Show HN: Welter's game, a little Nim-like combinatorial gamehttps://welter.fuglede.dkHi HN! Here's a little game I (and my buddy Claude, cf. the obvious CSS gradient tell) set up to explain to my kids some of things we were working on at work.So in the game you're taking turns moving coins down a line until no moves are possible. If you've taken a course on combinatorial game theory, you'll have come across the game of nim and you can think of this one as a variant of nim where there can only be a single coin in every square. The theory of how to play it isn't quite as well-established as for nim though; play with enough coins and I certainly find it quite tricky to mentally reason about whether a position is good or not.One fun fact about Welter's game is that its winning positions form the codewords of a particular error-correcting code called the constant weight binary lexicode (Conway and Sloane, 1986). What that means is that being good at the game is the same as being good at decoding messages in that code. Probably more fun to just play the game though.Jun 9, 2026 11:58 AM

Show HN: Learn from 30 historical figures, open source, nonprofit, self-hostedhttps://github.com/chipmates/agoracosmicaHello HN, I am the founder of Agora Cosmica.This started about three years ago. On a walk I asked a chatbot to interpret the cave dream from Cormac McCarthy's book "The Road" as C.G. Jung. It gave me a perspective I had not thought of. But for my own dreams the policies of the big providers felt wrong for so personal conversations, as zero data retention is not available. So I started building.The project evolved to a German nonprofit and we published the code (AGPL-3.0) last month. The content is still copyright, but will be opened to CC-BY 4.0 in the next 6 to 12 months.Agora Cosmica is a library to learn from 30 historical figures. Each one has 12 narrated stories about their teachings / life wisdom, speech to speech conversation. Four learning modes and a council where you can gather the figures to discuss or reflect on a topic. Each figure is an AI Echo, an interpretation grounded in primary works, historical context, with a factcheck per figure to show what's verified versus recrJun 9, 2026 11:56 AM

Show HN: Startup sci-fi novel that took me 5 years to writehttps://www.blockchainednovel.com/It started after reading Stephen King's "On Writing" where he likened the art of writing as the unearthing of an archeological site after you stumbled upon a unique bone of a story. His advice was to choose a domain you are deeply intimate with. For me, I've been a struggling startup founder for 15 years—enough material to inspire a novel.A 1,000-word writing exercise turned into a complete 125k-word manuscript over the course of a year.In year 1, I learned the sheer joy of unencumbered creative flow and authentic expression. A similar flow I used to get from coding (and more recently vibe coding). What made it effortless was a mindset that I was writing for the sake of it, not with the intention of publishing.After a year of keeping it close to my chest, I decided to show it to a few close friends. They liked some of it, destroyed some of it. Some ultimately encouraged me to publish it.In year 2, I learned about the chasm between writing for myself and writing for an audience.

Show HN: Tool you give AI agents to sneak in prompts or connect multiple agentshttps://apps.apple.com/us/app/promptgate/id6772730472So, I was looking for ways on how to make Codex and Antigravity talk to each other and came up with "Promptgate", which is essentially a web server that does http long polling and slow releasing the data to keep agents happy and give you chat-like UI to publish data.It is useful when you give the HTTP endpoint to an AI agent to fetch some data or to wait for instructions, then the execution of the ralph loop comes under your control as the AI agent think they are doing some HTTP request. Good when you want to pause the AI agent to investigate and provide more prompts etc.It also has an endpoint for adding messages, this way you can cross 2 gates(these HTTP endpoints are called gates) and let one agent do your work, the other one look at the work and provide instructions to the agent.You will understand the concept right away, create gate copy paste the prompt into the agent(works very well on Codex for me) and wait a few moment until the agent does a CURL and start waiting, then type sJun 8, 2026 9:15 AM

Ask HN: Are we as society going to let LLM companies take all the values?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48439240I am not that young, but I'm not that old. I used to be a child, and thought that the adults already figured things out and I can be at peace.One of my realization of me getting older is the realization that there are no adults in the room anymore, or that I am now, an adult, who, also the same like other adults, we actually don't know shit about anything, none of us do.I think LLM is a useful technology. But since the dawn of LLMs, I've been trying to imagine what the world will look like if we take LLM to its logical conclusion. It seems to me, despite of all its benefits, LLM is a sword too sharp for all of us to handle. Its not gonna be sunshines and rainbows.A couple things I'm thinking about below, and these are all just societal impact, not even environmental ones:- Young people lost their career ladders. Capitalism doesn't work anymore. We have permanent underclass. And maybe worldwide scale societal unrest, in which violence will be the norm.- People stop creating music, stop Jun 7, 2026 10:30 PM
