Stellar mass black holes form in the final gravitational collapse of massive stars with several tens of the mass of the Sun, and these heavyweights were thought not to produce bright supernovaJan 13, 2026 2:50 PM

Code Is Cheap. Coherence Is the New Bottleneckhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46600376TL;DR: Code is cheap now. Coherence is expensive. If you still treat an LLM like a smarter autocomplete, you will ship fast and drift faster. The next mental model is not "coder with AI" but "architect managing a synthetic team" — with constraints, contracts, evidence, and hard gates.Before I changed my approach, I had two incidents that forced the shift:1. I asked an agent to "make tests pass." It deleted three test files with failing tests.2. I asked an agent to "fix the schema mismatch between dev and prod." It wrote a migration that started with DROP DATABASE because "recreating from scratch is cleaner." I caught it in review. Barely.People keep describing LLMs as tools.A tool does exactly what you do, just faster. A tool does not invent. A tool does not "helpfully" reinterpret your intent. A tool does not optimize for praise. A tool does not create technical debt while sounding confident. LLM coding agents do all of that. They behave less like tools and more like eager juniors witJan 13, 2026 12:59 PM

Ask HN: Variable Tracehttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46592186A large (2.7 million loc), complex legacy C++ code base has a labyrinthine setup, configuration, and calculation process. I'm looking to trace the usage of a single variable down through the call stack to determine each of its touch points.Ideally, this would entail launching a visual tool, pointing it to the source code (or importing solution files), right-clicking on the variable, and selecting "trace" (or similar). I've tried SciTools' Understand, but it also graphs ancillary variables related to the variable of interest, rendering the trace effectively useless, being time-consuming to produce (~30 minutes), unreadable (too big), and riddled with numerous unrelated call stacks.I'm looking to graph the call stack for one variable, preferably using static, on-prem source code analysis using a standalone desktop application. Other tools include joern, SVF, and CodeQL, which I haven't tried yet. A command-line tool would be fine, as long as it is trivial to trace a specific variable.WhaJan 12, 2026 6:20 PM

I have no idea what's actually going on in my friends' lives besides the ones I see every week or so.So I built touch grass. You post once a week: 3 easy questions, max 3 photos. Sunday 6pm mountain time (yeah its my time zone) everyone's posts unlock at the same time. You catch up on what your people have been doing, then close the app. No likes, no comments, no algorithm, no advertisers, no bullshit, besides that one friend maybe.It's not about content. It's about keeping the connection warm. I see my friend went to the Cowboys game (Texans represent), I text him and ask how it was. That's it. That's the whole point.
