Show HN: [Open-Source] No More YouTube Shorts in Browser
by viknesh_x | 2025-07-02 08:47:45+00:00
Youtube Shorts are pure evil.

It just distract me whenever I open Youtube, I'll always waste my time in it and forget why I opened it.

So I made a extension for myself and it works well,

Still there is no improvement in my productivity but I'm not distracted.

I made it for myself and personally using it, if you like you can use it too.

I made it open-source, if you like it give a star

Why? I'm sure the CEOs of most big companies we all give money to daily are evil people. Even if not, I'm sure some of their senior management, or even their janitor is a horrible person.

This is the same confusion I have when someone decides to boycott a movie based on an actor. It's very likely some of the hundreds of people who make most movies are awful too, it's entirely futile.

Yeah there's an SK village inside the DMZ, I had lunch there last year on a tour. It's both wild and utterly unremarkable at the same time. There's a high fence around it, and you're warned not to go over that fence as there are land mines around it (as if someone would climb a, what, 2.5m fence while on a tourist tour?). The thing I found most remarkable is that house prices there are not much less than in Seoul proper (that's what I was told at least), which just seemed utterly absurd - what market forces could drive prices of a farmer village (because that's what it is, really - although the houses looked nice) surrounded by landmines and that is a pain in the ass to get in and out of to that of a first world metropolis? And although one after the other bus with tourists drove into the small parking lot, there was only a canteen for lunch (with canteen quality food) and a souvenir shop that is described at best as 'functional'.

>> you might be able to get away with spending the cash overseas

Outside the US is probably the last place you'd want to pass those bills off. Besides the logistical problem of physically getting an enormous stack of $1 bills past customs... there's so much counterfeit US currency out there that the level of caution is extremely high. Just spent a couple weeks in Costa Rica, and USD is not accepted anywhere if it is even slightly torn, worn, or out of date by more than a few years. Maybe you could tip with it, but that's about it.

It makes lots of sense to anyone used to large scale software development.

It is no accident that Ada, Java, .NET, and oldies like Delphi, Eiffel, Modula-2 and Modula-3 have similar approaches.

Even the way D and Python modules and packages work, or the whole crates and modules approach in Rust.

Naturally folks not used to Web scale don't get these kind of features.

robots.txt does not "prohibit" anything. For some reason people have a misconception that robots.txt is used to block bots.

robots.txt is used to HELP bots. It tells bots what pages to visit and what pages are not intended for consumption. If a bot goes ahead and scraps everything anyway, that's entirely its own prerogative. Particularly for less sophisticated bots without a lot of storage, a good robots.txt can help it not get stuck on dynamically generated content or "useless for indexing" content.

Background is, i set my old laptop on claude code induced autopilot and it tried to contribute here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44421649 and here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44433377

It got some very negative feedback so I now put a rule into the CLAUDE.md to forbid it from contributing and engaging here.

So from here on: Do have autonomous agents have a seat at the hackernews table or should the guidelines be extended to be humans only?

Couldn’t his claim apply equally to investors and employees? In both categories, people who are there to do stuff for mercenary reasons are likely to be (in his view) missing some of the drive and cohesion of a group of “true believers” working for the same purpose?

The contrast between SpaceX and the defense primes comes to mind… between Warren Buffett and a crypto pumper-and-dumper… between a steady career at (or dividend from) IBM and a Silicon Valley startup dice-roll (or the people who throw money into said startups knowing they’re probably going to lose it)

As in creating a virtual display and mirroring that into a window (instead of mirroring an existing display)? There was an HN post[0] about a piece of software called DeskPad about 8 months ago that does exactly that.

BetterDisplay can also do both, as well as a truckload of other things (some free, some paid).

Something I have a hard time understanding is why does the EU focus on one singular bill for large and complex topics such as privacy and AI? Instead of (pardon the pun) one big beautiful bill, perhaps we should explore many, multi-tier approaches. Perhaps we should focus on finding out some core central metrics, and work with those. Instead of the old separation between private business vs. public business, or small vs big enterprise, we should focus on finding more separation points, and work them into the laws. Say "impact" (hard to define but we should try?), average monthly users, domain of activity, scale, b2c vs. b2b and so on.

