l___l··on Show HN: Document extraction with human feedback loop
I wish I could use it without a Google account and without entering an email address.
l___l··on Show HN: I made an open-source web engine for relativistic simulations
THREE.WebGLRenderer: Error creating WebGL context. 117-89335355d2951c85.js:1:4044 Error: Error creating WebGL context.
l___l··on Show HN: Build an e-commerce store ready for agentic checkout
I still wish I could use it without entering an email address.

l___l··on Show HN: Agora – Vibe code an e-commerce store
Why can't it create a store and show it to me, so I can see it, in one mouse-click, instead of ask for my name and email, and then also ask that I open my email, and also to wait for an email to be send, and to click on that email for a "one time verification code". To verify what?
l___l··on Show HN: I built an instant AI prompt library with one-click image generation
I expected to use it and and I don't see how to use it.

Can I click somewhere on the website and have it generate a photo for me? Where? Or why not?

l___l··on Show HN: Real or fake content – make it easy to tell
How would fake content not be able to fake the proof?

What's to prevent fake content from generating cryptographically signed photos and videos that embed a JSON manifest with the same characteristics as this service?

l___l··on Ask HN: How Is Everyone Feeling?
I can imagine getting one in this thread https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45306539 although maybe it's not so random.
l___l··on Ask HN: How Is Everyone Feeling?
This post sounds like an intentional, targeted probe to harvest sentiment and feed it as input somewhere.
l___l··on Show HN: Devbox – Ephemeral containers for clean dev environments
I would display on the front page the one command that installs the devbox.

curl -fsSL https://devbox.ar0.eu/install.sh | bash

l___l··on Cloudflare is sponsoring Ladybird and Omarchy
The assumption that a browser needs ~30 million lines of code may be false.

It may be possible for a scripting language with at least the same features as LuaJIT to be as fast as LuaJIT in less than 85K lines of code.

l___l··on Cloudflare is sponsoring Ladybird and Omarchy
Consumers can pay for Ladybird themselves.

A culture that encourages rewarding creators for their work.

> you can't rely on a for-profit corporation to operate in any other manner than optimizing shareholder value.

I would like to understand where this breaks down. Would a for-profit individual be more reliable? Would a non-profit? At which point does quality deteriorate?

l___l··on Trump to impose $100k fee for H-1B worker visas, White House says
"One software company was approved for over 5,000 H-1B workers in FY 2025; around the same time, it announced a series of layoffs totaling more than 15,000 employees. Another IT firm was approved for nearly 1,700 H-1B workers in FY 2025; it announced it was laying off 2,400 American workers in Oregon in July. A third company has reduced its workforce by approximately 27,000 American workers since 2022, while being approved for over 25,000 H-1B workers since FY 2022. A fourth company reportedly eliminated 1,000 jobs in February; it was approved for over 1,100 H-1B workers for FY 2025.

American IT workers have reported they were forced to train the foreign workers who were taking their jobs and to sign nondisclosure agreements about this indignity as a condition of receiving any form of severance. This suggests H-1B visas are not being used to fill occupational shortages or obtain highly skilled workers who are unavailable in the United States."

This speaks for itself.

The Fortune Global 500 Companies might be a better list. 139 US companies made the list in 2025 which is 27.8%.

Maybe a company that hires someone else's H1B worker for $10k more per year in the first year has to pay the $100k fee and the first company gets their fee back.
l___l··on Trump to impose $100k fee for H-1B worker visas, White House says
I don't know if that's easy. If this was flipped around, 100% of the top Fortune 500 would be born inside the United States if no immigrants were allowed in.

A better test may be comparing company performance worldwide instead of only in the F500. That's a different list, the Global 500.

l___l··on Ask HN: Has anyone else been unemployed for over two years?
I've been unemployed for over two years.

I'm coping by executing a plan that leads to retirement.

l___l··on Ask HN: Why isn't capability-based security more common?
Because it's missing from the programming language.
l___l··on Ask HN: How to deal with fake job applicants?
Use a job board that makes companies pay. Then make companies pay when they ghost you.
l___l··on Show HN: I'm Building an Alternative to Shopify
Yes. Then I'd get to try it in one mouse-click, instead of one mouse-click and coming up with a fake email and new password and writing them down.
l___l··on Shai-Hulud malware attack: Tinycolor and over 40 NPM packages compromised
Can it be done by restricting the readFile capability between code boundaries instead of restrict it from a specific function? Then it doesn't matter if you know of another function which does it for you.
l___l··on Show HN: I wrote a book: The Elements of Code
I wish there was a similar book for writing software that is difficult to write.
l___l··on Show HN: The Startup Turning Ordinary People into Data Millionaires"
How do you know it's a trillion-dollar opportunity?

How does it prevent data getting copied without the creator getting paid?

How does it guarantee creators will get paid in proportion to the use of their data, instead of AI companies using the data to serve millions of users but crediting the data only once?

l___l··on Show HN: I'm Building an Alternative to Shopify
I wish I could use it without entering an email address.
l___l··on Shai-Hulud malware attack: Tinycolor and over 40 NPM packages compromised
Is there a theoretical framework that can prevent this from happening? Proof-carrying code?
l___l··on Show HN: Cvee – Create a job post, get top candidates delivered to your inbox
Congrats for launching.

I wouldn't use a job service that can't prove a job isn't a ghost job.

l___l··on Proton Mail suspended journalist accounts at request of cybersecurity agency
I built one that doesn't delete accounts and plan to accept payments in CryptoNote. If anyone wants to try it ping me.
l___l··on Rug pulls, forks, and open-source feudalism
On a side note, if you had a quality OS like Linux with access to the source code but had to pay a small amount to get it, would you not pay?
