Hi HN! I built M-Courtyard because fine-tuning LLMs locally was frustrating — CLI tools, Python scripts, and scattered documentation.

This app wraps the full pipeline (document → dataset → fine-tune → test → export to Ollama) into a single desktop app that runs entirely on Apple Silicon.

I'm trying to decide whether to adopt Cursor for our company, but we're in a heavily regulated industry and our compliance team is flagging concerns about HIPAA/SOC2/audit trails.

The thing is, there are companies in regulated industries using it [1][2]. But Cursor has no HIPAA BAA, no FedRAMP certification, and is cloud-only with all requests routing through their AWS infrastructure. (This is probably true for Claude and other coding assistants, though I've only looked seriously at Cursor.)

So how are regulated companies actually making this work? Or do most just avoid Cursor and other AI coding tools altogether?

Hey frens,

We built SharpSkill in order to help the community increase their success rate during technical interviews.

Feel free to share some feedback.

It seems to me like there’s an overall negative sentiment towards crypto here on HN. Why is this the case?

I get there’s a lot of false hype around various projects and the space has scams but looking beyond that, is it not a system that can disrupt existing financial system? Im taking about things like decentralised exchanges, RWAs, stablecoins, appear to be converging on allowing more people to participate in the financial markets without needing to go thru lengthy onboarding processes or engaging with brokers. The programmable factor also allows for there to be a platform for new ways of auntonomous transacting.

Do people tend to disagree with this vision or if not, why then would people here on HN have a negative view on crypto?

Technical roles only.

Must be able to ship: code, infra, AI/LLM, API. Location: Will happen either in Los Angeles or San Francisco (In-person needed - Full commitment needed) Type/structure: Working together with 5 other genius programmers. Founding Team / Equity

Compensation: 5% equity + $100/day (For 60 days until investors onboard then pay raises) + $$$$ Bonus as backpay once ARR reached.

Timeline: 60-day sprint to MVP, then bring investors

THE MISSION We're ending the tool monopoly. We are unifying all the startups/small/medium SAAS/Tools into a unified native space where an AI layer brain operates seamlessly between all the tools via deep API. We can talk about the HOW and the structured plan approach during meetups.

For too long, Microsoft, Google, and every big corporate SaaS company has either bought or suppressed smaller SaaS companies. We are looking to end that, once in for all and put an end to money sucking corporate America. Unifying, giving the people a fighting chance against corporations.

The plan: Esbern is a unified native OS that makes EVERY tool work together under one native interface via API. AI-powered brain.

THE OFFER If you believe you can change the world. If you're crazy enough to believe it, together with other crazy people including me can hopefully change the world for the better.

5% equity, stock options later on.

$100/day for 60 days - Survival money during MVP build (Until we get investors for pay raises) Backpay Cash Bonus - Paid when we hit ARR, talk about the details on meetup.

Market salary after funding - Competitive pay rates and options once we close investors (45-60 days) Founding team status - Your name in the history books

THE CATCH This is war, not a comfortable job. 60 days, all in. $100/day won't cover your SF rent. You need to believe we can actually tear down the old system and build something better. If we succeed: You helped end Big Tech's tool monopoly + generational wealth

If we fail: $4,500 AKA $100 per day, meet some crazy people, battle scars, and the new knowledge gained.

WHO WE WANT People who are ANGRY that Big Tech has controlled tools for 20 years, F>> corporate America.

Builders who think "impossible" just means no one's done it yet. Crazy enough to believe 5 people can change the entire industry/world Based in LA or SF (we're building this in person)

Show us your GitHub, deployed projects, or technical portfolio." Technical people only: Engineers who can BUILD: apps, AI/LLM integrations, API, infra etc…. Non-technical roles = don't apply.

APPLY Send to: info@esbern.com We can discuss about ourselves and how we got to this plan. We have a structured plan to go to market quickly using public API and existing tool stack people already use to enter the market and gain momentum.

Include: GitHub profile if any, linkedin profile Do you believe in our mission? Why What's your technical superpower (Frontend, backend, full-stack, AI/ML, infrastructure, integrations, etc.?) What do you specialize in? Drop links if any.

Can you start in the next 2 weeks? Where are you located?

Hi HN,

I grew tired of the research loop. I hated having 20 tabs open, comparing shipping speeds, and filling out the same checkout forms over and over. I realized that while the internet made shopping easier, it didn't necessarily make it faster.

I built Piggzy (piggzy.com) to be the invisible layer between your intent and your doorstep. The goal is to turn your inbox into a universal "Buy" button. No more passwords, no more tracking 10 different retail accounts, and no more out-of-stock frustrations.

How it works:

One-time setup: Secure your account and payment method at Piggzy.com.

Request via Email: Send a request to buy@piggzy.com (e.g., "Find the best noise-canceling headphones for a loud office under $250").

The Magic: We do the heavy lifting of finding the right item and email you the recommendation + cost breakdown.

Execution: You reply "Yes" or "Buy," and the agent handles the transaction.

Why Email? I wanted to build a "headless" experience. I don't want to give you another dashboard to check. If you have an idea for something you need, you should be able to fire off an email and forget about it until the recommendation hits your inbox.

The Vision: Right now, the focus is purely on the "hard work" of finding the right item and executing the purchase. I’m trying to solve the cognitive load of e-commerce.

I’ll be here all day to answer questions. I’m particularly interested in hearing your thoughts on:

The UX of email-based commerce.

Security expectations for agentic buying.

What specific "research loops" drive you the most crazy.

What can Piggzy find for you today?