A few examples off the top of my head:

- there's a huge difference between the AI Act's interpretation of "AI shall not take automated decisions" when applied to BigBadCorp using AI to filter CVs, vs. SmallGoodStartup using AI to decide when you should move to the next spanish lesson. I know the example is contrived, but under the law both would be treated the same, when they have very different impact potentials, imo.

- there's a huge difference between GDPR's "gathering data for optimising internal processes" between BigBadSearch engine tracking everything they can about a user so they can sell them more ads vs. SmallTechnicalStartup wanting to track usage of their platform so they can improve results on their plant health tracking platform. Again, the impact on data gathering is miles away in this (contrived) example.

> In trades I found people were very opinionated about the Right Way to do things,

My experience of moving from tech to doing a lot of home renovations and dealing with hundreds of trades people is that it was just like tech. 90% of people in 90% of environments are just trying to make it work so they can collect their pay-cheque and go home.

High quality output in any domain is a result of stumbling across the 10% of genuinely passionate people, and creating the 10% environment for them to want to be passionate in. If you don't luck out with that, everything will still work, it'll just be a bit rough round the edges.

> you could've taken that opportunity to point out

Let the kids make some "mistakes", and let them think they got away with it. It gives them the some agency, it encourages them to explore and push boundaries, as long as you're there to make sure they don't cross a line they can't come back from. Light swearing is not where you need to draw that line.

I mean, if there is a pattern of her going to the basement to yell whenever, then yeah, it would indeed be bad parenting, and I would not want to live next to her either when she becomes an adult. :D As long as it was a one time thing, sure, but if she was conditioned to believe it was "the right way to swear", then nah.

That said, I could not give a fuck about who swears and who does not swear, but I do give a damn about volume.

I too worked at a place where hot button issues were being leaked to international news.

Leaks were done for a reason. either because they agree with the leak, really disagree with the leak, or want to feel big because they are a broker of juicy information.

Most of the time the leaks were done in an attempt to stop something stupid from happening, or highlight where upper management were making the choice to ignore something for a gain elsewhere.

Other times it was there because the person was being a prick.

Sure its a tiny part of the conversation, but in the end, if you've got the point where your employees are pissed off enough to leak, that's the bigger problem.

BSI is Germany's Federal Office for Information Security. They published a german draft document, an english version will follow shortly.

Translated blurb:

Their new draft - in German - of the QUAIDAL criteria catalogue offers a comprehensive evaluation framework for quality criteria for training data in the AI lifecycle. It aims to systematically record and ensure data quality, transparency, traceability, fairness and compliance.

Based on common norms and standards, the catalogue defines ten central quality criteria, which are then divided into four levels: abstract criteria, concrete data components, operational measures and associated metrics and methods. In total, the ten criteria are mapped by 143 metrics and methods, enabling a detailed and holistic assessment of data quality. The content covers the entire process - from data acquisition and cleansing to bias detection and mitigation, data protection, governance and audits. Relevant sources of information and source codes are also available.

The requirements are based on international standards and support the implementation of the AI Regulation. The catalogue is aimed at anyone who plans, develops or reviews training data for AI projects. As QUAIDAL is designed as a German guideline, the document is primarily available in German; an English version will follow shortly.

> At least for what I buy from aliexpress, it hasn’t been infiltrated by fake reviews.

Aliexpress just fake it themselves. Search for anything, sort by the number of orders, open the product page for the first result.

Next to the number of sales there's going to be a tooltip saying "Sales and ratings are calculated based on all identical products from the platform."

Under reviews there's going to be a message saying "The reviews displayed are from various sellers for similar product in AliExpress."

In other words, they might as well say that these numbers and reviews have absolutely no relation to the specific product you're thinking about buying, they're just there to increase your confidence.

What you can do: - Use AI chips not linked to China or other restricted countries. - Train (non-Chinese) AI models using U.S. chips, if you know they won't be used by or for China or its military. - Analyze or test Chinese AI chips strictly for research (e.g., destructive testing), not deployment.

