But the discovery of this gas in the atmospheres of four distant, Jupiter-like planets is turning heads for a pleasant reason: It solves the mystery of how some gas giants form. The discovery, made by UCLA and University of California San Diego astronomers, marks the first time that hydrogen sulfide has been detected in a distant gas giant outsidFeb 13, 2026 5:20 AM

Show HN: MicroGPT in 243 Lines – Demystifying the LLM Black Boxhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46998295The release of microgpt by Andrej Karpathy is a foundational moment for AI transparency. In exactly 243 lines of pure, dependency-free Python, Karpathy has implemented the complete GPT algorithm from scratch. As a PhD scholar investigating AI and Blockchain, I see this as the ultimate tool for moving beyond the "black box" narrative of Large Language Models (LLMs).The Architecture of Simplicity Unlike modern frameworks that hide complexity behind optimized CUDA kernels, microgpt exposes the raw mathematical machinery. The code implements:The Autograd Engine: A custom Value class that handles the recursive chain rule for backpropagation without any external libraries.GPT-2 Primitives: Atomic implementations of RMSNorm, Multi-head Attention, and MLP blocks, following the GPT-2 lineage with modernizations like ReLU.The Adam Optimizer: A pure Python version of the Adam optimizer, proving that the "magic" of training is just well-orchestrated calculus.The Shift to the Edge: Privacy, LatencyFeb 13, 2026 2:38 AM

Ask HN: We're building a saving app for European savers and need GTM advicehttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46994985Hey HN, I'm Alessandro, founder of unflat.finance. We're an Italian startup building a stablecoin yield app for everyday Europeans people who have never touched a wallet, don't know what Morpho is, and have no interest in learning.What we do today: Users deposit euros via cooinbase pay. We convert to USDC, split their deposit across multiple isolated Morpho vaults on Base chain (each with different collateral types and borrowers pledging 150-200% of what they receive), and they earn 4-7% APY. They see one number: their balance growing daily. No wallet, no gas fees, no tokens. We have apps built for both iOS and Android, currently in beta.The market context: This category is exploding in the US. Axal (a16z CSX, $2.5M), Nook (Coinbase Ventures, $2.5M, ~7.6% avg APY, built by ex-Coinbase/Uber team), YieldClub ($2.5M), and Aave itself launched a consumer savings app with up to 9% APY and $1M deposit protection. They're all live or in waitlist. They all run on the same proven infrastructureFeb 12, 2026 8:52 PM

Camera based true random number generator Betahttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46988432I’m an electromechanical engineer who usually tinkers with RPis and Arduinos more than software, but a few weeks ago I went down the rabbit hole of randomness. I read about Cloudflare’s lava lamp wall and thought: if they’re ultimately using cameras, why not use the image sensor noise directly?Modern CMOS sensors produce a lot of grainy, unstable pixels—even when pointed at a static scene. You can film the same white wall at 30 fps and never get an identical frame. That felt like a decent physical entropy source, so I built a TRNG around it and called it Aegis Optikon(.com).The pipeline right now looks like this: Capture frames from a camera (client devices) Extract “noisy” pixel data Whiten and compress it Send entropy packets to the server Mix multiple streams together Extract with BLAKE3 Attach timestamps and hashes per packet for basic verifiability I’m not a seasoned backend/security engineer—I leaned heavily on AI tools (Copilot/DeepSeek) to get the code into shape, then iteratedFeb 12, 2026 1:13 PM

Show HN: TalkTick – Speech to (big) text, one word at a time (iPhone/iPad App)https://furtiv.com/talktick.htmlHi! I vibecoded this with my daughter. It uses the SpeechAnalyzer framework in iOS 26, so all speech-to-text processing happens entirely on-device. One interesting thing we noticed is that real-time transcription is noticeably faster in English than in other languages. My guess is that the English model benefits from more training data compared to Spanish, French, German, etc. It works slightly better with earphones, but it’s surprisingly good even if you just point your phone away from you and speak in a normal voice. The transcription runs a few seconds behind, but it can handle continuous speech quite well, and you quickly get used to the delay.You can use the app to communicate at a distance, during presentations, when learning a language, or if you have difficulty hearing. Some unexpected use cases we’ve found: ad hoc captions when the TV subtitles are already set to another language, a backup when people can’t hear me on Zoom calls, captions while listening to the radio, or tryinFeb 12, 2026 1:03 PM

