I got the full value of my Claude Pro subscription in the first couple few hours of having taking the leap. Hit the message limit and had to edit for reset, but I was already a happy customer given the progress I made on a project that I was trying to recover (couldn't quite figure what was needed to get it ready for real world usable, but Claude Code figured it and it was a good collab getting it there).

Oil companies have a definite history of punching people and then suing them for running into their fist. But I should also point out that Greenpeace is the kind of shitty activist company that also does those kind of tactics, so an oil company suing Greenpeace leaves my priors as "I don't know which side is more likely right in this scenario."

Yeah they should never have tried to copy "Air" from MacBooks, precisely where it meant thinnest/lightest, to the iPad/iPhone line where the products are already thin and light. That has always seemed like a bizarre branding move to me.

If they need a mid-tier brand between entry-level and Pro, just call it Plus. The iPad Plus would make a lot more sense.

Tetricus Labs | https://www.tetricuslabs.com/ | Full-Stack Engineer (Contractor) | Full-Time | Remote (APAC, UTC+5:30 to UTC+10:00) AND Remote (US)

We're a health tech startup building Personily, a psychiatric care platform that combines structured clinical measurement (PHQ-9, GAD-7, LPFS), passive sensing (sleep, steps, location), AI session transcription, and supervision tooling into a single platform for clinicians and patients.

We're looking for a full-stack engineer who can own features end-to-end across our stack:

- Backend: Python, FastAPI, PostgreSQL

- Frontend: React, Vite

- Infra: Kubernetes, GCP

You'll be building secure, high-performance APIs and clinician-facing interfaces, and taking features from concept through deployment. We're a small team, so you'll have real ownership and work closely with clinicians to shape how the product evolves.

Good fit if you: have strong fundamentals across the full stack, care about security and performance, and are comfortable diving deep into ambiguous technical problems.

We are hiring fully remotely in both APAC and the US, with a HQ in NYC.

It took a while but congrats to Daniel Micay and GrapheneOS. Hopefully it is the first of a few (looking at you HMD, Sony, Samsung, Nothing).

Will Motorola allowlist/whitelist GrapheneOS's avb key for green boot state? Does that have any implications for Play Integrity?

Do GrapheneOS finally get AOSP full partner access as a result of this? Will the Motorola device have USB port control, OS virtualisation and GPU virtualisation? Will it have a better secure face unlock story than Pixel 5 - 10?

Will the gushing fans and secret admirers finally stop flocking to me because I switched from Pixel-GrapheneOS to Motorola-GrapheneOS?

Chestnut | Product Engineers (Backend / Full-Stack) | SF + Seattle (Hybrid) | https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/Chestnut

Chestnut builds the systems insurance carriers actually run their distribution business on. We replace spreadsheets, legacy vendor systems, and manual processes with real-time data, deterministic workflows, and AI-assisted tooling.

This is end-to-end product engineering.

You won’t just write APIs. You’ll design schemas, build backend logic, ship UI, deploy to production, and handle the sharp edges that show up with real customers. The problems are messy and state-heavy: payouts that must reconcile with finance, onboarding flows with regulatory constraints, dynamic hierarchies, retries, chargebacks, partial failures.

We care a lot about correctness. These systems move real money and cannot drift.

Stack:
Go, TypeScript/React, Postgres, Temporal, Kubernetes, AWS

We use AI heavily in our workflow — for drafting, refactoring, test generation, and exploring solutions. We expect engineers to use it aggressively. We also expect you to understand what it’s doing, spot when it’s wrong, and maintain strong fundamentals. Taste matters.

You’ll likely thrive here if you:
- Have 3–6 years building real product systems
- Are strong in at least one typed language and comfortable picking up others
- Enjoy owning features end-to-end
- Think in terms of invariants, edge cases, and failure modes
- Like shipping quickly but cleanly
- Want to build systems that operate in production, not demos

We’re a small, high-agency team. You’ll have meaningful ownership and direct impact on customers.

Hybrid in SF and Seattle.

