Show HN: An API for human-powered browser tasksAt APM Help, we have a large team that performs repetitive, browser-based tasks. Years ago, to manage this work securely and get a clear audit trail, we built an internal platform we call "Hub." It's essentially a locked-down environment where our team works that records their sessions, tracks every interaction, and prevents data from being copied or shared. It's been our internal source of truth for years.More recently, like many companies, we've been building more automation. And like everyone else, we've seen our automations fail on edge cases—a weirdly formatted invoice our parser can't read, a website layout change that breaks a scraper, etc. Our team would have to manually step in to fix these.We realized other developers must have this exact same problem, but without a 250-person team on standby. So we connected our old, battle-tested Hub to a new, modern front door: a Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) API. We're calling it browser-work.com.The idea is simple: when you hit a task that ne

Show HN: Duende: Web UX for guiding Gemini as it improves your source codeI wrote a simple web UX in Python/JavaScript that spawns a conversation with Google Gemini with MCP commands that let it work on a specific coding task that you specify: http://github.com/alefore/duendeThe UX lets you observe the conversation and provide guidance (e.g. "don't implement Foo through Bar, that's suboptimal; instead …").It supports a `--review` mode, where once the main conversation says "I'm done with the task", various "evaluation" conversations are spawned, each focusing on reviewing the change from a very specific angle (e.g. "does it introduce useless comments?"). In the future, I'm considering adding other workflows.I've used it mostly to develop itself (I started with a super rudimentary manual implementation and then mostly used Duende to extend its own implementation) as well as (with moderate success) to add a few new features to [my C++ text editor](http://github.com/alefore/edge).It's been a lot of fun. I'm still developing my intuitions for what works and what

Show HN: Made a CD interest for my familyIt started, as many meaningful projects often do, not with a grand vision, but with a quiet frustration. I remember sitting with my aunt, a meticulous planner, as she tried to make sense of her savings. She had a small sum set aside and was looking into Certificates of Deposit, trying to find the best home for her hard-earned money. Bank websites were a maze of fine print, varying terms, and different compounding frequencies. She’d painstakingly jot down numbers, trying to compare a 3-year CD with quarterly compounding against a 5-year one with monthly compounding, all while battling the niggling fear of making a mistake. Her spreadsheet was a patchwork of formulas she wasn't entirely confident in, and the whole process left her feeling overwhelmed, not empowered.Watching her struggle, I felt a familiar ache. I’d been there myself. The financial world, for all its talk of transparency, often felt deliberately opaque. Calculating compound interest manually, or even with basic online too

Ask HN: Help with GLSL Bi-LaplacianCan anyone help me with any hints about writing (in glsl) a bi-laplacian function that can take a neighborhood size? (I am not a mathematician, but I heard that the bi-laplacian of X is the laplacian-of-the-laplacian of X)I have these existing implementations for laplacian and bilaplacian and they work great, but are fixed-size (basically the smallest-possible) and don't have any weighting because I guess that's close-to-meaningless for the smallest-possible neighborhood?:vec3 laplacian = ( a_n + a_e + a_s + a_w - 4.0 * a ) / ( h * h );vec3 bilaplacian = ( a_n2 + a_e2 + a_s2 + a_w2 + 2.0 * ( a_ne + a_se + a_sw + a_nw ) - 8.0 * ( a_n + a_e + a_s + a_w ) + 20.0 * a ) / ( h * h * h * h );I already have a 'laplaceSize' function that I can pass a size to, to get a larger neighborhood - it iterates in 2D over the cells that are covered by the specified half-width, and weights them with a smoothstep. Works great, but I want a bi-laplacian equivalent.So far I haven't been able to work out how

Ask HN: Time to Pivot Out of Engineering?I’m looking for a new job and I’m not sure if I should even keep applying to SWE roles or not. Looking back on the 6 years I’ve been working as a SWE, I’ve always ended up in a position where I was pretty miserable after a couple years no matter what company I was working for at the time. I’m annoyed at all the process, I’m annoyed with the people, I’m not interested in what the company is doing, and it just feels like such a grind.Earlier on, I thought that this was just a symptom of not liking the product, culture, or just getting bored of what I was working on at the time and could be fixed by going to a different company. But now after working at 3 different companies of slightly different sizes, I’m starting to think that maybe I just don’t enjoy this field as much as I thought I would.I’m definitely not a 10x engineer who is constantly cranking out code, and if I’m being honest with myself I am just a slightly above average engineer. I’m good enough to do the tasks that are neede

Show HN: React.tv – User-Curated TV and Ethical React ContentHi HN!I am excited to share the project I have been working on for the last nine months called React.tv.The original problem I was attempting to solve is "Ethical React Content" on the internet. If you are confused, react content is when a content creator watches media and puts their image and commentary over the media being watched. The current solution to these reaction videos is good faith attribution, where the content creator puts a link to the video being watched in their description in hopes that the audience will click it. This is not ideal, and when done on a livestream with hundreds to thousands in the audience it can remove a large chunk of potential views.React.tv solves this by allowing you to place your livestream side-by-side with the content being watched. It uses embeds which are synced for everyone watching, meaning that the audience views are funneled back to all the sources being watched.After several iterations I noticed that a simple watch party system wasn't enou
