Ask HN: What made you stop relying on tutorials?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49407394I learned to program mostly by tutorials. I did what they told me and it all seemed to be straightforward. But when I started up the editor and tried to build something without the tutorial, I often found I didn't understand the logic as well as I thought I did.I’m starting to think the tutorials are good to get you started on a project, but the real shortcomings become apparent during the building phase.Why did you stop using tutorials? What did you do instead?

Show HN: Opensourcing Lemmaflow – A trust harness for AI-native appshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49407337Hi HN, I am introducing Lemmaflow (https://github.com/lemmaflow/lemmaflow) - an open source harness to build & production applications with trust.We all are using AI to ship applications but most of the time the app itself is not safe for the end user. It might leak data, it might violate GDPR, it might ignore cookies.The trust problem is the primary reason why there's still a huge gap in what can be shipped by an experienced dev with AI vs one who is just vibecoding.Lemmaflow tries to cut this gap by introducing a set of 200+ implementable policies and run audits and tell Claude to exactly build trustworthy apps.Do give this a try.

What is postpartum psychosis, the illness at the centre of Lindsay Clancy's murder trial?https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/postpartum-psychosis-lindsay-clancy-9.7313863?cmp=rssLindsay Clancy's defence doesn't dispute that she strangled and killed her three children in 2023 while her then-husband was running an errand. But they argue she isn't criminally responsible because she was suffering from postpartum psychosis, a rare and little-understood mental health condition that can affect a new mom's sense of reality.

Why can AI generate Super Mario but not a wedge ramp for my robot vacuum?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49405520I've been puzzled by something: AI generation can produce an elaborate figurine, a cartoon character, even a convincing Super Mario — yet it can't reliably make a simple wedge ramp so my robot vacuum can climb a step. For context: I bought a Bambu P2S but can't model. I tried the "describe it and get a model" AIs — the output is unusable, you can't adjust it, it's never quite what I meant. I tried having an agent write Python to build geometry directly — it tops out at simple primitives. What finally worked: geometric decomposition. I break a complex part into ordered, grouped steps, describe each as a small spec, and let an agent execute them in Blender (via blender-mcp). That process turned out to abstract into a small engine — the key insight being it converts the 3D spatial reasoning LLMs are bad at, into the structured code they're good at. I wrote it up here: https://github.com/zhuchaokn/spec-3d-model My questions: - Why is "functional part" generation so much weaker than "figuri

Show HN: CtrlTool – 132 free online tools for developers and everyday taskshttps://ctrltool.wtfHey HN, I built CtrlTool because I kept needing small tools for random things and didn't want to install something or sign up for another website. It currently has 132 tools for things like JSON, JWT, Base64, URLs, text, hashes, PDFs, SEO, converters, generators, and other everyday stuff.The main thing I tried to focus on is making the tools fast and simple. For tools where it makes sense, everything runs locally in the browser so the data doesn't need to be uploaded to a server.It's still very new, so I'm mostly looking for feedback on the UX, which tools are actually useful, and what you think is missing.https://ctrltool.wtfWould appreciate any feedback.
