I have just barely noticed this but I think this shows a really interesting trend that is long overdue. Recently many things were hard and now they are 'easy' (ish) which means we are likely to see an explosion of choices. This is good from an ecosystem point of view. Diversity will, initially, cause a lot of issues but in the long term it will lead to many new things.
Ask HN: Doctors Using AI Workflow Automation – What's the Real Impact?
by spenceXu | 2026-01-28 06:02:47+00:00
We see increasing integration of AI in hospitals: systems that auto-generate clinical notes from doctor‘s speech , “radiology agents” that pre-read scans , and even “digital doctor” projects for specific pathways .

I‘m keen to hear from medical professionals, hospital IT staff, or developers in this field about the ground truth.

What specific, repetitive tasks in your workflow have been successfully automated or augmented by AI? (E.g., documentation, coding, preliminary screening).

What has been the actual effect on your daily hours, mental load, and patient interaction time? Are the promised efficiency gains real?

What are the biggest frustrations? (e.g., AI “hallucinations” in notes, rigid workflows, integration nightmares with EHRs, or the time needed to review/correct AI output).

Please share your honest experience, good or bad.

> A problem that would be impossible for a single person five years ago suddenly seems "almost possible" when you can work at a higher level and have the pesky "code" details taken care of for you.

It was already possible - The Ladybird browser started with one person and then a team of experts in maintaining browsers joined in. It makes a lot of sense for them to try to build one from scratch; with / without AI.

The problem which applies to all non mainstream browsers: Is anyone going to use your browser over the established ones because of some technical detail such as, who wrote it or what it is written in?

99.999% of people only care about whether if it just works and disappears away from the user whilst they're using it as a daily driver for browsing or doing work.

How is AI surely going to make this better the other than inexperienced folks throwing PRs they have not read? In fact, it helps the experts rather than the vibe coders.

People should be using email alias. 1 unique alias per 1 uniques service and websites for proper segregation. If any of the unique alias leaked or getting spammed you'd know where the source is and blocking that specific alias would limit the breach. Theres simplelogin.io, addy.io, firefox relay, apple hide-my-email, custom domain catchall etc for that.

It’s ironic to me that a European such as yourself would sit comfortably in a context where people are being regularly arrested and jailed for statements made online, in the UK and Germany, particularly, and look elsewhere to find oppression.

The deporting of illegal immigrants is not oppression - it’s fundamental to a free society that a people have the right to determine who may enter into and participate in their society.

They had already been outed by internet sleuths possibly, but not necessarily, informed by leaks from the police. The FBI is making a press release about an investigation only to save face because the criminal conspiracy is already common knowledge among those interested. In the universe of a competent FBI, which I think is ours, they already know who is in the network. They have well-publicized, patently unlawful dragnet signals intelligence collection capabilities. The targets are people who organize openly on Zoom and Discord, and broadcast volumes of their ideology on bumper stickers, Mastodon, and Blue-Twitter. So why does (if the press is to be believed) an authoritarian, fascist, ultra-right-wing regime allow them to operate? I feel like ICE is Floyd/BLM repeated as farce.

While being the focus, Minnesota is not the only place it's happening. For example, ICE took at least 15 people in the Los Angeles area today[1].

That article is from a local food publication that has largely shifted to covering all ICE behavior in the greater LA area. It's a good place to get a better picture of the kind of stuff that has just become background noise to the degree that it doesn't make the news elsewhere. People could also throw a few bucks their way if they think documenting this is important.

And I'll point to a single example from 13 hours ago[2] for the "the deporting of illegal immigrants is not oppression" type of people like that other commenter. Just a video of a nameless person, taken who knows where, for who knows what, screaming and crying out. This just doesn't make the news, but it's happening countless times every day all over the country in the name of the American people.

THanks for the encouragement. I'm trying to get Debian Linux to run on a Chromebook and it's been no shortage of frustration, especially because ChromeOS is Linux and ostensibly open source, but just getting the kernel booted was an ordeal and a half. I'm currently stuck at suspend not working because something something EC, for which ChromeOS has a userland program to coax it into working right.

Eventually, people will grow tired of it and the pendulum will swing the other way.

It’s why the first move of the administration was to replace senior FBI and military leaders with cronies. To hold the pendulum back.

They absolutely know there will eventually be consequences (by default), which is why they work so hard to throw other people under the bus and make a giant confusing mess of things. To try to avoid them.

>Also, you don't understand that science is a process, based on evidence, and revision is an essential part of that process?

