Yeah. "No (real) customer has ever, or will ever, care about this. ", in fact means "No (real) customer has ever, or will ever, knows how to care about this".

And because they don't know, the heat is in somebody else. Like the tech support, or windows, or internet, or the anti virus or whatever (because even some tech support, if even exist, don't know but surely have a theory about it).

Let me tell you an example: When the local network, cloud flare, printer, windows, their firewall, etc fails and by coincidence they are using our app. they call US.

And blame US.

A sizable portion of the support calls that are handled by any provider of tech for small companies is about other peoples software.
Ask HN: AWS API Billing, Credits, and Users
by mazy1998 | 2025-07-01 15:26:26+00:00
I have a question for people who have dealt with APIs on AWS,for my startup I have someone helping with our AWS migration, but he’s raised the concerns shown in the text below. In short what’s the best software for managing billing, credits, and users for an API?

1. User Management System:

User registration API with email verification, Login/logout with JWT token management, Password reset functionality, User profile management, API key generation and rotation, Account deletion and data cleanup.

2. Payment & Billing Infrastructure:

Stripe customer creation and management, Payment intent creation and processing, Multiple credit package options, Payment method storage and updating, Invoice generation and history, Failed payment retry logic, Refund processing system, Tax calculation integration, Payment analytics dashboard.

3. Credit Management System:

Credit balance tracking in real-time, Credit purchase and allocation, Credit deduction with job submission, Credit refund for failed jobs, Credit expiration policies, Usage analytics and reporting, Credit transfer between accounts (if needed), Promotional credit allocation.

I don't think it's so much patent or copyright as iPhone sits on a huge stack of technology which is proprietary by contract as well. It's very, very vertically integrated.

New Android startups appear now and then. The sort of thing that's achievable with a few tens of millions of dollars of funding. But Android as a whole represents a huge pile of work .. sitting on top of Google Play Services and the App Store, as we can see by the relative non-success of Amazon Fire.

(I was actually involved in the development of a phone-like handset device that was built around phone SOMs from Sierra Wireless. The first minimum order for assembly was ten units, scaling to a thousand after alpha test.)

So what? Controlling how many fart apps are available on its platform does not make Apple a gatekeeper to any part of the Internet. Apple does not funnel Web traffic into its properties.

Think it through: Amazon dominates shopping-search results. It easily swamps any other shopping portal or indie vendor. So it is a de facto gatekeeper to a huge portion of online shopping. You're citing Apple's alleged 58% of phone-platform share as making it a gatekeeper to the Internet? Amazon is actually an Internet-based entity with huge dominance in its field.

Meanwhile Meta (Facebook) IS the Internet for a large (less tech-savvy) portion of the public. Akin to when AOL slapped Internet access onto its platform.

Apple controls its app store. Is it douchey as hell to developers? Yep. Has it antagonized governments and flouted legal rulings? Yep. Has it lied about App Store search? Yep.

But it is not an Internet gatekeeper or a monopoly.

> you can just write papers all day that say all kinds of things, never test or even predict anything, and still have a successful career. That's how you get (snip) thousands of COVID papers that present model outputs but never validate if the results matched reality...

Disliking some papers is not really a fair or relevant metric by which to judge academia.

This would be like saying, "programmers are elite people, because they never have to test their work. Just look at the thousands of broken, shoddy-programmed repositories on GitHub full of junk code that's been abandoned! Half of it doesn't build, and isn't even testable. Why are we paying for hackathons just to get this garbage. Why do we hire interns and new CS grads, if they won't be seasoned veterans on day one".

A paper can be seen as kind of like the "pull request" of the academic world -- not every PR gets merged in, and a PR isn't always a waste just because it didn't get merged. Some number of bad papers does not mean "science" is "elite".

---

> That's how you get papers like the famous "feminist glaciology" paper [1]

That's probably a bad example, because the feminist glaciology paper isn't even bad or wrong. (Did you actually read it? Or did you only read the "feminist" and "glacier" and then get outraged?).

A quick scan of the actual paper, and Carey's argument seems to be that geologists and historians have been neglecting or ignoring how glaciers impact women (both the women in science doing these studies, and the women whose lives have been impacted by glaciers, or melt flow, flooding, disaster recovery, etc).

That's...like objectively true? And very well sourced. This isn't some crackpot theory, this is 100% a "validated idea" whose "results match reality".

Carey is an Environmental Historian and Professor of History. His papers are research and recordings of history, they won't be "testable" (under your definition of rubric) because he's reporting on things that have already happened. And this title specifically represents one (1) single paper that focuses on the impact to women, out of the 25(+?) he's published on Glaciers, Climate Change, and Societal impacts, over the past two decades.

