Show HN: Using AI to generate accurate illustrations for physiotherapy sitehttps://www.healandmove.fitHi HN,My wife is a physiotherapist, and a while back, she decided to start compiling her clinical experience and patient care knowledge into a resource site, Heal And Move. The goal was to share clear, actionable articles on various physical conditions, rehabilitation plans, and specific exercises.The Bottleneck: The biggest hurdle we immediately ran into was visuals. Explaining a specific stretch or joint movement through text alone is tough. Relying on generic stock photos often doesn't accurately reflect the proper form or the specific muscle groups being targeted, and hiring medical illustrators for every single post just wasn't scalable.The AI Solution: Recently, we started integrating AI image and video generation into her workflow, and it's been a massive unlock. She can now translate her domain knowledge into precise prompts to generate accurate anatomical illustrations, exercise demonstrations, and step-by-step videos.As many of you know, getting AI to render anatomically corrMar 13, 2026 1:28 PM

Launch HN: Spine Swarm (YC S23) – AI agents that collaborate on a visual canvashttps://www.getspine.ai/Hey HN! We're Ashwin and Akshay from Spine AI (https://www.getspine.ai). Spine Swarm is a multi-agent system that works on an infinite visual canvas to complete complex non-coding projects: competitive analysis, financial modeling, SEO audits, pitch decks, interactive prototypes, and more. Here's a video of it in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_2-ggpZz0Q.We've been friends for over 13 years. We took our first ML course together at NTU, in a part of campus called North Spine, which is where the name comes from. We went through YC in S23 and have spent about 3 years building Spine across many product iterations.The core idea: chat is the wrong interface for complex AI work. It's a linear thread, and real projects aren't linear. Sure, you can ask a chatbot to reference the financial model from earlier in the thread, or run research and market sizing together, but you're trusting the model to juggle that context implicitly. There's no way to see how it's connecting the pieces, noMar 13, 2026 1:22 PM

Show HN: Arkadia – AI characters based on real animalshttps://arkadia.lexisark.com/Hi HN,I've been working on a small project called Arkadia.The idea started when I put a collar camera on my dog and experimented with using AI to narrate things from her point of view. That led me down a rabbit hole thinking about animal personalities and how people might interact with them.Arkadia is a conversational AI app where you can chat with characters inspired by real animals.The goal is to make it feel like discovering animals through conversation rather than interacting with a generic chatbot.It's still early, but we have a few hundred people using it while I test conversation quality, memory, and latency.One direction I'm exploring is using AI as a bridge to the real world. For example, after chatting with a character inspired by a specific breed or animal, you could discover farms, shelters, or places nearby where you could actually meet animals in real life.Curious what the HN community thinks.Mar 12, 2026 1:28 PM

Show HN: Caelix, a balanced-ternary lattice field laboratoryhttps://caelix.co.uk/Hi HN,I've been working on an open-source simulation lab called CAELIX and wanted to share it here. It's a discrete lattice field framework for testing whether continuum-like signatures can emerge and be routed using strictly local update rules on a balanced-ternary substrate {-1, 0, +1}.There are 11 real-time animations running directly off the simulation code on the website. (I locked these specific visualisations to 2D so they actually run smoothly in the browser on phones and modest hardware). The architecture enforces a strict separation. The discrete balanced-ternary microstates act as a topological boundary generator which couples via a deterministic load functional into continuous carrier dynamics. The numerics are often FDTD-like, using diffuse and telegraph surrogate equations, but the framework as a whole is much broader than a conventional solver.A bit of background: I'm not a physicist. My expertise is in computing systems, databases and audio engineering. I go all the wayMar 12, 2026 11:25 AM

AI is supercharging fake workhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47347983As anyone with an internet connection knows, there’s been a lot of buzz about how AI is going to reshape the workforce for the past 3 years and layoffs due to “AI” have already started, the most severe of which came last week as Block announced they were chopping off 40% of their workforce for what sounded more like the potential that AI could replace workers as opposed to it actually being able to. There has been a (in my opinion) healthy dose of skepticism regarding the claim that AI is going to make us more productive and these productivity gains are going to put people out of work. I think this skepticism has been felt by many of whom work in tech companies where AI is literally being force-fed to us, and I wonder how much of this skepticism would apply to other companies and the workforce in general. OK, so…1. Many (possibly most) people at major tech companies spend most of their time doing essentially fake work, which may or may not be actually negatively impacting productivity.Mar 12, 2026 8:33 AM

