Ask HN: Is anyone else feeling bad about Reddit's mechanismsHello, I recently encountered a slew of events that didn't quite sit right with me and I needed to get this off my chest. Note that this is NOT an appeal to get un-infracted. I just feel really unhappy and I need to talk about it in relation to the question in the title.For context, Reddit encourages use of alts/alternative accounts, which is baked into its own app UX (same device alt switching).#### Incident 1 Slightly under a year ago, r/Glowups had a rule where all accounts who have previously commented on a NSFW subreddit get permanently banned from the sub, of which you can find multiple supporting references:https://imgur.com/xzaosHR source: https://www.reddit.com/r/unfairbanning/comments/1nmn0u6/banned_from_glowups_because_i_have_nsfw_content/https://imgur.com/Wm2S9xY source: https://www.reddit.com/r/acotar/comments/1gczet6/comment/ltywbum/https://imgur.com/Uy4P6Rp source: https://www.reddit.com/r/RandomThoughts/comments/1mauak8/comment/n5hhl2k/At the time (2025) this was a site

Show HN: An incremental build cache for Rust on GHAHi HN,I'm Kyle, the creator of Clipper, a container registry with 7x faster builds via lazy pulls and cache mount exports. In the process of implementing cache mount exports I ended up with a FUSE mounted filesystem backed by a remote content defined store. I went looking for fun things to do with it and found that there's not really a good way to keep Rust incremental build state around on ephemeral runners, so here we are.Rust generally uses https://github.com/mozilla/sccache for caching, but sccache disables itself when incremental compilation is enabled (https://github.com/mozilla/sccache/issues/236) and it isn't on Mozilla's roadmap to fix.It unfortunately doesn't really work on stable Rust (which uses mtime to decide when files have changed, rather than file contents), but maybe once https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/14136 is stable it will be useful to someone.

Show HN: 3-line calendar for Apple Watch – free, open source, no sign-inI had a pain point with my watch, so I built something to address it.A watch should do one thing well, and today it doesn't: help me avoid missing my next meeting/event. That's it. Fashion and decoration are secondary. Even knowing what time it is is secondary. The original reason for a watch is to get to the next thing on time.And this wasn't really possible before smartwatches, since you couldn't connect the calendar. But now you can. Android Wear solved this a long time ago. For some reason, on Apple Watch I can't find a good native first-party or third-party option that simply shows the next few items on your screen.There's a one-line version built in, and I found a few third-party apps with a 3-line calendar. But most of them either ask you to pay, make you sign in, harvest your data, or trick you into some in-app purchase. I understand developers need to eat — so do I. But it's one thing to be transparent about it, and another to hide it.I'm sick and tired of that nonsense, so I

I reverse-engineered the three biggest agent-memory toolsI spent weeks reading about how Cognee, Graphiti, and Neo4j's `agent-memory` build their agent memory architectures. They converged on the same heavy knowledge-graph design: an ontology, LLM extraction pipelines, deduplication, the works.I really wanted to use them for my personal use case, but that looks like such a heavy setup that adds a lot of friction and silos. Plus, it feels like I just get my data trapped in their service, for not a ton of value.That's why my "long-term memory" still lives in Obsidian, Readwise, and Google Drive, with per-project LLM wikis as the agent's memory. No infrastructure. And I'm fine with it.They ship memory as a product, which, in my opinion, at a personal or small scale, is overkill. You can build the same "knowledge graph" experience via plain old `.md` files within an LLM wiki memory.But still, graphs are strong, so I adapted the same architecture from the Cognee, Graphiti, and Neo4j `agent-memory` stacks to build a data-mining tool with just Mong

Ask HN: How do you do marketing in the age of slop?Hi dear hackernewsfolks, vocal contributors and lurkers alike.We (that is to say my business partner and I) are building SaaS products, but we are really struggling to find enough users. This is an age old problem, but I find it has gotten particular bad after LLMs made it trivially to make apps and services. Whether these products end up good or bad is mostly irrelevant, the end effect is the same: the market just seems so heavily saturated with new products, that it's incredibly hard to break through the constant drone of people vying for attention (the irony of me finding a way to do the same isn't lost on me).Even briefly mentioning what we are building in a comment on a "what are you working on" thread yesterday, had my inbox filled with AI outreach from questionable SEO, "How to optimize your product", "let me create a garbage video for you" style e-mails.My conclusion so far are: - e-mail outreach (and particularly cold outreach) really doesn't work, and I never found it quite e

Show HN: Digital De-Centralized InternshipI run a boutique investment bank, and every year I would receive 1 - 3 internship requests, but this year I received 50. I started to realize that Ai was replacing interns faster than any other worker because it was mostly administrative work.Internships really gave me invaluable experience, so I wanted to create a de-centralized internship with the first year content focused on a de-centralized Ai protocol called Bittensor (TAO). There are 8 weekly assignments which are scored and reviewed by Claude, with a final capstone video presentation which is presented to a human panel of people in the Bittensor ecosystem.All interns who complete the program receive a "proof of work" experience, and a scorecard which they can share.If you know any interns looking to learn about Ai, research, markets and for "work" experience. Please send them here: lab.cedarridge.capitalOpen to any and all feedback.

