holy fuck do i not want to do that

$I'm recruiting for a Senior ML Engineer, Perception role at COMPANY. They build autonomous laser weapon systems for counter-UAS, and this role owns the full perception stack: detection, tracking, classification, and multi-sensor fusion, all deployed on embedded compute at the edge. Wasn't sure this is the right fit given your background is more on the software/product side, but wanted to flag it in case perception work is something you're looking to move into. Their flagship platform, PRODUCT OF DEATH, is an AI-guided laser system built for counter-UAS at a fraction of the cost of traditional air defense. They just closed a $40M Series A co-led by A BUNCH OF FUCKED UP DUDES, and they field test weekly on their own 400-acre private range. In-office 5 days/week in San Francisco, with weekly field tests on their own 400-acre range First ML hire on a team of 17, growing to 50 by EOY, partnering directly with the CTO Must be U.S. Citizen They're looking for someone who's shipped perception on real hardware against real targets, not just benchmarks. If this sounds interesting, just reply and I can share your info with the team.$

So many fun moments in the children of time series that make me think about ai

“You’d think we think,” he either answers or gives back a mangled echo. “But we have thought about the subject and come to the considered conclusion that we do not think. And all that passes between us and within us is just mechanical complexity.”
“We have read the finest behavioural studies of the age, and do not find sentience within the animal kingdom, save potentially in that species which engineered us,” Gothi agrees.
“You’re telling me that you’re not sentient,” Kern says. “You’re quoting references.”
“An adequate summation,” Gethli agrees. “Now, moving the spotlight onto you.”
“Me now, is it?”

@masnick.com as you do your @standard.site stuff could you remove the odd number tag?

there is an admin ui where i can see claims

Andrew Lisowski 💻 @hipstersmoothie.com · 30/07/2026

you can just go there and try to claim a listing and see what the flow is like there is a fast path too based on handle. - record lists a "handle" ex: fiveguys.com - if they log in with that we show them a banner that they can claim after that it just deletes your record and make theirs

I feel like its a real possibility with standard site. the tensions of "go to my platform" is already there. I think the logical next step is moving data out of the public domain

I think offprint might have the best ux here but it’s still pretty subtle

Did a large portion of these from my phone This + pr preview deploys + branched pr db = a lot of fun In a project with well defined patterns and a bit of strictness you can do a whole lot!

1 missing index cost me about $40 last month ☠️

1. Stopped the bleeding on prod — created the missing index concurrently (2.6s, non-blocking):
CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY documents_canonical_url_idx
ON documents (canonical_url) WHERE deleted = false;
Verified the plan flipped from a full parallel seq scan to an index scan: 439 ms → 0.081 ms, buffers 82,696 → 4. Since this query was ~93% of all DB time, Neon CPU should drop off a cliff.

A unique feature if my window splitter is its ability to animate collapse Layout is driven by CSS grid and a state machine A user reported that since we were using react state it was causing a choppy animation. Now the animation applies the layout directly to the DOM while animating for speed
