Ask HN: Would you take your engineering team to Buenos Aires for an offsite?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47726018Hey HN,I’m doing some market research on the logistics and viability of hosting corporate tech offsites in Buenos Aires, Argentina.With the shift to remote/distributed work, annual or bi-annual company retreats have become the main way teams build rapport. We see a lot of teams going to Mexico City, Lisbon, or Costa Rica, but I'm looking closely at Buenos Aires (as I live there).Timezone: Favorable for the US (EST +1 or +2) and easier for EU overlap.Cost: Highly favorable exchange rate makes luxury/premium experiences much more affordable.Culture: World-class food, infrastructure, and a strong local tech ecosystem.However, the flight time from the US West Coast or parts of Europe is significantly longer than going to Mexico or Portugal.I’d love to hear from founders, CTOs, and engineering managers who have planned or attended company retreats:1. Has your team done an offsite in LATAM? If so, where, and how did you choose the location?2. Is flight duration the ultimate dealbreaker? Woul

Ask HN: Negotiating Intern Payhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47722975Hi HN. I signed an internship offer with an MBB firm for ~60$/hr + a sizable signing bonus (for the internship).A friend of mine at a unicorn startup got them to open up an internship role last minute and had me fast tracked through the process. An SVP is directly hiring me onto their team for a summer internship. However, pay would be around ~40$/hr with no bonus.Is it possible to negotiate pay to match my existing offer? Wisdom for internship pay is that interns don't have leverage, and normally I wouldn't: I'm getting an objectively massive bump in terms of experience (nontechnical MBB to technical unicorn). However, the pay over the summer is significant (net ~40% paycut) and I feel like I have some leverage with how the hiring team has been prioritizing signing me this late into the game.I'd be jumping for joy to get this technical internship normally, but I haven't showed my hand so far to the recruiting team and have been playing it slow.

Valence and HYVE, RT Physics Attention and a "Synthetic Organism"https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47721720I'm a solo hobbyist (with no formal AI background). Who built this over 3 months of nights/weekends with two frontier models as co-pilots.*VALENCE* replaces quadratic transformer attention with a 3D spatial lattice on GPU ray-tracing cores (Vulkan RT + BVH). Semantic retrieval is literal ray firing through geometry. The lattice has thermodynamic-style interactions. Biggest part is it aims for O(log n) attention, bucking the traditional O(N^2) or O(N) attentions of modern AI.*HYVE/NEXUS* turns it into a colonial organism: 39 metacognitive inner states driven by cross-ball tension physics. Unsupervised dreaming engine forges novel associations in idle time. Persistent engrams + relational tethers survive full power cycles and prompt stripping. the "Synthetic Organism" in the title is referring to how all the parts converge; but also how authentic it can be at times.The “self” lives in the physics substrate, not a hidden prompt.Grew out of earlier moonshots (BEMNA galaxy-scale spatial nav

Show HN: Direction – a 4-week course for people afraid of shipping AI slophttps://www.givedirection.com/https://www.givedirection.com/Every week on HN there's a valid thread about vibe coding producing unmaintainable garbage, or someone who built something with Claude over a weekend and can't explain how it works or fix it when it breaks. The gap I keep seeing is that people can't define their problem, don't scope their work, and rarely have exit conditions to test against such that they avoid these. This set of steps is arguably the most important thing you can do if you want something (software or otherwise) that lasts.Direction runs monthly cohort-based courses where small groups go from idea to shipped MVP in four weeks. Cohorts are 30-40 people max, and instructors (mostly myself with some help from my friends) are people who have built and shipped real things, and we teach how to use AI as an assistive tool not your whole personality. Every project has a defined exit condition before anyone asks their tools to produce anything.Every student presents what they built on demo day. Gra

Show HN: BNNR – a closed-loop pipeline for improving vision modelshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47719542Hi HN,we’ve been working on computer vision models for a while, and one thing kept coming up: improving them is surprisingly unstructured.You train a model, try a few augmentations, tweak some hyperparameters, run it again - and if the metric goes up, you keep it. But it’s often unclear why it improved, or whether the model is actually learning something better.We kept running into questions like:- Did this change actually help, or is it just noise?- Is the model focusing on the right features?- Are we improving generalization, or just overfitting differently?So we built BNNR (Bulletproof Neural Network Recipe) - an open-source PyTorch toolkit that turns model improvement into a closed loop:- Train a controlled baseline- Explain what the model actually learned (via XAI methods like OptiCAM / GradCAM)- Improve by testing candidate strategies in parallel- Prove the result with structured comparisonsOne thing we focused on is avoiding “blind” changes. Instead of committing to a single ide

Ask HN: Will we ever do something about patent trolls?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47718079Some of you may have seen a project like Mycroft AI (nothing to do with LLMs!) from back in around 2017 or so, it was an open source Alexa alternative, even had skills and everything. I kept wondering why it quietly disappeared, and the repo was archived.

