Ask HN: What cool stuff have you all been using Fable 5 for?
Just curious.

Tell HN: I managed to unsubscribe from Adobe CC without being charged
I had an educational Adobe CC subscription that went from ~£25 per month to ~£67 recently. When I went to cancel after I realised I didn't really use it that much and could just use Affinity, I was shocked to find out that I was going to be charged ~£250 because although I pay monthly I was in a yearly contract. (I did know that, which is on me, but it's easy to forget that because of the payment structure). It's a serious barrier, so I looked at the other options, and you're able to transfer to

Ask HN: Are systems ready for the first negative leap second?
It’s been 10 years since we had the last leap second and it looks like we will get the first negative one soonish. Are systems ready for that?

Ask HN: I use coding agents daily, but how do real engineers use them?
I have a broad but shallow technical background (longtime management consultant) and use agents (a variety of services and models in VS Code) extensively for my own projects. I know I'm hitting a ceiling. My workflow is naive and nonpro, a lot of tinkering and bashing my way through code generation, context drift, manual fixes, etc. I want to learn how senior engineers treat these tools. Processes, systems, guardrails, must-dos, etc. If you write code for a living and have integrated agents into

Opinion: Agents > Unix Shell
This is just something I've been thinking about. My experience is that agents aren't useful if you view them as programmers, because you still have to audit all the code until we get to the point where you don't, which may be quite far off. But if you view them as a replacement/driver for the Unix shell, as much as I have loved it for many years, it does seem like you can move faster.

Ask HN: Are there good security benchmarks for LLMs?
I'm looking for this myself but figured it's good to have an actual discussion about this. I'm pretty new to the benchmarking side of LLMs. For example, I looked at eyeballvull [1]. It seems promising but I don't see wide support for example. I respect the author for still committing. A benchmark where an agent scans a repo in full is what I'm looking for. But then I also wondered: maybe there are others out there that I haven't been aware of yet. And, at the risk of potentially being flooded, f

Ask HN: What should I verify before releasing a P2P messenger?
I’m releasing 1.0 of an open-source desktop P2P messenger tomorrow - Realman78/Kiyeovo on GitHub. In short, it's a feature rich messenger with clearnet “Fast mode” and an optional Tor-routed “Anonymous mode.” Before the "release" tomorrow, I want to catch anything I might have missed. For people who have shipped tools from this domain (privacy/messaging/security): what would you verify now that you have less than 24 hours?

Ask HN: Is anyone using Jujutsu version control (JJ) exclusively?
(Disclaimer: I'm building in the Jujutsu space) I've recently grown to love Jujutsu (JJ) and am seeing it's adoption growing. But I'm curious if people are switching over to using it exclusively?

Ask HN: Are you emotionally attached to AI code?
One thing I expected from the AI era was a decrease in emotional attachment to code reviews. My assumption was that AI-generated code would make reviews easier because criticism of the code wouldn't feel like criticism of the author. Instead, I've repeatedly seen people strongly defend AI generated code, and sometimes even defend AI explanations that are demonstrably incorrect. Is anyone else seeing this? If so, what do you think is driving it? How are you handling it within your team? Also, has

I built a local-first replacement for TV Time before it shuts down July 15
TV Time deletes 26 million users' watch history in 9 days. I had 10 years and 5,719 episodes in it. So I built the thing I needed: a tracker where the history lives on YOUR device and no company can ever delete it again. Import your TV Time export in under a second: continuity.tv

Ask HN: Is anyone experimenting with different ways of using LLMs for coding?
I'm a bit annoyed by the feeling that we're kind of stuck when it comes to using LLMs for programming. I use Claude Code and Codex, but I haven't been able to enter flow state like I can when I hand write code. This is kind of ironic to me since AI should be a bicycle for the mind, but right now it feels like a bicycle that just brakes abruptly every couple minutes. I stop, wait, review, prompt again. Is there anyone exploring something fundamentally different than the prompt response loop we ha

Ask HN: What internal tools/SASS replacements are you building?
I hear more and more from people in companies of all sorts, are building internal tools/replacements of SaSS businesses. We built an automated QA agent based on Playwright, that does QA on our own products, literally in a week and we continue to contribute to it. Our QA engineers love it. What sort of things/products are you building?

