Given the geopolitical and also commercial concerns re Starlink, its widespread use and growing importance both in commercial and military fields, vs its monopolistic position and control by a small number of individuals without oversight - does it qualify for antitrust review and possible action?

Should it be broken off from the SpaceX parent, and launch availability be made available to other orbital telecom competitors?

For that matter, should SpaceX launch technologies be designated of some importance to national security, and the technologies turned into some open source or some other library of technologies to foster a healthier ecosystem of low cost reusable launch providers?

OntoCast is a Python tool that extracts semantic RDF triples from unstructured documents (PDF, JSON, Markdown, text) using LLMs guided by ontologies.

It co-produces both the fact graph and the ontology, refining both through multi-stage critique and validation. This makes it domain-agnostic and useful even without a predefined schema.

Includes a /process endpoint (MCP-compatible) that returns RDF triples and ontology in Turtle. Supports entity disambiguation, semantic chunking, and KG aggregation. Can run locally or via REST, using OpenAI or local models via Ollama.

This is something I’ve never thought I’d write about. I’ve been running a job search app for about 1.5yrs. I started it just when the job market started going down fast.

From the begining I’ve had users asking if the app would be able to auto-apply for jobs on their behalf and I realized there was a market for it, but I had an ethical dillema with the idea. I didn’t like the fact that it could be used to spam job sites.

Fast forward a little bit and everyone and their mom started building auto-apply bots (some of whom have been really spamming reddit/twitter with their ads). Ngl, I felt a lot of FOMO, especially in the beginning when I saw actual good feedback from users of those tools.

To my surprise, in the last few months people have started hating these kind of apps. Part of it because all of the spammy ads, but also because most of them SUCK. They promise users that they only have to pay $50-$100/mo and the tool would magically land them a job. And 90% of the time they fail to deliver. And besides that, they’ve just made the entire process a lot worse. Recruiters are overwhelmed with low quality submissions and everyone is having a much harder time getting hired.

Bottom line is, the world doesn’t need yet another auto-apply bot so I’m not building one. Even if I could make a quick buck, it’s just not healthy for the job market.

Technology is awesome, but when used properly. For now our core mission will remain helping users to find the right jobs and find them before everyone else to give them the advantage of applying early.

Hey HN - long-time reader, first-time poster,

My friends and I built Vany, a tool that responds to any LLM query with a TikTok – essentially a short narrated video answer to your prompt. We built it because we often prefer watching a short video over reading a block of text or long article. There are many impressive AI video tools out there that generate visually striking content for creators, but we wanted something that gives helpful videos back to the queries we put into LLMs or search engines every day. We built this so anyone can quickly get an engaging and useful video back to any question – without needing to become a creator or professional prompter.

You can try it for free at https://vany.ai. Just type any question or topic and you’ll get a video answer in under a minute. We do ask for a quick one-click sign-in so we can give everyone a generous amount of free videos a day (up to 50/day this week for HN!). You can explore some recent examples at https://vany.ai/browse. Videos are private by default; if you want to share it, you can change the visibility via the Share button.

This is an early version, and there's a lot we want to improve. We’re working hard to make it useful and engaging (not slop!). We’re actively improving the quality of the answers - like getting the visuals to be more consistently accurate and making sure the video focuses on precisely what you wanted with minimal input - while also reducing time-to-first-frame and overall latency. Our biggest focus is to incorporate true motion video as the tech becomes more accessible (and if we can convince someone to give us credits!). We’re also planning to add support for follow up queries, multimedia input, and, eventually, languages beyond English.

We'd love to hear any feedback or suggestions you have! We’re especially curious to hear how you used it and if you found it useful. If you liked any of the videos, we’d love to see them (make public in the Share button and comment with the link)!
