Ask HN: What is Substack doing with HN data? 4 by cactusplant7374 | 1 comments on Hacker News.

Ask HN: "At which age did you start coding?” => Good data point for hiring? 2 by akhayam | 4 comments on Hacker News. Was talking to someone I trust who told me this is a question that gives a solid data point on a candidate developer's hire-ability, with two qualifiers: 1/ Asked from young-ish developers, so the expected answer is always less than 18. 2/ Asked in addition to coding/system-design questions. Has anyone seen a study or even an anecdote on correlation between success of a developer if they started coding earlier (say 11yr), rather than later (say 15yr or 16yr) in their youth?

Ask HN: I've run Linux for 13 years. Is it time to switch to a Mac? 2 by eschluntz | 18 comments on Hacker News. I've always used Linux because I want to keep my computer as similar to prod as possible, first servers and now robots. Now that everything is containerized that feels somewhat less important... At the same time, I've become more and more frustrated with Linux support on laptops. The last Thinkpad I used didn't have working wifi drivers out of the box! Getting Nvidia drivers to work well on a laptop is also a big pain. So HN, what do you recommend?

Ask HN: Best courses to learn React Native for a back end dev 3 by rexarex | 2 comments on Hacker News. Hi there, I am working on an app for a side project and I am building out the backend and doing some design with someone doing the frontend but I'm interested in jumping in and writing some of the front-end as well. I am going to take a course on Udemy most likely, but I already know a lot about back-end Python, Golang, and AWS and Infra so don't need a total beginner course. Does anyone have a good up to date course they can recommend that uses Expo? I know this technology changes pretty rapidly in the front-end so if anyone has any good recent experience I would appreciate a suggestion or two :)

Ask HN: Who are the real pioneers and contrarian visionaries in tech? 2 by confoundcofound | 0 comments on Hacker News. From crypto to AI, it feels this industry has more than ever been swayed by hype and herd mentality. I've had so many conversations with PMs, execs, and VCs in the space who have no real interest in understanding the current state of tech or developing their own vision for where we could be headed. Many are just looking to create "value" for their own shameless self-enrichment. In your specific niches and domains, however big or small, who would say have been real pioneers who've held steadfastly to a vision of the world based on their own unique set of values?

There is a new stable Git release containing fixes for three separate security vulnerabilities. The fixes have also been backported to the older v2.39.3, v2.38.5, v2.37.7, v2.36.6, v2.35.8, v2.34.8, v2.33.8, v2.32.7, v2.31.8, and v2.30.9 releases.

Working for a startup? You're getting screwed 10 by brlimie | 5 comments on Hacker News. I worked for a startup. When I graduated from Stanford, I joined two Harvard Business School grads to start a company that later raised millions in funding. All good. Problem? They ended up screwing me over and taking my shares. Here's what it is really like working for a startup. You're going to have to work over 100 hours a week, and you'll think that you're going to be rich. You'll hope for the best. Your business partners will smile at you and reassure you that you're going to make millions. Some of you might jump on board without a solid contract in place (big mistake). If you are smart enough, you'll hire a lawyer before any code gets written. Even with a lawyer, though, you are on a vesting schedule - meaning you can still work crazy hours and get screwed. You'll raise millions if you are lucky, and your business partners who are much better at business t...

Linus has released the 6.3 kernel as expected. It's been a calm release this time around, and the last week was really no different. So here we are, right on schedule, with the 6.3 release out and ready for your enjoyment. That doesn't mean that something nasty couldn't have been lurking all these weeks, of course, but let's just take things at face value and hope it all means that everything is fine, and it really was a nice controlled release cycle. It happens. Significant changes in this release include the removal of a lot of obsolete Arm board files and drivers, ongoing improvements to the (still minimal) Rust language support, red-black trees for BPF programs, ID-mapped mounts for tmpfs filesystems, BIG TCP support for IPv4, support for non-executable memfds , the hwnoise jitter-measurement tool, and a lot more. See the LWN merge-window summaries ( part 1 ,2 part 2 ) and the (in-progress) KernelNewbies 6.3 page for more information. from LWN.net https://ift....

