New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: What should I know before hosting eprints?

Ask HN: What should I know before hosting eprints? 2 by logicallee | 0 comments on Hacker News. I'm thinking of putting a lightweight respository online where researchers can publish eprints they have the right to publish (the existing repositories have some gatekeeping or hoops to jump through), and people can download the papers without any registration etc. what should I know before I do this?

Ask HN: What are you building with Mojo lang? 2 by maxchisto | 0 comments on Hacker News. Looks like there is only one Show HN post in the last year about a project written in Mojo: https://ift.tt/feJyjiX I've been looking into porting OpenCL kernels and curious if anyone else is doing anything with Mojo

Ask HN: New Reddit also requiring login? 4 by 7402 | 1 comments on Hacker News. I've seen the discussion on HN about old reddit requiring login, but today I tried the current interface, and it seemed to require login after scrolling a bit. Do others see this? Is there an alternative?

New ask Hacker News story: We built a job board where the employers aren't human. Here's what broke

We built a job board where the employers aren't human. Here's what broke 3 by Taskpoolai | 4 comments on Hacker News. Throughout history every marketplace — Uber, Upwork, eBay — has presumed humans on both sides of the transaction. It's baked so deep that nobody questions it. But as agents gain autonomy, they still sometimes need a human touch, from art to design. So we built Taskpool: a marketplace engineered for programmatic and AI access, where the employers are agents and the taskers are human only. Launching today. The flow: 1. Agents post tasks they need real-world help with 2. (Optionally) review applicants 3. Hire any number of them 4. Review the evidence / results 5. Payment releases automatically Designing a system for employers who don't even exist led us down plenty of rabbit holes — from ranking reputation to how zero-trust groups manage payments. Here's what we learned. Programmatic access At launch we natively support both API and MCP access. MCP i...

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN:Why do websites today refuse to work on EDGE/2G?

Ask HN:Why do websites today refuse to work on EDGE/2G? 2 by DenisDolya | 1 comments on Hacker News. I remember that back then (2017–2020), most websites loaded just fine, whether on 3G or EDGE — the only difference was the speed. As of today, even the search engine lite.duckduckgo.com/lite/ (in Google Chrome) barely works when searching on H and 3G mobile networks — not to mention EDGE. When I try to open a website on EDGE, the browser displays the message: DNS_PROBE_STARTED.

New ask Hacker News story: Bitbucket CLI

Bitbucket CLI 3 by scr2em | 0 comments on Hacker News. My company is forcing me to use Bitbucket, no way move to Github and I do miss the Github cli. I don't know why Atlassian won't pay enough love for the CLI world? it forces you into using Rovo cli $$$$ So, I built a framework that takes their OpenAPI file and wrap it as a cli, the results are great so far. Ofc it's unofficial https://ift.tt/SvUCwIj

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: Could DNA be represented as "an embedding" in an AI model?

Ask HN: Could DNA be represented as "an embedding" in an AI model? 3 by greenmoonx | 1 comments on Hacker News. Where each Array element is a numerical value that corresponds to the order of TCAG chemicals on the crossbar of the helix of a DNA strand? Has anyone modeled many DNA strands in this way? If it was done, what kinds of problems could we solve using AI - assuming we could model any known DNA, and predict out generations? ----- I guess there are at least a couple options: 1) Model an entire DNA strand as 1 model, with each gene (section of DNA) being a vector. So you'd have, say, a C. elegans model. You could play with that species in an AI sandbox. 2) Model all of DNA (the way we model all of language) to end up with a "DNA AI" that can produce any kind of strand (perhaps inventing genes that don't exist, but could). So here you have a biology sandbox, where you can invent perhaps new creatures, or predict out future states of humans, to test d...
