Show HN: Hyperstar – LiveView/Datastar for TypeScript and JSX
by Jonovono | 2026-02-09 19:29:37+00:00
Been loving building things in Hypermedia land. Started playing around with LiveView, but really loved the simplicity of Datastar with Go.

Wanted to build just a simple website where it was live and everyone saw the same thing. Had an idea to wrap some of the concepts of Datastar around a nice JSX syntax so you could build live pages in a single tsx file.

Would love to hear what you think! Been back and forth on the particular dev experience, greatly inspired by convex

> but now there's a very strong incentive to not report data breaches and have your insurance premiums go up or government regulation come down

I would argue the opposite is true. Insurance doesn’t pay out if you don’t self-report in time. Big data breaches usually get discovered when the hacker tries to peddle off the data in a darknet marketplace so not reporting is gambling that this won’t happen.

Whether he did really have valid work permits, or not, I have no idea. You seem knowledgeable. But I am just generally mildly frustrated by people online jumping to conclusions assuming malice or criminal intent, while knowing nothing about the US immigration process. It is not surprising that people don't know how US immigration works. Why would one need to unless it is something you have to work with? There are so many misunderstands about H1B, GC, etc.

I do agree that really that the core issue is not with this one particular case, but broadly a pattern of how people are treated, and a failure of due process. People make mistakes. Governments are made up of people who also make mistakes. Process is how you catch mistakes and minimize its occurrence. A failure of due process reduces trust that even fully legal aboveboard immigrants will be treated reasonably and fairly. And that is reducing my confidence that I will be staying in this country long term.

These are already arbitrary detentions, well unlawful at least (they're purposeful, just not for legal purposes).

The tens of thousands of detainees aren't being put in hotels... they're going to concentration camps; either in USA where they're forced to work (slavery you might term it, as many (most?) have not broken the law, nor been detained legally); or abroad where the regime's intention appears to be that they die.

I don’t think this is a phenomenon. At the best places I’ve worked, I’ve seen success correlated with actual user value. You do find climbers at certain places but I tend to think it’s a large reason they fail.

Also, I don’t think your OnlyFans analogy holds up. My understanding is that their threat to ban porn was a stunt. A pretty effective one.

Discord is just the next biggest canary in the coal mine of increasing regulatory pressure in the EU, UK (which has had this Discord verification for months now due to laws there), and various US states.

I do wish that the lawmakers had worked more hand-in-hand with technical exports on more privacy-preserving solutions ahead of enforcing these laws. But Discord is doing this because enforcement has already started.

I was at the bar when Claude's answer to this came on. One of my mates was absolutely confused as to what Claude was.

They assumed it was an an ad for a dating app or something. I had to explain it was an ad specifically targeted at maybe the 5% of people who work in software.

Honestly... I don't mind ads. For example, I make music as my main hobby. I actually enjoy getting advertisements for VSTs( virtual software instruments) and various pieces of gear.

I have no problem with Open AI showing relevant ads. Ain't nothing free

The author is correct in that agents are becoming more and more capable and that you don't need the IDE to the same extent, but I don't see that as good. I find that IDE-based agentic programming actually encourages you to read and understand your codebase as opposed to CLI-based workflows. It's so much easier to flip through files, review the changes it made, or highlight a specific function and give it to the agent, as opposed to through the CLI where you usually just give it an entire file by typing the name, and often you just pray that it manages to find the context by itself. My prompts in Cursor are generally a lot more specific and I get more surgical results than with Claude Code in the terminal purely because of the convenience of the UX.

But secondly, there's an entire field of LLM-assisted coding that's being almost entirely neglected and that's code autocomplete models. Fundamentally they're the same technology as agents and should be doing the same thing: indexing your code in the background, filtering the context, etc, but there's much less attention and it does feel like the models are stagnating.

I find that very unfortunate. Compare the two workflows:

With a normal coding agent, you write your prompt, then you have to at least a full minute for the result (generally more, depending on the task), breaking your flow and forcing you to task-switch. Then it gives you a giant mass of code and of course 99% of the time you just approve and test it because it's a slog to read through what it did. If it doesn't work as intended, you get angry at the model, retry your prompt, spending a larger amount of tokens the longer your chat history.

