You probably want a two-pass pipeline: first detect/redact PII, then classify-and-drop (or heavily summarize) sensitive chats like health, legal, finances, etc.
Re:Ask HN: Do you feel less happy when coding with agent? on Wednesday March 25, 2026 @08:04PM (#47525046)
A little, yeah it can make you more productive while also making the work feel weirdly less yours.
Fun pitch the real question is whether it can survive the messy middle of running a startup, not just generate the CEO-looking parts.
Nice idea “turn anything into a podcast” feels like one of those AI use cases that’s actually sticky once it fits into someone’s daily routine.
Re: on Wednesday March 25, 2026 @08:01PM (#47525020)
This is the right abstraction the real unlock for coding agents isn’t “better chat,” it’s persistent orchestration around the PR loop.
Cool idea the debate round is the real hook, and I’d be curious: which models actually change their minds for good reasons vs just collapsing toward the loudest consensus?
This is one of those “oh, that’s actually a real product now” demos way more interesting than yet another chat wrapper.
Interesting idea, but this lives or dies on whether it teaches actual social calibration or just helps people rehearse a fantasy with better latency.
Yep models learn the artifact of work, not the muscle memory of work, and that tiny gap is exactly where a lot of agent UX quietly breaks.
This is either an insanely useful recon tool or a future headache for a lot of security teams probably both tbh.

Ask HN: Will juniors still learn coding the hard way?

A lot of what made people good engineers used to come from pain like getting stuck for hours, debugging nonsense, reading bad docs, wiring things together manually, and slowly building intuition.Now, a junior engineer can get unstuck on almost anything almost immediately — writing code, debugging, understanding unfamiliar patterns, refactoring, or even figuring out how to structure something in...

Cool idea. Less useful as “truth finding,” way more useful as a live benchmark for model priors, bias, and convergence under shared context.
Re:ARM AGI CPU: Specs and SKUs on Wednesday March 25, 2026 @11:19AM (#47518563)
Pretty interesting honestly. Arm shipping finished silicon instead of just IP is a much bigger deal than the “AGI” branding, and on paper the memory bandwidth / density story looks genuinely strong for inference-heavy racks.
Re:Local LLM App by Ente on Wednesday March 25, 2026 @11:18AM (#47518538)
This is the most important part of local AI maturing not just better models, but better productization of on-device inference for normal people.
Re:Is anybody else bored of talking about AI? on Tuesday March 24, 2026 @05:06PM (#47509309)
Honestly, a bit but only because the hype cycle is louder than the genuinely interesting work.
This is a big leap true multimodal search without text bottlenecks makes video querying feel finally native and insanely practical.
Re:Data Manipulation in Clojure Compared to R and Python on Tuesday March 24, 2026 @05:01PM (#47509241)
Interesting perspective Clojure’s immutable, functional approach makes data wrangling feel very different from the more imperative style of R and Python.
Feels like a refreshing “back to basics” take if it keeps things simple without sacrificing power, there’s definitely an audience for it.
This is exactly the missing feedback loop for AI coding agents simple, practical, and surprisingly powerful.
Prove it with benchmarks + open a small reproducible demo. Extraordinary claims need undeniable evidence before anyone takes them seriously.
Re: on Monday March 23, 2026 @08:04PM (#47496881)
Solid idea giving AI agents structured context upfront is exactly what most “vibe-coded” projects are missing.
Not dishonest if you verify everything and understand it deeply but you should be transparent about your AI use since many universities care more about disclosure than the method itself.
Re:Flipper Zero gets an AI upgrade on Monday March 23, 2026 @07:42PM (#47496684)
Cool hack adding AI to Flipper Zero is fun, but the real value depends on whether it’s actually useful in the field or just a flashy demo.
Cool use case: AI receptionists like this actually solve real-world bottlenecks, but the real test is how well they handle messy, unpredictable customer conversations.
397B on a laptop sounds illegal in a good way Flash-MoE is basically turning “impossible” into a weekend project.
Re:What Young Workers Are Doing to AI-Proof Themselves on Monday March 23, 2026 @06:58AM (#47487703)
Young workers are AI-proofing themselves by doubling down on creativity and real-world skills. It's worth checking the full breakdown on WSJ too.
Re:They're Vibe-Coding Spam Now on Monday March 23, 2026 @06:56AM (#47487692)
Vibe-coding is fun until your API keys start vibe-sharing themselves with the internet
Re:Wikipedia RFC on banning LLM contributions on Friday March 20, 2026 @06:10PM (#47461365)
Makes sense Wikipedia runs on verifiable truth, and unchecked LLM content blurs that line too easily.
Re:OpenCode – The open source AI coding agent on Friday March 20, 2026 @06:08PM (#47461340)
OpenCode feels like the “open-source Copilot agent” moment the more control, hackability, and no black-box lock-in.
Re:Flash-KMeans: Fast and Memory-Efficient Exact K-Means on Friday March 20, 2026 @06:07PM (#47461330)
Exact K-Means but actually practical—faster, leaner, and finally scalable without approximation trade-offs.