If you want to remove Sociology and History from Science, so be it. (That would be Wrong, but I won't argue the point). But it should probably be expected that if you fund an Environmental Historian, you're going to get a lot research on Geological History and its societal impacts -- that's kind of the whole point of History as a discipline.

there's a reason LLM + internet search is quickly becoming the most efficient way to find information, it ingests text content, strips all fluff, customizes it to your specific query. Some offer quick source links too if you want to validate, but nobody is anything of that.

Google-Fu is being replaced with Prompting-Fu

not being allowed or choosing not to spend time learning the limits, benefits and drawback of different LLM models is basically handicapping yourself.

Like many who lived through this inversion I can absolutely relate.

I've culled my notifications substantially and my life is better for it. But I miss that feeling of firing up AIM and seeking out someone to chat with. Or someone spotting my arrival and immediately saying hi.

I realized yesterday that I don't use phones like others do. I want to be in airplane mode whenever my phone is locked. Not Do Not Disturb mode. I want my modem off. I don't want any phone calls, ever. I'll get to your messages when my flow state has subsided.

But when I unlock the phone, I want the modem to automatically come back on. I am subliminally tapping into the heyday of AIM. I'm expressing "i'm free. what's up?!".

Problem is, it's not an occasion to anyone else out there. Most people always want to be available and I have a hard time understanding why.

How is that gatekeeping? Does Webkit prevent you from visiting certain sites, or funnel you to others?

No.

And the browser-engine ban is being lifted; something that sounded good at first, until you realize that Chrome is already a cancer on the Web that is only held back to the dominance of Safari on mobile. Cheerleading for a total takeover by Chrome isn't smart if you think it through.

Mostly due to it's automated nature.

I wouldn't go out of my way to tell our internal recruiters about every person I might enjoy working with again; additionally I don't necessarily think they'd care to chase someone down - especially so if there's not a currently open position.

I'm also normally not directly plugged in to HR's candidate management system as an IC, unless someone is escalated; at which point then I might give a referral.

The value of such a solution is that people can just quietly plug away recommendations when they first join and forget about them until that person happens to apply later on, at which point their notice is not just noise.. it becomes a signal on an emerging opportunity. One that might not have otherwise been there.

Bonus; if recommendations are tagged with the user who made them, HR could reach out for additional context on the candidate.

on the contrary, they're all heavily filtered and """aligned""". have a chat with any commercial model about some controversial topic, and you'll see the viewpoints that didn't exist until 5-10 years ago and are only held by less than 1% of worldwide population.

unfiltered data might exist in the petabytes of shit they train on, but goodthink datasets are heavily prioritized.

I am not sure why I am commenting here but proton, please can you give up an api to your drive (particularly) docs and the fact that now we can have anonymous writes and reads if the document is shared properly can genuinely create an interesting stack for blogs with comment engines and the potential is basically limitless.

I think I haven't asked them but I was just trying to do it and I am so frustrated the best I have got is that there is a way to get a curl command with proper cookies etc. to get text written in the comments section but that text is (rightfully) encrypted and I don't know how to decrypt it... I am not sure.

A really dead simple api or library would be.. wonderful. I wish proton could also go like cloudflare except way way more private and could have some proton s3 or proton workers or something tbh.

It really shows how AI is going to change the entire industry.

Let's imagine tomorrow a Product Manager at LinkedIn wants to introduce this as an official functionality? They're going to have to run it by management or their pod (or find the PM in charge of that area if its not them), finish existing project, wait for resources to be ready, have legal/marketing/compliance involved, get it developed, go through all the other red tape, etc.

I don't know exactly how LinkedIn works internally, but I'm sure some of this is accurate.

So maybe, MAYBE they'll have it in a couple of months? But someone can build it in a few hours, even if they're not super good at this stuff.

It changes everything about how we think about products and SaaS software.

You don't typically have just 1 hive. It's usually a group of them.

You wouldn't need an HVAC per hive, but rather 1 HVAC for the swarm. Get a water mass, HVAC it to the right temperature, and then pump the water through the hives to maintain a good temp.

It'd be somewhat more expensive and you'd have to have enough insulation to make sure the water isn't prematurely cooling before reaching the hive.

Hives also tend to be really cheap. They are simply wood boxes. So you'd be competing with $100 wood box with $200 wood box and $1000 HVAC and plumbing.

I add this not only as a quip but to highlight that even a gdpr explainer website which you’d expect isn’t doing the evil thing of tracking users, has interpreted the relevant laws such that it finds it necessary to promt the user in order to simply explain the gdpr and epd/epr…

Fired and layoffs are a distinction that no worker cares about, I'm sure he'd rather be working than getting laid off for "performance reasons."