Show HN: Simulator for a custom 8-bit discreet logic computer5 years ago, I made a derivative of SAP-1 (mainly inspired by Ben Eater) on breadboard with few improvement and called it MSAP-1 (https://github.com/mehrantsi/MSAP-1) I made my own very primitive Assembly language and a simple Arduino programmer (https://github.com/mehrantsi/8-bit_CPU_Programmer) where I could load my programs onto MSAP-1 and even Debug them (https://github.com/mehrantsi/8-bit_CPU_Debugger).After that I started worked on the second version of it (https://github.com/mehrantsi/MSAP-2) by adding Stack, Interrupts and etc. with the goal of having a very primitive OS running on the second version, but changes in life meant I didn't have time to work on it as much, but I was progressing.Since 2 years ago, I had this little test of mine to see which one can understand MSAP-1, My own Assembly, the programs I wrote and ultimately if they would understand MSAP-2. none of the models could really understand the whole stack and initial models were quite bad at understanding hardwar

Show HN: Cascade Chat – A Hackable IRCv3 Client for macOS, Windows, and LinuxHello HN! I'm Matt and today I'd like to show you Cascade Chat.One of my earliest internet experiences was with mIRC. I always admired its straightforward, pleasant UI and the way it wove a hackable core into the code. The way you could build on the visual and API layers of the underlying IRC client to me was fascinating software machinery. It was truly a client that you could build on top of.As my career has progressed, I moved away from Windows and adopted Linux as my daily driver. That was where I found HexChat, the closest thing I could find to mIRC many years later. While I really enjoyed HexChat, it wasn't quite what mIRC offered. I eventually found myself on macOS with no clear analogue to either. That's why I built Cascade Chat.Cascade is a modern IRCv3 client. It supports persistent local history with full-text search, network management, replies, typing indicators, link previews, pinned messages, native notifications, SASL authentication, server-time, chathistory, account and

Show HN: Cruxible – Terraform-like ontology config to governed state for agentsGeneral-purpose text memory works well to represent information that can be plainly stated, rarely changes, and only needs to be recalled, but it leaves several structural problems unresolved:1) Generic memory does not establish settled state, it returns context. Text-based memory can preserve and present information, but a claim added to context is reinterpreted by a probabilistic LLM every time it runs. I found myself constantly asking my agents to re-check the validity of what was in my markdown wikis, especially for knowledge that has a natural lifecycle. Additionally, there's no uniform way of establishing provenance or attribution for a claim in text - relying on git commit messages doesn't feel like a good standard.2) An LLM can't do deterministic queries for relational information on its own, especially when relationships have to be constructed across a corpus. This really matters across sessions and for multi-agent workflows - even if one agent or session gets it right, if you

Anthropic banned my thirteen 20x accounts, what now?Firstly, FAFO, I get it.I was using 13 Claude Code 20x subscriptions. Fable on ultra code.First, yes it was excessive. Yes I was using ultra code for everything unnecessarily, just because I cbf and the cost/month was low for my business.With that out of the way, Anthropic rejected my ban appeal.It was all personal use, just me, doing stuff for my business, I have no employees.Regardless, appeal rejected, no reason given, and any account I create now gets instantly banned.I’ve tried using a VPN, and different credit cards, but my accounts get banned really quickly.The thing that’s unclear, is what exactly is banned? My company? Me personally? My billing address?Am I not allowed to create any new accounts? And what is it that makes them able to detect any new accounts.I suspect it’s my chrome profile or something like that, that’s the last thing I’ve been unwilling to change just due to the amount of effort in converting.Anyway, just looking for advice, I’m just wanting one working acco

Instead, they chose to become employees with deliberately ordinary titles.If this is not a biased view, what really explains it? Confidence in Anthropic’s leadership, It's research direction, equity ahead of a possible IPO, or somthing else?I’d especially like to hear from people who have considered joining a frontier lab after founding a company.

