Symbolic.ai | Senior Fullstack Engineer | REMOTE (worldwide) | Full-time

Symbolic builds the AI platform that professional newsrooms and communications teams actually run their work on: research, drafting, fact-checking, and publishing, with editorial integrity as the constraint rather than an afterthought. Founded in 2023 by Devin Wenig (former eBay CEO) and Jon Stokes (Ars Technica co-founder), ~$12M raised, small team. Clients include News Corp, WSJ, Dow Jones Newswires.

We are looking to expand the venn diagram of our fullstack team in the direction of very advanced React expertise. While this is a fullstack position, we are seeking someone who has worked on the frontend of complex real-time collaboration products built in React.

A terminal manager for Claude Code: https://github.com/gi11es/deckard

The main goal is to reduce cognitive load managing many Claude Code and terminal sessions in parallel, while keeping things simple with a design focused on peripheral awareness of session status. And making everything resumable. The Claude session explorer also supports forking past sessions mid-conversation.

Overall this is designed to support the Claude-first software development workflows I've developed over the past year.

I’m talking about the library support, “libghostty”. It’s what cmux and others are built on top of. There’s nothing difficult about it, I’ve just found it very unstable in the way I used it. I’ve switched to SwiftTerm now.

Show HN: Deckard, Claude-first terminal manager

https://github.com/gi11es/deckard

After a year of producing all my code through Claude Code, I was growing frustrated with losing Terminal tabs and not noticing when sessions are ready to continue. I looked around at all the terminal managers people have been building for this type of workflow and couldn't find anything that worked for me. Cmux came close but was too buggy in the area I cared the most about: knowing when my...

Boulevard | Full-time | Anywhere | Remote

We’re looking for a Frontend Architect to complete my team (Architecture) at Boulevard ( https://www.joinblvd.com/ ). The position is fully remote (the whole company is).

Boulevard is a UX-focused series C startup building a fully integrated product suite for appointment-based self-care businesses. It’s also a FinTech startup, being its own PayFac. Boulevard already processes more than $1B annually. The context of this position is the newly created Architecture team, which aims to be a knowledge resource for the whole engineering organization. We have the most senior backend engineers in the org on the team already, but the company doesn’t currently have any principal frontend engineers or beyond.

We expect the Frontend Architect to be our utmost leader on Frontend code. They should build consensus on best practices and tooling, raise the bar for frontend engineering across all our teams. They should facilitate, guide and lead major evolutions of our frontend architecture. They should lead the creation of reusable component libraries.

We’re looking for someone who’s a React expert, who has built advanced fully dynamic feature-rich web applications and who has demonstrated experience as a leader.

20+ years of remote work experience in fully distributed teams as a senior software engineer, tech lead and engineering manager. I was most recently the engineering manager of the Performance team at the Wikimedia Foundation, responsible for the performance of Wikipedia (4th largest website by traffic, 1B unique devices per month).

I’m an expert in web performance, including in the context of large-scale high traffic websites running on distributed systems. I have years of experience leading and growing highly productive engineering teams, building and shipping complex projects. I’ve published original research that furthered the field of web performance. I’ve spoken at large conferences and organized performance tracks. I was responsible for the Wikimedia Foundation to join the W3C and represented it there.

I’m looking for a leadership position as an engineering manager, head of engineering or CTO depending on the size of the organization.

Re:Art Made with Artificial Intelligence Wins at State Fair on Saturday November 26, 2022 @03:39AM (#33751042)
I’m talking about concrete examples of well-known artists, let’s not confuse this with the delusions of sociopathic CEOs taking credit for other people’s work and constructing a fictional vision a posteriori for the media. There’s nothing artistic there.
Re:Art Made with Artificial Intelligence Wins at State Fair on Saturday November 26, 2022 @03:24AM (#33750949)
On this debate people are confusing artistic illustration skills with creating art. An artist created this artwork at the state fair, not the AI. The artist had a vision, directed the AI towards that outcome and selected the result they wanted.

Some very famous artist exposed in museums today don’t physically hold the tools that « make » the artwork, they direct a team of assistants who act as their hands. Some like to hold the paintbrush themselves but they don’t have to and that’s why it’s not a criteria for whether they are the artist or not.

Much like a movie director directing a team to create a movie doesn’t hold the mic boom or deal with the photography themselves. They orchestrate other humans into creating the piece of art they have envisioned.

This is exactly the same. Instead of a known visual artist directing art students to fabricate the artwork they’ve envisioned, the artist directs the AI.

Shipped complex web projects and managed distributed teams remotely for 20 years. I've worked both at startups and very high traffic established organisations (eg. Wikipedia, 4th largest website worldwide by traffic). I'm a web performance expert, having published original research on this topic and led the Wikipedia Performance team for years.

I'm looking for part-time work, with a preference for engineering management/fractional CTO opportunities.

I charge my EV with free solar energy 90% of the time. Can't dig my own gas out of the ground for an ICE. Hopefully that kind of setup will become cheaper and more accessible to many.

EVs aside, every bare roof is a missed opportunity for solar anyway. It should be mandatory for every overground parking lot to be covered in solar panels, same for every newly built residential and office building. If this sort of policy was in place, there would be a lot more locally generated electricity for heating and charging EVs that doesn't need to be transported over long distances.

Re:Help me figure out how I lost this bet to an engineer on Wednesday September 11, 2013 @04:37PM (#6369873)
Some ideas...

- using tools like http://www.pictriev.com/ or similar offline solutions to get a pretty good estimate of her age.

- using image analysis to "fingerprint" the camera used to take the picture. Then crawling sites where she would be likely to post pictures (twitter, etc.) based on the suspected area and comparing to find matches (i.e. pictures taken with the same camera). I'm not sure what the current state-of-the-art is for those algorithms, but if for instance the camera displayed an obvious visible flaw (darker spot), it would have made it easier. On a perfectly clean camera without visible defects I assume that more than one picture is necessary for effective camera fingerprinting.

- using tools like http://graphics.cs.cmu.edu/projects/im2gps/ to try and determine the location just based on visual features.

Re:We got hacked on Monday May 13, 2013 @04:08AM (#5697657)
They're lying or confused, the data I have is definite proof. 9gag's password and ours were hashed unsalted with MySQL's PASSWORD(). I'll reply on that comment.
Re:We got hacked on Friday May 10, 2013 @06:01PM (#5688914)
They were using and probably are still using unsalted MySQL 4.1+ PASSWORD()

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5677550

Also, in addition to confirming that our own hash was genuine, 9gag's password was very weak and their hash can be reversed with online rainbow tables.
name.com's passwords were (still are?) not encrypted. They're unsalted MySQL 4.1 PASSWORD() hashes.
The name.com sample data HTP showed in their log by querying the database was real. Source: I work for one of the companies they used as sample rows when querying the name.com DB. Our head of ops confirmed that the hash in the HTP log was indeed the MySQL 4.1 PASSWORD() unsalted hash of our password at the time. name.com is kind of generous with the term "encrypted" in their email.
Re:The story around the Linode hack on Tuesday May 07, 2013 @11:41AM (#5668670)
Looking at the hash found in the query HTP ran, 9gag's name.com password was "harry1" at the time of the exploit. It also tells us name.com stores the passwords as unsalted MySQL 4.1 PASSWORD() hashes...
