Sonic Fire Tech raised its new funding to help get its sound-powered fire protection system into everything from commercial kitchens to apartment buildings.

Reddit is beginning to test video and audio versions of popular posts, allowing users to watch or listen to Reddit stories instead of just reading them.

Higgsfield, founded by former Snap exec Alex Mashrabov, lets users create AI images and videos.

Spotify launches a new feature that gives users a chance to explain the stories and reasoning behind their favorite music. Editors will be using the feature, too, on top playlists like RapCaviar and others.

If you’ve been circling around Disrupt, then now’s the best time to lock in your pass and start getting ready to join the rest of the startup community gathering in San Francisco from October 13-15 at Moscone West!

AI Slop in Software Development Is Probably Not as Bad as You Think There’s a lot of discussion lately about “AI slop”: landing pages that look AI-generated, apps built with AI, generic copy, familiar UI patterns, and products that developers can immediately recognize as “vibe coded.” But I think we sometimes forget something: Most of our customers are not developers. I’d bet that 90%+ of the people visiting your landing page or downloading your app have absolutely no idea whether yo...

I don't know where to go to make money. I've tried discord, reddit, real jobs, and to be honest I think nobody finds value in real work anymore. I'm 15 years old and I've programmed entire websites for startups, but the second I started embracing programming as the job I want to keep, I started losing money. I went from a decent $300 to $500 a month doing small family friend gigs to now making nothing and getting scammed multiple times every month for projects and unpaid work. Does anybody have ...

Your agent calls a flaky API, gets a 429, retries with the same arguments, and gets rate-limited again. Ten minutes later, in a fresh session, it does the exact same thing. Nothing about the failure got remembered — the agent has no way to know it already learned this lesson, because the lesson lived in a transcript that got thrown away when the process exited. This week a post about manually gatekeeping AI agent tool calls hit the front page of dev.to with 48 comments — mostly developers arg...

I read the post, agreed with it, and opened my repo to plan the migration. Then I could not find the loop I was supposed to be replacing. The repo is agentsmyth, a seven-step agent chain I have been building for months. What I found was a fixed sequence with a checkpoint between every step and exactly one edge leaving every node. There was no loop to tear out and no obvious place to put a graph. I spent an evening trying to work out what I had misunderstood, and eventually went back to rea...

Wanted a tool anyone could use to build a meal-prep style bowl or plate and get real calorie and macro numbers back, with weight adjustments in ounces or grams depending on what you actually use. If you're a Nawtch user, cool, you can add the finished bowl straight into your foods. But if you just landed on the page because you wanted to test out a few combinations, you don't need to be a Nawtch user at all. You can still save bowls locally and come back later to edit them or build more. It's me...

Here is a rule that looks like it blocks OpenAI's crawler: User -agent: * Disallow: /checkout/ Disallow: /customer/ User -agent: GPTBot Crawl-delay: 10 It blocks nothing. GPTBot reads its own group, finds one Crawl-delay line and no Disallow , and crawls everything — including /checkout/ and /customer/ . Under RFC 9309 , a crawler that matches a specific user-agent group uses only that group. It does not inherit from User-agent: * . Naming a bot anywhere in the ...

Every team I've been on has a #general channel that goes quiet by 11am. A daily digest bot is the easiest way to give people a reason to glance back at it, and "today's tech headlines" is a low-effort, high-signal thing to post that nobody minds seeing every morning. Here's a complete Slack/Discord bot, built on NewTqnia 's free public news API, that you can have running in about 15 minutes. What we're building A small Node script that: Fetches today's tech headlines (AI...

So, you shipped a new feature. Congrats! 🎉 Now the app's acting weird. Do you nuke the whole release? Nah. Enter feature flags. What Are Feature Flags? Feature flags (aka feature toggles, aka "please don't break prod" ) let you flip features on or off without redeploying. It's like hiding switches all over your codebase, so you can turn stuff on for your favorite users—or just yourself, let's be honest—and turn it off when things inevitably go sideways. Marti...

Build Your First Spring AI Application with OpenAI Using Spring Boot If you have been following this Spring AI series, you already understand the two most important abstractions: ChatClient and ChatModel . In the previous article, we learned that: Your Java Code | v ChatClient | v ChatModel | v AI Provider ChatClient gives us a developer-friendly API, while ChatModel handles the underlying model integration. Now it is time...

Why do teams use feature flags? Because "move fast and break things" is only fun until you break prod. Feature flags let you move fast and break things slightly less dramatically. Here’s how real engineering teams actually use them. Canary Releases A canary release means you roll out a change to a small percentage of users first—say, 1%—before exposing it to everyone. If the 1% starts screaming, you flip the flag off and investigate. If they don't notice anything...

This is a case study of a small business website we designed and built. To see whether the design held up, we read its own edge logs over a 28-day window. Nothing here is a client’s data, and the site is not named. It is a Next.js application on Node behind a reverse proxy, and a worked example of how a modern site is actually attacked, and how building it carefully answered that. Start with the single most-requested URL in those 28 days: /wp-admin/install.php, hit 518 times. The site has nev...

Hi. I'm looking for a good, modern code editor without AI that also has live preview either built in or through extensions. Lightweight would be nice, but not necessary. Thank you! Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49335601 Points: 3 # Comments: 2
