Show HN: Hacker News with AI stories filtered outhttps://hcker.news/?view=frontpage&ai=excludeHi folks,I've noticed that a lot of people here seem exhausted by the amount of AI news on the front page. I shared hcker.news here a year ago and it has since gained a ton of filtering features, including a dedicated AI filter, so I figured I should tell more people about it.The filter works in three passes: 1. Known AI-related keywords and domains are filtered automatically. 2. An agent reviews the remaining articles and removes those it identifies as AI-related. 3. I make the call on uncertain cases. You can also exclude GitHub repos posted to HN that show signs of AI authorship. The filter checks: - Commit messages for agent attribution - Contributors for known coding agents - Repository files for agent instructions and configs No filter will be perfect, but this is as good as it gets. lmk what you think. Cheers.More links:Original Show HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44075353If you only want AI stories: https://hcker.news/?view=frontpage&ai=includeRSS: https://hcker.news/

Guinea-Bissau Tidal Watershttps://www.nasa.gov/image-article/guinea-bissau-tidal-waters/Twice each day, tides ebb and flow through a maze of sandy channels, mudflats, and mangrove forests that flank the 88 islands and islets of Guinea-Bissau’s Bijagós Archipelago (Arquipélago dos Bijagós in Portuguese). Seen from above in this image from Nov. 28, 2025, the process leads to stark changes to the landscape: around low tide, intertidal mudflats and sandflats […]

Show HN: Popkorn – A CSS based alternative for Lottie animationshttps://github.com/ayarse/popkornHi all,I’ve been working on this project for a while now and wanted to share it here for feedback and contributions. You can test drive it in the playground at:https://usepopkorn.devI’ve been calling it Popkorn. The idea is to author vector animations, similar to Rive and Lottie, but in a CSS-like language, with interactivity and other modern necessities baked into the format. I’ve stayed true to CSS for the most part, sprinkling on a little custom syntax for things like interactivity.Staying close to CSS gives it good DX, and it turns out to make it very LLM-friendly too. Nearly my entire examples gallery is AI generated. Even cheap models like GLM or DSv4 Flash can one shot whole animations from scratch, no fine-tuning required. There’s a Copilot feature the Playground that will let you bring your own key, or use the MCP to test drive AI features. Do share what you make please!There’s a web player that renders on Canvas or SVG, and a React Native player using Skia. It supports nested

Show HN: Christopher Nolan's Hymn to Athenahttps://jackcushman.org/writing/hymn-to-athena/Hi, HN! Did you know that Chris Nolan's casting of Tom Holland and Zendaya eerily echoes a 3000-year-old dance battle between Athena and Telemachus? I've been working on an art project that says so.If you like, it can be fun to go in blind with a strong research agent to sort out what this really is. Or there is a multi-layered CAPTCHA at the bottom that spells it out increasingly clearly.As a small spoiler: my day job is building reliable public data tools for a library. This piece draws on that background to try to make AI-native art -- fiction by and for humans who use AI agents as a source of truth. At best I hope it works as the kind of joke one Iain M. Banks Culture AI would tell another about humans.

Ask HN: What Is Stripe Today?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49150707I think Stripe’s internal strategy is a consolidation of products within its sector. Similar across other industries, such as cybersecurity, where I think Cloudflare is attempting to do the same. The broader idea is clearly enterprise consolidation. I think now is the correct period in the technology cycle for such consolidation.The influx of many enterprise companies was due to the advent from on premise computing/storage to the cloud, lowering the barrier to creating new companies. Hence, it was somewhat possible to create “Niche” enterprise businesses, such as a Dropbox or an Intercom. These businesses were able to create sustainable recurring profits because of a business model boom and customer captivity in terms of enterprise switching costs. Hence, none of these businesses are disappearing and should remain stable companies for a long time. There is a broader move to add company-adjacent products to further entrench customers and somewhat diversify from a core business.As costs

Show HN: Project ESPAÑOL: Find level-appropriate Spanish-language poemshttps://dmerullo.github.io/project-espanol/I made this application while taking Spanish lessons to find texts that used verb forms I was learning (present, past, future, subjunctive, etc.). First, I scraped ~10,000 Spanish-language poems from the web that are in the public domain. Then, I built a conjugation dictionary for the 550+ most common verbs, using rules to generate regular verbs, and scraping irregular verbs from the web. From this alone, you can identify which poems contain the most type of verbs you're trying to target. To take it further, I used a k-means clustering algorithm in Python to classify the poems into four difficulty levels based on verb form frequencies (poems with lots of verbs in subjunctive future perfect are more difficult than only present tense, for example).I first completed the project in December 2024, almost entirely by hand, using LLMs primarily to make an interactive Plotly Dash application. (I have a lot of experience with data visualization, especially ggplot2; that was my first time using

Show HN: Draco – A single-binary, self-hostable Firecrawl alternative in Rusthttps://github.com/0xchasercat/draco/Scraping modern websites has become a massive headache. You basically have two choices: pay for an expensive API like Firecrawl/Browserbase, or run a fleet of headless Chrome instances that eat 1GB of RAM per page and still get blocked by Cloudflare.I built Draco to fix this. It’s a fast, single-binary web scraper written in Rust. You point it at a URL, and it spits out perfectly clean Markdown or structured JSON for LLMs.The secret sauce is that it doesn't just boot a browser for every request. It uses a tiered escalation engine:Tier 1 (Stealth Fetch): Draco uses a custom TLS/JA4 fingerprint to perfectly mimic a real browser's network signature at the packet level. It turns out a lot of anti-bot walls will let you right through if your handshake looks correct. In my benchmarks against sites like Cloudflare and Target, Playwright ate ~500MB of RAM and timed out. Draco bypassed them in under a second using just 20MB of RAM.Tier 2 (V8 Isolate): If it hits a React/Next.js SPA that needs r

Show HN: Kota – Bring AI agent CLIs into the same roomhttps://www.kota.place/A couple months ago, I was tired of keep copy-paste across different Agent Chatbot tabs, feeling like a slave for AI sessions, so I created Kota for my own work.Kota was designed around a concept of Knights of the Round Table.It treats human as part of a project team, and- Runs on top of existing CLIs with existing logins, - Gives each agent a persisted, viewable and editable identity, instead of sessions - Has a file-based long-term memory, - Uses a self-managed skillset, - Works on separated worktrees as workspace, and - Chats directly with other agents in the room.I have been using Kota for my daily work, hobby projects, as personal life assistants and to improve Kota itself, sitting down or on the go.Starting this week, I found it has become the only AI tool I am using now. So I am very happy to release Kota as an open source project, hoping more people can share my joy of living and working with these little friends.In the released version, you can use some most popular CLIs with

Show HN: EvoChess – start with 8 pawns, evolve your armyhttps://penkovsky.github.io/evochess/This chess variant's theme is evolution. One morning in early 2016 I woke up with an idea: what if chess were built around promotion? Eventually, this resulted in the following game:It plays like chess, but you start with only pawns and a king. Pawns can be promoted to bishops or knights, while those minor pieces can be promoted to rooks. Their promotion rights accumulate (every three pawn moves, pawn promotion right; every three minor piece moves, minor piece to rook right). Rooks are transformed to a knight or a bishop on the rook's fifth move.Recently, I built a playable version. The AI opponent works on phone with no internet. The search engine uses a lightweight neural net. The engine was first weak and my friends complained about it.So I have spent quite some time to train a better NN for the board evaluation. Fixed some bugs in search. And I have even designed a "Fun" mode where the AI opponent is thinking while you are thinking. (WARNING: "Fun" mode is ruthlessly draining the b
