Ask HN: Agencies/MSPs, how do you manage VPN access across many clients?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47333997Hi HN,we're a software development agency with several clients scattered across Europe. Due to the nature of our products many require to connect to the client's VPN to offer assistance and perform maintenance. Most times we can't install our own VPN.This has led to some of our devs needing to manage more than 20 different VPNs, all with different clients (sometimes with incompatible versions, looking at you Fortinet), credentials, expirations, tokens and such. Some of those get unused for months, only to discover they're broken when you most need them to fix an outage in production. For us, it has become a mess.So the first question for you: Is this a fairly common problem or is this just us? If it is, did you solve it in any way? I've been looking for tools to streamline this but haven't found anything.That said, we’ve been exploring an idea for a while: basically a control layer on top of existing VPNs. A sort of virtualization framework where vpn clients run on containers managed b

The tiny lens antenna with big potentialhttps://www.esa.int/Enabling_Support/Space_Engineering_Technology/The_tiny_lens_antenna_with_big_potentialEvery day, we rely on satellite navigation – so much so that it has become a target for disruption. As our dependence on the technology grows, so do the risks associated with its interruption. Some antennas offer protection from the most common types of interference, but they are bulky and expensive to manufacture. A PhD researcher’s project explores an alternative: a football-sized, 3D-printed lens antenna that could provide resilience for satellite navigation while staying simple and cheap.

Show HN: Polymorph (YC W26) – AI personalization for consumer app engagementhttps://usepolymorph.com/hi! we're andrew, david, and manas, 3 engineers & ex-roommates. previously, we built things like meta’s self-serve ads platform, scale ai’s ml inference infra, and more.we’re building Polymorph, which uses AI to help consumer and self-serve apps send the right message at the right time, through the right channel, to maximize conversion.right now, if consumer apps want to send push notifications or emails to users, they have to write manual queries and build user segments themselves. even then, the message can only get so personalized.this sucks for both sides:1. end user gets content that's irrelevant or not helpful 2. builders annoy their users and then they churnPolymorph is bringing targeting tech that's already in big tech to everyone.in a few clicks, you could connect your existing analytics stack (PostHog, Datadog, Amplitude, etc), we then build per-user profiles that highlight when they're active, what features they like, and more, our AI agents then decide which channel and tim

AI is to software as power tools are to woodworkinghttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47329343Power 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 of tool for you to pick up, if you have the courage and heart to do so.

I Got Fired Because of AI – But I Still Think I'm the Engineer of the Futurehttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47328448Over the past few months I completely rebuilt my approach to software development.I used to write code myself. Now I strategically manage neural networks.Before, I spent time on architecture, reading documentation, and understanding other people's code. Now I spend my time choosing the right model and discussing on Twitter which one is the real game changer.I bought all the most expensive AI coding tool subscriptions. About $500 in total. Honestly, I feel sorry for people who haven't done this yet. I'm subscribed to all the founders of AI dev tools and read their posts religiously. If someone claims their product can replace a mid-level developer, I see it immediately. You have to stay ahead of the market.I used to worry when I didn't understand some complex part of the system. Now I usually don't understand what the neural networks wrote for me — but that's fine. I read on Twitter that reading and understanding code is becoming obsolete. Modern engineers don't need to understand code;

Ice to Fuel: NASA Tests Technology for Refueling Landershttps://www.nasa.gov/general/nasa-tests-lander-refueling-tech/The farther the destination, the more fuel a rocket needs. The more fuel the rocket carries, the heavier the spacecraft. The heavier the spacecraft, the more fuel it requires to launch. Experts at NASA’s Glenn Research Center in Cleveland are testing technology that could solve this problem. The CryoFILL (Cryogenic Fluid In-Situ Liquefaction for Landers) project could transform the way NASA fuels future space exploration missions, reducing costs and extending the duration of planetary surface operations. “If […]

A Methodological Critique of "First Proof" (Abouzaid et al., 2026)https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47326182Regarding: https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.05192IntroductionThe First Proof paper (Abouzaid et al., 2026) aims to evaluate AI capabilities through a set of research-level mathematical problems. While the mathematical content of the questions is not in dispute, the experimental design suffers from significant methodological gaps that undermine the authors' primary conclusions. Specifically, the paper conflates binary outcomes with processual states, lacks independent verification protocols, and exhibits an asymmetric approach to transparency. This review examines five core logical inconsistencies (Axioms I–V) where the study's rigorous mathematical standards appear to have been decoupled from its empirical methodology. (Link: https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.05192)Axiom I: One-shot experiments produce binary outcomes, not processual states.The design is strictly non-iterative. The state space is S = {0, 1} (correct/incorrect). The authors conclude that AI systems "struggle" — yet "struggle" denote

Show HN: AgentCash – access 280 paid APIs with no API keyshttps://agentcash.devHey HN - I'm Mason, and I'm excited to share AgentCash - a CLI to help your agent discover and pay for premium APIs and paywalled data.The problem we kept running into was simple: if you want an agent to use premium data or services, the setup flow is awful.You have to find the right provider, sign up manually, subscribe, generate an API key, install tooling, and then teach your agent how to use it. Then do that again for the next provider.We wanted a simpler model: give the agent a universal balance, let it discover available resources, and let it pay per call.So AgentCash gives agents one balance with access to 280+ paid APIs. It’s built on x402 [0,1] (the Coinbase/Cloudflare payments protocol) and designed to work with tools like Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, Cursor, etc.I also am really proud of our onboarding flow - we actually use AgentCash itself to research you and the decide how much free cash to give based on a score.The vision for this is to essentially give agents JIT conte

Show HN: Timelog – C-native, fast, in-memory LSM-style time index for Pythonhttps://github.com/VldChk/timelogI built *Timelog*, a Python library for time-indexed workloads with a C17 core and CPython bindings. My goal was to make [t1, t2) as first-class citizens and enable fast workloads under out-of-boundary semantics.- PyPI package: `timelog-lib` - Import: `from timelog import Timelog` - Model: in-memory, LSM-inspired layered index, timeseries queries as first-class citizens - Query semantics: half-open ranges `[t1, t2)`, snapshot-consistent reads, zero-copy views - Correctness focus: sequenced range deletes, so insert → delete → reinsert behaves correctly - Concurrency model: single writer, concurrent readers - Complexity: ~O(1) insert; O(log N + M) with bounded fanout range queries; ~O(log N) point lookup; O(C) deletion where C is number of overlapping active tombstones - Benchmarks: in C engnine-only benchmarks Timelog reaches 20M+ inserts/sec; ~1M/sec range scans.