Tell HN: Error: Claude-fable-5 is temporarily unavailable
Constantly seeing this message for 80% of bash calls. Is this new normal with Claude models, also do we get refund for this loop of failures where tool call fails, then Fable retries again with another tool call, which fails again and again. I am constantly seeing this error and getting very frustrated by it: Error: claude-fable-5 is temporarily unavailable, so auto mode cannot determine the safety of Bash right now. Wait briefly and then try this action again. If it keeps failing, continue with

Claude Code deletes conversations after 30 days
Sharing this in hopes it saves other people the data loss I experienced: CC's default setting is a 30-day data retention: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/59248 If you want to keep your transcripts, you'll need to update `cleanupPeriodDays` in your `settings.json`.

Ask HN: What is your go-to prompt to prove AI can be wrong?
Just over-heard one of our seniors trying to explain to a new intern that AI can actually be wrong, no matter how much its answers sound very eloquent and well-structured. I was wondering what question/prompt everyone uses to prove so to others. I assume it depends on each person's expertise, or some people ask about a fact that is well-known as having been a victim of the mandela effect. P.S. As a non-native speaker, I was about to pass my submission through AI to improve text clarity and under

Ask HN: Why about a third of the submissions become dead in mere minutes?
If you check the newest submissions right now (https://news.ycombinator.com/newest), ten out of 30 are already dead, some only sent five minutes ago. On the second page, it's 9. On the third, 11. It seems unlikely that many people are downvoting them so quickly, and for most I can't see why they should be dead. I know that there's websites known to publish only AI slop which are probably blacklisted here, but it seems unlikely that a third of the submissions are about them. There's some automati

Ask HN: Why are the upvote arrows so small?
The .votearrow element on HN is 10x10px: .votearrow { width: 10px; height: 10px; border: 0px; margin: 3px 2px 6px; background: url("triangle.svg"), linear-gradient(transparent, transparent) no-repeat; background-size: 10px; } On mobile, I keep tapping the title instead of the arrow. I've been running this override via Stylus for a while: .votearrow { width: 40px; height: 40px; margin: 0; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: center; background-size: 16px; cursor: pointer; }

Ask HN: Since when does Craigslist's front page have emojis?
Today I noticed the inclusion of emojis in Craigslist's listings/categories: https://www.craigslist.org/area/sfbay . Now, Craigslist, as a legacy of the 1990s web, has for a long time stubbornly maintained its minimalist style, to the point where several "modern" startups have popped up to try and offer Craigslist-like services to new generations. So why this change? And what's with the timing? It's coinciding with the wanton proliferation of emojis everywhere courtesy of everyone's favorite GPT

Ask HN: How are you staying productive using LLMs?
1. What's your predominantly use-case? Eg: If you're using it for coding, what are you doing to make yourself productive? If you're using it for something else, please share what it is and what you are making doing to make it productive for you 2. Any successful side-projects you've built using LLMs? Success is subjective. You can go with however you define success in your scenario.

Ask HN: How to get a non-technical friend into tech?
My friend wants to learn software engineering and eventually land a job at FAANG / big corp. Trouble is, they have zero engineering or leetcode experience. They also dropped out of their bachelors degree a decade ago. Do I point them to a intro Python book? Something else? Edit: big corp job would be a dream end goal. They just want to know how to take their first steps.

Ask HN: Would you trust encryption at the mobile keyboard layer?
Most private messaging advice says: use a secure messenger. That makes sense for transport and server-side privacy, but every mobile message exists somewhere before it reaches the messenger. On Android that place is often the keyboard/input layer. Questions: - Would you ever trust a keyboard for encryption-related workflows? - What would such a keyboard need to prove before you considered it safe? - Is privacy at the input layer useful, or does it create too much trust friction? - Is local-only/
