Tlbic: A shared prompt for humanity and the future of ASIhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48534205Hello everyone,I’m sharing the 6th edition of the TLBIC (Time-Limited Local Basic Income Credit) proposal. In this version, I added a foundational “question”—a prompt addressed both to us as humans and to the AI systems that may eventually evolve toward ASI. If, in your own work or conversations with AI, you ever find a moment where such a question feels meaningful, I would be glad if it proves useful. My hope is simply that something in this document resonates with you or sparks reflection. As a reminder to myself, I intend to continue this project without rushing—remaining steady, sincere, and careful in each step. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Show HN: Morning Stack finds real job openings, tweaks resume and cover letterhttps://morningstack.app/demo/Job hunting sucks. That grind of digging through LinkedIn and Indeed, sifting through endless spammy emails from headhunters who try to get the biggest possible audience, clicking "Quick Apply" to silent response, and trying to figure out which of all of these jobs are even real. My wife hit all of this when she started job hunting a few months ago, so I built her a tool to take the worst part of it off her plate. It turned into this. Oh, and she got an offer letter from a major company in just shy of two and a half weeks. Now, she loves her job.Morning Stack runs overnight. While my users sleep it works through the big job boards (and some niche ones), and then it tries to disprove every listing before it trusts one.Is the job even real? - It opens the posting in a real browser (Playwright) and checks. There's no API scraping and we don't login to anything. Then, we resolve back to the company's own ATS page so you can apply directly to them. If it can't find it, the job is dropped.Do

I built a bookkeeping app for UK sole traders as a new developer using AIhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48527480About a month ago I started building QuarterPerfect — a bookkeeping tool aimed at UK sole traders and landlords, specifically designed around the MTD ITSA changes coming into effect this year (first quarterly deadline: 7 August).A bit of background on me firstly.I'm not a senior developer. My previous project was a small roster app that converted an XLSX shift rota into a calendar with annual leave support — mostly built for me and a few colleagues at work. Nothing with real users, nothing with payments or compliance requirements. QuarterPerfect is a significant step up from that.QuarterPerfect offers users bank statement import (CSV and PDF), transaction categorization with receipt matching, merchant rules for auto-categorizing recurring transactions, and a read-only accountant share link so clients can hand off clean records without chasing. It's web-first with a mobile app in testing.The technical side was challenging but learnable. The harder thing was building in a domain I have n

Story of How Im Running an Unlimited $6/Month AI Provider on 4x RTX 3090shttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48524387This submission is a tale about how I launched an unlimited LLM provider to about 60 hyped people on the waitlist, then immediately served them a fully dysfunctional death-loop model, and how most people, very reasonably, disappeared, but thanks to a few extremely nice people stuck around anyway, we kept the project alive and its still pretty chaotic but gaining traction.To back up a little bit-- I believe that the whole point of AI agents is that they should keep working. They should read files, retry, search, code, summarize, run tools, and loop until the job is done. When your employer is paying for it, who cares about cost, but when it comes to my personal money/hobbies, if every loop feels like a tiny financial event, you start babysitting the agent instead of using it, and its not fun.On the other hand, metered pricing makes me worry about using too much. Usage subscriptions make me feel like I need to use every last magical % or I'm are "wasting it". If only an unlimited provide

Ask HN: What happens when AI-voice becomes good enough?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48507696I fell into the rabbit hole of TTS models lately. Tried all major paid tools (ElevenLabs/InWorld/etc.), and all the newest open-source models.I started asking myself: what happens when the voice is "solved"? E.g. it gets impossible to distinguish it from a human. Wanted to hear your opinions!Sketched some of my own thoughts, and I see two futures:Future 1: the nuanced versionAudiobooks: I think established authors will still prefer human narrators. If you can afford a $3k–$4k fixed cost for narration, a good human voice is usually worth it. TTS may even push human narration prices down, making that choice easier.But for new/self-published authors, especially in non-fiction, AI narration may become the default. The choice is often not “AI vs. human narrator,” but “AI audiobook vs. no audiobook.” There will be backlash, but I think people will partly get used to it.The more interesting threat may be AI readers. If I can buy an ebook for $8–$10 and have it narrated in a voice/style I like

Launch HN: BitBoard (YC P25) – Analytics Workspace for Agentshttps://bitboard.work/We’re Connor and Ambar from BitBoard (https://bitboard.work). BitBoard is an agentic analytics workspace. We give you the infrastructure and visualization layer to analyze data with AI.Today, we’re launching dashboards that you and your agents can work on together. You can connect your coding agent or AI chat to BitBoard and build live reporting. Here’s a demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPl0K565a7c.AI tools treat data analysis as ephemeral, making it hard to report or collaborate. Legacy BI tools weren’t intended for AI users, so they bolt on chatbots and can’t offer meaningful control to your agents. Software can now make far more of a business legible than BI ever could, but neither legacy BI nor chat bots are built to handle it.Our original product was AI agents for administrative tasks in healthcare (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44237769), but customers kept pulling us toward their data analysis problems: queries scattered across disparate sources, spreadsheets floati

