I've spent the past few years building 50+ AI agents in prod (some reached 1M+ sessions/day), and the hardest part was never building them — it was figuring out why they fail.AI agents don't crash. They just quietly give wrong answers. You end up scrolling through traces one by one, trying to find a pattern across hundreds of sessions.Kelet automates that investigation. Here's how it works:1. You connect your traces and signals (user feedback, edits, clicks, sentiment, LLM-as-a-judge, etc.) 2. Kelet processes those signals and extracts facts about each session 3. It forms hypotheses about what went wrong in each case 4. It clusters similar hypotheses across sessions and investigates them together 5. It surfaces a root cause with a suggested fix you can review and applyThe key insight: individual session failures look random. But when you cluster the hypotheses, failure patterns emerge.The fastest way to integrate is through the Kelet Skill for coding agents — it scans your codebase, discovers where signals should be collected, and sets everything up for you. There are also Python and TypeScript SDKs if you prefer manual setup.It’s currently free during beta. No credit card required. Docs: https://kelet.ai/docs/I'd love feedback on the approach, especially from anyone running agents in prod. Does automating the manual error analysis sound right?

Fly Labs Method
Is the pain real, is there a gap, is it the right time, can one person build it.
Kelet addresses a critical and deeply felt pain point for LLM developers with a compelling, differentiated approach to automated root cause analysis. While the market is competitive, the unique angle and high willingness to pay make it attractive. The primary challenge for a solo builder will be the sheer complexity and reliability needed for the core AI agent functionality.
Value Equation
Dream outcome and how likely it feels, against the time and effort it costs.
This idea has strong market viability and a compelling value proposition in a growing market, but execution complexity for a solo builder is a notable factor.
One-Person Business
Curiosity pull, identity fit, and a path from free value to paid for a solo creator.
A highly relevant problem addressed by an expert, targeting a specific niche with clear monetization, but the underlying solution's complexity for a solo builder is a key consideration.
Viral Frameworks
Hook strength, shareability, and how cheaply it can be tested.
Kelet has a strong, measurable value proposition for a specific, reachable audience, with a viable business model. The key risks lie in the technical assumption of reliable AI-driven root cause analysis and current validation status.
Builder Lens
Evidence the problem exists, timing, defensibility, and a model that fits on a napkin.
Kelet addresses a critical, growing pain point for a specific user with a unique insight, showing strong potential for future relevance and a clear path to an MVP.

Market signals
The market for LLM application debugging and observability is rapidly growing and is a significant niche within the broader AI industry. Recent acquisitions (Helicone by Mintlify, Galileo AI by Google) indicate consolidation and strong interest from larger tech companies. There's a clear trend towards more comprehensive platforms offering not just observability but also evaluation, prompt management, and even AI gateway functionalities to address the complexities of LLM deployments.
What frustrates people
Last summer we faced a conundrum at my company, Tiger Data, a Postgres cloud vendor whose main business is in timeseries data. We were trying to grow our business towards emerging AI-centric workloads and wanted to provide a state-of-the-art hybrid search stack in Postgres. We'd already built pgvectorscale in house with the goal of scaling semantic search beyond pgvector's main memory limitations. We just needed a scalable ranked keyword search solution too.The problem: core Postgres doesn't provide this; the leading Postgres BM25 extension, ParadeDB, is guarded behind AGPL; developing our own extension appeared daunting. We'd need a small team of sharp engineers and 6-12 months, I figured. And we'd probably still fall short of the performance of a mature system like Parade/Tantivy.Or would we? I'd be experimenting long enough with AI-boosted development at that point to realize that with the latest tools (Claude Code + Opus) and an experienced hand (I've been working in database systems internals for 25 years now), the old time estimates pretty much go out the window.I told our CTO I thought I could solo the project in one quarter. This raised some eyebrows.It did take a little more time than that (two quarters), and we got some real help from the community (amazing!) after open-sourcing the pre-release. But I'm thrilled/exhausted today to share that pg_textsearch v1.0 is freely available via open source (Postgres license), on Tiger Data cloud, and hopefully soon, a hyperscalar near you:https://github.com/timescale/pg_textsearchIn the blog post accompanying the release, I overview the architecture and present benchmark results using MS-MARCO. To my surprise, we were not only able to meet Parade/Tantivy's query performance, but exceed it substantially, measuring a 4.7x advantage on query throughput at scale:https://www.tigerdata.com/blog/pg-textsearch-bm25-fu

Hi HN!I recently switched from a Fedora/GNOME laptop to a MacBook Air. My old setup served me well as a portable workstation, but I’ve started traveling more while working remotely and needed something with similar performance but better battery life. The main thing I missed was a simple taskbar that shows the windows in the current workspace instead of a Dock that mixes everything together.I built boringBar so I would not have to use the Dock. It shows only the windows in the current Space, lets you switch Spaces by scrolling on the bar, and adds a desktop switcher so you can jump directly to any Space. You can also hide the system Dock, pin apps, preview windows with thumbnails, and launch apps from a searchable menu (I keep Spotlight disabled because for some reason it uses a lot of system resources on my machine).I’ve been dogfooding it for a few months now, and it finally felt polished enough to share.It’s for people who like macOS but want window management to feel a bit more like GNOME, Windows, or a traditional taskbar. It’s also for people like me who wanted an easier transition to macOS, especially now that Windows feels increasingly user-hostile.I’d love feedback on the UX, bugs, and whether this solves the same Dock/Spaces pain for anyone else.P.S. It might also appeal to people who feel nostalgic for the GNOME 2 desktop of yore. I started my Linux journey with it, and boringBar brings back some of that feeling for me.

### Describe the project you are working on Godot C# bindings ### Describe the problem or limitation you are having in your project For the past weeks, I've been discussing with several Unity users intending to move to Godot C# regarding dealing with the C# garbage collector. The most common complaint I hear from users is that, in Unity, allocations can trigger unexpected GC spikes into the game. In Godot, we target to make all of the high performance APIs (those that intended to be called every frame) not allocate any memory, so theoretically the GC should not be a problem. Additionally, Godot starting from 4.0, uses the Microsoft CoreCLR version of .net, which also supposedly has a better garbage collector than Unity. But in all, after several discussions with Unity users, neither is enough reassurance for them, and they would really feel safer if Godot exposed a zero allocation API. ### Describe the feature / enhancement and how it helps to overcome the problem or limitation The idea of this proposal is that Godot exposes zero allocation versions of many functions in the C# API, that users can use if they desire. Technically, this could be done from the binding generator itself, without breaking compatibility, and without doing any modification to Godot itself. ### Describe how your proposal will work, with code, pseudo-code, mock-ups, and/or diagrams **WARNING** I am not familiar with C#, so take this as pseudocode. Imagine you have two functions exposed as to C#: ```C# void MyClass.SetArray( Vector2[] array); Vector2[] MyClass.GetArray(); ``` This works and is pretty and intuitive. However, it has two problems: * GC is allocated on return * Memory is copied to Godot native formats every time there is a call. The idea is to add NoAlloc versions, which can be generated directly by the binder automatically when required: ```C# void MyClass.SetArrayNoAlloc( Godot.Collections.PackedVector2Array array); void MyCl