It was a beautiful attempt to reproduce a feeling of community that came from a bunch of kids collecting beetles in the woods for fun. Kids would need to get suggestions on where to go from other kids, and they'd show off the neat bugs they found and trade with other kids. The game was carefully designed to make kids work with each other and talk to each other. That's why you couldn't get all of the pokemon in only one game, and it's why some pokemon had ridiculous tricks to evolving them. It was wildly successful at that goal.

There's a (maybe new?) focus on health in America, and it is tied directly with dollars spent for the most part. If I made $50k more a year, it would disappear down the drain on purchases like lean bison meat instead of fatty ground beef. I'd get more expensive, locally grown and better tasting vegetables. I'd get a home where I could have a cold plunge, sauna, and whatever new toys that data or rumor backs that promise to reduce brain fog, increase energy, etc. As always, America has so much diversity in what you can buy and food/health is no different.

I imagine it'd be hard to take your family from healthy meals back to rice and beans.

Or they all just get fancy cars and big houses to show off, who knows. I certainly can't be sure how my life would change with 7 figures.

focal | Head of Technology & Applied AI | Remote/Onsite/Hybrid (US)

focal is an institutionally-backed, next-generation venture firm. Currently investing out of fund II (2025 vintage), we lead at the start, often pre-incorporation, with up to $1M. The next great venture firm won't just use AI. It will be AI-native from the ground up - seeing sooner, deciding faster, and building systems that compound across every founder, deal, and outcome. That's how a 5-person team beats a 50-person firm. We're building that firm. You'll own how it gets built.

This is a long-term, high-impact founding role with meaningful financial upside (carry in funds) and ownership over how the firm is built. You'll join as our 5th team member and partner closely with our GPs in a flat structure.

Your core responsibility: Build and own the AI-native operating system that becomes our structural edge.

Why this might be interesting to you: you get carry in our funds, full ownership over architecture and roadmap, and a problem space that's genuinely unsolved. Venture firms haven't been technically reimagined in decades.

Who you are: A founder-type. A builder: Highly technical, deeply curious, high-output, high-agency. You move from idea → architecture → shipped - fast. You want real ownership over process and outcome, not a seat at someone else's table. You've built things from scratch that worked, and you can point to them.

Comp: carry in our funds (your upside is tied to fund returns), competitive cash, 100% healthcare, 401(k), 6 weeks PTO, 3 months parental leave, budget for compute/tools.

We're not asking for a resume. Send us your LinkedIn (and X if you have it) along with your favorite thing that you've built and tell us why you're proud of it. GitHub, side projects, demos, whatever.

This seems like the worst of both worlds. If you don't care about the social/interpersonal aspect of reading then just use the internet. If you do, go to a real library.

Seems to be entirely a boredom-fueled bird-watching project for the maintainer. It's not a "nice thing" at all it's an out of place paternalistic nudge that makes teens feel unsafe in their neighborhood.

The only nice things that comes from them are teens "blowing them up", artists vandalizing them or homeless/vagrants selling the books.
Show HN: Tensor Spy: inspect NumPy and PyTorch tensors in the browser, no upload
by jacobn | 2026-03-02 18:05:43+00:00
We needed a side project to give agentic coding a try, and created tensorspy.com together with Junie and ChatGPT 5.2.

Tensor Spy lets you quickly inspect the contents of numpy & pytorch tensors locally (your tensors are not uploaded to any servers).

This is useful to validate your deep learning data pipelines, to check which layers in your diverging model are actually going haywire, and just because it's kind of cool & a lot more convenient for one-off inspections than loading things up in python.

If you work with diffusion models, inspecting the latent space can be quite informative: you want some "noise" in there but it should probably be fairly smooth for your LDM (Latent Diffusion Model) to be able to target it well.

Also, if you haven't looked at your data, it's probably not what you think it is ;)

Basic stats are auto-computed, and any inf/nan values are both counted and rendered with contrasting colors, to help you quickly identify issue hotspots.

The site is free, and our broad intention is to keep it that way (we run a bunch of pro-bono little utility sites in addition to our commercial ones, they're all linked on the about page).

Would love to hear your thoughts, I'm sure there are some stats or utility features we missed, so please give it a spin and let us know!

