Eventually, we see InsForge as more than just a Supabase alternative. Supabase is great for giving developers a backend in minutes, but it was never designed with agents in mind.

InsForge is a new category: agent-native backends. Instead of just exposing APIs, our MCP servers actually set up database, storage, auth, and policies with safe defaults, so both agents and humans can collaborate without breaking things. On top of that, the system knows how to debug, enforce security, and adapt workflows automatically.

This is a rather big maybe.

Now, from a US perspective rather than an EU one, even being investigated in the US carries a huge risk. It is especially bad in the case that someone wants to prove a point against you. You could suddenly find yourself having to spend huge amounts of money defending yourself because someone wants to make a name for themselves, or you pissed a large political donor off.

Basically, just about any ToM test has larger and more advanced LLMs attaining humanlike performance on it. Which was a surprising finding at the time. It gets less surprising the more you think about it.

This extends even to novel and unseen tests - so it's not like they could have memorized all of them.

Base models perform worse, and with a more jagged capability profile. Some tests are easier to get a base model to perform well on - it's likely that they map better onto what a base model already does internally for the purposes of text prediction. Some are a poor fit, and base models fail much more often.

Of course, there are researchers arguing that it's not "real theory of mind", and the surprisingly good performance must have come from some kind of statistical pattern matching capabilities that totally aren't the same type of thing as what the "real theory of mind" does, and that designing one more test where LLMs underperform humans by 12% instead of the 3% on a more common test will totally prove that.

But that, to me, reads like cope.

I received an invite and spent the last 6 hours generating an ungodly amount of free videos on the Sora app, they are AS GOOD as the cherry picked ones in the demo. They are insane. And the "social aspect" of the app is also very good.

I predict that this will move some people over, and IG/TT will lose marketshare.

free users get the same value as paying customers...JetBrains can do as they please to get some value out of these users. Don't like it, pay up...I'm a long time JetBrains customer (since 2005). I've never asked my employer to pay for my licenses because their tools make me a better developer than any other options on the market.
Show HN: Grapes Studio – HTML-first WYSIWYG website editor with LLM assistant
by griffinkelly | 2025-10-02 14:20:33+00:00
I’ve been working with @artf (creator of GrapesJS) on Grapes Studio, an HTML-first editor with an LLM assistant on top of GrapesJS.

We’re approaching this differently than the new wave of AI app/site builders which are typically generating full React applications, which we think is overkill for simple websites. From talking to people using these tools, we’ve seen a lot of issues with build errors and overly complicated pages.

With our approach you can:

- Edit visually via the no-code editor (drag/drop) or ask the LLM to make scoped changes (like “add a section” or “add a new page”).

- Build with straight HTML/CSS

- Ask AI to import your current site and start building from there instead of total rebuild.

We think there’s a lot of benefit using drag and drop editor functionality with LLMs, or you can jump straight into the code in the editor if you choose.

- Do you see value in this hybrid model (AI + visual + code editing)?

- What are the biggest blockers you’ve run into with AI-only builders?

Let us know what you think.

I'm pretty sure there are hundreds? thousands? of startups ready to launch that all do some variant of FB.

Why are you on YC if you think free market tech is dead?

> But that doesn't mean the same rules and laws applies - or should apply - to one with 1B users as one with 100 users.

lol, what? We have different laws depending on how popular you are? What are the thresholds for when new laws apply? Is it strictly user count? Engagement time? Revenue?

Innovation may be dead in Europe but don't try to bring this nonsense elsewhere.

1. Subscribe to what you want to see 2. Bookmark the “your subscriptions” page; don’t visit the home page 2a. Although if you disable watch history, youtube tries to punish you by blanking out the “home” page. I consider that a good thing. 3. Use an ad blocker to hide the comments and side bar (recommended videos)

That’s pretty much what I do. Discoverability happens off-site, which might be a hindrance for you, but I don’t necessarily want more stuff to watch for the sake of more stuff to watch.

"Everyone" is an awful lot of people. In practice, there will be conflicts and there must be a good plan for handling them. Editing third party source code to change names is not a good plan.

