I Built an AI Tool to Summarize Tech and Business News – Would Love Feedback
Hey HN,

I built Glimpsy – an AI-powered automation tool that summarizes the most interesting articles from top tech and business publications. The goal is to make it easier for founders, investors, and tech enthusiasts to stay informed without drowning in long articles.

Check it out on X (Twitter): https://x.com/gglimpsy

Why I Built This

I kept running into the same problem: too much content, not enough time. Most tech news is bloated with filler, and by the time you extract what matters, you’ve lost minutes (or hours).

Glimpsy cuts through the noise. It delivers quick, actionable summaries of:
• Startup & VC news (funding rounds, acquisitions)
• AI & disruptive tech (OpenAI, Google, Tesla)
• Stock market & macro trends
• Cybersecurity, fintech, and more

It’s 100% Free – Just Looking for Feedback

I’m testing whether this is actually valuable for busy founders, engineers, and investors. Would love your thoughts:
• Would you use this?
• What’s missing?
• How do you currently keep up with tech news?

Appreciate any feedback. Let’s make news consumption smarter.
> That's tens of billions of dollars you could be spending on your own infrastructure, education, welfare, and so forth.

I don't see that money being reallocated domestically to infrastructure, education, or welfare. The opposite in fact.

Also, what you're arguing seems paradoxical? Either these programs are selfishly serving the interests of the US, and the US is benefiting, or they are of no benefit to the US and are useless.

This is all setting aside the manner in which these funding cessations happened, what the other "many reasons" were exactly, and why those reasons were important to the one person responsible for those cessations (to the extent we can even explain what actually happened). The question of how is probably as important as why.
A Youtuber I follow got in an argument a couple of days ago with someone who kept claiming the expulsion of 750,000 Palestinians in 1948 was primarily voluntary (not by force or a response to threats to their safety). The Youtuber kept asking him for sources (providing his own to the contrary), and the contrarian kept, I shit you not, asking Grok and then citing Grok as his source.

We are fucked.
Seems like historical founders/CEOs like e.g. Hewlett and Packard were relatively decent people despite being immensely successful.

So at least it was possible back in the day (of course after this many years a lot of details were lost and overall standards and expectations were very different back then).
> download the resulting json and then flash the firmware to your keyboard via sudo-level flashing tool

Several microcontrollers come pre-shipped with MicroPython and an emulated flash drive where you can drop Python code to alter the running main()

I imagine you could easily do the same with keyboards, except the FS throws an error when you're writing invalid JSON and the emulated FS has emulated security properties so only admin users can write to it. No need to sudo, just authorise the permission prompt when you download/copy the new config to the virtual flash drive.
I'd rather each bank do the due diligence themselves than some centralized entity removed from anything.

Also almost all the things GP listed apply all across Europe. So the "Spain character assassination" exercise is pointless.
The original link has apparently been changed to a content-free Yahoo post, for some reason only known to "moderators", which makes existing comments bizarre to read.

The original link pointed to this OpenAI document:

https://openai.com/global-affairs/openai-proposals-for-the-u...

It contains this remarkable phrase:

> For innovation to truly create new freedoms, America’s builders, developers, and entrepreneurs—our nation’s greatest competitive advantage—must first have the freedom to innovate in the national interest.

I don't think people need "new freedoms". They need their existing freedoms, that are threatened everywhere and esp. by the new administration, to be respected.

And I would argue that America's greatest strength isn't their "builders"; it's its ability to produce BS at such a massive scale (and believe in it).

This OpenAI "proposal" is a masterpiece of BS. An American masterpiece.
About fingerprinting - was the WebUSB made poorly? I believe the device information can be strictly restricted and given only on user consent. E.g. by default browser sees only plugged-in status of certain device categories.
Maybe I'm just in the minority, I just don't see what purpose this serves.

Besides my mouse, I just don't have anything that uses USB. My phone generally isn't connected, I've not needed a USB drive in years and I struggle to think of a situation where I have a product that uses USB that I need to use my laptop for but also don't want the software controlling it installed on that laptop.
I get Tesla, it's a controversial company, but Apple?
Amazing! The visualizations are so great!
> If people don’t like that, nothing is stopping them from choosing not to sell to Apple device owners. If Apple device owners don’t like it, they can switch to a competitor.

