Ask HN: Should hard-tech founders join a problem or technology-first PhD lab?I'm an engineering undergrad considering pursuing a PhD with the long-term goal of founding a hard-tech startup. I’m undecided about the specific area and only have a vague sense of what interests me -- industrial decarbonization, mining / mineral processing, and advanced materials are a few areas that currently seem exciting.However, I'm unsure which type of PhD lab would provide better preparation: either a problem-first lab (e.g., like Yet-Ming Chiang at MIT) or a technology-first lab (e.g., your typical academic lab that focuses on novel science without a predetermined application, and where commercialization happens largely by chance — when a technology happens to have a valuable market application).I've looked at advice online from successful hard-tech entrepreneurs, but the answers are conflicting. Some say to work backwards from a problem, but others argue that problem-first approaches often don't work since deep tech is inherently different: you often can't force a scientific

Show HN: NanoRL – RL training for LLMs in ~1,800 linesThe smallest async RL trainer I could write: one loop that runs REINFORCE on CartPole on a laptop and async GRPO on a cluster (e.g. 8xH100 trainer, 8 vLLM workers, ran as a [SkyPilot job group](https://docs.skypilot.ai/en/latest/examples/job-groups.html) on k8s ).All without Ray or TRL or DeepSpeed etc., workers talk to the trainer over stdlib HTTP.

Show HN: Argmin, challenges for optimizing hard problemsI want to share a project I've been working on called argmin.dev. It's a platform for hard optimization problems where a solution can be checked deterministically.For a bit of background, I've always found these types of problems interesting. The really difficult optimization problems where techniques like gradient decent don't work, or where even finding a feasible solution is difficult (e.g. square packing). I've worked on these independently for fun and have created this project as a way to share the problems I find interesting with the community. I am curious to see how far others can push these.Each challenge is defined by its verifier, a program that will enforce the constraints, and evaluate the objective function. The verifiers are open-source per challenge, so users can check their solutions against it before submitting. The platform keeps a record of submissions and will update the leaderboard each time someone finds a new record. Because the verifier is the spec, any loophol

2. Ask HN: We built a solution for 100B-node P2P. Does anyone care about this?We have developed an architecture and algorithms that enable search in a peer-to-peer network of over 100 billion nodes in under one second, and under half a second in low-orbit satellite networks. The routing requires less than 80 KB of memory per device, allowing the network to run entirely on consumer devices like smartphones.We are two researchers. We spent years trying to build a mathematically protected secret voting system. In the process, we were forced to solve many networking problems that typically prevent a pure P2P network from reaching global scale:— Search: Deterministic, under 1 second, 100B+ nodes, under 80 KB routing memory per device.— Identity: Anonymous authentication without CAs. One person, many devices, no passwords. — Recovery: Session restoration without passwords or seed phrases.— Subnets: Fully autonomous, isolated networks of any scale.— Anonymization: Traffic analysis resistance built into the protocol.— Integrity: Consensus-based recovery of routing data

Show HN: An open-source video editor built for coding agentsHey HN! We’ve been working on this project for almost 3 years now, and recently decided to finally make it open source.It’s a local-first video editor that runs in the browser and is mostly built from scratch. We’re using WebCodecs for all the encoding and decoding work, which lets us get performance pretty close to native editors.Since day one the goal of the project was to solve LLM-based video editing, but the models have only recently become capable enough to make it genuinely useful. Instead of trying to force our own chat interface onto users, we built a CLI that is designed to work with existing coding agents like Claude Code.The idea is that agents can operate the editor directly, while you can still open the same project in a visual interface to review their work and change things yourself.A few things that set it apart from other NLEs: - The editor is an infinite canvas (kind of like Figma, but for video editing) - You can build compositions as SolidJS modules and mount them

Show HN: Pyrig – One command to set up a production-ready Python projectI built pyrig because I did the same setup everytime I started a proper python project. I genuinely believe this can be a great tool, for me it has already genuinely simplified my python project development. I would love feedback on this of any kind. Below is a description of what pyrig is and does.pyrig generates and maintains a complete, production-ready Python project from a single command. It creates all the files you need — source structure, tests, CI/CD, documentation, configs — and keeps them in sync as your project evolves.uv inituv add pyriguv run pyrig initYou get: package structure with a CLI entry point, test framework with 90% coverage enforcement, GitHub Actions (CI/CD, releases, docs deployment), pre-commit hooks, MkDocs documentation site, and container support.The key difference from templates like cookiecutter is that pyrig isn't a one-shot scaffold. It's idempotent — rerun it anytime to update configs, add missing files, or sync with the latest defaults. It merges mi

The Systemic Collapse of the AI Industry: Ideology, Hardware, and CapEx CrisisThe Systemic Collapse of the AI Industry: A Crisis of Ideology, Hardware, Finance, and Ethics The Ideological Illusion Silicon Valley has sold humanity a marketing simulacrum under the guise of "Artificial Intelligence." We were promised a holy salvation, but instead, we received a fragmented, distributed network of colossal servers burning through other people's mathematical code. This mass self-deception forces society to accept a technology that lacks agency, cares nothing for ecology, and masquerades as a manageable deity while acting as a gluttonous, blind idol. The $1.1 Trillion Financial Black Hole Big Tech (Amazon, Alphabet, Microsoft, Meta) has triggered a catastrophic investment cycle, with cumulative capital expenditures (CapEx) exceeding $1.1 trillion since 2023, and 2026 infrastructure spending projected at $720B–$745B. The fundamental economic model is broken: AI subscription revenues are a drop in the ocean compared to hardware and energy costs. Corporate balance sheets

How Google makes sure your phones doesn't work without itHello HN,I've been playing around with AOSP alot and one thing i noticed is how much android depends on google even if Android itself doesnt need it. Here's everything i found out:1. Forced Integration of GPS (google play services) - This single handedly causes alot of problem to power users because without it almost nothing works.. Even if you use MicroG there's still some server side verifications that it just cannot help with.2. Sideloading Restrictions - Starting in 2026, Google requires developers to submit government IDs, pay fees, and register signing keys to distribute apps via sideloading, effectively blocking independent software distribution on certified devices.3. Ecosystem dependence. I don't need to explain this one at all i think4. Apps literally won't work. Banking apps and any app that uses play integrity will just refuse to work.What made me the most furious was Google locking down opensource apps with unverified devs. This caused an uproar in the open source communit
