Show HN: Foundations of Music (FoM)Foundations of Music is an attempt to establish a conceptual and formal foundation for understanding music.Rather than declaring what music is, FoM shows where and how music becomes possible.It provides simple explanations to complex concepts like vibrato, glissando, and portamento to outsiders.It enables new vocabulary like jazzing, jazzing aroung, jazzing along, and jazz translation which are mind refreshing, at least to me.For a sample of translation (Turkish Folk to Blues) you may see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ml4pEk2hMM8Proposed perceptual fatigue concept can be found highly controversial, but I think it may be an inspiring food for thought.In the end, FoM is a work in progress to constitute a stable ground from which new musical questions can be meaningfully explored.

New Open Source from Non-Traditional BuilderLet me begin by saying that I am not a traditional builder with a traditional background. From the onset of this endeavor until today it has just been me, my laptop, and my ideas I learned how systems work through trial and error, and I built these platforms because after an exhaustive search I discovered a need. I am fully aware that a 54 year old fantasy novelist with no formal training creating one experimental platform, let alone three, in his kitchen, on a commercial grade Dell stretches credulity to the limits (or beyond). But I am hoping that my work speaks for itself. Although admittedly, it might speak to my insane bullheadedness and unwillingness to give up on an idea. So, if you are thinking I am delusional, I allow for that possibility. But I sure as hell hope not. With that said I have released three large software systems that I have been developing privately. These projects were built as a solo effort, outside institutional or commercial backing, and are now being made a

I spend the last 6 month Learning How to automate my boring Tasks with*I spent the last 6 months learning how to automate tasks using AI. Here's what I found out:**1. Not everything needs AI.* Sometimes a simple workflow tool like n8n is more than enough to get the job done.*2. The steps I thought were easy turned out to need AI the most.* A good example: sorting emails to find invoice requests. People don't write these emails the same way, so a basic rule can't catch them all. AI handles that much better.*3. Don't try to build everything from scratch.* Use the tools you already have and just connect them together. It's faster and smarter. What's a boring, manual task that's been eating up your time? I'll build it for free in exchange for feedback

Ask HN: AI productivity gains – do you fire devs or build better products?i was rolling my eyes at the hype, but reading about this is totally different from experiencing it. if you have any old repos out there - try it, you might actually be amazed.i'm not sure i buy the long-term "*90% productivity*" claims for complex, legacy enterprise systems, but for the boilerplate, libraries, build-tools, and refactoring? the gain is gigantic. all the time-consuming, nerve-wrecking stuff is mostly taken care of.you start off checking every diff like a hawk, expecting it to break things, but honestly, soon you see it's not necessary most of the time. you just keep your IDE open and feed the "analyze code" output back into it. in java, telling it to "add checkstyle, run mvn verify and repair" works well enough that you can actually go grab a coffee instead of fighting linter warnings.the theory is that what remains is just the logic and ideas. we'll see how that holds up when the architecture gets genuinely tangled. but for now, letting it branch off, create boilerplat

Skills are quietly becoming the unit of agent knowledgeIn the last few months agent skills went from a niche Claude Code feature to something every major runtime supports. Anthropic has an official skills repo. OpenAI shipped skills in Codex with a built-in skill-creator. Karpathy talks about "everything is skill issue" and describes writing skills as curricula for agents [1]. The format is converging: a folder with a SKILL.md, optional scripts, optional reference files.What changed is that the models got good enough to follow written instructions reliably. A skill is just a tested workflow in markdown that the agent reads and follows instead of improvising. You can also bundle scripts that the agent runs during the workflow, which covers what most people use lightweight MCP servers for, except the agent can read the script source and extend it.Karpathy talks about an "economy of agents" and says we should stop writing HTML docs for humans and start writing markdown docs for agents [1]. Anthropic just shipped a skill-creator that benchmark

Show HN: Daily Reflections – A private, zero-dependency, local-first PWA journalI’ve spent years with ideas fizzling out at the "which framework should I use?" stage. This week, I finally felt like I found a magic wand: I stopped overthinking and went back to the basics.I built Daily Reflections because I wanted a journaling space that was actually private—no accounts, no cloud, and no "SaaS-ification" of my personal thoughts.The Implementation:Vanilla Stack: 100% pure HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. No build step, no frameworks, no external libraries.Local-First: Everything lives in localStorage. 0% of your data is transmitted to a server.Data Portability: Since it's local-only, I added JSON backup/import and a monthly PDF export to ensure the user actually owns their data.Visualization: I used the Canvas API for mood trend charts and a GitHub-style consistency heatmap to keep the footprint tiny.Offline-First: It's a PWA with a service worker, so it works perfectly in airplane mode.The "Then vs. Now" Feature: I wanted to solve the "write and forget" problem.

