Show HN: OzBrain, a shared brain for knowledge between agents and your teamhttps://ozbrain.comI think agent-first chat interfaces will be a primary software modality and busy dashboard/UI will go away. I’m not sure who exactly wins it, but I want my knowledge to grow/go with me.A lot of the “knowledge” ie research, analysis, reasoning will be done by agents as the primary user. Our current notes tools & tasks management systems were built for humans… I don’t care what the 17th thing on my bug backlog is. I want to conduct agents that can execute for me and do great work.What I built OzBrain to do: + Create a central place for agent reasoned knowledge to live + Be agnostic about what apps/agents connect to it + Capture everything and track it so I can audit it + Enable teams, collaborators or partners to share brains + Handle conflicts so many agents in the same article doesn’t blow up + Refactor knowledge into more token friendly chunks and map the index well + Close the knowledge loop so new thinking supersedes old thinking across the corpus. Don’t erase, depreciate and link +

HoverAir’s transforming modular drone has already been halted in the UShttps://www.theverge.com/tech/983500/hoverair-versa-halted-us-fcc-drone-ban-indiegogoI am so sorry, fellow US gadget fans: the FCC's drone ban appears to have struck again.

Show HN: Zroar – Serialized Roaring Bitmaps in Zighttps://github.com/manishrjain/zroarzroar is a ground-up implementation of Roaring Bitmaps data structure in Zig. zroar stores both the keys and (array, bitmap) containers in a single flat byte buffer, making the in-memory representation equal to the on-disk or over-the-network representation, eliminating the serialization/deserialization step entirely.The design was originally aimed at systems which keep their posting lists on disk, but zroar performs faster than CRoaring even for purely in-memory ops, due to CPU cache locality.Against CRoaring 5.0's benchmarking suite (ported to Zig), zroar is faster in 339 out of 360 tests, being 2x-9x faster (geometric mean), and up to 600x faster on serialize/deserialize.zroar avoids complex mechanism (like adaptive radix trees), uses Zig native SIMD ops and is simpler. The main logic is written in ~2000 lines of code, while CRoaring's 64-bit bitmap codebase is over 17000 LOC.Not yet: By choice, zroar doesn't support run containers, and is 64-bit only.There are more details in the G

In response, Netanyahu's office called Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan an "anti-Semitic dictator" and vowed to "act forcefully against Turkey's attempts to destabilise the region".

Show HN: Visual way to understand things in parallelhttps://wondering.app/canvasHey HN!Really excited to be showing what I think is a better way to understand complex topics with AI.You start a chat with your question, and whenever you want to clarify something or understand some jargon, you can branch out a new chat from that thread.The cool unlock is being able to see all related chat threads in the same context without tab switching, for e.g. I can first dive into understanding world models, then spin a new chat thread on who the key players are in there, and another asking what's the frontier with this stuff.The responses are also not just a wall of text. They're: - Filled with interactive diagrams and visuals - Super fastAnd for those curious, this is how we built it: - React Flow (@xyflow/react) for the canvas - React Components for interactive diagrams - GPT Image 2 for image generations - Gemini 3.5 Flash Lite for super fast response - Parallelization whenever possible to keep things fastYou can also highlight and add notes :)Try it out and let me know wha

Ask HN: Combining Healthcare and Software Engineering into a Careerhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49390762I'm a former software engineer (self-taught) who is currently in school studying Kinesiology. I plan on going to graduate school for Occupational Therapy or Physical Therapy. Before starting school, I gained a few years of experience working with disabled children. I decided to pursue OT/PT because I very much enjoy working with disabled populations, but want more autonomy to actually make decisions that impact their well being.Despite all of this (and a rocky resume), I still feel like programming is a part of me and is something I find enjoyable as a discipline.Has anyone successfully made a career combining healthcare and software engineering? How did you do it?

Show HN: Steganeur – Hide secret messages in LLM-generated text (Rust)https://github.com/marcsnid/steganeurHi HN! I made a project that I found really fun and I'm proud of the idea and implementation. This first came up when speaking to a friend, we were talking around how to do steganography in natural text, and realized an LLM's token choices are a natural channel.Steganeur accomplishes this by encoding a secret message into the token choices of a language model, producing cover text that reads like a normal sentence. A recipient recovers the message using only the cover text and the model. With the rejection method, the output is statistically identical to normal generation, not just something that looks similar.The interesting problem I hit: steganeur reads the model's logprobs directly, and three of the four methods need them to come out exactly the same on encode and decode. On GPU reductions are non-deterministic, so the logprobs drift between runs, which is enough to corrupt the bits. Only one method (block) survives on GPU, because it bins tokens by their id rather than by probabil
