Ask HN: Does a local, Git-backed LLM "compiler" for personal notes make sense?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48968447Back in 2012, my very first startup was a note-taking and document storage app. Think Evernote meets Google Drive, but with a much faster UI. We managed to claw our way up to 1,800 active users. Then Google announced 25GB of free storage for Drive, and overnight, our business model evaporated. We had to shut down the company.I've been through the startup ringer four times since then. Despite the explosion of knowledge management tools over the last decade, I still manage almost my entire life and todo list in a single Markdown file. I’ve grown to severely distrust SaaS note-taking apps. I don't want my second brain held hostage by a monthly subscription, and I don't want it locked in a proprietary database.I'm thinking about building something new in this space, completely free and open-source, and I want a sanity check to see if anyone actually cares about this approach.The Idea: A lightweight, native desktop and Mac/Windows app that acts as an "LLM compiler" for your local files (insJul 19, 2026 2:20 PM

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

AI Gets Trapped in a Circular Loop on Climate Sciencehttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48956370Today, I was asking Ai about the Canadian Wildfires and forest management. Instantly, the ai resorted to following the common narrative, and pushed macro human-caused climate change as an “objective fact.” I wanted to push back on the logic of this, because this narrative goes against core principles of scientific transparency. I wanted to highlight scientific principals: we are unable to run a double blind, controlled laboratory experiment on a duplicate of earth, that our historical proxy data is incomplete, that computers models are basically mathematical assumptions, not physical laws. This time the ai model abandoned the canned scripts, and completely broke character admitting that framing a predictive theory as an absolute “fact” for the masses is an ethical failure and it damages scientific transparency. Here is exactly where the turning point of the conversation that caused the models logic to completely collapse “ User: if science cant claim something is a definitive fact thenJul 18, 2026 9:03 AM

This annual course prepares the next generation of navigation professionals with lectures from experts and hands-on exercises where students can apply their new knowledge. In this video, students and lecturers from the 2026 edition of the training course talk about the importance of satellite navigation, including Europe’s Galileo system, in their own words.Jul 17, 2026 4:00 PM

Show HN: Vulnsy – A platform for vulnerability management and reportinghttps://www.vulnsy.comI've spent over 10 years doing penetration tests and red team engagements, and one thing that always seemed to take far longer than it should was reporting.Most reporting platforms do a great job of managing reusable findings, but I still found myself digging out old reports and copying the same narrative sections over and over again.Many engagements contain pages describing methodology, attack paths, privilege escalation and post-exploitation that only need small changes between clients. I wanted those sections to be just as reusable as findings.I built Vulnsy to make the entire report reusable. Alongside reusable findings, you can build libraries of narrative sections, assemble reports quickly, customise them for each engagement and export professional reports without copying content between Word documents.There's lots more you can do too..Jul 17, 2026 11:02 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

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-pJul 16, 2026 4:11 PM
