The first season is pretty taut, then the follow-up seasons suffer from every character being at the center of every big thing in tech for narrative purposes, which is to its detriment imo.

Thank you! Vibe coded indeed huh? Wasn't too worried on my end, as if my subscription quota runs out it just fails but doesn't charge me. Very appreciated, the stakes were low so don't hold any atrocious shortcuts too against me.

I really admire that they publicly posted this data, and hope that the platform can find a new type of pivot or draw to bring back a community.

A recursive depth of 1? So it's just subagents..? How exactly can this be described as recursive then?

I vibe coded https://domainhq.ai entirely in a few days with Opus, as in, this was a secondary focus and I never bothered to write any specs. Halfway through I had to ask it to convert it all to React because it was vanilla HTML and I didn't realize (that is not a flex).

I have a .ai domain that I feel is somewhat premium, and seemed to be getting lowball offers from domain brokers. And those I spoke to didn't seem like they were very up-to-date with market news and trends. Exploring services like Namebio were very limited and expensive; the subscription usage for building this was less than the price of a monthly membership (the domain is a different story!).

Domainhq.ai suggested its own domain to buy with its brainstorm feature, and tracks domain sales and expired domains, with reports generated by Claude as it perpetually analyzes price history over time.

The domain was a bit of an investment but I do like it, and the app itself is running 24-7 on a spare Macbook I wasn't using, so I plan to host it myself without paying for cloud servers, and the LLM features are using my personal subscription rather than API credits.

I do plan to add registrations and paid subscriptions (at a fair price, and will make things robust then); I get the irony here, but I also encourage anybody else who needs a niche tool to play around with their own vibe coding sessions to get something usable. Stuff like this does make me question the longevity of tech as a stable career.

It's a great question that I haven't seen discussed on HN yet (though I'm not that active), I think this crowd is still very attuned to interesting but more deterministic problems technically.

This might sound basic but I keep coming back to this idea again and again. Alex Garland really did have the right idea with Ex-Machina, where in the film Caleb claims that he purposefully designed Ava (the AI robot) to have all the internal mechanisms shown, so people would understand always they are interacting with a machine. The point of his Turing test was to show whether they could see past the machine and still empathize with it as a human.

There'd first have to be an intense evaluation and standardization process for AI / measuring AGI now. All current benchmarks are tailored to one use case (e.g. SWE) or are evaluations that can be gamed and manipulated.

I think this would take the form of something more abstract instead of concrete with raw numbers, like a revised Turing Test.

Pls consider donating this to the Linux foundation and making tons of announcements about it.

Can't get behind the design / UX of this site

Damn this was quite annoying

It's insane work when you just search "Coinbase" and literally the first or sponsored results are not Coinbase but scam sites. I've seen this first-hand in Google. Obviously SEO and DA isn't on their side so it has to just be like pay enough and you can push whatever you want.

Great game idea!

Oh boy a competitor to the well-renowned TOON format? I'm so surprised this stuff is even entertained here but the HN crowd probably is behind on some of the AI memes.

Genuinely have no idea what the novelty of this is for versus just uploading a PDF to ChatGPT. In terms of UX it is incredibly limited for a book evolution work.

Now this one actually looks usable

That live data for X is mostly gonna consist of brainrot and egotistical founders and rising vibe coders, that data has to be worth so much less than something like Reddit.

I'd love the chance to be able to share details and get coverage on what I'm building and hoping to quietly launch on platforms like this soon.

A notetaking app that uses deep learning (offline locally) and optional LLM enhancements to automatically organize your notes as you write.

Does doing hard work mean it shouldn't have any docstrings or comments? Cause that seems like an arbitrary way of making it "harder".

Agreed this is more appealing to read and visually look through even.

Not super against cookie tracking or consent especially for a free platform, but these extreme color contrasts don't even seem to have any obvious correlations. Is it done just for looks? That's a crazy decision for a font information site

But how much more profitable are they? We see revenue but not profits / spending. Anthropic seems to be growing faster than OpenAI did but that could be the benefit of post-GPT hype.

The Google Maps revelation seems like a staggeringly obvious but rarely thought about thing. If GDPR was required in the US we likely wouldn't even have to worry about this. But we have to think about not just opt-out but purposefully researching, tracking down, and manipulating default settings which will be hidden away by dark UX anyway.

The goal seems to be to enable as much storage (on-demand) needed for users' data as possible, whilst still allowing exceptions for anybody in a position of power over some people (authorities, governments, tech CEOs, etc).

And if you don't play the game you literally will not be able to live (conveniently).

Good sport!

Love the concept and style, think a tutorial or quick demo would be better since the gameplay isn't obvious at all. If that's the point it should be more engaging in the beginning to gear you towards the actions you need to take.

Two MCP tools back to back on the HN frontpage when seemingly dozens of them doing the same functionality already exist. Both posts written by AI with the typical tells. Daring today aren't we?

I've said this before here, but "best practices" in code indeed is very typical even with different implementations and architectures. You can ask a LLM to write you the best possible code for a scenario and likely your implementation wouldn't differ much.

Writing, art, creative output, that's nothing at all like code, which puts the software industry in a more particular spot than anything else in automation.

They pretty much perfectly encapsulated the point in their fired up response haha.

I imagine HN, despite being full of experts and vet devs, also might have a prevalent attitude of looking down on using tools like MCP servers or agentic AI libraries for coding, which might be why something like this advertised seems novel rather than redundant.