But with LLM-powered auto-complete, when you want, say, a function to do X, you write your comment describing it first, just like you should if you were writing it yourself. You instantly see a small section of code and if it's not what you want, you can alter your comment. Even if it's not 100% correct, multi-line autocomplete is great because you approve it line by line and can stop when it gets to the incorrect parts, and you're not forced to task switch and you don't lose your concentration, that great sense of "flow".

Fundamentally it's not that different from agentic coding - except instead of prompting in a chatbox, you write comments in the files directly. But I much prefer the quick feedback loop, the ability to ignore outputs you don't want, and the fact that I don't feel like I'm losing track of what my code is doing.

I yearn for the days of yore when a few of us would co-lo some boxes at a small local ISP we were friendly with, where we'd get to take advantage of their always-on and (at the time) blazing-fast T1 connectivity. It was low-cost for everyone, and we'd host our own services for whatever was useful to us and our friend groups.

On the other hand: It was kind of awful when even my dialup access would get screwed up because someone's IRC server got DDoS'd -- again -- and clogged up the pipes.

---

These days, the local ISPs are mostly gone. But the pipes are bigger -- it's easy for many of us to get gigabit+ connections at home. Unfortunately, the botnets are also bigger.

How do we get back to what we had?
Ask HN: How do you test payment webhook edge cases?
by jalalmanafi | 2026-02-09 19:30:19+00:00
I work at a PSP. We recently had a production bug where a payment succeeded but our system didn't update — the webhook was delayed 45 seconds.
Stripe's test mode doesn't simulate delays, timeouts, or webhook failures. We ended up writing internal mocks, but it's tedious.
Considering building a simple tool: configurable delays, webhook failure simulation, request timeline.
Curious how others handle this. Do you just write custom mocks? Accept the risk? Use something I don't know about?

>which are fundamentally irreducible

Just no, please stop making things up because you feel like it. Trying to say one of the most hotly debated ideals in neuroscience has been decided or even well understood is absolutely insane.

Even then you get into, animals have qualia right? But they are not expressive as human qualia, which means it is reducible.

> Polytheism is (usually) more open to new ideas than religios dogma of one god.

This is a modern view with hindsight bias. In the ancient world, the existence of many gods did not imply peaceful co-existance, but very heated rivalry and politics.

Ironically pagan authors of late antiquity were the "conservatives" in our modern sense. Pagan literally means "farmer" - it might have similar implications to how we would call someone a "redneck" today. At the time, they were opposed to foreign gods and new influences on their traditional and respectable Pantheon.

My friend has a restaurant and showed me the ad he wanted to promote on Instagram about a pizza coupon was suspended for breaking the guidelines, they mentioned gambling or something. I was quite impressed. When you see that one of the "magnificent 7" is dysfunctional to that level, it's hard not to think we're living the last decades of American economic hegemony, by now propelled mostly by inertial monopolies than anything else.

> Between 1954/ 1959 PRC exchanged material for capita goods and Soviet training speed run industrialization.

No that was loan repayments, the exchange was extremely in China’s favor with 1% interest rates because it was almost pure aid. They in no way paid their own way into industrialization and what they setup was so inefficient sending raw goods out of the country was more efficient than using that industry.

Even with that assistance under Mao ~50 Million people still starved to death. That’s mismanagement of resources as it takes decades to make a new productive member of society and starving people aren’t productive.

In terms of industrialization, they still lagged other countries with similar levels of aid. This wasn’t a poor country being built from nothing, this was a gutted country with ~50% literacy at the end of the civil war that further degenerated for the next decade because a host of terrible policies and endemic corruption that only slowly recovered.

Andrew Carnegie's The Gospel of Wealth[1] lies squarely in the center of the foundational belief that those who've acquired such means have done so because they reflect "the highest type of man, the best and most valuable of all that humanity has yet accomplished."

