Launch HN: Karsa (YC W25) – Buy and save stablecoins internationally 17 by Shasnani | 18 comments on Hacker News. Hey HN, weʼre Shahryar and Dale, the co-founders of Karsa ( https://gokarsa.com ). Karsa makes it easy for anyone in emerging markets to buy and save in stablecoins to protect against currency instability and inflation. Here’s a quick demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C160H4yB08w#t=11 . Over a billion people live in countries with severe inflation and are unable to protect their wealth due to strict capital controls. The banking systems in most of these countries are designed to prevent access to assets like dollars—good luck getting a foreign currency account. Working in the crypto industry, we spent a lot of time thinking about how it can solve problems for people in the real world. Eventually, we saw a real, grassroots use-case emerge—one outside of the US entirely: people in developing countries started to use crypto exchanges like Binance to hold dollar-denomina...

Ask HN: How can I realistically change careers? 15 by throw101010101 | 15 comments on Hacker News. I’ve spent almost two decades in digital-focused roles, specialising in strategy, user research, and creating frameworks for better customer experiences (ostensibly UX I suppose). While I’ve found the work rewarding, I feel it’s time for a significant career change—potentially outside of this domain entirely. I’m seeking advice from others who have made mid-career transitions: • How did you pinpoint new directions that matched your skills and interests? • What were the most effective ways to reposition your experience in a new field? • Are there any resources or strategies you’d recommend for upskilling or building networks? I've often thought about cybersecurity as something I'd like to specialise in, but it seems like bootcamps and the like aren't worth the money they charge (most advice has been starting at the bottom as an IT helpdesk worker and going from there, but I...

Show HN: TabPFN v2 – A SOTA foundation model for small tabular data 9 by onasta | 1 comments on Hacker News. I am excited to announce the release of TabPFN v2, a tabular foundation model that delivers state-of-the-art predictions on small datasets in just 2.8 seconds for classification and 4.8 seconds for regression compared to strong baselines tuned for 4 hours. Published in Nature, this model outperforms traditional methods on datasets with up to 10,000 samples and 500 features. The model is available under an open license: a derivative of the Apache 2 license with a single modification, adding an enhanced attribution requirement inspired by the Llama 3 license: https://ift.tt/KfNnFg1 . You can also try it via API: https://ift.tt/5n6FBwe TabPFN v2 is trained on 130 million synthetic tabular prediction datasets to perform in-context learning and output a predictive distribution for the test data points. Each dataset acts as one meta-datapoint to train the TabPFN weights with SGD. A...

Show HN: API Parrot – Automatically Reverse Engineer HTTP APIs 21 by pvarghav | 1 comments on Hacker News. When automating business processes at work, I found it difficult and time-consuming to reverse engineer business systems' APIs. I often had to manually reverse engineer APIs using developer tools or settle for less optimal technologies such as Robotic Process Automation (RPA). Often, the issue is that it can be hard to resolve all the cookies, access tokens, and other elements required to successfully execute the requests. Manually trying to resolve these dependencies using developer tools is especially challenging with multiple requests where data is stored in JavaScript objects or HTML elements. To try to solve this issue, I built a tool called API Parrot that automatically identifies the data correlations between requests and builds a graphical representation of the flow to give users a better understanding. To streamline the process, I also included functionality to rec...
