Ideally a founding engineer role at an early stage company, but open to offers. I like sinking my teeth into infra, systems, and AI. Currently working on an agent that helps combat cognitive debt, and monitors my self hosted personal cloud. Previously wrote an OS that plays pong (paging, uACPI, keyboard & sound drivers), and a competitive programming judge. Contracted for ZeroEntropy (YC W25), where I shipped their dashboard and a dev-friendly landing page/blog architecture. Also interned at Google, where I built a C++ telemetry pipeline for GCP network monitoring.

Just started:

1) bad apple on my kernel (OS)

2) language model + inference engine from scratch

3) sketchdaily.net, but you give it your own pinterest board of references instead of the preselected ones they have

Yeah, I get it. ANC can feel like you're underwater sometimes, but ear plugs won't get rid of that pressure feeling. You'd need an actually quiet room, which I guess is my ideal anyways.

I've had these before and can confirm they're great, noticeably lighter than my current Airpods Max.

FYI: I believe the XM4 is still vulnerable to CVE-2025-20700/20701/20702 if that's a concern for you.

> In open spaces I wear earplugs.

Noise canceling headphones do the trick for me, I just don’t play anything through them. I don’t like the feeling of something in my ears.

Seeking a role at a startup with ~1 year of experience. I was part of my university's programming team and my team won the ICPC Southeast regionals Div2 contest. I interned at Google for the Network Doctor team and have done freelance work for a YC-backed startup.

I like working Full Stack, Systems, and AI Engineering. Most recently, I've written an OS that can play Pong (https://github.com/Daves1245/horizon) (demo: https://medbar.dev).

If you're interested, you can schedule a quick chat with me at https://cal.com/david-santamaria-azyqyo/quick-chat

Cool idea. Wish my site drove real traffic instead of bots so I could add this and not confuse/bore visitors :’)

Looks like enemy movements are deterministic, wonder how feasible it is to script this. Was able to increase my score by 4 points trying alternate lines near the end

Email: [email protected]

Looking for founding engineer roles at a startup. I have experience with YC-backed startups, interned at Google, and I'm comfortable across the stack from applications to metal. I have a background in competitive programming and math and spend most of my free time reading technical topics and working on projects that interest me, which usually falls into systems engineering, distributed systems, or AI engineering. Recently been porting DOOM to my hobby OS and working on a personal cloud.

I've made a couple of friends from similar positions in that thread talking about projects and have been the occasional good samaritan reaching out to those whose resume / site is down or locked for some reason. It's not all bots, but it certainly is annoying. Actually, HN has had the highest signal to noise ratio I've seen so far for employment.

Porting doom to my hobby OS and fleshing out my personal cloud with terraform & AWS. Polishing up a project before I open source it.

Skiplist operations are local for the most part, which makes it easier to write thread-safe code for than b-trees in practice. Anecdotally, they were a nice implementation problem for my Java class in uni. But I liked working with b-lists more.

Skip trees/graphs sound interesting, but I can't think of any use case for them off the top of my head.

OP is about a German learning class, so yes, there is a point. AI improving will not learn you a language faster than immersing in it until, I suppose, neural links become mainstream.

Where are these ‘3-story high’ equations you speak of? The most work I see in the article is 3 lines long.

> The classroom should be about using AI better not ignoring it.

No, it shouldn’t. I’m not bearish on AI but it shouldn’t replace any part of a classroom where the objective is to learn and communicate in a new language (German). The typewriter argument is memorable and interesting - the article points out the lack of editing forces kids to slow down and think about their writing, as well as iterate through multiple drafts. It’s not a nostalgia thing, they’re not old enough to have ever used one before.

I could see an argument for adding on a new class for GenAI, agents, context engineering or what have you, but considering how behind current US curriculums already are and how quickly the AI field moves, I can only see this ending in wasted time and money: even an up to date class will be stale by the time it’s over. Kids will end up learning this anyway outside of the classroom, no use lecturing them on something they’ll already know.

For anyone interested and with 30 minutes to spare, I would recommend the youtube video [1] by Reducible for an intuition on how FFT works.

Adding a scheduler to my hobby kernel with the goal of a full shell coming soon, and an inference engine from scratch in C++. It's been fun.

No.

I still use vanilla Claude Code without MCP or skills, am I in the minority? Not trying to be a luddite.
