The Pixel 11 isn’t the best Pixel of 2026, but it’s the smartest buyhttps://www.theverge.com/tech/982190/google-pixel-11-reviewIt'd be easy to overlook the Pixel 11. Want the best cameras? The Pixel 11 Pro is your answer. Want the best bargain? The Pixel 10A is still a great deal.
But the Pixel 11 might be the sweet spot in Google's lineup this year. With 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, it delivers the same performance as the base Pixel 11 Pro for $899 - $200 less. And while it's $400 more than the Pixel 10A, it has a f...Aug 19, 2026 3:58 PM

Show HN: A LaTeX resume builder that compiles offline in the browserhttps://ihatelatex.com/Whenever my juniors used to ask me how to build an ATS-friendly resume, I used to advise them to create a LaTeX resume. I'd share a .tex file with my template.They opened it, copied and pasted it into Overleaf, compiled it, and whoa - it generated my resume.Then they went through the complex LaTeX code, figuring out what to change and where, ran into hundreds of errors, and even AI-generated code gave them bugs.Resume contains personal information, which students hesitate to share with everyone.To solve exactly this problem, I created a small tool: "IhateLaTex" IhateLaTex.comIt's the first free, offline LaTeX resume builder, without going through complex code. It works offline, right in your browser, without saving your sensitive information in any server.Aug 19, 2026 3:10 PM

Show HN: BRep Geometric CAD Kernel and Parametric Code CADhttps://github.com/yuechen-li-dev/Aetheris/I'm pretty excited to show off something I've been working on for the past few months. A free, open-source geometric kernel that allows humans/LLMs to write code (in this case, a DSL called Firmament) and generate 3D models of CAD parts, to finally provide an alternative to OpenCascade.To get some questions out of the way. - Full STEP import/export support for AP242, AP203 and AP214 are still experimental at the time, but everything produced by Aetheris should open in any CAD app with STEP support. - Support for single edge/planar fillets/chamfers right now, should be more than sufficient for most CNC/3D printing use cases. - Fillets: https://github.com/yuechen-li-dev/Aetheris/blob/master/testd... - Chamfers: https://github.com/yuechen-li-dev/Aetheris/blob/master/testd... - Supports dimensional/GD&T annotation via STEP 242's semantic PMI. - Kernel is written entirely in C#, with bindings for Go, Rust, Python, and TypeScript available.If you just want to vibe-CAD, clone the repo, run itAug 19, 2026 3:09 PM

Enshitification Comes for Cursorhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49362593Sometimes I feel like the last person on HN that's still using Cursor for development work. But if anyone is curious - its getting a lot shittier, quickly.The entire application seems to exist to steer you towards using Grok and whatever new product Cursor's team has pumped out this week. You're constantly prompted to switch to using a Cloud agent, including the UI seemingly changing as you're working which caused me to accidentally select a cloud agent instead of my local system a few times. There are daily pop-ups in the app to check out this and that new thing, these are at least pretty easy to close and ignore. This morning Cursor decided to select a new Grok model by default without prompting, which I didn't notice until it had spent 10 minutes burning tokens on a simple bug investigation that Opus resolved in 30 seconds.I finally bit the bullet and setup Pi with Open Router the other day. I still prefer the UI of Cursor but this is like death by a thousand cuts.Aug 19, 2026 3:04 PM