It takes only a brief glimpse of the real world and its most wealthy to recognize that an abundance of virtue is not what's reflected in reality. In fact, the benevolence Carnegie describes, serves as a smoke screen for cruelty, degenerate acts, and the slaughterhouse of the soul. We've sold out every moral for a bait and switch and it's well past time to reneg on the social contract.

→ Fat Agent: the foundation model providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) absorb everything. One model, one surface, one relationship. Tools and specialists get commoditized underneath.

→ Solver Market: small specialized models outperform the generalist on every specific task. They compete in an open marketplace. Value accrues to the routing layer, not any single provider.

The fast lane isn’t always faster is very true! Haha

What I will say is some of this may be the difference between manual driving - and automatic.

If I’m manually driving - where my follow distance fluctuates more due to speed / traffic - almost no one cuts in.

If I am driving where I’m using the vehicle to maintain a perfect set distance, people cut in.

Again, anecdotal

Yes, they buy some, with roughly the same percentage of new car sales being EV. However, those regions have a significantly higher percentage of households with multiple cars, and they have overall a significantly higher fraction of ICE cars in service than do the warmer areas.

This means you can't really make deductions about EV performance in very cold weather in those very cold regions without getting data on what the EVs are being used for. It could be most of them are in households where they have ICE cars to handle things where they need long range or when they need to tow or haul things, and the EVs are just used for things where loss of range and capacity doesn't matter much.

I have a question though, if they don't have access to chats but they find out the enchilada ad was performing the best, something like this can provide enough information to be used to know about peoples private chats. When someone clicks on an ad you collect a fingerprint, then add more ads and fingerprint more and get a stronger picture about the individuals private chats in chatgpt.

If I were a large donor to a state that was interested in increasing action against abortion, I could hypothetically start running ads targeting people looking to get an abortion with a service that either provides assistance or other means parallel to assistance. If I target that state chatgpt would automatically match my ads to those individuals and I'd have my data. I could increase my donations to target and cull whatever little options those people have left.

Honestly I think this is necessary. I'm not sure how heavy handed their exact implementation of stuff like content filtering would be, but I've seen way too much sketchy stuff on discord servers. Predators, blackmail, harassment campaigns, it's not great and a lot of the servers I'm in already require ID verification by mods to even chat in general. It'd be great if this was opt-in on a server by server basis but I could see that being a problem too.

I've seen way too many governments / companies use "protect the children" as a way to try and push overreaching garbage policy, however I think this one actually might help.

That said, depends on exact details of how they want to do this. We'll see how it goes.

I wonder if OpenAI will be able to use their gen 2 user-observation-adaption platform to actually improve ads?

This could be one of those product afterthoughts that end up being the big company move, like when Apple did the Iphone and then added the AppStore afterwards.

EDIT: Downvotes. I see this is controversial. There are two major threads in the world today with AI. One is that this fascinating tech can keep you occupied in a corner, apps like generative.ai can automate out your work, you can go on holiday, heck you won't even need to work necessarily, just live on welfare and leave the business folks to their thing, that I've heard Musk and Zuckerberg talk to. And then there's the idea that the whole point of society is to figure out how to productively engage with each other, via jobs, that I see JD Vance is all about, and I fully agree with. In which case, the more important question about AI becomes 'How can it stimulate business between 3rd parties', as that will truly drive an economic revival. How AI can improve ads can then be seen to be more central.

That's a lot of work to do. It ultimately works off the issue that most voters are disengaged, while the most interested parties are very engaged.

Corruption is happening out in the open and there's still so many people shrugging in response. One good push back from everyone all at once would fix a lot of things quickly. But that implies the people are united and not instead driven into manufactured conflict by said interested parties. It's basically enough that we're in a post truth era as of now. I don't know how we come back from that

Anyways, repealing Citizens United would be a good first step.

> you can't really spread out parts of a fab that way. > That leaves chips, and you can be sure that whoever gets the fabs,

"a fab" or "the fabs"? We are commenting on news about TSMC building fabs in 3 countries across 2 continents, multiple fabs in each - I counted 23 of them here [1].

