New ask Hacker News story: Getting back into photography, ditching the phone camera in 2026?

Getting back into photography, ditching the phone camera in 2026? 3 by eigenhombre | 4 comments on Hacker News. I've been looking through twenty-five-odd years of my own photos. The collection includes scanned 35mm and medium format images; digital pictures from a few Canon Powershot generations and a 20D SLR; and about five iPhones. I've noticed that the non-cell-phone pictures tended to be better, and that in general I seemed to have quite a bit more fun with photos taken with, well, "real" cameras. Probably the best ones were taken with the 20D, which for its time was a really nice camera, for which I was able to bring over some lenses from my film days. I wouldn't rule out more film photography but I think of that as a somewhat separate track. I'd like to get a digital camera that captures a bit more of what I enjoyed about film photography - that high image density, looking through a physical viewfinder, not necessarily curating images in real time... ...

New ask Hacker News story: Recommended GPU Repairshop in Europe (Germany)

Recommended GPU Repairshop in Europe (Germany) 2 by DogRunner | 0 comments on Hacker News. I got a RTX 3080 20 GB from China, which probably has memory issues at higher temperatures. Repasting/repadding didn't resolve the issue. I don't want to reball the memory modules and so I am looking for a repair shop, which is located in the EU (for tax and shipping cost reasons). It's really tough to find one. Krisfix.de was the only known good repair shop, but they decline to work on 3000 series since 2026.

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: Is GitHub's #1 repo fake? build-your-own-x 491K stars

Ask HN: Is GitHub's #1 repo fake? build-your-own-x 491K stars 2 by throwawaysoso | 1 comments on Hacker News. GitHub's #1 most starred repo is build-your-own-x [1] with 491K stars. That's twice the starts of React or Linux or Python. Yet, Yet I almost never hear about it on HN or anywhere else. Even the few HN posts about it are very suspicious. A post with 800 points usually has over 400 comments that go very deep, but now look at the build-your-own-x's hn submission [2]. It has 867 points, 64 comments, barely a discussion. Btw, it's S2022 Backed by YC. [1] https://ift.tt/PcCxTMp [2] https://ift.tt/8fF7e2w

New ask Hacker News story: I Built a 22k-Line App with Zero Coding Experience. Or, how to control agents

I Built a 22k-Line App with Zero Coding Experience. Or, how to control agents 2 by JasonGravy | 0 comments on Hacker News. There’s a lot of hype (and hate!) right now around "Vibe Coding". And rightly so. The idea that you can build out software entirely by kicking back and commanding AI agents to do the typing for you is an incredibly exciting concept, but most people trying this are hitting a brutal reality after just a few days: AI Code Rot. First it works. Then it fails. And you have no idea how to fix it. I decided to build an app: a complex dinner scheduling engine. It imports recipe URLs and outputs schedules, shopping lists, and a host of tips for feeding big groups that I’ve developed after 15 years of running a weekend supper club. Central to the project was importing URLs and breaking down (often badly written) steps into machine-understandable units which could be timed and rebuilt into slick schedules. I was told more than once that this would be ‘impossible’....

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: What makes a good Product Manager

Ask HN: What makes a good Product Manager 7 by chairhairair | 2 comments on Hacker News. The tech PM role is… difficult to define, but we’ve all worked with good PMs and bad PMs - it’s usually quite quick to tell where someone falls on the spectrum once you’ve worked with them for a few weeks. But, I find it difficult to describe the difference.

New ask Hacker News story: Claude UI Feature Request

Claude UI Feature Request 2 by simon_acca | 0 comments on Hacker News. Putting this here in the hope that someone at Anthropic reads it. Searching through old conversations is difficult with the current app and web interface. Could you have the model provide a bunch of tags relevant to the conversation like “cooking” or “purchase advice” or “music”, so that we are able to browse conversations by topic? Thanks!
