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...
