Ask HN: Are a lot of the companies turning the screws?

Hacker News - Fri, 02/20/2026 - 9:36pm

I and some of my developer friends are having common experiences at work right now where expectations are going up and staffing is stagnating or going down. I am feeling burnt out from it. Are you feeling this right now too?

Show HN: CRTX – AI code gen that tests and fixes its own output (OSS)

Hacker News - Fri, 02/20/2026 - 9:10pm

We built an open-source CLI that generates code, runs tests, fixes failures, and gets an independent AI review — all before you see the output. We started with a multi-model pipeline where different AI models handled different stages (architect, implement, refactor, verify). We assumed more models meant better code. Then we benchmarked it: 39% average quality score at $4.85 per run. A single model scored 94% at $0.36. Our pipeline was actively making things worse. So we killed it and rebuilt around what developers actually do when they get AI-generated code: run it, test it, fix what breaks. The Loop generates code, runs pytest automatically, feeds failures back for targeted fixes, and repeats until all tests pass. Then an independent Arbiter (always a different model than the generator) reviews the final output. Latest benchmark across three tasks (simple CLI, REST API, async multi-agent system): Single Sonnet: 94% avg, 10 min dev time, $0.36 Single o3: 81% avg, 4 min dev time, $0.44 Multi-model: 88% avg, 9 min dev time, $5.59 CRTX Loop: 99% avg, 2 min dev time, $1.80 "Dev time" estimates how long a developer would spend debugging the output before it's production-ready. The Loop's hardest prompt produced 127 passing tests with zero failures. When the Loop hits a test it can't fix, it has a three-tier escalation: diagnose the root cause before patching, strip context to just the failing test and source file, then bring in a different model for a second opinion. The goal is zero dev time on every run. Model-agnostic — works with Claude, GPT, o3, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek. Bring your own API keys. Apache 2.0. pip install crtx https://github.com/CRTXAI/crtx We published the benchmark tool too — run crtx benchmark --quick to reproduce our results with your own keys. Curious what scores people get on different providers and tasks.

Cisco Secure Web Appliance Real-Time Scanning Archive File Bypass Vulnerability

Cisco Security Advisories - Fri, 02/20/2026 - 9:08pm

A vulnerability in the Dynamic Vectoring and Streaming (DVS) Engine implementation of Cisco AsyncOS Software for Cisco Secure Web Appliance could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to bypass the anti-malware scanner, allowing malicious archive files to be downloaded.

This vulnerability is due to improper handling of certain archive files. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted archive file, which should be blocked, through an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to bypass the anti-malware scanner and download malware onto an end user workstation. The downloaded malware will not automatically execute unless the end user extracts and launches the malicious file. 

Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.

This advisory is available at the following link:
https://sec.cloudapps.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-wsa-archive-bypass-Scx2e8zF

<br/>Security Impact Rating: Medium <br/>CVE: CVE-2026-20056

Show HN: TypstMe – Build ATS-proof resumes using Typst and WASM

Hacker News - Fri, 02/20/2026 - 8:49pm

Hi HN,

I built TypstMe because I was frustrated with the current state of resume builders. Most of them are either overpriced monthly subscriptions or tools like Canva that produce absolute-positioned PDFs which ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems) often fail to parse correctly.

The Tech: I wanted the precision of Typst but with a GUI accessible to everyone. The core engine uses Typst compiled to WebAssembly (WASM), allowing for instant, pixel-perfect previews directly in the browser.

Key Features:

1. ATS-First Architecture: Unlike SVG or image-based exports, TypstMe generates clean text nodes that ensure 95%+ parsing accuracy in major ATS platforms.

2. AI Assistance: Integrated an LLM-powered assistant (via Cloudflare Workers) to help with "Executive Tone" and metrics optimization.

3. No Subscriptions: I hate the "pay monthly to search for a job" model. TypstMe is free to try, with a one-time lifetime payment for the Pro features.

Technical Stack:

- Next.js, Supabase, Prisma.

- Typst-ts (WASM).

- AI proxied through Cloudflare Workers for rate-limiting and cost control.

I’m looking for feedback on the editor's UX and the technical rendering performance. I'll be around to answer any questions!

Try it here: https://typstme.ch

Thanks!

Ask HN: Can RAG be used for recommendation system?

Hacker News - Fri, 02/20/2026 - 8:45pm

I have already worked on this for a week, but it's very hard to define the needs. The idea was to create a fully customized feed (with privacy! nothing is sent to the server), across different platform. Here are some questions that I have encountered:

1. I'm using sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2 for speed (people will never wait seconds for a single page), and every "clusters" are scored based on historical likes/watch/dislike with my custom layout. The thing that I'm not sure here is whether people will accept my layout(for now I was transforming the HN into tiktok-like scrolling experience). 2. Without any data, it's very hard to calibrate the scoring system for the baseline. One thing that I am uncomfortable with current algo-based platforms is that they are rather ignorance on personnal taste. They recommend based on what "others" similars to my taste instead. Anothing is that we can not select the "exploring" level. I think only 10~20% of the feeds on X are "new" to the user, and this proportion is not adjustable at all by the users themselves. However, I am thus not able to get more exploring contents from these websites.

It's quite massy with these two questions, but I really don't know how to continue since there are no existing apps/tools for this at all. If you have any needs, please share it :)

Really need your interaction to see if I should continue on this project or not!!!

Ask HN: What happens to all the hardware when data centers upgrade?

Hacker News - Fri, 02/20/2026 - 8:45pm

It seems like there will be a lot of hardware that gets discarded every couple of years as new, more powerful systems are made available.

AWS put out a video and article on how it recycles a large amount of its hardware, since it is built for maintainability and repairability.

How true is that? Does it apply to other datacenter operators as well?

What will happen to all the parallel compute cards that will get upgraded soon? They can't be reused as GPU's for gamers, can they?
