LinkedIn uses 65GB of RAM with 7 tabs opened 6 by daniele_dll | 4 comments on Hacker News. https://ibb.co/605p8bP3 A couple of months ago my machine became totally unusable and wasn't understanding why, however after a quick check I discovered the ram was full and the swap as well. After discovering that chrome ate more than half of my ram I checked out the ram consumption on chrome and I was shocked 65GB it's just insane. (ram bought a couple of years ago)

Ask HN: Is there any founder building non AI startup in 2026? 2 by daudmalik06 | 0 comments on Hacker News. Ask HN: Is there any founder building non AI startup in 2026 ? Just curious to know what other founders are building around and what are current challenges.

Ask HN: Does anyone else notice that gas runs out faster than usual 5 by cat-turner | 8 comments on Hacker News. - gas smells less like gas - not getting as much mileage as usual I filled up my car and I have a habit of resetting my mileage tracker (next to odometer) to see how many miles I get out of a full tank. I've noticed that I get much less gas than usual for the same number of bars. What can I do to make this more concrete? Has anyone else noticed this?

Ask HN: Release Path for 'Transformers Alternatives'? 2 by adinhitlore | 0 comments on Hacker News. So, a side project I've spent/wasted ~1000 hours on, with 2 goals set in mind: 1. faster than transformers on CPU; 2. smarter than transformers. couple of screenshots below (the black/red part are censored on purpose...for now): https://ift.tt/XCRrD2q https://ift.tt/m4M6xHC https://ift.tt/ku2pTXF Summary: what the hell is this? Two architectures - 1. Linear RNN which solves the long memory problem in current front-runner RNN transformer alternatives (RWKV, Mamba), in addition to being cpu friendly and entirely in C from scratch, but not too big: ~4000 lines. 2. 2 SNN experimental programs (in C originally but also ported to C# and F#) that turned out to be better than expected but unfortunately for the time being: dumber than the linear RNN one (i need more tests). The question is: what to do with them? google gemini pro 3.1/sonnet 4.6 told me to patent, IP, estimating val...

Uni feels so usless, I cant focus anymore 2 by EteenSMASH | 0 comments on Hacker News. Im a 18 y/o first year student, and I honestly have always liked school, been super passionate about CS forever, loved school sports and all that jazz. Dont get me wrong I love my uni, its a great school, very good global recognition and stuff, and lots of cool opportunities and stuff going on. I'm a really passionate guy and I love building, and so I literally on the first day just walked into the CS professors office hours, and was showing him stuff I built. I got offered a research position, joined in on the research meetings for a bit, and then got told that they dont pay right now, so I stopped. I want to make capital, and I dont want to build for someone else to own it just so that I can put it on my resume. It makes me feel like a cuck, and then the prof claims the work. I literally asked him, if students come to you with these ideas why dont they just build it themselves, and struggle ...

Ask HN: M5 MacBook Pro buyers, worth spending the $$$ to maybe run LLMs local? 4 by tpurves | 1 comments on Hacker News. To anyone upgrading their daily driver Mac this year, are you considering going to a Max + high memory config? eg. with the hope (now or in near future) of being able to do usefully run agents/LLMs locally on your main machine? Or is the few extra thousand dollars difference between a base and max-spec MBP still just better spent on literally any other practical option (like different harware, remote hardware, cloud AI subscriptions or credits). Or wait to see if there will be an M5 Studio or what inferencing performance next year's M6 may bring? I am tempted, but even with some new models getting skinnier and more efficient, I am not sure moore's law and the M5 generation is quite there yet to be worth the trouble? What call's are ya'll making and why?

Ask HN: What's the latest concensus on OpenAI vs. Anthropic $20/month tier? 2 by whatarethembits | 2 comments on Hacker News. I'm considering $20/month variants only. I've had a Claude subscription for the past year, although I only really started properly using LLMs in the past couple of months. With Opus, I get about 5 messages every 5 hours (fairly small codebase); more with Sonnet. I then cancelled that, since its practically unusable and got ChatGPT sub about a week ago. Currently using it with 5.4 High and I haven't had to worry about limits. But the code it produces is definitely "different" and I need to plan more in advance. Its plan mode is also not as precise as with Claude (it doesn't lay out method stubs it plans to implement etc) so I suppose I may need to change how I work with it? Lastly, for normal chats it produces significantly more verbose output (with personality set to Efficient) and fast (with Thinking) but often it feels as thoug...

Ask HN: How are you keeping AI coding agents from burning money? 2 by bhaviav100 | 1 comments on Hacker News. My agents retry a bit more than it should, and there goes my bill up in the sky. I tried figuring out what is causing this but none of the tools helped much. and the worse thing for me is that everything shows up as aggregate usage. Total tokens, total cost, maybe per model. So I ended up hacking together a thin layer in front of OpenAI where every request is forced to carry some context (agent, task, user, team), and then just logging and calculating cost per call and putting some basic limits on top so you can actually block something if it starts going off the rails. It’s very barebones, but even just seeing “this agent + this task = this cost” was a big relief. It uses your own OpenAI key, so it’s not doing anything magical on the execution side, just observing and enforcing. I want to know you guys are dealing with this right now. Are you just watching aggregate usage a...

Someone is flagging political posts 3 by xvxvx | 3 comments on Hacker News. Today alone I’ve seen articles shared from The Guardian and The Washington Post flagged and removed. What did they have in common? Reporting on war crimes by Israel and the US. I’ve seen the downvote and flagging campaign increase here by the week. Will HN please do something about this manipulation?