The whole point of this regulation is to enable both sides to make that choice without having to give up on the iPhone and the rest of their app purchases etc. in that ecosystem.
> A folio keyboard cover will work better for most people.

Flexible keyboards aren't useful for people who type for a living :)

Actually I think it's easier to carry around one item that doesn't need to be screwed into anything than three separate items, two out of which need a supporting object.

> The Assistants to the Assistant Vice Deans, the absurd grants in the soft sciences, the absurd increases in undergraduate tuition for degrees that make absolutely no sense.

None of this is related to research funding. Indeed, reducing spend on this could increase money available for research.

Fundamentally, the US has done well by investing in research (and by being a native English country), but it appears that's not something that the current government wants to continue.

And that's totally fine as a democratic decision, but don't pretend that this won't have economic consequences down the line.

If I derive my work using multiple sources, do all the copyright holders from these multiple sources have an exclusive right on my work? How otherwise would people build a knowledge on some topic and then apply that knowledge to build a product if not by reading bunch of (book) material and studying other similar products?
The DMA does make it so you can unlink your Google account from your YouTube account, or your Facebook account from your Instagram account, and that they can't share data. Or what are you meaning?

Windows and macOS allow access to USB devices for user programs. Linux by default does not allow access to USB devices, you need to chmod corresponding pseudo-file in /dev (or write udev rule to make it happen automatically). So when one uses WebUSB (or any other usb software) without root, it won't work immediately.
So everything not pediatric cancer research is of questionable value?

Of value to who exactly? Trump and Musk? RFK Jr?

mRNA vaccines seem pretty valuable to me, for example. They did to the Nobel committee.
Allegedly, the Cybertruck is the first car Musk was involved in designing. All the previous Tesla models were variants of the designs produced before Musk bought the company.
True, but if you add up Chernobyl, Fukushima and all other nuclear disasters per MHw generated coal is still many times more harmful and killed way more people.

And of course Chernobyl couldn’t have happened in the US, France, Britain or any other country run by extremely incompetent halfwits.
Wasn't the current system used in the US developed as a hack for a particular situation that then got extended for things it wasn't actually meant to do? I remember reading something about it in the Big Short.
The browser itself shouldn't have access to raw devices, as that means giving all programs running under your user the ability to flash your keyboard firmware.

The point of flatpak, wayland, etc is to prevent software from having access to everything. Making all USB devices readable and writable again circumvents the entire sandboxing concept of modern systems.

Further advice about life: read, ask questions, dig deeper. You'll be very surprised how many people don't know the basics of anything.
Social democracy has historically been a precursor to fascism, so it makes sense.
If history teaches us anything, it's the fact that we will come full circle, the browser will become the os at some point. People with money want it to happen and they have resources to make us think that we want it too. Might as well enjoy the ride
It should be easy to fix that with browser extension and small native program. Nobody wrote this yet?
it's worked for "run this docker to use this code" sort of things on windows for me. That's all i use it for, it's an inconvenience. Docker, that is. Not docker on windows. Docker in general.
Another way (I think) is to emulate a USB headset and play/listen to data encoded in audio
Why Is Product So Hard?
I can count the times I've needed WebUSB or WebSerial on one hand, and I own microcontrollers. I don't think the fingerprinting risks are worth it for the dozens of end users that don't need to download an electron app to interact with physical hardware.

Implementing the feature and then locking it behind a dev toggle is madness. That's wasting hundreds of hours of dev time that could've gone into something useful to expose a feature nobody will be able to find anyway.

These Chrome-only APIs can stay with Chrome for all I care as a developer. You need one Chromium browser standing by for when websites are actually broken in Firefox anyway, just use that when doing web USB stuff. It's a neat tech demo, but not something that a browser should be doing.

The fact that nobody has made a Firefox addon to add WebUSB capabilities probably shows that this is not worth the dev time for the people that do use the feature.
As a 10x engineer, hard disagree. The modern stack is just too large. Sure, building out an MVP can be done by one 10x engineer, because basically any prototype can be built by a single engineer. But making the UX aesthetically beautiful, adding a test suite (at least for automatic dependency updating), adding observability and alerting, performance optimization, persistence optimization, cost/deployment optimization, day-to-day maintenance automations, architecture and network diagrams, tutorial/how-to/explanation/reference documentation.... you are delusional if you think that can all be delivered, at consistently high quality, by a single engineer.

