Show HN: LLM-First software requirements manageemnt system
by Homo__Ludens | 2025-05-02 15:42:52+00:00
Hey HN, I'm Ivan, builder of Nautex AI.

App's mission is to create source of truth for COMPLETE and LIVE set requirements of the product, which are tracable to the raw communication history, adjacent requirements, tasks, tests and the code.

Today's gap in autonomous coders, that agents do not share any of your assumtions and the way how you map your codebase with words, concepts and priorities. And in the same time building full requirements with existing tools is not realistic effort anywhere other than in safety critical verticals.

First user flow available is to interview you as main stakeholder, digest specifications, diagrams and autocode clickable web app preview. Then you can redline and editing specs, by selecting doc / or atomic requirement. Then you can export markdown, PDF, or DOCX. (no full throttle vibe coding of the web preview yet! Also diagrams editing is not available for now)

Initial interview digesting uses Gemini Pro 2.5 and might take 2-3 minutes for completion. So give it its time!

I used to build a drones for a living as a founder, guidance-navigation-control and system engineer. Nautex AI is my effort for productizing full stack system engineering activities without its pre-LLM era costs.

Next week milestone is to bring MCP server, so the Cursor/Windsurf can use it.

Please share any of your feedback!

As a fellow Pole, absolutely not. When I communicate in a foreign language, it's about accurate information transfer. Then again, I don't write or compose poetry/marketing copy on the daily.

Beyond a certain point, there is simply no return on investment to sounding more and more like your target audience. You need some basics, but beyond that, if you are valued by your target audience, they will listen, take you seriously, accept your legitimacy as a fellow person whose wisdom is worth knowing even if the content or style diverges from the schema.

If they cannot accept your offer in good faith, then I would disengage rather than push past that.

If you allow one person to get away with this, others may see it as an invitation to do worse. Filings are often a matter of immutable public record and it makes sense that there should be rules as to what goes into them.

What is the act of deciding cases if not a carefully constructed procedure meant to keep order? What is the harm of telling a lawyer to try again, this time following the rules?

> I assume they're sending slightly different images to each eye, which probably means they need to generate two pictures instead of one

Yes, producing two camera views at a time and at pretty high resolution. You can get away with more resolution compromises on a 2D display sitting a couple feet from your eyes versus VR displays hovering just beyond your eyes.

I had an elective class at St. John's where we read selections from Newton's Principia (ISBN 9781888009262) together with William Blake's long poem "Jerusalem, the Emanation of the Giant Albion".

The goal was not to learn how to do physics calculations, but to understand each writer's concept of reality and humanity's relationship to it. I remember that Blake really focused on the worth of actually instantiated reality, what he called "minute particulars", in contrast to Newton's abstractions:

He who would do good to another, must do it in Minute Particulars General Good is the plea of the scoundrel hypocrite & flatterer: For Art & Science cannot exist but in minutely organized Particulars And not in generalizing Demonstrations of the Rational Power.

Also, Newton's Principia uses Euclidian-style demonstrations to illustrate many of his points, whereas today we would use algebraic calculus. That was fun, since everyone in the room had also worked through the first book of Euclid's Elements.

> When Astro Bot won GotY, a bunch of idiots who thought that Black Myth Wukong should have won started review-bombing BG3; since Astro Bot is a PS5-only game and you can't review games on PSN, they decided to go after BG3 since their CEO was the one who presented the GotY award to Astro Bot.

And that is valid information and context.

If I see a bunch of user reviews that gave a zero but no textual information on that zero (or the textual reviews that gave it a zero contained bullshit), I can ignore those as irrelevant for me and pay attention to the game.

> You don't often see people review-bombing games positively that they've never played, so the skew is going to be towards the negative and not the positive.

That absolutely does happen. Fanboyism is a thing.

> The discovery of Methanobrevibacter intestini and GRAZ-2 opens up a new chapter in archaea research as well as new perspectives for personalized microbiome medicine in the future.

It advances research, but personalized microbiome research seems a stretch goal. At least, it doesn't sound like it's likely to happen soon.

Love the site, and impressed by what they generated there. With that said... I'm starting to feel like music might be the last thing to be affected by Generative AI.

I IV V with different accents over the music and different drum sounds is fine, but thats not really music. It's pretty bad when you can pick out the chords progression in 5 sec. Cue the infamous 4-chord song skit by Axis of Awesome.

> They can release new versions with some other license if they get all contributors to agree.

Contributors must sign a Contributor License Agreement (CLA) before a contribution will be merged. The CLA signers gave Elastic the right to change licenses, among others, when they signed the agreement. Consequently, Elastic doesn't need to get individual sign-off from each contributor before changing the project license. The code wasn't based on copyleft license, so there's no compulsion to continue using the same licensing terms for all future distributions. That's a motivating factor for many CLAs. If you made a contribution prior to the introduction of the CLA then things get murkier.

No, I think it's an appropriate "slippery slope" comparison.

