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 thisJul 27, 2026 1:26 AM

We need to rethink tech stackhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49061251Let me start this with something we already know, AI is here, it may be controversial how it will operate open or closed but its not going anywhere.If you look at the current tech space, AI integrations and use and some very useful but some unnecessary AI implementations, you will realise that there are either many gaps in current understanding.Lets start on what i wanted to talk, first lets talk about AI, what is AI, not the defination, but actually is AI, it may not be the ultimate intelligence but have some intelligence or atleast we can say, it know certain well known patterns, its ability comes in various sizes, but essentially now we a black box with some knobs, which be a better solution than hard coded flows, logics and if its imagined well, it can be really really useful but there is a flaw.We being extremists, we either think of its going to taking all the jobs or its just useless, there is another way to approach it.Think of it as intelligence layer available to you, but curJul 26, 2026 7:01 PM

Show HN: Scanner for cellular automata rule spacehttps://kypaku.github.io/pages/ca2026/Many years ago I was interested in cellular automata, inspired by Stephen Wolfram's work. I dug into elementary CA and totalistic 3-state rules. But when I went to more states it was getting boring. Almost all of them are dead or chaotic or something that everybody has already seen. But somewhere inside there could be another 110, and nobody looked.Now that we have AI coding, I decided I can build something in that area, and an app for scanning rules was the obvious thing. I implemented an explorer with a bunch of filters: gliders, chaos, large structures, and custom search. The last one works backwards — you draw a pattern and a rule passes only if this pattern never occurs. I could not define "interesting", but it was easy to say what disqualifies a rule. It also renders diagrams as big PNG.Demo: https://kypaku.github.io/pages/ca2026/ Source: https://github.com/Kypaku/ca2026Jul 26, 2026 4:39 PM

Show HN: LLM-spend – Audit your OpenAI/Anthropic API spend locallyhttps://github.com/kliukovkin/llm-spendI build spend-pacing systems for ad auctions for a living, and my side-project agent workloads still kept surprising me with API bills I couldn't explain. When I asked around how people attribute LLM spend, the answers were the provider dashboard or a spreadsheet.llm-spend is a local CLI that pulls usage from the OpenAI/Anthropic reporting APIs, breaks spend down by key, model and project, projects end-of-month, and flags days that look abnormal against the same weekday's history. It also does a second, independent read of the provider's cost API and warns if the totals disagree by more than 1%. That check exists because I don't want to ship you a wrong report: it catches unit, pagination and grouping bugs in my own pipeline. It checks against the provider's cost API, not your invoice — credits, tax and non-API charges live elsewhere.Keys are the ugly part. OpenAI admin keys can be scoped down to read-only usage/cost access, but admin keys require a Team plan. Anthropic admin keys can'Jul 26, 2026 4:20 PM

ASK HN: Why has technology become so unreliable?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49056900Even though I'm a software engineer with long experience with serious projects, I'm become so disillusioned with the whole thing nowadays.Forget the ridiculous AI hype, forget about the lack of ethics and a moral compass; What's getting to me right now is the unreliability of it all. It seems like everything is held together with duct tape, and the tape is falling off.Just in the last few months, all these have happened:- My Macbook Air M1 has been acting up, refusing to charge in a stable manner. The audio jack is dead because apparently it is linked to the charging circuit. The screen sometimes shows a tint on a whim. Now it is dead and not charging at all. Granted, it has otherwise been a fine machine so far, and I've knocked it over a few times, but still. Even my old trusty 2014 Macbook Pro is still going strong, and I've abused that one much more.- I also can't use my old Macbook Pro well, because the replacement Transcend 256GB SSD I put in it around 2020 is now failing, causingJul 26, 2026 11:13 AM

Show HN: I built a hypervisor and client for inference on consumer computehttps://scalattice.com/blog/openai-sdk-scalattice/I'm the founder of Scalattice, this is my second company, third total product. I'm a 2x founder building some challenging software, some easy software, and some curiosity based tools that I've just always wanted to be a part of!So here is Scalattice.Scalattice is an OpenAI-compatible inference API. You keep the OpenAI SDK, swap base_url + API key, and call open models (Qwen3, Llama 3.3 70B, Gemma 3, DeepSeek R1, etc.). Inference is performed by a provider node on our distributed network of consumer hosted inference machines, we run an open source agent (https://github.com/scalattice/scalattice-agent) which works in Rust to run the inference and get the provider paid.In short, anyone can become a provider, offer up their machine with our Windows/Linux Rust agent, and earn some extra cash, or start a farm of machines to make big bucks.I decided to build some innovative behavioural traits to the API for higher performance/security: 1. output vetting - Scalattice Cloud vets the response agJul 26, 2026 5:43 AM