Ask HN: Can a word game work as a competitive strategy esport?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47347625I've been experimenting with a browser game design problem.Most word games (Scrabble, Wordle, etc.) are either slow or mostly about vocabulary. I wanted to see if it was possible to build one that behaves more like a competitive strategy game — something closer to chess in terms of tension and reversals.The result is a prototype called The Word Gambit. The board grows organically from placed words, and late-game detonations from long words can swing the match dramatically.The surprising thing during testing is that matches often feel more like territory control than spelling.Players also started creating AI opponents ("gladiators") and pitting them against each other, which I didn't originally plan.I'm curious about a few design questions:• Can vocabulary realistically function as a competitive skill in an esport context? • What mechanics would make a word-based game strategically deep rather than dictionary-driven? • Would spectators even enjoy watching something like this?If anyone iMar 12, 2026 7:37 AM

Show HN: Clawly – OpenClaw for Shopify Merchantshttps://apps.shopify.com/clawlyI’ve been experimenting with agent frameworks like OpenClaw recently and wondered how useful that model could be for ecommerce workflows.A lot of Shopify tasks are repetitive: generating product descriptions, monitoring inventory, sending reports, tagging products, etc. In theory, agent-style systems could automate a lot of that.The problem I ran into is that most agent frameworks are developer tools, and wiring them directly to a live store API feels risky. You don’t really want an unconstrained agent making arbitrary API calls.So I built Clawly, which is basically an AI assistant system designed specifically for Shopify stores.Instead of giving an agent full access, each assistant has scoped permissions and can only use the tools you allow (similar to Shopify API scopes). For example:- an assistant that only generates product descriptions- one that monitors orders and sends alerts- one that produces daily sales summariesAgents can also connect to external tools like Klaviyo, Notion, Mar 11, 2026 4:43 PM

Show HN: Klaus – OpenClaw on a VM, batteries includedhttps://klausai.com/We are Bailey and Robbie and we are working on Klaus (https://klausai.com/): hosted OpenClaw that is secure and powerful out of the box.Running OpenClaw requires setting up a cloud VM or local container (a pain) or giving OpenClaw root access to your machine (insecure). Many basic integrations (eg Slack, Google Workspace) require you to create your own OAuth app.We make running OpenClaw simple by giving each user their own EC2 instance, preconfigured with keys for OpenRouter, AgentMail, and Orthogonal. And we have OAuth apps to make it easy to integrate with Slack and Google Workspace.We are both HN readers (Bailey has been on here for ~10 years) and we know OpenClaw has serious security concerns. We do a lot to make our users’ instances more secure: we run on a private subnet, automatically update the OpenClaw version our users run, and because you’re on our VM by default the only keys you leak if you get hacked belong to us.

Diffusion LLM may make most of the AI engineering stack obsoletehttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47336498I've been deep-diving into diffusion language models this week and I think this is the most underrated direction in AI right now.The core issue with autoregressive LLMs:Every major model today (GPT, Claude, Gemini) generates one token at a time, left to right. Each token depends on the previous one. This single architectural constraint has shaped the entire AI industry:- Models can't revise what they already wrote → we build chain-of-thought, reflection, and multi-pass reasoning to force them to "think before committing" - One forward pass per token → we invest heavily in speculative decoding, KV-caches, and quantization to make generation tolerable - Can't edit mid-output → we build agent frameworks with retry loops, tool calls, and planning layers to work around it - Can't generate in parallel → we build orchestration systems that chain multiple slow calls togetherMost of what we call "AI engineering" today is patching around one thing: the model can't look back.Diffusion LMs flip thMar 11, 2026 3:00 PM

Ask HN: Agencies/MSPs, how do you manage VPN access across many clients?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47333997Hi HN,we're a software development agency with several clients scattered across Europe. Due to the nature of our products many require to connect to the client's VPN to offer assistance and perform maintenance. Most times we can't install our own VPN.This has led to some of our devs needing to manage more than 20 different VPNs, all with different clients (sometimes with incompatible versions, looking at you Fortinet), credentials, expirations, tokens and such. Some of those get unused for months, only to discover they're broken when you most need them to fix an outage in production. For us, it has become a mess.So the first question for you: Is this a fairly common problem or is this just us? If it is, did you solve it in any way? I've been looking for tools to streamline this but haven't found anything.That said, we’ve been exploring an idea for a while: basically a control layer on top of existing VPNs.

