Tell HN: Yesterday I found out I have skin cancer23 days ago, this story https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43917855 was posted on HN. As a 43 year old, I enjoyed skimming the comments and relating to all the various things that start popping up as we get older.This comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43918368 however, just jumped off the screen at me:"My skin, with the help of the sun, has twice tried to -KILL- me."For whatever reason, that specific phrasing just stopped me in my tracks and stuck with me a few days. I even bookmarked it.I have lived in Southern California and now Arizona for close to twenty years, and like an idiot I've never taken sun protection seriously. I noticed some new spots on my face over the past few years, and just chalked it up to aging or dry skin from the desert climate. But after reading that comment and thinking about the possibility of those spots being out to murder me, I finally decided to visit the dermatologist for the first time in my life.The dermatologist took two biopsies and sent

Feedback on Tool I Created?Hey- I've been working on a minimalist tool called QuickPoint — it’s a minimal tool for quick text-first creation and sharing structured thoughtshttps://quickpoint.meBut rather than push a vision, I’m here to learn what people actually need. I built a rough prototype and are watching closely how (or if) people use it.I’d love your honest feedback: Please feel free to tinker about- and say whatever comes to mind. If you need to structure your feedback - I put some questions below. However- I'd rather just hear anything you have to say.Does it feel like it solves anything you’d do in real life? What’s your first instinct about what this tool is for? What’s good and what's missing or broken in the concept itself?Not trying to pitch- just trying to listen. Thanks in advance for any thoughts!

Show HN: GenOutfit – AI and scraping and fashion =personalized outfit generationI built a web app called GenOutfit that gives you outfit ideas tailored to your body type, style preferences, and whatever occasion you're dressing for.The idea came from a mix of personal frustration and observation. I like to dress decently, but honestly, sometimes I just can't picture how certain outfits would actually look on me. At the same time, I noticed my gf spends ages scrolling Pinterest and Instagram for outfit inspiration. That's when it kind of clicked, what if there was a way to see outfit ideas that look like they'd work for you?So I started with a spreadsheet , I listed out about 97 fashion influencer accounts and tagged each one by style (streetwear, casual, etc.), gender, and body type (athletic, plus-size, etc.). Then I scraped their Instagram content, images and captions and used AI to describe what each person was wearing in the pictures. Everything got stored in a database.Now, when someone uses the app, they just enter a few things like body type, skin tone, and

Tell HN: A realization I've had about working with AIs and building softwareOkay, here's my debrief.What I've realized is this: AI is an amplifier of what you are. It's not a substitute - it just reflects and scales whatever you bring to the table.When I was younger, I'd often just run at the wall and try to scale it fast. I'd throw a lot of code at the problem. Not out of carelessness - I was iterating quickly, looking for a working prototype that gave me feedback I could work with. Structure and architecture didn't matter to me as much - what I wanted was to hit the goal, the concept, the tangible result.And that actually worked. I built a lot of stuff that way.But I assumed AI would kind of "handle" the rest - that it would take care of the complexity, or clean things up. And what I've come to see is that AI just reflects your approach. If I'm in "throw code at the wall" mode, AI will just help me do that faster. Which can help. But it won't make the problem go away. It just accelerates whatever rhythm or method you're already in.If you're designing systems

Ask HN: Should I Price ItHi guys. New here. New founder too. I need some help figuring out how to price my product.. I'm not sure about the rules so I'll not post any of my product links or whatever.So I currently have a product that consists of a Chrome extension and a web platform. It allows my users to highlight any text on the internet, add notes and open LLM chats directly on-page linked to their highlights.My current features are:- highlight text (underline / background as a highlight style)- add notes to highlights- open LLM chats directly on-page- auto-scroll to highlights (works on LLM apps like Claude, ChatGPT, etc.)- auto-sync to their account so they can cross-browser itSo... what should I price it? What should the model even look like?? Some form of freemium, of course.. but what? Nr of highlights, notes & chats per day and then something like $7.99?Are the current features too few to price it? I guess to figure out if anyone wants to pay for this core functionality the features are just enough?An

Show HN: Kindredly.ai – a content-sharing tool for familiesHi HN,I built Kindredly.AI, a private content-management/sharing platform designed for families. It’s accessible as a browser extension so storing, organizing, and sharing content (links, notes, images, small videos, etc.) is about as easy as using bookmarks. It also includes parental controls for families with kids and a growing curated online library.Why I Built It:I wanted a lightweight way to save things I found interesting (like many of the things I’ve found here on HN) and sometimes share them with my family, including my young kids. Whatever the solution, I didn’t want to expose my kids to a constant stream of addictive content and ads.Most content-filtering solutions aren’t good enough—they don't flag "junk" as inappropriate, and most whitelist tools are a pain to maintain. After struggling to get a hodgepodge of apps working, I realized the world needs a tool that’s free and simple enough for a busy single parent to use.It should respect privacy and help parents raise thoughtf

