Show HN: Bounded GenAI metrics from Otel traces with O raw promptshttps://github.com/llm-measurement/otelcol-genai-sketchesHi friends,Author here. Like to present a project I've been working on - Otelcol-GenAI-Sketches, a Otel connector that works on genai/agent traces, and summarizes them (via sketches), to produce:() exact request counts/totals for tokens; () distinct users/prompts (estimates) (*) 'heavy' items in terms of tokensWhy does this exist: I'm a data scientist by profession, and needed to look at Otel traces, but soon ran into cardinality and portability issues, along with privacy issues (raw prompts being transported elsewhere, like for analysis in a notebook env is a no-no). I wrote a sketchlib first (llm-sketchkit) and then the connector for Otel collectors.To try it out, just:(i) git clone https://github.com/llm-measurement/otelcol-genai-sketches.gi... (ii) cd otelcol-genai-sketches (iii) export GENAI_SKETCH_SECRET="$(openssl rand -hex 32)" (iv) make example-up (v) profit!This would start a demo app that includes a Otel collector, prometheus server/db and a grafana dashboard.The repos contaAug 21, 2026 3:37 PM

Millions in Cuba face water shortages as oil crisis deepenshttps://www.france24.com/en/video/20260821-millions-in-cuba-face-water-shortages-as-oil-crisis-deepensIn Cuba, seven months of an effective oil blockade imposed by the Trump administration has not only increased power outages but is also leaving more and more people without running water. In August 2025, 2.6 million people on the Caribbean island nation had difficulty accessing water, according to the Cuban Institute of Hydraulic Resources. Today, that figure has risen to 3.5 million – around a third of the population. FRANCE 24’s Ed Augustin reports on the health risks rippling through the island.Aug 21, 2026 3:28 PM

Show HN: A desktop fly drawn to the scent of vibecodehttps://github.com/kulikov0/desktop-vibe-flyIt is a fork of https://github.com/DenisSergeevitch/desktop-fly, but with an important update.Now the fly can pick up the scent of the codebase with its neurons and fly straight to the source code of your B2B AI SaaS startup. It has learned to scan its surroundings for agent markers: AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, .cursor/rules, .kiro/steering, and forty others. Anything on the screen that points to these markers becomes a source of the scent - an editor window with an open project, a line in Finder, or a desktop icon. An open project reeks the strongest, while a closed icon or nested folders give off a fainter odor.Aug 21, 2026 3:19 PM

Show HN: Tosynch – reconnect with your friends and meet oftenhttps://tosynch.comI built this app to solve problem I had, and perhaps others too. I have been finding tough stay in touch with friends. Other than occasional hi/hellos, there is lack of meaningful interactions ongoing basis. Tosynch helps with connecting with existing friends, without calendar setup. It does one thing only and focuses on that. There is no hidden agenda of selling personal data for ads, nor any scheme around increasing likes. There is no discovery mechanism, and no public profiles. If we want to reduce our usage of phones and devices, we don't need another app to helps us constrained. We want to create more opportunities to meet people we already know. Tosynch helps increase those opportunities. It nudges after a chosen period, to reconnect and meet. Feedback appreciated.Aug 21, 2026 3:10 PM
