Young Galaxy Clusterhttps://www.nasa.gov/image-article/young-galaxy-cluster/NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope takes us 4.4 billion years in the past with this July 3, 2026, image of a young galaxy cluster, MACS J0553.4-3342. The cluster is composed of two actively merging sub-clusters, roughly equal in mass. Each sub-cluster is anchored on an immensely bright and massive elliptical galaxy, easily identifiable as the […]Jul 16, 2026 2:35 PM

Show HN: An MCP server that frames screen recordings and shots in Apple bezelshttps://github.com/cwooddgr/bezelbub/tree/main/bezelbub-mcpCreating device-framed screenshots and screen recordings for my iOS, macOS, and tvOS apps is a pain so I looked for a tool, preferably with an MCP server that could do it for me. I couldn't find anything that did everything I wanted (images and videos, scaling, transparent backgrounds for both, etc) so I made one: Bezelbub.I started with a macOS app. Handy when putting together App Store listings, which was my first use case. Then I added support for video in/out. But I realized I wanted framed screenshots in more places than that (like social posts) so I made an iOS app that would allow me to just snap a screenshot on-device, share it to Bezelbub, choose my options, and share it directly from there. Neat.But I still found myself doing a lot of the work, which in the age of Claude Code is goofy. So I created a command-line version and a Homebrew tap. Works a treat. I intentionally made it agent-first (no interactivity, complete docs in --help, JSON output, meaningful error codes, suggeJul 16, 2026 2:21 PM

Show HN: Estratos – stacked memory system for AI assistantshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48934870When collaborating as a (mostly) non-technical team, each of us uses our own AI assistants like Cowork and Codex.The problem we kept hitting is that there's no "multiplayer mode" for assistants, that share project knowledge.Today we're rolling out Estratos at https://estratos.aiEstratos gives teams shared memory layers for their AI assistants.* Stacked memories *The layers part may be a bit specific to us, so I'm very keen to get feedback.The way we work, we set up the "house rules" for all Cowork projects at the memory root level. Then each project under the root has its own memories, and each subproject (eg. gtm) its own memories.In the Cowork project instructions, we tell the agent to read memory from eg. root.project-acme.go-to-market and it'll bundle everything up the stack as the initial context for that Cowork session.* Revision control *The product has a distinction between contributing users and admins. Users can propose memories and updates (and use whatever they propose), buJul 16, 2026 2:11 PM

Show HN: I kept rewriting scripts for my teams, so I built a visual tool insteadhttps://ipek.run/Hi HN, I'm Nuru. Ipek is a desktop automation app that resulted from my laziness: automating API calls, Excel/CSV parsing locally, OCR and LLM calls by hand; they all take too much time to maintain, especially when various teams request additional tools on top of those scripts.So I built a visual workflow builder where my non-technical teams can run those deterministic workers themselves, see the logs, and produce the outputs on their own machines. They can also connect the localhost MCP and vibe code new scripts(workers); that will connect to workflows.There is no server side, it's a JVM app (not Electron! :D) that lets you create, compile & attach your own workers; it's basically an IDE for automations. You can create workers either from your own agent over localhost MCP (Claude Code, Codex) or using the builtin Claude chat with your own API key - so Ipek becomes completely free to run, with no per-task fees; your only cost is your own API usage, and you own the data & software.

Ask HN: How about a "Merge Stories" feature?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48933107There's often posts on HN linking to different articles on the same subject. Especially with general or high-profile tech news.It's not a big issue. HN users tend to upvote preferred sources, post cross-links, or discussions center around specifics in each article.But it's also not optimal. Multiple articles on the same subject could benefit from a single discussion on the subject matter they have in common. Or compare article A versus article B's coverage. Also I suspect most HN users don't like laying out some argument & post, only to discover 10m later that same topic was argued to death in a related story. Or upvote a less-preferred source while a more-preferred source already saw lots of comments & upvotes.It could (for example) be implemented by adding a poll to let HN users vote on what to use as primary link. Or just list the various links. Users can add candidates, select/upvote which they prefer, most popular one gets hugged, additional articles serve as extras. Hey this sounJul 16, 2026 11:32 AM

The Missed Reality: Code Review Wasn't Built for the AI Erahttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48931713The Bottleneck Isn't Writing Code Anymore. It's Trusting It.The speed at which AI generates code has officially surpassed our capacity to review it. For decades, the bottleneck in software engineering was writing the code. Today, the bottleneck has shifted entirely to trusting that the code can run effectively in production and actually solve the business problem.But let's be honest: humans never truly scaled code review anyway.Throughout my career, I have observed developers approving PRs or MRs that contain critical bugs. When they do engage in the review process, they often focus on stylistic issues. Why does this happen? Because reviewers are overloaded with their own backlogs to manage, and often choose the path of least resistance by saying, "Looks good to me."Now, we are trying to solve this by throwing AI at the problem!The Missed Reality: Code Review Wasn't Built for the AI EraCode review - whether conducted by a human or an LLM - was not designed for this era of autonomous coJul 16, 2026 8:22 AM

Thinking: Alternate Distribution for Filmmakershttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48931604This idea did not in anyway start with the intention of distribution. In my 20s there were a group of 12 of us, who shared a whatsapp group and every thursday, we had a standing appointment to decide and watch the interesting movie for the week.Over the years as life happens and folks got married, moved, priorities shifted, that ritual that almost lasted a decade fell apart.During the pandemic, given that most of us had a VR headset, we reconnected and started watching movies together - we'd setup a shared stream and would have a google chat going on the side, so that we can hear each other while the movie played.VR has been surprisingly good to recreate that theatrical atmosphere - but the worst bit is sitting in a virtual cinema as the only person. Dimming the lights out (within the virtual environment so that you don't see the empty chairs) and having a video call where we can hear each other on one of the ears, kinda felt a bit like the gang was back together.Even if it hasn't beenJul 16, 2026 8:06 AM

Show HN: Trellis2.c – Local 3D generation with Vulkan and CUDAhttps://github.com/Wimacs/trellis2.cHi HN, I started this because I wanted something in the spirit of llama.cpp and stable-diffusion.cpp, but for local 3D generation model: native executables, no Python/PyTorch runtime, and both CUDA and Vulkan backends. I’ve mainly tested it on an NVIDIA RTX 4090. I’m particularly interested in Vulkan results on AMD and Intel GPUs, where driver behavior and memory allocation may differ. If you try it, GPU, driver, OS details, and failure logs would be extremely helpful. The main limitation right now is performance. The implementation has not yet been heavily optimized, so inference is currently slower than mature, fully optimized PyTorch or Vulkan backends. There is still substantial room for kernel, memory-use, and scheduling improvements.Jul 16, 2026 7:39 AM
