Hacker News Hacker Newsin the process, figuring out some tricks for getting opus to work with 3d a bit better
two tricks ive found is to:
1. get claude to present all the orientations to you, then pick which one after 2. convert 3d problems to 2d ones - get it to draw streamlines describing the geometry, rather than trying to look at the whole thing in 3d
fable was a fair bit better at working in 3d than opus is. well, opus mostly isnt
I've primarily been testing it by building out my AI tool chaz into an Eidetica-native AI Agent framework for decentralized Agent sessions. It's working surprisingly well, it maps pretty well onto the storage model and it's uncovering issues with Eidetica I need to fix (which was always my primary reason for building it anyways). https://github.com/arcuru/chaz
Separately I'm building OptiMap, a SIMD-accelerated hashmap repo that explores the design space for hashmaps and benchmarks different approaches. This is mostly for my own learning but I'll eventually turn into a blog post. https://github.com/arcuru/optimap
This was very much a passion project and an idea I’ve wanted to see alive for decades, and also let me explore some tech I wanted to get deeper on. I’m bullish on the the tighter integration of CPUs, GPU style cores, and shared memory. Our game, LocoMo, relies heavily of GPU processing of entities under the hood.
You can see me do a walkthrough of the current state of the game here: https://youtu.be/NbB0DCX8Pis?is=vGEw5oTMu_W9f-zT
I'm currently working on modeling energy, climate and new policies like universal basic income
After 1.5 years of development and two exhausting pivots, I’m incredibly happy to finally have our v1 live!
While most of the HR tech is rushing to use black-box AI, I built the exact opposite. It's a transparent, math-driven fitness engine. It extracts objective data from CVs and calculates how well applicants match requirements, letting you see the reasoning behind why someone scored an X%.
If anyone here builds in the HR space or regularly hires engineers, I would absolutely love your feedback or a roast of the landing page.
PS This is a project of immense importance for me, I've been working on for past ~2 years, I'd appreciate to know why this comment is flagged.

We also teach kids visual scripting in Overcooked 2!, allowing kids to code their way through the levels of an existing much beloved game:
I'm running an in school pilot this week (Lunch time school club).
The tech stack for the main product is honestly pretty intense at this point with full multiplayer support, offline play, transitioning from client authoritative to joining a remote server. Built atop GodotJS, TypeScript bindings for Godot, which I maintain. Huge monorepo with over a million lines (yes, I'm aware that's NOT a good thing), and GodotJS itself is not included in that.
Then, I will slap an ESP32 & z-wave on it :D secretly to feed my Home Assistant. :D
We try to create pieces that stand on their own aesthetically but have a hidden meaning. We currently have two styles: lambda calculus based pieces (we depict the lambda/Tromp diagram) where we have Y-Combinator earrings (well, strictly speaking they are one beta reduction away from Y-combinator. Aesthetic oblige) and a pendant depicting a lambda expression computing Graham's number. The other style is quantum computing circuits, based on quantum computing research my brother (a physics professor) is doing: a pendant that is actually a non-local controlled-NOT gate.
I wrote a tiny DSL to describe the jewelry pieces, and an interpreter to produce CAD files. We then either 3D print them or have them produced by lost-wax.
We are 200% out of our comfort zone (and love it): I know nothing of front end dev, payments, or anything like that. The diamond district in New York is a neighborhood we normally actively avoid, but if you are forced to go there it is fascinating (people examining diamonds on the corner of the street, others in fur coats in summer straight out of a mafia movie...), and especial marketing. Jewelry is a completely saturated business (luckily we are not doing this to pay the rent); we think we have a unique angle, but we are still figuring out the target audience (if there is one).