You can have a single genuinely senior 10x engineer oversee all those efforts, executed by "normal" engineers. But no, not execute them all by the 10x engineer's self.
It's a GPU-heavy demo site. My Firefox on Linux handles it fine.
You don't see anything without user consent.
Missing the point entirely. You must still enable USB support from the site before it can see or interact with anything.
Europe, it’s time to get your spooks inside DOGE. You need the information about these personnel and warehouses. You’ll have to maneuver around obvious agents, and if you can’t tell whether someone is really DOGE, neither can anyone else.

Communication gear tied to navigation will have invulnerable geofencing, so instead of looking in source code for kill switches and dead hands, look for god mode.
> just because you don't like the person who's running/ruining/most associated with the brand, doesn't make the product itself bad.

And just because that product does something you need doesn't mean it's not trash. GP didn't say "all cloud, all social media, all cars". Heck, literal trash is not all trash, people throw away a lot of good stuff.

Many people thought Tesla cars are diamond studded trash since Musk was still an idol. And it was pretty objective, great motor/battery surrounded by bargain bin components.
I thought gmail doesn't disclose sender's IP address? Or I was wrong? This is not good for privacy.

Also, for fingerprinting you can obtain a GPU model via WebGL (helps in detecting a VM), and probably can scan for known browser extensions by trying to fetch extension-specific URLs. Some sites also scan ports on the localhost by trying to connect to them to find out which software is run.
> and can worsen financial struggles for those with low scores by pushing them toward higher costs.

Shouldn’t those costs be higher because of the increased risks they represent? If someone has a habit of not paying their debts, why would a lender take on the higher risk without getting paid more? They wouldn’t, so they simply won’t loan the money.

However on the other side of this, nobody has to borrow money. If you don’t borrow, credit scores are irrelevant.
Yes thanks although I thought it unlikely to be Transport Tycoon Deluxe given the domain name
This however, is an implementation strategy, that most business/"enterprise" developers will fight to the teeth, because they believe, that OOP is the only workable way to create abstractions and that any successful project must have inheritance in it. They never learned another way.

Actually Rust goes a long way towards a similar strategy, by avoiding inheritance and instead relying on structs and traits. That already avoids a lot of BS programming. I am very glad they threw out inheritance and classes. Great design decision right there. I wish FP was made more convenient/possible in Rust though.
Can this function only be performed in secret or is it possible for this to be transparent and still work?
Ha, with AI scammer traps (e.g [1]), it'll be AI lying to other AI, trillions of CPU cycles wasted accomplishing nothing other than speeding up the destruction of the planet.

I suppose one can then declare the mission accomplished: zero scammers left on the planet.

> I literally had a young man confide in me day of election in 2016 that he was voting for Trump because he liked him on the TV show. That's your American voter, when they show up at all.

I don’t find extrapolating a single anecdote to the entire population a compelling argument.
Did you follow some guide or just "made it up" this particular method? Interesting!
An AI that's breaking copyright laws shouldn't be legal. So yes, it's kind of like putting it in jail.
In the credit score system, you get no visibility into the data that is used for your decision. I think in GDPR there's actually a right that any algorithmic decision has to be able to be appealed to a real human. With credit scores, all you'd get is "your magic number is below our magic threshold"
I mean, sure. I read the "noplate" code. Did you ever watch the Mrs Merton show? "So, what first attracted you to the millionaire Paul Daniels?". There's a reason you felt the need to insist that your C language generic containers aren't relying on "complex C++ features" whatever you might decide that means.

There definitely are 10x engineers and they're invaluable, but they're not (necessarily) those who write 10x more good code, but those who understand the requirements and write the right code. And directs others to write the right code.

Most time is wasted when you throw away and rewrite what you did.
> and offline customization tools are all Electron based so there's not much advantage.

Afaik it's only any Via support per se that the keyboard firmware has allowing for such on the fly customization, rather than QMK. With QMK it's all manual flashing (I was somewhat surprised that it was easier than I was expecting to customize the layout/layers/lights with code though, largely thanks to the supportive community).

