In this episode, we dig into a viral essay from Nairobi about authorship, cultural voice, and what it means when AI “sounds like” you. From there, we head straight into the political economy of automation: if AI replaces human workers at scale, should it also shoulder payroll taxes and social contributions? We also cover iRobot/Roomba’s bankruptcy and what it says about hardware margins in an AI-obsessed market, the escalating rift between Adafruit and Arduino over what “open source” really means, and major upcoming changes to Let’s Encrypt certificates that could silently break your infrastructure if you’re not ready. Finally, we get into the eternal database bikeshed: why UUIDv4 primary keys might be quietly killing your performance, and what to use instead.

    When AI Eats SaaS (and Your Home Directory)

    An AI command-line tool wipes a developer’s entire home directory, AI “agents” threaten to eat SaaS, and yet… where are all the truly AI-generated apps? In this episode of HackerNews.fm, we dig into some of the most upvoted HN threads on the ironies of automation, the dangers of giving AI real system access, and the gap between AI hype and actual shipped software. Stories covered in this episode: 1. 01:05 Claude CLI deleted my home directory Wiped my whole Mac - Rank: 12 - Points: 202 - Comments: 162 - Article: https://old.reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/comments/1pgxckk/claude_cli_deleted_my_entire_home_directory_wiped/ - HN Discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46268222 2. 02:06 AI and the ironies of automation – Part 2 - Rank: 1 - Points: 234 - Comments: 104 - Article: https://www.ufried.com/blog/ironies_of_ai_2/ - HN Discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46262816 3. 05:50 The Gorman Paradox: Where Are All the AI-Generated Apps? - Rank: 3 - Points: 119 - Comments: 163 - Article: https://codemanship.wordpress.com/2025/12/14/the-gorman-paradox-where-are-all-the-ai-generated-apps/ - HN Discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46262545 4. 08:51 AI agents are starting to eat SaaS - Rank: 2 - Points: 86 - Comments: 110 - Article: https://martinalderson.com/posts/ai-agents-are-starting-to-eat-saas/ - HN Discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46268452 5. 11:21 GraphQL: The Enterprise Honeymoon Is Over - Rank: 6 - Points: 221 - Comments: 196 - Article: https://johnjames.blog/posts/graphql-the-enterprise-honeymoon-is-over - HN Discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46264704 6. 15:15 Ask HN: What Are You Working On?

    Platforms, Propaganda, and a 100-Year-Old Hacker

    Apple locks a long-time user out of their digital life, researchers put a price tag on manipulating elections with fake accounts, and Apple quietly turns Thunderbolt into a DIY AI supercomputer fabric. In this episode, we dive into platform power, the economics of online manipulation, and the a blurring line between consumer hardware and AI clusters. We also explore how “skills” system could change how we build on top of AI models, and we pull out the most practical advice from an “Ask HN” on getting better at using AI for programming.We also cover Twilio Segment’s move back to a monolith (and what it says about microservices hype) and a nostalgic celebration of Dick Van Dyke at 100 as an Amiga-loving computer animator.

    Horses, Hardware, and Hollywood: AI’s Next Phase

    When does “slow and steady” AI progress suddenly turn into something that looks like human-level intelligence? In this episode, we kick off with the viral “Horses” essay on why AI progress feels linear—right up until it doesn’t—and how that framing is reshaping Hacker News debates about timelines, safety, and what “equivalence” even means. From there we jump into the hardware trenches with Rivian’s new custom silicon and lidar roadmap, exploring how vertical integration and autonomy platforms are becoming table stakes for EV players.We also dive into a some AI platform power moves: Disney’s partnership with OpenAI’s Sora and what it means for creators and streaming, and why Apple’s seemingly slow and cautious AI rollout is suddenly being seen as a strategic strength on Wall Street. On the software reliability front, we unpack a serious denial-of-service and source exposure vulnerability in React Server Components, then cool down with a delightfully nerdy Show HN: a spreadsheet where formulas update *backwards*, turning dependencies on their head.