Hacker News has insisted, for years, vehemently, that Apple is not abusing monopoly power. You can search every single DMA/DOJ threads comment history and end up with the same conclusion. They were "the good guys" even when they were explaining away the Butterfly keyboard, CPU throttling, on-device scanning or arbitrarily blocking competition. In the face of absolute madness, Hacker News was unable to admit they bet on the wrong horse.

So here we are, watching Apple execs lie under oath. And Hacker News is still jumping up to "uhm aktually, shareholders really like crony capitalism" to once again defend Apple now that they've become indefensible.

This is the tech industry's volkssturm. An unwinnable fight in hopeless conditions, sabotaged solely by poor leadership.

They are trying to reinstate it or create something sort of equivalent...but only for media they consider to be liberal.

The FCC for example has been threatening to revoke broadcast licenses of media it says are biased. No conservative media have received these threats.

They consider bias any reporting, no matter how factual, that contradicts anything the administration has said, now matter how objectively wrong it is.

Just a point, Europeans were the only ones to do _chaptel slavery_, i.e treating fellow humans (even if they are currently slave) as object they own and have every right over them.

Other form of slavery were either topologically or chronologically limited. This wasn't the case for European chaptel slavery: your sons and daughter were also property, and changing localtion did not indure you to another lord, but gave him right to pursue you across the world (also, chains were mostly used during triomphs, but chained slave were in practice extremely rare, even in mines)

There's plenty of ways to ensure that. Don't let Apple's bad UI fool you into accepting Apple's bad business practices.

Apple could have created an API for other payment providers to integrate with, so that you could sign up for IAP with whoever you want (imagine your IAP and subscriptions run by PayPal if you enter a PayPal account instead of a credit card).

Banks and payment processors already have tons of policies requiring payments to be presented in a clear way, refunds and cancellations processed properly, etc. There are also plenty of trademark and consumer protection laws that forbid misrepresentation. It's a solved problem that Apple pretends to be unsolvable and spreads FUD about to keep their cash cow.

Synadia might not be very good at encouraging community involvement in development and has perhaps not made an effort. I've watched most of the videos they've posted on youtube, and they seem very proud of keeping total control of the project. I don't think there's anything fundamental to the NATS software that discourages community involvement; in fact, their code is extremely well written and easy to read in a developer friendly language (Go). However, there is something about how the project is actively run that seems to discourage community involvement. I've coincidentally been publicly documenting [1] my own surprising frustrations with trying to get involved during the last few months. Many other open source projects I'm involved with, e.g., Jupyter, SageMath, Cython, have much more welcoming governance structures, with regular welcoming developer meetings open to everybody, etc.

All that said, NATS is Apache licensed software, and any company is legally allowed to create and maintain a closed-source fork based on this. CNCF claims the trademark "NATS" and the domain name nats.io.

I have often wondered if the name "NATS" is an overly confusing name. People often think it means "Network Address Translation". I suspect changing the name to something else that involved PubSub or Queue or DB would be a net win in the longrun.

I enjoy playing with Suno as a toy to flesh out bits and pieces of creative ideas I have that I cannot complete at my current stage in life.

Weird, stupid things. Writing theme songs for TV shows that don't exist, finding ways to translate song types from culture A to culture B, BGM for a video game you want to make, a sales song for Shikoku 1889 to sell Iyo railway shares, etc...

Some of us have zero cultural influence and services like Suno mean we aren't listening to the original brainrot (popular music). Sure, you might create garbage but it's your garbage and you aren't stuck waiting for someone to throw you a bone.

I love Suno, it's a rare subscription that is fun.

To the other commenters replying to you, and to you as well, the money is committed in a way that is difficult if not impossible to prevent from going out the door once projects are complete or hit specific milestones. Many projects are already underway but it takes time to select sites, developers, manufacture chargers, negotiate with utilities, and develop the sites. This work is underway and many more chargers will come online over the next few years. The new administration is preventing new projects, but horses have already left the barn.

The electoral college system and it's winner-takes-all implementation in most states means that the vast majority of US citizens are disenfranchized - they are given the illusion of voting with that vote in fact being used against them -majority wins all of state's electoral college votes.

So, yes, the US is not a real democracy in any meaningful definition of the word. It's not far from Russia or other countries where you can also put a vote in the box, but that won't affect the outcome of the election.

This is a super interesting comment, thanks!

I can’t say I manage to convince myself of any supernatural argument, but I often find them fascinating, and the philosophy and theology in Christianity is a lot more complex and interesting than many other atheists give it credit for (although I tend to agree it is “complicated” rather than “complex”, making knots for itself to untie, but I think this about secular philosophy too).

How did you build this understanding of theology? Any book you’d recommend?

Unless you're very wealthy, chasing the AAA game peak performance on PC is becoming unattainable. You can easily get an Intel Arc B580 card for ~300 to play at 1440p regular settings, but to take advantage of the highest quality at NVIDIA 4090 or 5090 you're looking at $4000 just for the GPU. AAA games just broke their price ceiling too with Nintendo going for $80/90 regular game prices for their headliners, and Microsoft following. There are so many wonderful independent games studios that aren't competing for the top performance, or twitchy shooters that require such high hardware that it becomes serious competition for AAA. A few recent favorites that don't require anything top end hardware wise are Psychonauts 2, Balatro, Wanderstop, Kitsune Tails, Shovel Knight, Cuisineer. Since Doom: The Dark Ages requires a raytracing card, it's out of reach for me.

