Are you good at AI, or just using it?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49378057We’re working on a ladder for individual AI proficiency and would love feedback on both the levels and the definitions.L0 New: brand new to AI, or has not yet used it.L1 Chat: simple prompt-and-response use. Work is serial: ask, wait for an answer, then ask again.L2 Contextual Work: gives AI relevant documents, data, or workspace context so it can work within the actual artifact and produce a more useful result.L3 Orchestrate: coordinates multiple agents or AI roles across independent workstreams, with work that may review, challenge, compare, or build on other work. This is not just for engineering.L4 Automate: creates workflows that are triggered by business events and run without someone sitting at a laptop directing each step.L5 Loop: feeds the output of those workflows back into shared knowledge or a company brain, so future workflows improve over time.A few things I’d love your perspective on:Are these the right levels? Are any of the names unclear or overlapping? What observable

Show HN: Skilldocs – Figma for Markdownhttps://skilldocs.dev/tourI got fed up with Notion, so I built my dream document editor. It's all markdowned so it's easy to view skills or other agent-related documents. It's got the collaboration features I love from Figma (shared cursory and the ability to follow) and Google Docs (comments, realtime editing). Then you can export the diff and comments to an agent. I've been really liking it for talking over skill documents live on a call. I'm curious if this resonates with other people. More generally, I feel like notion is less and less relevant in an age where documents have a very different purpose and Markdown is king. Curious what people think!

Ask HN: One SSH key or many SSH keys?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49377427Is there any benefit to using multiple, separate keys to authenticate to different resources versus only using a single SSH key?On one hand, I've heard that an SSH key is supposed to represent an identity, so using your "identity" everywhere makes sense.On the other hand, I've heard that keeping SSH keys separate is important in the same way using separate passwords for different resources is important.What do you all think?

Ask HN: How to engage users in an open source project and when to stop?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49377336I have been working on an OS project for years now, on and off, taking it back up for the last few months and giving it a good boost lately with AI. It has a super niche user base in quantitative finance.I really enjoy working on it, and although I get contacted every now and then by people who are using it or are interested in using it, and those are really interesting users, I always think I am wasting my time. It has been 8 years now since I started.I guess my questions are: is it worth it? And I know this question has two clear paths, the personal and the practical one, but I would like to hear from both. How can I know when to stop? If my audience is maybe in the order of two thousand potential users worldwide, how do I validate the idea? I have posted on Reddit and HN multiple times, tried LinkedIn, and that leads me to a handful of super interesting contacts, but I don't know if it is enough to keep going.

Show HN: Building Table Canon, an AI Campaign Memory Engine for TTRPGshttps://tablecanon.app/Hey HN! I built Table Canon to solve a problem my playgroup kept running into: 3-4 hour tabletop gaming sessions leave behind massive audio recordings, but standard meeting note-takers treat every session as an isolated island, butcher fantasy terms, and don't know who is speaking.I wanted an engine that tracks long-term state across months of games, so I built a pipeline to extract entity updates, open quest hooks, and character promises across sessions.The Tech Stack:* Transcription: whisper-large-v3-turbo * Diarization: pyannote for speaker embeddings & voice profile matching Extraction & Memory: OpenAI API with Structured Outputs (JSON Schema enforcement for state updates) * TTS & Audio Recaps: Kokoro / Chatterbox Turbo Music Generation: ACE-Step-v1.5-XL-Turbo for rendering session summaries into lyrics/balladsA Few Engineering Lessons & Challenges:* State Delta Extraction vs. Context Explosions: Feeding 20 prior session transcripts into context windows quickly becomes cost-prohibi

Show HN: The First 3D Map of North America's Underground Geologyhttps://drillerdb.com/undergroundOver the past year, we've been running OCR on over 13 million handwritten and typed well logs across North America. After that we standardized the unique terms used by drillers across America into one format, which we've based on the USGS's lithologic standards.Before this project, underground data was fragmented by state or county jurisdictions and had different standards for reporting and terminology. This is the first nationwide lithological grid ever made at this scale.Most regions have pretty good coverage. However, be aware some areas like the southeast of the US especially has some pretty significant gaps due to the reporting standards in those regions.We also have a research program! https://drillerdb.com/research

Show HN: Pond – lossless archive for agent sessions in your own S3https://github.com/tenequm/pondI wanted all of my sessions preserved in one S3 storage dump I could access from anywhere. I couldn't find anything that could store sessions from multiple machines in one remote S3 bucket without running a database service anywhere, make them available as an MCP for my agent, and efficiently search through them. pond was born out of this, and out of my necessity to stop being locked to my laptop. I'm convinced that the sessions we generate with agents are one of the most precious assets we have and it still feels so odd to me that we throw them away like we couldn't care less.With pond you just point it at an S3 bucket or a local directory. Under the hood is in-process Lance. It also supports safe concurrent writes, so I just collect all my sessions from all my local machines, remote VMs and telegram agent setups in one bucket dir. Right now that is 14,861 sessions, 2.83M messages, 10.6 GiB, from 8 tools (Claude Code, Codex, opencode, pi, Claude Desktop, oh-my-pi and a few more).The o