Ask HN: An OS for people who hate changes? 8 by thrwwy_grump | 6 comments on Hacker News. I really don't like any changes to my OS (and software) once set up, unless I choose to install some change. I understand the need for security updates but I wish they were not bundled with features, i.e. how Windows 10 updates everything compared to Windows 7 specific update selection. So, I migrated from Windows 7 to Ubuntu, but now Ubuntu is down the same path where everything changes and breaks by itself all the time. Where should I migrate next? How is Mac with updates; is security tradeoff better when staying on old major versions? What flavor of Linux is most like Ubuntu before snaps?

Ask HN: Any Domain Registrars That Aren't Crap? 3 by retrocryptid | 5 comments on Hacker News. Back in the day Network Solutions was the sine qua non of registrars. Then they... well... let's just say they lost my trust. Then Nominum was my go-to until they too lost my trust. I was about to register a domain for a client with GoDaddy until it was clear they didn't take their business seriously. Name.com seemed okay until... again... let's just say they're not behaving in a way that makes me comfortable with using their services. I registered a domain through gandi.net and it wasn't HORRIBLE. As best I can tell they didn't retain my CC details after I asked them not to (looking at you, name.com.) I've yet to have to send in a support request to gandi.net, but I HAVE to think it's a better experience than name.com or GoDaddy. So... what are people's experiences? Who's a good registrar?

This ten days old but hopefully better late than never: the Python Software Foundation has put out an article describing how the proposed European "cyber resilience act" threatens the free-software community. Under the current language, the PSF could potentially be financially liable for any product that includes Python code, while never having received any monetary gain from any of these products. The risk of huge potential costs would make it impossible in practice for us to continue to provide Python and PyPI to the European public. The Internet Systems Consortium has also recently put out a statement on the proposal. from LWN.net https://ift.tt/8XQBvqn via IFTTT

Ask HN: Able to code fluently a special trait? 2 by akasakahakada | 4 comments on Hacker News. I did competitive programming and being able to write extremly complex algorithm after studied 1 week for Python. Then I started to write a 4000 lines of program for a personal project because I didn't know a shit about hashmap/function/class/importing/library. Using an extremely limited subset of the language still deliver the stuff. Cos I only know looping in that time, I can comprehend 6 layers of heterogeneous for loops, each layer doing different thing. I can lay out the structure of code (100lines) in my head then write them out. I can translate everything I want to do in code. But then I meet other people in university labs, I find that people actually struggle in coding, even in top tier university's CS department. How do you guys code?

Ask HN: Comparison between two startup offers 2 by golly_ned | 1 comments on Hacker News. Hi HN, I'm in the middle of choosing between my current company, and another company. I'd like to give a description of both companies, and poll you all for thoughts and opinions. Cash is identical, and my stock options at my current company are currently underwater due to a ~35%ish drop in valuation compared to before the tech market went south. My current company is a series C ML/AI company with about 100 people. There are many people with deep expertise in ML systems and distributed systems -- the engineers are very strong, and the founders are reknowned and well-regarded, and also experts in ML systems. But the business is struggling; there was recently a round of layoffs of 15% of the company. There's a very strong pivot into direct competition with the other company, and the current product will likely be deprecated; I'm assuming I'll be safe in terms of layoffs, since m...

Ask HN: Is it worth it for me to learn Go or Rust as a Data Engineer? 2 by astrea | 2 comments on Hacker News. I've been working as a data engineer now for about 4 years professionally, exclusively in Python and the various flavors of SQL. I also have some experience in C, C++, C#, and Java from university. I have seen the occasional job post that mentions Go or Rust as something that would be nice to have. I have yet to encounter any projects in my career either in-house or otherwise that uses these languages. Would it be worth my time to learn them on the side or to try and propose our next tool, pipeline, etc. be written in one of them?

Thoughts on Brex vs. Mercury and SVB 2 by Basheers | 0 comments on Hacker News. Hello everyone. I would love to hear about your experience with Brex and/or Mercury when it comes to startup banking. From what I understand, Brex requires a minimum deposit of $50K and is currently focusing on venture-backed startups, whereas Mercury has no minimum deposit requirement and is happy to work with earlier stage tech startups. Finally, following the acquisition of SVB, are you as startup founders still banking with them? If so, has the acquisition changed anything from your point of view? Many thanks in advance.

