Ask HN: Are you anxious about AI existential risk? 6 by arisAlexis | 10 comments on Hacker News. I find myself thinking more and more about it. I read the book Superintelligence back in 2020 and that seemed a bit far in the future. I am now in the process of realizing we are running a massive risk very soon and things are getting hotter every day. Planning and other stuff become more stoic exercises than anything else. I would also like to put an extra data point. The ex-CEO of the current medium we are discussing has explicitly talked about the real possibility that AI kills us all.

Ask HN: Impact of recent AI technology on low level programming 3 by hnthrowaway0328 | 0 comments on Hacker News. Hi experts, By saying low level programming I most mean: - Embedded software - Reverse engineering - OS kernel, driver dev - Complier dev - etc. that is low level in common sense (e.g. Hobbyist APPLE ][ dev) What kind of impact recent AI tech do you think will have on those fields? I'm thinking maybe it's going to help a lot with boilerplate code and maybe also help reverse engineering (I think we already have a lot of automation in this field). What others are in your mind?

Ask HN: How did Mira Murati rise to OpenAI's CTO role? 4 by eclectic29 | 0 comments on Hacker News. Based on her LinkedIn profile she doesn't seem to have much experience in ML/AI and barely any experience in programming. She seems to have played the role of product manager most of the time. How does someone like her rise to CTO? Genuinely curious. I've aspired to be CTO but have been repeatedly told that the position needs a mix of business, technical and management acumen. How did she acquire all of this so fast? Is she wicket smart?

Google just shut down our $1M business 10 by jasonwen | 8 comments on Hacker News. We have just received an email from Google that we still violate their Google policies and they will not reinstate our account. This is not a post to get sympathy but rather a story why it was closed and how HN played a role in this. I’ve been browsing HN for a decade now and somewhere I read on HN that people lose their online account and everything associated with their account. This has stuck with me and at one point I thought to create a second Google ads account to make sure our main Google ads account was able to keep running if the other account somehow received a violation. Just a pure spread-your-risks decision. After we decided to move into Germany with our eco-friendly brand, I used the second Google ads account to create German ads on a new Shopify hosted .de domain. The ads would target by geo location, consumers in Germany, so that there would be no overlap with our main market. After a co...

Ask HN: Fellow dads, I need help with a baby monitor (electronics question) 3 by herodoturtle | 5 comments on Hacker News. Fellow dads, Our baby monitor is rated for 6 volts, and comes with an appropriate adaptor. In my part of the world, electricity supply is unreliable (we get cut off for a couple hours at a time). As such, we've gotten used to using these little Lithium Ion battery kits to power small appliances (such as the WiFi router) - they work great! I have a spare little battery kit as described above, and it has two voltage output options, namely 5 volts and 7 volts (I can select between the two with a switch). The baby monitor is rated for 6 volts, so I'm wondering - can I use this battery kit? And if so, should I switch it to 5 volts or to 7 volts? Any significant risks at such low voltages given that it won't be exactly 6 volts? My knowledge of electronics is minimal, so apologies in advance if this is an ignorant question ^_^ Thanks a bunch!

What's the worst codebase you've ever worked on? 3 by zoozla | 3 comments on Hacker News. You know the kind I'm talking about. A huge lumping monolith of spaghetti with barely any tests, class hierarchies a mile deep, and a list of dependencies that can make a grown man weep. Written by a self proclaimed "genius" 15 years ago with junior devs patching features on top of it since. What's your story? How did you deal with that mess? Are you still on that team?

Hey HN! We’re open-sourcing highlight.io ( https://github.com/highlight/highlight ), a session replay and error monitoring tool. Highlight.io gives you a high-precision video-like replay of what users are doing when an error or exception occurs in your web app, along with a full-fledged error monitoring experience (similar to bugsnag, rollbar, etc..). The main value prop of highlight.io is that we help you understand the full context surrounding an error and allow you to drill down to the code path that a user invoked (i.e user clicked button X, sent network request Y, and backend code Z was executed). Some of our customers compare this to a “web debugger” of sorts. A picture of what this looks like in our app is here [1]. For some background, when we worked at our previous companies as engineers, we encountered hard-to-reproduce issues spanning across both the frontend and backend. The main issues were (1) if a customer complained about a problem, it was hard to reproduce the issue wi...

Ask HN: Why is hiring so dehumanized, and what can be done? 8 by elevanation | 2 comments on Hacker News. As technology permeates the world more and more, the hiring process is becoming more dehumanized, IMHO. What can we do as an industry, to make hiring more efficient for everyone? Some of the pain points I observe are: 1. Applicants must wade through large volumes of job postings, which are often poorly written, and frequently lacking key information which is important to the applicant. 2. Employers are overwhelmed with large numbers of applicants, most of whom don't meet the requested minimum requirements. 3. Employers are then too overwhelmed to reply to all the applicants. 4. Applicants are then annoyed with the lack of replies. 5. By the time an employer finds a potential match, the applicant may be difficult to reach, or is no longer interested. 6. By the time an applicant hears back from an employer, they are disappointed in the quality of the response, and already have a...

