czbond··on SedonaDB: A new geospatial DataFrame library written in Rust
Question: Does SedonaDB support custom / alternative coordinate systems?

For example, if i wanted to define a 4d region called (fish, towel, mouse, alien) and there were floats for each of fish/towel/mouse/alien?

czbond··on Oh no, not again a meditation on NPM supply chain attacks
I have come to using a multi stage Docker build. One to install dependencies and build whatever it is. I then might have a second clean docker image where the dependencies are copied to and run.

This helps with localized risk, and some production risk - but not all of it.

NPM packages have become a huge nuisance security wise.

czbond··on Show HN: AI Code Detector – detect AI-generated code with 95% accuracy
With "code" or "not-code" did you make a cheeky reference to "hotdog" "not hotdog"?
czbond··on Will AI be the basis of many future industrial fortunes, or a net loser?
> For a large chunk of my life, I would start a personal project, get stuck on some annoying detail ...

I am the same way. I did Computer Science because it was a combination of philosophy and meta thinking. Then when I got out, it was mainly just low level errors, dependencies, and language nuance.

czbond··on Homeowners insurance is pricing people out in disaster-prone cities
I don't disagree with you on new builds and new purchases. But homeowners living in some of these areas for 10...30 years suddenly becoming un-insurable when the environment changed around them is a thorny issue.
czbond··on Show HN: Keeps – Mail a postcard that plays your voice
> My intent was not to replace that so much as offer another way to make a physical note feel personal,

Your approach is great; I can see a good need for this, and it is a unique offering which amends rather than replaces postcards in my view.

I could even see you having real post cards that have a QR code to the voice version that you sell in shops.

czbond··on Show HN: Companies use AI to take your calls. I built AI to make them for you
Great idea, and also as a creator myself, I enjoyed reading about the challenges that came up
czbond··on Windsurf employee #2: I was given a payout of only 1% what my shares where worth
I believe Tan's words were mis-represented. I believe he is saying that it cost Prim $20M and he then wrote that post. I don't think he is insinuating anything else.
czbond··on Fei-Fei Li: Spatial intelligence is the next frontier in AI [video]
Of course.... doesn't mean she was early in forming that viewpoint. Just stating the near future obvious
czbond··on Fei-Fei Li: Spatial intelligence is the next frontier in AI [video]
Thanks for joining the obvious Fei-Fei about 5 years late. Spatial web standards approved by IEEE that have been in the works for years.

czbond··on Honda conducts successful launch and landing of experimental reusable rocket
@roshdodd - Is there a modern reference/book that covers the design of such systems?

czbond··on LLM Agents Are Simply Graph – Tutorial for Dummies
Thank you - really interesting looking read, thanks for crafting the deep explanation, with links to actual internal code examples. Also, thanks for not putting it behind the Medium paywall
czbond··on EA Open Sources Command and Conquer: Red Alert, along with other games
What is a modern equivalent of this genre of game? I loved C&C
czbond··on Cot: The Rust web framework for lazy developers
To be fair, that was added on Jan 20. A whole lot could have changed in a month ;) https://github.com/cot-rs/cot/commit/19b1d897e0af20616a4afa4...
czbond··on Show HN: Immersive Gaussian Splat experience of Sutro Tower, San Francisco
Thank you for posting this - really cool project. Also, thank you for sharing your splat experience and methodology.
czbond··on Ask HN: Tired of startups – want a normal job. Help
My suggestion is this: Founders often underwhelm on paper, but knock it out of the park when in person. Network in your city with leadership of companies at any stage.

Example: Last month, I was just messing around with an idea, told my vision for it in 5 years to someone that works at a company that should do $400M revenue this year, $800M in 2 years. He had never met his CEO.... his CEO heard my thoughts and offered to FLY cross country out to meet me... someone who doesn't even work there.

czbond··on TinyTroupe, a new LLM-powered multiagent persona simulation Python library
This is really cool. I can see quite a number of potential applications.
czbond··on Care Doesn't Scale
I agree with your central point, but in my estimation, the entire world minus a very small percentage point only work on or care about small, short term solutions to problems.

And that is fine. Engineers are not social & feelers with high individual level empathy scores. So let them/us build large scaleable solutions with the individual 1-to-1 personal interaction removed.

czbond··on Care Doesn't Scale
Yes - to me the OP means solving issues ahead of time.... create the vaccine 1x or treat the virus causing the issue millions of times.

I have spent enough of this year injured due to my own adventure sport aggressive mis steps. I was MUCH less productive during this period than before or now due to injury.

Had I not needed to deal with that, is the most productive self and that has a exponential effect society.

czbond··on Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (October 2024)
Interesting project, thanks for sharing. Your link above has an extra "w".
czbond··on Solar power from space? it might happen in a couple of years
Good counter points, thanks for sharing those.
czbond··on The secret lives of snowblowers
I use a corded snowblower and lawnmower. While not the best user experience over batteries, I know they always work and require little maintenance.
czbond··on Transformers for Ruby
Thanks for creating this - it looks interesting. Contributions like this are really needed in the Ruby community
czbond··on Show HN: Attaching to a virtual GPU over TCP
I am not in this "space", but I second the "this is cool to see", more stuff like this needed on HN.
czbond··on Jeremy Rowley resigns from DigiCert due to mass-revocation incident
Last I looked, a CISO's tenure was only 3-5 years (I'm being generous) because the stress is incredible and you end up being responsible to every other CxO in the company.

You have much power, but little as well because every department claims security is the reason their projects are delayed - or if they move quickly and there is an issue, they point back at CISO.

czbond··on Jeremy Rowley resigns from DigiCert due to mass-revocation incident
Enough companies are looking for their CISO to be an attorney, or to also be an attorney, because you spend a lot of your time threading through laws, contracts, policies, company risks, and parter risks, etc.

Much of it at that level is NOT architecture and software discussions. You wouldn't think the job would be similar to lead counsel, but unfortunately a majority of a certain company's risk now a days is in that area.

czbond··on CrowdStrike Timeline Mystery
I also believe this data is suggesting there was a phased roll out that was not noticed.
czbond··on Multisatellite data depicts a record-breaking methane leak from a well blowout
Interesting - thanks for the CO2 concentration link. I am curious what prior to 2019 looked like (eg: if it was a comparable size, yet dipped in 2019-2021) and is back to normal.