Vanilla OS , a lightweight, immutable operating system designed for developers and advanced users, has been using Ubuntu as its base. However, a recent announcement has revealed that, in the upcoming Vanilla OS 2.0 Orchid release, the project will be shifting to Debian unstable (Sid) as its new base operating system. Vanilla OS is making the switch due to Ubuntu's changes to its version of the GNOME desktop environment along with the distribution's reliance on the Snap packaging format. The decision has generated a fair amount of interest and discussion within the open-source community. from LWN.net https://ift.tt/ZPoh4vW via IFTTT

Likely similar to many of you, I have been using ChatGPT quite a bit lately. My main gripe with it though is that the actual interface is quite limited, and I don't like having to navigate to the site every time I want to use it. Given the above, I've been looking in to a good ChatGPT client that offers additional functionality (exporting chats for example). There were quite a few out there, but I was curious what the community was using? I am currently using Windows, however it would be awesome to hear what the community thinks of the best clients for any given platform! To start things off, here is some I've found * lencx/ChatGPT (Windows, MacOS, Linux) * lisiur/ChatWizard (Windows, MacOS, Linux). * EasyChat AI (Windows) * Machato (Mac) * ChatHub (Chrome / Edge) Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35604867 Points: 20 # Comments: 12 from Hacker News: Front Page https://ift.tt/2V4ckOR via IFTTT

The AI arms race is going to destroy software engineering forever 3 by concerned_ | 6 comments on Hacker News. The last few months have seen a massive shift in attention to LLMs obviously, and the AI arms race seems to have officially broken out of its research labs into the "real" world. There has been tons of ink spilled on how this will affect and change the world in general, but before AI can do any of that it's going to cause a massive, relentless distraction for every software engineer currently employed, and every place that produces software products. At first, AI adoption may look like a value add, with battle lines being drawn between the haves and the have not. But with significant proliferation and deployment, it's likely that the building of black boxes that nobody truly understands with become the norm. During the deployment phase, attention and resources will be diverted from software development teams doing coding to specialized consultants, who will ...

Ask HN: Who has deployed commercial features using GPT4? 2 by _false | 0 comments on Hacker News. I'd be curious to learn how effective has GPT4 been to enable product features and what it means for the things we might see in the future. In particular, I have the following questions: 1. What was the product you were working on? 2. Were there any new software engineering challenges that came from working with GPT4 (e.g. output quality, testing, monitoring, etc.)?

Ask HN: Become a 10x developer with LLM? Myth? Reality? 9 by FallDead | 9 comments on Hacker News. I keep hearing from VC's on the internet mainly the right now in the `all in podcast` there are people who have leveraged LLM to become a 10x dev. What stack are they using? I am thinking it's pretty much any LLM (GPT-3/GPT-4), Lang chain with GPT Index. I am guessing they build boilerplate templates and filling in functions with GPT outputs then using them to write unit tests for base cases? I am guessing the truth is really closer to the centre.

Ask HN: Why do you think F# is not more popular, even within the .NET ecosystem? 5 by soulbadguy | 0 comments on Hacker News. My last experience with the language date from a couple.of years ago, overall it was kind pleasant : light wait syntax, goodish tooling and nice async programming support. Fast forward today, I wanted to explore asp.net and most of the example are in C# and the overall community/support for F# seems lower than say Scala or kotlin. What happened ?

Ask HN: How do you cope with the existential dread of AGI? 4 by NumberWangMan | 4 comments on Hacker News. I've opened my eyes recently to the catastrophe that we're headed toward with unaligned AI. I know plenty of people here aren't worried, and are actually excited about it. I was too, but I just hadn't really thought very deeply about it before. I was imagining the most rose-tinted sci-fi. Now I'm trying to figure out how this doesn't end extremely poorly for us all, and can't. I am trying not to panic, not to sink into a deep despair, but it seems like even if AI doesn't actually kill everyone (which apparently over half the people working on AI think has a good chance of happening!) it's going to screw up things much worse than just the weak AIs that we've used to create the never-ending attention economy. It seems like AI is a fire that has already started to burn and consume us, and we just keep feeding it instead of fighting it. Maybe w...

