maxekmanon Arm AGI CPU

What is “agentic AI cloud era” referring to? I honestly don’t know what this buzz-speak is targeting. Running models locally on the server, for cloud workloads? Agentic, that is just a LLM pattern.

maxekmanon Show HN: Jido 2.0, Elixir Agent Framework

Lovely! Thanks for doing the first star!

maxekmanon Show HN: Jido 2.0, Elixir Agent Framework

Thanks for sharing! I’ll definitely check it out.

I just LLM-built an A2A package which is a GenServer-like abstraction. I however missed that there already was another A2A implementation for Elixir. Anyway, I decided to leave it up because the package semantics were different enough. Here it is if anyone is interested: https://github.com/actioncard/a2a-elixir

maxekmanon Cloudflare was down

A precious glimpse of the less seen page renders.

maxekmanon Center for the Alignment of AI Alignment Centers

Very Severence-ish name.

maxekmanon The Universal Tech Tree

That is fantastic! Thanks for providing the link. I was expecting something like that on the submission URL.

maxekmanon German parliament votes as a Git contribution graph

Good idea! I’ll look into the code and check how extendable it is.

maxekmanon German parliament votes as a Git contribution graph

Awesome! I was thinking about implementing something similar for the Swedish government APIs to improve transparency and knowledge of the democratic processes.

I wonder how easy it is to adopt this project to that?

maxekmanon Milk Kanban

I can recommend reading “The Phoenix Project”.

maxekmanon A World Without Engineering Managers?

I was definitely leaning this way too, really well put. Training at work (for all roles) definitely needs an upswing. As a freelance for many years I always made sure to do my own training, be it certifications or meetup groups or conferences. I have little real insight into how common that is nowadays, but I often read that it seems less common.

maxekmanon How I ship projects at big tech companies

I submitted that article over here [1], would be interesting to see a discussion on that in itself.

maxekmanon A World Without Engineering Managers?

I saw this linked from this post the other day [1]. Would be interesting to hear what you think about the ideas in there.

maxekmanon Nvidia H200 Tensor Core GPU

Bohr?

maxekmanon FPGA Dev Boards for $150 or Less

On this awesome list [1] I found the ICEBreaker board [2] which was great to learn on. It’s a fully open source design too [3].

maxekmanon K3s – Lightweight Kubernetes

You should try out OrbStack: https://docs.orbstack.dev/kubernetes/

I switched to it completely, it’s very convenient to have both fast (-est on Mac) Docker support and a really smooth VM setup for running occasional Linux tools (such as Yocto in my case).

Edit: added some background info to my recommendation.

maxekmanon Compile-time safety for enumerations in Go

Here is an issue tracking a possible fix to this: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/19412

maxekmanon Nanosecond timestamp collisions are common

There is some interesting content regarding this in the Timestamps and Sequencing section in this post about the Go execution tracer overhaul: https://go.googlesource.com/proposal/+/ac09a140c3d26f8bb62cb...

maxekmanon Flu and colds are back with a vengeance

I’m hunting tech debt at work, meanwhile there is immunity debt out there!

maxekmanon iOS Ships Dvorak, Finally

I was going to say the exact same thing; to cram the fingers in a small “home row” on a touch screen makes no sense at all. But the opposite does!

maxekmanon Electric vehicles are way more energy-efficient than internal combustion

Really good diagrams illustrating where the energy is used.

maxekmanon In Praise of Stacked PRs

`git rebase -i origin/main` (or HEAD~N or any other base) with the e/edit action on selected commit will do the same with only built in functionality.

maxekmanon The new wave of React state management

Amazing read! Missed it when it trended 10 days ago.

maxekmanon Notes on structured concurrency, or: Go statement considered harmful (2018)

What confused me most about the article was that the code examples (and the author's library) were not in Go.

maxekmanon Ask HN: How do you network with other developers?

I would advice you to join a community on Slack or Discord. There are plenty of them and from my experience they’re often filled with good people and you can often come in contact with the core authors of different libraries and apps.

maxekmanon Ask HN: I want my next startup to be in space tech. Where do I start?

That is a really impressive story. Talk about dedication when going back to school for it!

maxekmanon Ask HN: Are junior developers entitled to work machines?

An argument I like to make in cases like this is the relatively low cost of a good machine, both in relation to salaries and to cheaper machines (the base cost is already more than 50%). This is a classic argument of focusing the cost savings on moving costs, where your employer clearly does the opposite thing here.

maxekmanon Ask HN: How to level up your technical writing?

Thanks for all amazing answers! This community is really incredible and I didn’t expect this depth of responses!

maxekmanon Ask HN: How to level up your technical writing?

A bit like code then, optimize for easy reading rather smarts when writing it.

maxekmanon Ask HN: How to level up your technical writing?

Cool tip! However I don’t think I would have the motivation to do a good job in that (and sadly no time for it).
