Show HN: Shoebox Plus Organizer – search, sort, and filter your Ancestry Shoeboxhttps://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/shoebox-plus-organizer/ncmfpkikgbnacbiipnbnfdohjpbgjjkhAs a genealogist for nearly two decades, including a stint as a Research Manager for Ancestry's research arm, AncestryProGenealogists, I have heard colleagues and clients alike complain about the "Shoebox," an Ancestry record bookmarking tool, lacking a mechanism to search, sort, and filter content. Once you've saved a few hundred documents, you must endure an endless paginated scroll, 25 records at a time.My solution: Shoebox Plus Organizer — a Manifest V3 Chrome extension that loads every page of your Shoebox in the background, then provides live full-text search, date sorting, and record-type filtering, all client-side over the DOM that's already rendered on the page.Everything runs on-device. No servers, no external API calls, no analytics. There's nowhere for the data to go. It doesn't scrape or automate faster than a human clicking through pages. Shoebox Plus Organizer reformats what's already loaded. Works across all 11 international Ancestry sites (.com, .co.uk, .ca, .com.au, .

Robotics development made dead simple (open source)https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49058956Hey everyone,My team and I have been working hard on this project: https://peppy.botIt's a direct replacement for ROS 2. We already have the OpenArm robot (https://openarm.dev) working on the platform, both v1.0 and v2.0, plus Isaac Sim and MuJoCo integration.If you're in a hurry, head over to https://docs.peppy.bot/quickstart/ and get started in 5min.Our long term vision is to allow anyone (even non-devs) to go from a prompt to real humanoid robot actions, first in simulation, then on the physical robot.Happy to answer any question.

Show HN: Production duplex speech model for revenue callshttps://metavoice.io/Hi, HN, we’re building Mia & Leo: AI personalities backed by purpose-built duplex speech models for revenue calls.Teams building real-world agents told us that more than 40% of callers hang up within the first 30 seconds. On a revenue call, that meant a lost booking, an unpaid balance, a cold lead, or a customer who does not come back.This happens because humans interrupt, correct dates, pause halfway through a sentence, or speak over someone in the background. The agent misses it, talks over them, or loses the thread.That’s because of how the current voice systems work. They sequentially listen, stop, think, and then speak. The conversation is actually a walkie-talkie exchange.So, we’re proud to introduce our first iteration of Mia & Leo who keep listening while they speak. They can handle interruptions, overlapping speech, corrections, and background voices without breaking the conversation.They are also built for production. Developers get control over agent behaviour, visibility in

Establishing Crew Exposure Limits of Martian Dusthttps://www.nasa.gov/general/establishing-crew-exposure-limits-of-martian-dust/Background Human exploration of Mars will expose crews to a persistent, fine particulate environment whose physicochemical properties and health implications remain only partly understood. Because no samples of authentic Martian airborne dust have been returned to Earth, NASA must rely on lunar dust toxicology, Martian regolith simulants, and extensive rover/lander geochemical and mineralogical datasets to […]

AI Gets Trapped in a Circular Loop on Climate Sciencehttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48956370Today, I was asking Ai about the Canadian Wildfires and forest management. Instantly, the ai resorted to following the common narrative, and pushed macro human-caused climate change as an “objective fact.” I wanted to push back on the logic of this, because this narrative goes against core principles of scientific transparency. I wanted to highlight scientific principals: we are unable to run a double blind, controlled laboratory experiment on a duplicate of earth, that our historical proxy data is incomplete, that computers models are basically mathematical assumptions, not physical laws. This time the ai model abandoned the canned scripts, and completely broke character admitting that framing a predictive theory as an absolute “fact” for the masses is an ethical failure and it damages scientific transparency. Here is exactly where the turning point of the conversation that caused the models logic to completely collapse “ User: if science cant claim something is a definitive fact then

How Google decided to Destroy its Search Monopolyhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48945074This is a bit of a rant, yet it's one I think is rightly deserved.Over the last several months, Google has exploded with:* extreme delays in rendering search results* popups of captcha + prove you're human, for simple searches* extreme delays in doing anything after hitting enter on searchInstead of taking 100ms or less to return search results, it now takes 5+ seconds, 10+ seconds sometimes. Often with a captcha in between.This 100% isn't me. I've noticed these changes, discussed with others, and it's happening to people across a wide swath of industry, and situations. Co-workers at home. Elderly parents. People at workplaces. The list goes on.This is worst at night, and of course that's when I tend to work the most. It's so bad, that once I see that first captcha, I just switch to Bing. Yes, Bing. Kagi works, but from where I sit its results have been sliding and slipping, sadly. I don't know what they've been focusing on at Kagi recently, but it's not what it once was. Likely, relia

Show HN: Pokayoke – turn code conventions into checks for agentshttps://pokayoke.codesHey HN,Something I've been tinkering with in the background is a system to manage the "messy-middle" of TypeScript toolchains. Quite often, when I'm using Biome or any of the other linter / formatters, there will be repo conventions that I want to enforce (especially with AI agents), but which aren't supported by them, such as:- Enforcing lines-of-code limits in modules - Never using custom TailWind colors - Only using lowercase underscores in filenamesLike, this is quite "random" but also bread-and-butter stuff that it's easy to think or talk about when you're working by yourself or with a few other human teammates, but I've found that agents consistently miss these conventions if I put them in an AGENTS.md file for example.I wanted to make my esoteric repo conventions less stochastic, and more deterministic. I realised that agents are adept at writing the kind of code needed to run arbitrary checks on the TypeScript AST or workspace environment -- the kind of code that is cumbersome

Ask HN: How has the internet devolved in recent years?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48866959I'll start with 10:1. "Verifying you are human" delays/redirects2. Invasive "Sign in with Google[1]" prompts on every website, often taking over the UI3. Phone number based identity so when you change your number you lose your entire savings account and social media and all work access and your whole life is basically F-CKED except your romantic life which is very much NOT F-CKED since nobody knows your number.Never change your number.4. "You will own nothing" gaming where games you thought you owned get yoinked away at the leisure dare I say the PLEASURE of these neocorporate ingrates who want to de-fun (and defund) every lived experience!5. You can join any time you want but you can never delete. Livin it up at the Hotel Social Media. What a nice surprise, livin' someone else's life!6. You have been banished!7.

Show HN: Sipp – Run small local LLMs in browser 3x fasterhttps://www.sipp.shHi HN! Sipp is an open-source AI inference library for running local models in browsers with up to 3x faster decode speeds than alternative libraries.My background is in HCI (human-computer interaction) and graphics programming. Me along with my co-founder have been experimenting and thinking a lot about what the next user experience will look like when tokens are commodified to the point of being essentially “free.” A motivation for us was to try to move beyond the chat app and information retrieval use cases that are dominant now, and figure out how AI could instead act as a continuous and silent hand that helps the user indirectly, subtly monitoring their intent and dynamically generating or shifting the UI to meet their needs.In our explorations, we ran into two pain points: 1) when running AI in the browser, performance wasn’t good enough for real-time applications, and model loading and caching were issues; 2) when trying to run locally on desktop, there weren’t any good solution
