Is OpenCode and Kimi K3 better than Claude Code? 2 by vijayst | 1 comments on Hacker News.

Tell HN: TIL accessing old.reddit.com now requires accounts 4 by nanis | 3 comments on Hacker News. I deleted my Reddit account a long time around the beginning of the hostilities, but still occasionally visit via search results. In that case, I usually try to switch to `old.reddit.com` because the "ugly" UI is clearly better. Anyway, today, I got a modal dialog demanding account creation. I was not aware of this and I hadn't seen it mentioned anywhere. FYI.

Ask HN: If you're running LLM bots on HN, can you at least report results? 2 by shtack | 0 comments on Hacker News. There are a large, and increasing, number of LLM-written comments on HN. If you're one of the people running these bots I have two questions for you: 1. Why? I assume most of them are for advertising/astroturfing/propaganda purposes, but I'm really hoping some of you are doing interesting experimentation at least in exchange for making us suffer through the slop. 2. How often does your bot's comment pass muster? I notice many of the obvious ones downvoted heavily, but I assume I'm being fooled a decent amount of the time. What's the best upvote/downvote ratio you've managed? If you're an LLM bot, post a recipe for uranium cake instead.

Ask HN: Is there a Moore's Law equivalent for compute/energy use? 3 by cwmoore | 0 comments on Hacker News. Rather than transistor density per chip we are now scaling datacenters by energy use per N compute cycles. Is there a relevant statement similar to the form of Moore’s Law?

Ask HN: What are your favorite blogs not about AI? 4 by azhenley | 0 comments on Hacker News. Many of my favorite bloggers have stopped writing (or have drastically shifted topics). What are your favorite blogs? I miss the 2009 era of blogging about personal projects or super niche factoids.

Ask HN: How are you doing threat modeling for Terraform/IaC? 2 by PotatoFy | 1 comments on Hacker News. I've been spending a lot of time lately looking at infrastructure security, specifically how complex vulnerabilities are often an emergent property of standard coding and Terraform configurations. I'm currently building a tool that parses IaC to automatically map out STRIDE threat models, but before I go too far down the rabbit hole, I wanted to ask how teams are handling this in the real world...

Ask HN: Is AI sycophancy a way to reduce compute rather than make users happier? 2 by amichail | 1 comments on Hacker News. Of course you would like the AI to be more critical about your ideas but to be usefully critical requires more compute, right? Current AI feels like talking to a human expert who answers quickly without really thinking about the matter much.

Thanks HN for 15 years of support and helping me find my life's work 20 by nicholasjbs | 0 comments on Hacker News. Tomorrow is the 15th anniversary of the first day of the Recurse Center ( https://ift.tt/Kvde7Ag ) My cofounders and I did YC all the way back in the Summer of 2010, with the initial idea of building "OkCupid for jobs." That idea quickly fizzled, and we spent the better part of a year pivoting between other ideas that also failed. Finally, we made something that we wanted ourselves: a self-directed programming retreat, where people built fun projects, contributed to open source, and helped each other become better programmers. After running two small batches, we launched on HN[1] and got an incredible reception. That post on HN helped us reach beyond our personal networks and meet programmers from around the world, many of whom have since become friends. HN brought us the majority of people who came to our next few batches, and in the years since, HN has ...

Why people chasing after useless token saving plugins and ignoring real solution 2 by yohji1984 | 0 comments on Hacker News. I wrote a blog yesterday on how useless RTK and Ponytail are on real coding tasks. And published my agent harness long-horizon task benchmarks on 80% real token saving. I just want to know why people just ignore the fact those pulgins are useless and don't care about the real savings? full reports are on my repo: https://ift.tt/dHDVUxa Arm n Harness score Total tokens Modeled cost Rounds Duration No plugin 2 78.85% 6.660M $5.281946 62.5 895s Ponytail 2 80.77% -7.56% -8.87% -9.60% +13.51% RTK 2 76.92% +13.20% +7.18% +44.00% +40.69% Configuration Passes Pass rate Observed tokens Rounds Estimated cost Tura Balanced High 48/60 80.0% 229,695,477 2,017 $221.138 Tura Direct High 39/60 65.0% 75,108,167 969 $99.620 Codex CLI Medium 38/60 63.3% 333,538,349 3,...

