Show HN: DeepSeek Flash inverted the economics of agent products
There is an adversarial relationship between developers and big model labs.Model labs charged developers higher API prices to subsidize their own agent harness offerings. Think Anthropic charging 5x higher Claude API prices to subsidize consumer subscriptions. So Cursor in a way was subsidizing their own direct competitor.DeepSeek V4 Flash totally inverted this relationship. Now you have a model that beats even Sonnet in some benchmarks and is totally opensourced. Now inference providers are rac

<p>all school computer labs should run something like an early UNIX edition so that they actually learn how to troubleshoot, format commands, learn about file types and file management. Which would probably be better than the prompt based search function prompted based gui ai slop they willingly pay to put on their machines currently.</p>

Show HN: A pure ARM64 Assembly web server, now on Linux with CGI for no reason
This is ymawky, a now-dynamic web server written entirely in ARM64 Assembly. I've previously posted about ymawky here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48080587In the past month and a half, I've made some pretty major improvements: I've added CGI scripting support, so the server now supports query strings and dynamic content; and I've fully ported ymawky to run on Linux, rather than macOS-only.In addition to GET/PUT/HEAD/DELETE/OPTIONS r
Show HN: Multiserial – a serial terminal for macOS that does not feel ancient
I do a fair amount of embedded and hardware work on my mac. The serial tool was always a bother for me. I usually ended up testing on Windows. I built this tool focused on day-to-day bringup, loop back tests, logging and repeatable send flows. it uses Tauri and Rust for speed and a low memory footprint. It is free, open source, MIT license. I have used this on a Mac and built and tested the Linux version. Did not get to building the Windows version yet. Will probably look at it next weekend.
Show HN: peerd – AI agent harness that runs entirely in your browser
Hey HN. http://peerd.ai is an AI agent harness that lives entirely in your browser as a web extension. You don’t have to install a separate “AI browser”. You don’t have to bolt on or run some external process or manage a clunky mcp integration. It’s just a fully contained web extension, written in no build vanilla JS with minimal non-browser dependencies, using your own provider keys, and Apache 2.This isn’t just a fun hack. While it has largely been a solo side project, I genuinely be
