Well yeah, it's because canadian "founders" have a ripe reputation of working in the U.S. while on visitor visas...

Optane was incredible. It's insane that Intel dropped this.

This is awesome!
jerryseff··on Ask HN: Hackathons feel fake now
Even in college they always seemed like a waste of time. Cool to meet new people, but to "build" something and win was always a fools errand.

This was further enforced when I drove up to attend Hack the North at U Waterloo with a few friends from Boston. One of the contestants stayed up so late he tore a muscle in his eye and now has a permanent deformity / disability.

As an adult I'd simply never even show up to such an event, if my employer wants to pay me overtime sure - but I'd still say no.

Build cool things, get normal amounts of sleep. It's not about the clout its about improving as an engineer.

jerryseff··on How Can I Grow My AI Image Detection App (ImgDetect) Organically?
I genuinely think most people don't see identifying whether an image is AI generated or not, especially with a dedicated app, as a problem they're willing to pay to solve.

App looks cool, but I think more of the issue with growths is few people needing the app altogether.

Would be cool just to see the code written to do this!
jerryseff··on Virginia passes law to enforce maximum vehicle speeds for repeat speeders
I actually fully agree with this.

Don't remove the rights of normal folks not breaking the law because a few people have zero sense or respect for the safety of others.

Both sides of the isle could learn a lot from this kind of thinking...

jerryseff··on GPU Price Tracker
Any plans to make this available as an API / link to common purchase links for each to back the "live" pricing data?
jerryseff··on How NASA Is Using Graph Technology and LLMs to Build a People Knowledge Graph
Memgraph is laughably expensive - I honestly wonder what anyone actually uses it for outside of companies that just don't care about infra spend.
jerryseff··on Ask HN: My CEO wants to go hard on AI. What do I do?
Just create a project spec that can't screw you but adds plenty of easy consulting hours.

Sounds like a win-win.
