Reasonable advice. But I am in a fortunate position where I can do somethings just for thrills.

>> Why not at least ask for equity?

These are my monthly expenses. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42049000

Side projects wont make a dent in them. Or won't materially imrpove anything for me.

>>Or make your own project? I have gone down that route. But w.r.t my own projects, I am stuck in a local minima.

>>There are so many possible projects that are more about marketing than substance, where you could build the technical side quite quickly (e.g an LLM wrapper with a RAG for [insert niche here]).

Agreed. But this of this offer as a hobby rather than a money making avenue. Something to do for fun

Can someone tell how to get the same graphics as an image? I dont need the e-reader part, I just need the weather as in image

>> but the new administration hasn't even gone into office and I cannot get away from this.

Well, it cuts both ways. New administration should not be talking till they are in office.

I have ideas and experience but no time. I will tell the intern what to code and he/she will code it up for me. Example: I want a webpage with all youtube links posted to HN in last 24 hours. He will make it for me http://blogsearchfrontend.interviewblindspots.com/vanavil/hn...

Another example. Go to all common crawl, identify all webpages related to NCSU, download images in them, run YOLO to remove human faces, run Falcon model to remove logos and see what comes up. Intern will code it up for me.

When FAANG was all the rage, I had a hard time getting feedback on my coding skills. So, I made a website where candidates can post their code and experiences folks can give their feedback.

You post the question, role description and your solution. Somebody will give you feedback. Still in beta, but do give it a try.

It is just better to assume that ghosting is usual practice and any deviation is a welcome change. You, as a candidate, are trying to make a sale. Buyer has not obligation to get back to you, just like when you take a quote from someone for home repairs.

visualize them in one view so I can understand how data is flowing from input to output

dot/vimdot/graphviz promises to do it but I was not able to get it to work yet

Wow. I had not thought of that. While idea makes sense, even MVP for this is going to be daunting

My use case is that I have a graph of flops, latches, buffers, AND, OR, NOT gates and I want to visualize how data is changing/getting corrupted as it goes through each of them.

Thanks to everybody who replied. I will scale my ambitions for now. How can I visualize a one billion node graph. Lets say I want to visualize transitors in a modern AI chip (around 1B nodes). My original use case was to set color on various compinents on a transistor and visualize it. For example, all flops will have one color, all buffers another color, and then I wanted to visualize their distribution on the semiconductor die.

I feel you my friend. I am in exactly same boat. I even asked here previously on what CSS resources I can ready/follow.

Ultimately, I gave up and hired frontend engineers from low cost countries to build the frontend for me. I just write backend APIs. Life has been much better with this strategy. One thing that may help though is to pick tailwind css. It may ease the pain to some extent.

To anyone who says use codepen, MDN docs, smashingmagazine CSS tutorials, inspect console and a bunch of other resources, I tell them this. None of these tutorials help you when you have to reason why things are not coming out the way you expect them to. There is no "compiler" for CSS which spits out error messages. You cant describe a behavior and ask the browser to tell why given CSS will not give said behavior. Most tutorials are about simple boxes and simple websites. When you have to modify something in a complex webapp, it pays to do it under an able mentor.

Every big tech company is trying to do this. FB (through whatsapp), Google (through chrome/Android), Apple (through Safari/iOS/etc). As soon as they meet their internal metrics, they will release these to public

I hate that, on the linked page, most of the good ones are paid templates. :( Is there a repository of high quality but free templates. I hate to use bait and switch websites/frameworks.

Please see my other comment. They say they do fund with just an idea. But I agree with your sentiment. Thats why I am asking :)

From their FAQ, https://www.ycombinator.com/faq

No, it would be a mistake to wait to apply. On average, *40% of the companies we fund in each batch are just an idea*. Most don’t have any revenue.

My friend (former MSFT principal engineer) is actually developing this idea as a startup. He has a MVP. If interested, I can connect you two. Email in profile.

It baffles me that US supreme court justices can be given "progressive" vs "conservatives" labels. Aren't they expected to be impartial?

Even in a country like India with weaker rule of law, the courts and judges never take sides with political parties.

How can a poor peasant start using Bing APIs? They seem to cost a ton. Do I have to raise money before I even attempt a metasearch engine.

Looks interesting. I will check it out