Ask HN: Can We Contain an AI That Gives Coding Help?Let's say you create an AGI. (Yeah, I know, we don't know how to define it or test for it. That's not the point.)And let's say that you worry about containing it so that it doesn't take over the world. (Perhaps reasonably.)But let's say you're using it the way we use AI right now, to help people code. It generates code for people, which they then run, not in the contained environment. You don't have a contained AI any more, do you? Especially if its training data included things like, say, APT techniques and examples, and code obfuscation techniques.I mean, we worry about it hacking a human - persuading a human to relax the firewall rules, or whatever. But letting it generate code that we will run is far more of a security hole, isn't it?Am I all wet here?

Software Architecture Draft with Request Duplicator and FailoverI am looking for opinions on my approach on this architecture draft. Please read carefully and until the end, and don't forget to see the diagram link at the end of this post.For context, I am building the BEAM Devs app for the Elixir, Erlang and Gleam community, and instead of building tech debt from day one to ship faster, I want to start with a solid base skeleton that enables me to progressively build a resilient and robust architecture from the start. It's much easier to begin this way than to add it as an afterthought.In my first two UK roles, software architecture always included a failover system, an independent, exact copy of production running in another cloud or on-premises datacenter. This differs from redundancy within the same provider via availability zones or whatever other approach.In this approach, the switch from production to the failover happens by manually switching the IP for the server in the DNS, which has a very short TTL. In the case the cloud provider is hav

Ask HN: How does my ISP know I am making a WhatsApp call?The MNO Econet Wireless in Zimbabwe has what are termed social media data bundles, these data bundles only work on say Twitter, WhatsApp, Instagram, etc. When you purchase say the WhatsApp bundle, you get assigned some MBs of data that only works on WhatsApp. You can text, view statuses (even video statuses), download/upload media, etc. However, you cannot make call (either voice or video calls).If you initiate a call, the call goes through, it will ring for the other person but as soon as they answer, your WhatsApp will be stuck on the "connecting" screen. The same is true for the reverse i.e. if someone else calls you, you get stuck with a "connecting" screen as soon as you answer.Aside from it being very annoying that my "240MB" of data is apparently unable to make a call on WhatsApp, I am generally curious how they might be doing this, the simplest explanation I have is they limit the bandwidth so much that a call cannot go through.Whatever method they are using to do it, I imagine

Show HN: Liquid Budget – A zero-sum envelope budgeting applicationHello hackers, I built Liquid Budget, a budgeting application as an alternative to YNAB. The core concept is that every dollar is allocated to digital envelopes, and as daily transactions occur you spend from your envelopes and manage overdrafts, almost as if you had micro bank accounts.Tech stack: - Frontend: React/TypeScript with Zustand for state and Shadcn/Radix components - Backend: Java/Spring Boot/MySQLI built this primarily for users who wanted a cheaper alternative to YNAB with a guarantee of no price increases. Along the way I improved on a number of things such as credit card handling, but the main catch is that there is no automatic bank import for transactions. I understand that's a non-starter for many, but not all people.I'd love any feedback on: - Additional features and UX suggestions - Useful reports to addAnd whatever else!

Ask HN: Is widespread use of non-commercial datasets an open secret in startups?I'm asking outside of language models. Aside from foundational models, I still see small companies with very specific goals, but even niche offshoots at bigger companies. One still needs data sets for performant, custom models. Collecting that data can be a hindrance, but some companies succeed anyway, with no appearance of data collection efforts. This is true for language, vision, etc.I suspect that many of these are bootstrapped with pretrained models, many of which surprisingly do have non-commercial licenses or were trained with non-commercially licensed data sets.So is it an open secret that companies just suck up whatever they can get their hands on anyway? Perhaps the legal landscape is still so grey?

Show HN: A simple automated list of gadget deals with affiliate linksSearching for deals on tech stuff isn't so fun. Some sites are heavy on SEO chum and posting as many keyword-laden headlines as possible. Aggregator sites are flooded with whatever products the retailer APIs and feeds push out. I got fed up with all this while shopping online last weekend, so set about making what I'd hoped to find in the first place: a basic, somewhat-automated list of dealsIt's perfectly boring HTML with automatic price checks. There's no ads, no cookies, no signups, no writing for machines. The idea is to strike a balance between completeness and simplicity, so people can pick a decent deal without ado whenever they need one. The latest prices are fetched from Amazon, and links to the Wayback Machine are included so users can check for deceptive "yo-yo" deals.Another minimalist project of mine, txt.fyi, benefited hugely from feedback here way back when.I suppose the obvious shortcomings are:• further refinement might inevitably drag it toward more content (risk comp
