DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731
>I don't know why this is so hard for HN to understand. There are businesses other than FAANG. I don't know why this is so hard for FAANG employees to understand.
The Life and Death of Direct File [pdf]
I was not a fan of Direct File (I think it could have been much better!) but it was objectively in the success bucket: - ~$50M all-in to build which sounds egregious but is small for a government project - mostly good outcomes - ~4y to pilot which also sounds egregious for a single moderate-complexity web app but agai…
Show HN: Remarc – provide more contextual and structured feedback to AI agents
Like any side project, Remarc started with my own problem: there was no good way to give AI coding agents contextual feedback on their own output. There are plenty of tools for collaborating with humans, but surprisingly few for collaborating with AI. Chat was not cutting it for the feedback I wanted to give: This thi…
Show HN: Manthan a MCP server to store Concept cards with prerequisite links
I generally am a forgetful person who remembers very little of what is read sometime ago. I also tried using many of tools related to hardcoded flashcards but they may not present the full picture. I can't share it with my friends about what i am learning easily without signin up. manthan solves for that. I can cre…
Health benefits of Tai Chi
Tai Chi is interested. It's essentially a standing form of yoga. IMO, in theory it's even more useful for desk workers than yoga. If you look at the history of Ashtanga Yoga, it was primarily developed for the traditional life. Where even non-laborers spent a significant amount of time on their feet and moving around.…
Does anyone run Postgres without PgBouncer?
Totally agree. Postgres core should include connection pooling by default, and PgBouncer is probably the natural path to get there. With PgBouncer addressing one of its biggest historical pain points - prepared statement support in transaction mode, in our managed Postgres offering, we’re increasingly seeing customers…
Show HN: I shrank DeepSeek V4 Flash to 57GB and it wrote a compiler on my Mac
I built a specialized package of DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731 (originally 284B total parameters, 13B active), preserving reasoning, tool calling and coding capabilities: https://huggingface.co/steadfastgaze/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731-... I let it write a minimal C compiler targeting ARM64, then test the resu…
I've build a source of real fake data
Hello guys. I want to interest You guys in a tool I've been working on for a last few months - real-fake-data generator. https://real-fake-data.com The basic need it covers is to deliver test data that is (1) identical to the real data but not real, (2) make sure Your pipelines will catch real life problems…
Ask HN: What tools are you using for human code review of AI-assisted code?
A good proportion of us and our colleagues are now churning out agent-assisted code at an incredible rate, with some of it that is actually good, and a lot that is not so good. I'm personally finding that the real quality gate for our projects is now how thoroughly the generated code was human reviewed to ensure that…
Show HN: A punch clock to help with hourly household workers
My wife & I have a housekeeper who works flexible days and hours during the week. She has other commitments, so she comes to our house when it works best for her, within “agreed reasonable hours” (she doesn’t come on the weekends, or before 8am). Both of us are usually working in our home offices when she shows up, so…
Depleted strategic oil reserve nears level that raises concerns about damage
This is the only explanation that makes sense to me. It must be endlessly amusing to Putin that he has been successful in achieving a true 'Manchurian Candidate', and is now sitting back and eating popcorn as he watches the complete destruction of the United States of America. Why is this so hard for people to accept?
Show HN: AlertChecker – get emailed when a plain-English statement comes true
I built AlertChecker to help address a limitation with AI chatbots - they only respond when you've asked them something. You talk to them and they talk back. I wanted a way for them to tell you something of interest another time, when you're not even in a conversation. For example, type a statement like "the iPhone 16…
Show HN: Velorn – an open-source desktop video editor with MCP agent control
Hi HN, I’m Jaime. I’m a VFX artist with over 20 years of experience, and I’ve been building Velorn as a solo developer. Velorn is a GPLv3 desktop video editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It has a multi track video/audio timeline and works as a normal editor without any AI generation setup. You can import exist…
Wayland, Pipewire, Open Source Slowly Closing?
I am kinda depressed over these factors. I have used linux since 2015 and really never ran into problems until the past five years. I am a composer with a prolithic output; and had a steady workflow for most of the years until musegroup bought out audacity and musescore. (which i have been able to get musescore 2 in a…
Show HN: Mole – Deep research agent for your terminal
Doing research with agents is fun until they blow way past budget, jumble the sources, and don't even give you the best possible answer, just sound confident. And if you want to run some research task on local data - you have no idea where your data ends up after the prompt consumes it. So I built this tool: a deep-re…
Qwen 3.8 27B
Lol at that command. Why is this stuff so hard to run locally? I've spent a few days trying to figure it all out and haven't been able to. LM Studio doesn't work behind proxies. Ollama is confusing and doesn't seem to support Qwen3? And Llama.cpp is your command. I just want to run `<some-command> <model-name>` with s…
Ask HN: What tasks cost money through a UI but are free in code?
