Ask HN: Just saw a YC25 job posting front page that looks like a 7-day work weekhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49395700This is on the front page right now: https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/salespatriot/jobs/M46X6YX-forward-deployed-engineerSome notable things:a. Go. Fly out and plant yourself inside the customer's operation. Weekdays are onsite (Wisconsin, New York, Miami, Los Angeles); weekends we regroup at the SF HQ to debrief and keep building.Sounds like a 7 day work week to me.b. Absolute grinder. Interested in co-living (though not required). Comfortable with ambiguity and rapid change.You're expected to work 7 days a week and completely blur the line between personal and professional life by "co-living"? What kind of person wrote this?

Show HN: Flight Ledger – Track your flights, what they cost, and United statushttps://app.flightledger.netHello HN,Flight Ledger is a private ledger of your flights, focused on (but not limited to) the United Airlines ecosystem. I am a physicist who has been based near two United hubs, first SFO and now IAH, and I fly United a lot, mostly for work.I built this app to track my flights, flight expenses, and Premier status qualification without having to log into various accounts. All the imports (such as MileagePlus activity csv, .eml receipts, or Flighty/myFlightRadar24 exports) and data filling are manual.A primary feature is that the app requires no sign-up and has no backend. Everything is stored locally, using SQLite and WebAssembly. This means that frequent back-ups are advisable to avoid losing data. For more robust backups and multi-device sync, the app also supports sync via Google Drive. I use this option for myself, but would be curious about other possible solutions.Perhaps the main features that differentiate it from other apps are that the app tracks costs and metrics like CPM

Show HN: ChickenButt a Native GTK Chat Client for Ollama on Linuxhttps://www.chickenbutt.dev/What's up, ChickenButt?I made a free, native GTK client called ChickenButt. :)It lets you chat with local models through Ollama, and I figured some of you might get a kick out of it.Here's the repo: https://github.com/pixelhackstudios/ChickenButtI've always hated reading long text in the terminal, and I couldn't find anything that ran locally that allowed me to get quick answers from LLMs when I needed them.Also, not everyone has access to the frontier models and whatnot, so I thought helping people who only have access to more cost-effective AI would be a fun way to contribute to the FOSS community. So, I built ChickenButt!It was really fun to build, and I wanted to share it.Enjoy! :)

Show HN: OzBrain, a shared brain for knowledge between agents and your teamhttps://ozbrain.comI think agent-first chat interfaces will be a primary software modality and busy dashboard/UI will go away. I’m not sure who exactly wins it, but I want my knowledge to grow/go with me.A lot of the “knowledge” ie research, analysis, reasoning will be done by agents as the primary user. Our current notes tools & tasks management systems were built for humans… I don’t care what the 17th thing on my bug backlog is. I want to conduct agents that can execute for me and do great work.What I built OzBrain to do: + Create a central place for agent reasoned knowledge to live + Be agnostic about what apps/agents connect to it + Capture everything and track it so I can audit it + Enable teams, collaborators or partners to share brains + Handle conflicts so many agents in the same article doesn’t blow up + Refactor knowledge into more token friendly chunks and map the index well + Close the knowledge loop so new thinking supersedes old thinking across the corpus. Don’t erase, depreciate and link +

Show HN: Zroar – Serialized Roaring Bitmaps in Zighttps://github.com/manishrjain/zroarzroar is a ground-up implementation of Roaring Bitmaps data structure in Zig. zroar stores both the keys and (array, bitmap) containers in a single flat byte buffer, making the in-memory representation equal to the on-disk or over-the-network representation, eliminating the serialization/deserialization step entirely.The design was originally aimed at systems which keep their posting lists on disk, but zroar performs faster than CRoaring even for purely in-memory ops, due to CPU cache locality.Against CRoaring 5.0's benchmarking suite (ported to Zig), zroar is faster in 339 out of 360 tests, being 2x-9x faster (geometric mean), and up to 600x faster on serialize/deserialize.zroar avoids complex mechanism (like adaptive radix trees), uses Zig native SIMD ops and is simpler. The main logic is written in ~2000 lines of code, while CRoaring's 64-bit bitmap codebase is over 17000 LOC.Not yet: By choice, zroar doesn't support run containers, and is 64-bit only.There are more details in the G
