Ask HN: What's your current AI agentic setup?
I'm curious how people on HN are using AI day to day, and came up with a list of questions I thought could be interesting to know.
Why am I seeing this Ranked on recency
It is here mostly because it is new. Freshness is the largest single contributor to its score, which means nothing about the story except that it is recent.
Nothing much is corroborating this yet. On a quiet day in ai that is enough to reach the top of the section — recency, not significance, is doing the work here.
Link-outLink-out, because only one organisation carries it and no first-party source is on it. Link-out means we point at the publisher and say nothing of our own.
| Factor | Weight | Score | Contribution | Where it came from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Corroboration | 0.35 | 0.00 | +0.000 0% | 0 independent org on the story. Tier-3 aggregators never corroborate — they can show something is circulating, never that it is true. |
| Source trust | 0.25 | 0.45 | +0.113 40% | Hacker News is the highest-trust source on this story. Trust is taken from the best source, not averaged. |
| Pickup rate | 0.20 | 0.00 | +0.000 0% | One counted organisation, so there is no spread to measure — nothing has picked this up to set a rate. |
| Freshnessleads | 0.20 | 0.86 | +0.172 60% | Halves every 10 hours from the newest item on the story. This is the only factor that rewards a story for nothing more than being recent. |
Corroboration counts distinct organisations, once each, and only from tiers 1 and 2 — Hacker News appears on this story and counts for nothing. Freshness halves every 10 hours, so this ranking is a snapshot and will differ at the next build.

I'm curious how people on HN are using AI day to day, and came up with a list of questions I thought could be interesting to know. No need to answer every question of course, just wanted to get a gut feel how people are using AI. 1) What AI subscriptions are you personally paying for? (Claude, ChatGPT/Codex, Cursor, etc) - Which tiers? - Have you purchased multiple subscriptions from the same provider (eg two Claude accounts)? 2) Are you using models outside (or instead) of those subscriptions? For example, pay-as-you-go APIs, OpenRouter, or locally hosted models. - Which models and providers? 3) What coding harnesses and interfaces are you using?
