Show HN: Nauma new features (financial planning)https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49424883Hi HN,We recently launched a few new features at Nauma, and I thought this community might be interested in learning about them.HELOC/SBLOC support. You can now model opening a line of credit and spreading withdrawals over time to keep your income below a desired threshold for tax and healthcare-cost purposes. This can be useful when you have a large expense, such as a home renovation, but want to keep your income below the standard deduction + 0% LTCG tax bracket, or when you want to diversify away from a concentrated stock position gradually. Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9rPxvBZFccQCD support. You can now model charitable giving directly from a Traditional IRA. The model estimates actual QCD amounts each year based on the account owner's age, IRA balance, and IRS limits adjusted for inflation. Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qpldk1dArBIACA and IRMAA constraints in the Roth Conversion Optimizer. Roth conversions can help reduce future tax spikes caused by RMDs, but the

Show HN: Rate Floor Pricer – like price insurance on GPU, estimated in real timehttps://www.getcomputable.com/hedgeGPU leases have become massive price bets.To meet surging demand, companies are signing multi-year GPU contracts but this also means they're taking on serious duration risk in the process. Over the next 3 to 5 years, any single SKU of GPU can decline in price due to depreciation, obsolescence, or simple oversupply.As a result, companies have realized that they need a hedge, but bilateral, bespoke derivatives are arcane, slow, and difficult to navigate.That's why we built a self-serve pricer for cash-settled rate floors: Pick your SKU, calendar months, coverage, and floor level, and see your floor priced in about a minute.Many companies have already been using this tool to paper eight-figure notional agreements. Now we're bringing it to everyone.

Ask HN: Finding Equity Only Jobshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49424367(throwaway account)After a long career at big tech companies, I saved enough money to FIRE and I quit my job about a year ago. While I enjoy the peace of mind and the lack of stress, I enjoy building things and spending the rest of my life doing nothing is not my path for happiness.I tried to create my own business but doing some of the non technical work was not really my cup of tea AND working by myself felt a bit lonely.Now I'm considering if I should join an early startup, and since the financial part is not a concern to me, I could work for little or no money (obviously with enough equity to make up for that). However I don't even know where to look for jobs like that: - There are places for co founder matching, but that is not what I want to be - Vast majority of people on my personal network are either on big tech, or tried startups for 1-2 years and went back to big tech. - Cold reaching random companies sounds like odd.Does anyone has some good advice or suggestions for what I

Ask HN: Is there a stronger moat in marketplaces in the age of SaaS AI Slop?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49424263Basically, what I’m trying to say is: software is cheap to produce now, but not necessarily easy to customize.It seems like everyone is honing in on distribution and capital as the moat. We have all these vibe-coding platforms and a flood of applications that are 90% there but not quite finished. Then everyone is trying to get that last 10% and capture the value there.The people winning so far are mostly agencies, right? Or hackers going door to door and selling custom solutions. But what’s killing them is the shenanigans around customer acquisition, growth hacking and stuff like that. I think startups promising things like 'your agentic CMO in a box' are a symptom of this, and personally not yet fully convinced on their utility, as much respect as I have for many cracked founders selling shovels.I don’t know if anyone saw Outbid.lol, the pay-to-rank leaderboard that just went viral on X and immediately spawned a brigade of copycats, but it made me really think: are marketplaces going

A technology that counts reps and scores muscle failure from the Apple Watchhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49423904Hi HN, I built this.Riven turns Apple Watch motion into three things: when a set starts and ends, which exercise you're doing, how many reps you did, and how close that muscle got to failure. The only sensor it uses is the Watch's 100 Hz motion sensor. No manual input at all. Say goodbye to manual logging.The idea behind it is old and well-tested: reps slow down as you approach failure. Velocity-based training has used this principle for years, but it typically requires a sensor on the bar or a camera pointed at it, so it's mostly limited to barbell exercises. I built the same concept using only the sensors already inside the Apple Watch.The tough part is knowing when a set starts and finishes, especially when you're moving around a busy gym, and differentiating reps from noise. After extensive ML training, we've gotten it to a point where it works really well.App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/riven-reps-muscle-failure/id6770362701 Website: https://riven.fitHappy to answer any ques

I write my own Markdownhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49423182In the context of side projects, I've come to these rules for code and text:1a) Code gets minimal review so long as I've architected the solution, built around the correct data structures (I've heard the code writes itself if the data structure is correct), and have specified the shape of the tests.1b) Tests I review to check for overfitting, cheats, etc.2) Comments in code can be chock-full of LLM-isms. Don't care.3) But the Markdown files, which may be read by a person or an LLM, those must be heavily redacted, edited, and put into a human voice.The simple reason is that LLM's, machines built to generate text, are incapable of presenting a linear flow of relevant facts without sidebars, tangents, irrelevancies, duplication, gaps, well-known style fails like overuse of stock words and phrases, layers of historical cruft, over-explanations, and qualitative fluff. In other words, they can't tell it straight.I have only one audience, people. Some of them read the text themselves, others

Mohammed bin Salman in the City of Light: Does West value economic interests over 'Western values'?https://www.france24.com/en/mbs-in-the-city-of-light-in-a-world-of-realpolitik-does-west-value-economic-interests-over-valuesJean-Emile Jammine is pleased to welcome Susanne Koelbl, Der Spiegel's award-winning foreign correspondent. According to Koelbl,, Emmanuel Macron’s decision to welcome Mohammed bin Salman at the Élysée reflects realpolitik in its purest form: 'Saudi Arabia had become too important for energy, regional security, investment and diplomacy in the Middle East to be permanently isolated. So Macron wanted to establish France as an independent, balanced power between the Mediterranean and the Gulf."
