Ask HN: Stopping YC backed business from advertizing fake jobs at my company 25 by quacksilver | 1 comments on Hacker News. A business, claiming to be backed by YC is sending me 5 to 10 unsolicited job applications per day from candidates who have been told that my company in Vietnam is hiring. I have no plans to hire anyone, not least in the roles that they applied for, and feel sorry that the candidates have wasted their time. Sending a spam application would put them on my blacklist anyway. I am hesitant to reply to the emails as I thought they were some sort of phishing scam at first and would just mark me as a positive responder, resulting in more phishing / spam. Though I signed up with a fake email and it seems that they are actually trying to build a job site business at www.featurii.com. The site asks users to connect their Gmail account then appears to spam me as the user, meaning that I can't just block the domain. I am also concerned about supposed mistreatment of ca...

Ask HN: Generate LLM hallucination to detect students cheating 5 by peerplexity | 2 comments on Hacker News. I am thinking about adding a question that should induce a LLM to hallucinate a response. This method could detect students cheating. The best question should be the one that students could not imagine a solution like the one provided by the LLM. Any hints?

Show HN: Metal – stealth browser for enterprise automations 7 by erekp | 2 comments on Hacker News. Hi HN! Today we're launching Metal, a self-hosted stealth browser built for enterprise automation. We have many years of experience bypassing anti-bot protections and CAPTCHAs, and we've seen the same problems solved repeatedly with hacky solutions that don't stand the test of time. We built Metal to address the most common challenges companies face when automating browsers or performing web scraping at scale. Our custom browser comes with everything included—handling anti-bots, CAPTCHAs, and common deployment methods—and is entirely self-hosted, allowing companies to scale as needed without worrying about complicated usage-based pricing.

Show HN: A free AI risk assessment tool for LLM applications 19 by percyding99 | 3 comments on Hacker News. We’ve built an AI risk assessment tool designed specifically for GenAI/LLM applications. It's still early, but we’d love your feedback. Here’s what it does: 1. it performs comprehensive AI risk assessments by analyzing your codebase against different AI regulation/framework or even internal policies. It identifies potential issues and suggests fixes directly through one click PRs. 2. the first framework the platform supports is OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications 2025, upcoming framework will be ISO 42001 as well as custom policy documents. 3. we're a small, early stage team, so the free tier offers 5 assessments per user. If you need more, just reach out, happy to help. 4. sign in via github is required. We request read access to scan code and write access to open PRs for fix suggestions. 5. we are looking for design partners to collaborate with us. If you are looking t...

I have been working on Hyvector for the last five years and finally decided to present the result of my work. Hyvector is an SVG editor that runs in all modern browsers. It is stable, very fast, and capable of handling complex SVG images. Big new features like art strokes, vector tracing, colorizing are in the making, but for now the focus is on pushing a polished first release out of the door. I would love to hear any feedback on what you like, missing features, or any bugs you encounter via our issue tracker: https://ift.tt/OeqC3H2 Note that while Hyvector should work on a phone, it is much more usable on a desktop computer or tablet.

Show HN: AnuDB– Backed on RocksDB, 279x Faster Than SQLite in Parallel Workloads 2 by hashmak_jsn | 0 comments on Hacker News. We recently benchmarked AnuDB, a lightweight embedded database built on top of RocksDB, against SQLite on a Raspberry Pi. The performance difference, especially for parallel operations, was dramatic. GitHub Links: AnuDBBenchmark: https://ift.tt/TMWvhBc AnuDB (Core): https://ift.tt/78qgxOQ Why Compare AnuDB and SQLite? SQLite is excellent for many embedded use cases — it’s simple, battle-tested, and extremely reliable. But it doesn't scale well when parallelism or concurrent writes are required. AnuDB, built over RocksDB, offers better concurrency out of the box. We wanted to measure the practical differences using real benchmarks on a Raspberry Pi. Benchmark Setup Platform: Raspberry Pi 2 (ARMv7) Benchmarked operations: Insert, Query, Update, Delete, Parallel AnuDB uses RocksDB and MsgPack serialization SQLite uses raw data, with WAL mode enabled for fai...

Show HN: ProcASM – A general purpose, visual programming lanugage 5 by Temdog007 | 2 comments on Hacker News. I've been working as a software engineer since 2016. I've always had side projects that I would work on outside of my job. At first, it was just web games. But in 2021, I took an interest in programming languages and started making my own. When I got laid off from my job in late 2023 (budget cuts according to my employer), I decided to focus on becoming an independent developer and being able to monetize my own software. Since I was working on programming languages, my plan was to make a commercial grade programming language. Monetizing it would be difficult since there are so many free and open source programming languages out there. The only way I could think to stand out was to make something that hasn't been made before. General purpose programming languages DO exist; Visual programming languages DO exist. As far as I know, general purpose, visual programming...

Show HN: CodeCafé – A real-time collaborative code editor in the browser 7 by mrktsm__ | 0 comments on Hacker News. Hey guys! I’ve been working on a web app called CodeCafé—a collaborative, browser-based code editor inspired by VS Code and Replit, but with no downloads, no sign-up, and zero setup. You just open the link and start coding—together. The frontend is built with React and TypeScript, and the backend runs on Java with Spring Boot, which handles real-time editing via WebSockets. For syncing changes, I’m using Redis along with a custom Operational Transformation system (no third-party libraries!!!). The idea came after I found out a local summer school was teaching coding using Google Docs (yes, really). Google Docs is simple and free, but I wanted something that could actually be used for writing and running real code—without the need for any sign-ups or complex setups. That’s how CodeCafé came to life. Right now, the app doesn’t store files anywhere, and you can’t export y...
