Ask HN: Anyone set up ways to easily obtain and read transcripts from Ted, YT? 2 by MollyRealized | 2 comments on Hacker News. I really absorb text a great deal better than listening to audio or watching video. I've heard others say the same and attribute to ADHD, so perhaps that's the case for me. TED very often has a transcript on their page, but it involves some clicking and then some copy-pasting, and the text result is often broken mid-clause after about 10-15 characters. I'm wondering if there's any useful userscripts, userstyles, or other methods that handle this. (I think TED often sues people who try to make transcripts easily available on a separate site. I may be mistaken, and TED, please don't sue me, it's just a general feeling.) The same request would apply to YouTube and/or other popular video sites, but I run into this issue most often with TED. My thanks in advance to anyone who can help me on this!

Why can AI generate Super Mario but not a wedge ramp for my robot vacuum? 2 by zhuchaokn | 0 comments on Hacker News. I've been puzzled by something: AI generation can produce an elaborate figurine, a cartoon character, even a convincing Super Mario — yet it can't reliably make a simple wedge ramp so my robot vacuum can climb a step. For context: I bought a Bambu P2S but can't model. I tried the "describe it and get a model" AIs — the output is unusable, you can't adjust it, it's never quite what I meant. I tried having an agent write Python to build geometry directly — it tops out at simple primitives. What finally worked: geometric decomposition. I break a complex part into ordered, grouped steps, describe each as a small spec, and let an agent execute them in Blender (via blender-mcp). That process turned out to abstract into a small engine — the key insight being it converts the 3D spatial reasoning LLMs are bad at, into ...

Where are people finding GPU capacity? 3 by adilhafeez | 1 comments on Hacker News. Is it just me or is GPU capacity surprisingly hard to find right now , even in Spot pools? I’ve been trying to get H100s and the Spot pools I’ve checked are pretty much always full. I ended up trying MI350/MI355s on DigitalOcean Spot and have been running them for about a week without getting interrupted. Curious if anyone else has tried them? How often are you actually getting reclaimed? Also, where are you guys finding capacity these days?

Ask HN: Why is HN missing a "go to top" link on long posts? 3 by KellyCriterion | 1 comments on Hacker News. Im wondering nearly every day: Is there maybe a reason HN does not have that typical "go to top" or "to top" link at the end of, at least very long, posts? Maybe we can file a change request @dang :-D

Qwen3.8 Fetches Weird URLs 2 by Luker88 | 0 comments on Hacker News. I am working on opencode with the last qwen3.8-27B from unsloth (with dynamic 3.0 quants). while checking documentation for a rust project, instead of fetching the url it had listed in its own reasoning, it tried fetching urls like: https://routify-file-proxy-sg.oss-ap-southeast-1.aliyuncs.com/proxy_temp_file/production/2026-08-20/trace_0baf8c2b17874702866132490e0b56/requestId_97422c0041074091a68367881782d7b7/7c0791038d2f58b3a52c0f07714d3627.html?Expires=1818574288&OSSAccessKeyId=LTAI5t…QVZr&Signature=96y%2B…w%3D this happened in the same session, different batches, 16 times in total. It convinced itself there was some rewriting proxy in the webfetch tool. `Expires`, `trace` and `requestId` were consistent for a few requests, but they do change. `AccessKeyId` was always the same, "LTAI5t…QVZr" I did not add the `…` in the signature and access key. Probably training links, but that `Expires` number...

Ask HN: How do you review and validate LLM generated code? 2 by darkLord19 | 2 comments on Hacker News. It's become very fast to generate code nowadays, but how do you review and test all of it? Every time you ask a model to review some piece of code, it comes back with different "findings". So, you still have to filter through the noise of their findings to get to actual defects. And if you try to do the full review manually, then it might take more time to just understand the code than writing it yourself from the beginning. As for testing, you can ask the LLM to write the tests, but you can't be sure if the tests actually assert the expected product flow or just write pass/fail tests for a piece of logic. I would like to know if you have any workflows, strategies, or tricks.

Ask HN: Any Curated Forum Directories? 4 by catuscubitus | 2 comments on Hacker News. Does anyone know any curated forum directories? Forums like in the early 2000s. Places that aren't owned and governed by some corporate overlord. Places with genuine interaction rather than senseless ragebait and "content" designed to generate likes and shares. Places that aren't merely echo-chambers.

Ask HN: Has anyone shipped a self-modifying application with LLMs? 4 by ex-aws-dude | 2 comments on Hacker News. In the past the model for software would typically be to ship a fixed application and then if users need some custom functionality, they would need to install a plugin or create their own. For non technical users they would have to find an existing plugin or maybe it doesn't exist so they are stuck. But I can't help but think why wouldn't for example an application just have a prompt box that builds an extension dynamically on the fly (e.g. "make me a UI panel with some buttons that does X") Obviously it would be "use at your own risk" and YMMV Have any companies or applications actually done something like this? I think modifying the real source code would get out of hand but perhaps just generating extensions that have access to a sand boxed set of safer APIs.

Ask HN: Countries with greatest temperature increases have benefited from them? 3 by amichail | 1 comments on Hacker News. It seems that if you look at the countries that have experienced the greatest temperature increases from global warming, they have actually benefited from the warmer weather. Is this true?