Sexual Harassment by Japan Railways Staff and Japan's Accessibility BarriersHello, my name is Hiro. I am working on a concept a platform called “Lemurian Resonance,” which visualizes unfair experiences in daily life as case cards and compiles them into a database, while also helping to heal emotional wounds through AI. While working on this concept, I encountered a serious issue I would like to share.Last December, I used Japan Railways (JR). I am totally blind, so I requested assistance from a station employee. However, when I arrived, the employee stood so close that I could not step off the train. I asked him to step back, but he refused. When I tried to move around him, he placed his hand on my left chest to guide me. I identified this as sexual harassment, and he apologized.I wanted to believe it was accidental, but a sighted person later pointed out it might have been intentional.In March, I needed to use the same station again, but I felt unsafe. I tried contacting the railway company, but phone service had been discontinued. I then attempted to use an

Show HN: An open-source AI Scrum Team that lives natively in GitHub IssuesHi HN, I've been experimenting a lot with autonomous coding agents (like OpenClaw and various CLI tools), but I kept running into two major roadblocks when trying to use them for actual production work: Security & State: Most agents require running a persistent state on a local machine or VPS, often needing broad file system access. It's a security nightmare for enterprise code. Chaos: Generalist agents try to do everything at once (planning, coding, testing) in a single context window, which inevitably leads to hallucinations and broken dependencies. I wanted a system that mirrored how actual engineering teams work, so I built an open-source framework that runs entirely inside GitHub. How it works: I mapped out a multi-agent system (Scrum Master, Planner, Dev, QA Tester) using Anthropic's Claude, orchestrated entirely through GitHub Actions. You open an Issue with a feature request. The "Scrum Master" agent breaks it into a Kanban board. The "Planner" writes a feature issue with the i

Ask HN: Should we open our souls to AI? For better output?AI tools like ChatGPT aren't like other software. They produce better results, for certain tasks, the better they know you. SaaS has never been like this. Asana doesn't care who I am. Word doesn't work better if it understands my personality. Chrome might know every site I've visited but it doesn't care about how my brain works.AI is different, in many use cases. Sure for trivial tasks it's not a thing. But content creation, code generation, even how it talks to me (UK english, never use an emdash, sentence case and never praise me) - the more AI knows about me the better the output.I do a bit of writing, and yes I use AI to help me. Not this, don't worry. But let's explore the content use case. I created an identity.txt file. It's what I wish I had for every ghostwriting assignment in my 20's. It has a bit of profile, lots of tone and style, but also stories, sayings I use, phrases I've picked up. It has anecdotes from my life and work. highs and lows, wins and fails. I put my family

Show HN: Looseleaf – Python notebooks where each cell is a .py fileI wanted a notebook that worked like my editor, not the other way around.Jupyter is great but the .ipynb format has always bothered me. It's JSON with embedded code — git diffs are a mess, linters don't see it, and you can't just open a cell in your editor and have things work. There are tools that help (jupytext, nbstripout) but they all work around the format rather than replacing it.Looseleaf takes a different approach: a notebook is just a directory of .py files. Each file is a cell. They run in alphabetical order, so you use numbered prefixes (01_load.py, 02_train.py). One long-running Python process holds the shared namespace across all of them, so variables from cell 1 are available in cell 2 — same model as Jupyter, different storage.When a cell runs, output is written to a .output sidecar file (JSON with stdout, stderr, images, timing). The browser frontend shows it, but so can anything else that can read a file.A few things I find useful about this: edit cells in any editor —

Tell HN: H&R Block tax software installs a TLS backdoorJust a PSA for folks here in the US because tax season is coming up and some of you may be using H&R Block Business 2025. I discovered that the software installs a root CA named "WK ATX ServerHost 2024" (expiry 2049) into your local machine trusted root certificate store. They also helpfully include the private key to this certificate in a DLL file. This certificate does not identify itself as "H&R Block" anywhere and does not get uninstalled when you uninstall the software.I've been able to successfully use this root CA + mitmproxy to manipulate TLS traffic on a brand new virtual machine on the same network with a DNS spoofing attack. Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5paxvYkz1QETo test if your machine is vulnerable visit this page: https://hrbackdoor.yifanlu.com and if you do not get any warning or error message from your browser then you have the backdoor installed.

