Show HN: Lethe is a portable identity layer – user consentedhttps://lethe-ai.vercel.appDuring my mtech I constantly used to navigate across a bunch of AI apps—from Gamma AI for decks to ChatGPT for understanding and navigation to Cursor, Claude, or Deepseek for coding, reorganizing, and more, as when one or other plans expire or take time to reset. My biggest issue—I couldn't transfer all required context and understanding of the same when moving across different LLMs. This is where Lethe comes into use as a base layer for all of these, and it works in the way I want it, that is, the user wants it. You can just import your existing data from ChatGPT, Deepseek, Grok exports, docs, or read-only Gmail, or just say what you want. Lethe derives an understanding of your projects, decisions with reasoning (if visible/unpredictable on moods), goals, and preferences—with each claim paired to the quote it showed up on along with a constant updating confidence score. It's local first: raw conversations can never be stored at the server end; they're always derived from a pseudonymizAug 12, 2026 3:43 AM

Show HN: DisplayWave – open-source and simple tool for Mac display managementhttps://github.com/kah-ve/DisplayWaveA free display control tool for brightness, warmth, and more. Existing apps for handling external monitor controls for mac are either too narrow in focus or are paywalled. Also I found the paywalled ones to be more complicated and feature rich then needed. So I wanted to build something more tailored to the small feature-set I would ever need. Primarily my concern is:1. Ability to enable/disable external monitors with good UX on this (e.g. showing names of displays) 2. Very simple and easy to use brightness and warmth controls 3. Basic presets 4. Some shortcuts for caffeinate while keeping monitors off (experimental)I was surprised something like this didn't already exist. I think this use-case is more than enough for most people and doesn't need a paid app if you don't need anything more.A couple comparisons- MonitorControl (free): This is what I used previously. It's great for brightness control but that's about it. Very limited in features.- BetterDisplay (free/$22 Pro): Very featurAug 12, 2026 3:15 AM

Ask HN: Could DNA be represented as "an embedding" in an AI model?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49267234Where each Array element is a numerical value that corresponds to the order of TCAG chemicals on the crossbar of the helix of a DNA strand?Has anyone modeled many DNA strands in this way?If it was done, what kinds of problems could we solve using AI - assuming we could model any known DNA, and predict out generations?-----I guess there are at least a couple options:1) Model an entire DNA strand as 1 model, with each gene (section of DNA) being a vector. So you'd have, say, a C. elegans model. You could play with that species in an AI sandbox.2) Model all of DNA (the way we model all of language) to end up with a "DNA AI" that can produce any kind of strand (perhaps inventing genes that don't exist, but could). So here you have a biology sandbox, where you can invent perhaps new creatures, or predict out future states of humans, to test drugs and other things (I guess?)What do you think, what's possible?Aug 12, 2026 2:38 AM

Show HN: Kernelspace- interactive course on systems programming for LLM Servinghttps://kernelspace.naigap.com/Hi HN,*I* built kernelspace - a free and interactive course that takes a backend engineer (like me) with java/python experience to the systems level required to work on LLM serving at scale. (Mostly an attempt for me to understand what everyone's talking about lately and also an attempt at staying up to date to current tech - career wise).It has: 1. 68 Lessons across 9 tracks, with a rust-from-zero ramp. 2. 8 rust labs - BPE tokenizer, KV block manager, radix cache, batching scheduler, a toy executor 3. 9 simulators running in browser (wasm) - roofline model, KV cache pressure, continuous batching dynamics 4. Fleet week - a simulated prod serving fleetAll progresss is local - there is no server (it's served from github pages, repo here https://github.com/praveer13/kernelspace)Feedback appreciated, and contributions welcome. I want to make this a really good course for me (and everyone else like me).* (OK, I had sol and kimi on it for most part)Aug 12, 2026 1:20 AM

Show HN: Advect – autodiff for NumPy and Array API programshttps://yaugenst.github.io/advect/0.1.0/playground/I built Advect, an automatic differentiation library for scientific Python. It provides broad NumPy API coverage, follows the Python Array API standard, and works with ordinary Python functions.In addition to dynamic differentiation, Advect can stage a function into a reusable program that can be optimized, differentiated again, serialized, and loaded later. There is also some support for SciPy, xarray, and interoperability with other autodiff frameworks.The linked playground runs entirely in the browser through Pyodide, so you can try tracing and differentiating an expression without installing anything.The first public release is available with pip install advect.Source: https://github.com/yaugenst/advectAug 11, 2026 7:12 PM

Tell HN: Striking a Balance Between Stating Your Requirements and Griefershttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49261515The frontier models have become very capable, so that I'm able to give advanced algorithms and tasks for them to complete autonomously. These sometimes go over the heads of low-IQ bullies who dropped out of their computer science courses because they were too difficult, and went into a career in bullying programmers.I've noticed that when I make my intention and acceptance criteria very clear to the models, sometimes it's the only part the griefers understand, since the computer science portion goes over their heads. So they focus their bullying on just breaking the intention and final result, whatever is actually truly important.This puts programmers like me in the awkward position of either talking to the models without telling the models the final intention or reason, i.e. the acceptance criteria, or risk putting it in plain language so the model knows it, but then allowing a bully to fuck that one thing up because it's the only thing they understand, not understanding data structurAug 11, 2026 5:23 PM
