Ask HN: Starting FinTech/becoming a card authority in Australia 2 by drekipus | 0 comments on Hacker News. I thought I would ask here because I can't seem to find the information I'm looking for. Australia is going through a "credit card fee debacle" at the moment so search is cluttered. I want to investigate how to become a card issuer/authority without becoming a bank in Australia. The purpose is simple: I give my customer a "credit card" to use for approved merchants. They can go use that credit card for any amount. The list of approved merchants will vary by customer. I don't know where I can find information on doing this in Australia, and I also want to find information on how far I can get without venture capital.

Ask HN: Would a Job Site with Public Applications Be Better? 2 by CM30 | 2 comments on Hacker News. As in, every application for every job is viewable in full by users or the general public, along with information about how far that individual got in the process (rejected before first interview, rejected after 1st/2nd/3rd interview, given offer, hired). This seems like it would help with a few things: 1. It'd accurately show how many candidates applied for each role, and how many were rejected at each stage. 2. It'd indicate what the automated systems/AI/HR department are looking for in a CV/resume, since you could note which skills and past experiences result in an offer and which result in a quick rejection. 3. Ghost jobs would be easily spottable, since no one would be marked as 'hired'. 4. Racism/sexism/classism/ageism/etc could potentially be detected, based on what candidates got chosen and what they filled in during the application (many seem to ask for gender

Tell HN: Texas about to execute Robert Roberson, a 57-year-old man with autism 11 by rossant | 0 comments on Hacker News. On Thursday, Texas is likely to execute Robert Roberson, 57, a man with autism sentenced to death in 2003 after his daughter Nikki died [1, 2]. His conviction is based on the idea that shaken baby syndrome, or abusive head trauma (SBS/AHT), can be reliably diagnosed by a few specific signs—primarily bleeding around the brain and behind the eyes. I first encountered this theory when I was personally suspected of harming my own 5-month-old son back in 2016 [3], my ASD-related difficulty in expressing emotions being used against me. Eventually, the nanny became the main suspect, and she was prosecuted, though my wife and I were not. Four years later, all charges against her were dismissed. It turned out there had been no crime after all: my son had a medical condition that resembled abuse but wasn’t. I discovered that this is extremely common, as the science linking

Ask HN: Health Advice for a Tech Person 3 by sujayk_33 | 2 comments on Hacker News. In a few days, I am turning 22 and I've neglected my health for a long time due to the hustling culture I once admired(I still do at some %), there haven't been any backlashes for me yet but there will be if I continue this, I've decided to follow health first routine. How do you balance between this? Do you have any personal experiences to share with? Any advice is welcome. Thanks

Ask HN: Should I Go Back to College? 3 by hncollege1234 | 0 comments on Hacker News. I've been thinking about going back to college but I'm unsure if it's a good decision or not. I've talked to many friends and family and they also seem split on it. I'm 32 years old and currently working as a senior fullstack developer. I have an associates degree in science but I never pursued a computer science degree, I'm self taught and started with a junior developer position and now around 8 years later, I'm here with a senior developer position. In the past I thought about it but I always felt good about where I stood with my career. I've not something I necessarily love, but I think I'm decent at it and it's a good living. Lately however, after layoffs, the bad job market, and the uncertainty with AI, I've felt more anxious about my future and I've really been putting serious thought into going back to college. I would like to get my electrical

Ask HN: Chrome won't browse to site on same subnet. Safari will, ICMP works 2 by FireBeyond | 1 comments on Hacker News. Weird one that seems to only have begun within the last few Chrome updates: My IP: 10.78.16.20 I want to open an app at 10.78.16.30. Chrome tells me ERR_ADDRESS_UNREACHABLE. Yet Safari can open it. ICMP, SSH works. What gives? Trying to search for an answer to this is painful between all the "check your network, check your modem, restart Chrome" useless answers.

Ask HN: Who is working on AR for blind people 3 by TechDebtDevin | 0 comments on Hacker News. After watching the video on facial recognition using ML + Meta glasses I started wondering if we could use LLMs + Vision models to help blind people augment their surroundings. While I admittedly have no experience with the blind or the methods taught to them that assist them in navigating the world, I have a hunch there's potential to leverage the current LLM/ AI stack to improve upon those methods. Are their any cool companies or open source projects experimenting with this?

