Launch HN: RonanRX (YC S26) – Personalized Peptides and GLP-1s

Hi HN, I’m Lloyd, one of two founders of RonanRx. We are building a vertically integrated pharmaceutical company with software for prescribing, telehealth, compounding, manufacturing, and delivery. We are starting with GLP-1s and peptides. The path to RonanRx is fairly unconventional. During the pandemic, I built one of the largest mask manufacturing factories in the US. We could make a million masks in a day. We converted raw polypropylene pellets into finished pallets of masks. I had a backgro...

Range Rover’s new EV looks just like a regular Range Rover — that’s refreshing

I think automakers are finally getting the memo. Rather than try to reinvent the wheel with its new electric vehicle, Range Rover just made one that looks nearly identical to its lineup of gas-powered SUVs. They didn't try to pass off some sleek, spaceship-looking pod as a Range Rover. Sometimes familiar designs are the way […]

1Password wades into a right-wing mess after funding a Linux project

1Password faced immediate backlash from customers this week over a $300,000 pledge in support of a Linux distro created by David Heinemeier Hansson, who has regularly published overtly racist blog posts that include comments calling for deportation of ethnic minorities in Europe. The popular password manager is now a "distinguished corporate patron" of Omacom, the […]

Pangram’s Max Spero on why AI detection is harder than ‘Real or Fake’

The internet has a trust problem, and it’s not just because social media feeds are filling up with AI slop. AI-generated text and images are now making their way into job applications, product reviews, and even insurance claims, leaving platforms and users alike scrambling to figure out what’s real.  A handful of startups have cropped up in the past couple of […]

How Does AI Know What's Inside an Image? Meet Vision Language Models

Hello, I'm Rijul, and I'm building LiveReview — a blast-radius aware AI code review built for your business-critical systems. Star us to help devs discover the project, give it a try, and share your feedback to help improve the product. Do you interact with AI models where you put in an image and then it processes it? Do you wonder what these models are and what is happening behind the scenes? This is called a VLM , or Vision-Language Model . A VLM combines vision and language c...

Your AI Agent Doesn't Need to Be Smarter. It Needs Discipline.

The models got dramatically better. The output still isn't shippable. Here's what's actually missing and the twelve-skill system I built to fix it. I want to start with an uncomfortable observation. The coding models available today are extraordinary. They hold a codebase in their head, reason across services, and write better code than most of what's already in your repo. And yet, if you've used one on real work not a demo, not a weekend project, but the codebase your team ships from ...

Le déploiement en un clic n'existe pas vraiment

On vend souvent le déploiement en un clic comme le but ultime. J'ai passé assez d'années dans les salles de mise en production pour savoir que ce bouton unique cache toujours des dizaines de décisions prises en amont. Le clic est la partie facile. Tout ce qui le rend sûr, c'est le vrai travail, et il est invisible depuis le bouton. Ma priorité en ingénierie de livraison n'a jamais été la vitesse, mais la réversibilité. Avant d'automatiser une mise en production, je me pose une seule question ...

AEO for developers: treat content as infrastructure

A 2025 Pew Research Center study found that users clicked traditional results in 8% of Google visits with an AI summary, compared with 15% when no summary appeared. Links cited inside those summaries received clicks in only 1% of visits. That changes what visibility means. A page can influence a decision without receiving the visit and developers increasingly control whether its information can be found, interpreted, and cited correctly. AEO is not a replacement for SEO; it is an additiona...

Learning React - Ep.1

This is the 1st post in my attempt to document my journey of learning React in depth. These posts will focus less on syntax and code snippets and more on conceptual understanding and intuition. I’ve used React before, but this time I want to go beyond “I know how to use React.” I want to understand why React works the way it does. So I’m starting with the fundamentals. At its core, React is about building a tree of components whose output describes what the UI should look like. A com...

Mobile Test Automation Framework in Java: Structure, BDD, Parallel

A mobile test automation framework that passes sequentially and collapses under parallel execution isn't flaky. It's single-threaded by construction — one driver instance, screen objects holding element proxies bound to that driver, every thread targeting the same device and the same automation port. That's an architectural problem, not a matter of tuning waits. I spent the last few months building one in Java and writing up each step. Nine parts, one codebase, starting from an empty direc...

LayoutBuilder Does Not Support Returning Intrinsic Dimensions

You put auto-sizing text in a Table cell, hot-reloaded, and got this: LayoutBuilder does not support returning intrinsic dimensions. Calculating the intrinsic dimensions would require running the layout callback speculatively, which might mutate the live render object tree. at _RenderLayoutBuilder.computeMaxIntrinsicHeight The stack trace is long, it points at framework code you did not write, and the widget worked perfectly ten minutes ago in a Column .