Initially, Bitcoin light wallets were built with bloom filters. So a full node would only propagate transactions, which satisfy a bloom filter, given by light client to that light client. The bloom filter seems not to be privacy preserving, that was one reason why this was abondend by some wallets. However, bitcoinj and wallets built on top of it, might still use this...

We could adapt the comparison and imagine Kodak realizing the digital business just enough to adapt a bit, but never shift their focus: Just enable digital photography to make the business case for any newcomer unviable, so they'll run out of money before they start to turn a profit, but not innovate enough to create the digital photography age we have today -- it would stay a niche market, for people for whom traditional film really wouldn't work, just like it was in the years leading up to the shift.

And then let's strain the comparison, when even overcoming a genius general like Hannibal is no longer enough, and you shift from a strategy of "who cares how many losses it takes, Rome has more men" to the crisis of the third century, and barbarian coalitions coalescing into what would become the huge tribes and proto-states of the Migration Period, when that strategy wasn't even viable for any day-to-day conflict, given the severe military manpower constraints Rome faced, and destroying your enemy in an attritional battle made way for hurting them just enough that they were amenable to a tolerable negotiated settlement. One could imagine the widespread adoption of smartphones as the point where the original market strategy of ignoring digital photography as much as economically feasible would end, and the digital photography era would finally start.
Just launched AiSofto.com – Directory of all AI tools. Would love your feedback

Hi everyone,

I hope you're doing well in this exciting era of rapid AI development. I wanted to share a project we’ve been working on: AiSofto.com – a centralized, user-friendly directory of AI tools from across the web.

The goal is to make it easier for developers, creators, marketers, and curious minds to discover useful AI products, all in one place. We're updating the site daily and plan to add:

Rankings based on popularity and usefulness

Filters to narrow down tool types

Search by use case (e.g., image generation, automation, productivity)

Trending page with ranking-based listing

Community ratings and feedback in the future

Free to submit any AI tools/projects

This is still a work in progress, and your feedback would mean a lot. Whether it's about design, features, usability, or anything else — we’re listening.

Would love to hear your thoughts!
Ask HN: Where to look for research and writing opportunities in privacy&security
by timsh | 2025-05-02 15:48:16+00:00
I have recently seen a job description at Palisade Research with such summary:

“Research generalists conduct experiments, build demonstrations and prototypes, write papers and blog posts about their findings. The ideal candidate combines the skills of a startup CTO and a scientist.”

Which I thought describes my experience, what I know and want to do quite good.

I’m looking for similar positions and opportunities, preferably part time, in the privacy, security and safety domains. Ideally - on a commercial basis, but would also be interested in project work with non-profits.

Any advice on where to look? Maybe anyone here has or seen a similar-looking role?

I got into the field about a year ago, and so far was doing independent research and blogging about it on https://timsh.org. I also did some small projects with non-profit organizations and enjoyed that a lot.

Inserting it into every conversation is an example of them playing to certain audiences, particularly when it’s being mentioned in a way that appears to be checking a box versus being relevant or substantial.

I refrained from including in my original reply that another issue is that those they’ve increasingly tailored their personas/programming to legitimately can’t see any issue with how CBC has changed in the last 10 years. Whether that’s because they’re not old enough to remember the CBC when it was far more dry and neutral I’m not sure.

> The weirdness started in 90s.

I think this is mostly just an artifact of when you starting paying attention in your life, discounting what happened before, you are likely around 50 years old.

Remember there was the Vietnam war casus belli that was faked, the student protests and shootings, and Nixon spying on his opponents and before that there was the red scare, the Hollywood black list and segregation in the South.

I think weaving together complex set of events like this is too much like the mistake people make in a lot of "evolutionary just so" stories. The degrees of freedom are too large and it is hard to establish true causality in a realm of potentially infinite causal links just by conjecture.

I think it is easier and more productive frankly to see what levers and pressures one had right now on the government and then try to influence those.

I think government is always in tension between opposing forces and you'll align with some and against others depending on your background, disposition, position in society and your particular perspective of kinship.

>Then I found out in 2019, the Texas legislature outlawed the use of red-light cameras.

>Muh freedum.

To be fair you have progressives arguing against red light cameras as well, on the basis that it's a regressive tax on poor people, and that it causes more accidents through drivers slamming on the brakes on a yellow.

All part of the great warp and weft. It's a fascinating thing to learn about, how all these traditions intersect.

Seattle, the city I live in, recently became the first to ban caste discrimination. I didn't think much of it at the time, but nowadays maybe there's something to be learned from jātivada, the many forms it comes in, and the response to it. Reading Leslie Feinberg right now, interesting working class perspective.
