Getting back into photography, ditching the phone camera in 2026?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47842292I've been looking through twenty-five-odd years of my own photos. The collection includes scanned 35mm and medium format images; digital pictures from a few Canon Powershot generations and a 20D SLR; and about five iPhones.I've noticed that the non-cell-phone pictures tended to be better, and that in general I seemed to have quite a bit more fun with photos taken with, well, "real" cameras. Probably the best ones were taken with the 20D, which for its time was a really nice camera, for which I was able to bring over some lenses from my film days.I wouldn't rule out more film photography but I think of that as a somewhat separate track. I'd like to get a digital camera that captures a bit more of what I enjoyed about film photography - that high image density, looking through a physical viewfinder, not necessarily curating images in real time... looking, shooting, and moving on.I've been following Fujifilm cameras for awhile in this market, having read about them here a few years ago.

Show HN: Seltz – The fastest, high quality, search API for AI agentshttps://console.seltz.ai/loginHi HN, Antonio here. Founder of Seltz.Seltz is a web search API built for AI agents. We wrote the crawler, the index, and the retrieval models ourselves, in Rust, by a team that's spent years building web search at scale. In our tests, queries come back in under 200ms.Efficiency was the first design principle. Search sits on the critical path: agents can't generate their first tokens or kick off the next tool call until results come back. When you run tens or hundreds of queries in parallel, every millisecond of tail latency compounds.Most search APIs for agents are wrappers around Google or Bing. If your agent already has a Google tool, a second call to a Google-wrapped API returns the same ten documents. We run our own independent index, so you get different results and different rankings.Coverage starts with US news. More verticals are coming.There's a free tier with $100 in credits at the link. I'd love feedback from anyone building agents: how does it compare to what you're using,

I Built a 22k-Line App with Zero Coding Experience. Or, how to control agentshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47833955There’s a lot of hype (and hate!) right now around "Vibe Coding". And rightly so. The idea that you can build out software entirely by kicking back and commanding AI agents to do the typing for you is an incredibly exciting concept, but most people trying this are hitting a brutal reality after just a few days: AI Code Rot. First it works. Then it fails. And you have no idea how to fix it. I decided to build an app: a complex dinner scheduling engine. It imports recipe URLs and outputs schedules, shopping lists, and a host of tips for feeding big groups that I’ve developed after 15 years of running a weekend supper club. Central to the project was importing URLs and breaking down (often badly written) steps into machine-understandable units which could be timed and rebuilt into slick schedules. I was told more than once that this would be ‘impossible’. Every recipe is an exception! And they might be right... if you want 100% compliance. But that never happens anyway (unless you’re NASA

Show HN: MyKana, a Japanese learning app I built for my own studyhttps://mykana.app/I built this for myself while trying to get serious about learning Japanese again:https://mykana.app/I studied a little Japanese more than 10 years ago, but only for a short time, so most of it didn't stick. Since then, I've been to Japan many times because my girlfriend is Japanese and my older brother lives there. More recently, with me and my girlfriend traveling back and forth to Japan quite a lot and both of us having family in Tokyo, I wanted a better way to rebuild my foundation and keep practicing consistently.The app started around kana practice, but grew into something larger:hiragana / katakana practice kanji and vocabulary study review-based learning AI chat for more natural practice some light gamificationThe AI chat is free, but requires Google sign-in. That is mostly to prevent bot abuse, since it costs me money to run, and secondarily because it allows progress syncing across devices.I'd appreciate honest feedback, especially on what would make this more genuinely usefu

OpenEMIS-MCP – human English (or Arabic) queries over a school systemhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47828995Have you ever heard about OpenEMIS (that means literally Open Education Management Information System - that is a school system) ? If not - it is ok - as I see this American based product started by a North Korean and used mainly in many countries North Americans never heard of - so you are normal if you don't know it. But I know it well - I've installed it in Uzbekistan to use as a basis of Electronic Queue (or line as Americans call if) for enrollment into Kindergartents. And today (or yesterday) I've developed an MCP to work with OpenEMIS and I was so excited that I decided to share my excitement with you. So if somehow you are interested both in OpenEMIS and in MCP - I hope you are excited as well. By the way I hope you can find it using these two words - OpenEMIS and MCP (obviously)

Blocked from submiting a 0-day ransomware samplehttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47824404I was one of the first to receive access to a large upcoming ransomware campaign, so I built binaries to be inspected and sent to major labs. Out of probably 20 places to submit samples, I could only send to 1 because every other either blocks Tor or requires some SSO, effectively blocking Tor. To do that, I spent nearly 20 minutes solving Google captchas, which honestly felt like the most humiliating experience of my life.humiliating enough that I am walking away and maybe not returning. I am cold, tired, and hungry at this very moment, having struggled enough with finding stable employment since COVID this living nightmare just will not stop. I missed the foodbank again this month.a computer probably wrote this malware, is already taking my jobs, is constantly interfering with my ability to socially participate, prevents me from applying to most jobs, has algorithmically destroyed large family bonds, can't open a bank account, can't get a loan, hard for me to see the point anymore, I