---

Agentic coding is a brave new world. Three years ago, after the initial rush of ChatGPT's launch, I commented to some friends that "we're standing on the beach and the water just receded". The tsunami is really hitting now. As in: this project took about 2 weeks, and not only would we not have done it without agentic coding, it would have taken months using "traditional methods". With agentic coding, adding .pt/.pth support was basically a single request. And it just worked. Time to adapt yet again.

“One of the four balloon animals of the AI clownpocalypse” is the best sentence I’ve read all week.

I think this is why the LLM revolution has been so existentially depressing for so many senior engineers - we’ve spent our entire careers fighting for exactly what the author suggests, and we couldn’t make progress against the product and management cabal when code took time and people to write. Now code is “free,” and we’re all being told to just get on the train, don’t worry about the bridge being out, we’ll build a new one when we get there, you see how fast we’re going now?

They don't have to, because dispite how incredibly bad they are, people have shown that they don't care. According to the average user, Windows isn't bad, that's just how computers are. They don't care that there's any other way of doing things; the cheapest computer at Best Buy runs windows so that's what every computer must be.

I wanted to touch grass but still be vibecoding. So I ended up building macky.dev which lets me connect to mac terminal from my iPhone without setting up any weird network rules or VPN stuff.

Instead of ssh-ing, macky lets you connect directly to your mac terminal using webrtc from iphone. Which is easier to setup and the latency is much faster because now there is no VPN overhead.

I switched to an iPhone more in an act to protest Google and I regret my decision. Things didn't get easier, they got harder.

I mean for christ's sake, there's no universal gesture for "back". Do I swipe from the side? Press the x button at the top left? The top right? Is there no option I can find so I just force close the app? When I swipe to text with autocorrect turned off why does it change the word I swiped AND the word before it that was already correct? Why can't I swipe the word "racist"? Why can't I swipe the phrase "killed himself" and instead it "corrects" to "Lillies himself" or "milled himself"? (Made for a very awkward conversation about Turing...). Why can I swipe the word "suicide" but not "suicidal"? (These are phrases I've found to be easy to reproduce but it also happens with mundane everyday shit) Holy fucking shit how the fuck is this thing even a phone, it doesn't even do phone things well? I mean as far as I can tell there is no setting which will ever capitalize a singular "i", making it trivial to recognize an iphone user since well... iphones came out...

Not only that, with things like Termux they just work better. Want to sync files to your computer? Easy, rsync. With a few lines in a bash script my phone does daily backups locally. With a few lines I have a script that means my phone is a keyboard for my computer. With a few lines I have I can turn my old phone into something useful instead of garbage. Maybe these things are tech nerdy to the average person and "too much work" but for us? Come on, this shit is trivial.

We ran something similar for a browser automation project - multiple agents working on different modules in parallel with shared markdown specs. The bottleneck wasn't the agents, it was keeping their context from drifting. Each tmux pane has its own session state, so you end up with agents that "know" different versions of reality by the second hour.

The spec file helps, but we found we also needed a short shared "ground truth" file the agents could read before taking any action - basically a live snapshot of what's actually done vs what the spec says. Without it, two agents would sometimes solve the same problem in incompatible ways.

Has anyone found a clean way to sync context across parallel sessions without just dumping everything into one massive file?
by just6979 | 2026-03-02 18:08:28+00:00
"You want to avoid dumping in a bunch of data (like a year's worth of git logs) and telling it to sort out what's relevant itself"

So instead you give it a years worth of changelog.md?

"Better to have pre-processing steps, that find (and maybe summarize) what's relevant, then only bring that into context"

So, not a list of commits that touched the relevant files or are associated with relevant issues? That kind of "preprocessing" doesn't count?

"You can do that by running your git history through a cheap model, and asking it to extract the relevant bits for the current change. But, that can be overkill and error prone, compared to just maintaining markdown files as you make changes"

And somehow extracting the same data out of a [relatively] unstructured and context-free (the changelog only has dates and description, that will need to be correlated to actual changes with git anyway...) markdown file is magically less error-prone?

Is this going to result in net less greenhouse gas emissions?

Maybe but probably not zero, from parents article: "The use of such treated fertilizers will be most relevant for reducing the carbon footprint of milk in countries such as the United Kingdom, Ireland, and the Netherlands, where N fertilizer is a major contributor to the footprint."

