myrloc··on Show HN: Rebrain.gg – Doom learn, don't doom scroll
Too many forms
myrloc··on Launch HN: Trigger.dev (YC W23) – Open-source platform to build reliable AI apps
I used for a side project really liked. Dev UX was great when compared to UX of SQS. UI is very nice.
myrloc··on Fluoxetine promotes metabolic defenses to protect from sepsis-induced lethality
Great ideas, I will ask about these in the follow-up with infection disease.
myrloc··on Fluoxetine promotes metabolic defenses to protect from sepsis-induced lethality
I was just put on 6 weeks of antibiotics (ampicillin and ceftriaxone) for sepsis.

I thought I was coming down with an annual bug (so did the docs). 3 days after going into an urgent care where I was told I was negative for flu and covid, I went to the ER, where they drew blood. All 4 blood cultures returned positive for enterococcus faecalis.

The bacteria is very common in the intestines, but it's not clear (and probably never will be) how it made it into my bloodstream. Their best guess is inflammation in my gut allowing it to "leak" into the blood. This is after CT and ultrasounds of the abdomen.

29 years of no sepsis then.. random sepsis diagnosis!

myrloc··on Supreme Court upholds TikTok ban, but Trump might offer lifeline
Are Weibo and Xiaohongshu used widely outside of China? Given the names alone I'd imagine their adoption is fairly limited to China.
myrloc··on OpenAI O3 breakthrough high score on ARC-AGI-PUB
What is the cost of "general intelligence"? What is the price?
myrloc··on How I used linear algebra to build an interactive diagramming editor
Schemio looks cool. I've been building a lot of flow diagrams using Claude, which outputs to Mermaidjs (and renders it in the browser). I would love to do something similar with Schemio given the improved zooming in/out from flow to sequence, etc features.
myrloc··on Gene therapy restores hearing to children with inherited deafness
Does asking the HN community not fall into the category of “finding out”?
myrloc··on Gene therapy restores hearing to children with inherited deafness
How can I get involved in this work as a software engineer?
myrloc··on Yes, you can play Duck Hunt without a television (but I can't)
Anyone have ideas on why there aren’t more of these point and shoot at home games? I loved the ones I played as a kid. It always felt like something relegated to arcades
myrloc··on Adam Curtis on the dangers of self-expression (2017)
Great read. Thanks for sharing. I am not familiar with Adam Curtis' work but will be looking for more!
myrloc··on Using ClickHouse to scale an events engine
Sounds like you need to use a ReplacingMergeTree + final keyword.
myrloc··on Show HN: We built PriceLevel to find out what companies pay for SaaS
Useful info. Might want to make the ordered quantity and contract length ranges though, re: fuzzing anything that might identify the client
myrloc··on I’ll never be an astronaut
> The surgeon told me I was too young to have a bioprosthetic valve – from a pig or a cow – as these don’t last like metal ones do, and other surgical options, even though they wouldn’t need warfarin for ever were not recommended for me, as a relatively young patient.

I had my pulmonary valve replaced when I was 13 with a porcine (pig) valve. True, they don’t last forever, but they can last a good two decades before you need to exchange one out. My cardiologist, as far as I know, plans to use another one for my next surgery.

myrloc··on Show HN: A note-taking app for those who dump all notes on a single txt file
I like this idea. I am this kind of note taker, where I enjoy the linear chronological nature of an append-only note, specifically for my "daily notes" in various topics. To me, it represents a journal-style approach that is helpful for team meetings or learning about a topic on a regular basis, or just journaling.

Some ideas on what this could provide over current solutions like Google Docs or Notion: * My preference is to append to the top of my note. I can do this in your note but it would be cool if there was an out of the box UX improvement for appending to the top vs to the bottom * It would be nice if there was a tree-like structure to nested notes. Simple markdown-style headings would suffice, where I can fold headings and bullets, and see the tree structure in the right side panel

myrloc··on Shoshikantetsu
This makes me wonder, does Japanese have an equivalent to the Chinese concept of a chengyu?
myrloc··on DBeaver, OSS DB tool, has text-to-SQL support
Great to see open source projects incorporating LLM AI features
myrloc··on Loved Before – Recycled soft toy store
Is this level of attachment good for mental health?
myrloc··on Show HN: Phidata – Building Blocks for Data Engineering
I've had the pleasure of working with Ashpreet. Highly recommend Phidata for unifying local and remote data workflows. Congrats on the HN launch!
myrloc··on Stable Diffusion 2.0
I really want to try this. Please add mobile iOS support!
myrloc··on Stable Diffusion 2.0
“Adoption” is a generous term to use for a description of Github stars (referring to the first graph). There’s no denying stable diffusion has been gaining popularity, but I think it’s hard to say it’s really being adopted at the same rate it’s getting starred on Github.
myrloc··on Ask HN: Any certification that is worth it? Legitimately helped your career?
I acquired several AWS certs early in my career. The understanding of AWS I developed through studying has helped me significantly in developing products at startups. I would highly recommend getting the networking specialization; it’s the hardest but perhaps the most important when it comes to understanding one of the most complex aspects of AWS.
myrloc··on Facts every web dev should know before they burn out and turn to painting
> If you are experienced and notice that things at your company are broken, you either try to advocate for fixing things or just leave out of desparation.

If you’re “experienced” then you just fix these issues (especially the ones you mentioned)

myrloc··on Valve Steam Deck
Would’ve been an instant win for me if I could do a Switch-style hookup to the TV. Without that, it’s just another limited mobile gaming console.
myrloc··on Context switching costs more than we give it credit for
Not all music is made the same. The quote mentions lyrics — indeed lyrical music can be distracting. However, I think, as in exercise, music can boost productivity if it aligns well with the activity, e.g. provides enough space to think in coding while enhancing mood, pace of thought, and focus.
myrloc··on The Serverless Revolution Has Stalled
I’d be interested in seeing more of your results, no matter how raw they are.
