Agent Knowledge Needs More Than Just RAGhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45435169When people talk about “knowledge for agents,” it almost always collapses into RAG. But knowledge can, and should—be treated as a first-class runtime tool, not just a context filler.In most implementations, knowledge lives in a vector database. Agents query it through a search_knowledge tool, often hybrid (keyword + semantic) with re-ranking. That’s essentially “Agentic RAG,” and it works well enough for a lot of use cases.But once you think of knowledge as runtime-accessible memory, other patterns open up:1. Dynamic Instructions Most serious agent use cases can’t just dump all instructions into the system prompt. Take a Text2SQL agent: it needs table schemas, column names, data types, and common query templates. You don’t bake all that into the core prompt—you store it and let the agent query the relevant slice when needed.That’s dynamic instructions: system prompt as RAM, knowledge base as disk. Core logic in RAM, path-specific instructions pulled from disk at runtime.2. Adaptive LeaOct 1, 2025 7:13 AM

No usernames, no profiles, no feeds. Just two people talking.The goal is to create quiet, meaningful spaces in a noisy, performative internet.It’s live on iOS now. Still early — small user base, no monetization, just people talking.Happy to answer any questions or feedback.

Show HN: Outlier, a new daily word gamehttps://outlier.land/Hello HN,If you love daily word games like the Crossword, Connections, or Wordle, you might enjoy Outlier.The game explores relationships between words-- while RED is of course a color, it is also a baseball player in Cincinnati, a Taylor Swift album, and a River on the Texas border (to name a few).Ex:Super Mail Slender Aqua Sand Boogey Hail Hit GentleWhile Gentleman, Superman, and Hitman are all real words/concepts, Hailman is not. HAIL is the Outlier. The Outlier then becomes a member of the set for the following.The next round might then cover Meteoroligical Phenomena, or archaic greetings (Hail Caesar) or words to indicate where someone is from ("she hails from Ohio").Open to all feedback! Trying to decide if the current time penalty should be increased to encourage more methodical play. I'm also posting daily clues on IG @ outlier.land. Thanks!May 30, 2025 2:15 PM

Tasks Per Day – A minimalist productivity app that workshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44133072Built a Flutter app that limits you to 3 daily tasks. No feature bloat, no subscriptions, just focus on what matters. Born from a Reddit discussion about simple living.The ProblemMost productivity apps suffer from feature creep. They start simple but gradually add calendars, teams, AI assistants, notifications, analytics, and eventually become the very complexity they promised to solve. I was drowning in a 20-item daily to-do list when I found a Reddit thread in r/simpleliving discussing the "three tasks rule."The Solution3 Tasks Per Day does exactly what the name suggests. Each day, you choose three tasks that matter most. That's it.Core features:1. Plan 3 tasks per day (morning/afternoon/evening) 2. Optional calendar sync with device reminders 3.

When a Giant Sells You a Ghosthttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44050279In today’s tech-driven economy, high-performance computing systems are the beating heart of innovation — from life sciences to automotive AI. Yet behind the polished marketing campaigns of some major global suppliers, there lies a darker and more troubling reality.A small British innovation company recently found itself in an impossible position.They had entered into what appeared to be a promising deal with the UK subsidiary of a large US-based enterprise technology manufacturer — a household name. The agreement involved financing the acquisition of a specialised high-performance server, sold as new, state-of-the-art, and mission-ready.What they received was a system that, within days of installation, failed to operate as advertised. Investigations revealed indications that the equipment had been previously used, and internal communications suggested that even the supplier’s own staff were aware of problems.But here’s the true outrage: the financing contract — designed by the supplierMay 21, 2025 11:22 AM