AI: Equalizer or Divider?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48484306There is a saying “God made men, but Samuel Colt made them equal.” AI sometimes can have similar effect. In one enterprise system I’ve seen, the gap between people using a tool 40 hours a week and those using it 2 hours a week nearly disappeared after AI agents were introduced. I have also seen the gap between a 10x developer and an average one shrink after everyone got generous Cursor subscriptions.At the same time, recent public reporting on Anthropic’s Claude Fable 5 and Mythos-class models suggests that the most capable systems may be rolled out through limited-access programs or premium channels rather than broadly and evenly.Throughout history, who could afford access to the best technology of the time often shaped who got to govern. In ancient Greece, hoplites were ordinary free citizens who funded their own gear, tying military service to civic participation. Similarly, colonial American militias embedded armed service into everyday community life. By contrast, the prohibitive

Show HN: Meadow Notes – extract and publish microsites from your Markdown graphshttps://meadow-notes.comSometimes I wonder if my life would be better if I'd never bumped into Andy Matuschak's ideas. But I did, and basically got one-shotted by his concept of "evergreen notes", which are notes that are similar to well-factored code. They're small, conceptual, and densely-linked.They're also really hard to share with people, because those links form a complex graph that goes all over the place. You could share individual notes, but since the notes are small and have a lot of links there's not a lot of utility in sharing single notes. You could share all of them, but who in their right mind would want to share _all_ their notes.I found myself wanting to share little groups of notes with different sets of people reasonably often. None of the existing publishing tools I encountered supported automatic curation where it would suggest a candidate graph that I could then modify. Also, none were geared towards publishing lots of little sites.I've spent about a year part-time developing the project

Show HN: Vocast – Turn articles into self-hosted podcast feeds using local TTShttps://github.com/cnrmurphy/vocastHi all,I wanted a way to listen to articles in my reading queue while out for a walk or just generally away from the computer. There are apps that can do this already, but I didn't want to pay for one and I thought it seemed simple enough to build myself. So, I built Vocast - a cli tool using local TTS to convert articles to audio and expose them as a podcast RSS feed. You can subscribe using your existing podcast app (Apple Podcasts has worked well for me).Currently it uses Kokoro for TTS which I chose because it seems to be a good compromise between quality and speed. Generated audio files are stored in a local library and the cli provides commands to add, list, and delete those files. I use Tailscale to expose the local web server to my mobile device. I've provided instructions on how to do so in the README.So far it's worked well for turning articles into something I can listen to while away from the desk so I'm pretty happy with the result. There are still cases where article form

Show HN: Sencho: a multi-node Docker-compose managerhttps://github.com/Studio-Saelix/senchoHi HN, I am the creator of Sencho (https://github.com/Studio-Saelix/sencho). It's a self-hosted docker-compose control plane for managing one server or a small fleet of hosts from a single interface.Here's some the core architectural decision i built it around:- compose files and .env files stay on the host filesystem. It operates on them but does not replace them as the source of truth. - each node uses its local Docker socket. There's no exposing Docker's TCP socket over the network. - remote hosts can be connected directly via a distributed API mode or through an outbound-only Pilot Agent for hosts behind NAT or stricter firewalls. - multi-node management is not an afterthought.It supports stack deployment and updates, Git-backed stacks, webhooks, rollback, logs, container and resource management, image scanning, backups, scheduled operations, fleet views, RBAC, SSO, and other operational tooling that I found myself wanting while managing compose environments.This is 100% docker-com

Show HN: Typol – Static typing layer for Polarshttps://github.com/pdtpartners/typolHello! Wanted to share Typol, a thin static typing layer around Polars that lets you enforce columnar schemas. We've been hesitant in the past to go with dataframes for processing reporting data, especially with Pandas, due to the long-term maintainability burden of tooling not understanding the data we're processing, or the library itself. Polars is well typed and encourages constructing shapes up rather than modifying in-place, so adding schema typing to it seemed like a natural extension. If Polars DataFrames are dicts, then Typol's are TypedDicts.With Typol, it's easy to define your schemas, which should feel familiar if you're moving from dataclass-style code or from Polars' own schemas, and then build well-typed Polars expressions on these that enforce: (1) valid columns are referenced, (2) column values are used in a valid way for their type, and (3) expressions generate target valid columns in resulting schemas with the correct type. class Account(tp.Shape): name = tp.dimension

Ask HN: Who here still codes without AI, and why?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48432990As someone who loves coding (uses vim, and has done so for ~10 years),but also is amazed by AI coding tools and has embraced them recently (e.g. copilot then claude code then codex),I'm curious, who out there is still not using any of these tools? And if not, why?I feel it's become as common-place as autocomplete, or intellisense. Though I remember people used to hate those too.I guess AI is like the modern day intellisense + docs targeted for exactly what you're doing, always (maybe that + an intern that never sleeps)
