Ballard covered this theme a few different times in his short stories, I believe before this

Yes in 'Studio 5, The Stars' they use a "VT set" to generate poems I really enjoyed reading Vermilion Sands

Its a shame Pierre shut down. Wish they could have made it work. Github but made by Linear would be a dream.

Linear will have something for you soon – https://linear.app/reviews

Pierre didn't shutdown, they said they just paused signups on the code review app to focus on the code storage service.

Productizing the building blocks of the platform seems like the smart play in today's environment honestly.


Sure but I dont want to build my own Github I just want to use a beautiful and faster alternative

We’re shooting for this with Tangled (https://tangled.org). :)

It literally is just a big minimalist computer screen. I drive a taycan and it would be significantly better if they were to remove the massive touchpad and replace it with a cluster of physical controls.

Agreed with absolutely all of this. Really well written. Right now at work we're getting along fine with Actions + WarpBuild but if/when things start getting annoying I'm going to switch us over to Buildkite, which I've used before and greatly enjoyed.

Opus 4.5 is pretty good about following instructions to not do anything destructive, but Gemini 3 Flash actively disregards my advice and just starts running commands. Definitely recommend setting up default-readonly access for stuff like this and requiring some kind of out-of-band escalation process for when you need to do writes/destroys.

I do this but make sure to only have readonly/nondestructive access. It's extremely cool how well it works.

At CloudX (https://cloudx.io) we’re building a new supply-side advertising platform for mobile publishers. Yes, it's ads, and yes, there's AI involved, so stop reading here if that's not interesting to you.

It's a gnarly infra problem with huge scale, combined with an interesting product space that we think legitimately benefits from tasteful AI automation. We're doing cool things with Nitro Enclaves to prove that our auctions are fair. And our founding team have done this before with great success, first at MoPub (sold to Twitter) and MAX (sold to AppLovin).

We're hiring (all remote) for:

- Senior Fullstack Engineer https://jobs.gem.com/cloudx/am9icG9zdDogum5THF3fORqb1eEupFQx

- Senior Infrastructure Engineer https://jobs.gem.com/cloudx/am9icG9zdDo4vl4A1sEcc7sDQf8ZYiqR

- Senior Android SDK Engineer https://jobs.gem.com/cloudx/am9icG9zdDqPAWu1cxr3PmEuuTIdliI6

- Senior iOS SDK Engineer https://jobs.gem.com/cloudx/am9icG9zdDpOy3Qmt1fLsOu4gKwtwWTz

Our philosophy is to keep the team small, well-paid, and productive. We deploy every day and our monorepo CI suite takes about a minute to pass.

The best way to apply is directly through those jobs pages. I got so much direct email spam the last time I posted here, I'm afraid I have to ask you not to contact me directly about this role. If you're a real HN reader you're always welcome to contact me with any questions or concerns, but please do not just apply by sending me an email.

Any other hiring managers seeing an incredible amount of fake applicants?

if you have open roles for junior dev or for internship


Apparently I can’t attach a cover letter, but I think I might be a better fit than might be obvious from my résumé. I do tend to "think like a product owner" (to quote the job desc) and love learning new tech on the job; I have been a React fan since 2014; and I know a dozen languages, so picking up Golang sounds fun. I am a design-thinking engineer who can also write: https://alanhogan.com/blog

no way to add a text or cover letter to mention HN. I applied while adding my portfolio https://www.krissemmy.com/projects

this sounds awesome! just put in my application, i promise i am real: https://tanner-vanessen.com/

no impact on your application (will review shortly) but your site is down for me

its back up, thank you. I ran out of the "free" credits had to go to paid as i made it more advanced. should have just self hosted in cloud run but...

you can set up an automated inbox to filter out some of the fake applicants

One of the most incredible feats of strength and daring I've ever witnessed. The only thing at all comparable was watching Baumgartner freefall back to earth from the edge of space. Unbelievable!



Yeah that was a great moment when that happened! I remember watching that, and then a couple weeks (?) later were the Snowden docs? That was quite a year, iirc.


Excellent bait, really top notch stuff — no notes.


> But how do we actively incentivize that?

Is immediately and completely solving the problem not a good enough incentive? If you go outside and interact, you will be much less lonely.

There is no barrier! You don't need to overthink this. Walkable cities third spaces etc., all great — but literally just go out and interact with people you can do it today many people do it to great success!


You're completely missing the point. The problem is people aren't collectively incentivized to do so. Individually someone can decide "oh wow, I'm lonely, I should get out more", but collectively there's nothing incentivizing everyone to do it, or even notice it's an issue. If there were, we wouldn't be in this situation.

---

"How do we solve the obesity problem?" "Well people should just work out."

Obviously, that would solve it, but they're distinctly not doing that, which is why we're talking about a broader solution to actually get people to work out.


> The problem is people aren't collectively incentivized to do so.

Yes, we are — please believe me that a LOT of people go out into the world and interact with each other. Doing so is extremely heavily incentivized by all of the wonderful and beautiful things that happen in the world all the time, both quotidian and sublime.

There is critical mass!


So then I guess it seems like you're rejecting the premise then that there's a loneliness epidemic?

I get what you're saying -- I leave my house more than most. But I think it's pretty clear we're trending away from that being the default.
