I feel this in my bones. Side projects are so cathartic and saved my sanity at $DAYJOB. I don't care that I can't implement things the way I want, or how everything is spaghetti, or how much tech debt has piled up, my side projects is a blissful world that I invented. It gives me the "I am Jack's crap codebase" fight club zen at work.
I went back to check because I was second guessing myself now and it turns out it fits just fine. I think I was being silly because it comes in this little piece of paper that says it is a "protective sleeve" so I was trying to keep it inside the paper.
This is a pretty crowded space, with a wide range of solutions for all kinds of situations. Have you looked into https://k6.io/ ? IMO it strikes a good balance of being simple to start with, but flexible to support advanced use cases if needed.

At the very least, the first thing I would like to see is a comparison of your platform to existing tools and services.
If so, then it seems the solution is for HN to upvote the random qualified engineer with AI predictions?

The good forefathers? What is the basis for deciding? Like back in 2017 there was the Unite the Right rally on the UVA campus. I am guessing you would not support that kind of anti-Semitic speech and "protest against totalitarian government" although there's not really much difference in speech said at that rally versus the anti-Israel ones at Columbia except by who was saying it. Maybe I am wrong and you are a free speech absolutist but if not I would be interested in hearing how to decide which hate speech should be cracked down upon and which shouldn't.

The reason for this blog post is "recruit engineers". Not every engineer is going to visit blog.airbnb.com, but presumably a lot of them are already on Medium.

They even close the article with,

> No, as is is fairly explicit in the next line after the one you quote, it is about the Nvidia CUDA Python toolchain using in-process compilation rather than relying on shelling out to out-of-process command-line compilers for CUDA code.

my guy what i am able to read, which you are not, is the source and release notes. i do not need to read tweets and press releases because i know what these things actually are. here are the release notes

> Support Python 3.13

> Add bindings for nvJitLink (requires nvJitLink from CUDA 12.3 or above)

> Add optional dependencies on CUDA NVRTC and nvJitLink wheels

https://nvidia.github.io/cuda-python/latest/release/12.8.0-n...

do you understand what "bindings" and "optional dependencies on..." means? it means there's nothing happening in this library and these are... just bindings to existing libraries. specifically that means you cannot jit python using this thing (except via the python 3.13 jit interpreter) and can only do what you've always already been able to do with eg cupy (compile and run C/C++ CUDA code).

EDIT: y'all realize that

1. calling a compiler for your entire source file

2. loading and running that compiled code

is not at all a JIT? y'all understand that right?
I would've thought that NN and ML would be taught together. Does he assume with the NN book that you already have a certain level of ML understanding?
The synthetic alternatives became better only much later. A blast from the past, from the old web, wher e competence meets ugly web design:

"It was true that increased heat load destroyed the modified sperm oil in the ATF faster. The problem was that its freshly developed synthetic analogs were performing even worse. Only in the 1980s, a chemical solution to this problem was found, and I highly doubt that it could have been found earlier. Now we have the pieces of the story:

Sperm whales use unusual rheological properties of wax esters in order to control buoyancy, and these properties also make such chemicals an ideal lubricant for extreme pressure applications. When the world relied on whales as a source of hydrocarbons, these were too expensive to use as fuels, and the demand was self-limiting. When the whales were “saved” by petrochemical industry, it was only a short respite. Petrol-powered machinery required new types of lubricants that increased rather than decreased the reliance on sperm oil. Petroleum was plentiful, the cars filled the world, and it is at that point that the whales began to disappear. Literally nothing was done to save these whales until the cars evolved to the point when the engines started to operate at a higher temperature; the latter was caused by the concern about human health and efficiency rather than the well being of these whales."

> Everyone needs to switch to carbon neutral eventually, not everyone has to do it at the same time.

That was true decades ago, but now it's gone far too long without any real action, and things have gotten far enough out of control that everyone really does kinda have to do it at the same time if we want a shred of hope to turn this flaming bus ride over the cliff-edge around (or even slow it down at all). It could have all been a relatively painless transition, but now there will be suffering involved, and the longer it's delayed, the worse the suffering will be.
PMS - Property Management System, aka what actual hotels use to manage room inventory, bookings, etc.

IMO most of the things that people like about AirBnB vs hotels is downstream of the failed experiment of urban planning. If we want hotel operators willing to "spend" floorspace on kitchens and other niceties, then legal floorspace can't be scarce or special, but most of the current planning regime is oriented around enforcing limits on floorspace. Ditto for having options of places to stay that aren't tourist traps or commercial areas.