Ask HN: Would a DB of startup tech stacks be valuable to you? 2 by lsj0627 | 0 comments on Hacker News. I'm imagining the user would be a Hiring Manager or Recruiter looking for Engineers. If they need Ruby Engineers with startup experience, they click the Ruby box from a tech drop-down list and the search will retrieve the startups that also use it. Ideally, you'd be able to sort by geographical area, founding year, latest funding phase, number of employees (e.g. 50-200), and more. I would also aim for matching the right area of the stack - for example, the option to pick Python AND Backend, so you don't end up with startups using Python only for Data Science/ML work. Note: I did try the StackShare API and there is no filtering feature. So if you purchase the 1,000-company plan, you have no control over what they send you. It'll be a randomly generated list of 1,000 companies that use the technology you requested, a hodgepodge of companies all around the world, big an...

Hi HN. I've been working on a new browser-based design tool that's ready for you to try. The idea is you work on your design in low fidelity wireframes, while still getting a high fidelity output that you can share or use as a reference for your implementation. The way it works is by mapping low fidelity blocks you draw into high fidelity design system & React components. I spent several years working on design tools at companies like Airbnb, and I think the ideas behind many of the tools we built for designing at scale could really help startups and small teams as well. I would love any feedback you have!

Ask HN: Has ChatGPT gotten worse at coding for anyone else? 6 by Michelangelo11 | 2 comments on Hacker News. I used it for coding in Python, often with the python-docx library, about six weeks ago, and it was superb. It gave me exactly what I wanted, which is no mean feat for a semi-obscure little library, and I was delighted. Then I tried it again a few weeks ago and it did worse than before, but I thought maybe it was just bad luck. Using it today, though, it seemed really really bad and it messed up some very basic Python features, like the walrus operator -- it got so bad that I gave up on it and went back to google and stack overflow. The performance drop is so steep that I can only imagine they crippled the model, probably to cope with the explosion in demand. Has anyone else seen the same thing?

I have heard stories of several minutes to deploy and would love to hear what kind of spread there is.

Ask HN: How to Exit FAANG? 8 by bugsliker | 13 comments on Hacker News. I work at a company that rhymes with "frugal". I've done really well here and gotten promoted to senior SWE. My work has tons of impact. My team is a pretty healthy environment compared to the rest of the company, all things considered. But now I'm struggling to find motivation to do my work. I have absolutely no interest in leading a team, but senior members in my org keep trying to groom me into a TL. I like being an IC and building what I'm told to build; I have no idea how to decide what it is we should be building and don't want to deal with customer demands. What I feel like I'd really rather do is quit and join a team working on something low stakes. Somewhere where I can put the minimum effort and still impress. I think this would be better for my mental health. But it's a hard pill to give up the FAANG compensation. Also being stuck in a NIH company has atrophied my ...

Tell HN: I had an accident and ChatGPT has been helpful 4 by faebi | 0 comments on Hacker News. I had an accident and I‘m in the hospital for a while. No mental issues. I started paying for ChatGPT and asked it all the questions about my situation. It‘s not about the treatment itself but about the process of healing, and all it‘s surroundings. I‘m learning a lot. I found it very helpful to cope with the situation and to kill the boredom with relevant data. It‘s not a replacement for a doctor, I don‘t try that. It‘s giving me the information I‘m curious about which this stressed healthcare system can‘t provide.

Ask HN: Why do email addresses need a user name? 3 by escot | 5 comments on Hacker News. I was thinking it would be cool to be able to have an email address that is just a domain, for example if I own bobsmith.com why can't I have bobsmith.com as my email address? Why does SMTP require a username, eg bob@bobsmith.com?

Many people, when they are installing a Linux distribution for a single purpose such as running containers, would prefer an install-and-forget type of deployment. At FOSDEM 2023 in Brussels, several projects of this minimal Linux distribution type were presented. Fedora CoreOS , Ubuntu Core , openSUSE MicroOS , and Bottlerocket OS all tackle this problem in their own way. The talks at FOSDEM gave an interesting overview of how these projects differ in their approaches. from LWN.net https://ift.tt/wSp3u4q via IFTTT

The 6.1.12 and 5.15.94 stable kernel updates have been released, each with the usual set of important fixes. There is also a 5.10.168 release in the works, but it ran into some snags in the review process ; it can be expected shortly. Another set of updates, containing the mitigations for the just-disclosed cross-thread return-address prediction vulnerability (yet another Spectre variant that affects AMD processors), can be expected soon. from LWN.net https://ift.tt/Mr4GdiN via IFTTT

Tell HN: Please let me just buy stuff without having to “Contact Sales” 3 by robbie-c | 1 comments on Hacker News. Context: I'm trying to buy an API for Text-To-Speech. There's a few that look promising but I can't really try them out without going through a sales guy first. All I'm going to tell them is that we want a short trial where I can check out the quality for myself in our specific use case. It's frustrating that I need to wait for our calendars to align and to sit on a call to do this. I don't need the sales pitch, it's an extremely straightforward concept, and I'm likely to choose whichever one lets me build an MVP the fastest.

