Hatchet | Founding Engineer | NYC or REMOTE (US and EU) | https://hatchet.run Hey HN! I'm Alexander, one of the founders of Hatchet. Hatchet is an open-source platform for running background jobs at scale. We're hiring engineers who are excited to build the next class of engineering primitives, starting with queues, background tasks and durable execution. We started in early 2024 after launching our distributed task…

Your website is INCREDIBLY slow, and I have a very good laptop with dedicated GPU. Somehow some JS is killing the whole thing. Anyways, the concept looks cool, but I'm failing to see a real value add to something like Temporal. What is it?

Oh no, haven't gotten reports about the website being slow, thanks for flagging! Which browser are you using?

Regarding Temporal, our goal is to create the best developer experience possible, and we started Hatchet because we felt that Temporal misses the mark (I used Temporal for years before starting Hatchet).

The primary difference is that we're not solely focused on durable workflows, we're a general-purpose background jobs platform which offers durable workflows as a feature. In our view there are a set of equally important primitives: tasks, events, streaming/pubsub, concurrency, priority, rate limiting, scheduling, and yes, durable workflows.

Tasks being the entrypoint to the platform, rather than immediately dealing with the overhead of durable workflows, generally makes Hatchet easier to adopt for engineering teams. I wrote a little more about how task queues relate to durable execution here: https://hatchet.run/blog/durable-execution

We've also invested quite heavily in platform features like logging, observability, alerting, and our UI which either aren't offered or are underdeveloped in Temporal.

But ultimately I'd encourage people to give both a try - we're both MIT licensed and can easily be run locally.

Afi Labs | Sales Associate | REMOTE (US) | Contract or Full-time

Afi Labs (http://www.afi.io) is a software consulting company that specializes in building software for transportation and logistics companies. I'm looking for a part or full-time sales associate to sell route optimization software and APIs to grocery delivery companies, tech forward logistics providers or larger fleets that would benefit from truck routing.

The ideal candidate would have either worked at a route optimization provider or is deeply connected to the last mile delivery industry (e.g. you've sold software or services to third party logistics providers). Email afian at afi dot io if this sounds like you.

The website seems fine to me. I'm using Chrome on Linux with an X1 Carbon (so integrated graphics, no fancy GPU).

Are you tunnel visioning on detecting outputs of a technology using the same fundamental technology? It seems like that would be an inescapable product-risk that I would bet against. If you discover the best AI detection technology, then it will eventually be used as a (negative) reward function in training future models. It's an arms race. Would you be open to alternative techniques, like metadata, source analysis,…

Detection is one layer, not the whole solution. We've also built an AI model that inserts invisible watermarks for content provenance. We've also been doing active work in source tracing: https://github.com/piotrkawa/audio-deepfake-source-tracing

I think there's a lot of precedent for invisible watermarks for source identification in both copyright protection and exfiltration identification. Of course this is quite possible without compute intensive ML models.
