Ask HN: Anyone else seeing serious degradation in DX with Opus 4.8?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48356061As an anthropic fan boy(check my prev. comments), this is the first opus release where I feel like the model is just not pleasant to talk to not to mention untrustworthy.The two examples for me where I lost confidence in it is once where it started with 2 random echo commands: https://snipboard.io/tpqfP2.jpg Another where I asked it to create a new landing page and it just deleted an existing app page as a replacement.I'm not exactly sure if this is a harness problem with the claude code updates(maybe system prompt changed) or if its just the model itself that has gotten too "safety-pilled" as I've been seeing similar opinions where devs are complaining about the fact that the model seems to distrust the user's intentions.Either way, this is the first model release where I've downgraded to previous model since I was already pretty happy with it before. Should make it clear if its a model problem or the harnessJun 1, 2026 12:40 PM

Show HN: Pictolab (online HDR image editor)https://pictolab.io/Source code: http://github.com/anchpop/pictolabI love HDR, but until recently dynamic HDR content was hard to render in the browser. But now, with browsers shipping support for WebGPU and canvases with extended color spaces, it's actually feasible.So what I wanted to was make an image editor capable of doing the simple edits I often need to do, but with full HDR support, which is rare in browser editors. Turning up the brightness on an HDR-capable monitor is a great way to see what your monitor can do :PI tried to go overboard in every way I could. So brightness/saturation/hue adjustments use the okLCH color space, and there's an option to do a "content-aware resize" with seam carving, which is fast because it's parallelized using Sam Westrick's triangle-blocking algorithm [0].Also, the site supports importing HEIC photos as taken with an iPhone, which is surprisingly hard to do correctly. Libraries like libheic don't fully support the format used by iPhones, so if used naively the HDRMay 31, 2026 9:45 PM

Show HN: I brought back Airbnb categorieshttps://www.vibebnb.fyi/I miss airbnb categories. It was fun and I loved being able to just browse thorugh cool listings. I'm not exactly sure why they removed it. Then, a couple weeks ago, they hit me with some A/B test and I had access to a "what" freeform textbox to custom filter results. Now apparently they removed that too.At this point, I wasn't happy - so I decided to look into how to bring it back. I noticed they still use some of the categories pages for SEO. For example: https://www.airbnb.com/united-states/stays/ski-in-ski-outThat gave me hope - those filters still existed somewhere. Turns out they were only removed from the UI and the search backend still supports all of them.So after a bit of googling, I figured out how it works. Airbnb's search runs on a GraphQL endpoint you can hit anonymously, and the categories map to params on the search URL that I recovered and verified one by one:- Property types: property_type_id[]= (Chalet=22, Cabin=4, Treehouse=6, Castle=5), still filtering even though May 29, 2026 7:53 PM

Fifteen minutes total.Six breaths a minute is roughly the resonance frequency of your cardiovascular system. At that rate with a long exhale your heart rate variability, blood pressure, and breathing sync up and your vagal tone climbs. There's real research behind this going back to Lehrer and Vaschillo in the early 2000s. It's also what a $320 FDA-cleared device called RESPeRATE does and the patent expired, the protocol is in the public domain, it's two tones and a timer.MosMay 29, 2026 8:29 AM

Show HN: Monochess – A chess variant with rule-bending action cardshttps://monochess.pages.devHey HN,A while back I saw a video[0] of people playing chess but using action cards to modify the rules mid-game (skip turns, reverse, draw 2, etc.). It looked incredibly chaotic and really fun to play, so I decided to actually build it as a playable online game. A small difference in Monochess is there's no need to call out a phrase if you just have one piece. I noticed while testing with the mrs. it became really annoying to keep doing this every move.That also gave me a really good reason to build on Cloudflare using their entire stack, something I've been meaning to get my hands dirty with for quite some time. The app is built using SvelteKit and hosted on Pages, there's a Durable Object worker-backed game server, and D1 as the database layer for accounts/games.This project included:- A Custom Engine: Standard chess engines panic when forced into illegal board states.
