Show HN: AFS – filesystem-native memory layer for AI agentshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47062802I've been building multi-agent AI pipelines and kept running into the same structural problem: agents are stateless by default. Every session restart discards everything they learned. In multi-agent systems it compounds — Agent-1 learns something Agent-2 will never know. I started calling it "agent amnesia." AFS is my attempt to fix this. The central architectural decision is unusual: your filesystem IS the memory layer. There's no separate database process to run, no cloud service to authenticate against. AFS stores memories as JSON files in a `.afs/` directory, with SQLite FTS5 for full-text search, HNSW indices for vector similarity, and msgpack-encoded graph edges for relationships. *Three-tier memory lifecycle (automatic)* Memories auto-migrate without explicit management: - Working memory (< 24h): raw observations, fast access, no compression- Episodic memory: full history with provenance, searchable - Semantic memory: auto-consolidated knowledge (scheduler synthesizes patterns fFeb 18, 2026 4:31 PM

Revealed: 10 new insights in climate sciencehttps://www.esa.int/Applications/Observing_the_Earth/FutureEO/Space_for_our_climate/Revealed_10_new_insights_in_climate_scienceEach year, the world’s leading climate scientists evaluate the most critical evidence on how our planet is changing. Their assessments draw heavily on data from Earth-observing satellites – and the latest report delivers a stark warning: the planet’s energy balance is drifting further out of alignment, ocean warming is now accelerating, and the land’s capacity to absorb carbon is declining, along with other troubling trends.Feb 18, 2026 1:00 PM

Show HN: Corral – Auth and Stripe billing that AI coding agents can set uphttps://github.com/llama-farm/corralHey HN. I built Corral because every time I asked an AI coding agent to "add auth and payments," it hallucinated for an hour and produced broken code. Wrong imports, phantom endpoints, a login page wired to nothing.The problem isn't the agent. It's that auth-to-billing-to-gating is genuinely hard to wire, and there's no machine-readable spec for how to do it.Corral is an open-source CLI (MIT) that gives your agent a spec it can read (llms.txt), then scaffolds auth + Stripe billing into your existing project. It detects your framework (Express, Next.js, Hono, Fastify, and 13+ more), embeds into your existing server (doesn't create a new one), and generates working components: profile page, admin dashboard, plan gating, Stripe checkout, usage metering. One YAML config file controls everything.The agent workflow is 9 commands. Every command supports --json. Errors include a "fix" field. Exit 0 means deploy-ready.I hardened this across 10 framework/DB combos with blind agent tests: 3 AI moFeb 17, 2026 9:03 PM

Show HN: Fixing AI's Core Flaws, A protocol cuts LLM token waste by 40–70%https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47045604WLM (Wujie Language Model), a protocol stack + world engine that rethinks AI from token prediction to structural intelligence. I built this to fix the problems we all deal with daily: hallucination, drift, uncontrollable behavior, black-box reasoning, unstructured knowledge, and chaotic world/agent generation.The Pain We Can’t Keep IgnoringCurrent LLMs/agents are token predictors, not intelligences. They suffer from:• Hallucination: No grounded structure → guesses instead of knowing.• Persona drift: Personality is prompt-hacked, not structural.• Uncontrollable behavior: Sampling, not deterministic structure.• Black-box reasoning: No traceable reasoning path.• Knowledge soup: Embeddings/vectors, no formal structure.• Fragile world models: Prediction, not interpretable structure.• Random generation: No consistent causal/world rules.We’ve patched these with RAG, fine-tuning, prompts, RLHF — but they’re band-aids on a foundational flaw: AI lacks structure.How WLM Solves ItWLM is a 7-layer Feb 17, 2026 10:01 AM

Show HN: CoolWulf AI – A personal AI assistant built in Go, optimized for macOShttp://coolwulfAI.comHey HN,I've been building CoolWulf AI (https://coolwulfai.com), a self-hosted personal AI assistant. After seeing OpenClaw blow up, I wanted to share what I've been working on — a different approach to the same problem.*Why I built this:*I tried OpenClaw and found the Node.js/TypeScript stack heavy for what's essentially a local agent. pnpm, Node 22+, React — lots of moving parts. I wanted something that's a single binary, zero runtime dependencies, and feels native on macOS. So I built it in Go.*How it's different from OpenClaw:*- *Single binary, no runtime needed.* Download, set your API key, run. No Node.js, no pnpm, no build step. One ~100 MB binary. - *Built in Go.* Fast startup, low memory footprint, compiles to a native executable. No garbage collector pauses from a JS runtime sitting in the background. - *macOS-native integrations.* Deep AppleScript-based control of Apple Notes, Reminders, Calendar, Terminal.app, and WeChat desktop. These aren't browser hacks — they use the natFeb 17, 2026 5:32 AM

Show HN: Mindweave – AI-powered personal knowledge hub with semantic searchhttps://www.mindweave.space/Hi HN,I built Mindweave to solve a problem I kept running into — I'd save bookmarks, notes, and links across different apps, then never find them again when I actually needed them.Mindweave lets you capture notes, links, and files in one place. The interesting part is what happens after: - Semantic search — find content by meaning, not just keywords. "That article about improving deep work" finds it even if those words don't appear in the content. Powered by pgvector cosine similarity on Gemini embeddings. - AI auto-tagging — Gemini generates tags on save, so you don't have to organize anything manually. - Knowledge Q&A — ask questions about your saved content using RAG. Retrieves relevant pieces, feeds them as context to Gemini, returns a grounded answer. Stack: Next.js 15 (App Router, Server Actions), PostgreSQL 16 + pgvector, Google Gemini (text-embedding-004, 768d), Drizzle ORM, Auth.js v5, Tailwind/shadcn. Deployed on Cloud Run.
