Austria, and Vienna in particular has always held a special place in my heart

Do we know if they have programs like this for high skill tech workers or is it just PhDs at this point?

I'm not the blog writer but I found this summed up my thoughts on the new Claude Xcode integration perfectly

How would one discover which VOIP providers are the source of calls?

An interesting thing about blue collar work, especially when you’re your own boss, is that when things get more expensive, you can raise your rates

When you have a salary, you’re getting paid what you’re getting paid and nothing more and hoping whatever raise might come is better than inflation

If it’s behind a software lock, then a resourceful cracker can find a way to get around it

Welcome to the era of jailbreaking cars

It would be interesting to see what these hackers are doing in interviews such that they’re landing so many jobs

There’s probably even recorded interviews out there with the candidates as data

Intel Job Losses Mount as 4,000 layoffs are reported across multiple sites

By making this comment you changed the outcome

> This sounds like a bad idea if you're trying to convince people from NYC to move to FL, which sounds like a bad idea for the businesses it's presumably trying to serve.

Employees, yes. But the execs at these big firms would love to have more control over their best people so they have less leverage

Employees unfortunately need employers to pay them, so they will take the deal they can get

If your options all move to Florida, guess where you’re moving

Also Nir Eyal’s Hooked, which used to be standard reading at tech startups in the “Growth Hacking” era

Title should be “Millions of Résumés Never Make It Past the Bots. One Man Is Trying to Find Out Why.”

No idea why HN is cutting off the first word

> Every time I do something I add another layer of AI automation/enhancement to my personal dev setup with the goal of trying to see how much I can extend my own ability to produce while delivering high quality projects

Can you give some examples? What’s worked well?

Doesn’t Sam Altman own a crypto currency company [1] that specifically collects biometric data to identify people?

Seems familiar…

If the new foundation models are on device, does that mean they’re limited to information they were trained on up to that point?

Or do have the ability to reach out to the internet for up to the moment information?

I was really hoping this would be the colorful plastic backs of the early 2000s iMacs we had in school

And leave us with Microsoft Teams?

You monster

Don’t have time to read this so I saved it in Pocket, I’ll probably get to it in a few months…

But in all seriousness I’ve got about 1000 articles I need to store and browse…somewhere when Pocket EoLs

Do we have any guarantee that enabling ADP utilizes a new key that isn’t already in a previous non-ADP back up?

Would be a shame if they claimed they can’t decrypt but an old back up had the keys to the kingdom

> lunch … starting around 1pm, and going on until 4 or 5pm

So wait when do they get work done? Do they just work later into the night?

xAI / AI = x

Makes sense mathematically XD

I’d flip it:

If I ran a bacon company and I didn’t have CRISPR pigs I’d advertise in large red print

“CRISPR Free”

Or

“Non-genetically modified”

People are afraid of lab grown meat already, they’ll be terrified of CRISPR meat

My competition won’t be able to advertise the same

What I wonder is did everyone stop posting because there was too much content spam or did they fill the newsfeed with content because everyone stopped posting?

I've been learning Russian off and on for 15 years and was having trouble keeping up in the group chat texting my Russian friends

Most language apps make you select whole words rather than type, so I made an app that focuses on text first

It's helped me find the letters on the keyboard much quicker and rattle off common responses

Check it out! Would love your feedback

They still owe me some cake

Damn guess we have to blow up the stars

…you know, for defense

I'd love to get feedback on what can be improved and where the app should go next

Some ideas I have are:

- Memorization game with the 1000 most common words

- Text to speech - Hear the word when it appears - Add support for other languages - Which if any would you like to see support for?

- Add the ability to type along to a classic fable/expression/poem - the app gives you x seconds to type each word

- Game Center support - Track scores, compete with friends

- iPad/macOS support

- Streak system / Notifications - keep users motivated by helping them track their progress

Anything above sound particularly appealing?

Beyond that: What's missing? What needs improvement? If there was a killer feature you would pay for, what would it be?

They only live twice