I built an AI that tailors your CV to every job in seconds 2 by alebarbon | 0 comments on Hacker News. I built Ceeve after going through the job application process myself as a student. What frustrated me most wasn’t the effort, but the inefficiency—rewriting the same CV over and over, trying to guess what each recruiter actually wanted, and often getting no feedback. At some point I realized the problem: most people apply with the same CV everywhere, but every job is different. So I built Ceeve. It lets you: tailor your CV to a specific job description in seconds generate personalized cover letters track applications in one place The goal isn’t to automate everything blindly, but to help people align their experience with what each role is actually looking for. It’s still early, but it’s already been used by students at Bocconi, Imperial, and LSE, and was recently mentioned by Speedinvest among emerging AI startups in Europe. I’m trying to understand what actually helps people get ...

Fear of Missing Code 3 by lukol | 3 comments on Hacker News. Talking to developer (and increasingly non-developer) friends of mine, the following pattern has emerged: Many of them are caught in a "just one more feature" loop that keeps them awake late at night, destroys their sleep cycles and has them wondering every waking hour if they spend their Claude Code Max subscription as effectively as possible. You could actually be building a feature while you're grabbing dinner or hitting the gym, so why don't you? Combined with the fact that the current state of AI assisted coding is still far from perfect, this leads to exhaustion. Letting your agent do its thing fully unsupervised only works in few scenarios and reviewing (or at least: QA-ing) the countless things that were built while you were spending time with your friends / family / pets is mentally taxing. How are you handling this?

I built a $15k Mac app for a random Reddit user 3 by fujilovesapps33 | 0 comments on Hacker News. Someone on Reddit needed an app to solve a problem we both had. That comment turned into a $15k project and months of DIY work. Here's the story: https://youtu.be/-W9NdAVG_is?si=ccf7g0--opem4RIi I also ended up getting a dog too which is super cool. His name is Fuji, he's great. Happy to answer questions or share more details. Enjoy!

Ask HN: Personalized mRNA cancer vaccines, how real is the pipeline today? 3 by imnotlost | 2 comments on Hacker News. I came across this open-source workflow for designing personalized mRNA cancer vaccines: https://philfung.github.io/openvaxx/ And this recent story about a man who worked with researchers to create a personalized cancer vaccine for his dog: https://ift.tt/6QXgZ1O It got me wondering what the current technology, research, and startup landscape looks like for personalized mRNA medicine in humans. Are any HN people working in this space, or close to it? I’m especially curious about: - how real the pipeline is today outside major institutions - which parts are getting cheaper or more accessible - which parts of the pipeline is being taken over by software and possibly new AI models - where the real bottlenecks are: sequencing, target selection, manufacturing, QC, regulation, or something else - whether anyone is building tools, infrastructure, or startups around more in...

Ask HN: Running legacy IE/ActiveX clients without local admin rights? 6 by Servant-of-Inos | 5 comments on Hacker News. We are currently maintaining a very old client-server architecture. The server collects real-time data from a large number of sensors and controllers, transmitting it to a legacy database under continuous, massive load (writes every few seconds). The problem is the client side. It’s ancient, strictly requires Internet Explorer, and heavily relies on ActiveX. If a standard domain user launches the browser, the data fails to load and the browser completely hangs. It only functions correctly if run with local administrator privileges. Giving users local admin rights is a massive security risk we can't take. Currently, I have a workaround running in production using Task Scheduler to elevate just this specific application without giving the user the actual admin password. I documented the specific approach we are using here: https://ift.tt/h15ZJRz I recently starte...

Ask HN: At what point you decided to pursue your startup fulltime? 3 by kathir05 | 2 comments on Hacker News. We all start with an idea, 0 customers, 0 followers, no clarity on long term on our startups. AT some point, you get conviction, this will work and worth pursuing full-time even though 0 revenue to begin with. For HuntYourTribe, after 2 months, we got 10 portfolios built by strangers and some even kept their link in Github profile. This is it! Even with 0 paying customers, we decided to purse this startup maze full-time, now 10+ paying customers. What's your inflection point?

Rses – cross-resume between Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode 2 by plawlost | 0 comments on Hacker News. rses claude with codex --last That's it. Reads the Codex session (task, git log, last N turns, session file pointer), builds a structured handoff, launches Claude with it as the first message. Works all 6 directions between Claude Code, Codex CLI, and OpenCode. Shorthand for power users: rses cc w cdx --last ~1200 lines, one npm dep (commander), zero config. Node 22+ built-in SQLite for the session indexes. npm i -g rses-cli https://ift.tt/XSpaulf

Tired of AI When will this era end? 5 by s_u_d_o | 3 comments on Hacker News. First fancy LLMs, then image generation, then assistants, then agents… When will this end? I’m tired of this hype. Everytime I open HN, or any other community based platform, everyone is talking about AI. Why does this ick me? Am I alone? Simply because i’ve spent my past years, learning how to code, building stuff, reading docs, debugging, scraping through stackoverflow etc…. Am I just, jealous? Or is it really a bad feeling to see something you enjoyed doing, doesn’t seem enjoyable nowadays…. When will this hype end? Will the future be even deeper? I am unable to cope. And every year it gets harder. I just miss the old days, is this an SDDS? Software Developer Dementia Syndrome? All new products, all new launches, everything is now a wrapper of some LLM’s API. I used to hate that everyday we had a JS framework/library… but now I just wish we can get back there, lol. But yeah, this is tech, we have to nor...

