Show HN: Conkoa AI – Voice-First Slack for Construction

I spent years building a SaaS product for the construction trades focused on health and safety. We obsessed over UI/UX because our users varied wildly in age, tech comfort, literacy, and preferred language. As good as we were, it was always a challenge to get new users to become proficient with it. That company was acquired in 2022.One thing I noticed throughout that journey: internally, we lived in Slack. It became our hub for everything — team conversations, server alerts, support tickets

A Methodological Critique of "First Proof" (Abouzaid et al., 2026)

Regarding: https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.05192IntroductionThe First Proof paper (Abouzaid et al., 2026) aims to evaluate AI capabilities through a set of research-level mathematical problems. While the mathematical content of the questions is not in dispute, the experimental design suffers from significant methodological gaps that undermine the authors' primary conclusions. Specifically, the paper conflates binary outcomes with processual states, lacks independent verificat

Launch HN: RunAnywhere (YC W26) – Faster AI Inference on Apple Silicon

Hi HN, we're Sanchit and Shubham (YC W26). We built a fast inference engine for Apple Silicon. LLMs, speech-to-text, text-to-speech – MetalRT beats llama.cpp, Apple's MLX, Ollama, and sherpa-onnx on every modality we tested. Custom Metal shaders, no framework overhead.Also, we've open-sourced RCLI, the fastest end-to-end voice AI pipeline on Apple Silicon. Mic to spoken response, entirely on-device. No cloud, no API keys.To get started: brew tap RunanywhereAI/rcli https:&#x2

Ask HN: What would a developer-first alternative to Shopify look like?

Over the past few years I’ve been working with e-commerce businesses through my small agency, Zenpexal. Most of the projects involve building or optimizing online stores using platforms like Shopify or custom stacks.While Shopify has made it incredibly easy for people to start online stores, working with it as a developer sometimes reveals a few recurring limitations.Some patterns I’ve noticed:• Heavy reliance on third-party apps for even basic functionality • Performance issues when stores scal

Show HN: G0 – The control layer for AI agents (scan, test, monitor, comply)

AI agents are shipping fast (LangChain, CrewAI, MCP servers, OpenAI Agents SDK) but there's no unified way to secure and govern them. We built g0 to be that control layer. What g0 does across the agent lifecycle: g0 scan - Static + behavioral analysis of agent code. 1,180 rules across 12 security domains, 10 frameworks (LangChain, CrewAI, MCP, OpenAI, Vercel AI, Bedrock, AutoGen, LangChain4j, Spring AI, Go AI), 5 languages. Detects toxic tool chains, taint flows, overprivileged de

Markdown Files Won't Make You an Engineer

Recent advancements in AI has convinced 99% of the population that engineering is just writing markdown files. Well, it's not and it never will be.Deep knowledge of systems, engineering, and programming will be in demand for as long as technology exists. Relying on AI without that foundation is like trying to advance material science without understanding chemistry, or pioneering new techniques in biology without grasping the underlying mechanisms. The tools change, the need for real unders
