Ask HN: Diagnosed with a incurable chronic disease, should I tell my employer? 5 by throwaway665654 | 7 comments on Hacker News. I've been diagnosed with an incurable chronic disease a few days ago. I don't know yet the severity of my case as more tests are needed. Most likely I'll still be able to physically perform my job (SWE in big tech company) in the next few years. Right now, I'm pretty shocked and I'm not sure I'll be able to work at my fullest until the situation stabilises. Should I tell my manager and my team about this? or simply take a sick leave? I know there are laws against this, but I'm worried this plays against me.

Ask HN: "At which age did you start coding?” => Good data point for hiring? 2 by akhayam | 6 comments on Hacker News. Was talking to someone I trust who told me this is a question that gives a solid data point on a candidate developer's hire-ability, with two qualifiers: 1/ Asked from young-ish developers, so the expected answer is always less than 18. 2/ Asked in addition to coding/system-design questions. Has anyone seen a study or even an anecdote on correlation between success of a developer if they started coding earlier (say 11yr), rather than later (say 15yr or 16yr) in their youth?

Ask HN: How to run Language Models on your own? 4 by sudhirc | 0 comments on Hacker News. As someone who is new to running Language Models, I am struggling to understand the infrastructure needed to run them effectively. I would greatly appreciate any advice you can offer. Could you please help me with the following questions: 1. What are the hardware specifications you would recommend for running Language Models? 2. What are the building options available for Language Models and which one is the easiest to set up? 3. Is it better to rent or buy hardware for running Language Models? 4.What are some cost-saving strategies that have worked for you when running Language Models?

Ask HN: Starting my first job in a startup. Advice? 2 by momofuku | 0 comments on Hacker News. Hey HN! I'm starting my first "real" job in a 50ish employee startup. To be honest, I'm terrified of multiple things: 1. Why did they pick me, that too in one of the worst job markets? I'm sure they had tons of better/experienced people to hire. 2. What if I don't live up to their expectations? 3. I've always had trouble drawing the line between work and personal life, how do I balance this? I'd love any perspectives on this situation, or even anecdotes of when you started a new job at a new-ish startup. Thanks HN!

What makes GPT-4 so much better than GPT-3.5 and competitors? 2 by two_in_one | 2 comments on Hacker News. Any ideas? Obviously it's not a simple answer. Size, training set matter, but don't explain it. I suspect there is a set of models, algorithms which filter wrong and abusive responses. Humans are involved somehow. Reviewing the interactions, probably updating some databases. There should be significant difference in architecture..?

I've always used Linux because I want to keep my computer as similar to prod as possible, first servers and now robots. Now that everything is containerized that feels somewhat less important... At the same time, I've become more and more frustrated with Linux support on laptops. The last Thinkpad I used didn't have working wifi drivers out of the box! Getting Nvidia drivers to work well on a laptop is also a big pain. So HN, what do you recommend?

Ask HN: Best courses to learn React Native for a back end dev 3 by rexarex | 2 comments on Hacker News. Hi there, I am working on an app for a side project and I am building out the backend and doing some design with someone doing the frontend but I'm interested in jumping in and writing some of the front-end as well. I am going to take a course on Udemy most likely, but I already know a lot about back-end Python, Golang, and AWS and Infra so don't need a total beginner course. Does anyone have a good up to date course they can recommend that uses Expo? I know this technology changes pretty rapidly in the front-end so if anyone has any good recent experience I would appreciate a suggestion or two :)

Writing a bash script seems very different to the rest of the programming I do. And not often in a better way. What are the most interesting, alternatives for simple scripts.

Tell HN: Nokia G22 Beware 5 by 2ton_jeff | 3 comments on Hacker News. So I bought a Nokia G22 to replace my old Galaxy, and it has not gone well. I did enjoy hearing the Nokia chime for the first time in nearly 2 decades though, haha. Deal breaker first and foremost: Nokia/HMD Global Oy has apparently decided not to license any MicroSD storage filesystem, and declares ext4 as a non-portable filesystem and rejects it too. This means that the ONLY filesystem format it will deal with on a MicroSD is FAT32. So my 256GB space shows up correctly as "250GB" but I can't for example store my Signal backup on it because it is >4GB. The device itself's camera is readily capable of storing files larger than 4GB but you can't store that on your own MicroSD either. Second thing that nearly was a deal-breaker: For reasons unknown, Signal doesn't end up correctly whitelisted for the Android deviceidle feature regardless of all UI-based battery settings/disabling/etc. Th

Opting out of ChatGPT data sharing locked me out so hard I cant even cancel Plus 31 by taylorfinley | 2 comments on Hacker News. Just a cautionary tale: I filled out the Google form to disallow my data to be used for training models. Minutes later I was completely locked out of ChatGPT. I have a Plus subscription and I can't even cancel it because doing so requires using the chatGPT UI, which I'm locked out of. I'm also a paid user of the API, but I can't see any billing options relating to Plus in the API settings pages. I reached out to support, but it says they usually reply in a week. It's valuable enough to me that I'll probably open a second account and just pay twice so I don't get blocked entirely for initiating a dispute. Lesson learned, I guess!

