Pretty cool project. I made something like this years ago, but didn’t carry the vision quite as far, and mine was all native AHK.

I had written scripts at work that were useful and wanted to share. To lower the learning curve I made a GUI, allowed for user defined shortcuts in the GUI, setting their path to various integrated apps, and a quick toggle for help that would show all their defined hotkeys and what they did. I made an attempt to allow users to dynamically load additional scripts, but it only worked if running AHK and a script file, and I wanted to distribute it to the team as an exe, which broke the dynamic loading of a secondary file, but most people weren’t going to do that anyway.

I’ve since moved to macOS at work, and miss my old AHK scripts. It was so handy. I found a couple ways I might be able to replicate some of it without insane effort, but my work is less repetitive than it used to be, so it doesn’t seem as worth it.
funny this is here, two Sundays ago I was sitting looking out the window just letting my mind wander when I thought "genesis isn't being interpreted correctly". I went for to church for a couple of years as a kid but I can't say I know much of religion, I put the thought aside and carried on my day. Later I thought again "I wonder why I was thinking about Genesis being incorrectly discussed, what does genesis even say?". Again I put the thought aside but a few hours later found myself researching genesis... and then the bible, vedicism, laozi, thoth, gnosis, and then and then and then...all the extra hours till a couple of days ago I spent researching and reading. Along the way I ended up producing 3 documents, this was the first of the 3: https://s.h4x.club/JruQOrjy (it's a bit weird, and not really sure why it came out)

According to my friends who i've shared the above with because I felt like I was going a little...nuts...I'm "at that period of my life where these type of things are going to happen" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

> Verification of customer documents

There are quite serious consequences for getting this wrong, especially systematically (making a few mistakes, you may get away with, but you don't want to be the bank of choice for the North Korean secret service, say), so, if it turns out not to work well, "but the magic robot said so" will not be seen as an excuse, and there will be fines and maybe prison sentences.

As above. "We're too cheap to ask a lawyer so we had a magic robot tell us if it was okay" _absolutely_ will not fly.

"Half of the people we've hired for the last two years are totally useless, how are we screening these resumes again?"

The customer support stuff is the only thing you've listed where a certain amount of failure is tolerable for many businesses (most customer support is already quite bad and often already uses questionable automation; if you have _good_ customer support you should be more cautious, but most companies don't). But using current LLMs for the important stuff? Nah, that's not going to go well.

> You still have to cast &[T] into &[MaybeUninit<T>] somehow.

unsafe{ std::mem::transmute(slice) }

This is probably the only way that will ever exist, because

let slice: &mut [NonZeroU8] = ...;
let slice_uninit: &mut [MaybeUninit<NonZeroU8>] = ...;
let nonzero_uninit: &mut MaybeUninit<NonZeroU8> = &mut slice_uninit[0];
*nonzero_uninit = MaybeUninit::zeroed();
slice[0]; // Undefined behavior for sure by now.

Is all safe except for the cast.

I.e. MaybeUninit<T> allows you to write invalid bit-patterns to T, so you can't safely cast a reference to T to it (and if you do unsafely cast a reference to T to it you can't soundly write an invalid bit pattern). All current forms of safely making a MaybeUninit take ownership of the value they are declaring to be MaybeUninit for this reason.

I guess at some point we might get methods for this on types that can take on all bit patterns - if/when that's encoded as a trait.

I don't have any hope for ASICs. GPUs are going to stay, but if enough big countries are only able to obtain new non-Nvidia GPUs, big corps and even governments will find it worthwhile to build up the ecosystem around OpenCL or something else. Before now, CUDA had unstoppable momentum.

Crypto mining was just about hash rates, so I don't think it really mattered whether you used CUDA or not. Nvidia cards were just faster usually. People did use AMD too, but that didn't really involve building up the OpenCL ecosystem, just making it run one particular algo. They do also use ASICs for BTC in particular, I don't think that died.

Show HN: ENT Stack – Full-Stack TypeScript Starter
Hey HN,

I wanted a simple and batteries-included way to start my full-stack TypeScript projects so I built ENT Stack - a monorepo with Express, Next.js and tRPC.

It covers the basics - code sharing (between backend and frontend), auth, DB, validation, state management, i18n, logging, mailing, testing, CI/CD and infra.

Its focus is to be minimal, flexible, and scalable. It uses proven libraries (Drizzle, Playwright, TanStack Query, Tailwind, Zod, Zustand ...) with custom authentication, authorization and i18n solutions that are easy to modify or replace.

The project also contains an NPM package, so new projects can be created with one command:

- pnpm create ent-stack@latest

4. competitors emerged in last few months.
5. being second or third to market, but not too late.

> I know older people who will still walk into the various government offices and utility offices when needed

Yup. I speak from experience.

Government services and private utilities in Texas require email addresses. They require phone numbers.

If you don't have a computer, you're definitely not going to get the emails in a timely fashion. If you don't have a phone, you're not going to receive phone calls or texts. Good luck to homeless!

When you do have a computer, the government services offload your information to a private third party. You are required to do this to enroll in government services, and that private entity has its own license agreement whose jurisdiction is not even in Texas. If you have a disagreement, good luck getting to Idaho to file a dispute when you can't afford groceries. And all of your private information is made available to the lowest bidder.
That's a totally reasonable opinion, I'm just pointing out that "professional and dedicated" workers being concerned is not evidence of anything because it has many possible interpretations. Only if you've already bought into a particular system being well designed and justified does it necessarily entail something negative.

For me cannabis 100 percent effects sleep. You should determine that for yourself, which quite easy to do by keeping a dream journal for 1 month on weed and completely free from weed. That for me is reason enough not to do it. Sleep in critical for high performance, for many people sleep might not be the limiting factor but it is likely a huge factor to being at your best each day.
Glad someone brought this up.

