DrMiaow··on Ask HN: Who wants to be hired? (July 2024)
I fixed a few, but it's going to take a long time.

The internet archive aggressively rate-limits, so just finding one image or archived site takes a lot of patience. :(

Thanks! Good idea! It's been a while since I checked the links. I will take a look. :D
DrMiaow··on Ask HN: Who wants to be hired? (July 2024)
Location: Beijing, China

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: Yes, but.... due to my unique diplomatic status, I cannot relocate unless the price is right. I don't need to work, but I will for the right project or company.

Technologies: C, C++, C#, TypeScript, JavaScript, Node.js, React, WEBASM, NGINX, SQL, Redis, Python, AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, Ansible, Terraform, CUDA, Video Encoding, Jupyter, PyTorch, LLMs, MPEG (Low-level video encoding), Linux, TV and Mobile development. HbbTV, ATSC 3.0 (NextTV). OpenTV. Design: Figma, Balsamiq, Adobe CS.

Hi. I'm a highly self-motivated builder and problem solver. Nominated for multiple technical Emmys. You name it, I have built it, at scale. Give me a team, and I will teach them how to do it right and efficiently. My previous project was a Twitch-killing streaming system for 200M+ simultaneous viewers. I can build anything. I can find a solution to any problem. I specialise in building streaming services. If you own a TV you are likely using my software already. For money, I design and build national-scale broadcast systems. Do you want to build a Netflix? I can do that from the ground up. For fun, I am currently building a large-scale AI project in public.

DrMiaow··on Andrej Karpathy on X: "100% Software 2.0 computer.Just a single neural net
That sounds a lot like what I have been building, but not one net. A system for evolving a system that can handle many nets. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqvHjXfbI8o
DrMiaow··on L(O*62).ONG: Make your URL longer
This will be abused. A fun idea that seems harmless until you realize that grifters will use it to obfuscate their grifty payloads.
DrMiaow··on China Pulls Draft Gaming Rules from Website
Beijing has quietly pulled the proposed curbs on the video game industry from the official website, weeks after the draft guidelines wiped tens of billions of dollars off the market value of local titans.

The link to the draft rules was no longer accessible as of this morning, Haitong Securities reported earlier on Tuesday. Shares of Tencent and NetEase jumped on the news. “This could possibly indicate that there will be further changes in the new measures,” wrote Haitong analysts in the note, accessed via S&P Global Market Intelligence.

DrMiaow··on Apple Vision Pro and the importance of tinkering
The system's internal vision and rendering pipeline is really pushing the limits of what can be done now.

The first versions of this kind of thing are often "declarative"; you push your data (with strong limits) to it, and it handles the rest. This way a level of performance can be guaranteed.

It will be a few generations of hardware before the system is more "free."

DrMiaow··on A Command Line for Artificial General Intelligence [video]
A CLI is being developed where the users will primarily be AIs.
DrMiaow··on Online video will soon be better quality than digital television.
Using http://isthisretina.com/ (handy) it looks like the Seiki 50 inch 4k monitor becomes 'retina' at 99cm and the 31.5-inch Asus PQ321 at 64cm..

Personally I sit about 60cm away from my monitor and 50 inch is probably too big for me.. I don't want to strain my neck. :)

DrMiaow··on Show HN: A candle animation, a volume renderer, and a bundle of LEDs
Cool. Reminds me of the old Amiga demo days and many nights spent perfecting "Fire" demos.
