I've just started AutoPack, which is a repository and python package of tools designed specifically for autonomous AI systems. Right now it's just LangChain but adding Auto-GPT and…

This has negative implications for security. For instance, one reason why DNS resolvers might block or modify requests is to blacklist domains used for malware operation (botnet C&…

Why would you _want_ 10 acres? What are you going to do with all of that space? I like walking to the grocery store (or bar, or restaurants, etc). I like biking to work. I live wit…

I have, and instead took the job for almost half that at a startup. It's not that tough of a decision if you properly weigh the quality of your time. Keep in mind that you spend ro…

If you're asking questions related to "raw algorithmic skill" you're filtering for people who either: 1) Have had a computer science education and happen to remember the algorithm …

Postgres offers a variety of session-based tunings for their genetic query optimizer. See items such as geqo_effort. Note that postgres caches query plans, so the query planning co…

I tried to be pretty explicit about that in the README. However, the project is now 5 years old and I have yet to hear of a single case where this approach has failed to weed out t…

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding your post, but that's exactly what this does.

Excellent insight, Mr. "Account Created 66 Days Ago". Reading HN is not the be-all-end-all of technical knowledge. In fact, at a certain point it most definitely becomes negatively…

This all looks unnecessarily complicated. I had really bad posture for most of my life and I fixed it with two things: deadlifts and cable rows. After the major muscular weaknesses…

Why was this article suddenly de-ranked? It was on the front page, and literally 10 seconds later it is on page 3. Is there some kind of rule that this article violated? Who makes …

I'm 29

Individual caliper readings have a pretty high margin of error- I've noticed up to 3% swings from week to week. But when the readings are done regularly and applied as a trend, it'…

It's 40 pounds of muscle, give or take (at most) a couple of pounds of increased bone mass. I take weekly caliper-based readings of body fat percentage, which has fallen by over 10…

I read this article around the time it was first published, and it has changed my life. I know it sounds corny and cliched, but it's true. This article was the first seed in my hea…

Damballa is hiring in Atlanta, GA or possibly remote for the right candidate. Damballa offers a line of security appliances for enterprises and ISP customers. The appliance identif…

Just a reminder that the spec for refinements continues to change radically: http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/4085 As far as I understand it the current spec is to have "using" be …

Some of them do, notably Zeus. It takes quite a bit of work to make a botnet take instructions in a peer to peer fashion, so only the most sophisticated pieces of malware offer tha…

Amen. Almost. I was in a startlingly similar position a few years ago- I graduated from Georgia State. I went there not because it was the best school, but because tuition was paid…

It's pretty good. Last time I looked (3-4 years ago), the hard part was getting decent radar data/images.

I wrote software for medical devices for 3 years. Saying 'just use NTP' is all well and good, except that getting Internet access inside of a hospital is usually impossible. So of …

The real benefit with Ruby is the creation of DSLs that make working with these UI elements much easier. It's only a matter of time before someone creates a DSL that looks somethin…

I don't think that knowledge of low-level systems programming is ever going away. The order in which we learn it is merely changing. In the past, everyone had to understand the abs…

It's true that a YC company is more likely to succeed, but it still seems wrong to use someone else's filter instead of your own. Maybe this is just a result of the high competitio…

This seems a little crazy. I think it should be hard for a company to raise money. Bad things always seem to happen when the money chases the startup. Frequently when money is hard…