We're a collaborative canvas + context engine for all the code and docs in your company, with a zoomable UI + CLI , where you can collaborate with your co-workers and agents.
We map technical debt, agent readiness, code complexity, security scanning, bus factor and more, so you can easily see how all the software in your company runs.
One of the most complex things is our incremental git blame engine built on top of GitOxide, as our backend is fully built on Rust. Our frontend is built on PixiJS so you can explore at gaming speed with 60Hz refresh rates.
Recently we sponsored Rust Week in Europe and a hundred or so developers tried our mini-game which is GeoGuessr for code, and got rave reviews. Future is looking bright!
Another project is https://www.beeldplek.nl, a timelapse platform powered by community photos. The idea is to place a mount and QR code at fixed viewpoints around the neighbourhood. People scan, photograph the view, optionally add their name, and submit. The infrastructure is up and running but getting the permit to place the mount has been a slow process so far.
Everyone is working on personal agents but their identity model is wrong. They act as you, risk your reputation, your data and more. Nym is a personal agent that has (and can make) all of its own accounts and only gets selective read only access to yours.
The goal is to make reliable agents that are able to operate safely in the world to help you do what you want, without exposing your accounts and personal identity to potential harms.
For instance nyms have their own e-mail addresses at nym-mail.com, you can CC them on chains and they can only respond to people on that chain with a lease of 5 days, or permanently for people you specifically add.
The thing Im most proud of though is just the viewer, its designed to just open all the images and videos in a folder, and then there is no UI except a right click context menu, the list is a grid or a masonry layout that uses 100% of the space for the images/video so you can just navigate them. It adds anything you open to a local sqlite db so you can tag things if you want optionally. Also control modes that make sense for either a mouse or a laptop trackpad.
My wife and I continue to work on Uruky [1], a simpler Kagi alternative, based in the EU.
Last month we launched image search (got out of beta this month), added our own index and crawler (via Uruky Site Search [2]), and reached 100 monthly active accounts (we’ve passed 150 now)! You can also see a privacy-focused independent blogger wrote about us [3]!!
You can check out the main differences between Uruky and Kagi, DuckDuckGo, SearXNG, etc. in the footer (right side), but one huge difference is that with Uruky, after being a paying customer for 12 months, you can download a copy of the source code (licensed as BUSL into AGPLv3 in 2 years — a suggestion made here in HN)!
You can also now get a free trial for 2 hours when you signup if you pass a proof-of-work captcha (another suggestion made here on HN, and it uses a local Altcha).
Our main challenge continues to be discoverability and outreach because we want to do it ethically. Ideas are welcome! We’ve been sponsoring open source projects, open source maintainers, and indie, small-web, and privacy-related websites and applications.
Feature-wise, for June we’ve already added a ton of personalization and privacy-increasing features like URL rewrites, cash-by-mail payments, and anonymous vouchers! Upcoming is partnering with ProxyStore to sell vouchers (we’re currently in talks for this), so you can buy vouchers with XMR/Monero or other cryptocurrencies. Then we’ll be looking into increasing our own index, focused on indie/small web.
Thank you for your kindness!

Most recently I was also probing people about how they conceptualize of the soul, making my own drawings, and asking others for drawings. If you have a few minutes I would also be interested in seeing how you would draw a soul, given pen and paper or equivalent materials. It often feels like for a lot of people the concept of the soul gets comingled with very confusing definitions.
There's a general problem where certain concepts become so overloaded that just disambiguating and clarifying what is meant becomes a challenge. I will note that if your first thought or question is whether the soul is even real, you might be confused about the definition or we might be referring to different concepts.

The service is composed of two open-source services, namely a Nextcloud app (Astrolabe) and backend (nextcloud-mcp-server). I use the service as an MCP server across a number of apps, and others use it primarily for semantic search over large numbers of documents.
Both are open source, and I'm working on a managed offering, completely based in the EU, for individuals/teams that already use Nextcloud and want to be able to use semantic search across some or all of their documents.
Essentially your data stays in Nextcloud, and the MCP server backend keeps a vectordb in sync to enable semantic queries over your content. The number of supported apps is growing, including:
- notes
- deck cards
- files
- news items (RSS feeds)
- cookbook recipes
- contacts & calendar
And I'm adding support for other apps as I go.