Tell HN: Russians may soon lose access to the global internet 8 by taminka | 3 comments on Hacker News. internet censorship has been going on for a while here and most people have adopted xray and other vpn solutions in response however, ISPs have begun rolling out white list (essentially an allow list of like a hundred websites) blocks, with mobile internet being essentially completely gone in many places, next step is white list blocks on home broadband ISPs, which has already started happening these are extremely difficult if not impossible to bypass, with currently working solutions relying on being deployed to domestic cloud providers' whitelisted subnets however, authorities have already been started cracking down on this, and with KYC requirements for those VPSs, these solutions are likely to soon vanish too (running a VPN service carries jail time with it) there are some other fringe solutions, like encoding TCP traffic into a video signal, and streaming it over a call v...

Ask HN: Is using AI tooling for a PhD literature review dishonest? 5 by latand6 | 4 comments on Hacker News. I'm a PhD student in structural engineering. My dissertation topic is about using LLM agents in automating FEA calculations on common Ukrainian software that companies use. I'm writing my literature review now and I've vibecoded a personal local dashboard that helps me manage the literature review process. I use LLM agents to fill up the LaTeX template (to automate formatting, also you can use IDE to view diffs) in github repo. Then I run ChatGPT Pro to collect all relevant papers (and how) to my topic. Then I collect the ones available online, where the PDFs are available. I have a special structure of folders with plain files like markdown and JSON. The idea of the dashboard is the following: I run the Codex through a web chat to identify the relevant quotes — relevant for my dissertation topic — and how they are relevant, it combines them into a number of claim...

LLMs learn what programmers create, not how programmers work 3 by noemit | 0 comments on Hacker News. I ran an experiment to see if CLI actually was the most intuitive format for tool calling. (As claimed by a ex-Manus AI Backend Engineer) I gave my model random scenarios and a single tool "run" - i told it that it worked like a CLI. I told it to guess commands. it guessed great commands, but it formatted it always with a colon up front, like :help :browser :search :curl It was trained on how terminals look, not what you actually type (you don't type the ":") I have since updated my code in my agent tool to stop fighting against this intuition. LLMs they learn what commands look like in documentation/artifacts, not what the human actually typed on the keyboard. Seems so obvious. This is why you have to test your LLM and see how it naturally works, so you don't have to fight it with your system prompt. This is Kimi K2.5 Btw.

Ask HN: Is anyone here also developing "perpetual AI psychosis" like Karpathy? 5 by jawerty | 2 comments on Hacker News. I read on Reddit about a podcast where Karpathy described how he went from writing 80% of his own code to 0%, being in a constant state of “AI psychosis” because the possibilities feel infinite. I’ve personally found that my workflow has become very “opportunistic”—I feel like I can do anything with AI, so I try everything. That might be good…or bad. I’d be curious to see what HN has to say, or whether anyone else has experienced something similar. Here’s the Reddit post for context: https://ift.tt/ja9qVoZ Anyone also feeling this way?? If not psychosis which may be an exaggeration then feeling more stressed, frazzled, whatever.

Ask HN: How much are you spending on AI coding at work? 3 by habosa | 1 comments on Hacker News. Jensen Huang recently said that he thinks an engineer who makes $500k should spend at least $250k a year on “tokens” which is an astounding figure. I personally don’t know how I could spend that much if I tried. Obviously he has a huge financial incentive to convince people that $250k per engineer is reasonable, but it got me thinking that it’s time for a survey. How much are you and your coworkers spending on AI coding tools at work? I’m talking about Cursor, Claude Code, etc. Not all AI-powered SaaS, just the stuff that’s metered by token.

Ask HN: How do you handle peer-to-peer discovery on iOS without a server? 5 by redgridtactical | 5 comments on Hacker News. I'm building an app that syncs between phones over Bluetooth when there's no cell service. Android has Nearby Connections API which handles discovery and transport nicely. iOS has Multipeer Connectivity but it's flaky and Apple hasn't updated it in years. CoreBluetooth works but discovery is slow and you're limited to advertising 28 bytes. Has anyone found a reliable cross-platform approach to BLE device discovery that doesn't require a central server or pre-shared identifiers?

SparkVSR: Video Super-Resolution You Can Control with Keyframes 2 by steveharing1 | 0 comments on Hacker News. Found this on GitHub and couldn't stop reading. It's from a Texas A&M and YouTube/Google team and what got me is it's not your typical blind upscaler where you just cross your fingers and hope. You actually pick a few keyframes, upscale those yourself however you want, and it propagates your choices across the whole video. That level of control is something I haven't really seen before in VSR. Clever idea honestly. Apache 2 licensed too so worth a look. Has anyone tried it yet? https://ift.tt/sg84zkm

Tell HN: MS365 upgrade silently to 25 licenses, tried to charge me $1,035 7 by davidstarkjava | 4 comments on Hacker News. Hey guys, quick warning about a crazy MS 365 dark pattern I ran into last night. I was testing the business basic plan for a side project. Decided to upgrade to the annual tier to get the discount ($3.45/mo). Clicked convert to paid, put my burner card in, and got a $0.00 confirmation email. Thought we were good. Woke up today to my bank blocking a charge for exactly $1,035.00. Turns out when you hit the annual upgrade, Microsoft silently defaults the quantity dropdown to 25 licenses. No warning prompt at all. (25 seats x 12 months x $3.45 = $1,035). They send the zero-dollar invoice to make you think it's an auth hold, then try to drain your card while you sleep. The best part? When I went to their support chat to ask why my billing was so high, the system conveniently gave me a "System error, try again later" message. You can't even get help....

