Ask HN: 1950's Chip industry undermined unions how is AI not doing the same?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49064165In the 1950s the Chip industry undermined minorities, immigrants, women and killed unions.In the 1960-70s it targeted black civil rights groups.Along the way, white men were pushed into management, while anything outside of business was split into smaller tasked jobs. This in return gave companies leverage to cut salaries.I don't care what altman says chatgpt did in a blackbox. I judge the world by what I see. Reality is, chat, claude, etc etc are about as useful as smart as the stupidest, slowest engineer on the team.On the other hand, introducing them has made the job appear more "streamline" more production line like. Work increased, and salaries flattened.Now that companies are not getting returns off of AI, they are cutting AI spending, but make no mistake. Salaries will not recover.What am I missing? How am I wrong?Would love opinions on this

Show HN: Cygnus – A fast, lightweight self-hostable serverless runtime and PaaShttps://cygnus.runI built Cygnus because of a long standing frustration with the compromises needed to be made when choosing a deployment option for web applications.The ecosystem is fragmented into a few distinct camps, each sacrificing user experience or runtime compatibility to balance isolation, startup latency, and their own profit margins.Docker: Heavier and slower because it has to supervise more than web apps. Paying overhead you don't need. MicroVM's: Good isolation, but huge maintenance surface area and substantial overhead. Great for untrusted code, overkill for your own apps. Workerd: Tries to dance around hardware isolation by enforcing an in-process V8 isolate model. Neutered runtime to prevent arbitrary syscall execution. Personally I still find the tradeoff worthwhile for their edge footprint, but I still find myself complaining about it from time to time. Vercel/Managed serverless: Delivers a great developer experience, uses microVM's which is good for compatibility but has a business m

Show HN: GlossaryPage – Turn customer questions into knowledge pageshttps://glossarypage.com/Hey HN, I built GlossaryPage after noticing companies have long-tail content opportunities that never get created because they fall between blog posts and documentation.The primary use case is marketing teams building glossaries and learning hubs around these topics. The same workflow also works for support teams creating help centers.GlossaryPage helps teams identify unanswered topics, generate drafts with AI, review content, and publish structured knowledge pages.Here is a demo site: https://glossary.glossarypage.comSome things I have been thinking about while building this:1. How to avoid creating more low-quality content?This is a challenge for anyone building AI content tools, and is something I'm working on. The product is focused on generating drafts, but users are responsible for reviewing and approving what gets published. My guess is that as AI systems improve at evaluating quality, there will be less value in publishing low-quality content.2. Why not just use an existing CMS

Show HN: Production duplex speech model for revenue callshttps://metavoice.io/Hi, HN, we’re building Mia & Leo: AI personalities backed by purpose-built duplex speech models for revenue calls.Teams building real-world agents told us that more than 40% of callers hang up within the first 30 seconds. On a revenue call, that meant a lost booking, an unpaid balance, a cold lead, or a customer who does not come back.This happens because humans interrupt, correct dates, pause halfway through a sentence, or speak over someone in the background. The agent misses it, talks over them, or loses the thread.That’s because of how the current voice systems work. They sequentially listen, stop, think, and then speak. The conversation is actually a walkie-talkie exchange.So, we’re proud to introduce our first iteration of Mia & Leo who keep listening while they speak. They can handle interruptions, overlapping speech, corrections, and background voices without breaking the conversation.They are also built for production. Developers get control over agent behaviour, visibility in

Show HN: Chrome Plugin to Scan HN Page Quickly. (Categorize with Local Model)https://github.com/prabhic/hn-quick-scanRecently I started spending more time reading HN posts, and engaging. Wanted to scan HN pages faster ,that rosonates to me.For me it is easy to grasp if they are in the order of software stack (Hardware, System, Infrastructure, apps, and so on ).Built this chrome plugin that uses Gemini model, to classify. It works but, classification still not great. It is built using claude code cli.on my Mac book pro, Gemini nano model loading takes around 11 seconds, and classification it self takes around 5 seconds. (if sub classification enabled it adds 6 more seconds approx). Model loaded in background thread. And unloads, if not used after 30 seconds. I would say still not pretty usable, without optimized classification time, but it works, to experiment with.

