geiser··on Ask HN: What are you building that's not AI related?
Now that gasoline prices skyrocketed I developed https://pumperly.com in selected countries where data is publicly available
geiser··on Show HN: Mdarena – Benchmark your Claude.md against your own PRs
Could be a neat addition to LynxPrompt. Quite interesting, thanks!
geiser··on Show HN: Trust Protocols for Anthropic/OpenAI/Gemini
Definitely interesting, I hope all of this standardizes some day in the future, and if it's your protocol, great.

I have been following AlignTrue https://aligntrue.ai/docs/about but I think I like more your way of doing accountability and acting on thinking process instead of being passive. Apart from the fact that your way is a down-to-earth, more practical approach.

Great showcase live demo, however I would have liked a more in-depth showcasing of AAP and AIP even in this situation of multi-agent interactions, to understand the full picture better. Or simply perhaps prepare another showcase for the AAP and AIP. Just my two cents.

PS. I'm the creator of LynxPrompt, which honestly falls very short for this cases we're treating today, but with that I'm saying that I keep engaged on the topic trust/accountability, on how to organize agents and guide them properly without supervision.

geiser··on Ask HN: How are you automating your coding work?
I prepare custom AGENTS.md with the help of https://lynxprompt.com (Disclaimer: I'm the dev)

The more time you spend making guidelines and guardrails, the more success the LLM has at acing your prompt. There I created a wizard to get it right from the beginning, simplifying and "guiding" you into thinking what you want to achieve.

geiser··on Ask HN: Any example of successful vibe-coded product?
I produced https://lynxprompt.com as an IDE/tool-agnostic AI config rules generator & catalog, via CLI & WebUI. There is a lot of love (and $$$) put in the Wizard generator, you can check it both via CLI or WebUI.

I've got some users and the stuff I can do each time I start doing vibecoding is astounding. Obviously 50% the work is just fixing what the AI didn't understood or imagined too much, but having a good AGENTS.md is key (and patience from me) - so that's why I'm buidling LynxPrompt indeed, for having an easy way to own a good AGENTS.md file for my next projects... and hopefully you too.

geiser··on Engineers who dismiss AI
We’ve been “losing skills” to better tools forever, and it’s usually been a net positive. Nobody hand-writes a sorting algorithm in production to “stay sharp”, most of us don’t do long division because calculators exist, and plenty of great engineers today couldn’t write assembly (or even manage memory in C) comfortably. That didn’t make the industry worse; it let us build bigger things by working at higher abstraction.

LLM-assisted coding feels like the next step in that same pattern. The difference is that this abstraction layer can confidently make stuff up: hallucinated APIs, wrong assumptions, edge cases it didn’t consider. So the work doesn’t disappear, it shifts. The valuable skill becomes guiding it: specifying the task clearly, constraining the solution, reviewing diffs, insisting on tests, and catching the “looks right but isn’t” failures. In practice it’s like having a very fast junior dev who never gets tired and also never says “I’m not sure”.

That’s why I don’t buy the extremes on either side. It’s not magic, and it’s not useless. Used carelessly, it absolutely accelerates tech debt and produces bloated code. Used well, it can take a lot of the grunt work off your plate (refactors, migrations, scaffolding tests, boilerplate, docs drafts) and leave you with more time for the parts that actually require engineering judgement.

On the “will it make me dumber” worry: only if you outsource judgement. If you treat it as a typing/lookup/refactor accelerator and keep ownership of architecture, correctness, and debugging, you’re not getting worse—you’re just moving your attention up the stack. And if you really care about maintaining raw coding chops, you can do what we already do in other areas: occasionally turn it off and do reps, the same way people still practice mental math even though Excel exists.

Privacy/ethics are real concerns, but that’s a separate discussion; there are mitigations and alternatives depending on your threat model.

At the end of the day, the job title might stay “software engineer”, but the day-to-day shifts toward “AI guide + reviewer + responsible adult.” And like every other tooling jump, you don’t have to love it, but you probably do have to learn it—because you’ll end up maintaining and reviewing AI-shaped code either way.

Basically, I think the author hit just in the point.

geiser··on Show HN: Macscope – I decide to built a better Cmd-Tab replacement for macOS
Hey. I'm trying to arrange views in multi-monitor setups, but when I tried to arrange some windows on a DisplayLink screen, it literally makes them disappear, unable to open/restore them until I force-close them.

