I just want to say thanks. Finding out about these kind of projects that people are working on is what I come to HN for, and what excites me about software engineering!

The Apollo program had a big impact on the development of integrated circuits, turning software engineering into a real discipline, and fly-by-wire technology. Could this have happened without? Probably yes, these technologies aready somewh

These are not just circuit breakers/MCBs, they are RCBOs which combine an MCB + RCD in a single unit. RCDs traditionally only measure - and protect - current flow is one direction, so if you are using them for solar you need a bi-direc

The US produces much more natural gas than it consumes, so changes like this don't really make sense. Europe started implementing these initiatives a couple of decades ago, it makes sense there as they are a net importer, with resident

The problem is all these platforms in the first place, instead of trying to invent something new, if they would all just use Android with their own UI on top, then it would be possible to have native apps. Imagine how many "TV" ta

I'm building a house (in Europe) and lead times on things are ridiculous now. I ordered some plumbing parts from a well known German manufacturer in February and am still waiting, the retailer can't give me an exact date yet. Same

It's an interesting way to think about it. For every word you say, every message you write, every task you do, every thought you have, every subtle cue you give, there is a statistically best response / follow up / output. An

There's plenty of land in Spain that would be suitable too. Outside of the major cities, Spain is very sparsly populated: https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fe... It could actually be beneficial

Are there any countries that have actually done an exhaustive job of this? I'm from the UK, and I'd say they are pretty good, my parents live in a 300 person village, and they can get 50ish mbit internet through wires. But "r

An alternative to consider are dot matrix / impact printers. They are used in kitchens, as heat sensitive paper doesn't work well there. It's just plain paper and an ink ribbon. Same underlying protocol as thermal printers, s

My workflow is something very similar. I'd say one difference now is PRs actually take longer to get merged, but it's mainly because we ignore them and move onto something else while waiting for CI and reviews. It's not uncom

I've actually tried that and it helps. First I create a PRD type doc, then I have the AI break it down in a task doc, including code snippets where relevant. This helps it to think through edge cases before it starts implementing (oh w

I'd say 90% of our code is AI written today. Everyone in engineering (~30 people) is going full send on AI. We are still hand reviewing PRs and have quite strict standards, so this works to keep most of the AI slop out of the codebase.

If anyone who likes to geek out on old hardware, the image of the teller shows hardware that is part of the IBM 4700 Finance Communication System released in 1982, specifically the IBM 4704 Teller Terminal: https://kishy.ca/

There was a post last week about the best programming language for LLMs, and in the comments people loved Go, with the claim being it's very opinionated and there's really only one way of doing things. I'd say the same is mos

I decided to go with NTFS for the filesystem as it has journaling. Works fine on Linux, and obviously Windows. For macOS there are various add-ons that support NTFS, but my use case there is read-only.

I guess you are doing offloading to system RAM? What tokens per second do you get? I've got an old gaming laptop with a RTX 3060, sounds like it could work well as a local inference server.

Maybe a better way would be to allow third-parties to certify releases, and you can specify only to pull the package once they've given it the green light.

Interesting that it only comes with 8GB of RAM. My Macbook Pro on Tahoe uses around that just when booting up, before I start anything. I wonder if they have some memory optimisations planned?

Antigravity is useless anyway. I tried it last week and it needs approval for every file read and tool call. There's an option in the app to auto-approve, except it doesn't work. Plenty of complaints online about this. Clearly the

It's nice to have it written down in a concise form. I shared it with my team as some engineers have been struggling with AI, and I think this (just trying to one-shot without planning) could be why.
