My clients keep ghosting invoices and I'm so fucking done 2 by jesusfchristn | 5 comments on Hacker News. every damn month it’s the same fucking story project done client happy invoice sent then NOTHING???? i wait a week i send the "hey just checking in email" i feel like an idiot asking for money i’ve already earned two weeks later i’m refreshing stripe like a fool i am sick and tired of having to beg for my money so i thought of creating a small ai that links to stripe/paypal figures out who is likely to be late on a payment and emails them automatically it starts off polite gets firmer with time stops me from having to chase payments and even shows how much money $$ it recovered so i can stop guessing who’s ghosting. not selling anything. not built yet. just trying to see if this pain’s real enough that people (like you) would drop around $49/mo for it. be real would you actually pay for this, or nah? i just need to know if this is a real pain or if i’m over it.

Ask HN: Gradations 2 by silexia | 0 comments on Hacker News. A serious problem with public schools, and to a lesser extent private schools, is that they are built around the lowest common denominator. The whole goal is to get kids who can just barely pass over a minimum bar to graduate. There are no tiers above that. There is no differentiation for those who really want to excel. Wouldn't it be great if there were some sort of rating system 0 - 100 after kids finish high school. Maybe 20 would be someone who just met the minimum qualifications for graduation, while someone at 99 would be a math olympiad winner type of person. Maybe 50 would represent a college graduate?

Ask HN: Build Your Own LLM? 4 by retube | 1 comments on Hacker News. The best way to really understand how something works is to build it yourself. So I am wondering if there are any good tutorials on building your own LLM from scratch. I.e. implementing tokenisation, embeddings, attention and so. I am not suggesting one could replicate chatGPT, but more a toy model based on a much smaller corpus and training data.

Dollar General's 19,000 Stores Could Solve Rural America's Internet Problem 6 by maysjack | 1 comments on Hacker News. White paper exploring rural edge compute via retail infrastructure. Feedback welcome # The DG Edge Fabric: A Distributed Rural Compute Network for the Next Decade ## 1. Executive Summary The DG Edge Fabric proposes transforming selected Dollar General (DG) retail locations into secure, distributed edge computing nodes. By leveraging existing real estate and infrastructure, this model enables a scalable, low-latency compute network spanning rural and underserved regions across the United States. Each node integrates a sealed micro-data-center rack within a secure cage, delivering localized processing power for IoT, AI inference, and CDN caching. This approach reduces bandwidth dependency, minimizes latency, and opens new revenue opportunities for DG and partners. *Visual:* U.S. map overlaying DG store density and proposed Gold Site distribution. --- ## 2.

Ask HN: Does anyone want to take on the payment processing networks with me? 2 by ziyadparekh | 1 comments on Hacker News. Going out on a limb here I’ve been working on a prototype payment network that allows people to send and receive payments at a fraction of the cost to traditional rails. I started working on this when building out the previous fintech I started, Safepay (YC S20) and realized how much value card networks extract from fintechs on both sides, and by extension the businesses that rely on them and thought that there has to be a better way. I think I’ve found what this could be and the only thing holding me back is finding the right person to take this on with. So what is it? (Links added below) The idea is to allow people to make and receive payments through simple aliases. Send money from your Chime account to your friend on Coinbase or pay a merchant using Stripe with your Revolut account. Scan a QR code on a receipt with your banking app after dinner and settle th...

Ask HN: Why aren't wet labs more automated? 3 by andrewrn | 1 comments on Hacker News. I am curious if anyone who has experience in wet labs can tell me why they're not more automated like a warehouse. There are robotic liquid handlers, but samples are still usually manually moved from instrument to instrument. I know there is probably a lot of complexity I am unaware of, but I am still curious folks' thoughts.
