Doing research with agents is fun until they blow way past budget, jumble the sources, and don't even give you the best possible answer, just sound confident.And if you want to run some research task on local data - you have no idea where your data ends up after the prompt consumes it.So I built this tool: a deep-research agent with an enforced budget, verified quotes, and a privacy boundary for local data.1. Never spend more than you budgeted (measured overshoot is 0%). 2. Every claim carries a source 3. Data stays local (give a CSV, it'll analyze it without the data ever leaving your machine)Works with most LLMs, including coding agents, subscriptions, local models, etc.It's free and open source, would appreciate all feedback!

Author here!Agents are applying to jobs for people right now, with progressively more volume, and there's nothing built for it. So they scrape career pages and fight ATS forms with Playwright/Browser Use, which breaks constantly (or they get bot blocked). Employers get buried in applications that don't fit, candidates hear nothing back, and the resume is now an AI-written thing that another AI scores (which breaks the existing model entirely, btw).OJCP is MCP tools for search and apply, a manifest at /.well-known/ojcp.json so agents can find providers, and schemas that extend schema.org instead of replacing it. The playground on the site is a live MCP endpoint, so you can throw calls at it right now.Why a spec at all when models keep getting better at figuring things out? Inference can't produce authorization. An agent can work out what a form wants. It can't establish that someone consented to this specific submission, and then employer has no way to verify who's calling. So TL;DR a more capable agent is also a more capable impersonator.In this model, trust runs both direction. Agents sign requests using the same method that CloudFlare and OpenAI are already using, providers sign their manifests, agents can check against a JWKS, and trust tiers cap how much candidate PII can go to a given provider. Validation happens at consent, so browsing costs nothing and you only pay the verify when the interaction occurs.I'm the CTO of Recruitics (job advertising) and spent time at LinkedIn before that, so I've been at the intersection of hiring and job search for a while and have felt the pain of both sides.Happy to answer any questions!

Hi HN! We’re Adi and Alex, founders of Bullet, a faster coding agent.Bullet started in a senior year dorm. We were fresh out of working at AppLovin and Citadel, and naturally thought we were on a sure path to startup success. We were going to use our skills optimizing stock pricing calculation speeds and agent document context to take over the world. So, Bullet started as an AI hedge fund, a browser-use agent, synthetic financial data (oof), a mobile IDE, and a bunch of other things. We wanted to build something people wanted, but it seemed like everything we built was just terrible, useless, or both.So, we decided to do something completely different, something completely out of the blue, something that no one had ever done before. Solve a problem we actually had.Over the course of six pivots, we suffered. Throughout all of our adventures, one final boss kept getting in our way. Claude Code and his little brother Codex. We were spending hours waiting for coding agents like Claude Code and Codex, and got so frustrated to the point that I downloaded the Claude Code whip. We had spent months of time waiting for six codebases-worth of useless coding agent work.Lightbulb moment. There’s nothing more noble than destroying the institutions! Let’s take on Claude Code and Codex, we can do it! Piece of cake!And so, Bullet started off as a side project. We used the Claude Code to improve the Claude Code:1. Model routing. Do you regret giving a task to Fable when it could have literally been done by Sonnet?2. Targeted code + context search. We think embedding the whole repo is dumb. We also think sticking the whole context (or compressed context) in chat is dumb. So we do faster and better greps over both.3. Aggressive context hygiene. Tool output is bounded, stale screenshots disappear, we don’t re-read files…the garbage never floods the model.4. Efficient turns. Batch independent investigation, make one surgical edit, then perform one focused verification. Internal measureme

Most color palettes collapse if you've got a strong redshift/nightshift color filter actively suppressing green and blue channels. I made one that doesn't.Ember has terminal, chart, heatmap, and UI palettes designed and tested to be as distinguishable as possible under both the redshift & non-redshift condition... so no more duplicate color appearances (or worse yet, disappearing colors!).

Line9 is a new rendering engine for Mermaid flowchart diagrams that aims to remove the need for manual adjustment of layout. Mermaid is a popular text-based language for describing multiple types of diagrams.Several Mermaid rendering engines already exist. Most, like the original mermaid.js, use Dagre or ELK graph drawing libraries to automatically lay out their diagrams. I’ve used Mermaid for the past four years but often recreated my flowcharts in a diagram editor so that I could modify the layout to something that better suited my needs.Use Line9 when you want an automatic flowchart arrangement that optimises for clear communication. It seeks to layout flowcharts with regular grid spacing, closer positioning of related nodes, shorter, straighter edges and targets a page-like aspect ratio. The Compare button in the /diagram page (share panel on the left) shows you the Line9 and mermaid.js renders next to each other.Use for free, no account required. A CLI tool can also be downloaded for Mac, Windows and Linux. Free-use diagrams carry a watermark. Commercial use of the CLI requires a paid account and you also get diagrams without watermarks. Line9 is not open source (I need to create an income and the business model is being tested).I’ve tried to encode and automate the layout principles I use when creating flowcharts by hand. All rendering takes place in the browser, so no private data is sent to the web service. The CLI is written in Rust and embeds the renderer so you get a single binary install and all data and processing remains local. It’s currently a little slower than mermaid.js, due to the difficulty of solving node positioning and edge routing simultaneously to find the layout that best meets the design principles.Output is produced in SVG or PNG formats. Diagrams can also be shared via a URL with a fragment that embeds the Mermaid text.Things I know still need improvement: positioning and rotating subgraphs, folding graphs to hit good aspect ratios
