This is what it looks like when Marine recruits meet their drill instructors for the first time
Pick-Up Day is the moment of truth for Marine recruits. Sometimes called “Black Friday” among Marines, it marks the first time they meet their drill instructors, who will train them for the next 13 weeks of boot camp.The U.S. military recently published photos of recruits’ first encounters with their drill instructors at Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego, California, and you can almost hear the yelling.The May 30 photos by Marine Cpl. Evelyn Doherty underscore the intensity of that moment: re
Why would someone want to learn code when AI does it better and faster?
I know it sounds like I'm some sort of self-taught "prompt engineer" but actually I spent some time learning to code, and a mistake I made was focusing too much on learning different frameworks and syntax etc etc. But it's impossible to consistently program and only learn syntax and no problem solving. So I learned a bit that too. But it hurt me very bad when I found out, not only AI is better than me in syntax, so it is in problem solving (however I sometimes catch their mis
From Dull to Dialed In: The Real Impact of Sharpening Garden Tools and Mower Blades
Dull tools don’t just slow you down—they make every job harder than it needs to be. From lawn mower blades that tear instead of cut to pruners that crush instead of slice, a proper edge changes everything. I sharpen and balance mower blades (must be removed), plus all manual garden tools like shovels, pruners, and loppers—and I’ll also tell you honestly if something isn’t worth sharpening anymore. Bring your tools back to life and make your yard work a whole lot easier.From Dull to Dialed In: Th

The last light tank the Army had actually wasn’t bad
The Army has been on an as-of-yet unending quest for a true light tank or mobile gun capable of landing behind enemy lines alongside airborne troops. Just last year, the service canceled the M10 Booker — a light tank that never was. And that’s hardly the first of its weight class to end up in the Army’s boneyard — there’s the M56 Scorpion and the M50 Ontos, to name two. It hasn’t been since the M551 Sheridan that the service got what it needed out of a light tank, and even then, only kind of.An

Show HN: Agents Remember – Git-aware memory for coding agents
I’ve been building an open-source project called Agents Remember, and I think it might fit the discussion here because it started as “how do I make coding agents remember my repo?” but turned into a broader question:What should memory for agents actually be?The basic idea is simple: coding agents are good at local edits, but they often miss the project-specific knowledge that experienced engineers carry around in their heads.The memory itself is Markdown and Git-based. A source file can have a m
Show HN: Jin – a machine-readable protocol making internet legible for AI
Hi HN!I'm building Jin - an open-source protocol for agent builders and webmasters to make the everyday internet legible for AI agents.I use AI agents for coding & research and one thing I've observed is that we spend to much time, money or both on giving scraping powers to our agents. That got me thinking, what if there was a system for my AI agent to deliver what I want from the internet without having to break a sweat? And that gave me the intent layer idea.Here's how Jin w

Families at a Texas Air Force base say neighborhoods overrun by weeds
Neighbors at a Texas Air Force Base say that they have seen poisonous snakes and scorpions hiding in waist-high weeds and grass in base neighborhoods where landscaping crews have not worked in over a month. Families at Lackland Air Force Base, which is home to Air Force basic training, shared photos with Task & Purpose of waist-high grass that residents say has been allowed to grow by base housing officials since the first week of May.“The last time they mowed in my neighborhood was 4 M
