New top story on Hacker News: Ask HN: Going from CTO to Developer?
Ask HN: Going from CTO to Developer?
10 by thatguyagain | 6 comments on Hacker News.
Let's say you work as a CTO at a failing startup, and you are tired of all the responsibilities, management, etc, and you just want to go back to being a productive developer and write code again. Will this be perceived as a stupid career move or will people understand? Is it a bad move? Asking for a friend.

New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: I built an interactive plotter art exhibit for SIGGRAPH
Show HN: I built an interactive plotter art exhibit for SIGGRAPH
12 by cosiiine | 0 comments on Hacker News.
I'm enthralled with using pen plotters to make generative art. Last August at SIGGRAPH, I built an interactive experience for others to see how code can be used to make visual art. The linked blog post is my trials and tribulations of linking a MIDI controller to one of these algorithms and sending its output to a plotter, so that people may witness the end-to-end experience.

New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: Interactive Smartlog VSCode Extension – An Interactive Git GUI
Show HN: Interactive Smartlog VSCode Extension – An Interactive Git GUI
15 by tnesbitt210 | 1 comments on Hacker News.
Interactive Smartlog is a graphical VSCode extension that presents a simplified view of the Git log, directly highlighting the branches and commits that are most relevant to your current work. And it's not just a visual tool — it's fully interactive, allowing you to add/switch/remove branches, stage/unstage files, and manage commits directly from the GUI. This tool draws inspiration from Meta's Interactive Smartlog built for the Sapling source control system, and I've adapted it to work with Git. Transitioning the functionality from Sapling to Git wasn't just about a one-to-one feature transfer; it involved changing how data is queried & presented, as well as introducing UI interactions for several Git concepts (like branches, staging/unstaging changes, etc) which are not present in the Sapling source control system. Originally a personal project to enhance my own workflow, I've published the extension on the VSCode marketplace for anyone who would like to use it. I'm keen to hear your feedback and suggestions, as community input is invaluable in shaping its future updates.

New top story on Hacker News: Who uses Google TPUs for inference in production?
Who uses Google TPUs for inference in production?
20 by arthurdelerue | 3 comments on Hacker News.
I am really puzzled by TPUs. I've been reading everywhere that TPUs are powerful and a great alternative to NVIDIA. I have been playing with TPUs for a couple of months now, and to be honest I don't understand how can people use them in production for inference: - almost no resources online showing how to run modern generative models like Mistral, Yi 34B, etc. on TPUs - poor compatibility between JAX and Pytorch - very hard to understand the memory consumption of the TPU chips (no nvidia-smi equivalent) - rotating IP addresses on TPU VMs - almost impossible to get my hands on a TPU v5 Is it only me? Or did I miss something? I totally understand that TPUs can be useful for training though.

Show HN: My first software project – a website to set goals and track progress

Two years ago, I started building this site that allows people to document their learning and progress in real time. The idea is: as you learn new things, you document your progress piece by piece, creating a collection of failures, breakthroughs, and knowledge. Along the way, your friends can cheer you on, and the community can give you tips and feedback. Over time, we'll create a public collection on how different problems were solved. With each progress, the site prompts you to reflect on questions like, "If you could go back in time, what do you wish you had known?" This was my first web dev project, and everything was self-taught. It's been both a great passion and a significant learning experience! All feedback is welcome, big or small. I hope you enjoy it and find it useful. Stack: Angular, Python/Postgres, AWS, PWA service workers for notifications.
