Show HN: I'm an airline pilot – I built interactive graphs/globes of my flights 674 by jamesharding | 118 comments on Hacker News. Hey HN! Pilots everywhere are required to keep a logbook of all their flying hours, aircraft, airports, and so on. Since I track everything digitally (some people still just use paper logbooks!), I put together some data visualizations and a few 3D globes to show my flying history. This globe is probably my favourite so far: https://ift.tt/Up4Keq3 If you’ve got ideas for other graphs or ways to show this kind of data, I’d love to hear them!

Tell HN: Help restore the tax deduction for software dev in the US (Section 174) 754 by dang | 310 comments on Hacker News. Companies building software in the US were hit hard a few years ago when the tax code stopped allowing deduction of software dev expenses. Now they have to be amortized over several years. HN has had many discussions about this, including The time bomb in the tax code that's fueling mass tech layoffs - https://ift.tt/FNcSZQC - (927 comments) a few days ago. Other threads are listed at https://ift.tt/KZOf2Xk . There's currently a major effort to get this change reversed. One of the people working on it is YC's Luther Lowe ( https://ift.tt/2eFYi8I ). Luther has been organizing YC alumni to urge lawmakers to support this reversal. I asked him if we could do that on Hacker News too. He said yes—hence this thread :) If you're a US taxpayer and if you agree that software dev expenses should be deductible like they used to be, please sign this letter t...

Show HN: I rewrote my Mac Electron app in Rust 591 by katrinarodri | 442 comments on Hacker News. A year ago, my co-founder launched Desktop Docs here on HN. It's a Mac app we built with Electron that uses CLIP embeddings to search photos and videos locally with natural language. We got positive feedback from HN and our first paying customers, but the app was almost 1GB and clunky to use. TLDR; rebuilding in Rust was the right move. So we rewrote the app with Rust and Tauri and here are the results: - App size is 83% smaller: 1GB → 172MB - DMG Installer is 70% smaller: 232MB → 69.5MB - Indexing files is faster: A 38-minute video now indexes in ~3 minutes instead of 10-14 minutes - Overall more stability (old app used to randomly crash) The original version worked, but it didn't perform well when you tried indexing thousands of images or large videos. We lost a lot of time struggling to optimize Electron’s main-renderer process communication and ended up with a complex worker...

Show HN: I built a hardware processor that runs Python 916 by hwpythonner | 241 comments on Hacker News. Hi everyone, I built PyXL — a hardware processor that executes a custom assembly generated from Python programs, without using a traditional interpreter or virtual machine. It compiles Python -> CPython Bytecode -> Instruction set designed for direct hardware execution. I’m sharing an early benchmark: a GPIO test where PyXL achieves a 480ns round-trip toggle — compared to 14-25 micro seconds on a MicroPython Pyboard - even though PyXL runs at a lower clock (100MHz vs. 168MHz). The design is stack-based, fully pipelined, and preserves Python's dynamic typing without static type restrictions. I independently developed the full stack — toolchain (compiler, linker, codegen), and hardware — to validate the core idea. Full technical details will be presented at PyCon 2025. Demo and explanation here: https://ift.tt/F1RKuhW Happy to answer any questions

Cursor IDE support hallucinates lockout policy, causes user cancellations 788 by scaredpelican | 274 comments on Hacker News. Earlier today Cursor, the magical AI-powered IDE started kicking users off when they logged in from multiple machines. Like,you’d be working on your desktop, switch to your laptop, and all of a sudden you're forcibly logged out. No warning, no notification, just gone. Naturally, people thought this was a new policy. So they asked support. And here’s where it gets batshit: Cursor has a support email, so users emailed them to find out. The support peson told everyone this was “expected behavior” under their new login policy. One problem. There was no support team, it was an AI designed to 'mimic human responses' That answer, totally made up by the bot, spread like wildfire. Users assumed it was real (because why wouldn’t they? It's their own support system lol), and within hours the community was in revolt. Dozens of users publicly canceled thei...
