It is expected to be the most "intense" El Nino in more than a century, the head of long-range forecasting at the UK's Met Office warned on Friday. Stacked on top of long-term human-caused climate change, the temporary jolt will offer a glimpse of the heat the world can expect by the late 2030s, experts say.Aug 21, 2026 2:28 PM

Show HN: Kandelo – a POSIX-compatible multi-process WASM kernel for the browserhttps://kandelo.dev/20260819-demo/Kandelo is an open-source, Wasm-based multi-process kernel that runs POSIX programs in browsers and Node.js.Kandelo is still experimental, but it already runs a substantial range of existing software.Do you have use cases for this?We are trying Kandelo as a new foundation for WordPress Playground which runs server-side WordPress entirely in the browser. Kandelo also looks promising as a sandbox for running agents in the the browser and on the command line. On the side, we've been playing with porting games and desktop environments and even compiling runnable programs within Kandelo.Yet it feels like there are many possibilities we haven't considered.How would you like to use something like this?Demos:Some notes: The demos have been tested in desktop browsers. Unfortunately, YMMV on mobile today. Some of the disk images are large (~50MB) and may take a while to boot initially.Main set, with Shell (bash, vim, nethack, and more), Nginx, PHP, WordPress, and Doom: https://kandelo.dev/202608Aug 20, 2026 6:25 PM

Offline RAG on iOS with Spatial Integrationhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49371913I'm the developer behind CartoType. I’ve been working on bridging local language models with offline mapping, and I have just put together a demo of a completely offline Spatial RAG pipeline running natively on an iPhone. The new system is named the CartoType Field Assistant. You can find the website at https://cartotype.comDemo (1m 19s): https://www.youtube.com/shorts/a8yQPn7_jyIUse cases: Any organisation with field technicians or emergency first responders needs complex procedural knowledge tied to physical locations ('assets') where they don't have guaranteed network connectivity. Examples include offshore wind farms, power distribution networks, railway infrastructure, mountain rescue, and military uses.For this demo I query the iPhone app in Airplane mode: "A hiker near Tuolumne Meadows has a dislocated shoulder.

Show HN: Mail client optimized for self-hosted email across multiple domainshttps://mainly.crnst8.com/As someone with a clean IP range and ADHD, I manage my inbox by splitting across a variety of accounts for a variety of domains. I’ve never really found a client that scratches all my itches, so I spent some time making one and it’s now become my daily driver.It’s optimised to be visually simple and highly configurable for things like colour, folders/subfolders, sorting and tweaking the search query function to better match what you search for often. There’s also some little nice-to-haves like a purpose-built PWA, bulk domain onboarding, MCP and dark mode.It’s fully self-hostable, open source and free of any AI bloat/VC fodder. Not trying to sell anything but rather make something un-shitified and simple to use, would love some feedback if you’ve given it a try! :~)Aug 20, 2026 1:55 AM