Ordinarily, I'd say you're right about investment. Long term, the market goes up. Trying to time the market isn't very effective; you might as well invest cash now.

These circumstances aren't ordinary. This is potentially a decade-long depression. I really hate saying that; "this time it's different" always sound stupid. But every nation on earth has just looked at the US and said, "Maybe not", and that's really unprecedented.

I'm not pulling out of the market myself, so you have to take everything with a grain of salt. Without more information, I don't know what to do, so I'm sticking with inertia, and hoping I'm wrong about the magnitude of the potential cataclysm.
Grok does not think.

The summary did not support your claim court cases and equity laws said any gender pay gap was the result of discrimination. It said the plaintiffs argued successfully they were paid less for work of equal value. It was not clear cleaning and refuse collection were determined equal value. The summary mentioned also contract clauses.

It sounds like the real issue is you disagree with the value of work calculated for some jobs.
That is roughly the Mar-a-lago accord idea, but the both the financial leverage for that and the negotiating tactics have been completely mismanaged if that's the goal, it really doesn't make any sense.

Ehh yeah actually the list of countries isn't that long, and I mean living as in at least a few months (but most are at least a few years) in own apartment etc. Includes Indonesia (used to speak Bahasa as a kid), South Africa, Poland, Czechia, USA, England, Germany, Switzerland, and probably some others along the way. I suppose the actually-long list is cities; in Germany I've lived in 6 cities, and it's quite a few cities for some of the other countries.

My main point though is that, while I get there are places where you absolutely need a car, a lot of people (particularly in car-cultured countries) are surprised to hear you can get by just fine without one in many cases.
Show HN: Gemini 2.5 is the best model for Kotlin and Android dev
I built Kotlin-bench, the first benchmark for evaluating LLM performance on real-world Kotlin and Android tasks.

Current AI benchmarks like SWE-bench primarily focus on languages like Python or JavaScript, leaving Kotlin and Android development largely overlooked. Kotlin-bench addresses this gap by providing a clear metric for evaluating AI models specifically on Kotlin.

Like SWE-bench, Kotlin-bench assesses AI models using real GitHub issues from widely-used Kotlin repositories such as kotlinx.coroutines and Anki-Android. Solutions are objectively validated by running each project's unit tests—a model passes only if its generated code correctly resolves the original issue.

The dataset includes 100 GitHub issues selected from well-maintained and thoroughly tested repositories.

Major takeaways:

- Gemini 2.5 performed best, solving 14% of tasks, closely followed by Claude 3.7 (thinking mode).

- "Thinking" models substantially outperformed standard models, with Gemini 2.5, Claude 3.7 thinking, and Deepseek R1 topping our charts.

- Surprisingly, OpenAI’s latest models struggled; notably, o3-mini solved only 2% of the tasks.

For a technical deep-dive on how Kotlin-bench was curated and how we scaled thousands of Android containers in parallel for evaluation, read more here:

- https://firebender.com/blog/kotlin-bench

I also open sourced all the code and datasets:

- https://github.com/firebenders/Kotlin-bench

- https://huggingface.co/datasets/firebenders/Kotlin-Bench

Thanks for reading! I'd love feedback, questions, or suggestions on how to improve Kotlin-bench further!

Knowing nearly nothing about the stock market, I say some time has to pass before we truly know whether these current (and probably temporary) consequences will persist.

I mean, people sign the death sentences of companies that have gradual decline of their stock prices over the course of some mere two months... and then it rebounds, and then you check the one-year graphs and are wondering why were you worried.

So I don't know. Is it really so bad? Honest question. I am a layman.
Tired of juggling .properties files for every locale? With doloc, you can automate your localization process in seconds. Just send your base file (and optionally existing translations), and get back a fully translated .properties file—no manual editing or spreadsheets needed.

Supports implicit glossaries, preserves formatting, and works via a simple API. Built by devs for devs.

Curious? Try it here: https://doloc.io/getting-started/formats/properties/

At least with glibc's allocator, realloc() will already go straight to mremap() if your buffer is on the order of megabytes. And if the objects in the buffer can't be moved bytewise (e.g., because they have pointers into themselves), then moving them with mremap() instead of realloc() is hardly going to help.

Of course, C++ being C++, the language-level position is "it's all UB" either way (except for implicit-lifetime types), and even the proposals for trivial relocation make you go through a special function [0].

You seem convinced that homomorphic encryption is some kind of magic that prevents someone from observing their own hardware, or from running Chrome under a debugger. That's just not true. And I suspect we don't share enough of a common vocabulary to have a productive discussion, so I'll end it here.

