New ask Hacker News story: My GLM-5.1 coding agent scored 94.3% on LiveCodeBench Lite (348/369)

My GLM-5.1 coding agent scored 94.3% on LiveCodeBench Lite (348/369) 3 by univence | 0 comments on Hacker News. I’ve been building Univence, a custom autonomous coding agent platform powered by GLM-5.1. We are building this to be a true Replit/Vercel competitor, but with zero vendor lock-in. You can build and develop entirely on our platform alongside our SOTA agent, but you own the code and can deploy it seamlessly to any 3rd-party host like DigitalOcean, Netlify, AWS, or your own VPS. To prove the core agent's capability, we just ran it against the LiveCodeBench Lite dataset (Python split). Here is the breakdown over a blind 369-problem run: Total: 348/369 passed (94.3%) Easy: 138/141 passed (97.9%) Medium: 152/156 passed (97.4%) Hard: 58/72 passed (80.6%) (Note: We achieved that 80% on Hard by engineering the agent's constraints to strictly prioritize optimal time complexities like O(n log n) over brute-force O(n^2), avoiding the Time Limit Exceeded errors that usually tr...

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: How are you handling data retention across your stack?

Ask HN: How are you handling data retention across your stack? 2 by preston-kwei | 0 comments on Hacker News. For people building SaaS with data across multiple systems (S3, DBs, caches, etc), do you actually have a clean way to manage retention/deletion across all of them? (Especially when each customer has custom policies) Or is it more a mix of lifecycle rules, cron jobs, and manual cleanup? How are you doing this today? I feel like this is a blocker in enterprise deals when selling to regulated industries.

New ask Hacker News story: Need advice: Back end engineer → infrastructure: how do you make the transition?

Need advice: Back end engineer → infrastructure: how do you make the transition? 5 by gokuljs | 1 comments on Hacker News. I’ve been a backend-heavy engineer for about 4 to 5 years, mostly in startups. For about 3 months I’ve been reading and building small things, but I’m not sure if I’m progressing or just spinning. I also don’t really have people around me in these areas, so I’ve mostly been trying to figure this out on my own, including using tools like GPT and Claude, but I still feel unclear. My work includes APIs, some real-time systems like WebRTC and streaming, and debugging production issues such as latency, buffering, and reliability. I’ve used AWS, Docker, Redis, and similar tools. I’m trying to move toward more systems-oriented work, such as infrastructure, distributed systems, or AI infrastructure like inference pipelines and data flow. The problem is I feel stuck and scattered. I keep jumping between directions such as infrastructure, SRE or platform work, and AI infr...

New ask Hacker News story: Anthropic bans orgs without warning

Anthropic bans orgs without warning 10 by alpinisme | 1 comments on Hacker News. I work at at an agricultural technology company. On Monday, everyone in our org woke up to emails saying that their Claude accounts had been suspended (~70 users). At first -- since the email was to me, with a link to a Google Form if I personally wanted to appeal -- I thought it must be an individualized ban (at least after deciding it wasn’t a phishing attempt). I couldn’t figure out why, but it set me searching my mind for possible triggers in my recent activity. On Slack, though, it quickly became apparent this was actually an organization-wide ban. And none of us had been warned, including our account admins. We submitted the Google Form, but that was just a black hole. We’re waiting to hear back still a day and a half later. But this is insane for a number of reasons: 1. Banning an organization for the behavior of an individual is a recipe for disaster in a business context. Disgruntled employees,...

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... ...
