The Desktop GUI was perfected with NeXTStep in 1990. Though some might say Smalltalk in 1984 (modulo some nice artwork and colours).

We could even have unified desktop.mobile codebases, with different GUI layouts. 280 North's objective-J/Cappuccino proved this.

IDK what we're even doing anymore.

Is anyone else getting a lot of scam approaches from their HN hiring posts?

I'm getting a lot of scam/North Korean approaches to mule/front for them.

SEEKING CONTRACT WORK | Forward Deployed Data scientist | Canada/Remote Worldwide

I use AI to build DS pipelines. 15+ years shipping ML inside messy, regulated environments - automotive, mineral rights, health care, maritime security, logistics. I go on-site (or virtually), dig up the data nobody mapped, figure out what the right question is, then build and deploy. Part Archeologist, part anthropologist, and part data scientist.

What I've done:

   - Built a corrosion detection system classifying  corrosion (API 571), and pitting depths from imagery and structured light.
   - Deployed an AI validation pipeline for BIM/CAD against 400-page ESG standards, cutting review from days to minutes.
   - Built and integrated a part-failure prediction system into a German automaker's production workflow, avoiding lemon law recalls ($20M+ exposure)
   - Oil & gas well and lease production forecasting. 
   - Stood up real-time emissions detection on industrial smokestacks, preventing $75K-per-incident fines
   - Revenue optimization and persona identification for debt collections (15-20% net revenue lift)
   - Built an LLM-based legal document extraction system (land runsheets), collapsing 3-day DD cycles to 30 minutes.
   - Built vessel piracy risk engine that informed naval escort deployment, contributing to fewer hijackings.
Things I won't work on:

   - Gambling.
   - Ads/Surveillance.
   - Payday loans/rent-to-own.
Email me (in bio) with a short description of your problem. I'll reply promptly.

^^^ this guy fucks.

You’re right. So Russ was an amalgamation of sacca, cuban, and probably a few more.

I thought Chris Sacca was the inspiration for Russ Hanneman.

The beard, the shirts, the sexual assault allegations. The three nannies suing him - one for no good reason!

This reminds me of William Gibson's "Burning Chrome", where the head of a syndicate is a Russian AI (Chrome) running things behind a smuggling front. Gibson basically predicted the AI CEO forty years early!

A warning: Don't burn Chrome.

I think it was a Neal Stephenson quote from cryptobimicon.

It certainly increases shareholder value.