Surely, the EU can commit to a few fabs and research labs in different countries, semis are equipment and labor intensive, there's work for more than the EU. There's no need to build all of them at once, a clear commitment will suffice.

Look, I'm very negative about this AI thing. I think there is a great chance it will lead to something terrible and we will all die, or worse. But on the other hand, we are all going to die anyway. Some of us, the lucky ones, will die of a heart attack and will learn of our imminent demise in the second it happens, or not at all. The rest of us will have it worse. It has always been like that, and it has only gotten more devastating since we started wearing clothes and stopped being eaten alive by a savanna crocodile or freezing to death during the first snowfall of winter.

But if AI keeps getting better at code, it will produce entire in-silico simulation workflows to test new drugs or even to design synthetic life (which, again, could make us all die, or worse). Yet there is a tiny, tiny chance we will use it to fix some of the darkest aspects of human existence. I will take that.

I mean, there's a big difference between primary Git operations being down and Copilot being down. Any SLAs are probably per-service, not as a whole, and I highly doubt that someone just using a subset of services cares that one of the other services is down.

Copilot seems to be the worst offender, and 99% of people using Github likely couldn't care less.
Show HN: LLM-use – orchestrate LLMs for AI agents like OpenClaw, cut costs
by justvugg | 2026-02-09 19:34:15+00:00
I built llm-use, an open-source tool to run AI agent workflows across multiple LLMs with routing and cost optimization.

Repo: https://github.com/llm-use/llm-use

OpenClaw-style agents are powerful but get expensive if every step runs on a single high-end model. llm-use helps by:
• using a strong model only for planning and final synthesis
• running most steps on cheaper or local models
• mixing local and cloud models in the same workflow

Example:

python3 cli.py exec \
--orchestrator anthropic:claude-4-5-sonnet \
--worker ollama:llama3.1:8b \
--task "Monitor sources and produce a daily summary"

This setup keeps long-running agents predictable in cost while preserving quality where it matters.

Feedback welcome.

Is it considered a warmer color on the surface?

Mid-day sun in a clear sky is very white, in the 5k-6k color temperature range. It's hard to get a sense of how white it is because of how bright it is. In fact, the color temperature on the surface can be even higher than in outer-space!

Compare this to a "warm" light bulb, which is around 2.5K. Sunrise/sunset is also around that range.

Perhaps the "warm color" sun mindset comes from the only times that people can look directly at it. That is to say, around sunrise or sunset.

On the other hand, at age 20, with very high premiums, I got one of these devices which never beeped except on a few too-short exit ramps on highways in my city. The choice on these exits is to slow down traffic on the highway, or endure a "hard stop" by braking immediately when you are on the ramp, and coming to a full stop at the stop sign.

Just a few of these was enough that my "discount" was only a few dollars. I regret giving Progressive my driving data.

I would hazard to say that most people are upset because a single person decided the fate of our country, and in a manner contrary to the outlines defined in the constitution. And your description of the events there really do clarify just how awful things here are as well - executions in broad daylight, masked men kidnapping people extrajudicially, allegations of laws being violated as a pretext to detail lawful citizens.

It's all horrible and shocking to say the least. And it makes people question whether our actions are justified or the outright thuggery of a wanna-be dictator.

You sit on the arbitrating layer. It sounds like you have some programming experience as you miss looking at the code. I did check a lot of code and got tired of how perfect it were, generated by AI. Latest Claude is insane, does not even make errors. You still have to guide it and it will occasionally go astray and make rookie mistakes. If you extrapolate to 6 months down the road, one Claude API = a team of 10 programmers. None of them sloppy and undocumented. So if one wants to remain pertinent in this new economy of infinite coding, one should go back to project management, learn best practice and software fundamentals. I think there will be a lot of demand for ex-programmers able to steer AI in the most efficient stack, the best architecture and the most optimised deployment. Notions of recurring cost, maintenance and security will help for sure.
