Can't a multi-trillion-dollar company have secrets any more?
Hi HN, I'm the creator of Mach ( https://github.com/octalide/mach or https://machlang.org ). Two days ago, we finally achieved full self hosting. I wanted to make a post here to show off the language since this is a big milestone for us. ## TL;DR about the language for those curious: - There are no external dependencies anywhere in the pipeline. This includes LLVM, libc bindings, or anything of the sort (save for the historical bootstrap compiler, which requires any C compiler and has been phase
Hi HN, Over the last few days I've been building USTPS (UDP Speedy Transmission Protocol Secure), an experimental encrypted transport protocol built on top of UDP. The primary goal of USTPS is low-latency video streaming. A server can take a video source and expose it through a USTPS endpoint, while Linux and Android (Termux) clients receive the stream and expose it locally to applications such as VLC, mpv, and FFmpeg. Although streaming is the main focus, USTPS is not limited to media delivery.

Is it just me, or does anyone else find they can't help themselves troll AI sometimes. Like I will use Claude for a long research project, write and refine a report, and once done I just love fucking with it. Like asking it to rewrite the report because I am going to send it over to a 4 year old to review, so if you could please put the whole thing in baby talk. Or ask it what I can put on the slides when I present it in order to guarantee that anyone who sees it will become incredibly attracted to me. Or ask it to find the closest tattoo shop near me because I am going to get this whole report tattooed on my ass and moon people on the street as a guerilla marketing experiment. Is my life so dull that I have to resort to fucking with a robot to feel feelings? submitted by /u/musicheadspace [link] [留言]
The 'disappearing into the bushes like Homer Simpson' strategy is a bold choice.
Tools for Humanity, Sam Altman's identity verification company, is reportedly struggling to generate revenue and will downsize its staff.
The vibe of Apple's 2026 WWDC keynote felt like a spouse proudly listing all the honey-do-list items tackled. One subtle example: the many AI demos of someone standing, phone in hand.

The same general situation has happened to me twice now and I am wondering if it’s something I can break free from or if it’s just the nature of the Startup beast - or what. There seems to be some kind of bubble that starts drying up investment in a startup where I am a technical lead. Both times, things seem to be going well and then 2 years in there are rounds of layoffs due to factors outside my/product’s control where the result is the same. I end up as the last tech generalist. It falls to
I hope this makes sense. Keep in mind I'm pretty new to coding and have learnt for random one-off projects. I want to generate a quiz to be hosted on readymag, but started creating the still images so I can control the aesthetic. I'm looking to use buttons overlayed on top of the images to advance it, but they would also have to correlate with specific answers and store that data to trigger the right response on the final screen of the results. is this doable? how so? I'm not asking anyone to do a bunch of hard work for me for free, just point me in the right direction. I know how to make the buttons, but not actually have the action be advancing, and storing the data to refer back to it. sorry if there is any confusion. see the image as an example, which would have a start button and advance to the next prompt, one image at a time. they will have 2 or 3 options per question as buttons. thanks! https://preview.redd.it/sjw645ccx46h1.png?width=2636&format=png&auto=webp&s=146f36e1e5e242e340105e84dcb5579295bc0489 submitted by /u/Global_Math_7631 [link] [留言]
The FTX CEO was sentenced for fraud in 2024.
Apple is trying to solve one of Safari's biggest weaknesses with AI. Safari has long lacked the robust library of extensions that its rivals have, mainly due to the stringent development requirements from Apple. But now, Apple is inviting users to essentially vibe-code their own extensions. In a demo shared by Apple, the company showed […]
Hi HN! We’re Jimmy and Ray. Jimmy is a Thiel Fellow with a Ph. D. from MIT who has worked on programming tools for 15 years; Ray became VP of Sales at a $2B company when he was 19 and has built side-businesses vibe-coding. Last year, we set to answer the question “If AI can write code 100x faster, then why aren’t you shipping 100x faster?” What we learned shocked us — even fairly nontechnical people and solo founders told us they were spending more than half of their development time reading the