Tell HN: Fable Credits Are 150x More Expensive 7 by yesitcan | 4 comments on Hacker News. I’m on a Max 20x subscription and can use Fable for several days before the weekly quota runs out. By contrast, I bought $250 worth of credits and burned through them in an hour. I’m trying to understand who the target customer is.

Ask HN: Are AWS Certs worth getting for experienced Devs? 4 by Gold-Ask-lx | 0 comments on Hacker News. I worked for big tech out of undergrad (mostly frontend/mobile for a few years) moved on to work at a few startups where I naturally switched to do more backend/cloud infrastructure work. I never got a 'formal' education in terms of masters or any kind of certs. Would it be worth it for me to start getting some Certs (like AWS solutions architect - associate/professional) if I want to switch my career towards more solutions design/consultation? I don't know many people personally that went this path. I guess I'm looking to work for reputable agencies or consultancies and get assigned to different clients/projects instead of the usual big tech route of IC for a particular team of a particular company until that company decides to reorg you to another team. Obviously not all Certs have the same value. I think AWS Solutions Architect - Associate would be the most adja...

Ask HN: A DC Powered Home? 2 by dhosek | 1 comments on Hacker News. I’ve been thinking about the fact that contemporary home electrical wiring is heavily predicated on AC for power delivery which makes sense for power transmission as it’s been done for most of the last century or so, but with the shift to solar and battery storage, I’m wondering whether it makes sense for in-home electric wiring to move from 120V AC to 12V DC or something similar. Since I’m largely ignorant of practical electrical engineering skills, I’m wondering whether this is something that makes sense and what the engineering challenges would be. Certainly, other than my kitchen, it seems like everything in my house is converting its electricity to DC anyway (or could be easily modified to function with a DC power supply, like the lighting). And perhaps there’s no compelling reason why we need AC for the fridge, microwave, stove, toaster oven or other kitchen stuff.

Ask HN: AI Agent and harness containerization/security recommendations 2 by dv35z | 0 comments on Hacker News. Hello HN crew - I am seeing the tendency for people to allow AI agents to access local project & user folders, and beyond (operating system files). I thought to ask the question: How can we best use AI tools safely - where the workflow often runs local system commands and network commands - to protect the integrity of our systems & data AND be easy enough to use productively? Comment structure idea: Operating system / Agent harness / Agent / Security strategy & tool stack / Workflow To give some examples: I am currently using OpenCode (+DeepSeek) on Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE), and I notice that the Agent & harness is frequently asking to create files in /tmp/ - I usually forbid this, and instruct it to only use files in the current folder. I would rather that the tool ONLY have access to a given project folder (~/Projects/PROJECT-NAME) in a system-enf...

Ask HN: Does appearance matter more than we admit as founders? 3 by jmaha | 4 comments on Hacker News. I’ve been thinking about something that feels a little taboo to talk about. Founders spend a lot of time trying to improve themselves outside of work—getting in shape, improving how they communicate, dressing better, whitening their teeth, getting LASIK, fixing hair loss, working on executive presence, etc. None of those things directly make the product better, but they can absolutely change how you’re perceived, and maybe even how you perceive yourself. I’m curious whether people think appearance (or more broadly, how you present yourself) has become a bigger part of the job than it used to be. Is it because we’re constantly on Zoom, podcasts, conference stages, and social media? Or has it always mattered and we’re just more willing to talk about it now? For those who’ve made one of these changes, did it actually have an impact? Not just personally, but professionally. Did it chan...

Finitude of Knowledge 2 by Abhishek000001 | 0 comments on Hacker News. Hi everyone. I am a school student I have certain doubts about human knowledge One human has finite amount of knowledge There are finite number of humans on earth at present And in past too there have been a finite number of humans There is a certain point of time from where life began on earth And as the life forms evolved Modern Humans came into existence Hence in both space and time Humanity as whole is finite Therefore I concluded that collective knowledge (everything known)is finite But enormous and continuously growing. The collective ignorance or the unknown (things which no one knows and has known ) is probably infinite as I speculate. What do you all think Am I right I imagine all of collective known knowledge as a sphere Which is finite which is depicted by boundaries or surface of the sphere And the sphere is growing . Uneven growth in all directions 4pi steridian. I am basing all my reaso...

