You also couldn't modify it. I had previously customized Word to suit my needs. When the ribbon version came out I had a new laptop with that version of Word and was just starting grad school. I lasted a semester before it drove me mad just trying to write papers and I switched to OpenOffice (and I now use LibreOffice). I had some compatibility issues back then when sharing documents but I could write without getting angry. I'm thankful for the ribbon though, since it prompted that change and got me started using open source software.

The solutions already exist and have been proven on the battlefield. Peacetime military forces are just slow to adapt, as there are no real incentives to adapt quickly.

Drones such as the Shahed are little more than cheap mediocre cruise missiles. Because they are cheap, the enemy can launch them in large numbers. You counter them by detecting them early and then using plenty of cheap mediocre anti-aircraft weapons. Mostly guns and interceptor drones (=cheap mediocre anti-aircraft missiles).

I didn’t want to be that guy, but pretty much same boat. M3 Max, no issues, no reboots except for updates. Everything seems fine.

I wonder if there’s an issue with older M-series chips? I would image development is done on the latest and greatest, and maybe they’ve unintentionally missed something in the older architectures?

Is the UI great? Eh. But having to work with Windows in my day job, maybe I’m more patient with my Mac?

Yeah, I'm not American and haven't been to Arizona. But from my understanding it can and regularly gets hellishly hot there, no?

But there is something to what you say in that I can definitely spend more time outside on a mellow sunny day in Spain than on just about any day in Eastern Canada where I reside. But it's still not what I yearn for. I'm not a couch potato though as I'm a pretty hardcore freestyle swimmer. So it's not an issue of low energy due to lack of exercise.

I just can't bring myself to care about fantasy role playing games, entertainment based on comic book superheroes, or board games. I have friends who are very serious about some of these topics, and I struggle greatly to pay attention when these things are being discussed. I have some very nerdy interests, but these are not among them.

On one hand, I want to be supportive and happy for them that they are involved in something nerdy and creative, but on the other it's like hearing about somebody's vivid dreams. Neat for them, not great for me.

I'm honestly not a big fan of when people throw numbers implying a high degree of rigor without actually showing me evidence so I can judge for myself. If you're this much more productive, then use some % of that newly discovered productivity to show us.

But building software does tend to come with a lag even with AI. And we're also just more likely to see its influence in existing software first.

I'd rather be asking where it is AND actively trying to explore this space so I have a better grasp of the engineering challenges. I think there's just too many interesting things happening to be able to just wave it off.

Show HN: ResumeForge – Free AI resume builder with real-time ATS scoring
by MikeLee-1 | 2026-03-03 02:37:22+00:00
I built a free AI resume builder focused on ATS (Applicant Tracking System) optimization.
The core insight: most resumes get filtered by software before a human sees them. Pretty templates often score terribly because ATS parsers can't read them properly.
ResumeForge (resumeforge.cc) shows you your ATS compatibility score in real-time as you edit. The AI generates professional summaries and optimizes bullet points for both ATS parsers and human readers.
No signup required. Free to build. $7 one-time for PDF + Word download.
Tech: Vanilla JS, no framework. AI for content generation. Everything runs client-side except the AI calls.
Would appreciate feedback on both the product and the technical approach.

I’m not implying you are stupid. I’m saying straight out that you’re feigning ignorance (ie not that you are ignorant) and you know how the world works in 2026.

Myself personally, I work remotely. I might be running errands during the day and still be monitoring Slack so I can be on a call at 6 or 7 at night with someone in another time zone.

I also travel for work - consulting - and travel personally during the work day and may work after I land. Even if not for work, do you wait to get to your computer to respond to text messages? Check HN?

It's either my country or the parenting I got that makes me incapable of trusting a stranger. I don't know who I might be talking to, or who that person I talked to might talk to, and while it might be fine to talk to someone who you'll never see again, I'm really wary of my privacy and how people knowing what I do for a living (and by extension how much I make) might put me in harm's way.

Since Apple turns 50 this year, I went looking for a graphic that symbolizes what I always liked about Apple and the Mac, without implying I condone anything I dislike about them.

