Show HN: Wirewright, an experimental symbolic physics environmenthttps://github.com/wirewright/wirewrightThe idea with Wirewright is to treat programs and algorithms as physical mechanisms, as machines or societies of machines inhabiting an immutable symbolic world, and time-step the latter to see what happens. This last part in particular reminds me of cellular automata.Said differently, in Wirewright, programs are modeled as "nouns" or "societies" of interacting "nouns" (think data structures). The world is then subjected to laws of physics -- symbolic physics; which is the only "verb" here (think function). Therefore, in Wirewright, we say that, in a sense, algorithm equals structure and the evolution of structure equals computation. I tend to shorten this to "structure is computation", but this may be incorrect if viewed in isolation.Now, I guess you're wondering what Wirewright actually is. In fact, I see the rules here state that I must tell you what Wirewright is, plainly and clearly. I will try, but beware that at the end of the day, I know as little as you do :^) My hands write, Jun 22, 2026 12:15 AM

Ask HN: How do you find new books to read?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48590844I'm looking to update my reading list of 2026 to include anything interesting that was recently, or about to be, published.The internet is of course full of lists about the "most anticipated" or "the hottest" books of the year/summer/etc. But these are not what I'm after.My reading habits are a bit out of sync with the mainstream and rarely feature in lists of most popular books. (If it helps, some of my favorites include Apple in China, The Chip War, Spec Ops [by McRaven], and Chokepoints.)I thought Goodreads would be the place to find stuff like that but was shockingly lacking.How do you guys find (good) books to read?Jun 18, 2026 8:10 PM

Show HN: Pacwich – lightweight new monorepo tooling on top of Bun, NPM, or pnpmhttps://pacwich.dev/I developed a package simply called bun-workspaces that worked on top of Bun workspaces directly with zero required config, using plain package.json scripts for orchestration.I have re-developed this package into pacwich, which supports Bun, npm, or pnpm. I decided it would be a better direction for it to be decoupled from a particular package manager, so it needed a new name (but I wanted to keep my logo).I write about the development strategy and my engineering philosophy (including disclosing the manner in which AI assists and my approach to not vibing this) in the Security page and the launch blog post about the pivot, which I linked on the home page in the note about the bun-workspaces migration.More is to come, including a way to compose scripts into more complex workflows rather than running one named script in parallel/series.Jun 16, 2026 8:38 PM

Show HN: Kintsugi – a local-first safety net for AI agents and humanshttps://github.com/arrowassassin/kintsugiAI coding agents now run real shell commands on your machine — rm -rf, git push --force, DROP TABLE, dd, writes straight to disk. Almost always that's fine. The one time it isn't (a hallucinated path, a prompt-injected instruction, a confident wrong guess) there's no undo and you find out after.Kintsugi sits between the agent and your system. It catches the dangerous command before it runs, explains it in one plain sentence, makes destructive actions reversible with a snapshot, and writes every command every agent ran to an append-only, hash-chained log you own. Local-first: no cloud, no account, nothing leaves the machine.It's not only for AI. A passive bash/zsh recorder (no agent involved) puts every command a person runs on the same tamper-evident log and snapshots the destructive ones just-in-time — so `kintsugi undo` rolls back a DBA's fat-fingered rm -rf or clobbering overwrite the same way it rolls back an agent's.

Show HN: Babysit – let coding agents operate a TUIhttps://github.com/yusukeshib/babysitI've been trying to automate my work recently, but I ofeten encounter the situation where agents needs human intervention to complete the task. So I made a simple command that wraps a TUI called babysit that has a terminal emulator inside using pty. Agents can start commands in background, and they can ask human by attaching the TUI on a new tmux pane when human intervention is needed, or they can operate the TUI with screenshot/send/expect/wait commands. So far, I really like using it, and I wanted to share it here.https://github.com/yusukeshib/babysitJun 16, 2026 12:53 PM
