"An ex-friend demanded I throw her a huge surprise 40th birthday party and invite a bunch of (sketchy) people I'd never met. To my house. During the COVID lockdown. While I was dealing with chemo and breast cancer."
By Dennis Peprah, GNA Sunyani, (Bono), March 8, GNA – Dr Freda Prempeh, the Founder of the Ultimate Women Foundation, a Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) has urged the government and the civil ...
Hey HN,What Claude Code knows, Codex doesn't. What your teammate built yesterday or is building right now? The agent has no idea. Every coding agent is an island. And we as humans are the communication bottleneck between them.UltraContext is an open source context layer that captures every agent session in realtime and makes it available to all of them. Think of it as a personal context engineer that sits between your agents so they always know what the others did.How it works:1. Run the d
Hey everyone.I'm working on a machine learning project that needs a lot of TikTok video data that has to do with ads and behavior. I'm gonna do a bunch of transcription and analyses on individual videos after getting their ids.I'm facing a problem right now. I estimate only about 5% of the data fetched by tools like ensembledata through the degrees of freedom it allows (individual hashtag / keyword search.)I understand this possibly is a confounding problem.My question is has
At the beginning of the social internet there was a very simple promise. Technology would help people stay connected to those who were already part of their lives. There was no obsession with “audiences”, no creator economy, no algorithms deciding what you should watch next. The center of everything was human relationships. That is why platforms like Facebook, Orkut and even early YouTube felt meaningful to millions of people. They worked as extensions of real social life.Today the situation is
With the recent incidents (DataTalks database wipe by Claude Code, Replit agent deleting data during code freeze), it's clear that running AI agents in production without observability is risky.Common failure modes I've seen: no visibility into what the agent did step-by-step, surprise LLM bills from untracked token usage, risky outputs going undetected, and no audit trail for post-mortems.I've been building AgentShield (https://useagentshield.com) — an observability SDK
I didn’t want to connect my GitHub to my Lovable account just to download a quick prototype.<p>So I did what any sane person would do. I vibe-coded a CLI that downloads your Lovable project directly to your machine.<p>It’s written in Rust, reconstructs the full project directory locally, and handles assets (up to a certain size, determined by Lovable's API) so you end up with a (mostly) complete copy of the project.<p>You can install it quickly via cargo.
Excuse the intentional pronouns and vagueness to avoid being too searchable.About a month ago I learned that one our estranged relatives is being targeted in a Pig Butchering scam. They've already extracted at least $100,000 from him and appear to be going for more. He appears to have undiagnosed dimentia and his nearest family or friends are over 1,000 miles away.Another family member called us one day to tell us about the great new they heard from him about a business opportunity related
Hey HN,I pay for ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and use Gemini through work. Four vendors, four separate conversation histories, four profiles of how I think. None of them talk to each other. Switch providers and you start over.So I built a system where the memory is mine. I run a knowledge graph in Postgres (Supabase, free tier) with pgvector for semantic search. A small MCP server reads and writes to it. That server sits behind an MCP Gateway on a $6/month VPS, along with Brave Search and a Git
I started building with the idea of "Next.js for production readiness". Then quickly realized I didn't want to create an AI wrapper. So it's a reporting tool instead! Then you are free to fix however you like on your own terms.Attune auto-detects your framework, knows what patterns to check, and gives you actionable findings. Outputs in terminal, JSON, Markdown, HTML, and SARIF to be read by anyone or plugged into just about anything you want.Why local? If I'm already le
Hey everyone,I'm the original co-creator of RedwoodJS. (The framework that myself and Tom Preston-Werner, Rob Cameron and David Price built during Covid.)I had tried to build a developer tool startup (Snaplet), and failed. I rejoined the efforts to add RSC to Redwood, but I realized that we needed a much simpler framework that was closely tied to a platform (We chose Cloudflare).We started building RedwoodSDK a year ago and this is the result. An insanely simple stack. I am incredibly proud
I’ve followed BetaList and similar directories for years, and I regularly read side-project posts here on Hacker News.With the explosion of AI coding assistants, I expected a noticeable increase in useful small SaaS tools and practical software. But honestly, I’m not sure I see it.HN users have always built impressive things. One example I remember: a developer who quickly built a simple website to help his family find COVID vaccine appointments, it cost about $50 to build. Stories like that sho
We just analyzed a fresh supply chain attack on npm that's pretty well-executed.Package: pino-sdk-v2 Target: Impersonates pino (one of the most popular Node.js loggers, ~20M weekly downloads)Reported to OSV too- https://osv.dev/vulnerability/MAL-2026-1259What makes this one interesting: The attacker copied the entire pino source tree, kept the real author's name (Matteo Collina) in package.json, mirrored the README, docs, repository URL so everything looks legitimat
I've spent years watching hardware teams make the same mistakes — tooling committed before thermal was resolved, manufacturing processes not validated in PVT that only showed defects at volume, components going EOL unnoticed until the factory tried to order them. The pattern was always the same. The costs were always avoidable. Nobody had written it down. The result is The Hardest Hardware Lessons — covering the full journey from first prototype to end-of-life: EVT/DVT/PVT, factor
Hi HN,I’m building WiseLocals to solve the lack of transparency in international sourcing. Most businesses lose margins to opaque intermediaries or face high fraud risks when sourcing from major manufacturing hubs.We’ve developed a platform that connects businesses directly with vetted local experts, moving away from the "middleman" model that often complicates the supply chain.Key Technical/Process Focus: * Multi-tiered verification: A rigorous onboarding process to verify

Christie Gross brings a rare dual perspective to the awards conversation, shaped by a decade inside entertainment journalism and years leading awards publicity campaigns. In this interview, Christie unpacks how the press landscape has changed—and what those shifts mean for filmmakers navigating awards season today. She speaks candidly about the fragmentation of journalism, the lingering effects of COVID on campaign logistics, and why in-person screenings still matter in an increasingly digital
Anthology of Pandemic Horror narrated by Zaire Ukuu With the heady days of COVID-19 well and truly in our rear view mirror, that modern-day plague just an awful memory, we at HellBound Books decided it was high-time to revisit the horror enthusiast’s’ unfaltering love affair with tales of pandemic terror. We have here, for your delight, two-dozen horrific short stories of sickness, plagues, sinister microbial outbreaks, killer viruses, demonic infections, the devilpox, cannibals, and, of cours
