Ask HN: Research vs. Founding a Tech Startup?Engineering + math graduate whose goal is to maximize impact. I am currently deciding between two career paths, but have been struggling a lot to determine which would be more impactful:1. Become a professor/researcher in robotics, working on mainstream technical problems such as zero-shot learning. (To be clear, I’m not primarily thinking about robotics safety or AI safety, but rather general robotics capabilities research.)2. Try to found “low-sophistication” hard-tech startups — i.e. products that are not extremely technically sophisticated and could easily be prototyped in a local makerspace, meaning any wannabe hard-tech founder could easily make it.Note: For personal and practical reasons, it is unlikely that I would found a highly sophisticated hard-tech company, i.e. one that requires advanced fabrication / other specialized technologies.TLDR: Has anyone here faced or thought seriously about a similar decision? If so, how did you decide where you had more counterfactual impact?

Value for Money Is All You NeedValue For Money is All You NeedA reflection on the future of token consumption in artificial intelligenceToken consumption now sits at the center of the growing use of artificial intelligence by businesses and individuals alike.The "TokenMaxxing" trapIn the early days, the trend was to maximize token consumption from proprietary LLMs, regardless of cost — a practice seen as a marker of performance for the user, the employee, or the company. This phenomenon, known as "TokenMaxxing," reportedly exhausted Uber's entire annual budget in under a year.Faced with the enormous financial cost this TokenMaxxing generated, many companies and individuals turned to lower-cost LLMs to preserve their budgets — fueling the rise of Chinese open-source LLMs such as DeepSeek, in line with Harvard professor Clayton Christensen's theory that disruptive innovation can conquer a market through low prices.Users thus found themselves facing a dilemma: choose a highly capable but token-expensive proprietary mod

Show HN: Opthash – Rust implementations of Elastic and Funnel hashingI first came across the paper “Optimal Bounds for Open Addressing Without Reordering” through a Quanta Magazine YouTube video a few months back. I went looking for an official implementation and couldn’t find one, so I decided to try implementing the paper's Elastic Hashing and Funnel Hashing in Rust.To that end, I build opthash, a Rust library providing ElasticHashMap and FunnelHashMap implementations (and more recently HashSet variants). They are at API parity with std::collections::HashMap and HashSet.Initially, the data layout was a relatively straightforward implementation of the paper, with levels and buckets represented as nested structs that each managed their own allocation. Later, I moved to a flatter arena layout with one allocation for the backing control/data regions, and smaller descriptor structs holding pointers and metadata for each level. That ended up being noticeably faster. The intuition I went for is to arrange control bytes contiguously to maximize cache locality

Show HN: Browse 61 3D Printable RobotsRobotics is advancing really fast lately, with AI inference, different controllers, software, and parts always changing. I wanted a place that supports many device types, Raspberry Pi, NVDA Jetson, Arduino, ESP32, hardware sources, and maximizes for printability. Instructables, Github, and Thingiverse are currently popular but aren't really focused on robotics, So I built orobot.io to try and make printing robots as standardized and accessible as possible. It uses a lot of Agent built content custom to each project, and every project is designed to be used by humans or your agent.Features:- Photos and Estimated Prices for all projects- Links back to source GitHub projects- LLMs write descriptions and tips on how to build- View + Download 3d printable STL files in browser- BOM purchase links are kept up to date with LLMs checking Amazon link health- LLMs write Javascript install and controller wrappers custom to each project so a single one-click install works across many frameworks and

Ask HN: What funding models exist for a search engine?Let's say I wanted to build a web scraper + search engine product that did not feature ads at all. What other funding models exist? How viable are they?In particular, what if you sold anonymized data about trends/insights into consumer behavior to other businesses? At scale, is it conceivable that such a strategy would be profitable?Under this model, the search results would be incentivized to be as accurate as possible. There would be incentives against influencing rankings to maximize profits (which differs from the classic display ads and the Google Ad Words models) because you would want your understanding of consumer behavior to be as untainted as possible.Thoughts?

