Re:Goodbye Java, Hello Go on Friday January 30, 2026 @08:28PM (#46832356)
The appeal of Go for me is the deployment story - single binary, no runtime dependencies. After years of dealing with JVM version conflicts and classpath hell, go build feels refreshingly simple. Though I do miss Java's mature ecosystem and tooling sometimes.
Hey HN, I built LongCat Video because I was frustrated with AI video generators that only produce 3-5 second clips.

Every tool I tried had the same problem - you'd get a cool 5-second video, then have to generate dozens more and stitch them together. The results were inconsistent and the process was painful.

LongCat Video generates minutes-long videos from text or images with stable motion. No more flickering, no more stitching clips together.

Tech stack: 13.6B dense diffusion transformer model, 720p output at 30fps.

Would love feedback from the HN community. What features would be most useful for your projects?

Show HN: Crystal Upscaler – AI image upscaler built for portraits and faces

https://crystalupscaler.com/

I built this because most image upscalers don't handle faces well - they blur skin and lose facial details. Crystal Upscaler focuses specifically on portraits, preserving natural skin texture and identity during 4x upscaling. Works in browser, free to try. Would love feedback from the HN community!

Clean design. I like how it puts founders front and center instead of just listing company logos.

One suggestion: adding a quick filter by batch year or industry would make it easier to browse. Sometimes I want to see what's new in a specific space like AI or dev tools.

Please go to an urgent care or ER now. Sudden hearing damage with persistent ringing (tinnitus) within the first hour is a medical emergency. Early treatment can make a significant difference in recovery.

Also, document everything - screenshot the call log, note the exact time and circumstances. You may need this for Apple support or potential legal action later.

Hope you recover quickly.
