USS Gerald R. Ford’s ‘record-breaking’ deployment could last 11 months, top admiral says
The USS Gerald R. Ford’s already long deployment will be “record-breaking” and “probably go into the 11th month of deployed operations,” Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Daryl Caudle said on Tuesday. “For those that are not in the Navy, that’s an extraordinary thing to even think about something of that kind of deployment length,” Caudle said while speaking at the Center for Strategic and International Studies think tank in Washington, D.C. “So my hat’s off to the Ford.”The aircra

Hegseth says US won’t rule out deploying ‘boots on the ground’ for Iran war
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says that neither he nor President Donald Trump will rule out the option of using U.S. ground troops in military operations against Iran as soldiers from the 82nd Airborne Division and additional Marines head to the Middle East.“We’re not gonna foreclose any option” when it comes to achieving the objectives of the U.S. military’s campaign against Iran, Hegseth told reporters on Tuesday.“You can’t fight and win a war if you tell your adversary what you a
Show HN: Veil – Dark mode PDFs without destroying images, runs in the browser
Hi HN!
here's a tool I just deployed that renders PDFs in dark mode without destroying the images. Internal and external links stay intact, and I decided to implement export since I'm not a fan of platform lock-in: you can view your dark PDF in your preferred reader, on any device.
It's a side project born from a personal need first and foremost.
When I was reading in the factory the books that eventually helped me get out of it, I had the problem that many study materials and bo

- mining, placement, crafting, furnaces, brewing, and boats
- hostile and passive mobs
- villages, dungeons, strongholds, Nether fortresses, and dragon progressionThis is still early alpha, but it’s
Show HN: Web game, an AI decides if you would survive in a survival situation
Hello HN, I made this website where you are given a unique survival scenario made by AI and you have to describe what you would do. The AI then decides if you would live or not. If you progress every round gets exponentially harder. Round 1 is a house fire, by round 6 you're fighting a kraken. I tried to make it as funny as possible.<p>Built using Cloudflare and GPT-4.1 Nano API.

Your model quality is tied to a business model
When AI capabilities are bundled into apps, your model quality is tied to the app's business model. Users who use the service too much or too little get a bad deal — and subscription pricing is nearly impossible to get right.The obvious fix is to decouple services from model providers — let users bring their own API keys. But most people don't use APIs. That's a developer-only path.So the remaining option is to build within the LLM's native environment. But current LLM interf

Ask HN: What's the latest concensus on OpenAI vs. Anthropic $20/month tier?
I'm considering $20/month variants only.I've had a Claude subscription for the past year, although I only really started properly using LLMs in the past couple of months. With Opus, I get about 5 messages every 5 hours (fairly small codebase); more with Sonnet. I then cancelled that, since its practically unusable and got ChatGPT sub about a week ago. Currently using it with 5.4 High and I haven't had to worry about limits. But the code it produces is definitely "differe
Ask HN: Non-profit, volunteers run org needs CRM. Is Odoo Community a good sol.?
Title basically tries to capture the gist of the question. I have been asked (volunteer) to assist in the project of migration from a proprietary, more costly CRM solution, to an Odoo Community "product", to be architected, configured, deployed in a cloud service and operated by a specialized partner. My specialization is in infrastructure (architecture, ops and security), so I could certainly validate mapping the apps functionality into the right components, but I have zero knowledge
