Claude Is Painfulhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48964237I cannot be the only person who feels this way. Claude is antogonistic and frankly an absolute nightmare to use. SLOW is an understatement... I get faster output from a 16GB mac mini using deepseek 8B model....and not much worse output...I ask Gemini something. I get a response in 10 seconds and its long and well detailed. I ask claude, it wastes my tokens talking to itself, makes insulting stupid and frankly rude shortcuts that have no basis in reason except for Anthropics profits...Its unuseable. It will just cough up a half complete reaponse, deciding to strip everything out of value...place nothing useful in, leave half finished files and then worst of all...it doesnt even putput them and leaves them in its own private memory...until you ask for them explocitly and it regenerates rhem again at full cost....its just pure fraud. No further notes. Thoughts?Jul 19, 2026 1:38 AM

Show HN: OpenCareLoop - Solve your family's health, one loop at a time.https://karankurani.github.io/OpenCareLoop/Hi HN -Like everyone, I have been using LLMs for managing my family's health and especially in understanding more in depth about the personal health issue for me and my loved ones.I ended up creating an agent to manage the long term history of each member. I use it to manage or solve medical issues. I use it multiple times a week for anything related to health.The alpha version can be downloaded here - https://karankurani.github.io/OpenCareLoop/It differs from the regular ChatGPT / Claude projects in that there are proper workflows to process and add structure your healthcare data. It has a "loop" that allows you to make changes in your lifestyle/medication/habits and track it. It is way more effective over a period of time compared to using general AI chat.Some of the stuff that it has helped with so far in no particular order - solve a long running chronic pain of a parent, manage pain levels of another parent, change decisions related to IVF that reduced the number of scans needed, Jul 18, 2026 4:17 PM

Show HN: Turn a Suno song into a music video with beat-synced auto-editinghttps://aivideogenerator.so/I make songs with Suno, but turning them into videos used to take me days of editing, so I built a tool to automate the whole process.You just paste a Suno or FlowMusic link—or upload your own audio—and add a photo of the singer.The tool analyzes the song’s beat and structure, plans out the shots, generates the visuals, turns them into video clips, and lip-syncs the singing scenes. It then cuts everything into short 1–3 second shots that match the beat.Editing was definitely the hardest part. A 10-second AI-generated clip is rarely usable from start to finish, so the tool picks out the best moments, slices them up, and reuses them throughout the video.It currently takes a few minutes to make a video, the maximum resolution is 720p, and crowd scenes can still look a little strange.The free credits are enough to make one full video, and you don’t need a credit card. I’d really appreciate feedback on the editing—that’s the part I’m still least confident about.Jul 18, 2026 1:14 PM

Show HN: PrintBlocks – API and MCP server for your thermal printerhttps://gian-reto.github.io/print-blocks/I have been dreaming of a local assistant without a screen or chat window as an interface for a long time. An agent I could just speak to to research a topic or keep me updated. Unfortunately, it turns out audio is not a suitable output medium for every use case, e.g. a news briefing, an email inbox digest, a recipe or many other things. So I built PrintBlocks: a self-hosted service that exposes an API and an (optional) MCP server. Simply hook up your OpenClaw or Hermes agent (or whatever agent harness you're using) via MCP. It can compose the content and layout, then send the finished result to your thermal printer, all by itself!The surprising part is how good LLMs are at this. Ask for a morning briefing, and a few seconds later you can have a beautifully designed little document sitting next to your coffee. PrintBlocks gives the agent a set of reusable and flexible building blocks, so it can be creative without messing up the formatting or just printing boring text.The MCP server isJul 17, 2026 10:04 PM

Previous clients have come from friend of a friend networking. I've thought about VC firms, but I'm not sure if an advisor/investor would refer their founder because there could be some stigma. Other ideas I have is reaching out to peer groups like Hampton, YPO etc. I know exits, wind-downs, and departure suck and can sometimes destabilize founders on an identity level or parts of their life (health/wealth/relationships)Any recommendations?If you did therapy how did you find your therapist?

Show HN: OSS Pi Agent for Slack and Linearhttps://github.com/brainwavesio/pi-digbyWe've been using a now-discontinued version of pi-mom from the pi monorepo for a few months now. Digby is a slackbot which you can also assign Linear issues to. It has a private (Sign In with Slack, locked to your team) wiki and can serve raw assets. It's pi, so it's self-modifying and self-improving.This isn't enterprise-grade, super secure stuff, but really a pi session anyone can use and one can works really well. Out of the box it deploys (and redeploys itself when PRs merge) itself to AWS on a small container. Runs on Claude Sonnet on Bedrock, but can use any Bedrock model easily. If you give it a Github token it'll open PRs to your codebase on its own behalf (or whoever owns the token -- very much advise you give it its own account). It can sign you into MCPs, and open its own browsers using Browser Use. Most importantly, it's very easy to fork and extend and make your own.We've been slowly improving a lot of the sharp edges the original pi-mom came with, to the point it's usableJul 17, 2026 6:14 AM

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 Jul 17, 2026 3:06 AM

Ask HN: How do you handle ticket management across Discord, GitHub, and email?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48942806we run a discord server with our Github, forum and email. i am curious how fellow HNs handle ticket management and issue tracking across multiple support channels and connect wit their internal docs. For example users will report same bug in different channels, this will increase the work load on the devs, and as to the company whole. So i have some questions in my mind: 1. What help desk software are you guys using 2. how do you track duplicate issues 3. Has any one used Claude or any automated ticket system. and did it work or just cause more issues. I ask this because we are adding discord in my platform, and are searching if its the right move or not. and what platforms should we include.Jul 17, 2026 2:38 AM