I do, and the process is exactly the point. That human emotions affect the process far more often than we like to admit. Not always, but it's not completely removed from the process by any means.

In each of those cases, it's that no one says, "Oh, new theory, new evidence. Cool, let's test the hell out of it!"

People in positions of relative power sometimes say, "New theory? Nope. Not even going to look at it. No, in fact, you're crazy and you're wrong and get outta here!"

In each of those examples, to some degree the eventual more accurate theory met emotional resistance by people adhering to the status quo, not resistance because of questionable data or poor research methods or non-reproducibility.

Feedle looks useful, I've already found one blog I wasn't aware of. Thanks for recommending it!

I wonder if Feedle will provide an API (even a paid API)? Could be nice to plug this into a metasearch engine as an additional data source. And I guess that might be necessary to add Feedle search to an RSS reader or native app as well.

A lot of people are getting good results using it on hard things. Obviously not perfect, but > 50% success.

That said, more and more people seem to be arriving at the conclusion that if you want a fairly large-sized, complex task in a large existing codebase done right, you'll have better odds with Codex GPT-5.2-Codex-XHigh than with Claude Code Opus 4.5. It's far slower than Opus 4.5 but more likely to get things correct, and complete, in its first turn.

Plus states and counties do it too.

Portland, OR metro gives a $125k threshold to single and only $200k to married filing jointly for supportive housing taxes, which is a 1% tax on income above the threshold.

I have no idea why households that tend to demand less housing (married usually live together) are charged more than singles, who typically demand their own housing at that income level. It makes no sense!

I am talking about 8 USC chapter 12 subsection II (<https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/8/chapter-12>). This is the law that defines how immigration works in the US, and how illegal aliens are removed. ICE is the Federal agency assigned to the task of locating and removing illegal aliens. Even if you don’t like that illegal aliens are being removed, it is illegal to try to prevent a federal agent from doing just that. Instead you should be trying to change the law so that the job doesn’t exist.

>If the officers believed the armed man they were scuffling with fired a shot then it wouldn't be murder.

Is that really how it works in USA? A belief that an incapacitated person fired an accidental shot is grounds for murder and execution? It is technically a murder even if those people legally have immunity, in the same way as the 1930s nazis committed crimes even though they were legal in their country.
Show HN: LinkedIn Mate – Find job opportunities hidden in the feed
by volkanvardar | 2026-01-28 06:12:05+00:00
My wife recently re-entered the job market and we noticed a frustrating trend: many of the roles are shared as regular status updates by recruiters rather than official listings in the Jobs tab.

I don't know why this became a practice, but they are very easy to miss, unlike the job listings with alerts and all kinds of search.

So I built this Chrome extension over a weekend to solve that problem. It tracks specific people or companies and captures those hidden opportunities from the feed.

## Technical / Privacy approach:

- Privacy-First: No data leaves the browser. Everything is stored locally.

- No Monetization: It’s free. I don’t believe in charging people who are currently out of work. No ads, no data selling.

- Classification: It uses simple keyword matching or optional AI classification.

- AI Implementation: If you want to use the AI features, you provide your own OpenAI API key. It's stored with local encryption and I’ve optimized the prompts so it usually costs less than $0.01 per day using gpt-3.5-turbo.

I'm looking for feedback on any features that would make the job hunt more manageable, in this brutal market conditions.

> Some innocent people get caught up in the messy parts.

What's the number of innocents you're willing to sacrifice to get the outcome you desire? Would you be okay if you or your loved ones are caught up in the messy parts?

Are you willing to spend 37 days in jail to solve violations of public order like this person did? https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/dec/18/tennessee-ch.... Would you be willing to go further and undergo torture and bodily harm?
by elcritch | 2026-01-28 06:13:05+00:00
No I was referring to the original comment twisting words. They intentionally invoke the horrors of dictators running over protesters to disperse them.

Your comment showed the actual event, thanks. It showed an armored vehicle slowly pushing through protesters to gain access to something.

Not remotely comparable scenes, so I must assume intentional twisting of words. My comment was written sloppily.

> Will value shift entirely to AI platforms and infrastructure, with most SaaS becoming commodities?

At some point AI platforms will struggle to monetize at the model API layer due to local models catching up. This is why the model providers are focused on AI model integrations at the application layer which invades traditional SaaS companies.

