AMA: I’m Eric Ries (The Lean Startup) & Author of New Bestseller Incorruptible
Hey gang, you may remember me from such books as _The Lean Startup_ and _The Startup Way_.

It’s been fifteen years since I wrote The Lean Startup, and in that time I’ve seen some things. In both big companies and tiny startups, NGOs and governments, in almost every industry you can name.

I’ve helped a lot of people create a lot of amazing companies, but I’ve also seen so many ways this can go wrong. There’s a darkness in our industry that … ⌘ Read more

Ask HN: Are most corporate SWE jobs performative?
The large companies I’ve worked at (including FAANG) seemed to thrive on kudos via performative actions. Like the majority of the team is doing useless stuff that management thinks is impressive while the couple all stars get the team closer to the goal.

Meanwhile, a lot of managers calendars are purely just 1:1s with devs on the team which clearly has very little value add to the team.

Anyone else notice this? Not sure if there’s a word for it, but it’s somewhat demoral … ⌘ Read more

AWS Bedrock to require sharing data with Anthropic for Mythos and future models
> For Fable 5, Mythos 5, and future models on Bedrock with similar or higher capability levels, Anthropic will require 30-day retention for all traffic on Mythos-class models. Retaining data for a limited period allows Anthropic to detect patterns of misuse that are not visible from a single exchange. Once you opt into data retention, your data will leave AWS’s data and security boundary.

Launch HN: Transload (YC P26) – Measuring freight items with CCTV
Hi HN — we’re Julius, Jago, and Nils, and we’re building transload (transload.io).

transload helps LTL trucking companies measure freight dimensions using the security cameras already installed in their terminals. Instead of sending shipments through a dedicated dimensioning station, we measure them automatically as they move through the normal dock workflow.

We’ve put together a small HN-specific demo site here: [https://hn.transload.io/](https://hn.tran … ⌘ Read more

Show HN: We post-trained a model that pen tests instead of refusing your code
I’m Dimitrios at Cosine. Quick orientation first: the read-only scan is free and you can run it right now: that’s the part to try. The pen-test mode is gated behind written authorisation, because it’s live offensive testing against real systems; I’ll explain that below, it’s not a paywall thing.

The reason `cos` exists: most “AI security” tools wrap a general model, so they inherit its refusals — point one at a real offensive task and it hedges or declines, b … ⌘ Read more

Show HN: Mach – A compiled systems language looking for contributions
Hi HN,

I’m the creator of Mach ( https://github.com/octalide/mach or https://machlang.org). Two days ago, we finally achieved full self hosting. I wanted to make a post here to show off the language since this is a big milestone for us.

## TL;DR about the language for those curious:

- There are no external dependencies anywhere in the pipeline. This includes LLVM, libc bindings, or anything of the sort … ⌘ Read more

Launch HN: Intuned (YC S22) – Build and run reliable browser automations as code
Hey HN, we’re Faisal and Ahmad from Intuned ( https://intunedhq.com). We’re building a platform for building, deploying, and maintaining browser automations.

Customers primarily use the Intuned AI agent to automate websites that don’t expose APIs. Common use-cases include scraping data, pulling reports, and submitting forms. As the website changes, our agent also helps automatically heal the automation.

On Intuned, browser automations are … ⌘ Read more
