Are Leaders Getting Their Basic Needs Met?In his famous paper, “A Theory of Human Motivation,” psychologist Abraham Maslow proposed a theory called the Hierarchy of Needs. The basic premise of the theory is that all human actions seek to ...

I've build a source of real fake dataHello guys.I want to interest You guys in a tool I've been working on for a last few months - real-fake-data generator. https://real-fake-data.comThe basic need it covers is to deliver test data that is (1) identical to the real data but not real, (2) make sure Your pipelines will catch real life problems - not only those which developer will remember to cover when developing.First of all - reality changes. You can have a submission form with vehicle registration number and You have a problem (different countries, different rules). You will either spend month on digging various scenarios or You will just let it go and put a "max length 7" and go away. Your tool is up and working - BUT someday some country or state decides to have lenght-8 for vehicle plates and .... your system fails (users cant input new vehicle plates) while your test pipelines work and are sending You fake-green smile.Second of all - You really cant predict everythin. You are open for users from around the world? Ni
Show HN: Multiplex – Open-source SSH/tmux/herdr terminal for Vision Pro and iPadI made this app from my need: want a multi-window terminal with first-class tmux integration on mobile, every session as its own window, not panes trapped in one frame. So I chose my Vision Pro as an attempt, and made my first visionOS app side project. It's also native on iPad and iPhone.- It's already on App Store. If you're interested, you can find it at the beginning of the README.- Also includes Agent key bar, file viewer, and browser to meet the basic needs of using Claude Code / Codex / Pi and code review.- Recently added support for herdr, so the herdr sessions will also show in the deck of app if it is set.
How to help Colombians after devastating 7.4 magnitude earthquakeAfter a 7.4 magnitude earthquake in western Colombia, thousands have been left without basic needs and hundreds have died. Here are some organizations to visit to help out those in need in Colombia.
What Disaster Survivors Really NeedThis guest post is by Dr. Geoffrey Sutton. “The need for safety, personal dignity, and respect can be more powerful needs than those in the usual list of basic needs.” Imara pointed to the shiny, taut ...
An inventor's biological clockThe average inventor is more likely to be:a) Older - there is a higher incidence of inventors aged in their 40s to 50s who file patents; and b) Self determining - an inventor is less likely to be associated with a large firm or a university.Inventors do not have disproportionally more genius genes, but are highly motivated and therefore are driven to make a difference. Studies of identical twins separated at birth indicates that creative thinking is:a) less genetically based (estimated to be a one third contribution); b) more learning based (estimated to be a two-thirds contribution) leading to creating confidence in the capacity to create. What does the above profile represent? Why are inventors generally older? Is there a biological clock for inventing?There are many exceptions to the above profile; however, perhaps we should consider Maslowâs pyramid of hierarchy of needs. This pyramid has basic needs at its base, such as food and shelter, and self-actualisation at the peak.Self
I ran out of AI tokens in one app while holding unused tokens in anotherThe problem is simple: AI tokens are locked to individual products.context : I was using both an agentic IDE and a Hostinger deployment agent. One day, I ran out of tokens on the deployment agent. To keep using it, I either had to wait for tokens to reset or upgrade to a higher subscription or buy tokens.So basically, I had AI tokens, but I couldn’t use them where I needed them. or despite having tokens, we cannot use them.As people start using more AI products, this could mean buying tokens again and again for different apps.do you think this is a real problem that other people face, or could face in the future?
IMAGEYou Don't Need AI to Generate CodeHi Guys, I'm going to make a heretical statement. It's this: you don't need AI to generate code and you shouldn't use AI to generate code.Instead I believe AI should be used to elicit the user requirements and the AI can then be used to generate a specification from which code can be mapped to produce code deterministically. We were doing this in a simplified form in the 1980s. If you think this is relevant as an alternative to vibe coding and agentic engineering. Let me know I can show you how all of this works and why it is important in 2026 and beyond. Yes, I am actually that old, but I have a view on the fundamental basics of software engineering. I feel like a survivor of a lost civilisation that has been washed away and forgotten. My approach brings together formal methods and AI in a way that was impossible back in the day. But... now that we have the compute and proper AI, not just IKBS, we can focus on generating a specification and not the code. A specification that can persi
IMAGEShow HN: I wrote a BASIC interpreter that boots on UEFI machinesI started writing Thoreau BASIC because I wanted a small, old-fashioned BASIC interpreter: line numbers, immediate mode, simple graphics, strings, arrays, the sort of environment where the computer starts with a "Ready" prompt and you can immediately make it do something.Then I wondered: why should it need an operating system?So I made it boot directly on x64 machines using UEFI.The UEFI version uses the Graphics Output Protocol for its framebuffer and gets its keyboard input directly from the firmware. There is no Windows or Linux underneath it. The machine boots into BASIC.It supports the usual BASIC machinery plus graphics primitives, 32-bit colour, floating point, file operations and other features I've been adding as I encounter programs that need them. There is now also a Windows version, which makes it considerably easier to try.One of my goals is compatibility with the style and behaviour of old Microsoft BASICs rather than creating a modern language that merely happens to use
Show HN: I built an open source video editor that you can control with an LLMHey HN, my name is David. I'm building an open source video editor.I'm a novice at video editing and previously only used iMovie. I recently opened iMovie to edit a video but noticed it didn't have some features I wanted, like text overlays. Apple probably hasn't updated it in ages. How hard could it be to build one?It's actually pretty hard. There are so many basic things that need to get right, like behavior in the timeline, drag and drop, coloring, etc. Good thing there are LLMs. I was able to put out a simple version in 3 days and have continued to refine it ever since.The idea is that it's focused on novice to intermediate video editors. I find modern video editors to be very overwhelming, with lots of features and controls. It's needed because video editing is a creative tool, and not everything can be built into one. So I turned every button, toggle, and slider into a tool that's accessible to an LLM. A user just needs to tell an LLM what to do, and it has access to tools that c
Show HN: Draco – A single-binary, self-hostable Firecrawl alternative in RustScraping modern websites has become a massive headache. You basically have two choices: pay for an expensive API like Firecrawl/Browserbase, or run a fleet of headless Chrome instances that eat 1GB of RAM per page and still get blocked by Cloudflare.I built Draco to fix this. It’s a fast, single-binary web scraper written in Rust. You point it at a URL, and it spits out perfectly clean Markdown or structured JSON for LLMs.The secret sauce is that it doesn't just boot a browser for every request. It uses a tiered escalation engine:Tier 1 (Stealth Fetch): Draco uses a custom TLS/JA4 fingerprint to perfectly mimic a real browser's network signature at the packet level. It turns out a lot of anti-bot walls will let you right through if your handshake looks correct. In my benchmarks against sites like Cloudflare and Target, Playwright ate ~500MB of RAM and timed out. Draco bypassed them in under a second using just 20MB of RAM.Tier 2 (V8 Isolate): If it hits a React/Next.js SPA that needs r
IMAGEShow HN: Free and open source browser extension for web automationI built a chrome extension, that you can use to automate web tasks within your browser. No need of any separate backend. The extension is standalone and you can use it for free.It also support browser built-in models (like gemini-nano), which you can use for basic tasks like summarizing.Please have a look at Waffy.io. Also drop your honest review.Contributions are always welcome...Thanks
