Tell HN: OpenAI now requires ID verification and won't refund API credits (Score: 150+ in 17 hours)
Link: https://readhacker.news/c/6EftD
Just frustrated here: I credited my OpenAI API account with credits, and then it turns out I have to go through some verification process to actually use the API, which involves disclosing personal data to some third-party vendor, which I am not prepared to do. So I asked for a refund and am told that that refunds are against their policy.
So I'll be cancelling my chatgpt plus sub, disputing the card payment, and moving to deepseek.
Edit: Deepseek seems to be a lot cheaper than OpenAI
Edit 2: seems verification is only needed for gpt-5, gpt-4o seems to work without it

Show HN: Diagram as code tool with draggable customizations (Score: 150+ in 8 hours)
Link: https://readhacker.news/s/6EgSJ
Comments: https://readhacker.news/c/6EgSJ
In the past I've used declarative diagram generation tools like Mermaid.js a lot for quickly drawing up things but for presentations or deliverables I find that I have to then move the generated diagrams over to a tool like Lucidchart which allows full control of the organization and customization.
Therefore I am now working on this to combine the benefits of both into just one tool which can do both functions.
The project is certainly in the early stages but if you find yourself making architecture diagrams I'd love to hear your thoughts on the idea or even a Github issue for a feature request!
One of the workflows I'm targeting is when an AI generates the first draft of the diagram (all the LLMs know .mmd syntax) and then the user can then customize it to their liking which I think can drastically speed up making complex diagrams!
I'm drowning in AI features I never asked for and I hate it (🔥 Score: 152+ in 2 hours)