Ask HN: What is it with this hate and disdain for interns/junior engineers? 3 by colesantiago | 1 comments on Hacker News. Some examples of this that I have seen so often: No openings for interns or junior engineers, yet the companies and people I talk with, the senior engineers get sick often, lack drive and take longer PTO and their work isn't really that adequate. Blaming interns or junior engineers for simple mistakes, which the senior which also should have seen. Not training interns or junior engineers to become senior and be given more responsibility, I'm assuming we are all aware of the bus factor here. All the while where some really smart interns or junior engineers come out of prestigious institutions (Oxford, Cambridge, MIT, Stanford, Harvard, etc), with a stunning body of work and can absolutely run rings around engineers that are called 'senior' in title only and don't have a body of work to show when they leave. It is no wonder senior engineers are

Ask HN: Do you track how your email address is used? 3 by themingus | 4 comments on Hacker News. If you want to know when your email is sold or shared, there are several strategies to know who the culprit is. Plus addressing/subaddressing is the practice I hear about the most often, and how I keep track of email use. Do you care about tracking your email? And do you use plus addressing or do something else?

Ask HN: Why Isn't Elixir More Popular? 3 by wkyleg | 1 comments on Hacker News. It seems that when implemented correctly, running full-stack Elixir can greatly simplify complicated distributed systems. In-memory storage can replace a cache, and the architecture itself can replace a message queue. Horizontal or even vertical scaling can replace complicated scaling mechanisms. There are plenty of advantages to running data pipelines in parallel too. There's also a huge trend now away from managed cloud services (ZIRP), and it seems like Elixir with a database on the same machine or network could deliver great performance and scalability. So why don't more people use Elixir? I've read some complaints about the lack of static types or not having as many developers. But if those were the only constraints, one would think that they could be overcome, or some service could just greatly simplify Elixir deployments.

Ask HN: Is iOS 18 Screen Mirroring a backdoor? 2 by sureIy | 1 comments on Hacker News. This new iOS 18 feature lets you use your "turned-off" iPhone without ever inputting your PIN code. To me this is the exact definition of a backdoor. It's true that this is only possible when you're logged into a computer that is logged into the same Apple Account, but this setup feels eerily similar to the ability by Apple to use your phone remotely. Are my worries unfounded? I feel that Apple should secure this better or at least explain how this is already secure. Their help pages are very vague on this.

Ask HN: Why is the .IO gTLD uncertainty not getting press here? 3 by binarymax | 11 comments on Hacker News. There have been a small smattering of posts not making the front page. But the news is a BFD for the community here. As I write this there is yet another startup launching with an IO domain on the front page. We need to be aware of this issue as a community and potentially petition ICANN to find a way to keep the IO domain alive.

Ask HN: Is CAPTCHA even needed anymore? 4 by dusted | 1 comments on Hacker News. I'm running a few small sites with various forms for submitting information for my perusal. They are used by vistors to my sites, and I've done a bit behind the scenes to guard against various types of attacks, such as length limits, rate limits and a bit other stuff. But one thing I've not put there, is CAPTCHA.. On one of the forms, I politely ask that the sender include todays date somewhere in the text, which I then validate to be within +/- 25 hours of the server time.. In other places, I've not even done that and.. I'm not getting spams, I'm not getting robot messages or massive abuse.. Did the scammers and spammers realize that stuffing every input field on the web with commercial links and javascript exploits dosen't actually work ? Back in the day, I remember having to jump through several hoops to avoid automated spams and angry teenagers trying to flood my inboxes.

Ask HN: What do you do for online privacy? 4 by deafpolygon | 0 comments on Hacker News. Two years ago, I submitted this: https://ift.tt/sJ6LGQX which turned up some interesting comments. I thought I'd revisit this topic now that it's been almost two years. # Applications, Operating Systems Do you run specific browsers, and why? Do you have specific applications that you use to protect your privacy? Do you engage in any kind of hardening? Do you run any specific kind of operating system (say, Windows, Mac, etc) and why? Does it matter to you personally whether you are tracked? # Online Storage For example, do you store files on cloud storage as-is? If so, what kind of criteria do you have for that? Do you encrypt all files before they go anywhere? Does AES128 or AES256 encryption provide reasonable protections? # Social Media Do you avoid or block social media? If so or if not, why?

