WNBA icons say the discourse and scrutiny around the league are part of the growing pains of successhttps://sports.yahoo.com/articles/wnba-icons-discourse-scrutiny-around-154637849.htmlDuring this Hall of Fame weekend, nearly everyone would like the attention to be on basketball, but it's difficult to ignore the conversations that are swirling around the WNBA — especially with some of the league's greatest icons being enshrined. The ongoing vitriol centered around race, gender and sexuality makes for daily headlines. Hall of Famer Dawn Staley, who is getting inducted again Sat...Aug 15, 2026 3:46 PM

OpenAI updates its Privacy Policy to include adshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49308738I got this email:Hi _____,We’re rolling out ads in ChatGPT and we’re updating our Privacy Policy to include information about how ads work and how you can control your experience.What’s changingAds may appear on Free and Go plans beginning later this month. Plus, Pro, Enterprise, Business and Education plans do not have ads. Ad-free options remain available.To begin, ads will not be personalised. We select them using the current topic of your ChatGPT conversation and limited contextual information, such as your general location and device type. We do not use your past chats or memories to select these ads.Before we begin to personalise ads, we will first ask you to choose whether you would like to see more relevant and personalised ads. If you choose to participate, you’ll get relevant and personalised ads using information that stays only on ChatGPT, such as ads you've interacted with, or context from your chats. You will be able to manage ad personalisation in settings.For ads shown Aug 15, 2026 8:09 AM

An Idea for a New Form of Mediahttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49307573Have email conversations in Gmail, (& make sure to delete the three dots at the bottom of every email draft, because if you don't, they will expand after 50 or 100 or so emails and take up whole pages.)Then download these emails as PDFs.Then share them on a Wordpress with commenting enabled.I think this is a good alternative to podcasting. People think better reading & writing instead of listening & speaking, & you can do things like share images & links which you can't do in an audio or video podcast.Aug 15, 2026 4:13 AM

Show HN: Captain, AI Travel Agenthttps://www.moonlight.ng/captain/I’m a software designer from Lagos exploring conversational interfaces and frameworks for building agents. I made Captain to help with everyday travel planning. It can explore an itinerary, check live flight prices, or watch for the right time to book. Captain is a Telegram bot powered by a generalist model (anthropic/claude-sonnet-5), with specialist models handling workflows such as trip interpretation and voice transcription. It also includes a visual workspace where users can review the agent’s work and directly manipulate their travel information. I'm building the agent to explore how conversation, tools, durable workflows, and direct manipulation can come together in one coherent product.Aug 14, 2026 6:25 PM

Show HN: Home search that chats, reads the photos, and est. monthly costshttps://app.ag3nt.homesAs a home buyer, I got frustrated with how salesy and unusable many of the online home search portals had become, especially when it came to things like finding homes in proximity to certain places or simply finding homes underneath a monthly price. I built ag3nt.homes to solve that, no sign-up required, it's anonymous by default, and it let's you find homes the way you think: through conversation, observation, and financial parameters.We are regionally limited right now until we raise (listing syndication is expensive!) but have listings from Philadelphia down the coastline to Norfolk, parts of North Carolina, Georgia, most of Florida, Colorado Springs, and SoCal (I'm a Marine Vet so I've been rolling this out to the military community first, hence the scattered coverage).Aug 14, 2026 1:10 PM

Forms did five things. Natural language kept onehttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49271950A form did five things at once: judged the condition, picked which form to open, took the values, carried where each value came from, and validated the required fields.Natural language kept the third one and gave the rest to the model. Nobody wrote down which ones went missing.LLMs were trained by filling in blanks. Now that we've moved from conversation to action, we tell them not to fill in blanks.But nobody has handed them a list of what they aren't allowed to infer, or shown them how to fill a blank without inferring.Here's an attempt at that list and that method.https://github.com/Jang-woo-AnnaSoft/execution-state-preflight/Aug 12, 2026 1:16 PM

