AI and the Fall of Writing

Hacker News - Sun, 07/12/2026 - 2:08pm

We can all spot an AI written text Not by its hallucinations - because it generally isn't any. Not by poor grammar - because it isn't.

In fact, that's the problem. The text IS perfect. Having been trained on loads of written texts - including a gazillion books - AI written texts contains all hallmarks of good texts; Sentence structure, grammar, rethoric tweaks and what not.

What does that make of us who like writing?

Ask HN: Recommended technographic API?

Hacker News - Sun, 07/12/2026 - 2:05pm

Does anyone know of any good technographic APIs? I run a dev consultancy and basically want to know what tech stack they currently use (ie what they use for CI/CD or security), so it can help me prepare when i talk to a prospect. I know Builtwith is the leader in this space but i feel its lacking a bit when it comes to finding tech that isnt front end or JS focused.

I’ve tried using the Anthropic API but most of the time it seems to give me hallucinated results (based on the results for companies I know their tech stack)

Ideally something that doesnt cost an arm and an leg :)
