there was a recent HN post related to this topic https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32186203

I'd add Gossip Glomers [0] which are pretty similar to jepsen-io/maelstrom Documentation [1].

any idea how much could "Hyperfine Swoop System" cost? since pricing is not public

Could Interactive Brokers (IB - https://www.interactivebrokers.com/) be a good alternative? despite is not strictly a bank since it supports multi-currency accounts with good fx-rates.

Twitter is still a good and viable alternative but probably you need to invest a good amount of time and energy to curate your timeline and your following list.

Also need to invest time and energy on twitter search (https://twitter.com/explore) with know-how on search operators (https://github.com/igorbrigadir/twitter-advanced-search) to find the right topics and people you want to have a conversation with.

PD2: looks like today, two tools to achieve chatGPT-like searches were announced:

- Supabase Clippy ‣ https://supabase.com/blog/chatgpt-supabase-docs

- Medable.ai ‣ https://www.mendable.ai/

IMO having your notes locally (instead of using a any `webapp` or `local-first webapp`) + confortable editor (as example, `vscode`) + search tool with a decent speed (as example, like `ripgrep`) is unbeatable.

if you require to sync and save your notes, create a private repo and create a shortcut to do a commit with blank message (`git commit --allow-empty-message -m ''`) + pushing to remote repo at your demand whenever you need it (could be useful to put it in a cronjob)

you won't create an interesting history on your repo but ultimately, regardless of third-party feedback, it must be useful to you.

PD: execute chatGPT-like searches on your own local personal documentation (knowledge base) which automatically scrape content from any link you saved and retrain the model at your demand without the need to pay a monthly subscription would be amazing.

I strongly suggest you take a look at this tweet https://twitter.com/nikitabier/status/1620818629075021825

The same thing happens to me and IMO almost always these are enough:

- HN Search website [0] (with the use of search operators), almost always I remember a keyword from the title and restrict the search between dates (or sort by date if is something recent).

- History Trends Unlimited chrome extension [1], in case I remember the domain.

- A local "personal knowledge base" / "digital garden" / "second brain" [2], in case I want to remember, review, and/or update my notes. "Local" to speed up search (with `ripgrep`[3])

IMO ksnip[1] brings an amazing experience to the user as well, and I highly recommend it.

Hi Peter,

Thanks for this AMA.

What do you think "remote SW Eng around the world" (non US citizens, non US residents and NRA - non resident aliens) COULD/SHOULD do to make the process easier to be hired from US companies or startups? (question is more oriented to legal or tax liabilities and work permissions than meet all technical requirements from job offers)

EDIT: work directly to those companies (as a contractor or, if possible and viable, as an employee - with benefits), not through intermediaries or as a SW shop (B2B deal)