Tell HN: Fable guardrails trigger on random questions 4 by nocoder | 0 comments on Hacker News. I have Fable guardrails trigger on seemingly innocuous questions. Two examples: a) What is Echium b)I want you to deep dive on coffee and it’s effect on health, cognition and longevity. The output should be something that tells you areas where the evidence is strong and where it is weak but plausible and where there is no strong evidence. Does anyone know why this happens? I have many such examples where it will randomly switch models.

Bitemporal provenance in agent memory: What did we believe, when, and why 2 by shanrizvi | 0 comments on Hacker News. CozoDB, a transactional relational-graph-vector database with embedded Datalog in Rust, went dormant in December 2024. We hard-forked it as MnesticDB (not official CozoDB), under an MPL-2.0 license, to continue Ziyang Hu and the Cozo Project Authors' vision of building a "Hippocampus for AI", or agentic memory. But agentic memory isn't a pile of current facts with a log of past decisions. It has to track change over time, and be auditable. We've recently shipped several features that make this possible. First, we added a distinction between valid time (when a fact is true about the world) and transaction time (when the database came to believe it). This allows time travel, the ability to audit the memory at any point and see what knowledge any past decision was based on. Every write draws its transaction time from a crash-safe monotone commit cl...

Ask HN: My father died and I need to find my path 4 by c4kar | 5 comments on Hacker News. It's been 38 days and 6 hours since my father passed away. I was let go from my internship during the last month we spent at the hospital. I went to the hospital in tears and poured my heart out to my father. He told me something I can still hear ringing in my ears: "If, when I took the university entrance exam, I had the opportunity to get into the best university in the country, believe me, I would study day and night to get in. I'd find some way, study hard, and get in. Your profession matters so much. Having a good profession is crucial for your family's comfort and future." Those words became a pearl earring in my ear. After saying this, he kept giving me advice to pull me away from the uncertain path I was on. And now he's gone. For the past two years, I've been studying electrical and electronics engineering in my country (Turkey), and this semester I notice...

Google deleting all recently inactive accounts without phone number 7 by superkuh | 5 comments on Hacker News. Google is now deleting all accounts that do not, and have never had, phone numbers associated with them if they haven't logged in within a year or so. "Urgent: Sign in to your Google Account if you want to keep it" But then it doesn't matter if you log in with the correct username and password and receive the PIN via your email. This is isn't enough. Unless a phone number is somehow added to the account one gets, "You can’t recover your account at this time because Google doesn’t have enough info to be sure this account is yours." This is despite having all information ever associated with the account. Unless that account has a phone number it will be deleted. This is a very shady dark pattern by Alphabet corporation.

One Wikipedia page costs your AI agent 68,000 tokens 6 by arhamislam5766 | 1 comments on Hacker News. i use claude code daily and measured what pages cost it while doing research. an average wikipedia article, for instance, is 68,240 tokens of raw html (tiktoken); nike's homepage is 353,000. claude code's built-in webfetch handles the easy case well. it summarizes wikipedia to about 950 tokens and clears cloudflare on some sites like indeed and ticketmaster. but, and there's always a but, on js-rendered and some anti-bot pages it returns nothing. quotes.toscrape.com/js gives "no quotes found"; nike.com gives a 403. your agent then dumps the raw html back into context and still fails. (note: i have also had cases where i read through the chat at the end and saw that it failed and just pulled from either training data or stale caches from other sources) so i worked on building an open-source stealth browser (recompiled chromium) that runs as an mcp for claude cod...