From crypto to AI, it feels this industry has more than ever been swayed by hype and herd mentality. I've had so many conversations with PMs, execs, and VCs in the space who have no real interest in understanding the current state of tech or developing their own vision for where we could be headed. Many are just looking to create "value" for their own shameless self-enrichment. In your specific niches and domains, however big or small, who would say have been real pioneers who've held steadfastly to a vision of the world based on their own unique set of values?

Working for a startup? You're getting screwed 10 by brlimie | 5 comments on Hacker News. I worked for a startup. When I graduated from Stanford, I joined two Harvard Business School grads to start a company that later raised millions in funding. All good. Problem? They ended up screwing me over and taking my shares. Here's what it is really like working for a startup. You're going to have to work over 100 hours a week, and you'll think that you're going to be rich. You'll hope for the best. Your business partners will smile at you and reassure you that you're going to make millions. Some of you might jump on board without a solid contract in place (big mistake). If you are smart enough, you'll hire a lawyer before any code gets written. Even with a lawyer, though, you are on a vesting schedule - meaning you can still work crazy hours and get screwed. You'll raise millions if you are lucky, and your business partners who are much better at business

Ask HN: Any advice for someone looking to buy an existing business? 3 by 6DM | 8 comments on Hacker News. Hi HN! I may have found an online website that I would like to buy. It is a social media management company. The website is making around $8k a month and they are asking for $250k for it. Seems like a great deal, but when things are too good to be true, I am convinced it is likely a scam. I am pretty nervous about forking over a large chunk of my hard earned money, regardless of the deal I find. Any advice for this process so I can avoid being scammed, or loose money? Tips and tricks to validate the legitimacy of the business? Maybe a recommended checklist based on past experience? A little about my background, I have been a software engineer for the past 10+ years, but I don't love to program anymore. I prefer to think about the business, customers, sales, marketing, etc. and would prefer to pay an employees to do the programming and manage infrastructure with only the occa

I understand the need for security updates but I wish they were not bundled with features, i.e. how Windows 10 updates everything compared to Windows 7 specific update selection. So, I migrated from Windows 7 to Ubuntu, but now Ubuntu is down the same path where everything changes and breaks by itself all the time. Where should I migrate next? How is Mac with updates; is security tradeoff better when staying on old major versions? What flavor of Linux is most like Ubuntu before snaps?

Then I started to write a 4000 lines of program for a personal project because I didn't know a shit about hashmap/function/class/importing/library. Using an extremely limited subset of the language still deliver the stuff. Cos I only know looping in that time, I can comprehend 6 layers of heterogeneous for loops, each layer doing different thing. I can lay out the structure of code (100lines) in my head then write them out. I can translate everything I want to do in code. But then I meet other people in university labs, I find that people actually struggle in coding, even in top tier university's CS department.

Ask HN: LLM Enhanced OCR 2 by dayeye2006 | 1 comments on Hacker News. Has anyone tried experimenting with using LLM to enhance the results OCR. OCR software may produce results that are full of noises (nonsence chars). It's very hard to pattern matching the generated results since the noises are high unpredictable. Does LLM help to "de-noise" the results since they tend to take in char level information and might recognize what are useless information?

What does the data engineering behind LLMs look like? 4 by lostpharoah | 0 comments on Hacker News. I've seen a lot of discussion about key aspects of LLMs like ML (research, architecture), Infrastructure (GPUs, Cloud), and Product (ChatGPT et al) but not much on the data engineering side. A lot of hand waving like you "just" train on the entire public Internet. There must be a ton of complexity here, as well. What is the difference between web scraping and crawling? They are not simply indexing websites, these systems must be extracting and storing vasts amount of data from those crawled sites (hence Reddit, Twitter, etc calling foul). Do these systems rely on tons of proxy IPs? There's probably not too much going on after ingestion beyond storing all this data as text or image in an optimal format for the training system(s) to use.

Ask HN: Do you work nights/weekends? 12 by AskHNWeekends | 12 comments on Hacker News. This question is aimed at folks with "traditional" full time jobs. Those at a high-growth startup or other such scenario, I understand there's intrinsic motivation/expectation to make as much progress as possible. But that's a particular type of role. As well as contractors with multiple gigs, and anyone side-hustling, I imagine odd working hours are common. Those making a reasonable salary as a full-time developer, do you regularly work nights/weekends for that employer? Do you do it because you enjoy the work? Do you do it because you feel obligated? I'm just trying to get a sense of what people do, in various types of roles. Maybe you work nights/weekends, but take time during weekdays for yourself. Maybe you work as little as possible to get the job done. Just trying to start a conversation around what people's working schedules are like.

The AI arms race is going to destroy software engineering forever 3 by concerned_ | 6 comments on Hacker News. The last few months have seen a massive shift in attention to LLMs obviously, and the AI arms race seems to have officially broken out of its research labs into the "real" world. There has been tons of ink spilled on how this will affect and change the world in general, but before AI can do any of that it's going to cause a massive, relentless distraction for every software engineer currently employed, and every place that produces software products. At first, AI adoption may look like a value add, with battle lines being drawn between the haves and the have not. But with significant proliferation and deployment, it's likely that the building of black boxes that nobody truly understands with become the norm. During the deployment phase, attention and resources will be diverted from software development teams doing coding to specialized consultants, who wil
