New ask Hacker News story: Tips for Landing a YC Internship?

Tips for Landing a YC Internship? 2 by cnnadozi | 0 comments on Hacker News. I'm a rising sophmore in university, and I really want to work for a YC-backed startup this Fall (leaning towards consumer products). I think I have solid experience (interned at AWS this summer as a SWE, and I've also built and scaled consumer mobile apps solo to 20k+ downloads). My main method so fair has been sending cold DMs to founders on Linkedin for startups I find interesting, but so far I've had no luck. Any advice?

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: When did we go from agentic loops to graphs?

Ask HN: When did we go from agentic loops to graphs? 2 by grandimam | 1 comments on Hacker News. The AI engineering conversation seems to be shifting daily: from prompts, loops, to now graphs. I’m curious whether there is genuine progress happening in the field that has given me so much or whether folks are creating terminology because they want to feel closer to action or be able to say they predicted the next big thing.

New ask Hacker News story: Tell HN: I hate your fuzzy search

Tell HN: I hate your fuzzy search 41 by tehwebguy | 19 comments on Hacker News. Not just HN the site, everyone’s fuzzy search sucks. Let me do exact match search. Even if it’s an option I have to dig deep to find. When I ran a site that had lots of search use I agonized over making search good and never nuked exact match for the sake of some fuzzy matching. I wish others would do the same.

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: What former "must-have" AI agent skills have you deprecated?

Ask HN: What former "must-have" AI agent skills have you deprecated? 2 by lpjstack | 0 comments on Hacker News. As LLMs get stronger, I'm pruning my agent skill library. I've removed multi-step workflows (like superpowers) and web wrappers (like Agent Browse) that base models now handle natively, which speeds up context and improves performance. Are you doing similar cleanup? What former go-to tools or skills have you recently ditched?
