Second this. CrossFit is fantastic for community. Not so sure about my knees though!

100%. Beautiful property. Thank you, Lichess, for everything you do.

I have worked as an architect in HCLS technology for 10 years with Google and AWS.

Listening to you stitch all the technology and innovation together, moving from the information world to the physical world, as a patient, almost brought me to tears.

You said this will be the standard of care in 30-years, but the capability is here today. Listening to your recording is a profound moment in my life.

Thank you for sharing your journey.

This is really, really good. I can’t stop reading it. Thank you for writing this.

An interesting comment here.

I can attribute jumping several economic classes to the social skills I honed in high school and college. I have many friendships that are decades-plus and I had 150+ of my invited friends / family attend my wedding.

Emotionally, I do not long for new friends. It's a lot of work to maintain the relationships I have with my friends, family, wife and daughter.

I find aimless socialization these days to be laborious. I just do not give a shit.

I recently moved to NYC. I am at a point in my career where it's networking and politics that will get me ahead. I see a lot of my net-new socialization moving this direction.

I agree with you. This is brilliant. Tele-operation of the humanoid vs. waiting for AI is the key here. Then off-shore the tele-operation when you've smoothed out the edges.

I'll personally wait to own best hardware (Unitree) and purchase my own 3P tele-operation service contract.

Love you Danya. You were one of a kind. See you in due time <3

This is so awesome. Hoping those in the biology field can comment on the significance.

Thank you for spending the time to write this comment. As a solution architect, I don't write production-level code. I did not know of anything beyond unit / functional testing in verification automation.

This is an incredible post for me. You need to have a marketable CV, you need to have a few growth metrics and you need to be in on the joke.

I wonder if Meta would ever try to compete with AWS / MSFT / GOOG for AI workloads

When evaluating use-cases where blockchain technology is leveraged to disintermediate, I came to your same conclusions. Technically novel? Yes, sure. But, for what?

Know of any papers / articles on this stack?

Can you elaborate here? I think I agree with you but I want to know why.

We're replacing old-school bed alarms and call buttons in Senior Living facilities.

The bed sensors that we manufacture are strapped to beds and monitor for out-of-bed, potential infection and medication error via algorithms on-top of real-time vital sign data.

We mount always-on iPad in high traffic area for the nurses to grab alerts. Sirens are mounted in hallways to grab audible attention. The whole system is Zigbee 3.0.

Nurses are leaving the industry in droves. The "Silver Tsunami" is approaching rapidly. We're helping nurses scale and keeping elderly safer in their homes.

For my W2 job, I broker the commercial sale of "real world evidence". It's usually hospital, insurance and pharmaceutical claims data. The buyer is largely big pharma. They want it for things like monitoring a patient's journey and adverse events related to their drugs. There's use-cases in clinical development and pre-market as well.

As archaic as HIPAA is, the tools that we have today to obfuscate PHI (e.g. tokenization) respect the individual's privacy. The major cloud infrastructure providers are all HITRUST certified and ready to sign BAAs to keep everyone accountable.

I think we're in a good place right now for innovation with healthcare data. Multi-modal (think genome + claims + social determinants of health) are starting to become a thing. As a population, we'll benefit from more targeted therapies.

Technology is catching up with the swaths of data that has been amassed since the 2000's. I hope for more innovation vs. shackling it with uninformed regulation.

Vice News Tonight, when it was on HBO, was fantastic. 30-minutes of global headlines moving very quickly. I would have paid $15/month for this show alone.

Just checked out Nix. I can definitely see myself using nix-shell. Do you actually use nix-build? If so, do you like it more than working with the familiar 3P tooling (i.e. docker)?

This is what I am missing as well. I'm a pre-sales technical architect that keeps looking for use-cases where I am able to leverage this technology. 75% of my work is in draw.io and PowerPoint.

Yeah I forgot all about this. Also a lot of anti-Semitism. You had to have some thick skin on the old internet.

Fulcrum, come in!

Indeed. And respectfully, “rofl”.

Was just thinking about this comment

I'm a technical architect by trade. I write clean, concise and discrete product requirement document artifacts. If you can do this and you're able to convey clear parameters of what needs to be done, you can easily score senior developer talent @ $30/HR.

My back-end developer writes Serverless IaC with Python Lambdas for $40/HR. Our app developer writes Swift for $25/HR.

We manufacture a proprietary IoT sensor. I pay $30/HR for an embedded developer to write C in TI CCS. I pay a fixed rate for board layout / schematic / BOM edits.

A hard truth is coding skills are commodity if you know how to modularize and write spec. You don't need perfect English to write beautiful Python / Swift / C. I don't need you in the same timezone because you're pushing to a git repo and we review it when we wake up.

For permanent talent, they're more than happy with $40/HR. They like working with people who know what they're doing, they like that I write a PRD and leave them alone until deadline, and they believe in what we're doing.

I'd disagree here. "Your partner is going to get a cut" is the exact issue. I feel like if you're the CTO, you're going to want to own the relationship between you and talent. You can find very good people on UpWork at $40/HR across all technical disciplines.

I've done all of my hiring via UpWork and will continue to hire via UpWork. After about 2.5 years at this, I prefer talent in Ukraine and Vietnam. Post a project description with good details and pay and you'll have all the talent you can handle. I don't think being in the same timezone matters at all. I have no idea why you'd hire American technical talent when you can get the same talent at 5 - 10x less the cost.

Fair enough. Thank you for the response and the best of luck to you and your team :beers:

Are the analytics only on the application side?

We're an eldercare IoT company and I would say the bulk of our issues are on reliable pairing and maintaining our network mesh. An SDK that I could add and implement either in zigbee2mqtt or directly in our Z-Stack coordinator + router firmware would probably be the most useful to us.

I'm about 2 years into building a business. The craziest paradigm was definitely going from having a huge salary, winning awards and accolades with regularity and having status in a community to having no salary, nobody pats you on the back and being viewed as "another startup guy".

You've really got to be okay with being alone with yourself and you have to have abnormal levels of self-assurance to make it out alive. When the dark thoughts come for me, I get high and go running / yoga. If I didn't have this outlet, I probably would have spun out into a negative, obsessive abyss and bowed out long ago.

I know several developers just like yourself. None of them are on HN.