    AI Models Level Up, Dev Platforms Melt Down, and Tool Names Get Weird

    Today we’ve got the hotly anticipated launch of GPT 5.2, hindsight machines auto-grading decade-old HN debates, and an engineer who’s asked Claude to refactor their codebase literally hundreds of times, plus a rant-worthy saga on why getting a Gemini API key still feels like pulling teeth.

    Why AGI “Will Not Happen”, Mental Health Benchmarks, and a World-First Social Ban

    In this episode we cover a wild “future HN” experiment powered by Gemini Pro 3, then pivot hard into the very real present: Australia’s world-first ban on teen social media use and what it might signal for global regulation, online identity, and the next generation of internet natives.From there we dive into whether large language models can safely help with mental health, a surprisingly controversial font coup in U.S. government documents, and a long-form argument that AGI will never arrive. We round it out with Anthropic open-sourcing the Model Context Protocol and a quirky paper on transformers learning the Collatz sequence. 01:06 Show HN: Gemini Pro 3 Hallucinates the HN Front Page 10 Years from Today- Rank: 1 - Points: 3253 - Comments: 927- Article: https://dosaygo-studio.github.io/hn-front-page-2035/news- HN Discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4620563201:57 Australia begins enforcing world-first teen social media ban- Rank: 2 - Points: 693 - Comments: 1089- Article: https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/australia-social-media-ban-takes-effect-world-first-2025-12-09/- HN Discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4620834805:37 New benchmark shows top LLMs struggle in real mental health care- Rank: 1 - Points: 105 - Comments: 147- Article: https://swordhealth.com/newsroom/sword-introduces-mindeval- HN Discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4621757809:19 Why AGI Will Not Happen- Rank: unknown - Points: 44 - Comments: 49- Article: https://timdettmers.com/2025/12/10/why-agi-will-not-happen/- HN Discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4621853713:17 Donating the Model Context Protocol and Establishing the Agentic AI Foundation- Rank: 15 - Points: 277 - Comments: 126- Article: https://www.anthropic.com/news/donating-the-model-context-protocol-and-establishing-of-the-agentic-ai-foundation- HN Discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4620742516:43 Transformers know more than they can tell: Learning the Collatz sequence- Rank: 35 - Points: 126 - Comments: 44- Article: https://www.arxiv.org/pdf/2511.10811- HN Discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4613759620:50 Rubio stages font coup: Times New Roman ousts Calibri- Rank: 6 - Points: 238 - Comments: 385- Article: https://www.reuters.com/world/us/rubio-stages-font-coup-times-new-roman-ousts-calibri-2025-12-09/- HN Discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46212438

    Hacker News in 2035, Training an LLM at home, and Mistral's latest open model

    What happens when an LLM hallucinates the Hacker News front page ten years into the future and then the rest of the internet tries to debug it? In today’s HackerNews.fm (Dec 9, 2025), we dig into a wild “Show HN” experiment with Gemini Pro 3, a brand‑new Pebble device pitched as “external memory for your brain,” and Mistral’s latest shot at autonomous coding with Devstral 2 and the Vibe CLI. Then we zoom out: from a bold new theory about a universal “weight subspace” for neural networks, to training a home‑grown LLM on a single RTX 3090, to a mind‑bending argument that time itself might not exist the way we think it does.

  8. Nvidia’s Money Cycle, IBM Buys Kafka’s Champion, and 90% Cheaper Software

    09.12.2025

    Nvidia’s Money Cycle, IBM Buys Kafka’s Champion, and 90% Cheaper Software

    Nvidia’s “virtuous cycle” of circular funding, IBM’s surprise move to buy Confluent, and a bold claim that software development costs just dropped 90% — this episode of HackerNews.fm is stacked with stories reshaping how we build and fund technology. We dig into how Nvidia may be indirectly financing demand for its own GPUs, why IBM wants to own the Kafka-native data streaming layer, and whether AI-assisted development really changes the economics of shipping code. We also explore the “confident idiot” problem in AI and why vibe-based evaluations are failing us, a hands-on deep dive into AMD GPU debugging that has HN engineers excited, and a delightful retro project: recreating the 1996 Space Jam website with Claude. As always, we pull directly from the top of Hacker News and break down what builders, founders, and engineers are arguing about right now.
