Proxima Fusion | Senior Software Engineer (Dev Platform) | Munich, Germany | ONSITE | Full-time

We're building the world's first commercial stellarator fusion power plant. First spin-out from the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics, based on Wendelstein 7-X (the largest stellarator ever built), €650M+ raised, teams in Munich, Zurich and Oxford.

Finding a good stellarator design means searching an enormous high-dimensional space, and every candidate design needs heavy plasma physics simulation. That's the compute problem this role owns: cloud + HPC clusters, K8s, Ray, Dask, and the platform work around it (CI/CD, IaC, observability).

You'd sit directly next to the physicists and AI researchers burning through that compute, so you see exactly what your infrastructure unlocks. Python and Linux.

If you've wanted to point your platform engineering skills at something that actually matters, clean, abundant energy, this is about as direct a shot as it gets, and it's happening in Europe.

Interview process: recruiter call, meet the team lead, technical panel, meet the CEO.

What is the data source feeding into this one? Just claude randomly scraping the internet?

Huge fan of borg + vorta for backups and time Maschine like „Jump back in time“. Wrote about it years ago: https://simon-frey.com/blog/borgvorta-is-finally-a-usable-ba...

One is with the team lead, the other with different team members.

Also have my website running on a Hetzner k8s cluster https://simon-frey.com/blog/kubernetes-on-hetzner-cloud/

Years ago I build a little tool to run shamir secret sharing in the browser (can be used full offline, just download the page)

https://simon-frey.com/s4/

We have one in Munich as well. Quite nice walk along the river

https://www.deutsches-museum.de/museumsinsel/programm/progra...

It is old, hence Pluto is still part of it

Did not fine one as well. Did vibecode an tiny single html page based tool: https://simon-frey.com/amandacolor

Is there an example tool in the blogpost? Seems like would make sense

edit: Did vibecode one https://simon-frey.com/amandacolor

Ah I see. Yeah did not experience issues here in the EU.

Let's see if it also survives HN hug-of-death :D

Would be great if it can be tried out without signup. Just put a watermark over it or so, but having full blown signup on first try is kinda a downer.

Would be interested in this

I don't get this. Isn't this the same as saying "I taught my 5 year old to calculate integrals, by typing them into Wolfram Alpha"...so the actual relevant cognitive task (integrals in my example, "seeing" in yours) is outsources to an external API.

Why do I need gpt-oss-120B at all in this scenario? Couldn't I just directly call e.g. gemini-3-pro api from the python script?

https://simon-frey.com/ A while back I decided to go for plain text :)

I saw this somewhen here on hackernews, but adapted it, so that it is an actually image, so the image/meme can be downloaded and hotlinked to.

This is basically what you learn in the huggingface smolagents course (months ago)...

They call it CodeAct

Build a little screen recording tool which apart from combined stream, also gives you the full resolution input streams (camera/screen recording)

Works only on chromium based browser as it directly writes into files on disk to not loose data. Sry

Shoutout to checkvist.com use them for years. Exactly enough bells and whistles.

It fits my brain of an endless deep list.

Have no affiliate with them apart from paying them each and every year.

"easiest/low tech" would be some sort of unix file-locking and inode. Only works if you are on the same host machine though...AAAND sounds like it would be quite hacky.

Which is a good thing :) I am all in for asking questions. If someone can't answer them, it usually means they have not thought about it and are either ignorant or will learn something themselves :D

(like me for your question, as I never tried TabSub with internet disconnected. Was delighted to see it works nevertheless)

Will check this tomorrow. If you come to it in the meantime, feel free to open a PR :) Thx

Works for offline apps as well :) (you would need to download the tabsub JS ofc and not use it from my server)

It means, that you don't need an internet connection for this to work :) (so it is no rabbitmq or so which runs on a server and the browser is just the client)

You can try on the demopage when you

1. play the songs each (for them to buffer a little audio snippet)

2. open the page in a second tab

3. Disconnect from the internt

Still works :D

Oh, did not know about it :D Thank you! Added a link to this to the TabSub landingpage

Thank you :) Simple because I don't know any better :'D

I am looking to build a list of German AI products. Because most companies I find are mostly consultancies.

Please help me create this list by adding your company or other AI product companies you know about.

Thank you so much!
