul my brother and me in, where we'd surf the early 1990s internet or play netrek, so I have a soft spot for it.

I admin'd some HP-UX machines for a hot minute in the early 2000s. It pretty much cancelled out any goodwill, but I do sometimes think back with nostalgia for the workstations.
Education stuff is more of a political talking point than reality. In reality US education spending per student has continually increased and is always near the top of the world. As of 2019 we're 4th in the world for spending on elementary/secondary spending $15,500 per student contrasted against $11,300 for the OECD average. [1] Of course we are having increasingly poor educational outcomes in spite of spending more, more, and more. So if there is a causal relationship between the reversal of the Flynn Effect and poor educational outcomes, it would seem much more likely that the former is causing the latter.

And I'm certain one could trivially dig up data correlating the decline of IQ in New York to fluoridation. The Flynn Effect reversal began in the 90s, and New York began fluoridating their water in 1965, so there's an excellent age correlation there. But that correlation does not necessarily mean causation. What matters are more controlled studies determining definitively whether fluoride is intellectually harmful by using fluoride levels in urine to control for various confounding variables (people in the same regions getting fluoride from multiple sources, consuming more/less products with fluoride, etc). And we do have those studies, and the answer is yes it is.

That certainly doesn't mean it's the sole cause for the reversal of the Flynn Effect as its seen across the developed world, and many countries do not add fluoride to their water. But it is likely a contributing factor. In recent decades we have begun moving far faster than we're capable of evaluating the consequences of, and long-term consequences may well be stacking from multiple sources of mistakes.

This is the difference between Jensen and Su. It’s not that Jensen is a risk taker. No. Jensen focused on incremental growth of the core business while slowly positioning the company for growth in other verticals as well should the landscape change.

Jensen never said… hey I’m going to bet it all on AI and cuda. Let’s go all in. This never happened. Both Jensen and Su are not huge risk takers imo.

Additionally there’s a lot of luck involved with the success of NVIDIA.

TL;DR: By sheer force of will it is possible to ignore whatever socioeconomic forces have destroyed the previous generation’s great cultural works.

Well sure, it’s possible. But the dominant market & cultural forces win out in the long run. There are modern oil painters doing art that is technically better than “the masters”, but nobody knows their names because they’re orders of magnitude short of critical mass.

Always strange to see an author (I think Unsong was self-published? I don’t recall) act so callous towards the copyright of another artist. Perhaps it’s the change in media that makes it feel okay to him.