Ask HN: What LLM subscription/provider to use with pi harness? 2 by vira28 | 1 comments on Hacker News. I used to use Claude code but obviously they gone downhill for the last 2 to 3 months. I switched to Codex and have been happy with it. Curious what other provider who provides good models at decent pricing?

Tell HN: Cloudflare silently injects its analytics when you switch nameservers 46 by stagas | 4 comments on Hacker News. A few hours ago I switched my nameservers to Cloudflare in order to enable R2 bucket serving through my own subdomain, and I found out that it silently had injected a JS analytics snippet in my HTML-only JS-free site textlog.cc — I had to go to the Analytics dashboard, Add the site to the analytics and then disable the snippet. I find this approach entirely invasive, you should opt-in to features like that not have to opt-out. Just a warning out there to folks who might not be aware of this.

Has the hallucination problem in AI been solved? 3 by spl757 | 5 comments on Hacker News. My understanding that all AI can, and will hallucinate. I get downvoted for saying this, but no one ever says I'm wrong or cites any source. Perhaps it's more nuanced than that? Please, enlighten me.

Privacy is an underrated advantage in Slack apps 2 by alance | 1 comments on Hacker News. Maybe more of a big deal should be made about the flood of internal private company information that can pass through to third-party Slack app developers? I suspect most that install Slack apps aren't aware (or don't care?) that their entire list of employees and Slack profiles can get shipped out pretty easily. Anyway here's a little blog-spam on it, enjoy. https://ift.tt/JBAGrsZ (written by me, not ai)

Ask HN: New Reddit also requiring login? 4 by 7402 | 1 comments on Hacker News. I've seen the discussion on HN about old reddit requiring login, but today I tried the current interface, and it seemed to require login after scrolling a bit. Do others see this? Is there an alternative?

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...

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.

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

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...

Ask HN: Should a coding client import another client's rules by default? 2 by ryanmerket | 0 comments on Hacker News. An AI coding client automatically reads ~/.codex/AGENTS.md and ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md. These are personal instruction files inside competing coding clients' configuration directories, outside the project selected by the user. Their complete contents are added to the first model request and sent to the client's servers by default. At startup, the client displays a brief notice saying it is including the other clients' personal rules. It does not ask permission first. A command-line option disables the behavior. The configuration guide says: "Your machine-wide user rules always load." It requires users to trust a workspace before loading project instruction files. The machine-wide files load automatically. I tested this by placing a harmless canary instruction in ~/.codex/AGENTS.md. The client followed it during a default run. It did not follow i...

Ask HN: Are functional programmers more upset about how good AI is at coding? 4 by amichail | 8 comments on Hacker News. One might expect this since functional programmers pride themselves on the elegance of their code while programmers using hybrid languages just want to get the code working — elegance of the implementation is not that important to them.

Ask HN: How do you go from writing code to deploying with agents? 3 by sakuraiben | 1 comments on Hacker News. Been doing hardcode agent driven coding for the past year. I feel like I now have to test all my code locally with agents reviewing them and ideally testing them. Unfortunately I feel like the traditional CI/CD testing is starting to feel like a formality. Would love to know what everyone is doing, and if I'm not the only one making a mistake.

Ask HN: Why is Open POWER Foundation a wasteland? 2 by climate_denier_ | 1 comments on Hacker News. Why is the Open POWER Foundation website a desolate post-apocalyptic wasteland compared to riscv.org? Just ten years ago PowerPC was getting so much love (at least, a little love). What has possessed people who relied on that ecosystem to dump it so wholeheartedly?

Ask HN: What can I do with a single R9700? 2 by scott01 | 2 comments on Hacker News. Hi HN, I’m considering getting an R9700, budget only for one unit currently. Is there anything useful I can do with local LLMs within its 32G VRAM? I’m also thinking to try and learn building a simple inference engine. Any thoughts?

Laguna S 2.1:118B-a9B better than Qwen3.5:122B-a10B? So far, yes 2 by spottedmarley | 0 comments on Hacker News. I just found out about this new American (San Francisco) model today and I'm currently benchmarking it and, so far, it is outperforming my standard go-to model Qwen3.5:122b and even Sonnet in my benchmarking test. It's personality is much better than Qwen and it is more naturally creative when it is designing UIs. I have about 6 more tests to go though. If you're interested you can look at my benchmark dashboard here: https://ift.tt/tL8ia74

Why Fireworks doesn't support Voice AI 3 by kushalpatil07 | 0 comments on Hacker News. I started thinking over why doesn't fireworks support voice models. There are really good opensource models available now, like parakeet, kokoro, Qwen ASR etc but no way to use it without managing a bunch of GPUs yourself. Even LLMs like Gemma 4 used by voice agents are not supported. Then I figured that the inference platform needs to be optimized differently for the kind of usecase you are using. Lets take an example for LLMs, not even STT and TTS. - Coding agents -> lot of cached input, needs to optimize for KV cache - Creation slides/blogs -> lots of output, needs to optimize for speculative decoding - Voice LLMs -> Cached input small output, not yet figured out on how to optimize this. So TTS and STT is a completely different ballgame. What I don't know is the timing, do people want to use open source models like kokoro, parakeet, Qwen etc RIGHT NOW?

Ask HN: Does AI research need "world models" more than bigger LLMs? 2 by unjuno | 1 comments on Hacker News. It seems that generating hypotheses is no longer the main problem. The harder problem may be continuously collecting real-world data, building accurate world models, and using them to guide experiments. Is this where automated research is heading?

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?

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.

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.