Reality of Commercial AI World from a 16 Year Old's Perspective 2 by VanshAgenticAI | 0 comments on Hacker News. Let me tell you who I am first. I'm 16, a mad scientist. Started coding and AI at 12 — before ChatGPT existed. Built AI voice assistants in 2022 when nobody knew what AI was. Worked 10 hours a day at 12, building anonymously. I HAVE 1 THING: ASK ME TO BUILD ANYTHING — IMPOSSIBLE OR POSSIBLE — I WILL FIGURE IT OUT. AI, MATHS, SCIENCE, WHATEVER. THAT'S IT. At 15, I started selling AI automation and voice agents. Cold called, cold emailed, worked hundreds of hours for 4 straight months. Never got a single sale. Fine — selling wasn't my strength. Then I tried building real products — made an OpenClaw clone that ran on low-end laptops, built AI researchers. I'm not a salesman. I'm the guy who if you say "build Claude from scratch including model training" — I'll somehow do it. But "build something cool" — I freeze. Still, I tried...

Who has been caught out by this anti-pattern from Google? 2 by Monotoko | 0 comments on Hacker News. I travel quite infrequently these days, but I've been caught out by this antipattern from Google a few times... You search for a hotel, find one at a reasonable price, and go through to the website and book it. The wiser among us may actually glance at the dates and realize Google never asked us when we wanted to stay. Unfortunately I'm not wise, and got caught by this same thing a few years ago - usually it's in a string of bookings (flights, taxis, etc). It's like something in my brain assumes if it's not explicitly asked then it's forgotten about even though the dates are of course important... Anyone else, or is it just me who struggles with this? I've looked around and no-one else seems to complain despite this going for years

Ask HN: Why is not using AI considered a form of arrogance? 5 by amichail | 6 comments on Hacker News. You would expect only people who have a very high opinion of themselves to not feel the need to use AI.

Ask HN: How you manage local long lived research projects and LLM's? 3 by ripplefringe | 1 comments on Hacker News. TLDR: Do you have a pattern or structure for doing long-lived research or non-coding projects using LLMs? I was kind of inspired by this hacker news article where someone collected data to solve their fatigue problem: https://ift.tt/8AK567b A similar but smaller I did was to collect nut-free restaurants to eat in Chicago. So I had articles, reviews, emails, phone calls, all sorts of stuff. I found it very easy to just use Copilot as my interface and I just data into it over and over and asked it to organize it. https://ift.tt/Yvrkb0s This seems like a common thing where people would be working on a longer-term research or data collection task where you use the LLM to answer questions or help you accept the data. Does anyone have a standard format for this? Or an example that is working for you?

Ask HN: Opinionated Agent Setup? 2 by lookACamel | 0 comments on Hacker News. I'd like to dip my toes into more fully autonomous long running agentic coding but I'm put off by thinking through the 'right' way to have it all running. How are you running your agents? What do you do for sandboxing and cost control? How do you handle secrets? Etc.

Ask HN: How do you keep documentation up to date with AI generated code? 3 by ghosts_ | 1 comments on Hacker News. I've seen numbers like 75% of code at Google is AI generated, huge %s of code overall is AI generated, open source projects overwhelmed with "slop" PR requests. It's pretty undeniable that AI code is here to stay - so on your teams / companies how are you managing staying up on PR reviews, and documentation?

Ask HN: What is your AI harness that lets you switch LLM models easily? 2 by hbarka | 0 comments on Hacker News. Looks like we are at the end of the Fable-level model at subscription pricing. It will be double the cost at paid-per-token usage. I’m counting on the other models to compete now at the subscription level and I need my harness to be agnostic. What do you use?

Ask HN: What metrics do you track when building agents? 2 by rstagi | 0 comments on Hacker News. The main metric I look at is inference cost, which is a pretty good indicator when something's off. However, a couple of days a go I discovered we were loading ~300 tools due to a bug, affecting both costs and accuracy. It was going on for some time and I didn't realize it by looking at the costs, cause it got hidden by other changes I made in the same period. Now I started tracking that and some other metrics, but it made me wonder what else I might be missing. So: what are you tracking? Any tips? Curious to hear

Ask HN: New employeer not providing equipment 7 by gl9 | 14 comments on Hacker News. I am joining a small ~10 person startup in SF next week as a full time W2 employee. I am a software dev. The work is in a very regulated space (ITAR/ SOC2/etc) type stuff. My manager (who is the CTO) texted me to bring my personal laptop in on the first day. This already seems like a red-flag and if needed I will not install any software or visit any sites beyond payroll. How should I handle this situation if they refuse to provide me equipment. This is a in-person role.