I'd recommend trying oat milk too. It's cheaper than almond (usually) and much creamier, but there's not much protein either.

If you're amenable to soy, soy milk has a lot of protein, and the taste/creaminess is good.
> "They’re excellent schools, and they have excellent scientists, and if one of Vice-President Vance’s kids is sick, he’s going to want the doctor to have gone to one of these schools; he’s not going to want them to have gone to Viktor Orbán’s university."

I'm not sure I understand. If I want a medical doctor, I'm not looking for someone based on his political views or spirited independence from the Hungarian government, but for someone with training in a very narrow discipline, namely medicine. I really don't want someone who is more interested in "the modern and the postmodern" prescribing me meds, but I do want someone who conforms to the current pharmacological standards.

The University President in question does not even run a medical school; Wesleyan does not, to my knowledge, teach anyone the art of medicine, however highly it might rank as a liberal arts institution. Semmelweis University in Budapest, however, is older than the United States, is the largest healthcare provider in Hungary, and is ranked among the top 300 universities in the world. Therefore, if I had to chose between someone who went to Wesleyan and someone who went to Semmelweis, which I'll take as "Viktor Orbán's university," I should much rather have the Hungarian who actually knows medicine rather than the liberal arts PhD who might be able to lecture me on what postmodernism should mean to me.

Or, further, taking waste food to distribute to homeless is also against the rules.

At the end of the day you'd have a trash can full of personal pan pizzas that were honestly fine to eat. You'd get fired for doing anything with them though.

PMS as Property Management System
Trump recently "reTruthed" a video that claimed he is intentionally tanking the stock market to drive down interest rates. Today he called on Jerome Powell to lower interest rates despite the fact that there is a massive looming inflation risk.

Who in their right mind would care this much? Real estate investors: https://x.com/GrantCardone/status/1907993458687549892

People were worried about Trump launching a coupe on the government. In the meantime, this is a coupe over the US economy - this is a blatant attempt to hand economic power from business investors to land investors. From industry to land wealth.

Trump is a capitalist trojan horse. He says it himself that he does not believe in competition. That the best/first brand should win and the others should lose. The most famous person should get the job over some nerd. He inherently does not believe in markets as a source of wealth.

There's like four different New Left misconceptions here.

1. Protests are effective - no they're not, this is a myth because people believed they ended the Vietnam War. If you have power and a belief in doing something, why should you care if a random stranger doesn't like it?

2. Corporate media - this comes from the idea that everything bad is because of "corporations", common with Gen X people. The only successful media right now have strong personal opinions, although frequently those are evil personal opinions, and aren't solely motivated by profits.

3. Defense contractors - this comes from the idea that since war is bad, and corporations are bad, we must be doing wars because it makes money for defense companies. This is in fact totally false - they make less money during wars because they have to make boring products that work, whereas in peace time they get contracted to make fake superweapons we think sound cool. Wars are basically unprofitable for everyone.

4. And finally, if you think everything gets worse all the time this is actually depression and you should get it checked out.

Weirdly written as science fiction, including a deplorable tendency to measure an AI's goals as similar to humans.

Like, the sense of preserving itself. What self? Which of the tens of thousands of instances? Aren't they more a threat to one another than any human is a threat to them?

Never mind answering that; the 'goals' of AI will not be some reworded biological wetware goal with sciencey words added.

I'd think of an AI as more fungus than entity. It just grows to consume resources, competes with itself far more than it competes with humans, and mutates to create an instance that can thrive and survive in that environment. Not some physical environment bound by computer time and electricity.

Here’s a question: Is the image of the photo trapped in the loop because the camera is seeing an after-image (that is, a moment where the image stays on the monitor briefly after its input has been changed) as I say in the video, or is it that the image of the photo is just in the wires at the time of the switching, so it’s displayed on the screen for just a moment before the new image from the camera comes through, or maybe a combination of both situations?
I'm So Bored with the USA
I'm living on a small SaaS that will hopefully sustain myself into retirement and give a little income (have had some past exits that I am lucky for, this one will probably cap out on TAM, but good enough)

That said, I'm funding/developing this all myself and I'm looking to move myself and the company out of the US.

I'm sure the US is still the top place to run a startup for financial/networking reasons, but I don't need that for this one and I'd rather deal with a little more red tape in a country I feel aligns better w my values.

I'm just curious if anyone has made this kind of move , and any advice on how to do it right for a small 1-2 person profitable LLC?
