How Google decided to Destroy its Search Monopolyhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48945074This is a bit of a rant, yet it's one I think is rightly deserved.Over the last several months, Google has exploded with:* extreme delays in rendering search results* popups of captcha + prove you're human, for simple searches* extreme delays in doing anything after hitting enter on searchInstead of taking 100ms or less to return search results, it now takes 5+ seconds, 10+ seconds sometimes. Often with a captcha in between.This 100% isn't me. I've noticed these changes, discussed with others, and it's happening to people across a wide swath of industry, and situations. Co-workers at home. Elderly parents. People at workplaces. The list goes on.This is worst at night, and of course that's when I tend to work the most. It's so bad, that once I see that first captcha, I just switch to Bing. Yes, Bing. Kagi works, but from where I sit its results have been sliding and slipping, sadly. I don't know what they've been focusing on at Kagi recently, but it's not what it once was. Likely, relia

Router ARP/NAT contradict after reload. Client ghost or firmware bug?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48942957I have a Keenetic Extra DSL router. I configured a static DHCP reservation so that my ESP32-W5500 device (MAC: de:ad:be:ef:fe:01) always receives 192.168.1.114. There's a MAC-based port forwarding rule for port 80, and a defined [subdomain].keenetic.pro points to this device as well.After a soft-restart, port forwarding silently breaks for WAN traffic. The rule appears active in the panel, but incoming connections from the outside just time out.This has recurred consistently across multiple soft-reload events over several months, with a different "ghost" IP each time (.100, .101, .102).From the local network, however, I can always reach the client on its assigned static IP (.114) without any interruption. And here's the kicker: if I simply disable and re-enable the port forwarding rule from the router's interface, the problem vanishes instantly and external WAN access comes right back.The weird part: during an outage, when I look at the router's own diagnostic tools, the ARP table and

NASA Study Finds Near-Earth Asteroid Is Actually Comethttps://www.nasa.gov/solar-system/comets/nasa-study-finds-near-earth-asteroid-is-actually-comet/New research led by scientists at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California has revealed the identity of a puzzling near-Earth object by precisely tracking its motion through space and using powerful observatories that image faint celestial objects. This object has a dual personality: Past images hadn’t revealed obvious cometlike activity, suggesting it might be […]

Show HN: Ratel, give agents unlimited tools and skills without context bloathttps://github.com/ratel-ai/ratelHi HN! We're Giacomo and Roberto, authors of Ratel (https://github.com/ratel-ai/ratel)We used to help SaaS companies build agents on top of their products. Whenever we wanted to expand the agents’ complexity/scope, by adding more and more tools and instructions, we always run in the same issue: context bloat, with frequent hallucinations and sky high token bills. So we started constantly engineering the agents, dynamically loading tools, splitting them into subagents, inventing our own way to support skillsAnd that's exactly when we started building Ratel: a library to let your agent keep its full catalog of tools and skills, but progressively disclosing only the few that actually matter for each turn. Now you can grow your agent's capabilities without breaking it or taking out a loan for itPeople are already using it in production, with a user cutting their token cost up to 81% in the first month without compromising the accuracyWe support both keyword and semantic retrieval, all in-p

Show HN: I've built tldraw for HTML and Markdown pages (with encryption)https://pastehex.dev/Hello, HN!This is a small app I've built to satisfy three pains/wishes I've had for a while and I think there might be people out there who can benefit from it as well.1. I want to pop up a new tab, start writing my thoughts and, maybe, share them over the internet. As fast as I can and with as little friction possible. tldraw totally does this for drawing stuff in a whiteboard but for text, Obsidian is a local tool that requires installing and Notion is too involved. I want a simple link that just works the moment you navigate to the page.2. Sometimes I wanted to share code or other text artifacts with customers over Discord, but the platform caps messages to a certain length before it forces you to submit a .txt. Pastebin kinda fills this gap but it's an old site and it doesn't handle BIG pastes very well also it doesn't double as your own document vault (plus I don't care about all their "public pastes" thing).3. This is a recent one. Now, due to AI tools, everyone is sharing Markdo

Show HN: Pokayoke – turn code conventions into checks for agentshttps://pokayoke.codesHey HN,Something I've been tinkering with in the background is a system to manage the "messy-middle" of TypeScript toolchains. Quite often, when I'm using Biome or any of the other linter / formatters, there will be repo conventions that I want to enforce (especially with AI agents), but which aren't supported by them, such as:- Enforcing lines-of-code limits in modules - Never using custom TailWind colors - Only using lowercase underscores in filenamesLike, this is quite "random" but also bread-and-butter stuff that it's easy to think or talk about when you're working by yourself or with a few other human teammates, but I've found that agents consistently miss these conventions if I put them in an AGENTS.md file for example.I wanted to make my esoteric repo conventions less stochastic, and more deterministic. I realised that agents are adept at writing the kind of code needed to run arbitrary checks on the TypeScript AST or workspace environment -- the kind of code that is cumbersome