It provides digital loyalty cards for cafés (think of an electronic version of paper stamp cards). However with zero apps or customer signup, instead loyalty passes go straight into Apple and Google wallets.
It’s written in Ruby on Rails, which I’m enjoying learning. Still a bit rough around the edges, though it’s free for now so I’d be grateful for your feedback.
Thanks!
With this framework, I'm making (among other things) an early literacy app at https://letterspractice.com. My aim here is to hit >= 75% efficacy of Mentava at <= 1% of the price.
The app is near to production readiness, and I'd be happy to share access now with anyone who has verbal but non-literate kids. Be in touch if interested at colin at letterspractice.com
I checked my analytics recently and over 100 people have 100+ day streaks which kind of blows my mind!
I released custom player puzzles which has been a lot of fun! I’ve gotten dozens of submissions that I’m working through. People are submitting really clever and interesting puzzles. It’s fun to get to solve puzzles I didn’t make myself! There’s more I want to do here (featured puzzles, categories, etc.)
https://tiledwords.com/player-puzzles/page/1
I think I’ve also tracked down an issue that was causing the game to crash on older iPhones. I’m having playtesters run through it now and hope to deploy tomorrow. (Switching some positioning rules from CSS transforms to SVG coordinates)
I recently made some puzzle brainstorming tools using the Datamuse API which have been very helpful for brainstorming words related to a theme.
I’m starting to debate some monetized features. So far everything is free but it would be nice if my wife and I could dedicate more time to this. If I could get a few thousand dollars a month in subscriptions my wife could quit her job and focus more on puzzle creation and improving the game. If you play and have ideas for features you pay for I’d love to hear them!
By default, home page gives all models in the leaderboard, local and hosted. Search for models in the search box on the home page to find the top models by ranking, local(by size) and hosted (by price).
You can also do deep querying/sorting/searching filters of models in each of these three nodes (see the other tabs on top).
The next steps I am working on (would love feedback on this or anything else):
Phase 1: - Change clicks on home page model tiles in one column to search and show models filtered by that across Artificial Analysis, Ollama, OpenRouter - User specifies their system VRAM (unified/dedicated) and we automatically filter the home page with models that would fit on that RAM - in the three columns. - User specifies their price range (per MTok, max across input and output), and we similarly filter and rank by those models across all columns. - User specifies both (VRAM and price range), and we filter by both - leaderboard is union of local and hosted, local by VRAM and hosted by price range match.
Phase 2: Once I have this working, add a local desktop client that automatically reads user system and infers VRAM, renders app as webview. Considering pyside6 with Qt for this.
Phase 3: On desktop client, user can download and chat with the local models automatically based on leaderboard, optionally call hosted models, etc. Used primarily to evaluate and compare local vs hosted models for user's use cases. Also have some interesting alternate experiences to host within the local private app for user to interact with llms, agents, etc.
Do let me know whether this seems useful, or how I can make it more useful.
I know that there are already way too many markdown editors out there, but I think Kraa still offers something unique in this space (combination of minimal UI, plentiful features and some unique stuff like real-real-time chat).
Example of how easy it is to create a 'community' on Kraa: https://kraa.io/kraa/trees
Also - no AI integrations whatsoever.
There is a couple of semi-unique features; you can use your voice to dictate and generate events (feeding, sleep etc), you can also scan documents for growth measurements.
You don't need user account to use it, there is no subscription, the paid features are available behind a single purchase for lifetime. Still, like 90% of the features are available for free.
Also https://www.athilio.com/ privacy focused, highly customisable personal data analytics for your Oura, Garmin, Polar and Apple Health (ios port coming soon). Of course there is couple of AI features (with a single switch to turn all off), originally those were built just so I would learn how to embed agents in sw products myself. The whole app was originally built for personal use to fix missing features in the manufacturers own platforms: - Period over period comparisons (this month vs this month last year) - Comparing different metrics - Customizable graphs and other widgets - And of course combining the manufacturers metrics (oura for sleep, garmin for training etc etc) Existing solutions for this kind of software seem to have focus on social (strava), or coaching (training peaks), or they are just straight up crazy expensive with their paid tier (both tp and strava for example).
However what happens when you actually build and launch your agent is customers try it, do some initial runs and then go ask your manager to automate their use case. That is why I have been building https://toolscaled.com/ The goal being work through your problem space using agentic chat (like Claude Desktop) and then at the end convert it to a workflow. I am pretty close to launching and have been testing. If you're interested send me an email! (if you do sign up just fyi its still in beta so YMMV.
Most agents for durable workflows feel like toy examples. There is no "Codex" or "Claude Code" for, say, Temporal. So I'm building full-featured agent for these runtimes. Why? Because it makes long-running agents easier to operate and scale. Currently, all frontier harnesses need to run inside a guest OS and need a dedicated process, this is quite challenging to orchestrate and maintain.
To make it work, I had to figure out what part to run as deterministic workflow code, and what part to run as I/O or side effects (aka activities). I'm using a CAS for most of the payloads to maintain a lightweight footprint in the workflow code.
Currently supporting skills, MCP, prompts, a virtual file systems, and soon sandboxes.
- vibesurfer (https://github.com/frane/vibesurfer): a web browser for agents, without Chromium and CDP.
- agented (https://github.com/frane/agented): a “text editor” for agents, with undo, state, and LSP support.
- grpvn (https://github.com/frane/grpvn): a local chat for your local agent and LLMs.
Working on it has been a joy as ad-blocking tech touches so many aspects of software engineering - from systems and security to the intricacies of JS environments in browsers.
Benefits-wise, system-wide filtering disables ads and tracking not just in browsers, but desktop apps as well (which you'll be amazed how much they do). It's especially relevant now as Google is re-activating their efforts to hinder ad-blockers by killing Manifest V2 in Chrome. So much of tech is actively bleeding cash on AI right now, which means the efforts to screw over users will only accelerate. This makes something that sits at the network level indispensable imo.
It's Agentic QA + auto-provisioning sandboxes. Makes it plug and play to do code reviews that actually run your code instead of looking at it really hard. B/c the agents control all of the environment (ie running all of the services), it's able to collect runtime evidence about pretty much everything.
A couple open source examples: (Excalidraw) https://app.ito.ai/share/d1cb1475-fbe5-4c71-901b-409ba2aa6d6... & (n8n) https://app.ito.ai/share/bb7d73aa-fd08-482d-9938-87938e2a232...
edit: ah, yes also a broker controlled component manager that can start, stop, monitor services over the mentioned broker. This is the carpet that brings the room together.
I've been learning Basque and wanted to see a visualization of how the semantics move into different grammatical structures when translating between Basque and English/Spanish.
Under the hood it's using Stanford NLP to analyze the input then that analysis is given to Claude to generate the data structure needed to visualize the translation. It's really cool and maybe my favorite of the itch-scratchers I've built for myself over the years.
(Xingolak is Basque for "ribbons," a nod to the visualizing metaphor used in the UI.)