For example, without assuming wrong names on the part of third party developers, a project could compile multiple variants of the same library with the intent of segregating multiple copies of the same symbols (e.g. buried in other libraries as transitive dependencies, in different dynamic link libraries that are selected at runtime, in executable variants that are compiled collectively for convenience).

This would be manageable with explicitly controlled object and library file names, but ambiguous if linking is funneled through ambiguously named modules.

I think it's a bit fallacious to imply that the only way we could be in an AI investment bubble is if people are reasoning incorrectly about the thing. Or at least, it's a bit reductive. There are risks associated with AI investment. The important people at FAANG/AI companies are the ones who stand to gain from investments in AI. Therefore it is their job to downplay and minimize the apparent risks in order to maximize potential investment.

Of course at a basic level, if AI is indeed a "bubble", then the investors did not reason correctly. But this situation is more like poker than chess, and you cannot expect that decisions that appear rational are in fact completely accurate.

Removed windows 10 from my gaming machine for EndeavourOS, an arch based linux distro. Works wonderfully and runs all the games I care about with minimal tinkering. I am now 100% windows-free on all my computers. More concerning though, is my grandpa, who is 89 years old, calling me kind of scared after seeing a classic Microsoft threat like "Upgrade now or else". I don't know what to do. I could probably upgrade his computer to 11 but I really don't want him to have to relearn everything he knows about his computer. Maybe just ignore it for as long as we can?

Over the weekend I built a website for teachers and parents to ask questions from Maria Montessori but couldn't fit all the relevant docs into context windows. The other RAG libraries were either doing too much (IMO) or involved connecting to an external Postgres which felt extra for what I was building. So I created this minimal RAG plugin, built for side projects. It is actually unrelated to nextjs, should run in any nodeJS env.

If anyone finds this useful I'll probably add some parsing for non-text formats like PDF, images, videos.

There's this concept called empathy, and people can share how they experience things. We can also relate our own experiences. So, it might not be a first-hand experience, but we can put ourselves in their shoes. If we see a friend experience something, it becomes a shared experience. When our friends laugh, we laugh too. When they grieve, we grieve with them. Etc

Windows 11 has many GUI failures. In my work I have to do screenshots: the Windows+Shift+S combo takes a noticeable time to come up, and when taking screenshots it doesn’t always bring the image to the foreground. I have had to wait as long as five or more seconds when on Teams calls for it to come up.

Also depending upon some variable, there are two different slow image editors that can display the image when you click on it. They work differently also!

In contrast the W10 experience worked much faster and more predictably.

Well it is obvious. The US struggled against the PRC in the Korea War and that was when the PRC was at its weakest. Now any direct war betwen the PRC and the US would be unthinkable as that would be catastrophic for both sides and the world (and the PRC is stronger than the USSR ever was).

So there is a lot of rhetoric and strategic fuzziness in public statements but the US are not starting WWIII over Taiwan.

> US would be forced to aid Taiwan against China much like it has been doing with the Ukraine against Russia

Of course they would aid Taiwan and they do now. This is not the same at all.

How much do you know? One of my strongest things as somebody who's looked to as a person who knows a lot, is that I will immediately go to 'I don't know' when asked that sort of question. I don't even make an additional promise, I just stop at 'I don't know'.

With your emphasis on 'confidently', it sounds like you're looking at social consequences. I find that stopping the conversation with 'I don't know' and getting on with what I'm doing, socially 'reads' as authoritative. I'm sure part of it is my lack of equivocation: if I went 'I'll get back to you, I promise I swear I'll be able to know eventually, soon, I promise, pinky swear I will honest!' there would obviously be no authority, I'd be grovelling.

I could probably double down, unethically. 'I don't know, what a stupid question, why would you even ask that malformed question, that's not a real question'. I think that would lead to suspicion, though.

'I don't know' can be a power move, if you HAVE the confidence to mean it and let it lie there. I guess that's the answer. "I don't know. This is what I'm actively doing now…" This relies very much on there being many things you do know…

"I'll have to have a think about it and get back to you."

or, similar

"That's needs some thought. I'll get back to you about it."