Here's my vector reproduction of the logo for MacAddict's and Guy Kawasaki's "EvangeList", circa 1997 :

How is Apple a decade behind if modern AI is only 3 years old and compelling use-cases are starting to appear on devices now?

And concerningly, their AI products, like their search, will be powered by their biggest competitor in the mobile space. If AI becomes a killer feature, Google has the power to cripple the iBusiness simply by not renewing their current deal. At the least they should have adopted the Microsoft strategy and gotten into bed with all other major AI players.

I get the sense Apple leadership was never bought into the AI revolution (cf their anemic product releases, some of the papers they published) and we're seeing a shakeup in their ranks because they've realized they made the wrong bet.

At least GrapheneOS is releasing up to date OS versions and patches very quickly, quicker than all the vendors except Google.

And in terms of the security, they release binary patches for the exploits under embargo until...... mid-2026. Remember November 2025 security bulletin? Multiple RCEs, media wrote articles about that.... Meanwhile GOS was long patched.

Look at /e/OS releases now: https://gitlab.e.foundation/e/os/releases/-/releases

What is the most recent version? 3.5. What Android revision is it based on? Lineage 22.2, which is Android 15.

It also claims that it includes "all Android security patches available as of February, 2nd 2026" .....but not all patches get back ported, meaning they miss many fixes and improvements.

And that's just the start.

Tbh I'd rather run Lineage Os on the older phone that this.

I feel like this is something we shed bit by bit as we age. When people talk about becoming a more authentic version of themselves as they get older, I think this is part of it.

Winter is my guilty displeasure. I live in Alberta, where winters are relatively long/cold, and I'm near places where I can ski, so I should probably make the most of winter. But, I'm happy with indoor hobbies, and the occasional toboggan/skate/snowball fight with my kid.

On this link:

"They don't want to see what their friends post — they want to be entertained."

I know hindsight is 20-20, but, given how much data Mark et al had at their disposal by 2021, its crazy to me they didnt realise people much prefer being entertained that that keeps them consuming content longer - than just simply observing whats going on with the people they know.

You’re sadly making this a simpler issue than it actually is. There are countless industries that have used immoral tactics to make more money. That includes tobacco companies (lying about health benefits & consequences to smoking), gambling companies (misleading people about how much money they can expect to make), and, of course, oil companies (lying about how harmful gas is to the environment).

Using gas is not actually necessary to have all our modern conveniences. In fact, it is fucking stupid to rely on continuous resource extraction, deleting our fuel supply to create energy, when we can get it continuously for free from the environment with a minor up-front investment.

It is not 100% our fault. This is only like blaming it on Smith & Wesson if Smith & Wesson had created “pacifist guns” that allegedly solved societal violence, or if Smith & Wesson spent huge amounts of money trying to convince people that guns are not actually dangerous objects.

Came here to say the same. At first I couldn't even relate, but then another phase of my life came flashing back to me. All the angst around the pretense, wondering why I like somethings in a particular space but then not others that I was supposed to like...

And then slowly over time the realization that most people were in the same boat and it's just virtue signaling

Now I like what I like, I don't like what I don't like

Have you thought that a lot people work remotely and don’t sit at their desk all day? I have deliverables and deadlines to meet like everyone else. But sometime I would rather go for a swim in the middle of the day in the heated pool when the sun is still out - benefit of living in Florida in the winter - and work late and be contactable (wearing my watch) or go to the gym during the day (downstairs). Business traveling is also a thing (much less than I use to), working with people in different time zones where I’m not going to refuse to answer a message from a coworker in India if they need me.

It’s a fair trade off. My company gives me a lot of leeway during the day and I am flexible about time zones.

I built something very similar and comparble to this with wakeword detection on my raaberry pi.

