Ask HN: AI Depression

Hacker News - Fri, 02/13/2026 - 7:12am

Hi,

Throw-away account because my original one is easily identifiable.

Does any starts to feel depressed about AI push and hype? I'm around ~45 and have been happily hacking and delivering stuff for 25 years.

I use AI daily — it's a useful tool. But the gap between the marketing and reality for many of us is hard to describe. The people and corporations and all those LinkedIn gurus, podcasters declaring our obsolescence are overwhelmingly people who've never built or maintained anything complex in their lives. I'm sick of posts showing developers as awesome managers orchestrating fleets of Codex and Claude Code instances — I don't know a single person who actually has access to unlimited quotas for that. I'm now scared to publish open source because some random AI agent might spam my repo with garbage PRs and issues. Are we really expected to deliver mediocre C compilers while emitting millions of tons of CO2 into the atmosphere just to make a handful of rich people even more rich? And suddenly we have something like Moltbook to pollute our planet even more. Where are we going with this?

Anybody feels something like that? I seriously thinking about leaving the industry to keep my mental health in control or switch to some tech that is hard for AI.

Show HN: Paper Banana – AI academic illustration generator

Hacker News - Fri, 02/13/2026 - 7:07am

Hi HN,

I built PaperBanana to help researchers create professional scientific figures and diagrams using AI.

It turns text descriptions or rough sketches into publication-ready illustrations, including system architectures, flowcharts, and schematics.

I’d love to hear your feedback on the output quality and what scientific styles you’d like to see added.

Show HN: A lightweight, ad-free medal tracker for Milano Cortina 2026

Hacker News - Fri, 02/13/2026 - 7:07am

I got frustrated with the official Olympic websites and mainstream sports apps. They are often bloated with trackers, heavy ads, and confusing navigation, especially on mobile.

So I built Milano2026.live.

The goal was simple:

Speed: Near-instant loading for checking results on the go.

No Bloat: No ads, no unnecessary JS.

Better UX: A clean schedule that doesn't feel like reading a spreadsheet (just fixed the formatting based on early feedback!).

It's built using Next.js 15 and deployed on Vercel. I'm using ISR to keep the medal counts fresh while keeping the server load minimal.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the performance or if there's any specific data you'd like to see added during the games!

CISA Adds One Known Exploited Vulnerability to Catalog

US-Cert Current Activity - Fri, 02/13/2026 - 7:00am

CISA has added one new vulnerability to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) Catalog, based on evidence of active exploitation.

  • CVE-2026-1731 BeyondTrust Remote Support (RS) and Privileged Remote Access (PRA) OS Command Injection Vulnerability

These types of vulnerabilities are frequent attack vectors for malicious cyber actors and pose significant risks to the federal enterprise.

Binding Operational Directive (BOD) 22-01: Reducing the Significant Risk of Known Exploited Vulnerabilities established the KEV Catalog as a living list of known Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) that carry significant risk to the federal enterprise. BOD 22-01 requires Federal Civilian Executive Branch (FCEB) agencies to remediate identified vulnerabilities by the due date to protect FCEB networks against active threats. See the BOD 22-01 Fact Sheet for more information.

Although BOD 22-01 only applies to FCEB agencies, CISA strongly urges all organizations to reduce their exposure to cyberattacks by prioritizing timely remediation of KEV Catalog vulnerabilities as part of their vulnerability management practice. CISA will continue to add vulnerabilities to the catalog that meet the specified criteria.