.

I think there's no avoiding "I'll get back to you" or something substantially similar. After all, the whole point is to tell them that that's what you're going to do.

But "I don't know" is the bit I think you have a problem with. It seems to suggest that someone else would know: if only they were here, they would be able to just "look up" the answer from the right corner of their brain. But you want to communicate that this is a problem that actually needs solving, whoever is doing it. "needs thought" is the best I can think of for that.
Show HN: Gitvizz – visualize your codebase as interactive dependency graphs
by Adithya-Kolavi | 2025-10-02 14:24:48+00:00
Hey HN,

I built Gitvizz to make it easier to understand large nested codebases + completely open source

Instead of scrolling endlessly through files or grepping around, you can just point Gitvizz at a repo and it’ll give you an interactive graph: modules, files, functions, imports — all wired up so you can see how things connect. You can zoom into sub-graphs, follow dependency chains, and even export snapshots or plain-text summaries.

It works with most common stacks (JS/TS, Python) new language support coming soon

Why I made this Whenever I joined a big project or inherited code I didn’t write, I’d always wonder: “What depends on what? How messy is this part really?” Metrics and lists helped a bit, but they never gave me a clear map. So I built Gitvizz to give that “big picture view” at a glance.

Some details -Graph layout is a mix of force-directed + hierarchical (so it’s not just spaghetti) -Under the hood it builds an AST + call/import graph -All rendering is client-side; backend just parses into JSON -Still early — some languages and edge cases (dynamic imports, codegen) are rough

Try it : gitvizz.com Codebase : https://git.new/GitVizz

What’s next - Works best under ~100k LOC right now - Planning better filtering + clustering - More language support - Opening up the backend so plugins can extend it

Would love feedback: -What kind of graph views/layouts would actually be useful to you? -Any repos it totally breaks on? -Features you’d want (like “find all paths from A to B”)?

Thanks for checking it out!

Ok everyone, new news (I should prob do another post).

There are allegations that the president asked a few Gen Z'ers (that's what the protesters are calling themselves.) to do the protests and become violent.

Many people that study with me have been arrested and news is that there will be military intervention to stop the protests.

Burglars are taking the advantage and doing their own chaos and burning house.

Yesterday night a police center and a famous supermarket in Souss-Massa have exploded.

FYI The protest started as a peacful one.

They are not going to ignore it. They are going to appeal it with a hundred lawyers and a truckload of documents with arguments, and somehow get it watered down. This is what it looks like from my pov anyway.

I think courts are generally swayed by many lawyer-hours and many legal-sounding-documents, because the judges are law professionals too, and naturally they think the profession is admirable, and so is doing so much legal analysis.

Maybe the judges in NL are better than that, what do I know.

> that psoriasis is highly comorbid with both Crohn's/colitis and arthritis

2/3 of my biggest fears in life lol. The other being some form of dementia. I have had worsening digestive issues, albeit this was something I had prior to the psoriasis disease.

Honestly, I keep trying to hold out for as long as I can -- not that I am under really any pressure. With each year that passes, better treatments come out. So, if I can make it a decade longer, then who knows what treatments will look like then?

Do the injections hurt? I am not afraid of shots, but I do not know if I can give myself one. I'd need like 3 shots of whiskey and a rag to bite down on, and then I might be able to do it. Hope alcohol doesn't interact with the medications (I don't drink much normally).

> They're what people traditionally imagine as "autistic". But the movement in psychiatry has been to loosen diagnostic criteria to better capture the grey areas.

There has also been a change that reclassified what we would previously have termed Asperger’s Syndrome as Autism. To be clear, AS was always considered to be a form of or closely related to Autism, but that change in language does mean we’ve had a big shift in what is Autism medically and what the public pictures when they think Autism

I lost a ton of respect for the author when he started talking about speech recognition.

He makes a few claims:

(1) That speech recognition isn't end to end because it requires highly sophisticated mathematically crafted preprocessing.

