We need to rethink tech stackhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49061251Let me start this with something we already know, AI is here, it may be controversial how it will operate open or closed but its not going anywhere.If you look at the current tech space, AI integrations and use and some very useful but some unnecessary AI implementations, you will realise that there are either many gaps in current understanding.Lets start on what i wanted to talk, first lets talk about AI, what is AI, not the defination, but actually is AI, it may not be the ultimate intelligence but have some intelligence or atleast we can say, it know certain well known patterns, its ability comes in various sizes, but essentially now we a black box with some knobs, which be a better solution than hard coded flows, logics and if its imagined well, it can be really really useful but there is a flaw.We being extremists, we either think of its going to taking all the jobs or its just useless, there is another way to approach it.Think of it as intelligence layer available to you, but cur

Show HN: Scanner for cellular automata rule spacehttps://kypaku.github.io/pages/ca2026/Many years ago I was interested in cellular automata, inspired by Stephen Wolfram's work. I dug into elementary CA and totalistic 3-state rules. But when I went to more states it was getting boring. Almost all of them are dead or chaotic or something that everybody has already seen. But somewhere inside there could be another 110, and nobody looked.Now that we have AI coding, I decided I can build something in that area, and an app for scanning rules was the obvious thing. I implemented an explorer with a bunch of filters: gliders, chaos, large structures, and custom search. The last one works backwards — you draw a pattern and a rule passes only if this pattern never occurs. I could not define "interesting", but it was easy to say what disqualifies a rule. It also renders diagrams as big PNG.Demo: https://kypaku.github.io/pages/ca2026/ Source: https://github.com/Kypaku/ca2026

ASK HN: Why has technology become so unreliable?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49056900Even though I'm a software engineer with long experience with serious projects, I'm become so disillusioned with the whole thing nowadays.Forget the ridiculous AI hype, forget about the lack of ethics and a moral compass; What's getting to me right now is the unreliability of it all. It seems like everything is held together with duct tape, and the tape is falling off.Just in the last few months, all these have happened:- My Macbook Air M1 has been acting up, refusing to charge in a stable manner. The audio jack is dead because apparently it is linked to the charging circuit. The screen sometimes shows a tint on a whim. Now it is dead and not charging at all. Granted, it has otherwise been a fine machine so far, and I've knocked it over a few times, but still. Even my old trusty 2014 Macbook Pro is still going strong, and I've abused that one much more.- I also can't use my old Macbook Pro well, because the replacement Transcend 256GB SSD I put in it around 2020 is now failing, causing

The Cost of Seamlessnesshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49048352The Hidden Cost of Frictionless Technology Taotuner — 2026I recently asked an AI assistant for restaurant recommendations. It listed five places, complete with ratings, distance, and popular dishes. I picked one, went, had a fine meal. Later, when a friend asked what I'd eaten, I couldn't remember the name of the restaurant.The experience wasn't bad. It was frictionless. And it left almost no trace.We've built tools that eliminate the gap between want and satisfaction, question and answer, curiosity and resolution. We call it seamlessness. We've assumed it's progress. But the gap wasn't inefficiency — it was where memory, judgment, and understanding used to form.What if removing it is making us less capable?The Pattern This isn't just about restaurant recommendations. The same dynamic shows up across AI, therapy, cities, and education.Take AI assistants. The industry evaluates them on speed, accuracy, and satisfaction. Those metrics capture whether the tool works. They don't capture wh

Show HN: Cygnus – A fast, lightweight self-hostable serverless runtime and PaaShttps://cygnus.runI built Cygnus because of a long standing frustration with the compromises needed to be made when choosing a deployment option for web applications.The ecosystem is fragmented into a few distinct camps, each sacrificing user experience or runtime compatibility to balance isolation, startup latency, and their own profit margins.Docker: Heavier and slower because it has to supervise more than web apps. Paying overhead you don't need. MicroVM's: Good isolation, but huge maintenance surface area and substantial overhead. Great for untrusted code, overkill for your own apps. Workerd: Tries to dance around hardware isolation by enforcing an in-process V8 isolate model. Neutered runtime to prevent arbitrary syscall execution. Personally I still find the tradeoff worthwhile for their edge footprint, but I still find myself complaining about it from time to time. Vercel/Managed serverless: Delivers a great developer experience, uses microVM's which is good for compatibility but has a business m