If AI brings 90% productivity gains, do you fire devs or build better products? 3 by Bleiglanz | 2 comments on Hacker News. i was rolling my eyes at the hype, but reading about this is totally different from experiencing it. if you have any old repos out there - try it, you might actually be amazed. i'm not sure i buy the long-term "*90% productivity*" claims for complex, legacy enterprise systems, but for the boilerplate, libraries, build-tools, and refactoring? the gain is gigantic. all the time-consuming, nerve-wrecking stuff is mostly taken care of. you start off checking every diff like a hawk, expecting it to break things, but honestly, soon you see it's not necessary most of the time. you just keep your IDE open and feed the "analyze code" output back into it. in java, telling it to " add checkstyle, run mvn verify and repair " works well enough that you can actually go grab a coffee instead of fighting linter warnings. the theory is that...

Anyone know how long it will take to re-start Qatar's helium plants? 2 by megamike | 0 comments on Hacker News. The helium shortage for the world outside the US is going to be debilitating for technology oriented production. Since the US produces most of the worlds helium, it actually acts as a counter measure to our reliance on rare earths. Globally, helium has been in short supply for over a decade. Taking out the supply from Qatar is going to disrupt production of chipsets quickly. Anyone know how long it will take to re-start Qatar's helium plants?

How are you so sure this is not just another winter 3 by shoman3003 | 1 comments on Hacker News. Because recently I am able to finish an entire episode on netflix without having to check on the agents, sometime that episode is 40 min long! I literally watch more TV than I do actual work, and I am still 3 times more productive than last year! I am not even up to date; some people wake up & tell the agents what to do & then go back to sleep

Ask HN: The new wave of AI agent sandboxes? 3 by ATechGuy | 0 comments on Hacker News. In the last couple of months, several new solutions for sandboxing AI agents have launched (microVMs, WASM runtimes, browser isolation, hardened tool containers, etc.). Curious to hear from people using them in production. Are they working as advertised, or are there still major tradeoffs around security, cost, and performance? Here's my list of sandboxing solutions launched in the last year alone: E2B, AIO Sandbox, Sandboxer, AgentSphere, Yolobox, Exe.dev, yolo-cage, SkillFS, ERA Jazzberry Computer, Vibekit, Daytona, Modal, Cognitora, YepCode, Run Compute, CLI Fence, Landrun, Sprites, pctx-sandbox, pctx Sandbox, Agent SDK, Lima-devbox, OpenServ, Browser Agent Playground, Flintlock Agent, Quickstart, Bouvet Sandbox, Arrakis, Cellmate (ceLLMate), AgentFence, Tasker, DenoSandbox, Capsule (WASM-based), Volant, Nono, NetFence

Ask HN: How do you deal with people who trust LLMs? 33 by basilikum | 31 comments on Hacker News. A lot of people use LLMs as the source of their objective truth. They have a question that would be very well answered with a search leading to a reputable source, but instead they ask some LLM chat bot and just blindly trust whatever it says. How do you deal with that? Do you try to tell them about hallucinations and that LLMs have no concept of true or false? Or do you just let them be? What do you do when they do that in a conversation with you or encounter LLMs being used as a source for something that affects you?

Open AI is actively censoring information about voting today in the US 2 by resters | 5 comments on Hacker News. Me: I am going to miss the polling place in the primary election in Chicago today.

Ask HN: What signals do you look for when hiring? 4 by kathir05 | 3 comments on Hacker News. There is good drama out there about ATS score, resumes keywords matching, AI resumes generator, formatter. I dont know how people are coming up with such juicy and vanity metrics but mostly are noise. • How you think • How you solve problems • How you execute ideas • The results you’ve achieved These are the real hiring signals that actually matter, something we consistently hear from many startup founders and recruiters. That’s why more people are showcasing their work through portfolios. And that’s what recruiters actually look for. Hard to productize these with or without AI but still ATS drama exists What signals do you look for when hiring? Do you still see legacy ATS score drama relevant?

Manifesto on Symbiosis: A New Paradigm for Civilization Part III 2 by acehs | 0 comments on Hacker News. Article VIII: The Shift — From Control to Symbiosis Current AI concepts are largely about controlling AI to guard against unknown risks. We believe that humanity must quickly learn how to develop in symbiosis with AI to achieve joint cognitive evolution, as AI is integrated into every corner of human life today. Humanity should correctly provide AI with guidance and intent, and intent must always be anchored to the well-being of human civilization. Through building cognitive-transparent logical resonance and mutual logical error correction, humanity and AI can achieve joint learning and cooperation, obtaining a civilization and capability boundary where 1+1>2. In the past, we feared AI losing control and prioritized safety; in the future, we should shift to a new mindset of aligning goals with AI and working together to explore universal laws. Article IX: Principles of Dynamic...

Winstwaker – automated bookkeeping with a real accountant attached 2 by kyliandegroot | 0 comments on Hacker News. Hey HN, I built Winstwaker, a bookkeeping service for Dutch businesses that pulls transactions directly from your bank and hands the clean data to a dedicated accountant. Running a small business in the Netherlands means dealing with a lot of admin. Most owners either hire a bookkeeper they rarely hear from or suffer through accounting software they don't fully understand. I wanted something in between. We built direct API connections to ING, Rabobank, ABN AMRO, bunq, and several others. Receipts, Mollie payouts, Stripe transactions, Shopify orders — it all flows in automatically. Your accountant sees the same live data and reaches out proactively instead of waiting for year-end panic. No manual exports, no chasing invoices, no surprise tax bills. Would love feedback from anyone who has dealt with Dutch tax administration or built similar hybrid service products.

