Show HN: I built a Claude Code plugin to query 10.6M earnings-call embeddingshttps://fn2.ai/claudeHi HN,I've been using LLMs for one-off market questions against a database of earnings transcripts since ~2025. In tech years that's a long time so as a Solo dev I built a platform around it and have been adding miscellaneous other financial tools and integrations. Backend infrastructure is super boring! PostgreSQL & ElasticSearch, with the data appropriately sharded and replicated across two regions.Some example requests:"What did NVIDIA say about data-center demand on its last call?""Brief me on NVDA, AMD and AVGO before each market open""Notify me when AAPL moves more than 5% in a day."The plugin is dependency-free Python and MIT licensed. The corpus, vector search and scheduled-agent service are hosted, so using them requires a free FN2 account. I’m particularly interested in whether people find the scheduled-research part useful, but the basic features are free with integrations for Claude Code, Hermes Agent, OpenClaw, etc. Thanks!Aug 14, 2026 10:09 PM

When housing is unaffordable, this artist’s device makes pedaling harderhttps://www.theverge.com/tech/980359/ground-truth-justin-blinder-housing-affordable-bike-pedalJustin Blinder had just been laid off when he first came up with the idea for Ground Truth. It was 2020, two weeks before covid lockdown went into effect, and the Brooklyn-based artist and technologist had no idea what the future would hold. He started working for the food delivery apps, and as he was riding his bike across the city, he began noticing the stark differences between neighborhoods.

Kakehashi Update: Running Apple Clang build and lowering overhead to 1.24xhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49299613Hello again HN!After 11 days, I'm back with an update about Kakehashi. I want to thank you for your support! Thank you for all your stars, comments. I didn't expect you to be so interested in the project.What's new:I managed to significantly accelerate the implementation process. Now, 7zip lags by just 1.24x compared to native Linux performance, and the Lua build differs literally by 1.5 to 2 seconds from a native launch. The Lua build fails to compile via kh run make due to Linux-specific flags, which mirrors its behavior on native macOS. However, if it is built using kh run gcc -- -Wall -O2 -DLUA_USE_MACOSX -std=c99 onelua.c -lreadline -o /tmp/lua-onelua, everything compiles, builds, and runs perfectly. Overall, I am currently actively working on the following binaries: git, clang, make, xcrun, otool, gcc, curl, 7zip, rm, ls, sh, csh, zsh, bash, and the Rust installation script. Please note that you currently need to manually port the /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin, and /usr/lib/zsh folders fAug 14, 2026 3:00 PM

My parrot ate my keyboardhttps://www.theverge.com/tech/978402/parrot-ate-keyboard-protectOne of the great joys in life is having pets. The unconditional love, the snuggles, the excitement they show when you get home - these things add an emotional fulfillment to daily existence that can't be achieved in another way. I think everyone's life would be better with a pet (or two) in their lives. It's an incredible experience. Except for those few times when it isn't.
