New ask Hacker News story: I have a itch to build HR tech product but I dont know how to get started

I have a itch to build HR tech product but I dont know how to get started 2 by syed01 | 1 comments on Hacker News. I am entrepreneur based out of Toronto, Canada. It's 12:35 am right now, my two kids and wife are asleep and I am here typing this to get some answers and guidance. I started my first business back in 2016, it was HR tech product that aimed to digitize the staffing agencies, it didn't end up working due to legal disputes with founders and burn out. After that, I started IT/HR consulting business that I still run to this day but I still have itch to do HR tech product. Atm, I am thinking to build something that I can use internally for my recruitment with adding AI to the mix. I want to diversify my businesses and add product along with my service business. How can I get started? I feel like I am stuck in middle of Lake ontario with not sure which way to go.

New ask Hacker News story: LLMs all fail this NumPy indexing example

LLMs all fail this NumPy indexing example 3 by minihat | 2 comments on Hacker News. When mixing basic slicing with an advanced index, NumPy moves the advanced index's subspace to the front, so in the example, A[0, :, B] produces a shape of (4, 2) rather than (2, 4). import numpy as np A = np.random.rand(1, 2, 2) B = np.array([0, 1, 0, 1]) C = A[0, :, B] print("C.shape:", C.shape) So far every LLM I've tried (Grok 3, o1, Gemini Pro) all predict (2, 4) and can't be persuaded otherwise.

New ask Hacker News story: What should I expect from moving tech jobs from USA to Europe?

What should I expect from moving tech jobs from USA to Europe? 24 by tech_lizzard | 17 comments on Hacker News. 11 yoe Senior Software Developer here, I'm working at a non FAANG job, 180k. I'm looking at moving to Europe in the next few months. The salaries look about 1/3 of what I make, and yet the cost of living seems to be the same with higher taxes. While I'm willing to sacrifice that to move, I'm wondering if there's a best of both worlds approach? Perhaps get a FAANG job and relocate first day? It would be nice to just keep my job and work remote late nights, but I think I need a work visa to live over in Europe , and that needs to be sponsored by a European company. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

New ask Hacker News story: If C++ cmpler became smarter would't be opinionated as rust borrowchecker?

If C++ cmpler became smarter would't be opinionated as rust borrowchecker? 2 by itissid | 0 comments on Hacker News. I'm not well versed with either language as I was reading the article published https://ift.tt/AtYT8oD I suddenly thought of the forward looking trajectory of the idea of making c++ compiler smart(er) as to ease the burden of memory copying (section 3) with zero overhead. If one traces this arc it means that one day c++ compilers would be equivalent to the borrow checker? That is to say they would throw compile time errors for using some construct in c++ that copied instead of moved?

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: Can I really create a company around my open-source software?

Ask HN: Can I really create a company around my open-source software? 3 by darkhorse13 | 0 comments on Hacker News. This is a serious question because I'll be the first to admit, I'm not a great business person. Also genuinely not trying to just promote my software either, but looking for some advice and feedback. I recently built and launched Forms.md, which is an open source JS library that lets you create multi-step forms and surveys. The forms themselves are very similar to what you would find on Typeform. The library works anywhere you can run JS, so it works with all web tech stacks: Django, Rails, React, Angular, etc. The library itself is just the front-end form builder, there is no backend because I expect people to just submit their forms directly to their database as that should be fairly easy to set up. It's also licensed under Apache-2.0. Website: https://forms.md Repo: https://ift.tt/4zut0bO Some backstory, this was initially known as blocks.md, and I was c...
