Seeking a role at a startup with ~1 year of experience. I was part of my university's programming team and my team won the ICPC Southeast regionals Div2 contest. I interned at Google for the Network Doctor team and have done freelance work for a YC-backed startup.
Looks like enemy movements are deterministic, wonder how feasible it is to script this. Was able to increase my score by 4 points trying alternate lines near the end
Looking for founding engineer roles at a startup. I have experience with YC-backed startups, interned at Google, and I'm comfortable across the stack from applications to metal. I have a background in competitive programming and math and spend most of my free time reading technical topics and working on projects that interest me, which usually falls into systems engineering, distributed systems, or AI engineering. Recently been porting DOOM to my hobby OS and working on a personal cloud.
I've made a couple of friends from similar positions in that thread talking about projects and have been the occasional good samaritan reaching out to those whose resume / site is down or locked for some reason. It's not all bots, but it certainly is annoying. Actually, HN has had the highest signal to noise ratio I've seen so far for employment.

Skiplist operations are local for the most part, which makes it easier to write thread-safe code for than b-trees in practice. Anecdotally, they were a nice implementation problem for my Java class in uni. But I liked working with b-lists more.
Skip trees/graphs sound interesting, but I can't think of any use case for them off the top of my head.
OP is about a German learning class, so yes, there is a point. AI improving will not learn you a language faster than immersing in it until, I suppose, neural links become mainstream.
> The classroom should be about using AI better not ignoring it.
No, it shouldn’t. I’m not bearish on AI but it shouldn’t replace any part of a classroom where the objective is to learn and communicate in a new language (German). The typewriter argument is memorable and interesting - the article points out the lack of editing forces kids to slow down and think about their writing, as well as iterate through multiple drafts. It’s not a nostalgia thing, they’re not old enough to have ever used one before.
I could see an argument for adding on a new class for GenAI, agents, context engineering or what have you, but considering how behind current US curriculums already are and how quickly the AI field moves, I can only see this ending in wasted time and money: even an up to date class will be stale by the time it’s over. Kids will end up learning this anyway outside of the classroom, no use lecturing them on something they’ll already know.
Just getting into homebrewing / jailbreaking old handhelds and consoles, and I really do feel like I missed a golden age of hacking that I would have loved. That said, I don't know if the tenacity I had back then would be enough to endure the steeper learning curve. Still, I would have loved to see my own work running on my DS.
I don't have an issue with the style personally. I actually like being able to navigate the whole page without clicking through pages. Looks like the content is the same too? Although that's just a glance comparing random snippets.