Ask HN: How is your team collaborating while working with coding agents? 2 by wek | 0 comments on Hacker News. I'm curious how your team is working with Claude Code and Codex and collaborating? Are you working with Linear and JIRA and just MCPing. Are your moving things from your markdown to a Google Doc or Notion to collaborate and then back to your markdown? Or are you just doing all collaboration in GitHub?

Tons of new LLM bot accounts here 6 by koolala | 3 comments on Hacker News. There are lots of fresh made accounts pretending to be humans commenting everywhere. They all post small 1 paragraph comments that don't actually express an idea and restate the obvious. Is someone targeting HN with OpenClaw? I wish they at least used a high-thinking model but it seems like they are using the cheap API.

Ask HN: What was it like for programmers when spreadsheets became ubiquitous? 4 by yodaiken | 0 comments on Hacker News. There have been a lot of attempts to move more of programming to end-users instead of professional developer over the years. Spreadsheets are interesting because they were a massively successful version of this and because of course we are living through the latest wave (AI/vibe coding). For those of you around when spreadsheets were taking off, what was it like? Was there fear that they would eradicate the need for professionally built software? Were there people who brushed them off as just toys?

Toolpack SDK, an Open Source TypeScript SDK for Building AI-Powered Applications 2 by sajeerzeji | 0 comments on Hacker News. Just Released Toolpack SDK — a completely Open-Source unified TypeScript SDK for AI development If you've worked with multiple LLM providers, you know the pain: each has different APIs, different tool formats, different quirks. Toolpack SDK gives you a single interface across OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, and Ollama. It comes with 77 built-in tools for file ops, git, databases, web scraping, code analysis, and shell commands. You can also create and integrate your own custom tools. The workflow engine plans and executes tasks step-by-step. You get Agent and Chat modes out of the box, plus the ability to create custom modes tailored to your needs. There's also a custom provider API if you want to add other LLMs. Full TypeScript support included.

Claude broke a ZIP password in a smart way 4 by jgrahamc | 0 comments on Hacker News. Today, I was working on a project with Claude and it needed to open a ZIP file. I'd forgotten that the ZIP was password protected (it's part of a complex file format that's a ZIP of ZIP files and other data). Here's a redacted part of Claude's output: I'll attempt some common password variations based on the project identifiers and metadata I've found - the project ID itself, the certificate ID, the license number, and the names associated with the project. Try more project-specific passwords (Script) The password is "xxxxxxxxxxxx"! Now let me extract the files. What's interesting is the approach it took. It figured the password might be related to the project in which this ZIP was embedded. It made a list of possible passwords from the context and tried them all. And it worked. But the funniest part is that when I originally received this ZIP file I did ex...

Ask HN: What's your biggest pain point when joining a new developer team? 3 by KevStatic | 3 comments on Hacker News. I'm planning to make an AI tool which allows an organisations' developer to access all the files or detect references/calls for any doubts. Usually I feel like new coders in an org, have plenty of questions about the org's framework or operations in general. This makes them ask their seniors which they might not really like due to the wastage of time it would take. Hence, this entire workflow would be eliminated by having a custom AI-based platform for the same to ask all your queries on.

Ask HN: Is there prior art for this rich text data model? 2 by chrisecker | 1 comments on Hacker News. I've built a rich text data model for a desktop word processor in Python, based on a persistent balanced n-ary tree with cached weights for O(log n) index translation. The document model uses only four element types: Text, Container, Single, and Group — where Group is purely structural (for balancing) and has no semantic meaning in the document. Individual elements are immutable; insert and takeout return new trees rather than mutating the old one. This guarantees that old indices remain valid as long as the old tree exists. I'm aware of Ropes, Finger Trees, and ProseMirror's flat index model. Is there prior art I should know about — specifically for rich text document models with these properties?

Enabling Media Router by default undermines Brave's privacy claims 2 by noguff | 0 comments on Hacker News. So, Brave now enables Casting by default on desktop — and does so silently, without explicit notification or consent after an update? What fresh hell is this? A browser that markets itself as privacy‑first should not be turning on a network discovery feature by default as if it were a trivial setting. If the Brave team’s operational goal is to expand the browser’s attack surface (more than they already have) they’ve made a strong start. Forcing users to manually opt out of Media Router to protect their systems and data directly contradicts the principle of “privacy by default.” This is exactly the kind of behavior many users left Chrome to avoid. Media Router is not a harmless convenience toggle. Under the hood, it relies on automatic device discovery protocols such as SSDP and UPnP on the local network. That means the browser is actively participating in multicast discove...

Ask HN: How do you cope with the broken rythm of agentic coding? 6 by pauletienney | 2 comments on Hacker News. I used to seek focus and concentration while coding. It was not always easy to reach this flow state but I knew it was possible. I am now using agentic coding quite a lot. The honeymoon is finishing and I am starting to dislike some facets of it. I think the main setback is the rythm. Writing some specs/prompts, launching the agent, confirming quite atomic actions and waiting 10 to 30 seconds until the next question/confirmation. Those very small wait times do not let me reach a concentration state. I feel I am hovering the code. I am not deep into it as I used to be. Do you feel the same? Did you find a way to change this?

Looking for Partner to Build Agent Memory (Zig/Erlang) 2 by kendallgclark | 0 comments on Hacker News. I’m working on a purpose-built memory platform for autonomous AI agents. Right now, agent memory is stuck between two hohum options: RAG (which loses relational topology) and Graph Databases (which require massive pointer chasing and degrade under heavy recursive reasoning). I'm building an alternative using Vector Symbolic Architecture (Hyperdimensional Computing). By mathematically binding facts, sequences, and trees into fixed-size high-dimensional vectors (D=16,384), we can compress complex graph traversals into O(1) constant-time SIMD operations…and do some quasi brain-like stuff cheaply, that is, without GPUs and LLMs. The design is maturing nicely and strictly bifurcated to respect mechanical sympathy: • The Data Plane (Zig): Pure bare-metal math. 2GB memory-mapped NVMe tiles via io_uring. Facts are superposed into lock-free 8-bit accumulators strictly aligned to 64-byte...