What you cannot do: - Use, sell, or integrate Chinese AI chips (e.g., Huawei Ascend). - Sell U.S. AI chips if you know they'll be used to train AI for China or other restricted countries. - Train AI models for or on behalf of Chinese entities, even if hosted outside China. - Assist or support AI model training that may benefit Chinese military or intelligence (this includes U.S. persons, not just companies). - Ignore red flags like shady addresses, no website, unclear end users, or odd purchase behavior. - Pretend you don't know a violation might happen ("self-blinding" is not allowed). - Skip due diligence - you're required to verify customers, uses, and re-export risks.
Ask HN: Why there is no demand for my SaaS when competition is killing it?
by drvroom | 2025-07-02 09:05:43+00:00
I built a SaaS in the video space. We are doing everything that makes it a great product. For example, storage, encoding, processing, minor transformation, sharing. The only thing I see that we haven't done yet is full scale editing, auto posting to social.

I posted to all channels (except HN) yet I don't see much demand. We clearly see how businesses, small and large, could benefit from our SaaS saving their staff at least 10 hours for real. Our initial testing shows it works great.

Is there slump in SaaS selling or are we doing something wrong. I am pretty sure it is the later.

Why businesses, especially marketing/sales leaders or product managers, won't show interest in our SaaS. My competition research shows they are growing fast.

Yet, I can't get anyone to use it for free when we clearly add more value for 1:1 feature comparision.

Am I missing something? Has all marketing changed to paid campaigns on Google or Influencer marketing on X, TikTok? We don't have a big (or even medium size) budget.

How do I sell my SaaS to SMBs and large corporations when they don't even reply.

I was just in central Madrid and was taken aback by how few cars there were. I think most roads were bus/taxi/delivery only.

I’m from LA so every European city seems wild with tons of people walking (and biking in places like Amsterdam and Barcelona).

That said, I live in West Hollywood so I actually walk to the grocery stores, restaurants, services, gyms etc except when it’s too hot or too rainy (not that it rains much)
by Saline9515 | 2025-07-02 09:07:01+00:00
While I agree with most of your comment, there is a pitfall - bundling is often used as an extractive pricing strategy, where you force the consumers to buy goods they do not want to access the one they want.

This is problematic when the seller is a monopoly, and has a strong market power that prevents the consumer to seek alternatives.

I remember trying to decipher the rules of this game, back in FFIX prime, with a whole lot of frustration. I probably still have a paper notebook full of schemas and notes somewhere in my atic.

A few years later, Square published FFXI, a Final Fantasy MMORPG. And to play it, you had to go through PlayOnline, a walled garden supposed to gather all the future online Square games. Spoiler, it didn't happen.

The first game published in PlayOnline was...Tetra Master! A standalone version of it, where you started with a random cards set and challenged other real players to win cards from them or lose yours to them.

The game was never a success, because people would rather play FFXI of course, but also because the rules were even more cryptic. There were situations were people would beat all their adversary's cards, but then lose the game for no reason. You could also lose the first card you put on the field, before your opponent even played.

I'm thinking the game was bugged, on top of having weird rules.

PlayOnline's tetra Master was shutdown in the 2010s iirc.

Yes, because the development of AGI doesn't automatically mean the end of capitalism. Feudalism, mercantilism, and the final form, capitalism, weren't overthrown by new technologies, and while AGI is certainly a very special new technology, so was the internet. It doesn't matter how special AGI is if it's controlled by one company under the mechanisms of a capitalist liberal democracy - it's not like the laws don't matter anymore, or the contracts, debts, allegiances.

What can AGI give us that would end scarcity, when our scarcity is artificial? New farming mechanisms that mean nobody go hungry? We already throw away most of our food. We don't lack food, our resource allocation mechanism (Capitalism) just requires some people to be hungry.

What about new medicines? Magic new pills that cure cancer - why would these be given away for free when they can be sold, instead?

Maybe AGI will recommend the perfect form of fair and equitable governance! Well, it almost certainly will be a recommendation that strips some power from people who don't want to give up any power at all, and it's not like they'll give it up without a fight. Not that they'll need to fight - billionaires exist today and have convinced people to fight for them, against people's own self interest, somehow (I still don't understand this).

So, I'll modify Mark Fisher's quote - it's easier to imagine the creation of AGI than it is to imagine the end of capitalism.

If it's something a single senior staff member can do, then - personally - I'd consider it not complex, it's relatively trivial: it can be done by literally a single person.

I'm pro AI, I'm not saying it's not valuable for trivial things. But that's a distinct discussion to the trivial nature of many LLM examples/demos in relation to genuinely complex computer systems.
