Ask HN: How's Business These Days for Upwork Freelancers?

Hacker News - Tue, 02/17/2026 - 3:54am

I wonder if or how AI-assistance might be used more these days. By either the freelancers in delivering their services, or by buyers who might be figuring they don't need to hire a freelancer for whatever reason these days.

Defensive Publication: A $0 Alternative to Patents for Bootstrapped SaaS

Hacker News - Tue, 02/17/2026 - 3:10am

I see many founders spending $20k+ on patents too early. I wanted to share a cheaper engineering-focused strategy called "Defensive Publication" (using GitHub + Wayback Machine to establish Prior Art under 35 U.S.C. 102).

I wrote a detailed breakdown on how to structure the "Enabling Disclosure" so it actually holds up in court: https://patentailab.com/defensive-publication-strategy/

Has anyone here successfully used defensive publication to block a patent troll?

HN is an echo chamber of AI wrappers. Moving to Slashdot

Hacker News - Tue, 02/17/2026 - 2:53am

Move fast and break things" is a lie now. This place has been softened by corporate bureaucracy. Every "Show HN" I see is either a hollow AI wrapper or an "OS" that’s just three agents talking to each other. It’s performative and empty.

I am a sociologist. I was never your "coding guy," yet I build. I’ve never taken your language wars seriously—low level, high level, Javascript—it doesn't matter. Since AI arrived, I’ve been open about being "lazy" with manual coding, but I never stopped generating ideas. I thought this platform valued original thought, but it only cares about corporate-safe jargon and intellectual posturing.

I’m not here to "karma whore" or talk in circles just to get your upvotes. I’d rather go to the X crowd, where I can gain real users and build real chaos.

I’m moving to Slashdot. I hope you find your original spirit again, but until then, enjoy your polite, sterilized echo chamber. I’m out.

Peace.

Show HN: Toice – Local voice typing for Linux using Whisper

Hacker News - Tue, 02/17/2026 - 2:50am

I built this because existing voice typing solutions either don't work well on Linux or send your audio to the cloud.

Toice is simple: press a hotkey, speak, and paste the transcribed text anywhere. It uses Whisper models locally (you choose the size during setup).

Works system-wide across all applications. English only for now.
