These people love the stable regulatory environment of the US government, but despise paying their fair share into it. You could say they are not serious, but unfortunately they are.

Routing belongs on the client side

I am not convinced this will end up being a domain of the ‘routers’ vs the clients, as in harnesses themselves. Thoughts?

Akamai, Fastly, HAProxy, F5, many others? Talking about bots specifically, not about "workers" etc.

New comment by owenthejumper in "USAA closed 51% of home insurance claims without making a payment in 2025"

I live around at around a 150ft elevation above the ocean, but technically within < 1 mile away from it. Despite zero risk of flodding, half of the bigger insurers in my area have exited the market, and we are now having to insure with higher risk insurers like Kingston, who's ratings are yet to be tested during a real emergency.

My car insurance is above $4k/yr for two family cars, rising annually despite no accidents.

Meanwhile, "normal" countries are solving these problems in reasonable ways. Back home in Central Europe, you get state mandated car insurance at pre-negotiated rates that are based on the car, not the driver.

US insurance is a scam.

The whole thing is unreadable, and laughable, just like AI2027 previously. It's really really hard to read someone suggesting that in the United States we will soon have a universal basic income of $1m / year for all people in the country, when you just look at the state of current politics...

I'd rather read something a little bit more realistic.

For one, Germany is a densely populated country smaller than the state of California. I think we can stop there?

There is really almost no comparison to the US in terms of rural areas anywhere in Europe.

Show HN: TraceAIO – open-source LLM visibility tracker

owenthejumper — Tue, 30 Jun 2026 13:18:26 +0000

I built TraceAIO, an open-source tool that prompts LLMs on your behalf and tells you whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini mention your brand — and which competitors and sources show up instead.

Yeah, this category smells a bit like a grift, same as early SEO. And I think over time it will become just SEO again, and become about good content. The tool just helps you monitor over time.

It queries the browser products through real browser sessions, not APIs, runs on Docker, with an MCP server so you can query your own data through an LLM.

No business model, Apache 2.0, self hosted. If you use a residential proxy instead of running the browser locally I get a few cents via referral, not even enough to cover my token costs.

Demo (no signup): https://demo.traceaio.org — admin@example.com / adminadmin

Code: https://traceaio.org

Long on-and-off project, finally happy to show it. Feedback welcome.

owenthejumper — Thu, 18 Jun 2026 11:26:32 +0000

Almost nobody here is a doctor, and it shows...over diagnosis, over treatment, those are all terms that doctors learn about in medical school.

Image segmentation is a real problem, and achieving better precision is a good goal. The "golden" standard these days is likely https://github.com/wasserth/totalsegmentator, if someone can make it even more accurate, that would be very very good. But yet again, there are infinite amounts of variations in human bodies, which means even the best models focus only on segmenting known organs, and leave anything unknown alone.

There was once a CEO who built a great company, then decided to fire 20 % of the company and call those people publicly "measurers", so they are basically tainted in the marketplace. Oh wait...that was eastdakota

While a big fan of Claude's models, I am starting to worry about the "winner takes all" game starting to play out in the open. With free inference to them (as pointed out in the article), why won't Anthropic build significantly more products related to software development, and kill all other competitors? Developers first, Designers next, would some kind of a clone of Jira / Monday / Asana be next?

My biggest slop peeve is not necessarily using words like 'delve', it's the algorithmic structuring of headings.

Every single article out there is now structured as: - THE problem - THE solution - THE proof - Why it matters