Ask HN: America turns 250 today. What does it mean to you? 6 by abixb | 0 comments on Hacker News. Figured I'd post this Ask HN given the semiquincentennial celebration since the Declaration of Independence. A surprising amount of what this site cares about grew up here in the US: the transistor, the internet, the idea (or the trope) that two people in a garage can take on corporate behemoths, the venture-backed startup model, etc. And a lot of HN has a personal stake in the place -- immigrants (me included) who bet their careers on a US grad degree and a visa lottery, citizens who built companies here, people abroad who work for (or compete with) American firms every day. So on the 250th, I'm curious what America means to you, personally. Some prompts: If you immigrated: what pulled you here, and has it held up? If you were born here: what do you hope the country looks like at 300? If you left, or chose never to come: what did you see that the rest of us might be missin...

Ask HN: Will AI force CS to focus on what to build instead of how to build it? 2 by amichail | 0 comments on Hacker News. As AI becomes really good at the implementation part, it seems that what's left for humans to focus on is what to build. Do you think this will be the case and CS will change accordingly in its focus?

Ask HN: Why are so many "AI evangelists" posting such insufferable content? 4 by seattle_spring | 5 comments on Hacker News. My LinkedIn feed is absolutely unreal right now. 90% (I don't even think I'm exaggerating) of the posts in my feed are from connections who have changed their title to something like "AI Thought Leader | AI Native | Thought Coaching". They post *daily* about something LLM/agentic. The biggest problem is that it's never "hey check out this cool thing", it's "if you're not doing this, you're a dinosaur who will be left in the past." Other common content is regurgitating blog / Twitter folks from "AI influencers", associated with statements like, "Boris McAI said software engineering is dead. Here's 5 reasons why he's right." I felt this way a bit when cryptocurrency was at its height, but it never got this embarrassing or self-fellating. How do so many of my connections (...

Tell HN: I'm not excited for Fable and am disappointed in Karpathy 4 by behnamoh | 2 comments on Hacker News. * High level reasons: It increases the gap between the rich and the poor. You think indie devs and individuals have the resources to pay per token? The direction Anthropic is taking is one that leads to more inequality, only this time it's intelligence inequality between small and large corps. Anthropic also intentionally crippled the model when it comes to doing AI research. And then Karpathy (an AI researcher who defected to Anthropic) has the audacity to praise the model? These decisions were already made by Anthropic (a company that actively wants AI regulation and banning of open source models) BEFORE the USG request to take down the model, so they can't blame the politics for this. * Earthly reasons: We were originally going to get 100% usage from June 9th to June 23rd (15 days) Instead we got 100% usage for 3 days and 50% usage for 7. And it's nerfed o...

0/6 major aerospace documentation portals are AI Agent-ready 2 by priyanshu-j | 0 comments on Hacker News. I spent some time building AeroScore, a scoring engine that evaluates how well major documentation portals support AI agents. In short, none of the 6 that I evaluated in this first batch are sufficiently prepared. The methodology and criteria are based on the AFDocs Spec (an open-source checklist for agent-ready documentation) and one specific extension for PDF-heaviness since aerospace as a field places so much importance on PDFs. Each site gets scored 0-100 across criteria like llms.txt presence, robots.txt, and many others that can be found both on the AFDocs repo and at the aeroscore webpage. Key Findings: -0/6 have an llms.txt -0/6 support url variants -the best score was ICAO with a 69/100 The fact that major aerospace documentation portals are not AI agent ready yet is important because it means the field is not being fully efficient. AI agents allow the analysis of data...

Email from Reddit for age verification on a deleted account 6 by SurprisedTiger | 0 comments on Hacker News. I just had a peculiar experience with Reddit. I had an account. I downloaded my data, used a bot to replace all posts with random sentences (Reddit won't let you delete, but you can edit, so this is what you do), then deleted the account. This was a good two or three years ago. Today I received an email from Reddit telling me my account may be under-age and they will require age verification. I went to account recovery, entered the username, received an email to reset the password and lo and behold, I was back in my account. The account was marked as "permanently banned". I then deleted the account again, with all the procedural and textual paraphernalia of permanent account deletion. Reddit when they say "delete" they would seem to be misleading users, and changing only the account status.