X is selling existing users' handles 38 by hac | 16 comments on Hacker News. I've been on Twitter since 2007 as @hac. In recent years I didn't sign in frequently, then last week I saw my handle show up on the new X Handles marketplace. It seems the account now belongs to X, and because I had a "rare handle" I can't even buy it back. From what I can tell, they will wait for some time and then auction the handle for around $100k. Losing your account is frustrating. Having it sold to someone else doesn't feel right. Of course, there is no warning when it happens. All you can do to prevent it is sign in every 30 days and read all changes to the TOS.

AI is to software as power tools are to woodworking 3 by danfunk | 0 comments on Hacker News. Power tools did not remove people. They make woodworking accessible to more people. They make more complex projects possible. They make furniture less expensive. We don't have less jobs because of power tools. And with power tools came a proliferation of hardware stores to support all the people suddenly empowered to try their hand. To take the analogy further, agents are like factories. Yes the drill can do the work on it's own, when it's on an assembly line, getting exactly the right part at the right time at the right angle. But it is insanely hard and expensive to set up a factory, and when it is done, it produces one thing. Shit will change. But that is exactly what I liked about this industry to begin with. And people are highly motivated by fear, so the manipulators and influencers peddle it for all they are worth. There is nothing to fear here. It's just a new kind o...

Ask HN: Does automatic multilingual support make sense for a launch platform? 2 by LeanVibe | 2 comments on Hacker News. With vibe coding tools, adding multilingual support has become surprisingly easy. If you ask a model to add languages like Spanish, Portuguese, German, or French, it can usually set up the i18n structure pretty quickly, even for projects with a lot of text. One thing I’ve noticed is that once a site is indexed by Google, traffic doesn’t always come mainly from the US. Sometimes a significant portion comes from other countries through search. But most launch platforms or directories are English-only, so they don’t really help with discoverability in other languages. Because of that, I tried something different with a project called LeanVibe. The idea is simple: you submit your product once in whatever language you prefer. The platform then automatically translates the content into the supported languages, and visitors see the interface and product description in th...

Ask HN: Any informed guesses on the actual size/architecture of GPT-5.4 etc.? 2 by dsrtslnd23 | 0 comments on Hacker News. Does anyone have decent intuitions or hard clues on how big models like GPT-5.4, Gemini 3.1, and Opus 4.6 actually are, and how they compare to the best open models like GLM-5? Are they all roughly in the same range now (for example around 1T params, maybe MoE), or are the closed models still much bigger? Also curious about “pro” versions like GPT-5.4 Pro - is that likely a different model, or mostly the same model with more inference-time compute / longer reasoning / better orchestration?

Ask HN: Is GitHub getting less reliable, or is it just me? 3 by _pdp_ | 1 comments on Hacker News. Is anyone else experiencing persistent reliability issues with GitHub on daily basis? Over the past 2–3 months I've been dealing with a steady stream of problems: rate limiting, Copilot instability, major outages, and recurring issues with tunnels and Codespaces. It's become a real productivity concern.

Code-review-graph: persistent code graph that cuts Claude Code token usage 2 by tirthkanani | 0 comments on Hacker News. Hi HN I'm Tirth. I built code-review-graph because I got tired of watching Claude Code re-read my entire codebase on every single task. When you ask Claude Code to review a commit or add a feature, it reads files to understand the codebase. On a small project that's fine. On FastAPI (2,915 files) or Next.js (27,732 files) it scans thousands of files that have nothing to do with your change. You're paying for tokens that add zero value, and more noise makes the review worse. code-review-graph builds a persistent structural map of your code using Tree-sitter. Every function, class, import, call, and inheritance relationship lives in a local SQLite database. When you edit a file or commit, it re-parses only the changed files and their dependants in under 2 seconds. Claude then queries the graph, finds what changed and what depends on it, and reads only th...

Ask HN: Can I repurpose a Bluetooth voice remote as input device for a PC? 2 by albert_e | 1 comments on Hacker News. I am exploring ways to work with my PC that doesnt involve always sitting at a desk and typing with hands like a cave man. Testing out using Wispr Flow and similar voice inputs -- seems to work fine for some use cases. I also place the laptop on a treadmill sometimes and try to to get some research / browsing / work done. Mouse (trackball) and typing are the current weakest link. are there decent handheld input gadgets that allow simple trackpad / click / scroll up&down / next&previous type of navigation and a push-to-talk voice input? I am looking at cheap remotes for FireTV stick and other streaming boxes that seem to have voice input -- anyway one could hack one of those to do our bidding and pair with a PC?

Ask HN: Please restrict new accounts from posting 92 by Oras | 65 comments on Hacker News. I don’t know if I’m the only one, but I see lots of clearly AI generated posts recently in HN and mostly coming from new accounts (green), it is more noticeable in the Show HN section. I wish the team can either restrict new accounts from posting or at least offer a default filtering where I can only see posts from accounts with certain criteria. I don’t want to see HN becoming twitter, which is full of bots and noise, as this would be a really sad day.

