Launch HN: ProvenMetal (YC S26) delivers circuit boards in days instead of weekshttps://provenmetal.comHey HN, we’re Will & Johnny from ProvenMetal (https://provenmetal.com). You send us design files or specs and we give you assembled boards domestically in days.The US produced 30% of PCBs globally in 2000, now they produce 4%. Chinese manufacturers have completely dominated this space at 55% of global production.Now, the need for a domestic PCB supply chain is higher than ever before, yet the infrastructure has been dissolving over the last 2 decades. What is left is mostly small family run manufacturers (CMs) that have been operating in largely the same, labor intensive way since the early 2000’s.When you place an order through a CM it typically takes several days to receive a quote and complete design for manufacture review, and then you have to source all of the components (the hardest part) and bare boards yourself, then wait anywhere from a few days to several weeks for the assembly and testing of those boards.We started off assembling circuit boards out of a garage with prosumer

Value for Money Is All You Needhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48628090Value For Money is All You NeedA reflection on the future of token consumption in artificial intelligenceToken consumption now sits at the center of the growing use of artificial intelligence by businesses and individuals alike.The "TokenMaxxing" trapIn the early days, the trend was to maximize token consumption from proprietary LLMs, regardless of cost — a practice seen as a marker of performance for the user, the employee, or the company. This phenomenon, known as "TokenMaxxing," reportedly exhausted Uber's entire annual budget in under a year.Faced with the enormous financial cost this TokenMaxxing generated, many companies and individuals turned to lower-cost LLMs to preserve their budgets — fueling the rise of Chinese open-source LLMs such as DeepSeek, in line with Harvard professor Clayton Christensen's theory that disruptive innovation can conquer a market through low prices.Users thus found themselves facing a dilemma: choose a highly capable but token-expensive proprietary mod

I had almost forgotten about it.I wish to create a very minor website which can talk about all of these, I feel like there are some perverse incentives which make these companies show out the good and hide out the bad and our news cycle just keeps on moving and we all follow it.Also there can be some remarkable mentions as well which I wish to listHere are some other examples:OpenAI turning from non profit to open.Claude code software getting leaked (Anthropic)X/Grok generating non consensual deepfakes issue (XAI)OpenAI's deal with Military and backstabbing basically and now pushing for new laws.The graph thing by OpenAI being so horrendous which I mentioned earlier.Suchir balaji's death (I genuinely recommend searching this up if someone hasn't for context)Microsoft Co-pilot thingsAnthropic when detected that chinese models distill from them showed that they can view things sent in API and the

Show HN: Cranki – Crosswords meet Anki flashcardshttps://cranki.appHi HN!I am sure most of you have heard of Anki flashcards? Using spaced-repetition is one of the best ways to learn more vocabulary when learning a language.However, I find flashcards super boring. I've been playing some crossword games in my target language, Spanish, but I wished that I could use my custom list of words that I've come across instead of random words.That gave me the idea to create this mini-app. It's super simple. Add your words and you get unlimited crosswords with spaced-repetition! If you get a word right you won't see it for the next few days.Works with most languages (I doubt it works with Arabic or Chinese for example).You can add words one by one or import a CSV (just make sure to follow the columns: word, answer)It's a PWA, so you should be able to install it via your browser and it should work offline!There's still some bugs and QoL things to add but let me know what you think!

Show HN: CastReader – Free TTS Extension That Reads Kindle Cloud Readerhttps://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/castreader-tts-reader/foammmkhpbeladledijkdljlechlclpbEvery TTS browser extension fails on Kindle Cloud Reader. The reason: Amazon renders text using custom font subsets where glyph IDs don't map to standard Unicode. You select text, copy it, and get garbage. The DOM is useless. CastReader solves this by intercepting KindleModuleManager to capture font and token data, decoding glyph mappings from the binary font tables, then running Tesseract.js OCR locally in an offscreen document to calibrate the decoder. The final text comes from glyph decoding (not OCR) so it's accurate enough for word-level highlight sync. WeRead (the largest Chinese reading platform) has a similar problem — it renders everything on canvas. CastReader uses a main-world content script injected at document_start to intercept fetch responses containing chapter data before the page consumes them. For normal websites, there's a 3-tier extraction pipeline: 15+ site-specific extractors (Notion, Google Docs, ChatGPT, Claude, arXiv, etc.), a learned CSS selector rule system,
