Dick Spotswood: Engaging in ‘civil society’ important in divided times
Our nation is enduring a period when society is in disarray. There are three pillars of public life that have and will continue to shape our nation’s future: government, business and “civil society.” The federal government is dysfunctional. America’s bitter partisan divide will not end well. The Golden State is encumbered by a bureaucracy whose […]

Show HN: I analyzed 15k user-submitted rents to map NYC's seasonal pricing
Last week I had a post go viral in r/nyc for a free rental advice tool I made and 15,000 redditors in new york submitted their rent data. I crunched the numbers and created a free seasonal rent analysis showing the outcomes. Doing all of this as a hobby project:TLDR: The best time of year to sign a lease is right now: Cheapest: December (-10% vs average)
Most expensive: July (+10% vs average)
Total swing: ~20% difference peak to trough
That's roughly $8000 saved each year o

Building a "Socratic Interceptor" to prevent AI technical debt
We talk a lot about AI hallucinating, but we don't talk enough about "Hollow PRs"—code that works, but the author cannot maintain because they blindly accepted the autocomplete.I am working on a workflow integration (GitHub App) that acts as a "Just-in-Time Tutor."How it works:Detects AI-generated or high-complexity blocks (Regex, Concurrency, obscure SQL).Pauses the PR.Asks the author a Socratic question about the logic (e.g., "Why did you use a Bitwise NOT here?&q
Multimodal University: Hybrid Search
We kept seeing the same failure pattern across search and RAG systems:Keyword search has high precision but misses obvious paraphrases.
Semantic search has high recall but breaks on acronyms, IDs, error codes, and exact terms.Most teams pick one and then spend months patching edge cases.What actually works in practice is hybrid search: running keyword + semantic retrieval together and fusing the results (RRF, weighted fusion, etc.).Example from dev docs search:

Ask HN: Do coding agents optimize the wrong review step
This is a personal opinion, but I think current coding agents requires human reviews AI's artficats at the wrong moment.
Most tools focus on creating and reviewing the plan before execution.So the idea behind this is to approve intent before letting the agent touch the codebase. That sounds reasonable, but in practice, it’s not where the real learning happens.The "plan mode" takes place before the agent has paid the cost of reality. Before it’s navigated the repo, before it’s run

Ask HN: Lost a lot of digital photos? How did you deal with it, emotionally?
I recently had an old business partner delete a Google Workspace account without asking where I was saving years of photos. No backups, and didn’t catch it in the 30 days grace period. I lost a lot. Years of memories. Feel distraught. And pretty angry. Have you ever lost photos?

A (humble) new proposal for the FE ecosystem
For many years, I focused quietly on my work, but now I feel compelled to point out a problem that is becoming increasingly apparent.--1. Correct Model ≠ Adopted ModelHistorical fact: In the frontend ecosystem, the winners aren't those who create the most accurate abstraction; they're those who provide the “feel of working” with the least friction.The result: correct thought model → low adoption and incorrect but easy model → explosion.This is no coincidence.2.

A Distant Salutation: The Moment the South Lost the Civil War
A day after the Battle of Second Manassas and two weeks before the Battle of Antietam, a tiny fight at Ox Hill entered the footnotes of American Civil War history. Which is exactly where I found it in the course of researching and writing about the guerrilla war in Fairfax County, Virginia. Over five years, I accumulated more and more information about the events leading up to the Battle of Ox Hill and the unique opportunity for decisive victory that the South squandered on a ridge west of Fair