In the mean time, I’m working on a recipe application I’ve had countless false starts on. It’s centered around iterations and version on recipes, tracking changes to ingredients and directions to build new a new recipe from an existing one.
I’m starting with a go Bubbletea tui this time and I’ve been having a lot of fun with it compared to the React SPAs I’ve tried before. Not feeling compelled to style anything while working on the UX has been nice.

Hister is a full text indexer for websites and local files which automatically saves all the visited pages rendered by your browser. It provides offline result previews, a flexible web (and terminal) search interface & query language to explore saved content with ease or quickly fall back to traditional search engines.
I've been using it for a few months and as my local index is growing I can avoid opening google/duckduckgo/kagi - and even websites listed in results - more and more frequently.
The initial reception is overwhelmingly positive with already more than 30 contributors and hundreds of contributions - perhaps you can find it useful as well. (Or at least have some constructive criticism =])

It’s founded in Rust and incorporates a Deno runtime for extensions.
It’s headless now, via JSON-RPC. I’ve got the basics of a trait based system which will enable different frontends. At the moment, I’ve created an extension for `pi` which allows me to use that as the frontend.
The idea is to handle the whole thing, from meeting up at the start point, to multi-day trips, gas stops automagically planned in where you need them.
iOS only right now, Android support is planned but not a priority.
It's a bit of a passion project, as it solves a bit of a "personal" problem, I realize its niche.
I am also not a software engineer, but a DevOps engineer, so it's _entirely_ written by Claude in Swift + Swift UI, Typescript for the backend.
We are in the process of writing our own vertical stack with Go to control the machine instead of expensive and handicapped solutions from Siemens and etc.
My mother had a stroke a little over a month ago and I don’t live close by. I went in search of a wellness product that would let me know how she’s doing without her feeling I’m prying too much. I didn’t find one, so now I’m trying to build it. I’m also working on moving closer.
3 goals:
- change the hosting model used for WP without modifying WP.
- must scale to zero -- this is what enables very-low cost dev envs ($0.30/mo or so). All of the previous serverless attempts ive seen rely on RDS and/or other fixed-cost backend services, destroying one of the core advantages of serverless.
- Improve the dev tooling so it's more similar to what I get in other languages like node, go, etc. This includes MCP, CLI (for local and CI integration), etc.

