We are sympathetic, but it's still not OK to fulminate on HN, no matter what it's about. It just makes the place miserable. Please flag it or email us (hn@ycombinator.com) if you think a post is unfit for HN.

I find non-constructive feedback more tiring. People just dismiss things as soon as it has the faintest trace of AI without judging them for what they actually are. Not saying the AI slop noise isn’t annoying though.

#73There's no data when I tried it on a windows 11 PC. It seemed to install all deps front end is served but dossier says intel unavailable. No planes etc. No helpful output in the command window. Seems fun but doesn't seem to be working.
Ah, that's my fault for not making the error handling clearer in the UI. If the map is blank, it usually means the backend is missing the .env file with the free API keys (AISSTREAM_API_KEY and N2YO_API_KEY), so it's silently failing to fetch the streams. Did the terminal throw any Python FastAPI errors, or did it just serve the Next.js frontend? I'm going to push an update later today to show a prominent "Backend Di…
On the topic of API Keys, for Opensky it's OPENSKY_CLIENT_ID and OPENSKY_CLIENT_SECRET, the readme has OPENSKY_USERNAME and OPENSKY_PASSWORD

#74> Do not use this tool for any operational, military, or intelligence purpose. How long before we see this UI in some Iran related news story
I REALLY, REALLY dont want it used for that type of stuff.

Why are you entitled to receiving constructive feedback on "your" project when you couldn't be bothered to write the project yourself in the first place? If you want "feedback" of the same quality and effort as the project itself, you can always go ask your beloved AI for feedback instead of wasting precious human time.
Man, the overwhelming majority of your comments over the past several months are you whining about AI or being extremely salty about anything remotely AI related. You bash AI content, people who use AI to make cool stuff, AI companies, people who say anything positive about said companies... I really wonder what exactly you think your negative attitude contributes to these discussions.
I think it contributes to a general pushback against AI, which some of us appreciate...

#76What's with so many people creating new accounts to promote LLM generated projects? Are they people who don't care about HN and just trying to self promote? Existing users creating new accounts? Lurkers?
It's a bummer because sometimes the headline seems cool, but its always generated blah blah recently. I don't think I've seen a non-AI readme on here in months..
Everyone has their own hueristic, but if it took someone 6 hours or whatever to make some whole big app, my confidence that they will continue to maintain or care about it even next week is pretty much zero... How could they? They've already made three other apps in that time!
I don't care if the code is perfect, all this stuff just has the feel of plastic cutlery, if that makes sense.

> Never mind the fact that AIs of the LLM-variety haven't and aren't going to find solutions to mathematical problems. This is empirically wrong as of early 2026. Since Christmas 2025, 15 Erdos problems have been moved from "open" to "solved" on erdosproblems.com, 11 of them crediting AI models. Problems #397, #728, and #729 were solved by GPT-5.2 Pro generating original arguments (not literature lookups), formalized…

#79This looks really cool.. Let me ask a dumb question. Can this be run on a public server (I use dreamhost) with a web interface for others to see? Or is this strictly something that gets run on a local computer?
Well, I have to make some modifications, but that isn't recommended right now because I have a settings option with the API key right there for the free world to see, lol. I will work on making a version for hosting it, though. You can throw it on a server and run it for you to see (or anyone else if you trust people or dont care about losing your free API keys) It's just a standard Next.js and FastAPI stack, and the…
Cloudflare Tunnel is solid for quick demos. One thing though — if you're planning the "bring your own keys" version, don't just throw them in a settings page. I went down that road and ended up with keys sitting in localStorage where any XSS could grab them. What worked better for me was having the backend hold the keys and issuing short-lived session tokens to the frontend. More moving parts but way less surface area if something goes wrong.

Plastic cutlery is a dead-on perfect analogy.
