Ask HN: Macbook or Linux Laptop for devs and heavy users?Hey everyone, I'm really curious to hear from people who pushes high end MacBooks and Linux laptops to their limits in daily use. I'll share my daily experience with my Linux laptop below, and I'm hoping to use the feedback from those who have been on both sides to decide if I should make the jump to a MacBook in the future. My experience: I'm a web developer doing both frontend and backend. I also do some mobile dev with Flutter. Personally, I prefer using an Android phone and a Linux machine. I'm currently using an Acer laptop with an i7-13700H and 32GB of DDR4 RAM. I got my company to buy it for way cheaper than similar models on the market. While the overall performance is really good for the price, the speakers are absolute trash and the screen is just okay. Here is what's on my mind: Even though I can get about 3-4 hours of coding done on battery, it's obviously nowhere near a MacBook. I don't really need that long battery life most of the time, but it still sounds nice to have.

Ask HN: Mining Scientific PapersWhat are peoples' experiences with using LLMs to mine information from scientific papers?My own experience: I first attempted to extract the anti-drug antibody (ADA) rate from each of 3730 clinical-trial papers, all indexed in PubMed. I started from PDFs. Claude Opus 4.7 analyzed each PDF using a written rules doc that we had formulated. Running all the papers took about a week because I kept hitting session limits; the total cost was ~$25 (USD). We got actual rates from 909 papers. The rest were mostly cases where the rate was not present or did not meet our criteria, including administering only one drug at a time.I read thirty of the papers and re-read those where I got a different answer from Claude, concluding that it had erred one time and I had erred three times.So this works, but is not totally convenient: session limits mean that I can't start it up and walk away. Or I don't know how to engineer this capability. In addition I was curious how local models would perform.To that

Ask HN: Why is Rust still hard to use as a scripting language?I like Rust, but the edit-run loop still feels heavier than I’d like.Sometimes I don’t care about runtime performance. I just want to write some code, run it quickly, see what happens, and keep tweaking.I know there are things like rust-script, cargo-script, evcxr, and incremental builds, but I haven’t found a setup that feels as casual as Python/Ruby.Is this just the wrong way to think about Rust, or are people actually using it this way?Curious what setups people here use when they want Rust, but with faster feedback.

Show HN: How I built a cron job service to advance myself in Go and worker poolsHi, Guys, For a long time i've been thinking to advance myself in Go but there's been no proper idea to showcase that. I thought - maybe one could leverage from the fact that Go should be very performant in terms of API-based solutions and tools.And especially i wanted to make sure that Go's goroutines can do nicely some fan-out things, for example, getting request, logging, publishing event, without notable performance degradation.I had quite some experience in AWS, with serverless architecture in particular. And there are basically no other option for scheduling except for EventBridge, which has a handsome free tier though. But what if you are not within the AWS infra, because the infra itself could be costly, especially after they removed the "12-months trial" thingy.So, i thought something like cron-as-a-service could be good starting point.Decided to take a straightforward stack: Go API server, Postgres, Redis as both job queue and cache, all running on a single €5/month Hetzner V

Show HN: Sklad, a key-value database in ZigI’ve been building Sklad, a small key-value database in Zig. Right now it supports basic set/get/delete operations, TTL, and range queries. The main idea behind it is to use lock-free data structures and to build the engine around an asynchronous task queue processed by a small pool of worker threads. The task queue is a lock-free MPMC queue. Memtable is also a lock-free skip-list. I also use lock-free append-only queues and stacks throughout the code. The only place where I currently use locking is writing to WAL.The request processing pipeline is split into small tasks. A single I/O worker accepts incoming requests. When a new request arrives, the I/O worker publishes a read-request task, which is then picked up by one of the generic workers. From there, the request continues through a series of smaller tasks: a query-processing task parses the query, an execution task performs the operation, and finally a write-response task sends the result back to the client. Each stage publishes

Show HN: CatchAll – slowest web search API that outperforms everything on recallHey HN,Artem and Maksym from NewsCatcher here.Some of you know us as we started six years ago as two freshly graduated economics students who decided to build the best news API product.We started NewsCatcher thinking the market for news APIs was so big that we could build a self-serve platform and get millions of $29 users.Obviously, it was a wrong assumption. We pivoted to serve enterprises and had success with it.But we are hackers at heart, and we want to serve hackers.We haven't used our Launch HN yet, so consider this our smoke test.We're looking for feedback and power users rather than revenue. So, happy to provide enough credits for any HN user who finds CatchAll useful.CatchAll is built for one thing: retrieving every matching event from the web. The use cases that fit it are ones where missing events have real consequences — funding and M&A monitoring, regulatory and compliance feeds (FDA approvals, SEC filings, policy changes), cybersecurity incident tracking, supply chain si

Show HN: Built Secure PDF tools (25+) that run in the browserI built https://securelocalpdf.com/ , a set of 25 PDF tools that run entirely in your browser — no uploads, no servers, no tracking.Most online PDF tools require you to send sensitive files and promise they’ll delete them “after 2 hours.” That includes sensitive, even password-protected documents — which still get processed server-side. That model fundamentally relies on trust. With SecureLocalPDF, there’s no upload step at all — everything happens locally in your browser, so your files never leave your device.It supports upto 20MB PDF instantly, 50MB PDFs with 2 to 3 second latency and 100MB PDFs with 5-6 second latency. All these depends on browser and the user device performance.Check out - https://securelocalpdf.com/Please leave feedback for any improvement.( There are couple of known UI bugs to iron out)

Technical SEO vs. content optimization: which one moves rankings?I’ve been noticing something while working with SEO teams:A lot of effort goes into content, but technical issues that actually limit performance often get ignored or deprioritized.In some cases, fixing crawl/indexing/performance issues had a bigger impact than publishing more content.Curious how others here think about this in practice.Do you usually prioritize content or technical SEO first?