Show HN: Polymorph (YC W26) – AI personalization for consumer app engagementhi! we're andrew, david, and manas, 3 engineers & ex-roommates. previously, we built things like meta’s self-serve ads platform, scale ai’s ml inference infra, and more.we’re building Polymorph, which uses AI to help consumer and self-serve apps send the right message at the right time, through the right channel, to maximize conversion.right now, if consumer apps want to send push notifications or emails to users, they have to write manual queries and build user segments themselves. even then, the message can only get so personalized.this sucks for both sides:1. end user gets content that's irrelevant or not helpful 2. builders annoy their users and then they churnPolymorph is bringing targeting tech that's already in big tech to everyone.in a few clicks, you could connect your existing analytics stack (PostHog, Datadog, Amplitude, etc), we then build per-user profiles that highlight when they're active, what features they like, and more, our AI agents then decide which channel and tim

Show HN: I built a S3 proxy that combines storage from S3/clouds into one targetI wanted offsite copies of my nomad cluster backups without paying. So I started thinking about how to maximize free S3 storage from multiple providers. What if I could just stack them all together and treat them as one big bucket? I started hacking out a simple proxy and then I was having fun, so I kept building. My weekend project turned into what is basically a fully production-ready S3 orchestration service. You configure multiple S3-compatible backends (AWS, OCI, Backblaze, R2, MinIO, whatever), set a quota on each one, and the orchestrator presents them to your apps as a single S3 endpoint. Clients just sees one bucket with no idea files are being spread across multiple s3 providersWhat makes it useful:- Combine free tiers — set per-backend quotas to match each provider's free limit and the proxy fills them in order (pack mode) or evenly (spread mode). 10GB + 10GB + 10GB = 30GB of free offsite storage- Multi-cloud replication — set replication.factor: 2 and every object automatic

Show HN: RAG Architecture for optimizing retrieval volume/relevancy tradeoffWe propose a RAG architecture that uses hierarchical semantic chunking and graph-based context exclusion to maximize relevant information while minimizing the total volume of retrieved context.The system recursively splits documents into a hierarchical tree structure and dynamically selects the most optimally-sized chunk from each branch by identifying and excluding redundant ancestors and descendants during the search process.This approach ensures a higher relevant-to-total information ratio by retrieving diverse segments from across the document without including overlapping or nested chunks

Show HN: Gnoke Station – A WebOS for Industrial and IoT DashboardsWhen you first open Gnoke Station, you're greeted by... well, almost nothing. A clean desktop, a terminal, an app store, desktop settings, and silence. We understand why our previous post led to comments about the minimalism.Our mistake was not making the core architectural intent clear. The empty screen isn't a lack of features—it's the feature.The Philosophy of an Empty Desktop Gnoke Station is a browser-based Web Operating System—a lightweight runtime environment, not a desktop clone. We built it for those who need a modular, minimal canvas they can fully control, specifically in industrial, IoT, and dashboard contexts.The emptiness is a design choice to minimize overhead and maximize extensibility. Instead of wrestling with a bundled, heavy general-purpose OS, the user (or manufacturer) starts with a near-zero state and only loads the components they need.Why Gnoke Station is a WebOS for Makers The core value lies in the architecture, not the initial icons:* Modular for Integrators

Show HN: City-aware PTO optimizer with block/prefer day constraintsCorrect link is here → https://somniaplanner.com/en/barcelona/2026.I built SomniaPlanner, a web app that maximizes your time off by aligning PTO with city-level public holidays and weekends.What’s different: (1) you can mark block (must-work) and prefer (must-take) days as hard constraints—the optimizer must satisfy them. (2) A linear calendar view for planning fans.Why: this was a first step toward a parental-leave planner for Spain; PTO planning lets me validate the constraint UX and solver.How: a client-side dynamic programming algorithm enumerates feasible ranges and scores them by days-off/PTO, with a small balance term to trade off one long streak versus several shorter breaks.