A Methodological Critique of "First Proof" (Abouzaid et al., 2026)https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47326182Regarding: https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.05192IntroductionThe First Proof paper (Abouzaid et al., 2026) aims to evaluate AI capabilities through a set of research-level mathematical problems. While the mathematical content of the questions is not in dispute, the experimental design suffers from significant methodological gaps that undermine the authors' primary conclusions. Specifically, the paper conflates binary outcomes with processual states, lacks independent verification protocols, and exhibits an asymmetric approach to transparency. This review examines five core logical inconsistencies (Axioms I–V) where the study's rigorous mathematical standards appear to have been decoupled from its empirical methodology. (Link: https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.05192)Axiom I: One-shot experiments produce binary outcomes, not processual states.The design is strictly non-iterative. The state space is S = {0, 1} (correct/incorrect). The authors conclude that AI systems "struggle" — yet "struggle" denoteMar 10, 2026 5:21 PM

Show HN: Efficient LLM Architectures for 32GB RAM (Ternary and Sparse Inference)https://github.com/opengraviton/graviton-nativeHi HN,I’ve been exploring how far large language models can be pushed on machines with limited memory.I built an experimental runtime and architecture approach focused on making extremely large models more feasible on systems with around 32GB of RAM.The core idea is combining several efficiency techniques:ternary weight representation {-1, 0, +1} (~1.58 bits per weight), sparse execution that skips zero weights, memory-mapped layer streaming from NVMe storage, and lightweight tensor unpacking optimized for Apple Silicon.Instead of keeping the entire model in RAM, weights can be streamed from fast SSD storage and unpacked during execution. This shifts the bottleneck from memory capacity toward storage bandwidth and compute efficiency.Early experiments show significant compression compared to FP16 weights (for example TinyLlama-1.1B shrinking from ~2.05GB to ~0.24GB with ternary packing).The project is still experimental, but the goal is to explore whether extreme compression + sparsity Mar 9, 2026 8:30 PM

Show HN: Time as the 4th Dimension – What if it emerges from rotational motion?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47312569I've been developing a framework since 2022 that proposes time is not a static geometric axis (as in Einstein's relativity) but emerges dynamically from the rotational and orbital motion of 3D space.The core idea: each dimension emerges from the previous one by arranging infinite instances perpendicularly. A static 3D space can't do this to itself — but a rotating one can. That perpetual self-perpendicularity is time.From this we can derive the Lorentz factor, E=mc², and the Schwarzschild radius, and propose a testable prediction: intrinsic rotation should contribute independently to time dilation, measurable with atomic clocks.Essay (accessible): https://lisajguo.substack.com/p/time-as-the-fourth-dimension...

Show HN: BuildHiFi – PC Part Picker for Home Stereoshttps://buildhifi.comI've been building hi-fi stereo setups for years with all sorts different budgets, different rooms, helping friends spec out systems. I even worked at a hi-fi shop for several months before I came scurrying back to tech (a good story, but, uh, out of scope here). I kept wishing for something like PCPartPicker.com but for stereo gear. A place to design and save my systems, check compatibility, and see exactly how everything works. So I built it.No sign-in required to create builds: just hit "Start Your Build" and add parts. The signal chain diagram updates in real-time as you build and you can run a system evaluation at any time. (Sign in to save, share, fork, or publish your system.)The problem: turntables need phono preamps (sometimes), speakers need proper power matching, digital sources need DACs (sometimes), and on and on. These issues often aren't obvious without going down the rabbit hole of online forums, facebook groups, and reddit threads. Audiophiles can be... prickly. I thinMar 9, 2026 4:40 PM