Wait, under what circumstances are browser extensions allowed to communicate with anything outside the browser?
It has nothing to do with sites. You are missing the point. To access USB device with Linux, any software, including browser, should have permission to access certain files in /dev.
- Firefox addon to add WebUSB capabilities

Note this is beyond the capabilities of web extensions, you'd also need the user to install a cooperating native program.

At which point people are just going to make the native program an electron UI and bypass the browser entirely.
There's no concept of "sick days" here in Germany like there is back in the US. You're either sick or you're not. If you're sick you don't go to work. If you're sick more than 3 days, you get a doctor's note. If you're stick more than a month or something (I forget the exact amount of time) then insurance takes over to help pay your wage so your employer isn't completely hosed.

Ultimately, you're not penalized for being sick. But your employer can still check that you're actually sick, just to be sure. I'm sure many people are taking time off of Tesla work due to stress, which is a valid reason to get a doctor's note here.
Doesn’t that create a de facto credit score?
It already does though. It's the type=upload box we've had for decades. Think of it as how smartphones let you give access to only a specific file or see a subset of files. The "UI" is just using a system control. You can also drag and drop files into the browser too. This is all available to javascript.
When you don't know what a profession does, you trivialize it.

This person isn't an engineer. They think that they made something reasonable in a day or two that an engineer would take a month to do.

This is exactly how AI people look at say radiologists. Oh, they'll be replaced by some computer vision, they just look at pictures and say "good or bad", right?

This is why all of those surveys where people are asked how is AI going to impact some profession are garbage. They mostly ask people who don't know what that profession is, to guess.
I've never quite understood this sort of anti-scammer content and what its appeal is to readers. There are a million YouTube videos and other articles out there that explain, analyze, as well as mock[1] and denigrate scammers - who are essentially modern day slaves [2].

Your interpretation of "people and not the building" is pretty unique to Protestantism in the Christian belief, and arguably the central tenet of Methodism. It is absent in much of the history of Christian (and most other monotheistic) beliefs.

I recommend you look at (as an example), what the Catholic Church did since around the conversion of the Romans through to Vatican II. Even when I was a kid (some decades after Vatican II), attending Catholic school and regularly attending mass, the Catholic Church building was considered an incredibly special place by the congregations.

In my school, the chapel (which held a tabernacle), was once used by some well-meaning but incredibly ill-educated pupils to hold a palm reading booth for a school fete fundraiser. When the more traditional Catholics in the faculty found out, they burst in, soaking the pupils and chapel with holy water and latin prayer (first time used in the school since Vatican II! Showed their colours that day!), claiming that to engage in the occult near a tabernacle was an incredibly offensive thing to do, because the space held a tabernacle, end of.

The whole thing about Protestantism is to remove mystery. Research the early history from Luther through the English Tudors and the King James Bible, all the way through to the Mayflower and the reason why they were fleeing Europe to the New World, and you'll see that big and plain. It doesn't mean that a sense of mystery in terms of rituals and rites held in special designated spaces died and went away though, it just means it's less present than it once was.

For many, many people (billions on Earth today), "holy spaces" remain exactly that: consecrated spaces that are in themselves holy regardless of whether a human congregation is present or not. And this is not limited to Christianity either.

As this was a Methodist Church, I suspect most people who used it would consider it "just a building", albeit one with sentimental memories (weddings, funerals, weekly worship), but sure, it's bricks and mortar and balconies and pews and a broken organ. shrug.

It's just that's actually quite an unusual viewpoint on a global scale, for most denominations.

But more generally you can just run webserver on 127.0.0.1 and interact with it from extension (although I didn't test this particular use-case, it works fine from website, but extension might have its own nuances).
Surely copyright isn't the problem here. Without copyright, music industry could pay nothing for the music..? Just copy it with impunity.

Music industry, presumably, takes a bet on many musicians, and only a few make it. The revenues made by the successful ones effectively subsidise the unsuccessful ones.

Also if musicians are so widely screwed by the bad industry, why don't they create a cooperative agency that treats them well? There's enough money sloshing around in successful musicians' coffers.