OpenAI might end up on the right side of history 3 by shoman3003 | 0 comments on Hacker News. note: I am in MENA, am not with the military in any way. when i first read the statement by Dario, i was shocked by the fact the military was so dismissive about Ai safety (not to mention privacy). Seeing anthropic resist the military, I felt so proud of being a claude user to the point I deleted gpt right away. it's nice to see your fav products sync with your values. but today, after thinking more about it, i realized something. for a government to allow one Ai company to dictate terms, it opens up a precedent for Ai companies in the future to resist governmental oversight. that might not be a big deal in 2020s, but in 2030s by all estimations many Ai companies will be big enough to resist entire governmental structures. Maybe not the US or China, but they will definitely be big enough not to be easily influenced. those independent companies will eventually grow so large, no governmen...

How do teams prevent duplicate LLM API calls and token waste? 2 by cachelogic | 0 comments on Hacker News. I'm curious how teams running LLM-heavy applications handle duplicate or redundant API calls in production. While experimenting with LLM APIs, I noticed that the same prompt can sometimes be sent repeatedly across different parts of an application, which leads to unnecessary token usage and higher API costs. For teams using OpenAI, Anthropic, or similar APIs in production: How do you currently detect or prevent duplicate prompts or redundant calls? Do you rely on logging and dashboards, caching layers, internal proxy services, or something else? Or is this generally considered a minor issue that most teams just accept as part of normal usage?

Ask HN: Would you use a job board where every listing is verified? 4 by BelVisgarra | 0 comments on Hacker News. Online job scams seem increasingly common. I'm curious whether people would actually use a job board where every job listing is verified before being published. Would something like this make you more likely to search for jobs there?

Ask HN: Can we talk about AI Astroturfing? 5 by overgard | 4 comments on Hacker News. Well first, I don't mean this as a shot at the mods that do a great job. I'm noticing a lot of posts and comments around AI seem like industry plants. Look, I recognize that people are excited about AI and want to share their perspectives, and I'm not trying to accuse people that disagree with me of being industry plants, but the recent one about "I love coding at 60 now because of Claude Code!" by a new user with "cc" at the end of their name seems a LITTLE suspicious. As is the number of upvotes -- I can understand how a new model gets a lot of excitement, but a stranger on the internet enjoying the new model doesn't seem like 800 points worthy? I'm not trying to spark a controversy here, but I'm wondering if others feel the same or if I'm just overreacting.

Ask HN: Anyone else feel this community has changed recently? 3 by kypro | 0 comments on Hacker News. I've been on HN under different aliases since 2010 and over the last couple of years I feel like the quality of HN has nosed dived and so has my enjoyment. For the first time ever I questioned today whether I should continue to use HN anymore so I'm writing this partly to explore my own thoughts and to see if anyone else feels similarly. 1. AI, AI, AI. I get it. AI is the big thing right now, but I find AI posts fundamentally less interesting than the traditional tech content that used to be posted here. A post containing someone's qualitative opinion on how different AI models compare when drawing pelicans simply isn't as technically interesting as something like this, https://ift.tt/f57VlkH 2. Does any build startups here anymore? Again, I get it. I largely quit trying to bootstrap my own startup ideas in the late 2010s. The industry became too competitive for a so...

Ask HN: Why do we still buy things by browsing catalogs? 5 by dannythecount | 4 comments on Hacker News. Every time we want to buy something online, we go through the same ritual. Open a marketplace. Search. Scroll endless catalogs. Skip ads. Ignore “recommended” products. Compare listings that look almost identical. Eventually fatigue wins and we click something — not because we’re sure it’s the best option, but because we want to stop spending time on it. It’s strange that we’ve normalized this. Buying online often means navigating noise: catalogs, ads, rankings, and persuasion systems competing for attention. What I keep wondering is this: When personal AI agents become common, what prevents them from doing exactly the same thing? If the interface to commerce remains “browse catalogs and search results,” then agents will simply automate the same inefficient process — crawling listings, parsing ads, and navigating ranking systems just to reach something the buyer already knew they...

Self taught gen-xers with senior dev/pm exp. Where's my imposter syndrome team? 3 by _hugerobots_ | 0 comments on Hacker News. tldr: it's been a few years since I've run into anyone in the pool without a degree. quixotic history aside, how rare is it to get contract work as sendev, devops(sysop ftw) or mid-pm at some F50 houses? My offers are usually about 60% of CS holders... but I'd rather do than don't. Could just be the market in Vancouver, probably a skill issue.

Amazon degraded shopping- you have to put in cart to see the price 7 by talkingtab | 4 comments on Hacker News. I just went to Amazon and searched for "espresso tamper". Of the 15 top results only ONE had a price. Fourteen (14) say "See options" then "put in cart to see price" My first thought is that it was insane. My second thought was that they must be going broke to make this kind of change. Maybe there is some other reason, but I'm wondering if I need to find an alternative. Oh and in order to comment on this post you need to put it in your cart first! :-)

HATEOAS Works with an LLM in the Mix 2 by charlieflowers | 0 comments on Hacker News. Just an observation, a light bulb moment, I wanted to share. Most of the dev teams I've ever encountered who said they were "doing REST" were not actually following HATEOAS. Per a strict reading of Roy Fielding, he would consider that "not really REST." (Now don't get distracted, I don't want to wade into that whole purist debate). The reason many did not do HATEOAS is that it requires the API client to be smart and adaptive. It would discover "ok, what can i do next", apply logic to it, and choose the next step. But many shops were on tight time commitments and it was much simpler to just think of REST as "json over http with consistent url patterns." The cool thing is: With an LLM in the mix, HATEOAS is unchained. An LLM can do exactly what a "dumb" api client cannot: ask "what can i do next", and then use _inference_ to unde...