Show HN: I MitM'd Plex to make remote streaming suck lessI've been hoarding media for a long time. Longer than I care to think about honestly. At this point the collection is large enough that several of the friends and family members I've shared my Plex server with have cancelled their streaming service subscriptions.After getting laid off a while back, I started working on a degree online. It seemed like a good opportunity to spend some time traveling too, so I signed up for Starlink and got a friend to host my Plex server in his basement for the duration. Surely that would be good enough to watch whatever from where-ever.Turns out that no, it's not. Plex really doesn't like streaming over Starlink. It would top out at 8-9mbps in good conditions, often dropping down to 2 or 3, while other streams and downloads would happily hum along at 100mbps+.I spent a little time looking into the issue early on. None of the remote or server network changes I could think of made a noticable difference. Customizing Plex's internal MPV configuration to in

Show HN: OSS Web Based AI Video Studio (Vivijure)Hello Everyone!So I wanted to introduce everyone to an AGPL-3.0 OSS, free forever, AI Video Studio that I've been working on for the past few months called "Vivijure." Vivijure is a web based modular frontend that allows you to collaborate with AI to plan your videos, create images of your cast members and generate all the images for a full LoRA training set, and render your videos either on your own iron (LTX Video) or rent by the second serverless workers (Wan 2.2). It also has integration with several Cloud i2v providers through the interface and everything gets planned in a standard storyboard.json format. I've integrated Real-ESRGAN for video upscaling, MuseTalk for lip syncing your characters to their spoken lines, audio upscaling for speech (GPU based) and music (CPU based). The really cool thing that I've implemented for the design is it's not wasteful when it comes to your GPU spend, anything that can be done by a CPU only, Vivijure routes the job to one of its CPU worker pods

(This is NOT a promotion for it. In fact, I'm suspicious they're apart of what I've discovered.) Out of curiosity, I do on a rare occasion go to a channel's page and read their Description. As expected, this one has the atypical droll self-promotion.I wanted to find out more about them, so a typical Google search I did. Down the rabbit-hole we go...I had to do query:> `"Hook Global" -site:youtube.com`being they're a YT channel. My first search result showed a Linkedin item, which

Tell HN: I De-Googled MyselfI really enjoyed the old Google, the nerd Google, the "don’t be evil" Google... Google Reader, Android, GTalk, etc. It made communication with my friends much easier.I had already been moving everything away from the Google ecosystem for about two years, but Google Photos was the hardest part because it contained so many memories that I wouldn’t risk losing.The final straw was when I accidentally subscribed to Google One with AI, which costs much more than simple additional storage. It’s not that much money for me, but when I found out I couldn’t downgrade, it became a matter of principle to do a Google Takeout of my photos and create a script to import them into Apple Photos (which is also not a nice company, none of them really are) without losing metadata.I also moved them to Backblaze, where I have already had backups for more than five years, and to add even more redundancy, I backed them up to BorgBase using Borgmatic.De-Googled!

Show HN: Mojave Paint for macOS, edit images like it's 1999We all need a swiss army knife for images. A tool for really getting in there and dealing with the pixels precisely. You might be combining images into a sprite sheet, you might be matting images to squares, cutting out solid backgrounds, re-tinting graphical elements. For a website, a video game, for an app.There's a million photo editors, there's a million design tools, and Mojave Paint can do those things in varying degrees but "graphical asset production" is its first and primary mission.It's cheap! $9.99 (one-time, sad I even have to say that) for the "Pro" version. It's Mac-only, and Apple Silicon Mac at that. Does it look a little like Photoshop 5.5 from the year 1999? Maybe a little but also it's got plenty of its own original ideas. (Blog post on that is forthcoming…)I've always been passionate about image editing tools for the technically-minded so I'm throwing my hat in the ring in that space. And sure GIMP is for the technically-minded but boy is it ugly on the Mac!

Building a real-time AI tutor for 5-year-oldsHey HN! We've spent the good part of this past year building an AI tutor that teaches kids ages 4-9 reading, math, ESL and more. Getting an AI tutor to effectively teach a child turns out to be a really hard technical challenge, this took getting the underlying architecture right.Our tutor steers the UX in real-time and makes complex decisions on the fly. Doing both at conversation speed required us to replace the standard tool-use loop. We built our own tutor harness that utilizes a streaming interpreter that executes actions, while an asynchronous planner model reasons ahead of the conversation and makes calls that drive the child's learning. On top of it all, we developed a safety system that checks every turn without it causing an interruption to the activity and conversation flow.Effective teaching isn't just about answering a child's question quickly, rather making the right move at the right moment. AI is also going to be an integral part shaping how this generation of kids lear