Tell HN: Splunk Forces Managers to Withhold RSUs 8 by thisisntright | 1 comments on Hacker News. I’m a manager at Splunk and I’m livid. This has been happening for years, but I honestly can’t take it anymore. Splunk forces us managers to choose people from our team to not get a focal refresh, regardless of if it’s deserved, based on some internal figure they’ve generated. If they decide 80% of employees get their RSU refresh, and I have 10 people on my team, I must choose 2 to not get it. Even if everyone is stellar. No, we’re not allowed to spread the RSUs lighter across all employees. Someone MUST GET ZERO. I’ve pretty much had it with this company, and now I’m worried we’re going to lose some valuable employees as a result of this psychotic philosophy. I just had to give a $0 refresh to a fantastic employee that I had to choose at random because I felt everyone deserved more incentive to keep doing a great job. That’s it. End of rant. This account is new and anonymous for obvious r...

Ask HN: Attend a post-baccalaureate CS program or double down on self-study? 2 by nn77 | 0 comments on Hacker News. Read on for background to my question, or see the TL;DR below. TL;DR: Do I go for the post-baccalaureate degree in CS, or do I double down on self-teaching? - I won't have student loans because paying out-of-pocket. - Complete the program = full-fledged B.S. in Computer Science, no caveats. - I work in software as a technical writer currently and have a liberal arts degree. I've been working in the software industry as a technical writer for a little over a year now, and I was recently accepted to Oregon State University's online post-baccalaureate Computer Science degree program. I applied to Oregon State's program because I've been teaching myself some computer science fundamentals over the last year or so, and it's a subject that really interests me. Learning some web development in 2020 helped me switch from being a marketing copywriter at a g...

I have been a Java Developer then full stack developer all my career. I want to get started on AI. I am not sure where to start as it is overwhelming to look at the rapid changes coming in. Are there a list of books i can start with? My goal is to be not outdated in 6 months and lose my job to chatGPT or some other version of it. So i asked ChatGPT to give me a detailed plan and here is what it gave me. Could you please let me know if this is a way to go or if there is a better way Transitioning from a full-stack engineer to the AI field can be a fulfilling and exciting journey. To make the most of this transition, you should focus on building a strong foundation in mathematics, programming, and machine learning concepts.

Hi HN, Today we’re launching GPT-4 answers on Phind.com, a developer-focused search engine that uses generative AI to browse the web and answer technical questions, complete with code examples and detailed explanations. Unlike vanilla GPT-4, Phind feeds in relevant websites and technical documentation, reducing the model’s hallucination and keeping it up-to-date. To use it, simply enable the “Expert” toggle before doing a search. GPT-4 is making a night-and-day difference in terms of answer quality. For a question like “How can I RLHF a LLaMa model”, Phind in Expert mode delivers a step-by-step guide complete with citations ( https://phind.com/search?cache=0fecf96b-0ac9-4b65-893d-8ea57... ) while Phind in default mode meanders a bit and answers the question very generally ( https://phind.com/search?cache=dd1fe16f-b101-4cc8-8089-ac56d... ). GPT-4 is significantly more concise and “systematic” in its answers than our default model. It generates step-by-step instructions over 90% of the t...

Ask HN: Azure startup credits are a bait and switch? 7 by pejrich | 2 comments on Hacker News. What's everyones experience been with Azure Founder's Hub credits? I have a legitamate startup, that Azure has vetted(I'm not a crypto miner or anything like that). First it takes me nearly two months talking to support to link them to my account, merely because my Linkedin email is different than my startup email. Once they're finally linked to my account, I request a quota increase for a single instance of their smallest/cheapest GPU instance(startup has a few ML models it's running). This is a 4 core T4 instance priced at $383/month. They offer me a ~$5k/m instance, which is obviously out of the price range of someone asking for a $383 instance. Then I'm told, "Switch to a paid plan to access GPU instances, we have limited supply for sponsored accounts". Limited supply? I'm literally asking for access to ONE of your smallest/cheapest instance. And it ...