Show HN: GlossaryPage – Turn customer questions into knowledge pageshttps://glossarypage.com/Hey HN, I built GlossaryPage after noticing companies have long-tail content opportunities that never get created because they fall between blog posts and documentation.The primary use case is marketing teams building glossaries and learning hubs around these topics. The same workflow also works for support teams creating help centers.GlossaryPage helps teams identify unanswered topics, generate drafts with AI, review content, and publish structured knowledge pages.Here is a demo site: https://glossary.glossarypage.comSome things I have been thinking about while building this:1. How to avoid creating more low-quality content?This is a challenge for anyone building AI content tools, and is something I'm working on. The product is focused on generating drafts, but users are responsible for reviewing and approving what gets published. My guess is that as AI systems improve at evaluating quality, there will be less value in publishing low-quality content.2. Why not just use an existing CMS

Show HN: Skim – a minimalist open-source email client for Windows (MIT)https://skim-tech.com/I built Skim because I was super dissatisfied with all existing Windows clients.I mean, it's not a rocket science, there should be some lightweight modern solution, isn't it? So I decided to create a client that just, you know, MAKES SENSE and has design younger than dinosaurs.Key points:* Obsessed with installer size: it should be under 5Mb.* BYOK AI. Cowriter, agentic search, summarization and other AI stuff is powered by your own key for Anthropic/Openrouter, or you can connect your own OpenAI-compatible server (including local)* No bloat. It should be as contextual as possible: gives you right button when you need it. No menu at all. No integrations. Just email.* Instant startup, super modest on resources* Cool warm zine design with paper colors and really calming vibesIt's MIT - contribution and stars are welcome!

Launch HN: Screenpipe (YC S26) – Record how you work and turn that into agentshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49024620Hi Hacker News, I'm Louis. I built Screenpipe (https://screenpipe.com), an app that records your screen and audio locally (only!), and gives AI agents a searchable memory of what you've seen, said, and heard. This makes it easier to automate your repetitive tasks, turn them into SOPs (Standard Operating Procedure) and so on.I made a HN-style demo video at https://www.tella.tv/video/build-your-ai-second-brain-with-s... and there’s a marketing video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1jV6E9pyug.I’ve been obsessed with this for a long time. I’ve been maintaining a “second brain” since 2020, in which I would store journals, handwritten notes, music I listen to, projects I'm working on, conversations I have with people, personal CRM etc. I experimented a lot of RAG in the early days with ParlAI, hundreds of fine-tuned GPT2 models, and GPT3 (https://forum.obsidian.md/t/fine-tuning-openai-api-gpt3-on-y...). Later I built Ava, the first Obsidian AI plugin, which grew to a few thousands of use

Show HN: Chrome Plugin to Scan HN Page Quickly. (Categorize with Local Model)https://github.com/prabhic/hn-quick-scanRecently I started spending more time reading HN posts, and engaging. Wanted to scan HN pages faster ,that rosonates to me.For me it is easy to grasp if they are in the order of software stack (Hardware, System, Infrastructure, apps, and so on ).Built this chrome plugin that uses Gemini model, to classify. It works but, classification still not great. It is built using claude code cli.on my Mac book pro, Gemini nano model loading takes around 11 seconds, and classification it self takes around 5 seconds. (if sub classification enabled it adds 6 more seconds approx). Model loaded in background thread. And unloads, if not used after 30 seconds. I would say still not pretty usable, without optimized classification time, but it works, to experiment with.