In case you are unaware much of the nitrogen in plant matter (food for yeast or cows) comes from fertilizer. And that is extracted using the Haber process (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haber_process ). This runs on natural gas, because it's effectively a waste product of other hydrocarbons being extracted.

Maybe. Businesses have been approaching it this way for at least as long as I've been in the industry (16ish years) and I haven't heard of anyone going bankrupt because of a lack of institutional knowledge.

> Almost all software is unbelievably bad.

This is an opinion. And implies that software would, on average, be better if businesses made more of an effort to retain internal talent vs hire outside talent. And I think that's largely unprovable.

I really like this setup:

iPad + Korg microKEY-37 + KORG Gadget 3 + all a bunch of KORG apps

No subscriptions. Keyboard is wireless but no noticeable latency. In my workflow I pretty much never need more keys but if I do I just use a MIDI adapter and plug a larger keyboard.

KORG apps go on 50% sale several times every year.

The laptop segment is a poor example. Apple is the only company mass producing high performance arm laptops with a completely custom os that integrates to the hardware. You take what you can get. Your choices are: run windows (lol), or linux(whats linux?) system76 is the only company even coming close, but their performance is way behind mainstream unfortunately because they don't have the custom silicon capability that Apple does.

Seems to have been addressed in the article:

> Starting around OpenClaw 2026.2.26, the project tightened plugin manifest validation. Manifests outside expected trust boundaries are now rejected as unsafe. On my Jetson, Bun’s global install layout (~/.bun/install/global/node_modules/...) tripped those checks for every single plugin

I'm not aware of anything WebMCP could add that wouldn't be more useful as an improvement to accessibility tooling instead.

MCP is ultimately another solution to trying to make RPC(ish) situations more RESTful. I.e. they need self-documenting, discoverable APIs.

That's exactly what you can get from both HTML and the accessibility tree, though. We don't need another implementation for it. My guess (conjecture here) is that all the skills, MCP, WebMCP, etc talk is a manifestation of all the model providers and VCs backing them trying desperately to have others find ways to make LLMs worth the cost.

Also from the article:

> Sources at NIST contacted by ScienceInsider say they have yet to see any written versions of the proposed rules, which have been conveyed in meetings.

And:

> Many researchers from these countries—particularly China—have been informed that their lab access will be reviewed by 31 March, and terminated if they have been at NIST for more than 3 years or pose “too high a risk”

So, the high-risk limitation is actual, and affected researchers were already notified by NIST. While no low-risk limitations are mentioned by or attributable to NIST. That part appears to be hearsay and speculation confidently jammed into the headline.

I find that to be misleading. Bob should be ashamed of himself. I hope he can do better. It took me a single paragraph to more clearly reword the article, and I'm not a professional writer.

And what did it change? NOTHING. Absolutely nothing. Tariffs are still here - this morning I accepted DHL package and had to pay it - and even if - Trump/Vence already said its actually good because we will use another vehicle which will allow us to continue collect the money. So it won't be called tariff - it will be called embargo fee. So yes, Trump continues to control all branches, one way or another.

It’s ridiculous, but it’s OK. Because we have other ways, numerous other ways,” the president said. “The numbers can be far greater than the hundreds of billions we’ve already taken in.

Yeah, but the advantage in the modern world is reverse engineering things is easy; if your tech isn't patented, it can be copied, and if existing patents don't cover it, they can file a patent on the copy, and then you're paying royalties to the ones that copied your tech, etc. We're almost at the point that you can take a video, give it to an AI, and have it produce CAD drawings, circuit schematics, and detailed process documents to rebuild something. We're going to need responsive, flexible, and clear laws around things. The current system is also designed around a court system and process that regularly drags out for 3+ years, and results in lawyers being paid obscene amounts of money. Having a clear claim and no legal technicalities means authors don't have to invest years of their lives and lots of money to fight big companies who don't care about losing a few hundred grand just on principle, and so forth.

A whole lot of the pacing and timing around copyright laws originate with conventions from pre-electricity times, and only get perpetuated because grifty people want their legalized scams to continue.
