Ask HN: Are any startups hiring front-end developers, or are they just using AI?

I have 4+ years of experience in React and Next.js when I got out of my last contract role, I thought it was the right time to look for a remote job. But, it feels like the market gave up on me. When many companies were hiring, I didn’t have enough experience. Now that I do have experience, it feels like no one is looking. I’m curious if there are any startups out there looking for founding members or early team members. I want to gain experience in a risk-taking product environment, where I can...

Should Reddit users care how their posts are being used to train AI?

Article TL;DR AI is changing what makes the internet valuable. Authentic human conversations are becoming more valuable than polished web content. Communities like Reddit are evolving from discussion forums into critical AI training infrastructure, even if a lot of behavior is moderated. The next battle for AI may be over access to genuine human experience, rather than just behavioral patterns at scale. Human context at the individual level is becoming a valuable source of AI traini...

Voice agents, demystified: STT+TTS and 4 demo agents you can talk to in the browser + build yours with RAG and Tools

I added voice to AgentSwarms! You can create voice agents using a few clicks and talk to it in the browser — and you can try 4 demo voice agents right now, no setup, just tap the mic. Here's how it works and why it turned out to be less "new" than I expected. The surprise building this: a voice agent is basically the chat agent you already know, with a voice on top. Same system prompt, same tools, same RAG, memory, and guardrails. Under the hood it's a simple loop — your mic gets tra...
Tested 4 brand new frontier models (2 Chinese, 1 diffusion, 1 agent-focused) with a riddle that has no logical shortcut. One of them fabricated sources four times in a row.

Tested 4 brand new frontier models (2 Chinese, 1 diffusion, 1 agent-focused) with a riddle that has no logical shortcut. One of them fabricated sources four times in a row.

I've been running the same weird test on every new model that ships: a riddle that can't be solved by pattern-matching or web search, only by actually connecting two unrelated things. This time I added a second riddle and ran both against four models that all shipped in the last few weeks: MiMo-V2.5-Pro (Xiaomi), MiniMax M3, Mercury 2 (Inception Labs, diffusion-based), and LongCat-2.0 (Meituan). Rules: no web search, no context given beforehand, up to 3 hints only if requested, same prompt cop...

Made my first ever revenue

Link :- https://easeassign.com/ Launched this platform about a week back for students and freshers to get freelance work. Finally got some paid requests on the site and some people completed them Revenue is not much just 3 dollars but for a project built by me using gpt and antigravity I would call it a win for now ( finally bought a domain too) Any suggestions on what to do next?

Is AI actually useful for learning a new skill from scratch, or does it just feel useful?

I've been spending the last few months trying to pick up woodworking as a hobby, starting from absolute zero. No prior experience, no mentor, just YouTube and curiosity. At some point I started leaning heavily on ChatGPT and Claude to answer questions, plan projects, troubleshoot mistakes, and explain techniques. And honestly it's been surprisingly good. Having a conversation with something that can explain why wood grain direction matters, then immediately follow up with beginner project idea...

DO NOT PAY FOR A SUBSCRIPTION

I signed up for a Perplexity Pro year subscription back in April ($200). Here are the features that made me give the ***wipes at Perplexity AI money: Unlimited uploads Unlimited Deep Research I chose Perplexity (and paid for it) because I’m an analyst that relies heavily on research. Within the past few days, my ability to upload and run Deep Research were grayed out. Turns out, the ***wipes at Perplexity AI quietly capped Pro usage (I can’t speak to Max). I received no email, no bulleti...

Andrew Ng: "In 3-6 months, everyone will be using self-improving loops. No more prompting”

Andrew Ng recently said: "100% of my tasks are now done by AI agents. Hype has exceeded my expectations. Loops is next step. In 3-6 months, everyone will be using self-improving loops. No more prompting." I think he's not too far off, you can already see the shift happening, people are moving away from chatting with an AI and telling it what to do step by step, and building systems where the agent just keeps working on a task on its own, which is kind of the whole point of calling ...

Try Foundera and tell me what you think, give us some feedback, I think we can improve and grow this app with your feedback in a better way. It's in b...

Simulating Tradeoffs in AI Organisation

Currently there doesn't seem to be anyone trying to simulate the tradeoffs between a singleton and a multipolar setup. Or looking at other tradeoffs like hidden and known agents, homogenous vs diverse agents and others. With LLMs it seems like we have a sandbox to test some of these things. Is this wrong?