You now need to think very carefully about 'what' to build and assume that someone with a AI agent can clone your SaaS and race you to $0 as a risk.
by bloppe | 2026-01-28 06:14:44+00:00
I'm sure my crude idea has it's shortcomings, but this feels superfluous. Deep-pocketed propagandists can do all sorts of things to pump their message whether a slop tax exists or not. There may or may not be existing countermeasures at journals for that. This just isn't really about that. It's about making sure that, in the process of spamming the journal, they also fund the review process, which would otherwise simply bleed time and money.

This misses the point of how "deportation", snatching of those from communities and decision-making for whom is illegal is actually occurring, and how people are being snatched with disregard to their actual state as a citizen, resident or otherwise of the United States of America.

When facial recognition is said to outrank any other proof, such as a birth certificate, one cannot claim to be operating in good faith when one allows for fallible systems to decide the lives of American citizenry, encourages false imprisonment and allows for violence to be recklessly committed against people who were guilty of no crime at all.

(also, the United States and Canada are alike in their statuses as countries formed of immigrants; we close the door now simply because we feel those coming today are ineducated or don't fit our racial preferences? No different than was done to Chinese people say a hundred years prior.)

One of my favourite cafes ... thirty years ago now ... the barista would set up my drink when she saw me walk through the door, by the time I'd reached the counter she was handing it to me with a big smile.

Tipped her generously on her last day there, got a big hug for it.

There's something no machines can replace.

OP here, one thing I'm still curious about is if Anthropic's trademark hit was just bad/good timing or if the viral growth triggered things over the edge Guessing it was the latter. That project had been called Clawdbot for months before it blew up. Would anyone care if it has hovered around 5 K stars?

also, ran a Shodan search while writing this—994 exposed instances, mostly on Hetzner and DigitalOcean. if anyone here was running one or got hit by prompt injection, would love to hear about it.
by manmal | 2026-01-28 06:16:03+00:00
Why don’t you try it, it’s 2 minutes to setup (or tell Claude to do it), and it uses your CC Max sub if you want.

Some advantages:

- Faster because it does no extra Haiku inference for every prompt (Anthropic does this for safety it seems)

- Extensions & skills can be hot reloaded. Pi is aware of its own docs so you just tell it „build an extension that does this and that“. Things like sub agents or chains of sub agents are easily doable. You could probably make a Ralph workflow extension in a few minutes if you think that’s a good idea.

- Tree based history rewind (no code rewind but you could make an extension for that easily)

- Readable session format (jsonl) - you can actually DO things with your session files like analysis or submit it along with a PR. People have workflows around this already. Armin Ronacher liked asking pi about other user’s sessions to judge quality.

- No flicker because Mario knows his TUI stuff. He sometimes tells the CC engs on X how they could fix their flicker but they don’t seem to listen. The TUI is published separately as well (pi-tui) and I‘ve been implementing a tailing log reader based on it - works well.

It's good that you get some value out of them, I'm not saying it can't happen.

You could probably find the same information, most likely in more detail, in better context, and with improved searchability, from more "traditional" sources. Of course, if it's not clear what you want to know, the algorithm can certainly point you somewhere.

As for neglecting my bookmarks, I mean to do a lot of things ;) (I'll prune them this weekend, promise)

I am not complaining about what people do in their spare time. If the blog post said "someone does this because he likes to spend his own time on it", I would not complain. I am complaining about a) the justifications given which I think are all nonsense IMHO and rationalizations for something which some likes to do, and b) the use of donations which should be better used to improve the software instead of creating more rewrites.

I also do not agree with the Wayland is inevitable sentiment. There are non-systemd distros, there will also be non-Wayland distros. The idea is that only those things survive which are pushed into the ecosystem by the cooperate bullies is wrong, otherwise Linux would not exist.

The Linux desktop was essentially fine already two decades ago and instead of the needed refinements, bug fixing, and polishments, we get random changes in technology after the other, so nothing ever really improves but we incrementally lose applications which do not keep up, break workflows, sometimes even regress in technology (network transparency),
and discourage people from investing into applications because the base is not stable. My hope was that Xfce4 is different, but apparently this was unfounded.
by hubber | 2026-01-28 06:18:52+00:00
Your fantasy is that every human group - no matter the genetics of the founding nomads, no matter how many generations they have had to diverge, no matter the selection pressures of their environment or even random chance, no matter how visibly different they have become over millennia of genetic differentiation - are all exactly, perfectly, indistinguishable in any and all non-visible traits (just because it would be "problematic" otherwise?). That is absurd.

Some may excel in some areas, some in others, some may generally be good at more things than others. That is entirely natural and expected.

