Ask HN: Have your coding agents finished work you no longer wanted?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49409147Sometimes I start several coding agents at the same time, each working on a different task. I just let them go and don’t watch them closely.The problem is that I may change my mind later but forget that one of the agents is still working toward the old goal. A couple of hours later, it submit a patch with all tests passing and reports that the job is done. But when I check the result, I find that it has finished implementing a plan I had already abandoned.Has anyone else who uses multiple coding agents run into this? How do you handle agents that keep working after your plan changes? Do you cancel them manually, use a shared task list to track the current work, or simply work out during final review?How do you distinguish between “an agent run has finished successfully” and “the actual work is done”?Aug 23, 2026 2:30 PM

Show HN: Self-Hosted Social Media Agents with Raspberry Pihttps://www.microphone.computer/A while back I posted about a project I was working on for a real-time voice agent that runs ads on Meta to build conviction and prioritize side gig/business ideas (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48900788); you yammer away and it automates market research, problem statements and hypotheses. I've been working with some folks from HN on the app since then.What we've been focused on building is a modern solo-founder GTM tool -- figuring out how to triangulate aspiration, problems only you can solve, and organic distribution in one solution. So, not building apps; but rather helping you figure out what you like and then connect you with the right people that can help you on your journey and find the communities to help you distribute it.For the latter, I was impressed by the recent Grok bot launch; but didn't want Elon accessing all of our accounts to train on -- so I set-up dockerized social media agents that run at home on a Raspberry Pi. They'll do the same job as Grok for this buAug 23, 2026 2:24 PM

Ask HN: Will AI trigger mass IP protectionism in software?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49408691One of the reasons AI is so "good" at software development is that it is trained on a snapshot of a large corpus of already solved software problems.In the future, wouldn't that make anyone who produces original code become more cautious of sharing it, being aware that it will just be fed into the "hive mind" and they'll never get any attribution or financial gain out of it?Or has the value of code, tools and software become so cheap it doesn't really matter anymore?Aug 23, 2026 1:24 PM

Show HN: Rmp, a Subsonic music player for generating playlists on the flyhttps://github.com/codesoap/rmpWhen listening to music, I often don't play whole albums, but string together songs that capture my current mood. In the past, I've written a tool that records my hearings and generates suggestions from my usual listening patterns[1] and used it with some scripts around mpd. This made my way of listening to music easier and worked decently, but I wished I could also sync and use this with my phone.Recently I've discovered Subsonic, a protocol for music servers and players. It caught my eye, because it supports "scrobbling" (apparently the common term for "recording hearings") and generating similar-song-lists. Pretty much exactly what I had been doing and many music players support this feature to create "instant playlists". With a little bit of hacking[2], it was easy to integrate my existing, collected hearing patterns into a Subsonic server.While I found a decent Subsonic client for my phone, I didn't find a terminal music player that worked for my style of listening. So I wrote rmpAug 23, 2026 1:00 PM