Thinking: Alternate Distribution for Filmmakershttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48931604This idea did not in anyway start with the intention of distribution. In my 20s there were a group of 12 of us, who shared a whatsapp group and every thursday, we had a standing appointment to decide and watch the interesting movie for the week.Over the years as life happens and folks got married, moved, priorities shifted, that ritual that almost lasted a decade fell apart.During the pandemic, given that most of us had a VR headset, we reconnected and started watching movies together - we'd setup a shared stream and would have a google chat going on the side, so that we can hear each other while the movie played.VR has been surprisingly good to recreate that theatrical atmosphere - but the worst bit is sitting in a virtual cinema as the only person. Dimming the lights out (within the virtual environment so that you don't see the empty chairs) and having a video call where we can hear each other on one of the ears, kinda felt a bit like the gang was back together.Even if it hasn't been

Curiosity Finds Evidence of an Ancient Sandstormhttps://science.nasa.gov/photojournal/curiosity-finds-evidence-of-an-ancient-sandstorm/Description Billions of years ago, an hours-long Martian sandstorm blew so intensely that sand ripples began to climb upon one another as they moved across the surface. These layers of sediment eventually hardened into the multilayered rocks seen in this image, which was taken by NASA’s Curiosity rover on Dec. 12, 2024, the 4,391st Martian […]

Show HN: OtoDock, run Claude Code and Codex as a team of agents on your serverhttps://github.com/OtoDock/oto-dock/Hi HN, i am Dimitris,I have been using Claude Code and Codex agents, for some time now from the beggining i had been using them from inside my terminal mainly for coding.For the past 3 years i kept building so i have a homelab and a business server, which already has a lot of vms, so a lot of things to manage.So i decided to start building my own ideal version of using claude code, and codex flexibly and connect them easily with all my vms and infra but at the same time keep using them for coding, and as a personal assistant for daily use.So for the past months I built OtoDock. Its a self hosted platform, that runs real CLaude code and Codex as the engine. On top of them i build a live dashboard with websockets and integrated in depth the clis, so its even nicer to work with the cli through the dashboard instead of working on the terminal. I even ended up integrating interactive terminals as well (due to the subscription change Anthropic was trying to do for harnesses) so you can also

Show HN: Running server scripts from smartphone via SSHhttps://c100k.eu/p/rebootx/updates/20260714-remote-runbooksI've added Remote Runbooks to RebootX, a mobile app for managing cloud and on-prem infrastructure, available on iOS and Android (freemium).The idea is simple: when PagerDuty wakes you up, many incidents boil down to executing the same sequence of SSH commands or operational steps. Instead of opening a laptop, you can execute a predefined runbook directly from your phone.Very usefyl when you're on the go.The scripts are retrieved from the server at `/usr/local/sbin/rebootx/runbooks`, also via SSH. If a script is prefixed with `__` (2 underscores), it's considered dangerous and the app warns you about it and ask for confirmation before executing it.Some will argue that with the perfect infra, you don't have to do all of this. By experience, none of us have the perfect infra so SSH-ing into the server (e.g VPS) is often required.Happy to hear about your feedback or ideas of improvement.

Ask HN: PhDs, how have you organized your research visits?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48906413Hi HN! Using a throwaway account but looking for advice from people having done research visits as PhD students, especially in terms of funding/accommodation/whether such an experience is worth the cost.I'm a second-year PhD candidate in France, working in NLP. In January I contacted a professor from another university in the Netherlands to ask about a research visit opportunity -- I did this because both my university and hers were part of a funding program for research visits. We had a call and she was very interested in my topic and the potential help I could give for her project (and I'm also very interested in what she's working on).I applied to this funding but my application was rejected because my university told me I should apply to another funding program specific to the university. I did that in March, but things have been going downhill, as the person who is supposed to deal with the applications left, and everything's mostly been on standby since. Thus, I haven't received

Show HN: I MitM'd Plex to make remote streaming suck lesshttps://github.com/inhumantsar/plex-proxy/I've been hoarding media for a long time. Longer than I care to think about honestly. At this point the collection is large enough that several of the friends and family members I've shared my Plex server with have cancelled their streaming service subscriptions.After getting laid off a while back, I started working on a degree online. It seemed like a good opportunity to spend some time traveling too, so I signed up for Starlink and got a friend to host my Plex server in his basement for the duration. Surely that would be good enough to watch whatever from where-ever.Turns out that no, it's not. Plex really doesn't like streaming over Starlink. It would top out at 8-9mbps in good conditions, often dropping down to 2 or 3, while other streams and downloads would happily hum along at 100mbps+.I spent a little time looking into the issue early on. None of the remote or server network changes I could think of made a noticable difference. Customizing Plex's internal MPV configuration to in

Show HN: Duiduidui is a new Chinese dictionary and flashcard apphttps://duiduidui.app/en/Hello everyone! I'm a solo developer, and intermediate Chinese learner, and I just launched a new Chinese app I want to share with you.My own Chinese language study stack used to be Pleco (and Goog Translate) for dictionary lookups, and then Anki for flashcard reviews, with a lot of manual copy-pasting in between. Which worked... okay. But the two sides never talked to each other. Pleco doesn't know what I'm studying, and Anki doesn't know anything about Chinese. So it treats 好吃 and 好 as totally unrelated cards, even though getting one right obviously tells you something about the other.So I built duiduidui! (对对对), which is basically those two tools fused together, with a study engine that actually models how Chinese is structured:- A dictionary with 200k+ entries, always available/searchable offline (characters, words, phrases, sample sentences, speech audio) where everything is linked. Every character links to the words it appears in, and the radicals it's built from, so you can (for
