For many years there's been a linux router and a DMZ between VDSL router and the internal network here. Nowadays that's even more useful - LLM's are confined to the DMZ, running diskless systems on user accounts (without sudo). Not perfect, working reasonably well so far (and I have no bitcoin to lose).

Technical founder in the VR/AR space here. Not in a rush so have discounted YC in the past, still may be worth a short chat. Use the "Apply" link on the RFS page?

Great song (albeit sort-of not written by them, fits the band perfectly though). Lucky enough to see NMA live a couple of times pre-lockdown, no option but to settle for the live stream for the 40th anniversary.

Not so black and white, but I still thing the Sex Pistols GSTQ is a great song (also Anti-Nowhere Leagues 's "So F*king What!", much more FTW). Never a fan of the Diana bandwagon either.

Yet, likewise to me the Queen always earned the respect shown her. Colouring the establishment by the actions of some is just too black and white thinking for me.

How do they charge per advert? If I was paying someone hundreds - or thousands - of dollars, I'd certainly expect some degree of personal service.

Body Rocket: Brighton, UK. Multiple positions, remote mostly ok depending on the position but you'll need to work onsite at times.

We're a start-up focused on aerodynamics, and specifically (for now) on cycling. About to move from research to production, what we do is measure drag force on the cyclist in real time via embedded loadcells/aero sensors and far too many on-bike ARM processors (some running linux, some bare-metal).

Positions available are embedded engineer (nrf5x, C, lightweight DSP, linux too), data analyst/database leader and mechanical engineer (solidworks). As a small company (getting on for 10 full-time staff), we're less formal than most. If any of the positions sound interesting, happy to discuss informally.

Pretty much my first on-site service job: the company I was working for made motion-control systems for animation, controlled by a PDP-11. The customer was an animation studio, so dead in the water without the system working. Problem was it wasn't booting, so I had to go on site, open the side of the cabinet and reposition the goose-neck lamp used as the light source for the paper-tape reader. Problem solved, happy customer.

Brand-new they were pretty white (and gray)

The LSI-11 and 11/23 jumped to 173000 at startup, so (re)booting them was just hit halt on the front panel and then enter '173000G' in ODT (the built-in octal debugger). If necessary, it would only take a minute or two to type in a bootstrap somewhere in RAM and execute (my boss at the time could do that faster across the toggle keys on the front panel of his larger PDP-11 than I could type it in).

I coded several bootstraps for PDP-11/23's, managed to get 4 different devices (DX,DY 8" disks, MX 5.25" and MZ 3.5" disks) complete with CLI into 256 words (2x256 byte OTP ROMs). Careful coding time, since one had to send the listing off to someone who could burn the ROMs and post them back.

Over 6 years, 2x the performance in single-core and 4x (for 2.5x the cores, depending how you count) seems surprisingly low compared to stuff I've read (not experienced yet) with the M1.
