Show HN: Deploybase – Compare GPU and LLM pricing across all major providers
3 by grasper_ | 0 comments on Hacker News.
I built a dashboard for near real-time GPU and LLM pricing across cloud and inference providers. You can view performance stats and pricing history, compare side by side, and bookmark to track any changes. Also covers MLOps tools. Would appreciate any feedback. https://deploybase.ai

Ask HN: How to approach new people in 2026?
2 by tavro | 2 comments on Hacker News.
i recently read an article in the guardian about how casual conversations with strangers are becoming increasingly rare. the piece argued that smartphones and post-pandemic habits have made people less likely to interact with strangers in everyday places. this made me think about my own situation. i have been fortunate to meet many great people through university and work, and i generally feel comfortable talking with people in those environments. but outside of structured settings it is a different story. i live in sweden, where approaching strangers in public is already culturally uncommon. it can feel even harder if you did not grow up here and do not already have established social circles. public spaces often feel socially “closed”. people are polite but tend to keep to themselves. so i am curious how others approach this today. how do you meet new people outside of work or school in 2026? do you ever start conversations with strangers in public, and if so how? are there environments where this works better than others? for people living in more reserved cultures (like scandinavia), what strategies have worked for you? would love to hear what has worked for others. :o)

Show HN: InstallerStudio – Create MSI Installers Without WiX or InstallShield

Hi, I'm Paul — 25 years of enterprise Windows development. I built InstallerStudio after WiX went from free/open source to $6,500/year support and InstallShield hit $2,000+/year. Every tool in this space is either unaffordable or requires writing XML by hand. InstallerStudio is a visual MSI designer built on WinUI 3/.NET 10. No XML, no subscriptions, no external dependencies. Handles files, Windows services, registry, shortcuts, file associations, custom actions, and full installer UI. $159 this month, $199 after. 30-day free trial. It ships its own installer, built with itself. Happy to answer questions about MSI internals.

Ask HN: Article to share with a technical manager about modern AI coding tools?

I’m on an IT team, and my manager uses ChatGPT’s chat interface for some tasks, (IAC) so he’s generally aware of AI. However, he’s not familiar with more advanced tools like Claude Code, Codex, or other development tools. I’m looking for a, balanced article that explains: What these tools can realistically do today Where they still struggle or fall short Any recommendations?

Show HN: Free, open-source native macOS client for di.fm

I built a menu bar app for streaming DI.FM internet radio on macOS. Swift/SwiftUI, no Electron. The existing options for DI.FM on desktop are either the web player (yet another browser tab) or unofficial Electron wrappers that idle at 200+ MB of RAM to play an audio stream. This sits in the menu bar at ~35 MB RAM and 0% CPU. The .app is about 1 MB. What it does: browse and search stations, play/pause, volume, see what's playing (artwork, artist, track, time), pick stream quality (320k MP3, 128k AAC, 64k AAC). Media keys work. It remembers your last station. Built with AVPlayer for streaming, MenuBarExtra for the UI, MPRemoteCommandCenter for media key integration. The trickiest part was getting accurate elapsed time. DI.FM's API and the ICY stream metadata don't always agree, so there's a small state machine that reconciles the two sources. macOS 14+ required. You need a DI.FM premium account for the high-quality streams. Source and binary: https://ift.tt/CZGvmEi