Show HN: Lingle – Voice agent to simulate zoom-based personal language lessonshttps://lingle.ai/In my opinion the best way to learn a language (outside of moving to a different country) is to get a personal tutor and have consistent 1 on 1 lessons. I used Preply or iTalki for this back in the day but had issues with flexibility and pricing.I've been trying to simulate the experiences that I had on those platforms with a voice agent.You can try a demo for free here (or watch a video of me using it on the landing page):https://lingle.ai/tryout/lingle-showcaseRight now the agent can plan a lesson with visuals and a conversation focus, guides the user through the lesson - correcting and explaining things on a whiteboard if necessary, and asks relatively engaging questions. There is also a long term user model that builds over time, that maintains memory of the user's produced vocabulary, grammar, and skills, meant to make each lesson informed by the past and build on the user's knowledge (obviously this is still relatively fragile in practice).The voice agent itself has actually dece

Mythos, Glasswing, and the hardware disclosure problem nobody is discussinghttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47708711Coverage of Anthropic's Claude Mythos Preview and Project Glasswing has focused almost entirely on software vulnerabilities. That is where the demos are and where controlled release maps cleanly onto existing disclosure practice. I have not seen anyone engage with the next obvious question: what happens when a Mythos-class model is given detailed hardware architecture documentation and asked to do a security-oriented review? My intuition is the hardware case is meaningfully worse, for reasons beyond "hardware is harder."The tight feedback loop that makes Mythos effective on software partially breaks on hardware: no sandbox, no instant PoC iteration. But this is actually where an LLM could shine. Fusing disparate technical sources is what these models are unusually good at, and hardware security is bottlenecked by how few humans can hold all the context in their heads at once. Spectre, Meltdown, Downfall, Zenbleed, and LVI were all found by tiny teams of specialists. A model that can ti

Show HN: Job-focused lists of product companies using Go, Rust, Scala, Elixirhttps://readytotouch.com/A couple of years ago, after seeing more and more posts about how long job searches had become, I asked myself: what can I do now, while I still have a job, to make my future job search easier?That question led me to start maintaining a list of product companies using Go in production and actively hiring engineers. Over time, I expanded it with additional lists for Rust, Scala, Elixir, and Clojure. All lists are updated weekly.Each company profile includes links to Careers, GitHub, Glassdoor, Levels.fyi, and a LinkedIn search for current and former employees. I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments on whether these links are actually useful in practice, and what might be missing. As a fallback, each profile also includes a "Google it" button.The core idea is to create a single entry point that supports multiple job search paths: applying directly through company Careers pages while building LinkedIn connections in parallel.Instead of only chasing open positions, the goal is to h

Show HN: Noxscan.io 65K Port and Vuln scanner with LLM false-positive filteringhttps://noxscan.io/Hi HN.We built NoxScan as a side product to solve our own problem.Backstory: we're SOC 2 compliant, which means we have to run continuous vulnerability scanning on our own infrastructure. We were paying €700/mo to a well known scanner for 50+ IPs. For that money we got full port coverage, but scans ran once a month on top of basic Nmap. No service enrichment, no smart filtering. Just raw output that we had to triage by hand. Their cheaper tiers were worse: capped at the top 1,000 ports.What we actually wanted was three things: full 65,535 port coverage, daily scans instead of monthly, and output that a human didn't have to hand filter. That combination didn't seem to exist at a price that made sense for our size, so we started building it ourselves. After running it internally for a while we realized other small SOC 2 and ISO 27001 shops almost certainly have the same pain, so here we are.We started with masscan. It's the obvious choice for sweeping 65K ports across a lot of hosts. It'

AI for Small and Medium Businesses. Tadviser Conference Reporthttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47702474There were two companies with different approaches to integrating AI enterprise-wide: from bottom to top and from top to bottom. The first company (tom-tailor.ru) uses a "digital ecosystem" approach to prevent "hyper-automation." Many small services are used to empower people. A common data bus integrates them, but the main focus is on independence and people. They work closely with marketplaces and monitor trends and competitors. This is how they achieve flexibility. They take 1.5 months to check if a process is successful.Second (government corporation unirusgroup.ru) uses the motto: “Competence center” is not a “development center.” A competence center serves as a hub for expertise and training, and is used as the primary place to adopt AI. This center gathers experts from across the enterprise and integrates their knowledge in the center. The center has a robust sandbox for developing and using AI modules. This allows them to scale and share AI knowledge and avoid silos in technica

Can a non – coder build a high tech product?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47701941I’ve been thinking about this seriously.A few years ago, building something like a platform where users can create their own agents, workflows, or even a no-code builder itself would have required a strong engineering team. Today, the landscape feels very different.So the question is simple:Can a non-coder realistically build a high-tech product now? Not a landing page, but something foundational — like an agent platform or a no-code tool itself?My current understanding:You don’t need to code everything anymore — you need to architect. Tools exist for backend logic, UI, databases, and even AI orchestration. The bottleneck has shifted from “writing code” → to “knowing what to build and how systems connect.”But I’m unsure where the ceiling is.For example:Can a non-coder stitch together APIs, LLMs, and automation tools to create something defensible? Or will they always hit a wall where real engineering becomes unavoidable? Is “no-code building a no-code platform” actually viable, or just