I think it is reductionist in the extreme to say "Europeans smarter because Winter cold". I never said that. I would say that it's a reasonable explanation for some of the aggregate behavioural differences we can observe (both "good" and "bad") between Danes and Congolese, for example.

These are difficult to quantify, but in every attempt we seem to find that there are differences evident between disparate ethnic groups. IQ is the most commonly discussed one, while we also have statistics around criminality, sexual behaviours, family structure, academic achievement, income and wealth, addiction, mental illness, etc.

So much of this involves the brain - a physical organ with structure largely determined by genetics. We can physically observe the varying size and shape of the brain and its regions among different groups. There are various mental and intellectual conditions that we know affect certain ethnicities at higher rates than others. Why wouldn't there be myriad tiny variations that influence behaviours and potentials, to varying extents? Why wouldn't you assume that? How is it that you are so sure that everything we can't see inside this black box must magically be identical, even as so much that we can observe is not?

I, frankly, don't know what one stands to gain by denying these differences. It's genuinely confusing and irrational behaviour to me.

Minneapolis has 0.1% of the total USA population. It is to the USA as Dresden, Lisbon, or Genoa is to the EU in terms of population.

While ICE is mass deporting people nationwide, the murders of citizens and general mayhem they’re perpetrating are primarily just in Minneapolis.

2A supporters are mixed. Some genuinely outraged at the gov, some just making up reasons to support Trump anyway. Following the definition of conservatism, liberals are the group the law binds but does not protect, and they are the group the law protects but does not bind.

In the US, Republicans managed to stack the judicial system with acolytes in a well organized, long term operation over years. They broke rules to steal Supreme Court seats, giving them a majority. They control all branches of government. In that situation, the president has massive power to do what he wants. So he is.

Trump doesn’t really seem to care about any issue really. He’s not much of an ideologue. But his advisors certainly are. Stephen Miller is an open fascist who’s playing Trump like a fiddle and loving every minute of the chaos.

But for most of those of us lucky enough to be citizens, most of the time, we’re just dealing with institutional dysfunction exacerbated by Federal dysfunction. Funding cuts, broken commitments, uncertainty.

We also are all seeing the Federal government pre-emptively brand the citizens it’s new gunning down in the street every two weeks or so “domestic terrorists” and posing with signs saying “one of ours, all of yours,” and so on. So it’s very clear that the government is now building right wing paramilitary forces to try and intimidate us. Clearly that’s not working too well in Minnesota, however!

Liberal Americans overall are:
1. Disgusted with Trump et al
2. Keeping relatively calm and carrying on, because he genuinely did win the popular vote in a free and fair election
3. Figuring out constructive ways to deal with ICE, pressure the Democratic Party to pick better candidates, and thinking about how to protect elections in 2026 and 2028.

On a day to day basis, life feels normal where I live, for me, for now.

I had the same conundrum. It costs me far more to be married than to not be married because of the itemized deduction loses. I used to be able to itemize about $21k. But now that I'm married, the standard $24k wins out, which means our household went from $33k deductions to $24k, and our effective rate ends up being about 30%, so that's about the $3k your are penalized. Plus state income taxes and county surcharges on income above $200k at 1%.

It makes me terribly sad each and every year. And each and every year I have to reconsume stories about the man that flew his plane into an IRS building, and the guy from NJ that threatened an IRS agent on a voicemail and then called back immediately and apologized but still got 12 months. Every year I make a decision to not throw my life away. And every year it's a really tough decision.
Show HN: Pixel Arcade Studio –kids make playable browser games by instructing AI
by oliverchoy | 2026-01-28 06:20:52+00:00
Hi HN, I'm Oliver. I've been in the software and cloud engineering industry for a long time (28 years), and this past year genuinely changed how I think about coding.

The bottleneck isn’t syntax anymore. It’s clarity. I now spend more time describing what I want, testing results, and refining instructions than writing code line by line.

The spark for this project came from a presentation I gave at my son’s school in December, 2025. I expected mild interest. Instead, kids were completely engaged — hands up, pitching game ideas, iterating in real time.

That made me question something I’d always taken for granted: maybe the first skill kids need in an AI-first world isn’t coding. Maybe it’s learning how to instruct AI, evaluate output, and iterate responsibly.

Pixel Arcade Studio is a browser-based game studio where kids create real, playable games by giving instructions to an AI assistant. No coding, no installs, no open social features. Games are private by default and parents control visibility.

This is a side project I built nights and weekends. I’m here for honest feedback:
– What would you question or distrust about this approach?
– If you’re a parent, what would you need to see to feel comfortable with it?