Show HN: Yojam – Route links to the right browser/profile, strip trackers firsthttps://github.com/fluffypony/yojamAuthor here. Yojam sits in place of your default browser on macOS and intercepts every http/https click, mailto, .webloc, Handoff page, AirDrop link, Share menu item, and yojam:// URL. They all go through the same pipeline: global URL rewrites, tracker parameter stripping, rule matching (domain / prefix / regex / source app), per-browser rewrites, then either open or show a picker at the cursor. Things I cared about that other pickers don't quite get right:- Browser profiles as first-class targets. A rule can send a URL to "Chrome, Profile 3" or "Firefox, Work container" - not just "Chrome". Seems obvious; somehow nobody else does it properly.- Source-app matching. GitHub links from Slack route differently than GitHub links from Messages. Handoff, AirDrop, Share, Services, and each browser extension get synthetic bundle IDs so rules can fire on ingress path.- Tracker stripping happens before the target browser ever sees the URL, so referrer leakage through utm_* / fbclid / gclid / etc.

Observability Stack – AI First?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47819461So... I'm way behind. Just got into Claude this week... it's already doing most of my coding and bug fixes. Crazy stuff.Some background on my company: Mature (14 yrs) Ruby on Rails app, Sidekiq, Redis, PG, AWS lambda/eventbridge, react/preact, swift, and others. Hosted on Heroku. Very database heavy. Solo guy, owner/operator.Current stack:Datadog logging (dabbled in APM, metrics, and others, but the build pack for Heroku is so bloated I had to remove it), so now it's a simple Heroku log drain to datadog. I really miss the statsd host and APM stuff... but it took my slug size from ~250mb to over 350 and made booting and deploys much slower. I'd also like to get off Heroku.... some day... but I can't event fathom it.Bugsnag for errors. Already moved this to Sentry to try out the AI stuff.A little fed up with Datadog and receiving $600 monthly bills on top of my enterprise commitment. biggest pain points: indexing is priced per line, not by gb (discourages me from simple logging, so I res

Ask HN: Has zooming out helped you deal with AI anxiety?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47819206My weird little aha moment came from an HN thread about moon dust smelling like gunpowder.I recently moved to the Bay and have noticed a lot of AI anxiety in everyday conversation.I'm in my early 20s, work in tech but not as an engineer, and a few friends have asked why I don't seem that anxious about it. I didn't have a good answer until yesterday.Oddly, the answer came from an HN thread about moon dust smelling like gunpowder. The thread drifted into oxygen, reactivity, Mars, and long timescales. That ended up clarifying something for me.I think a lot of AI anxiety comes from viewing yourself mainly through the lens of one job market at one moment in time. I don't naturally think that way.Earth took a very long time to produce an oxygen-rich atmosphere. Life took a very long time to adapt to it. Humans are already the product of repeated adaptation to large changes, so I don't find it natural to jump straight from "AI changes work" to "human meaning is over."For me, AI has mostly bee

Claude Code Opus 4.7 keeps checking on malwarehttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47814832So during development, at every task I start, I see a line like this:`Own bug file — not malware.`It seems that it's obsessively checking if it's working on malware production.In another situation where I was working on a parser of a HTML document with JS, it refused because it believed that I was bypassing security measurements.I believe AI has to be supportive in the work that I'm doing. When it's obsessively checking me if I am doing anything wrong or abusing the system, I have the feeling it is controlling me. I understand that we do have guardrails and I also understand that it's very important that people do not abuse this new tech for bad stuff.I pay $200 per month for a max subscription. They already know who I am. Claude knows I work in scraper tech, and it also knows that our clients are the companies we scrape.Now with Opus 4.7, I've had a situation that it refused to continue because I asked to automate the cookie creation with a Chrome extension.In a situation where someon

Why your company will never scale (or maybe why it will)https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47814662We’re in a copied world. Today, it is so incredibly easy for someone to see what you’re doing and copy your product. So the question is: How do you actually scale your business to the next level? How do you move past being just a "product" and become a trend, or a brand that you actually dream of? I believe it comes down to two things: User Laziness and Competitor Laziness1. Making the user too lazy to switch:When you look at Apple, it’s the perfect example. People switch to Apple because of the minimalism, the luxury, or even the peer pressure. But they stay because of the inter-connected interaction. Once you buy one device, you buy the second, then the third. Eventually, the devices are so interconnected that switching onto another provider like Android, feels inefficient. You’ve made the user too lazy to switch because the cost of leaving your ecosystem is too high-Adobe doesn't just sell Photoshop; they sell a workflow.