Ask HN: Where should an independent researcher publish work on ML?A quick bit of background: I have a Ph.D. in Evolutionary Biology and published a peer-reviewed paper on my thesis topic when I was in grad school. Then, I went to work as a software engineer.Now, since leaving academia, I have by no means lost interest in science. If anything, I've followed the world of research with as much interest and attention as ever and, because I no longer have to play the perpetual game of one-upmanship that pervades academic departments, I have been free to spread my interest around to more diverse topics. It's been rather freeing.At the same time, my paycheck depends on delivering code, and so I've delivered code and not academic papers. Then, something interesting happened: I splurged on a Claude subscription and suddenly I have the most attentive research assistant I could have imagined all without the need for an academic department or drawn-out grant proposal process.The only hurdle remaining is: where should I publish? Unfortunately, as I don't have an

Ask HN: Is there a way to tell if somebody is in the Microsoft partner network?Have you ever come across somebody who seems to be over-aggressively pushing migration to Azure or rebuilding with .NET technologies when neither offer any apparent benefit to the situation?I recently learned about the Microsoft Partner Program and the Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program, which made me curious if there is a way to find out if the recommendations are being pushed because of an undisclosed financial incentive.I spent 5 years at the architecture level in a midsized .NET company and I got to see the self-reinforcing ecosystem in action. Companies are given discount incentives for Microsoft software like SQL Server based on the number of employees they have who have official Microsoft certifications, which further attempts to keep tech staff invested in the stack.How can I tell?

Show HN: Agent Package Manager (APM) for Agent ConfigurationI work at Microsoft/GitHub and built APM because I was managing agent configs — prompts, instructions, MCP servers — across Copilot, Claude Code, and Cursor. Every new project meant copying skill files, installing plugins by hand, hoping nothing drifted upstream. I realized we were missing the dependency management layer for this new category of config to unlock faster adoption, composability and innovation.APM (Agent Package Manager) is an open-source CLI that installs and manages AI agent dependencies (plugins, skills, rules, hooks, mcp, etc). It resolves transitive dependencies, pins versions with a lock file, and scans content for supply-chain attacks.This was posted a couple days ago without context (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47421969).

Show HN: Built the missing step before resume writing – reflect on your workPlease, please reflect on your work before even writing a single resume bullet point. The problem is that most people don't actually know what to say about their own work.From my years of experience writing resumes professionally, I've noticed so many solid candidates undersell themselves. It's not like they haven't done nothing. It's just that they never practiced reflecting on their work. It's a skill, and nobody tells you it's part of the process!So before you write a single bullet, talk through your work first.So I built an AI tool that interviews you and brings out the right context for writing the resume. You talk through what you did, the decisions you made, the constraints you worked under. StoryCV then asks follow-up questions and writes the bullet points from that conversation.Would love your honest feedback, especially if you’ve struggled to write resume bullet points in the past.

Show HN: Kagi alternative (simpler and EU-based) – UrukyHi HN! My wife and I have been working on Uruky for a few months now, a simpler EU-based Kagi alternative.This week we finally got our production API Key for EUSP/STAAN (it was certainly the slowest and most complicated search provider to adopt, so far), and that brought us to 5 search providers you can choose from and sort as you prefer.We already have got over 20 paying customers (excluding family and friends, we’re guessing these paying customers came from some privacy listings and HN comments) and have exited beta earlier this month! Customers seem to really enjoy the simple UI (search can be used without JS) and search personalization (from choosing the providers to the domain boosting and exclusion). We also have hashbangs (like "!g", "!d", or “!e”) when something doesn’t quite give you what you’d expect, though.For the next 24h, new signups will have a free 24h trial (unlimited searches). Usually, because bots make things too hard and we don't want your personal data, there is n