Show HN: An aesthetic customizable online flip clock and my first ever apphttps://flipcloc.com/I know there are many flip clocks out there, but flip clocks are truly wonderful and my version FlipCloc is smooth, optimized, detailed, and fully customizable to match your workflow / aesthetics / mood.Often, flip clocks online feel half baked: choppy animations, bad flipping animations, lazy flap separations, sometimes not even distinct top and bottom flaps, zero customization, and so on. After playing with time related concepts in various projects, I wanted to build an app of my own and made this using WebGL and React. This is my first ever app and I’m quite proud of this beta version.Try the full experience for free in any browser. No ads, just a beautiful clock you can run in a tab, window, or PiP while working or studying. (One-time purchase unlocks saving custom themes, settings, and presets and is usable on the web, app, or screensaver.) You can start by trying out some of the different preset styles and then customizing it to your preferences.Key features:• Show/hide seconds, Feb 12, 2026 12:52 PM

Show HN: Carapace – A security-hardened Rust alternative to OpenClawhttps://github.com/puremachinery/carapaceCarapace is an open-source personal AI assistant gateway written in Rust. It connects to Anthropic, OpenAI, Ollama, Gemini, and Bedrock, and works through Discord, Telegram, Signal, Slack, and webhooks. Apache-2.0 licensed.I started building it after the January 2026 OpenClaw security disclosures — 42K exposed instances on Shodan (78% still unpatched), 3 CVEs with public exploits, 341+ malicious skills on ClawHub (Snyk found 36% of all skills have security flaws), 1-click RCE via the Control UI, plaintext credentials harvestable by commodity infostealers. The problems weren't bugs; they were architecture decisions — open by default, no signing, full host privileges, secrets in JSON files. The February wave from Kaspersky, Palo Alto, Snyk, and SecurityScorecard made it worse, not better.Carapace takes the opposite defaults: localhost-only binding, fail-closed auth, OS keychain credential storage, Ed25519-signed WASM plugins with capability sandboxing, prompt guard with exec approval, SSFeb 12, 2026 3:13 AM

All built with React Native New Architecture, TypeScript, and 4 core libraries: Reanimated, Gesture Handler, Unistyles, and React Native SVG. No UI framework, no heavy dependencies. Framework-agnostic, works with Expo Router, React Navigation, or custom navigation.I started this project before AI got good at writing UI code. The plan was different then. But building UI screens is becoming a commodity, AI makes it cheaper every day, and the trend is clear.Developers can move much faster now — no need to rebuild the same onboarding flow every time. So these are more useful as open reference implementations, showing what's achievable with a focused, minimal stack, than as a gated product.Templates also include some basic documentation to help AI coding assistants understand the structure if you want to use them for customization.Demo app available on TestFliFeb 11, 2026 8:41 PM

Show HN: Privacy-first iOS Keyboard with above-key predictionshttps://www.klava.space/Hey y'all, building Klava – an iOS keyboard inspired by BlackBerry, Windows Phone and other iconic aesthetics. It's pretty cool, I love it.It started because I missed BlackBerry keyboard's above-key predictions dearly. That is, suggestions are displayed above individual keys as you type, and you can flick them up to input words. Then came the realisation that I am violently nostalgic for the design languages of the past, when phones were fun – and have been looking for something like that on iOS for ages. Lastly, I realised that everything should be highly customisable and privacy-first because that's nice for me and for everyone.v1.2 now out with 25+ languages supported. Any Qs on the peculiarities (there are a ton) of building a custom iOS keyboard – feel free to shoot, and any thoughts & feedback.Feb 11, 2026 6:11 PM