As someone who only recently started getting their feet wet thanks to vibe coding, I am kind of amazed at all the free tools out there. An example: ffmpeg (which I've used for a long time) is a classic case of "if you can figure it out, it's free; if you can't, I can sell you a shovel" with virtually every video downl…
Show HN: Agents that run your finances
Hey HN. My name is Faiyam, cofounder/CEO of Blaze Money (YC S24). We're sharing here something new we've been working on in the agentic finance space for businesses. TL;DR -- you can use Blaze Money to run your business's finances agentically. 'Twas a long journey to get here. In 2023 we started in cross border p…
Ask HN: How much money do you spend monthly on subscriptions for AI models?
For me, the biggest pain point was actually having multiple AI subscriptions just to use different models for different things. I’m working on Talkory.ai, so I naturally use several models—GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, Perplexity, etc.—for things like coding, research, content and brainstorming. Individually, each subscr…
Show HN: LymeScribe – one computer on your network transcribes for the rest
Transcribed with LymeScribe just before posting this: "I realize it's a little bit late in the day to be posting on Hacker News. However, I've been looking at this frog for a good two weeks now, and F it, I'm just going to ship it. I've posted on Hacker News now like three or four times with little to no results. So i…
Show HN: Lark, OSS realtime database, drop-in compatible with Firebase SDKs
Hey everyone, In early 2026, I started working on Lark, with the goal of creating a realtime database with the same fundamental premise of Firebase RTDB: syncing a JSON tree with persistence to thousands of concurrent users. Today, Lark is releasing as open-source software under an AGPLv3 license. I've been building o…
Ask HN: Small team devs – how do you collab with UI/UX designers in the AI era?
Running a 2 person product company, my cofounder (product designer by trade) and I are struggling to get the design/dev process right as AI transforms the way we ship. There are a couple of interrelated problems: 1. As we move faster and a higher proportion of our frontend code is AI generated it means more minor…
Launch HN: Bullet (YC S26) – A Faster Coding Agent
Hi HN! We’re Adi and Alex, founders of Bullet, a faster coding agent. Bullet started in a senior year dorm. We were fresh out of working at AppLovin and Citadel, and naturally thought we were on a sure path to startup success. We were going to use our skills optimizing stock pricing calculation speeds and agent docume…
Show HN: OJCP – an open protocol for agent-consumable job data
Author here! Agents are applying to jobs for people right now, with progressively more volume, and there's nothing built for it. So they scrape career pages and fight ATS forms with Playwright/Browser Use, which breaks constantly (or they get bot blocked). Employers get buried in applications that don't fit, cand…
Ask HN: Any good alternatives to Claude that are just not Claude?
I really like using Claude for writing docs, sum up texts or search causes of big logical bugs that would take hours to debug, tho I hate the fact that you don't know how many tokens you have left, what the actual limit is etc. They just give you a damn percentage that tells nothing, id like something that is first of…
Launch HN: Keet (YC S24) – An app to create video courses on anything
Hi HN! We’re Zack and Tommy the Co-Founders of Keet ( https://trykeet.com ). We are building a mobile app that generates courses on any topic, with short videos for explanation and games for reinforcement. Courses mirror a real curriculum to help you learn over an extended period of time. Tommy and I met in…
Show HN: Lemma – A declarative language for business rules
I keep finding business logic either buried deep in application code or locked inside enterprise rule engines. The rise of AI has made this worse: I see us all vibing business logic into imperative code. To build and maintain reliable systems, we need to separate rules, agreements, and law from application logic. Trad…
Show HN: Replacing HTML/CSS/JS with Rust
I've previously launched FUI-AS (retained UI in AssemblyScript) as a browser-only canvas framework. However, the dream was always something substantially bigger. It's to have a retained mode UI framework for the web, native and iOS/Android with SDKs available in multiple languages. This is the second slice of tha…
Show HN: My solar died for 6 months, so I built a watchdog
Hi HN, Shawn here. My rooftop system lost about half a year of production and nobody told me. Not the installer, not the monitoring app, not the utility. I found out from an electric bill that made no sense, then spent weeks digging through the monitoring portal by hand. SunRanker is what I wished existed that day. Co…
Tail-call optimization in C is relatively recent (2025)
It's hard to argue that it isn't an optimization, because it doesn't affect the semantics of the program. However most optimizations are very hard to observe. The vast majority of optimizations only affect code size and runtime. TCO is one of the few exceptions. It affects memory usage, and more sensitive stack memory…