Show HN: Imagerry – client-side image customizer and converter (WASM / WebGPU)https://imagerry.com/Hi HN! I built Imagerry (https://imagerry.com), a freemium, 100% client-side image converter and utility suite.### What it does till today:- 100% Client-Side: Zero file uploads, all processing happens locally using HTML5 Canvas & WebAssembly, though gpu is heavy on desktop apps. - Format Conversions & Resizing: PNG, WebP, AVIF, JPEG, SVG with high-quality Lanczos scaling (`pica`). - Utility Tools: Code Snippet Beautifier, App Icon Studio, Social OG Card Generator, and Passport Photo Arranger. - Cross-platform: Available as a PWA and desktop app (Electron).### Some Suggestions and tradeoff's for adding ?? :)I’m considering adding *local AI models* (such as in-browser AI image upscalers or background removers using ONNX Runtime Web / WebGPU) - by desktop apps preferable only.Since Imagerry focuses on privacy and zero cloud uploads, running models locally in the browser feels like a natural fit, but it comes with a *20MB–50MB initial model or even more depending on local model's download

Show HN: PMG, open source package firewallhttps://github.com/safedep/pmgHi HNI am the founder of SafeDep. We have been detecting malicious packages for a while. Coming from DevSecOps background, I always considered malicious package detection & protection to be a build stage problem. But I was wrong since the S1ngularity and early Shai-Hulud days.In 2026, we pretty much started worrying more about our own dev machines than CI/CD environment. Depending only on threat intelligence data (OSV / SafeDep / Socket / any other source) to protect our own dev machines did not feel right. We wanted to build a multi-layered protection that can get 100% visibility of OSS packages coming in, and can protect against known and “hopefully” unknown threats. That’s how Package Manager Guard (PMG) started. Core idea was simple:- Start a local proxy (localhost)- Make sure supported package managers like npm, pnpm, pip etc. goes through it- Use threat intelligence data to fail fast on known malicious packages- Apply policies like dependency cooldown as additional guardrails- Ad

Show HN: An MCP server that turns async-work practices into toolshttps://github.com/open-and-async/mcpMore than a decade ago, I adopted the self-imposed rule, if I answer a question more than once, the third time I need to be able to answer with a URL. Today, I published one very large URL - a book distilling what I learned from helping people work remotely at GitHub, and I wanted to rethink my rule for the age of AI.What if, instead of a URL, I could create an interactive experience that could tailor the guidance to your particular situation?What I ended up building was an Open and Async Advisor MCP server. To install (in claude or any other AI):> claude mcp add open-async -- npx -y @open-and-async/mcpTransparently, yes, it's from a book I wrote which launched today, but the MCP server is open source and free to use. No purchase required. It knows the key principles of the book, and has specialized tools like `draft_decision_doc`, `convert_meeting_to_async`, `score_status_update`, `triage_sync_vs_async`.This is an experiment for me, and I'm genuinely curious if it's helpful for others

Show HN: A chess game you play with Claude as your wing-bot in the CLIhttps://github.com/goawaygeek/ground-controlHey HN!Wanted to show off a thing I built in case it interests anyone.I wanted to build a game you play inside the claude code CLI and back when they launched the channels feature I started investigating ways to use that to do so. I started with a multiplayer comedy battle game where you would collaborate with Claude to write jokes based on a theme in a timeframe and then post them to an audience and compete against other folks (with the audience voting for the funniest joke), it was OK but I didn't have anyone to really test it with so I moved on. My son has been learning chess so instead I tweaked it to let you play chess with Claude suggesting three possible move options for you to choose from and submit as your move (you choose what you actually want to do not Claude). It was much more fun and allowed me to actually learn a thing or two about chess (my chess isn't great, it didn't need to do much to help me learn but I could go back and forth with it on why a certain move was bette
