What I’m asking HN: What does your actually useful local LLM stack look like? I’m looking for something that provides you with real value — not just a sexy demo. --- After a recent internet outage, I realized I need a local LLM setup as a backup — not just for experimentation and fun. My daily (remote) LLM stack: - Claude Max ($100/mo): My go-to for pair programming. Heavy user of both the Claude web and desktop clients. - Windsurf Pro ($15/mo): Love the multi-line autocomplete and how it

How Do Pimple Patches Work? Here’s Everything You Need to Know

wired.com Boutayna Chokrane 2026-02-21 17:24:36

How do pimple patches work? Back in the day, getting a zit meant caking on disguising layers of foundation, concealer, powder …or maybe just a strategically angled hairstyle. But now, the game has changed: Why hide a pimple when you can dress it up? No frantic blending or pore-clogging products are required. Today, we’re embracing a radically different (and refreshingly low-key) approach to clogged pores: slapping a bright yellow star-shaped sticker on it and calling it a day. Welcome to the er

MCP: An (Accidentally) Universal Plugin System

news.ycombinator.com Scott Werner 2026-02-22 06:22:10

There's this thing about USB-C that nobody really talks about. Not the part where we all had to buy new dongles (RIP my dongle drawer, 2010-2023). The other part. See, we all thought USB-C was just going to be about charging things and moving files around like the other USBs. Very serious. Very purposeful. But because of the way it is it can do... other things. My friend Rex connected his toaster to his monitor last week. I don't know why. The toaster doesn't know why. But it worked, and now R

Unreal Amber Fossils Show ‘Last of Us’ Zombie Fungus Terrorizing Bugs During the Cretaceous

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2026-02-27 22:00:21

In the video game The Last of Us and its spin-off HBO series, humans fight to survive against cordyceps, a parasitic fungus that turns its hosts into zombies. While the infections are wildly dramatized in both the game and the show, these fungi aren’t mere science fiction. In fact, some species have been around since the age of the dinosaurs, a new study suggests. An international team of researchers led by Yuhui Zhuang, a doctoral student of paleontology at China’s Yunnan University, recently

Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 benchmarks show why Nothing Phone 3 might not be truly Elite

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-03-05 03:30:33

Hadlee Simons / Android Authority Nothing announced last week that its Nothing Phone 3 will be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset. This is a somewhat polarizing move in light of the company marketing the phone as a “true” or “real” flagship, where customers would expect a top-flight Snapdragon 8 Elite processor. However, the POCO F7 just launched today, and it’s the first global phone powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4. So, should you be worried about the Nothing Phone 3’s horse

KiCad and Wayland Support

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-03-16 01:58:54

These problems exist because Wayland’s design omits basic functionality that desktop applications for X11, Windows and macOS have relied on for decades—things like being able to position windows or warp the mouse cursor. This functionality was omitted by design, not oversight. The fragmentation doesn’t help either. GNOME interprets protocols one way, KDE another way, and smaller compositors yet another way. As application developers, we can’t depend on a consistent implementation of various Way

A security vulnerability in a pair of phone-monitoring apps is exposing the personal data of millions of people who have the apps unwittingly installed on their devices, according to a security researcher who found the flaw. The bug allows anyone to access the personal data — messages, photos, call logs, and more — exfiltrated from any phone or tablet compromised by Cocospy and Spyic, two differently branded mobile stalkerware apps that share largely the same source code.