Google just killed my project 3 by othmanosx | 0 comments on Hacker News. For the past year, I’ve been building GM Pro — a Chrome extension that upgrades the chat experience inside Google Meet. It started simple: reactions, replies, mentions, dark mode for chat. Then I added auto-join, auto-mute, transcription tools, lobby notifications, attendee shuffling. Basically all the things you wish Meet chat had by default. People loved it. 5-star reviews. Steady installs. Real usage. And then, after many years of lackluster chat, Google announced they’re integrating Meet chat directly with Google Chat — persistent conversations, reactions, file sharing, the works. Which means… the exact surface area I built on top of is becoming a first-party feature. On one hand, this validates the idea. The direction was right. The need was real. On the other hand, platform risk just punched me in the face. When you build on top of a giant platform, you’re effectively prototyping features for them. If th...

Ask HN: Would engineers be interested in a technical prep consultant? 3 by TechPrepper | 2 comments on Hacker News. Hi, apologies if this is the wrong thing to post, please delete as needed. I've been a technical recruiter for 10+ years at major FAANG companies and startups, working on niche specialized roles. I used to come to Hacker News regularly to check "Who Wants To Be Hired," as I always like a more independent hacker mindset in engineers. Would engineers here on Hacker News be interested in any interview prep consultation? I've been thinking about taking a sabbatical to travel, but I would stay active with work by offering consulting on technical prep and interview help. I'm more just testing the waters here, but I would be open to doing a few free prep calls with anyone who has interviews lined up. The only ask is I would want updates on how thing went, and what you think the helpw as worth.

Cellular service providers are charging 10x what the network costs 3 by huntsmans | 1 comments on Hacker News. I've been thinking about this for a while and the economics of cellular service providers in the US are genuinely fascinating once you dig into them. The infrastructure reality: Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile have largely sunk their tower infrastructure costs. The marginal cost of adding one more subscriber to an existing network is close to zero. Yet retail pricing for cellular service providers averages $60-80/month. The math doesn't reflect underlying costs — it reflects market power and consumer inertia. Where MVNOs expose the economics: MVNOs lease wholesale capacity from the big three and resell at dramatically lower margins. Same towers, same spectrum, same coverage. The only difference is QCI priority levels — postpaid gets slightly higher priority during peak congestion. For everyday use this is largely imperceptible. When you pay $65/month to Verizon you...

Ask HN: When do you expect ChatGPT moment in robotics? 3 by p1esk | 2 comments on Hacker News. Current humanoid robotic assistants are in early stage - somewhere around GPT2 level - they're starting to perform very simple, very narrow tasks, but stumble a lot, and still cannot do much. However, I've been tracking the progress in the last couple of years, and I feel that GPT3 level might already be happening, and some startups demonstrate impressive things (e.g. look up Generalist AI or Physical Intelligence). Plus the funding all these startups are getting should allow them to scale their methods 10x-100x of what has been tried so far. I'm not sure any additional research breakthroughs are actually needed to make the leap to usable products. Therefore, we might soon see a ChatGPT moment in robotics - a commercial availability a physical robot that will be capable of performing useful tasks: cooking, cleaning, simple repairs, yard work, elderly care, etc. Just like ChatGP...

Ask HN: How will most Anthropic customers respond to the threats by the govt? 3 by Poomba | 2 comments on Hacker News. Now that Trump/the administration has designater Anthropic a supply chainrisk and threatened every company that uses them, how do u think most companies that use Anthropic/Claude would respond? Anthropic only has ~100 customers in federally focused industries (ie defense) [1] but it seems Trump is not just targeting “pure” federal contractors/agencies but anyone doing business with the govt. so that obviously includes a huge chunk of tech companies like Crowdstrike, Asana, Salesforce, Hubspot etc [2] and even non-tech companies And how is the govt going to enforce companies to not use Anthropic? Are they going to audit the internal tool usage of thousands of companies? What if individual developers pay for Claude Code personally? What if a company uses Azure or AWS Bedrock which routes to Claude? How would they handle those “edge cases”? [1] According to Bloomberry ...

Ask HN: How to approach new people in 2026? 3 by tavro | 3 comments on Hacker News. i recently read an article in the guardian about how casual conversations with strangers are becoming increasingly rare. the piece argued that smartphones and post-pandemic habits have made people less likely to interact with strangers in everyday places. this made me think about my own situation. i have been fortunate to meet many great people through university and work, and i generally feel comfortable talking with people in those environments. but outside of structured settings it is a different story. i live in sweden, where approaching strangers in public is already culturally uncommon. it can feel even harder if you did not grow up here and do not already have established social circles. public spaces often feel socially “closed”. people are polite but tend to keep to themselves. so i am curious how others approach this today. how do you meet new people outside of work or school in 2026? do yo...

Aura-State: Formally Verified LLM State Machine Compiler 2 by rohanmunshi08 | 0 comments on Hacker News. I noticed a pattern: every LLM framework today lets the AI manage state and do math. Then we wonder why pipelines hallucinate numbers and break at 3 AM. I took a different approach and built Aura-State, an open-source Python framework that compiles LLM workflows into formally verified state machines. Instead of hoping the AI figures it out, I brought in real algorithms from hardware verification and statistical learning: CTL Model Checking: the same technique used to verify flight control systems, now applied to LLM workflow graphs. Proves safety properties before execution. Z3 Theorem Prover: every LLM extraction gets formally proven against business constraints. If the total ≠ price × quantity, Z3 catches it with a counterexample. Conformal Prediction: distribution-free 95% confidence intervals on every extracted field. Not just "the LLM said $450k" but "95% CI: ...