Groq 8b instant is the fastest llm from my test. I used smallest ai for tts as it has the smallest TTFT

My rasberry pi stack: porcupine for wakeword detection + elevenlabs for STT + groq scout as it supports home automation better + smallest.ai for 70ms ttfb

Call stack: twilio + groq whisper for STT + groq 8b instant + smallest.ai for tts

It's not fixed. It's like anything hard that doesn't come naturally. You may wish you were a guitarist, but actually playing guitar well is really hard. You have to work at it, over and over, for months/years. But if you can move your fingers, you can learn to play guitar. It just won't come quickly or easily, and you may decide you'd rather skip it.

Hi HN,

I spend too much time clicking through GitHub Trending just to figure out what projects actually do. To solve this, I built TrendingAI.

It’s a cross-platform client that uses LLMs (Chatgpt/DeepSeek) to condense repo READMEs into concise, one-sentence summaries.

Technical Highlights:

100% Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP): Shared business logic and networking (Ktor).

Compose Multiplatform: Single UI codebase for Android and iOS, following Material 3.

Open Source: I built this to explore the limits of KMP's "write once, run everywhere" for independent development.

Status:
Android is fully ready (APK available); iOS is currently a WIP. You can browse Daily/Weekly/Monthly trends and backtrack to any date.

I’d love your feedback on the architecture or the UI.

ARM has always been little-endian. Some were configurable endian.

And it's not a hole. We're not about to spend 100 cycles parsing a decimal string that could have been a little-endian binary number, just because you feel a dependency on a certain endianness is architecturally impure. Know what else is architecturally impure? Making binary machines handle decimal.

The 13 mini sold poorly because all of those same influencers just would not stop complaining that it had less battery life than a Max. I mean, of course the battery life wasn’t as good, because it was a smaller battery! But the people who want a mini aren’t influencers who need a phone that can go 18 hours without a break.

It was absolutely this manufactured “range anxiety” that killed it.

They won't.

In my professional experience, having needed to work with relatively unsophisticated people across many time zones, the only thing that worked consistently was "[City] time".

That way people could always check 'what time is it in X now' or 'when it's X in [City], what time is it here', and get correct responses.

Descriptors like "Mountain time" are too vague, especially when there are various places that do/do not practice DST within that timezone, or there are similarly named time zones internationally. (Australia has Eastern and Central time too, for example, and in summer - which is northern hemisphere winter - they split into four different time zones due to varying DST practices.)

Trying to be overly clever and exactly specify the time zone, e.g. "MDT", leads to lots of subtle mistakes in my experience. Often people will think they know what that is, and then get it wrong. Or their calendar app will helpfully suggest MST and they'll click on it, not noticing the difference. All could have been avoided with "Phoenix time" v "Denver time".

I've been building a Windows desktop tool that parses raw HTML locally and extracts embedded media endpoints.

It runs fully offline (no telemetry, no accounts) and can export structured results as CSV, JSON, or PDF with integrity hashes (SHA-256).

It was originally built for repeatable QA validation and archival workflows where deterministic results matter more than headless automation.

Architecture notes (for those interested):
- Electron (sandboxed, context-isolated)
- No use of eval()
- Deterministic scoring of candidate endpoints
- Optional CLI mode for batch processing

I'm mainly looking for feedback on:
- Whether this is useful outside of QA / archival contexts
- Expectations around cross-platform support
- One-time license vs SaaS for a desktop utility

I think the most likely case is: this company is labeling images from meta AI use from people who opted-in to share their data with Meta.

It's certainly possible that it's something much more surprising / sinister, but there is a fairly logical combination of settings that I could see a company could argue lets them use the data for training.

I'm also very certain that few users with these settings would expect the images to be shown to actual people, so I'm not defending Meta.
by Karrot_Kream | 2026-03-03 02:50:59+00:00
I'd argue that a large, international forum is the kind of place where this kind of conversation adds much more noise than signal. There are too many people of too many age ranges who live in too many different places for political conversation to meaningfully result in situations where, on balance, the space agitates for change moreso than collapses into a negative-sum bash fest.

Political activism still seems to be most effective in democracies when folks go in person and try to talk about why they think their positions are good and useful ("canvasing") or when individuals talk to their representatives about issues. IMO many of the problems of democracy right now originate because too many people think that emoting online about politics is a substitute for building consensus in focused groups that have the power to change the issue at hand.

