When I was a vision engineer at a previous role back in 2022-ish, laptop-class Intel chips used in their SFF NUCs were powerful enough to run small finetuned convolutional nets by …

My deepest conflict with Python as someone who works with it professionally is balancing "keep it simple and clean" with an acknowledgement that reality is often is complex and mes…

Something of consideration: Flock cameras were installed after discussions across the HOA and local police department, after a multiple crimes happened in an area. So long as a dis…

I was asking around a while ago about better single-node solutions to "durable workflows" than Airflow before I was familiar with the terminology. Admittedly, Go + durable workflow…

Google has muddied the waters on their Gemini usage statistics as it now powers a big chunk of Search. Depending on how you cut it, Gemini (and Gemini powered products) are probabl…

I like the linking of "construction of a type is evidence of correctness"!

Author here: A lot of my professional C++ experience comes from the computer vision space where I am specifically linking against FFmpeg (libav does its own share of memory managem…

A very specific shortcoming of this implementation is indeed "Day of Month" and "Month of Year" aren't given their own types! The type specification should likely be applied all th…

Author here. The post didn't get much traffic when I uploaded so I didn't engage much with the thread. Looks like I should've come back! I specifically wrote that by hand to note t…

I only write about once a year, but in 2025, I started getting serious about using LLMs to make headway on some of my larger side projects, and the results are getting promising. L…

I would love to host an ultra high quality stream on my own web server, and then have that exact stream piped to YouTube live via OBS. Is there an easy way to do that now? YouTube …

I think if AI can help us modernize the current state of hardware verification, I think that would be an enormous boon to the tech industry. Server class CPUs and GPUs are littered…

I am in the final testing stages for a bespoke recommender system to facilitate construction of EDH Decks. The vibes are off at the moment, but goal is to do a show HN and a little…

Have y'all talked with Max and the Ozone team? Suppose you would have lots to learn from them as you take on this space. Best of luck, video is hard!

When I was in my 20s, I hit a point where I started looking back on my high school years and realized there were a small handful of teachers who had a very large influence on what …
