Ask HN: What do you do when you're stuck in a job and overworked?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41595159I work in an entry level position as a call taker at a Bank. I was given a small project to work on that would involve creating a database and VBA form that would allow our managers to select weekend schedules. It quickly ballooned into an entire application as more and more things were asked to be added, and I spent 3 months working on it. During this time I asked about raises, or if there was a different position I could be moved to since this had become a full-time project, and I was told that I was being a "Team Player" and that "Goes a long way".I would like to note here that any time I spend working on this instead of taking phone calls reflects on my call statistics, and how those look affects everything from the schedules I am allowed to work to the opportunities I am offered. I talked to a few colleagues about how I could begin to step away from this, and was told that doing so would result in some kind of retaliation; that even if I wasn't fired, I would essentially have no m

An Interesting Zero Knowledge Use Case?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41592538Preface: I’m a student (in my 30’s, went back to school for an MS in CS), so I view this mostly as a learning exercise.I’ve been curious about crypto for a while, and recently started learning about ZK Proofs, Plonk, SNARKs, zkvms, etc.I wonder if an immediate application could be something along the lines of Bot proof/proof of personhood, which seems to be a difficult problem and appears to be getting more difficult with AI (though correct me if I’m wrong). When I think about it, truly proving someone is a bot seems difficult without meeting them in real life and sitting side by side with them while they interact online. And yet, what if each of us could monitor our entire Internet activity i.e. locally store the packets we send and receive, and then provide a ZK-Proof of this history to anyone who asks during a login process. This would exist at the protocol level perhaps, or maybe built in to the browser. But the whole idea is that certain packets would be impossible for a bot to ge

Ask HN: Passionate bootcamper without a degree seeking advicehttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41592536I have long been interested in programming, but became passionate about it a couple years ago. I am determined to make it my full-time job.I would like advice on the following:How to:become goal-oriented?differentiate myself from "boot-campers/coders" on job applications?What should my portfolio look like? Now just some ragtag projects and one-off scripting solutions. I have some big ideas, but having trouble committing.A little background:I was working studiously toward becoming a web developer until I got spooked by job data and the AI hype this past March, pivoted to ML, hated it, worked through a C textbook, considered embedded/hardware but think it's probably out-of-reach/unrealistic goal, so I'm back to Rails.I have a degree from a good university, but:it is a philosophy degreeI graduated with a 2.6 GPA, so grad school feels out-of-reachI have a family, so not tons of extracurricular time. Luckily, my job is so easy that I only work for a few hours per week.I have a senior role i

Show HN: I made crowdwave – imagine Twitter/Reddit but every post is a voicemailhttps://www.crowdwave.comHey it's Andrew - author of https://www.crowdwave.com here!- crowdwave works best on your phone - unless you've got your headset and microphone plugged in to your desktop, in which case desktop works great too.Here's the story:So about six months ago I saw this post on HN https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39910119https://afterthebeep.tel is really cool - it's an anonymous voicemail box - you call the provided phone the number and leave a message. Blaine - the guy who runs the site (eventually) listens to and approves your message and writes a headline. It was fun, and I found I kept going back to it and listening to the messages. I left a message once and several weeks later it appeared on the site. Blaine, from comments I read, didn't seem in a hurry to take the site much further, which got me thinking...And I simply could not get one question out of my head - "what would happen if users could just hit record on their phone, instead of having to dial a phone number?".When I get a s

Ask HN: Good Sites for/with AI Enthusiasts?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41579134As an enthusiast sometimes I feel that I get stuck in a corner and could use some overview. A newsforum about AI engineering could help. E.g. most articles about practical things (think civitai guides), some articles dive deeper into how this tech works (think 3b1b). Do you know a good one?I only google things and am not e-social, so may miss something obvious like “civitai’s good though, why” or “there’s tech jesus but for AI on YT”.Interested: AI tech, SD inference and training, local LLM models and prompting/settings, VLMs, TTSs, other models, scripts, experiments, popsci.Disinterested: CEO said, politics, winter, alignment, eats us all, not a human, etc.I can provide my lora training and automation experience, for the most part (around 100 sd 1.5 loras, few versions each).

Reinventing the Clock: NASA’s New Tech for Space Timekeepinghttps://www.nasa.gov/technology/goddard-tech/reinventing-the-clock-nasas-new-tech-for-space-timekeeping/Here on Earth, it might not matter if your wristwatch runs a few seconds slow. But crucial spacecraft functions need accuracy down to one billionth of a second or less. Navigating with GPS, for example, relies on precise timing signals from satellites to pinpoint locations. Three teams at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, are at work to push timekeeping for space exploration to new levels of precision.

Show HN: Universal Logger for Node, Deno, Bun, Browserhttps://adzejs.comHey everyone, I had posted about my project https://adzejs.com a couple of years ago and it was met with a lot of interest, so I'm writing about the major v2 update that's just been released to see if anyone is interested.What makes Adze interesting compared to other logging libraries like pino, bunyan, winston, etc?Adze is universal. This means that Adze will "just work" in all of your environments. This is especially handy when working with SSR projects like sveltekit, nuxt, next, etc. You can also use Adze with Bun or Deno without any special adaptations or considerations.Adze 2.x is also smaller (13.29kb minified and brotlied) and faster than the original. Benchmarks put it at generating 100,000 logs in ~700ms.Version 2 also offers a cleaner API than version 1 as it no longer uses factories and instead uses static class methods. import adze from 'adze'; // Generating a log adze.timestamp.ns('foo').log('A log with a timestamp and namespace.'); // Making a child logger const logger =