For full list of words see:

https://github.com/curl/curl/blob/master/.github/scripts/bad...

Not swear words or DEI. Mostly sane substitutions e.g. fixing hyphenations and expanding apostrophes. Only oddity I thought was enforcing favor instead of favour.

Comments suggest banning "just" too.

This seems odd to me. I have never seen obfuscation techniques in first party Apple software - certainly not in Espresso or ANECompiler and overall nowhere at all except in media DRM components (FairPlay).

Apple are really the major OS company _without_ widespread use of a first party obfuscator; Microsoft have WarBird and Google have PairIP.

A good toolkit for Ink is much needed, although Ink itself leaves something to be desired, especially compared to https://github.com/anomalyco/opentui (bun only, used by opencode)

I tried to build a Viewport component in Ink, but after scrolling to the bottom of a list of 150 rows, Ink started to render things strangely - the top line overflowed the box bounds, and a few blank lines appeared inside the viewport. I couldn't figure out where the bug was in Ink, I somewhat suspect floating point issues somewhere in the native Yoga<->JS layer?

This is great. I built 3 assistants last week for same purpose with entirely different tech stack.

(Raspberry Pi Voice Assistant)

Jarvis uses Porcupine for wake word detection with the built-in "jarvis" keyword. Speech input flows through ElevenLabs Scribe v2 for transcription. The LLM layer uses Groq llama-3.3-70b-versatile as primary with Groq llama-3.1-8b-instant as fallback. Text-to-speech uses Smallest.ai Lightning with Chetan voice. Audio input/output handled by ALSA (arecord/aplay). End-to-end latency is 3.8–7.3 seconds.

(Twilio + VPS)

This setup ingests audio via Twilio Media Streams in μ-law 8kHz format. Silero VAD detects speech for turn boundaries. Groq Whisper handles batch transcription. The LLM stack chains Groq llama-4-scout-17b (primary), Groq llama-3.3-70b-versatile (fallback 1), and Groq llama-3.1-8b-instant (fallback 2) with automatic failover. Text-to-speech uses Smallest.ai Lightning with Pooja voice. Audio is encoded from PCM to μ-law 8kHz before streaming back via Twilio. End-to-end latency is 0.5–1.1 seconds.

───

(Alexa Skill)

Tina receives voice input through Alexa's built-in ASR, followed by Alexa's NLU for intent detection. The LLM is Claude Haiku routed through the OpenClaw gateway. Voice output uses Alexa's native text-to-speech. End-to-end latency is 1.5–2.5 seconds.

Well, I personally don’t think the answer to, “Our enemies might use the same tactics,” is to avoid entering into what I believe is a justified conflict. Besides, if you think China could push over the US without lighting the entire world on fire then I don’t know what to tell you. Nobody wants that, and they’re not stupid or religiously radical enough to pull something like that. Obviously Iran is, since they woke up yesterday at war with 2 counties and ended up at war with 7 by the end of the day. Imagine if they had nukes.

They also showed me the Wondercab, an open-source arcade cabinet design

Does anyone know what they mean by open-source arcade cabinet design? I went to the link expecting plans/instructions to build one, but there's nothing of the sort there. The RCade cabinet even appears to be based not on the Wondercab's design, but on the Taito Gameroom classics cabinet...

Show HN: Konform Browser v140.8.0-105
by konform | 2026-03-03 02:53:48+00:00
Konform Browser

Some highlights last time:

- Rebased on latest ESR release (obviously)
- Been porting over relevant security-motivated changes from Tor Browser[0] and Mozilla.
- Significantly improved fingerprinting situation making anonymity less of a pipe-dream
- Addons no longer leaking their local IDs in HTTP headers
- ML/"AI" features adapted for local/offline use when enabled (while proprietary cloud snoopies fully removed)

Been quiet on HN previously so keeping this submission brief. Release notes are probably the best resource right now to get an overview and feel for the project. Happy to talk more if anyone has any questions!

Would also love to hear feedback from anyone who's either tried it out or dug into the repo.