Ask HN: Going to oncology (just for adjuvant chemo) how to prepare mentally? 6 by RicoElectrico | 4 comments on Hacker News. I had an orchidectomy due to a non-seminoma. Because of the histopathology results, just to be safe I'm going to have 1 round of adjuvant chemo (BEP regimen) in 10 days. There was no metastasis detected - I am essentially healthy at this point, it is done out of abundance of caution given how the cancer cells spread outside the tumor (still all within the excised tissue). However I am afraid the human suffering on the oncology ward will hit me hard. Already, when waiting for a PET scan, seeing a bald 6-year-old kid made me feel uneasy. What to do? How not to lose sanity?

Ask HN: How you all do sales research? 2 by quoteexcec | 4 comments on Hacker News. My friend who does enterprise sales manually ctrl-F keywords on news, company reports and earning calls etc to see if the management of the target companies had publicly shown interest in his solution or problem so he can quote them in his call. Any of you do something similar in sales? Any other sales prep routine you have?

Ask HN: Tech Approach to Porch Pirates? 3 by A4ET8a8uTh0 | 18 comments on Hacker News. Tis the season for porch pirates. I had a minor incident with porch pirate and while minor it was annoying. I mostly refuse to install cameras, but as a result I am debating Fallout style rotating turrets watching people walking up the stairs. Obviously not plasma turrets, calm down. I am clearly joking. Anyway, I wondered if anyone was playing with anything beyond just reporting/passing video to cops ( if they have a recording )?

Ask HN: Any Modern, Serverless Alternatives to Lobste.rs? 3 by contctlink | 0 comments on Hacker News. I’ve been a fan of Lobste.rs for its great community and invite-only model. Recently, I’ve been wondering if there are any modern alternatives out there—especially those that use a serverless architecture. I'm particularly looking for open-source options or any unique takes that embrace scalability and low maintenance through serverless tech. Anyone seen anything cool or working on something similar? Would love to hear your thoughts!

Ask HN: What do embedded engineers do? 11 by meekasan | 6 comments on Hacker News. I would very much like to transition to doing more embedded type software that is closer to interfacing directly with hardware, but my only experience in this has been writing code for Arduino, different Raspberry Pi flavors, and sometimes the ESP8266. I really enjoy doing these kinds of projects but through all the effort of making it as easy as possible for people to write, compile, and use code on these embedded chips I've never gotten the sense that people would be willing to pay me to do similar type of work. I'm not under the impression that writing firmware or doing lower level programming is all like this, so I would like to hear what kinds of projects and challenges people who may have actually been employed doing work like this have come across. Was it interesting work? Is this type of software engineering in demand?

Ask HN: How are you extracting the best performance out of your RAG pipeline? 2 by imaravind | 0 comments on Hacker News. I've been working on various RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) projects, and I'm curious if you all are seeing any generalizeable patterns in building the most performant RAG for any given dataset? For eg: is it even possible to say that in “most” cases, the best retriever setup is going to be a combination of semantic search (embeddings) + keyword search (BM25) + some xyz technique? My hypothesis is that there’s no one-size-fits-all RAG design - every dataset is unique, every use-case is nuanced - and therefore, requires a uniquely optimized RAG pipeline. And it’s practically impossible to find the most optimal RAG setup for your dataset with a manual-trial-and-error approach - because the combinations of the different parameters of a RAG grow exponentially with each parameter (For eg: if you could choose from 5 different chunking strategies, 5 differ

References for graphical models and compuatational graphs? 1 by ronald_raygun | 0 comments on Hacker News. Hey, It seems to me like there is a lot of cool stuff that lives ontop of basically neat forms of on doing deep math based on graphical structures (like NN computational graphs/backprop, traditional graphical models, data provenance, differential privacy to some extent, etc). This seems to be 1. newer stuff 2. cross sub discipline boundaries, so I was wondering if any of y'all knew a good text book to get into these and the broader theory and math