The basic idea is to make Regex-scans so fast/cheap that "a metric" can be anything numeric in the text and "tracing" is useless because you can just log (and filter) more things. Turns out Regex at >200GB/s solves a lot of problems.
Metric cardinality explosion is immediately a non-issue, histograms have arbitrary resolution, and you can get from histogram pixels back to the underlying logs. And no need to instrument everything thrice for logs, metrics and traces.
The next big feature I'm aiming for is needle-in-a-haystack searches. The data block headers support it already, but the scan engine doesn't yet use it.
It's still early days, but I have a demo running. Unfortunately, it requires using a drop-in replacement library for CoreLocation. That alone may make it infeasible.
Providing sandboxes through a CLI. Guardrails such as egress control and secret injection and audit trails built in.

Also built out a .fits parser that uses rayon to decompress in parallel making it about 5x faster than cfitsio.
https://www.pedaldrivenprogramming.com/2026/06/8x-faster-fit...
It creates its own copy of your workdir for the agent to play in, and then you pull changes out ala git diffs or commits.
$ yoloai new mybugfix . -a # launch default sandbox in . and also attach the terminal
# Work with the agent...
$ yoloai diff mybugfix # See what it did
$ yoloai apply mybugfix # Bring out commits and/or uncommitted changes.
$ yoloai destroy mybugfix

In the UK alone, around 7.2 million people have asthma. Globally, WHO estimates that asthma affected 363 million people in 2023 and caused 442,000 deaths.
Peak Flow Meter Diary is not meant to detect every possible trigger. It will not warn you if someone suddenly sprays perfume nearby, or if a dusty bag is opened in the same room. But it could help with risks that can realistically be monitored ahead of time, such as weather, pollen, pollution, cold air, storms, and similar factors. The aim is to make daily tracking easier, show simple visual warnings and notifications, and make it easier to share useful records with clinicians.
I’m also trying to build it in a way that reduces paper, plastic, and electronic waste. If funding allows, I would like to make the project carbon-negative.
That is the bigger dream: to make a small example of how even modest start-up can think about environmental impact from the start, and use it as a practical showcase.
The pitch and full project explanation are here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/why5/peak-flow-meter-di...
Feedback welcome, especially from anyone with asthma, clinicians, carers, or people who have worked on health tracking tools. By now I know that my kickstarter is not going anywhere, so I would value any input was the idea that bad, or lack of marketing and accessing appropriate groups etc. I think this community has a lot of experience so I would like someone to share what could have I done better. Do not be shy to tell me if you think idea was waste of time.
And been working on a Mario-with-guns game concept: http://devz.cl/posts/what-if-mario-had-a-gun/

TUI based interface to search in your files very quickly. I created it from the need to have an equivalent of voidtool's Everything on Linux. It's a bit different though because it's keyboard based. You define zones where you search for files most of the time, and you can manage previous files history. Then there are actions you can perform on each file/folder.

As it's open source and built with a codebase that's easy for LLM's to work with, users can download it and tailor it to their business/operational requirements, although it also has out of the box 'industry best practice processes' so you don't have to reinvent the wheel and can only focus on writing the 10% custom stuff which differentiates your business.
As all the processes are flexible, you can also do proper 'continuous improvement' with your staff - something traditional WMS products struggle with.

Crossed over 100K MRR and I'm shooting for 2M ARR by the end of the year. Growing something in this stage is totally different from making it go from zero to one so it's an interesting learning curve. AI has also changed the calculus as well where it seems less crazy to try and do this sort of thing. Time will tell!

You play a duck in a small shared town. You pick a job, pay rent, post on a Twitter-style feed, vote in local elections. The simulation keeps running when you close the tab. No PvP, no loot boxes, no combat. Playtime is a few minutes a day by design.
The project is currently 100% vibe coded with codex\gpt-5.5, but after running some experiments, I'm working on replacing some of the vibe coded SQL engine with Apache Calcite.
It takes your instructions, write a versioned spec, then generates a hybrid workflow of code+LLM calls and protects it with tests/evals
The result is that the agents run much faster (90% of it is code), cheaper (LLM steps are scoped tightly and uses smaller models) and reliably (specs get turned into coded state-machine)
The idea is to make querying ClickHouse feel more like using a polished desktop with ClickHouse native features :

It let's developer do test planning and testing automation using their coding agents. The records of the testing sessions are then shareable and can be added to PRs, giving the reviewers visibility into how the feature works, what scenarios are handled and tested and what might have been missed.

