elintknower··on Show HN: I built an active community of trans people online
open source?
elintknower··on X1Plus: Custom Firmware for Bambu Lab X1 and X1 Carbon 3D Printers
Does this still allow use of the lidar + laser leveling systems?
elintknower··on I'm Peter Roberts, immigration attorney, who does work for YC and startups. AMA
Just apply for any job at Tesla lol
elintknower··on Indians slam MAGA 'war' over H-1B skilled-worker visas as 'racist'
As an diverse american working in tech, the only people I've received openly racist comments from has been indians. This especially applies to women in the office.

I've known more women in tech who have quit because of abject abuse and/or unprofessional conduct from indians in the org or specifically indian managers.

Don't get me started on the caste scuffles that occurred while I was working at amazon...

elintknower··on FFmpeg-Kit Retires
Curious what people suggest moving on to? I assume just re-writing things previously done in ffmpeg-kit with raw metal (at least for IOS)?
elintknower··on Combining 15s interval whole-sky-camera photos to form a 4y spanning keogram
Wonder if they're going to open source the code they used!
elintknower··on Does Majoring in STEM Lead to a STEM Job After Graduation? (2021)
Not with H1B's running rampant...
elintknower··on Botan: Crypto and TLS for Modern C++
Are there any demos using this to sign requests on the ESP32 or similar embedded platforms?
elintknower··on A 10-Year Battery for AirTag
Incredibly cool and stupid simple. Just purchased 10 of them!
elintknower··on Elon Musk is causing problems for the Royal Society
Is this a satire? Honest question.

As a lefty here in the US I don't like Elon, but come on...

elintknower··on A Bird Flu Pandemic Would Be One of the Most Foreseeable Catastrophes in History
Almost akin to importing the third-world into developed nations, not checking their vaccine records and just assuming "it'll all work out".

Really makes you wonder.

elintknower··on Donald Trump and Tulsi Gabbard are coming for the spooks
overwhelmingly a good thing... insane people argue about this from either side of the isle.
elintknower··on Russia fires ICBM at Ukraine for first time
Maybe we should stop letting Ukraine fire weapons only we can target into russia - since we said we wouldn't do that.

Maybe we also shouldn't have given them f-16s since we also said we wouldn't do that.

I'm an american and this war is fretless and just wreckless at this point. I didn't vote for trump but this kind of escalation (from biden) is freaking idiotic.

elintknower··on 14% of remote software engineers do almost no work vs. 6% in office
Wow, they're really trying to kill off remote work after telling us all we had to do it during covid...

I was initially pro office prior to covid - don't see any reason to go back.

elintknower··on Elon Musk is hiring remote workers up to $270k: from any country
Tons of X employees are from all over the middle east and far away nations. Its super cool.
elintknower··on AI hiring bias? Men with Anglo-Saxon names score lower in tech interviews
Yes, AI is racist against groups that are not "accepted" among the current liberal hegemony.

I say this as a progressive black man. It's scary to see this happening in real time while people who look like me claim they're acting in ways to "improve" culture.

elintknower··on Rent H100 SXMs for 0.99
Curious when you'll enable your feature set that makes it possible to contribute compute. I have a few dozen 4090's I'd be interested in bringing online - interested to see how your offering differs from Vast AI or GPUDeploy.

Looks really cool!

elintknower··on 60% of Americans say they probably won't get an updated Covid-19 vaccine
I was fully on board for the vaccine initially, but I've had nearly life-threatening gut issues a few times and now have to deal with all kinds of cardiovascular issues.

It's manageable and not long covid but my doctor said he's never seen this in someone my age (late 20s).

The lack of safety info / bad info provided to sway people like me who used it to do basic risk calculus is beyond criminal.

elintknower··on How to use Common Lisp on NixOS with C libraries
This is cool, but I'm still looking for a true "production grade" public repo showing how NixOS is actually deployed for things like factory test apparatus or embedded linux applications.

Every time Nix seems like it could solve a real problem I encounter with my startup it seems like I'm walking in the dark re-inventing the wheel.

elintknower··on 60% of Americans say they probably won't get an updated Covid-19 vaccine
I lived in new york at the time and I fully regret getting the vaccine. I still got covid with full symptoms.
elintknower··on AI founders are moving to SF from across the world to cash in on the boom
You'd have to pay me with a pile of cash to consider putting up with current SF lol.
elintknower··on 300 people applied to rent $700/month sleeping pods in downtown San Francisco
Sad state of our current reality that educated people are even considering this...
elintknower··on Crises at Boeing and Intel Are a National Emergency
This is what happens when you stop hiring the best people regardless of what color they are. As a minority this is incredibly embarrassing.
elintknower··on Ask HN: Working with a Co-Founder with ADHD
These are good surface level signals... but if they aren't delivering things are clearly not working. If you haven't done a startup before you should know that this is not how things should look. He's either "adhd" or just taking advantage of you.
elintknower··on Ask HN: Working with a Co-Founder with ADHD
Your co-founder doesn't sound ADHD they just sound incompetent.
elintknower··on [dead]
Is this a joke?
elintknower··on NASA freezes Starliner missions
Yes, as a minority immigrant to the US, meritocracy is what got me here. Idk why americans are so obsessed with this air headed topic.
elintknower··on [dead]
I'm a democrat and this kind of nonsense is getting old. Please flag this as political content not intended for HN...
elintknower··on NASA freezes Starliner missions
Yes, because they're an inferior option to supply launch services to the ISS.

Stop apologizing for a company that let their standards slip and endangered the lives of multiple astronauts not to mention wasting billions of tax payer dollars.

elintknower··on My solar-powered and self-hosted website
This is cool, but I mean... come on. This guy lives in a $2M apt in a big city.

The amount of energy being "saved" yearly is wasted almost every second.