I'm personally fine with o3 being tuned on the train set as a way to teach models "the rules of the game", what annoys me is that this wasn't also done with the o1 models or r1. It's a misleading comparison that suggests that o3 is a huge improvement over o1 when in reality much of that improvement may have simply been that one model knew which game it was playing and the others didn't.
I appreciate the discussion :)

1. > It's the absence of belief in a deity... that provides the foundation that all humans are equal and of equal value.

Historically, this is not true. A couple Greco-Roman philosophers entertained the idea, and surely other cultures here and there did too, but until Christianity, societies in the West believed might makes right. Which makes sense, because this is how the natural world works. Evolution is, at it's core, survival of the fittest. What lasts is what is most fit to reproduce.

Humans being of equal value as conceived in the West is derived straight from Christian philosophy. The Gospels, Paul, St Augustine, Erasmus, Descartes, Leibniz, Locke, etc. This is a widely accepted point, and don't expect to argue this point further, since you can research it extensively.

Perhaps for you, personally, an atheistic belief provides this foundation, and that's perfectly fine, but this is not how it played out.

2. > It's the absence of belief in a deity - and therefore the realization that life is finite, precious, non-transferable, and fair in so far as much is the product of chance - that means we should prefer human life over sentient robots. The consciousness of a one-day sentient robot will likely be transferrable, and therefore durable mostly indefinitely. Mine consciousness is, as of yet, not.

This is without any solid foundation. Why does the transferability of human conciousness matter in terms of its sanctity? You can't poop out what I just pooped, but you don't consider it sacred? And this mentality is restricted purely by technology. Who's to say we couldn't transfer consciousness in the future?

It is also entirely non-falsifiable to say that we came about purely by chance. This athiestic view is actually just as fantastical as a Christian view. You might as well say you believe in Fortuna, rather than God, since the two views are equally dogmatic.

3. > It's the absence of belief in a deity that neatly solves the problem of evil in the world.

How? How do you determine what is right and wrong? If it's purely subjective, then there actually isn't right and wrong. They don't exist.

Christianity answers the problem of evil easily in the book of Job. You can't possibly understand everything God does, therefore you gotta make-do with what you're taught, and if something seems out of place in the world, it's God doing his divine plan. You can't understand it all.

4. > When we die, it's unlikely that even a single lifetime later people then alive will even know or think about how we ever existed. So do what you must to be comfortable now. It'll all be over soon.

This is another dogmatic view that is just as non-falsifiable as any view about the Christian afterlife. To say "nothing happens after we die" is just as rigid as to say "we go to heaven after we die". At least one is frank that it's dogma, and like you say, more comforting and useful in terms of providing moral guidance.

Why would you assume all else is equal? This is exactly why its ambiguous, you have zero data about if all else is equal. If the question is written exactly as stated, "Unknown" is by far the best answer.
It's not that they lack compassion, it's that they have bias and other non-job related issues. They also are usually rushed and busy, often over confident in their own original assessments.

Show HN: Masterkey – A TurboTax-like platform for self-service home buying
Hey HN- Masterkey founder here. It’s 2025, and while we’re supposedly on the cusp of AGI, we still buy houses as if it’s 1925. A recent Fed study [1] found the typical 3% buyer-agent commission is inefficient (shocker) and costs American homebuyers $35B every year. That seemed broken to me, especially at a time where a whole generation is struggling to buy homes in the first place, so I built Masterkey: a self-service option (like TurboTax) for buying a home. If you still want an agent and can afford it, great- but I do think people should have options.

Masterkey walks you from budget planning to closing, giving you step-by-step tools and resources. If you need extra help for a specific step, we’ll provide you with a list of top-rated professionals in your area (e.g., inspectors, real estate attorneys, mortgage brokers) so that you can hire help on an as-needed basis.

We also include a co-pilot-like LLM that has the context of your home-buying journey that you can ask questions to. Obviously, it’s not a substitute for a licensed professional; we just wanted an assistant that stays context-aware.

Some features:

- AI Property Analyzer: paste any for sale Zillow URL, get an instant AI-generated breakdown plus a short notebookLM-style pod summary.
- Open House Scheduler: send a link to the listing agent to coordinate tours (you handle the rest).
- Docs/Tasks/Properties: keep everything in one place - upload paperwork, track tasks, chat with AI about a specific property or document.
- Market Watch: Alerts for new properties matching your saved criteria.

All the core functionality is free. We have a paid tier with higher limits and access to some of the more advanced features.

This is brand new so things like the AI analysis etc are still rather basic, but would love any feedback on how I can improve on it.

If Americans didn’t want outsourcing and immigrants, they would have kept buying made in America goods and wouldn’t bitch about higher grocery / restaurant prices.

However, Americans (like any other group) never wanted to move down the relative socioeconomic rankings, especially relative to other Americans. So when they do, they start wanting to blame others for their lack of competitiveness with the other few billion people in the world.

Are AI Agentic Workflows the Future of Automation?
Hate this particular take. To say increasing inequality in that some people have better access to digital tech than others: sure. To say that it’s a net negative that many but not all humans can now video call their loved ones regardless of location, for instance, is conflating equality with benefit. I’m a hard no on this.

I generally like Francis’ take on things, and I think the main framework of this doc is interesting: “AI is functional, not grounded in physical reality, and not spiritual, therefore it’s not a replacement for human intelligence, and we should be cautious” is fine. I’m not sure I agree on these definitions but until I started working with llms daily, I felt the same way.

But the bogeyman of inequality as a reason to mistrust technology, written in HTML, sent over the internet, to our phones, bothers me.