If you were ever given the option to collect unemployment insurance, this includes taking a severance package where you stipulate to not pursue unemployment insurance, then you were fired.

It's also important to always note that these companies do not care about their workers, they will extract you dry and throw you out.

You're not forced to do anything. There are no criminal outcomes of any anticompetitive legislation.

For companies, there are civil outcomes. This may be undesirable if you have a large financial interest in the company, but it's a tradeoff for the same legislative body allowing you to create a shield from personal liability and taxation.

If you are able to create an ecosystem on your own, do what you like with it.
Show HN: LiteChat or "How Hard Can It Be to" Build an AI Chat App
by Dbuild | 2025-07-01 15:32:11+00:00
Hey HN! So I was happily using another AI chat app but missing a few features like a prompt library or workflows (because who doesn't want their AI to do the work while they make coffee?). I did what any reasonable person does – wrote a lengthy email to https://t3.chat support with my wishlist.

Got back a super fast, thoughtful, and complete "nope" within hours. My hubris kicked in: "How hard can it be? I've done this before!"

Spoiler alert: Harder than I thought. But now I have LiteChat running at https://litechat.dev and honestly? I think it turned out pretty damn good !

*What makes it different:* - *100% client-side* – your data never leaves your browser. Bring your own API keys and you're set - *Multi-model everything* – OpenRouter for 300+ models, plus OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, local Ollama, whatever - *Workflow automation* – chain AI interactions, because that's what started this whole thing - *Power user stuff* – conversation folders, prompt library, search, keyboard shortcuts, the works - *Code blocks that don't suck* – edit them in-browser, run JS right in chat, export individual files or ZIP everything - *Git integration in the browser* – yes, really. Clone, commit, push from your chat app - *Virtual file system* – full CRUD file operations, all browser-based - *MCP server support* – hook into external tools and services

Started trying to build this "vibecoding" with https://t3.chat only (several arm joints thank me for eventually caving and using proper tools). Went full function-over-form so the UI has some... let's call them "discutable choices." Blame Gemini for that.

The repo is at https://github.com/DimitriGilbert/LiteChat/tree/beyond (beyond branch has all the latest stuff) and you can try it immediately at https://litechat.dev – no signup, no tracking, just bring your API keys.

If you're tired of vendor lock-in and want a chat that actually does what you want, maybe give it a shot?

Would love feedback on what's missing or what could be better. Flying solo on this so every star/issue/PR genuinely makes my day.

And yet, if you read between the lines, the funding cut had next to no impact on what is reported here. The third-party organization still did the work, it's not stated how the work was slowed (if at all), and the case that speeding it up would have affected the outcome is pretty weak -- remember, they’re doing a retrospective on something that has already happened, and the article points out repeatedly that they have no effective tools on the mites.

I understand why Science engages in activism like this, but sometimes they take it too far. Because the reality is that it’s not a matter of “bee research or no bee research”, it’s a matter of cutting this or cutting something else with the marginal dollar. It's not even clear from the article what kind of cuts were made to the program. The only mention of budget at all is a brief, unexplained sentence at the top of the article:

> As soon as scientists at the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) caught wind of the record-breaking die-offs, they sprang into action—but their efforts were slowed by a series of federal funding cuts and layoffs by President Donald Trump’s administration.

My guess is that the third-party organization (Project Apis m.) gets a grant from the USDA. But they probably also get funding from the industry, because this is an important part of industrial agriculture. It's the sort of lazy drop-in that you could do in literally any article involving a government-funded organization.

I agree there’s a difference. The OP I originally responded to made the claim “Hybrids have a lower TCO even though they have a higher initial purchase price.” That’s a general claim, and I was seeking information that can support it. I’ve largely received strong general conclusions based on weak general evidence. When pushed, people will seem to cherry pick specific cases, which to you point, isn’t good enough to support the original general claim. Perhaps we’re looking at different data (in which case I’d be interested in understanding why you like one set over the other), but in aggregate, I couldn’t find strong evidence that supports on side or the other.

The SLF infestation was met with a whole lot of handwaving, of "look how dangerous this is", but not much in terms of concrete solutions. Then the population naturally stabilized as predators started feeding on them with basically no action taken other than some city weirdoes stomping on them. Turns out you don't need almighty Scientists to do Nature's job all the time. If this situation is different I'm open to the idea that intervention is needed, but all this parroting of uninformed BlueSky propaganda claiming everything is going to fall apart any time now, just you wait, is getting old. In January planes were falling out of the sky because Trump, in February no more social security because Trump, in March we can't forecast the weather anymore because Trump, in April staglation because Trump, in May World War 3 because Trump, in June forest fires because Trump, and in July Trump is killing the bees. What will the madman do next!