The field of confidential computing is still in its infancy, to the point where it lacks a clear, agreed, and established problem description. Elena Reshetova and Andi Kleen from Intel recently started the conversation by sharing their view of a potential threat model in the form of this document , which is specific to the Intel Trust Domain Extension (TDX) on Linux, but which is intended to be applicable to other confidential-computing solutions as well. The resulting conversation showed that there is some ground to be covered to achieve a consensus on the model in the community. from LWN.net https://ift.tt/T1Js6Ke via IFTTT

A new installment of the rejuvenated kernel podcast has been posted. If there were a "theme of the moment" for the industry (other than layoffs), it would probably be Confidential Compute. It seems one can’t go more than 10 minutes without seeing a patch for some new confidential compute feature in one of the major architectures, or the system IP that goes along with it. from LWN.net https://ift.tt/7m4dRzG via IFTTT

Tell HN: Windows 11 update erases Linux boot entries 3 by kartoshechka | 4 comments on Hacker News. Yesterday I've had the misfortune of letting windows do the chunky 22H2 update, simultaneously with actually useful BIOS update. Mind you, it didn't break anything immediately. Today, after at least two reboot cycles between windows and linux, refind gave an "Invalid loader files" error upon choosing linux. Okay, maybe windows didn't finish its update -> do more windows updates -> linux entry is completely gone. Can't even say I'm back to pirating, just beware

Ask HN: What is going on in the ad-tech market? 4 by in_vestor | 2 comments on Hacker News. The NYT ran a story this week about deterioration ad quality. It’s obvious to everyone here that services like google search, social media, and YouTube have had user experience vastly degraded in the hunt for ad revenue. Apps and sites that should have long ago perished are able to linger on like ghosts, endangering user data (MySpace still exists). And yet this earnings quarter, we learned that companies are doing better than we expected. Meta is growing its user base and google is increasing its clicks. Despite the wishes of the media, twitter is doing OK. Dilapidated app companies continue to raise funds. What is going on? What would cause the ad-funded ecosystem to fundamentally change? Looking for insight from people on the front lines.

Ask HN: Any advice before starting my first real dev job? 5 by pkdpic | 4 comments on Hacker News. Ive been independently coding webapps and teaching fullstack webdev for kind of a while but finally Im about to start my first fulltime dev job. Wondering if people have any one-line advice zingers. So far my bff computer buddy said, pure functions, no variable mutations and no math in variable declarations. Those seemed like solid gold. I want more please. On second thought why would I not just ask chatGPT?

Ask HN: Has Apple abandoned Objective-C? 2 by rubicon33 | 1 comments on Hacker News. More and more it seems like Apple's documentation only supports Objective C.

Ask HN: What companies are embracing “HTML over the wire”? 18 by sodapopcan | 2 comments on Hacker News. I'm a web developer who has been in the market for a new job for a while now. As someone who has never enjoyed working with frontend JS frameworks (yes, I sucked it up and learned them and have worked with them professionally) I'm wondering who all the companies are who have embraced the semi-recent "HTML over the wire" movement (Can you imagine... using hyper text transfer protocol for transferring hyper text? Seems nuts, I know). It's a massive slog shifting through endless React/Vue/etc-focused jobs out there. Even if you use React in small areas where it pulls its weight but generally try and stick to simplicity of sending plain ol' HTML, I'd love to know who you are. Even if you aren't hiring, it's nice knowing you're out there fighting the good fight :)

Ask HN: Do you think the Turing Test is still relevant? 3 by rabbits_unite | 5 comments on Hacker News. I know avid users of ChatGPT who say their clients can't tell the difference between human vs bot generated content/conversations. It can be argued that a system can be said to "pass the test" only if it was interrogated by an expert, and the expert still failed to distinguish it. But the systems continue to improve at a fast pace. And at this point it seems like we are in the beginning of a "post-Turing" world. Do you think we crossed that mark? If not, what specific advancement would convince you? Does it even matter, as we embrace the brave new world?

Ask HN: Do ads push you beyond monthly data caps? 2 by winternett | 1 comments on Hacker News. I frequently upload and view video content on my mobile phone because I work as a musician. It frustrates me beyond words that my mobile service provider ("F-Mobile") has data caps on their plans where they de-prioritize my device on towers if I exceed around 25GB each month. They also don't currently offer any plans that do not impose this limit, even though they sold me my plan as unlimited to begin with years ago, (well before the idea of data caps was a thing). The company has a wild tendency to revise our contractual agreements to their favor profit-wise, and I've been paying over $75 a month for unlimited service that has this limit on it. A funny thought occurred to me, as ads become more and more prevalent, and as speeds increase on mobile devices, our monthly data caps are hitting the limit more faster than ever, and I wonder if all of the ad content really factors...
