New ask Hacker News story: Tell HN: Helium is the best browser I ever used

Tell HN: Helium is the best browser I ever used 4 by prmph | 3 comments on Hacker News. Helium (https://ift.tt/81U96kt) is Chromium-based, with all the Google odiousness removed, emphasizing minimalism, privacy, zero telemetry, built-in uBlock Origin, and no sync or AI features. I am just a regular user that was looking for a Firefox alternative for a long time. I do not know why Helium does not get more attention. It's so fast all the time even with several hundred tabs, it never crashed, it is strongly privacy and safety protecting, I do not have one complaint about it. Here are some ways the others fall short: - Firefox and all its derivatives are frequently incredibly sluggish, even on the same machine at the same time other browsers based on Chromium and Webkit are fast. I really wanted to like them, but I just gave up finally. I can't even use Mullvad browser now. - Safari's interface and UX seems somewhat clunky to me. I tried Orion; it shows a lot of promise as m...

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: How to get my contact info off US political party's list

Ask HN: How to get my contact info off US political party's list 3 by kaycebasques | 1 comments on Hacker News. I donated to one of the main political parties in the USA a few years back. I must have left my email and phone number, or they found it. Big mistake. Now I get hundreds of emails and texts from random political candidates, none of whom I have ever said I explicitly support, or really have any context about whatsoever. So it seems like the political party has my email and number in some central list, and they distribute it to all of their candidates to use. Is that correct? Is there anything I can do to get my contact info off this terrible, terrible list?

New ask Hacker News story: Does anyone know since when we are close to building in space?

Does anyone know since when we are close to building in space? 3 by kingleopold | 1 comments on Hacker News. Spacex and all future datacenters plans, since when we have remotely close to any building and mainting tech for big project in space? does just sending satellites counts as datacenter level building and related? Cars still can't even fully drive themselves in the road that are designed specifically for them. but now they will be building datacenter in 3D space with insane complexity and power levels? With what tech? Makes no sense

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: What was your "oh shit" moment with GenAI?

Ask HN: What was your "oh shit" moment with GenAI? 9 by andrehacker | 6 comments on Hacker News. Most of us were amused when DALL-E and its peers went mainstream, and we were quick to point out the obvious flaws. Then ChatGPT hit the scene and again, many of us dismissed it as a parlor trick that would never amount to much. Using LLMs for coding initially was a only small step up from basic code completion, and a welcome farewell to Stack Overflow. I am curious: what was the specific moment that you went from those quaint, dismissive observations to a slightly panicked, "Uh Oh" realization of what these models can do?

New ask Hacker News story: Laid off. Broke. Depressed. & idk how to market my SaaS

Laid off. Broke. Depressed. & idk how to market my SaaS 7 by touseefbuilds | 13 comments on Hacker News. I live in a third-world country with a family who's dependent on me. I used to work as a Software Engineer specializing in MERN Stack. I was laid off a month ago, didn't have any saving cos I was already hand-to-mouth, supporting a family of 5 with funding my brother's University fee. I am really depressed and have done nearly everything I knew to market my SaaS products but nothing's working. Tried: 1. Submitting my product on SaaS directories + on LTD ones (got rejections & some didn't respond), 2. Built in Public (no response), 3. Got Permanently Banned from Reddit (cos I did self-promotion as I wasn't aware - my mistake, i accept), 4. Wrote Articles & submitted on GSC, almost a month has passed & still not indexed, 5. Cold outreach (0 response rate, did personalized outreach, researched about each person + their products & menti...