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

Launch HN: Keet (YC S24) – An app to create video courses on anythinghttps://www.trykeet.com/Hi HN! We’re Zack and Tommy the Co-Founders of Keet (https://trykeet.com). We are building a mobile app that generates courses on any topic, with short videos for explanation and games for reinforcement. Courses mirror a real curriculum to help you learn over an extended period of time.Tommy and I met in linear algebra class in college and spent the next 4 years taking classes together. Our friendship was formed around learning new things. In school, someone else designs the curriculum, delivers the content, and writes the assessments. All you have to do is show up. Learning without this structure was frustrating, and there was a lot of friction to get started.Zack has a coffee obsession and struggled to assemble youtube videos, conversations with ChatGPT, and the books he was reading into a coherent understanding of all of the different variables that go into brewing a cup of coffee. His attempts gave him the freedom to follow his curiosity, but the instructional design was difficult.Aug 11, 2026 2:48 PM

Show HN: An "Evidence Loop" for steering the agents what to buildhttps://www.dipio.aiFellow builders, my name is Julian - I'm a PhD candidate in Behavioural Science at LSE, where I focus on Human-AI Alignment (specifically the field of Machine Psychology), and we built Dipio AI around a problem I think is becoming more important as coding agents get better: implementation is getting dramatically cheaper, but knowing what is worth building isn't.Dipio applies behavioral science methodologies to AI-led user research, turning evidence from user conversations and behavior into agent-native specs (e.g., spec-kit, etc.). Your coding harness can access them directly through Dipio MCP, or through the platform as an evidence-backed, ready-to-implement feature specs.I wrote more about the idea we call the “Evidence Loop” here: https://www.dipio.ai/blog/evidence-loopI’d particularly appreciate criticism of the underlying thesis: are we solving the "how to build" problem much faster than the "what to build" problem? Also, any criticism in general is welcomed, don't hold yourself -Aug 11, 2026 6:37 AM

Show HN: Keen Code – an agentic-engineered coding agenthttps://github.com/mochow13/keen-codeHello community!I am here to share a coding agent I have built solo from scratch using agentic engineering. Written in Go, it's a proper coding agent, has features you expect from a useful agent for your daily work, with a minimal and simple UI.I have named it Keen Code. The repo is here: https://github.com/mochow13/keen-codeEven though it started as an experiment, it is now a full-fledged coding agent for real software engineering work. It supports multiple providers, skills, MCPs, multi-agent orchestration through subagents, automatic compaction, etc.I have been using it for real production-grade work myself, and also for developing itself.Notably, I have worked on two separate ideas in this coding agent:1. Turn MemoryIn a multi-turn conversation, tool outputs are removed, only tool call traces are retained. Within a single agent loop, agent sees full tool results but in the next turn, it doesn't see the tool results anymore.The greatest benefit of this approach is that a lot of toolAug 10, 2026 9:47 PM

Show HN: Voice driven murder mystery, Interview AI suspects with your voicehttps://www.whodunnitai.com/Hey HN!I'm excited to show off this really fun project I put together. I originally built this project 2-3 years ago, AI was already booming at the time, however voice AI agents were still very early. I loved my proof of concept at the time, but wasn't quite happy with it.I recently had the desire to check out the tech again, and know many of you will be interested.Interviews are speech to speech with OpenAI's gpt-realtime-2.1 over WebRTC. This model is... expensive, and because of that, I have to add some amount of restrictions, conversations are tied to a authenticated Clerk user id. I have also added a 30 minute timer because well, I really don't want to go broke while I sleep tonight.Each suspect has a tool they call when you make a direct accusation. It captures who you accused and a faithful list of the evidence you actually stated.A separate gpt-5-mini judge then decides which of the case's required evidence facts you genuinely presented.

I created it back in 2003, and I never imagined it could simply just....disappear. Losing it means losing over 20 years of my life. Emails from family members who are no longer here, conversations with old friends, school notes, countless photos, my childhood thoughts, hopes, and dreams. So many memories that existed nowhere else. What hurts even more is that I never received any warning that the account was going to be deleted. If I had known, I would have backed everything up.

Slack is still open all day and the pings keep arriving.We believe engineering problem solving and product work is exactly the kind of work that requires depth and focus.So, we built the opposite! Speed and zero friction: keyboard-first, no loading states between you and the thought you are trying to send. Structure by default: public channels only, and conversations can be prioritized, assigned, resolved and closed, so a thread has a state and an outcome, not just a scroll position.
