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).

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

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.

Bookmarked! Awesome, thanks.

Just getting into homebrewing / jailbreaking old handhelds and consoles, and I really do feel like I missed a golden age of hacking that I would have loved. That said, I don't know if the tenacity I had back then would be enough to endure the steeper learning curve. Still, I would have loved to see my own work running on my DS.

Whoah, this is great! Thanks for sharing

I don't have an issue with the style personally. I actually like being able to navigate the whole page without clicking through pages. Looks like the content is the same too? Although that's just a glance comparing random snippets.

Despite the timestamp, I originally uploaded this a day ago and can no longer edit the title. My bad! I didn’t notice how dated the page was until it was too late. Thanks for the link, I’ve been mulling over getting a DSPico to tinker on my old DS.

Seeking a junior/entry/mid role at a startup or contract work. I interned at Google and have worked with a YC-backed startup. I can do full stack and have interests in systems engineering, distributed systems, and AI engineering.

Most recently, I built an operating system that plays Pong (https://github.com/Daves1245/horizonOS). I'm currently working on implementing the transformer architecture from scratch, and plan to make my own inference engine as well. My other projects include a multiplayer leetcode site (https://ternarysearch.com) inspired by binarysearch.com, a discord bot to answer questions about a github repo using RAG, a shabby discord clone to learn system design, a community-driven site that vibe codes itself, and home labbing.

Not sure if I second this or not. I did want to scroll, but I don't know how much of that was influenced from the context or the extreme minimalism making me want to look for more - I'm interested in how I would have reacted to the site not knowing it had scroll fade. I could see an argument with the "Don't Make Me Think" principle.

Gladly! Since my last comment I added sound support through an ac97 driver. It was fairly straightforward in hindsight, only had an issue with the interrupt not being handled - turns out my ISR stubs weren't fleshed out to handle IRQs, just the cpu exceptions. Also had a minor bug where addresses outside of the kernel weren't getting translated properly, which I hadn't tested before and assumed to be correct.

I probably could have saved myself 2+ hours of debugging if I had simply stopped working off of assumptions that my driver code was wrong (it was, but that just took reading the spec and checking out some drivers for reference) and doing a root cause analysis with `objdump` or through QEMU. Still surprised how far you can go with vanilla debugging prints - when I started this project, I was sure that I'd become fluent in gdb as a byproduct, but I stopped using it once it would break when the stack became corrupted and haven't tried it since.

Discussion is the reason I made the jump from lurking to having an account on HN. Happy to talk - reached out to you on twitter. And good luck to you as well :^)

Very cool! I just added a ps/2 keyboard driver to my kernel and I’m looking into scheduler / user mode and FAT filesystem support at the moment

I just finished adding uACPI to my hobby OS and have all the pieces necessary to write up a crude version of Pong. Since pong was my first ‘real’ project when I started teaching myself how to code, this has that extra bit of sentimentality for me :)

navigational overlay and real time translation/subtitles would be huge, just off the top of my head

The labor market isn't adjusting. It's snapping.

I’m going to lose it the day this becomes vernacular.