Artemis II: Christina Koch's PCD FailureEarly in the Artemis 2 Mission, Christina Koch's PCD (personal computing device, essentially a Surface tablet) completely failed to power on, and Houston had her attempt to perform a hard reset (hold down the power button, and the volume up button) several times, later having her remove the SD card and try again, at one point referring to last ditch efforts to get it running as a "hail-mary."These efforts were ultimately unsuccessful, and this equipment failure led to the crew having to share three working PCDs between the four of them for all of their work for the entire remaining duration of the mission. They were able to make this configuration work, albeit not without complications. Their PCDs were their direct means of tracking their jobs, documenting their work, running checklists, looking up procedures, etc. During the lunar fly-by in particular, while they were doing photography of their various lunar targets, they said that they had to swap out SD cards as they rotated between

Show HN: 2500 vision benchmarks / evals for Vision Language ModelsI love reading benchmark / eval papers. It's one of the best way to stay up-to-date with progress in Vision Language Models, and understand where they fall short.Vision tasks vary quite a lot from one to another. For example:- vision tasks that require high-level semantic understanding of the image. Models do quite well in them. Popular general benchmarks like MMMU are good for that. - visual reasoning tasks where VLMs are given a visual puzzle (think IQ-style test). VLMs perform quite poorly on them. Barely above a random guess. Benchmarks such as VisuLogic are designed for this. - visual counting tasks. Models only get it right about 20% of the times. But they’re getting better. Evals such as UNICBench test 21+ VLMs across counting tasks with varying levels of difficulty.Compiled a list of 2.5k+ vision benchmarks with data links and high-level summary that auto-updates every day with new benchmarks.

Why aren't LLM's trained on their own Chain Of Thought?I realise that without allowing reasoning tokens, a model performs very poorly. It can't perform simple arithmetic or simple logic and hallucinates a bit.But by allowing it to think a bit and then answer, the result is much better and way more trustable.This shows a clean RL environment.. or just a nice data-set. Where you prompt the model two times - one without allowing thinking and one with thinking. Penalise the result from non thinking if the result contradicts the answer obtained from thinking.

Show HN: Reviewskits – Open-source, headless, and self-hostable social proofHi HN,I built Reviewskits because of a recurring frustration I faced while working for a web agency in Switzerland.Our designers created beautiful, pixel-perfect layouts, but when it came to testimonials, we were stuck with rigid, pre-made widgets from tools like Senja or Trustpilot. Hacking them with CSS to match our UI was a nightmare. When we looked at their API pricing to build our own components for 100+ clients, the cost was astronomical ($90 to $300+/mo).Later, as an indie dev building my own SaaS, I simply couldn’t afford those prices.So I built Reviewskits: High Performance: The API is built with Bun and Hono for ultra-low latency. Self-Hostable: You own your data. Period. No more black boxes. Headless first: We provide the API and SDK. You build the UI that matches your design perfectly. Open-Core: The core engine is open-source. I’m looking for two things today: Contributors: I want to turn this into a web standard for social proof. If you're into Bun, Hono, or React, I'd lo

Show HN: DataRamen, navigate your DB without a single line of SQL (no AI)Let me address the elephant in the room first: DataRamen does not use AI, it performs static analysis of your DB to figure out joins and data anchors. It runs on your local machine or can be self hosted, so your data stays yours. It's 100% open source with verified NPM release from GitHub action.DataRamen is designed to simplify and make it more accessible navigating your database by removing SQL and replacing it with UI to query, join and jump from one record to another. The core idea was to make it feel like you are using a spreadsheet, but with live data in your DB (currently supports MySQL and Postgres).Smart anchors let you move from one record to another with a simple click. Most of the current SQL clients have this feature but it usually works just one way: it allows you to open referenced records, but not vice versa. DataRamen goes further by allowing you to navigate both ways.Let's say you have a table User, and each user can have multiple Document (Document.userId references

Show HN: AirplaneMode – Simulate realistic airplane WiFi on macOSI needed to test how my app performed on airplane WiFi and found that existing tools (Network Link Conditioner, comcast, Chrome DevTools, etc) weren't sufficient.AirplaneMode is a macOS CLI and menu bar app that uses a local MASQUE relay to provide:1. Jitter. All of the mac os network simulators I tried apply a fixed constant delay with no jitter model. Real airplane satellite WiFi follows a log-normal distribution — most packets arrive near base RTT, but a few percent spike to 5-10x. AirplaneMode samples jitter from a log-normal distribution fit to real flight measurements.2. Userspace, with domain scoping and UDP support. No root required. A .mobileconfig profile routes only matched domains through the relay — the rest of your network is unaffected. The relay operates at the UDP packet level via MASQUE, so HTTP/3 and QUIC congestion control respond naturally to simulated conditions.3. Realistic Profiles. Airlines use performance-enhancing proxies that inflate speed test results. Pres
