Ask HN: Are there any apps to track grocery prices in local stores?
With tariffs kicking in and imports slowing, I want to track the local impact at my grocery stores. Does anyone have any suggestions? Would scraping websites of local grocers be sufficient? Any prior art?

Ask HN: What tech prediction do you think most people are wrong about?
I've been hearing a lot of bold tech predictions lately - some in conversations at work or with friends, others here on HN, and others from podcasts and articles. Things like:
-LLMs reaching human-level reasoning within 2 years
-Self-driving taxis taking over major cities by 2027
-AI replacing most programming jobs within 5 years
-AI personalities becoming household names
-AGI arriving before 2030
-Apple Vision Pro doing for AR what iPhone did for smartphones (despite its current flop)
-Voice interfaces becoming the primary way we interact with computers
-The end of traditional cloud infrastructure as serverless takes over
-Code becoming mostly AI-written with humans just reviewing
-Vibe coding replacing traditional coding
-The four-day workweek will become standard across most tech companies by 2027
-Tech regulation will force the breakup of at least one major tech company
-Quantum computing will break most current encryption by 2030
Some of these are things I could see happening (or are already beginning to happen), but others seem exaggerated to me.
What tech prediction do you think most people have totally wrong and why?
I'm not looking for generic tech pessimism; I'm more interested in specific predictions you think won't pan out and why.
