Show HN: Firebender, a simple coding agent for Android Engineers
Hey HN, I made a simple coding agent plugin in Android Studio called Firebender. Here’s an unedited 5-minute video where it writes tests for an Android app and iterates against the Gradle task output on its own ( https://docs.firebender.com/get-started/agent). You can use the plugin for free, no sign up needed, on the jetbrains marketplace.
The agent can edit multiple files, run gradle tasks like tests, and u ... ⌘ Read more
Ask HN: How much employee resume verification is done in practice?**
We all know that it's commonplace to 'put your best foot forward' on resumes as an employee, and sometimes this can lead into bending the truth a little bit.
But I'm curious in practice how much actual employee resume verification is done? Do people even check if they've graduated the colleges they say they have, or have evidence of employment of somewhere they've noted down? What about job titles?
I'm also wondering how thorough current FAANG-type compa ... ⌘ Read more
Show HN: Agents.json – OpenAPI Specification for LLMs
Hey HN, we’re building an open specification that lets agents discover and invoke APIs with natural language, built on the OpenAPI standard. agents.json clearly defines the contract between LLMs and API as a standard that's open, observable, and replicable.
Here’s a walkthrough of how it works: https://youtu.be/kby2Wdt2Dtk?si=59xGCDy48Zzwr7ND.
There’s 2 parts to this:
1\. An agents.json file describes how to link API ... ⌘ Read more
Show HN: Knowledge graph of restaurants and chefs using LLMs
Hi HN!
My latest side project is knowledge graph that maps the French culinary network using data extracted from restaurant reviews from LeFooding.com. The project uses LLMs to extract structured information from unstructured text.
Some technical aspects you may be interested in:
\- Used structured generation to reliably parse unstructured text into a consistent schema
\- Tested multiple models (Mistral-7B-v0.3, Llama3.2-3B, gpt4o-mini) for information ext ... ⌘ Read more
Ask HN: Are you a 40-year old software engineer without a job for > 1 year?**
Large numbers of skilled software engineers are unemployed for months. Many are unemployed for more than a year.
Is this an arbitrage opportunity? What's the best way to harness this concentration of energy?

Ask HN: Where are the good Markdown to PDF tools (that meet these requirements)?**
I'm trying to convert a very large Markdown file (a couple hundred pages) to PDF.
It contains lots of code in code blocks and has a table of contents at the start with internal links to later pages.
I've tried lots of different Markdown-PDF converters like md2pdf and Pandoc, even trying converting it through LaTeX first, however none of them produce working internal PDF links, have effective syntax highlighting for HTML, CSS, JavaScript and ... ⌘ Read more

Ask HN: Best Security Practices for Activists?**
Eight years ago I asked for advice about security practices for activists, and received the helpful advice (from Thomas Ptacek, if I remember correctly) not to disarm unilaterally, but to use a useful tool if it helps a group of activists organize well, and not to obsess about the full theoretical security of one online tool versus another.
I am seeing new groups of activists pop up organized through largely online channels, including some channels that were founded way back ... ⌘ Read more
Show HN: Betting game puzzle (Hamming neighbor sum in linear time)
In Spain, there's a betting game called La Quiniela: [https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/La\_Quiniela\_(Espa%C3%B1a)](https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Quiniela_(Espa%C3%B1a))
Players predict the outcome of 14 football matches (home win, draw, away win). You win money if you get at least 10 correct, and the prize amount depends on the number of winners. Since all bets are public, the number of winners and the corresponding payouts can be estimated for each of t ... ⌘ Read more