(2) That this is evidence human learning is more sophisticated than deep learning.

So (1) is just nonsense. It was true 10 years ago but wasn't true 6 years ago. And if he's that far out of date, that really poisons my ability to trust him.

And (2) misses some important knowledge about how humans work, which most speech recognition researchers know about. The human ear actually does it's own version of Fourier decomposition by using different length hairs in the ear. The human body does a ton of evolved preprocessing. Given that we could develop in decades audio preprocessing that took evolution millenia to build, we seem to be doing pretty well.

I sometimes wonder what people think who previously would have verbally accosted and ridiculed others who warned of this very state of things coming about, being made identifiable online in a country/society where the government has already also rolled out a panopticon of surveillance and clandestine perception and thought control, where privacy does not exist in public either anymore.

It doesn’t really matter either way because the tyranny and authoritarian control will descend upon people regardless; but do they at least have some kind of guilt, maybe shame, or even realize they are also guilty, not just in basically helping their own enemy, the people in charge of the government implementing these things?

Or do they simply in a somewhat typical narcissistic way just hand wave it away and generously absolve themselves of any guilt and responsibility for the misery they are/will be responsible for?

Turns out the “…fools, and even the ambitious…” were also the “…traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely…”. It was a stroke of genius to psychologically and emotionally manipulate and wage war on the minds of the folks who were fools, i.e., the majority in a “democracy” who gleefully voted themselves into a trap under influence of the created reward system that had them getting feedback that told them they are the good people.

> Federal funding is less than 10% of public school education funding

As I stated above, this greatly depends on your school district. Some schools receive <5% of their funding from the DoE, others receive as much as 75%.

Some of this funding is explicitly for general operations and other funding like that through IDEA is for assisting students with disabilities.

Some of these public schools are already hanging on by a thread and having trouble paying high enough wages to fill positions.

The demonstrations are about his power grabs. They have 0 to do with the genocide. On that topic most Israelis are not against him. It is, in fact, what is keeping him in power and why he wants this war so badly.

~15% of Israelis believe that a terrorist who shot up a mosque (literally all he did) is a national hero.

It shouldnt be that that hard to imagine that most of the rest are willing to look the other way in the event of a genocide against the same untermensch.

try vagus nerve stimulation yoga. kegel with diaphragmatic breathing whenever you get anxious. and limit cortisol inducing food/drink. coffee/tea/meat. sweets are okay if they make your cortisol lower but moderation is key. also eat all meals of the day. and listen to gamma waves music at work. and sleep in a room with open shades so you wake up at sunlight.

these steps will ensure your body actively tries to be in the parasympathetic instead of sympathetic. side effects.. bladder and bowel might become a little bit overactive but that is okay as you r strengthening the pelvic floor.

Those all seem like easy problems to solve.

Draw straws and one person dials in from their desk or a phone closet. Take advantage of multiple locations, which are frequently if not always part of the landscape. I had a similar experience, there was a lady on the same floor who was sensitive to light, versus I had a plant that was dying, so I bought a timer and a desk lamp and set it directly under the lamp to run after hours, and we kept the lights dim during the day.

At some point the rigidity is just another type of enshittification, there to subtract. Ingrained in their culture and part of their prerogative. Denying them the privilege is an insult that earns greater retribution. Pour encourager les autres.

It would literally cost them nothing to be flexible. Solzhenitsyn level material.

Suggests a new unit of measure, the Solz, which characterizes how occult and byzantine the rules are and how vindictive and arbitrary the application. Bonus points for tail-eating and Lysenkoist aspects. Stalin era normalized to 1.

It can be helpful to restate the framing of the question /problem beforehand to clarify, reduce room for misunderstandings, communicate that you care enough to get it right, and also buy yourself time to maybe come up with an answer on the fly. Sometimes an extra minute or two is enough to come up with something good.

I don't know, but I'll find out and get back to you." is fine. If you're really anxious, you can say "I want to give you a good answer, so let me think on this and get back to you. Is an email/slack convenient for you or should we reconvene at <datetime>?"