Continuing development of online training for software testers, with a heavy emphasis on AI, since that’s where the demand is.

- A hand-crafted browser game-engine and game for the engine, with things like determinism at the core. I will be launching soon and can't talk too much about it yet because its quite novel. It actually has quite a few novel ideas within. Very minimal usage of AI in this project, I've been working on it for ~6 years now. A bit toooo long.
- A pure slop-crafted browser extension, because I paid for claude code Fable and it got rug-pulled so I am burning my tokens on a 100% slop project just to see what hands-off coding is actually like. A slight distraction from project 1 I do when I'm feeling a bit burnt out. Super fun so far proc-gen type stuff. Derivative

In the last month or so I added a few nifty features:
- Auto-scan functionality: Instead of having to click on cards to discover what they are, I can now do whole-frame detection on an interval (configurable), so players can mouse over the webcam stream of another player and automatically see what the actual card is. Super helpful for deciding who to attack and makes turns quicker!
- Card view is now grouped by player, since auto-detection will populate a lot of cards during the course of a game.
- Switch the video stream to Livekit from my homebrew version. Players were having video trouble and I hope Livekit is good enough so solve that problem.
Next up: I really want to build a community around this, and I'm struggling on getting the word out to people / having them try it out. I've done some SEO and word of mouth advertising, but haven't had much luck. I feel like I need to switch directions a bit. I'm a developer by trade, so this is wholly new to me.

On top of that, it's lead me down the rabbit hole of a 1995 (limited) theatrical movie called Mr. Payback, which may have only ever existed on 50 sets of laserdiscs distributed to those theaters. I'm hoping to track down a copy of it... if anyone had any clues on that one, I'd love to hear them. I'd purchase a Domesday Dupe device and dump it. But it may be a genuine lost movie.
CRM with agent baked in that can properly do stuff. No idea why attio/twenty are soooo bad at this. It's a table. getcrme.com / https://github.com/ChristianSch/crme
and gargoyle, an activitypub server with a (theoretically mastodon compatible UI) https://github.com/myfedi/gargoyle. Was annoyed at the homogenous fediverse dev teams out there that don't want their precious service federate with others. I want more federation (tested it with bookwyrms and lemmy for now. Mastodon/GTS also working ofc) and a pretty UI and not waste time with weird identity politics. You do you. I want an open fediverse, not a filter bubble. And GTS was too hard to hack on.
i've massively improved a bunch of things like the AI filter, which now gives you the option of filtering out github repos with AI authorship.
Also improved comments, which I'm serving through my own backend which has made loading of comments super fast, and it's going to be the foundation for some really great other features coming soon.
Soon: HN feature parity via browser extension and sync'd accounts.
A very simple idea: when you eat more than your maintenance calories, you gain weight; when you eat less than your maintenance calories, you lose weight.
By using an algorithm, we can accurately figure out your maintenance calories more accurately than traditional regression based formulas like katch mc ardle.
It's way more accurate than calorie burn tracking devices like fitness bands and watches. (garmin/apple watch etc...)
MacroCodex helps you spot dips in maintenance calories from metabolic adaptation, then auto adjusts your calorie target and macros so your plan stays aligned with your real maintenance calories (TDEE).
It's very useful to those who find it hard to gain or lose weight.
it's a completely free app, no paywall, no unnecessary data collection.

For example, I was inspired by the activeness of typelit.io when reading - typing out an entire book helped keep my mind from wandering when reading. But typing the whole book is too tedious. I wrote a few scripts to mirror the words on an epub, which does help with focus but isn't quite good enough.
My current epub reader software I use requires you to press a button to reveal the next word. This has dramatically improved my reading comprehension, prevents inadvertent skimming, and keeps my mind from wandering.
I'm still experimenting but for those who have ADHD or are borderline ADHD, it's quite a revelation - I can finally read without my mind wandering.
