Show HN: Detail, a Bug Finderhttps://detail.dev/Hi HN, tl;dr we built a bug finder that's working really well, especially for app backends. Try it out and send us your thoughts!Long story below.--------------------------We originally set out to work on technical debt. We had all seen codebases with a lot of debt, so we had personal grudges about the problem, and AI seemed to be making it a lot worse.Tech debt also seemed like a great problem for AI because: 1) a small portion of the work is thinky and strategic, and then the bulk of the execution is pretty mechanical, and 2) when you're solving technical debt, you're usually trying to preserve existing behavior, just change the implementation. That means you can treat it as a closed-loop problem if you figure out good ways to detect unintended behavior changes due to a code change. And we know how to do that – that's what tests are for!So we started with writing tests. Tests create the guardrails that make future code changes safer. Our thinking was: if we can test well enough, we cDec 9, 2025 5:35 PM

I changed my address, and TransferWise in two days will empty my accounthttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46083321I have a UK one-man company, through which I work as an IT contractor.Recently, I changed the address.TransferWise then KYCed, and requires;1. A bank statement.2. A utility bill.There are no other bank accounts, and it's a one-man company; there's no rental, no phone bill, no water bill - there is a server bill, for the server the company web-site is on, and this TransferWise have refused.To date, TransferWise stated in their communications that if I could not prove the address, the account would become emit-only; I could not pay money in.I have just received a message from TransferWise that in two days, all funds in the account will be refunded.This is wholly different to what was said before, and I'm not clear about what it means : refunded? to whom? me? to those who paid in the funds?This message from TransferWise has come Friday evening. It seems to me if I now move funds out of the account to other bank accounts, this will not occur over the weekend, and so not until Monday morninNov 28, 2025 10:24 PM

Show HN: Memory System Hitting 80.1% Accuracy on LoCoMo (Built in 4.5 Months)https://github.com/vac-architector/VAC-Memory-SystemI’ve been working on an independent memory-retrieval architecture for agent systems. I don’t have a CS background — previously worked climbing cell towers and doing handyman jobs — but I spent the last 4.5 months building a hybrid memory system from scratch.The system combines FAISS, BM25, and a symbolic ranking layer (MCA). Answers are generated with GPT-4o-mini at temperature 0. The focus is determinism, transparency, and reproducibility rather than model size.On the official LoCoMo benchmark (1,540 questions), the system reaches 80.1% average accuracy. To my knowledge, that’s above the publicly reported results for existing agent-memory stacks using small models.Latency is ~2.5 seconds, and cost is ~$0.10 per 1M tokens. Memory is fully isolated and local, which makes it usable for offline or enterprise applications.Repository (code + full reproducible benchmarking): https://github.com/vac-architector/VAC-Memory-SystemHappy to answer technical questions, discuss the architecture, or Nov 25, 2025 5:25 PM

Show HN: Ilseon, a Minimalist Focus Filterhttps://github.com/cladam/ilseonI’m excited to share a new productivity app I recently released on the Play Store. It was born out of pure necessity to solve a problem I am constantly faced with: cognitive overload and task paralysis.Since traditional to-do apps only added to the mental noise, I eventually built a small tool for myself called Ilseon. I needed something that would actually reduce cognitive load.I have added some features that helps me in my daily chaos:Context filtering: I work better when I only see what belongs to the role I’m currently in (Work, Family, Health, etc.). Switching context hides everything else, which stops me from bouncing between unrelated tasks or getting overwhelmed by a big master list.Time blocks with a big visible countdown: This externalises time for me in a way alarms or calendars never did. It gives me one clear block to focus on, and the timer helps with time blindness without being stressful. Still figuring out if adding alarms is a good idea or not..A quick reflection loopNov 23, 2025 8:17 PM
