    AWS: Inaccurate Estimated Billing Data – $1.7 billion
    URL already posted: https://health.aws.amazon.com/health/status I've got an estimated bill for $1.7 BILLION over this month. Normal usage is < $5. Obvs have created an urgent AWS support ticket. Anyone else seeing something like this? Update: Reddit link: https://www.reddit.com/r/aws/comments/1uyuaw7/help_my_bill_s...

    Thanks HN for 15 years of support and helping me find my life's work
    Tomorrow is the 15th anniversary of the first day of the Recurse Center ( https://www.recurse.com/ ) My cofounders and I did YC all the way back in the Summer of 2010, with the initial idea of building "OkCupid for jobs." That idea quickly fizzled, and we spent the better part of a year pivoting between other ideas that also failed. Finally, we made something that we wanted ourselves: a self-directed programming retreat, where people built fun projects, contributed to open source, and helped eac

    Ask HN: Did Fable disappear from your Claude usage and requires credits now?
    Looks like it happened. I actually assumed they would just enable it for all today, considering the Sol and Kimmi releases this past week. They doubled down instead. EDIT: Was an outage, they just fixed it (https://status.claude.com/)

    Ask HN: Is AI sycophancy a way to reduce compute rather than make users happier?
    Of course you would like the AI to be more critical about your ideas but to be usefully critical requires more compute, right? Current AI feels like talking to a human expert who answers quickly without really thinking about the matter much.

    Ask HN: Is it just me, or is software buggier across the board?

    Ask HN: Add flag for AI-generated articles
    Should HN add the ability to flag articles as AI-generated? This doesn't have to act as a regular flag, i.e., it won't de-rank the article; it could just show up as an indicator, allowing others (like myself) who don't like reading AI-generated text, to skip it. Open questions: 1. Why is the regular voting system not enough? 2. Should HN change in response to the gen AI era? It has been successful not changing fundamentals.

    Is GPT-5.6 Sol Max Worth It?
    I ran some test with gpt- 5.6 sol in max reasoning on both codex cli and my own agent harness: https://github.com/Tura-AI/tura I tested only 1 task and the toekn efficency difference is not as great as in high mode: Tura used up to 83.1% fewer turns on the rewrite benchmark and improved the harness results by 7 percent point. In ultra the dirrence is around 50% and incressed harness result only by one. Full report: https://turaai.net/blog#is-gpt-5-6-sol-max-worth-it However in the bug fixing tas

    Ask HN: How do you handle the actual situation with so much AI noises
    I've been trying to promote my project for a week now and it's terrible. I've try to post on X continuously and also on Reddit. I even follow the trend "looking to connect with..." but so far no user/feedback yet. How do you guys handle such frustration and keeping your mental health ?

    Ask HN: I built it and nobody came. What got you your first users?
    I'm not a developer; MBA, cyber project manager by day. Years ago I taught myself enough SQL and API glue to automate the risk levels on my own trades. That was my ceiling, and every idea that needed real software died there. AI coding tools moved the ceiling, so I spent months of nights rebuilding it into something real and launched it last week. Six days later: three posts, two followers, essentially zero visitors. The best thing I have ever posted got four likes. 1 like was from me lol... The

    Ask HN: Who gets credits on big math questions solved by LLMs?
    E.g. what if someone prompts an LLM to solve the Riemann hypothesis using this or that approach; and the model actually solves it. Who gets the prize?

    Ask HN: Should I do a CS masters at Cambridge or start as a new grad at Amazon?
    Basically what the title says. I'm in the very fortunate position to be able to decide between the two trajectories. What do you recommend if my goals are flexibility and money in the long term? EDIT: It's very funny, I've asked the same thing on Reddit and over there 14 out of 15 comments advised me to take the job offer and here on HN the first 3 out of 3 comments tell me to do the masters

    Ask HN: Are AWS Certs worth getting for experienced Devs?
    I worked for big tech out of undergrad (mostly frontend/mobile for a few years) moved on to work at a few startups where I naturally switched to do more backend/cloud infrastructure work. I never got a 'formal' education in terms of masters or any kind of certs. Would it be worth it for me to start getting some Certs (like AWS solutions architect - associate/professional) if I want to switch my career towards more solutions design/consultation? I don't know many people personally that went this

    Ask HN: I feel like I've lost my identity due to AI
    I am a self taught software developer. I was previously an electrical engineer. For the past 10 years I’ve spent almost all my spare time reading and learning and lifting weights - software, electrical engineering, reading, and creating what I thought were novel projects - mostly in the software domain. For the longest time I’ve only been interested in ideas that haven’t really been done before, maybe that’s because I have adhd? But lots of the ideas I pursue and build are relatively novel or un

    Router ARP/NAT contradict after reload. Client ghost or firmware bug?
    I have a Keenetic Extra DSL router. I configured a static DHCP reservation so that my ESP32-W5500 device (MAC: de:ad:be:ef:fe:01) always receives 192.168.1.114. There's a MAC-based port forwarding rule for port 80, and a defined [subdomain].keenetic.pro points to this device as well. After a soft-restart, port forwarding silently breaks for WAN traffic. The rule appears active in the panel, but incoming connections from the outside just time out. This has recurred consistently across multiple so
