Re:The Alchemy of Semi-Supervision on Thursday October 08, 2026 @05:48PM (#50012854)
Hey HN,

I worked on semi-supervision for computer vision, for a few years.

I wrote this post about it. I think it's a useful technique.

I'm curious if people have thoughts.

Cheers, Stefan

Hey HN,

I wrote this post describing what I think is the simplest stack that supports scalable ML.

I'm curious what people with related interests think.

Interesting, I didn't know this posting might be illegal. Maybe I should delete it.

Look I'm an engineer here and wanted to share that the company is hiring. I don't know the exact numbers.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but California Labor Code 2870 says your employer doesn't have rights over work you do that (1) doesn't relate to your employer's business and (2) didn't result from work you did for your employer.

So even if your employment contract uses language that makes it seem like your employer owns everything you make while you're employed, work you do that qualifies under this code will be protected.

I think this is a great product you've built.