It's also not showing apps in other spaces, which I would like to be shown. Mac's default Cmd+Tab does that.

geiser··on Ask HN: Looking for a past post about heart cell excitation
That was it. It was in fact only 3 weeks ago, not 3-6 months. Time flies in reverse for me. Thank you
geiser··on Christopher Columbus' remains found after 500 years as DNA analysis ends mystery
First news (in Spanish) about the results shown in the special TV programme: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41823437
geiser··on Show HN: Glasskube – Open Source Kubernetes Package Manager, alternative to Helm
Reviewing their docs I found this: https://glasskube.dev/docs/comparisons/timoni/ I have personally never worked with Timoni
geiser··on Effect of passenger position on crash injury risk in aircraft (2015) [pdf]
Summary of results?
geiser··on Squatting in Spain: Understanding Spain's "okupas" problem
Spanish here. I've been to many homes occupied by squatters due to the nature of my voluntary service for quite some years.

The people you seem to be describing just applies for a tiny proportion of the actual landscape of squatting in Spain. So your sentence is partly true, but nowadays as the situation becomes chronic, most people just do it because it is convenient for them

Believe me when I say that I've been tasked to helping "homeless" people and once I got closer, some of them were begging in the streets, making +300€ on a good day. I was speechless the first day that I heard about it.

geiser··on Ask HN: Where do you sit?
I have sciatica and lumbar pain. After many years of search through every major chair designer, I now work with something that eases my pain quite a lot: A 40$ 0-gravity chair. Yes, it seems unbelievable but it has been the best purchase for me in the last 10 years.
geiser··on Delphi 11 Community Edition
Is there anybody still using Delphi? -- I have a friend which only develops in Delphi, but I love to tell her that joke.
geiser··on 80k megapixel panorama photograph of New York City (2021)
Anyone seeing the nude guy at epic.com building?
geiser··on Telegram – The Kremlin Has Entered the Chat
I don't use any Meta service for the same reason. But I was using Telegram because of a perceived better treatment of chat history and compatibility with people around me using it. But I didn't know the last actions from Pavel Durov... which seem totally in line with Meta's wrong-behavior.
geiser··on Enhanced noise suppression in Jitsi Meet
Sorry, but at least in my smartphone, I can understand better the unprocessed audio showcased down in the Web page, than the noise-suppresed audio. How is that?
geiser··on Covid “Fudge Factor” – A map of Covid data corruption and approach that worked
So sorry about your family. I also started personally getting psychiatric care after all this happened, and continuing now. The situation is so complex, but definitely it should have been managed better overall. I'm no expert so can't comment.
geiser··on Covid “Fudge Factor” – A map of Covid data corruption and approach that worked
That's exactly what I thought. We have to learn to live in a community, and that means sacrificing personal liberty for the benefit of others.
geiser··on Apply with me to Y Combinator in the next month and change the world
Feature request: Allow to share audio from the computer. Then maybe I'll start using it.
geiser··on Mirrord – mirror production traffic to your development environment
How does this compare to Telepresence? https://www.telepresence.io/
geiser··on How did the Enigma Machine work? (2021) [video]
The rotor is "per se" designed to never let this happen. The combination from the beginning to traverse all 3 switches is 1:1, so unless the reflector connects to itself, it will never actually collide. Or let's put it differently. Imagine just 1 switch, as it's the same reasoning. It will always change the letter, and will never return the same letter, given that the first switch always follows the key you are pressing.
geiser··on I can't find a Hacker News story which I read about a month ago
This is it! Thank you
geiser··on I can't find a Hacker News story which I read about a month ago
I tried searching for some time also there, but I don't remember the title. I didn't read the comments for that particular post either.
geiser··on Zenoh – Zero Overhead Pub/Sub, Store/Query and Compute
I am working with ADLINK under the 5GDIVE project. We are currently integrating it for our use cases, as we plan it to use as our DASS inside the architecture. For more context: https://5g-dive.eu/ We are the only partner using Java instead of Python so we unfortunately haven't yet tested it, as there are only bindings available for python. But they plan to add it soon in Java. Pretty competent company as of my opinion while dealing with them, especially with the creators of Zenoh.
