Show HN: Common Ground. A culture neutral daily word puzzlehttps://commonground.games/Hi! I have built Common Ground, a word puzzle that tries to not use groups or words that are specific to a particular cultures.Why? In word puzzles I keep hitting the problem that some word puzzles rely US specific knowledge (sports teams, slang, etc) that would make it hard for a non-US English speaker to solve.The game is sorting 16 words into 4 groups of 4 related words. There is a new puzzle every day. It's free, with no sign up, no ads.The tech stack is all on Cloudflare: Pages, Workers KV & D1. KV for the daily game catalog, D1 for anonymously tracking progress to understand puzzle difficulty.It's still early days, and I am calibrating the puzzles each week to try to hit a sweet spot. Some days are too hard, some too easy, most about right!I'd be interested to hear what you think, from design to difficulty of puzzles and groups (no spoilers!).Today: https://commonground.gamesJul 29, 2026 1:29 PM

Show HN: Cadence Money – a budgeting app with no AI features, just an MCP serverhttps://www.cadencemoney.comI thought I could make a personal finance app that was simpler, smarter and more privacy-focused than Monarch, YNAB and Copilot. I believe I have, but today that's up to you.While the classic story of using a variety of "analog" tools to manage money does apply to me, the main pillars that pushed me to build Cadence Money were:- Pay for the level of syncing that's used including none- No built-in AI- Fully cross-platform including mobile browsers- Passkeys available day one- Proper Canadian support- No ads even for a bookAfter seven years at 1Password as a Lead PM, I can safely say working on Cadence has been the most fulfilling part of my career. Really thankful for friends, family, and now strangers for helping shape Cadence. It has every feature we needed, and nothing we didn't. I also created an MCP server so you can choose how much AI you want in your finances. Read-only at this point, but open to adding write access in the future to clean up CSV imports.

Spin audit of SQD/QSCI quantum-chemistry benchmarks on iron–sulfur clustershttps://zenodo.org/records/21359923Author here.Background, for anyone who hasn't followed this fight: IBM's iron–sulfur SQD results (Sci. Adv. 2025) are one of the flagship "quantum computers are useful for chemistry now" claims, and a published critique (arXiv:2501.07231) argues the quantum samples never beat classical selected-CI at matched cost. That argument is still live.Both sides have been arguing about energies. Neither measured which electronic state these calculations actually converge to.So I measured it. ⟨S²⟩ comes out between 4.7 and 7.0 depending on the system and the subspace size, where the target these papers name is a singlet at ⟨S²⟩ = 0. Every starting guess I tried lands in the same place, and the error at convergence is about the size of the spin-state ladder itself, which is the physics under dispute.IBM ships a mitigation for this. Run exactly as shipped, using their driver, their recovery loop and their own spin_square() diagnostic, it moves the ground energy by under a nanohartree while making tJul 29, 2026 1:13 PM

Show HN: PriEco (open source, 400M index, EU search engine) integrated Goggleshttps://prieco.net/Back in 2021 I wanted to switch away from Google and try alternatives. To my disappointment they were... not great. I took a way of comparing qualities and disadvantages of each web search engine back then. What I discovered I cared about the most was privacy (like DuckDuckGo), ecology (Ecosia) and Google index (likely to signal quality of results, Startpage). To my disappointment there wasn't a single one that I could find that offered all 3 of these qualities. After a long time of deciding if and how I could build my own web search engine I decided to do it.At first, for 4 years, it was just a private and ecological meta search engine. But I didn't have the money to grow user base while relying on 3rd party APIs to deliver results. I had to create own index. I spent 1.5 years on web crawler, made from scratch in Rust btw. As soon as it was done it was able to deliver me 15M results a day on 200Mb/s download bandwidth. Which I'd say is competitive, especially as my next developmental Jul 29, 2026 1:05 PM

Ask HN: Crazy as a Service – does it exist?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49096535Can someone please create CRAZY as a Service!For those old enough to remember MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction), it is time to become CRAZY (Cyber Recursive Annihilation, Zeroing Yottabtyes of data) - the digital successor.Being able to ensure that if our data is deleted, then the data of our enemies is also deleted _without_ us doing anything.This sounds crazy but so was MAD. I wonder whether the various secret services around the world are already working on such systems and whether the next Unicorn startup could be a AI-driven predictive preemptive protection service. The idea would be to delete the data of our enemies before they can delete our data based on predictive AI.That is, to delete our enemies data just before they think of deleting our data. And that's were the (holistic) predictive AI comes in: to predict when our enemies _thinks_ of deleting our data.Instructive for such an endeavor would be Dr. Strangelove.Jul 29, 2026 12:22 PM

Show HN: Experiments with Weather Datahttps://strataweather.com/mapI had been wanting to try experimenting with nowcasting since the death of Dark Sky and finally got around to it. This application essentially became a playground for me to experiment with various weather datasets and geospatial visualizations.Some interesting concepts that came from it:The nowcast is using pySTEPS optical flow under the hood: https://pysteps.readthedocs.io/en/latest/auto_examples/plot_.... This library is super cool. It bugged me that every radar visualization just gave you choppy snapshots in time, so I spent some time working on building a smooth interpolation. The backend passes keyframes along with motion data from the optical flow analysis and then has a custom WebGL shader to do the interpolation which lets you scrub the timeline and have a smooth interpolation.The other forecast tiles and the main weather page are using the average of many different weather models. You can see every model that factors in on the models page: https://strataweather.com/models. ThiJul 29, 2026 11:52 AM

When an item wears out, I can't buy the exact same one anymore. It's been discontinued. Or it has been changed while keeping only the same name.2 I assume this isn't only my problem. I've heard many stories about people not being able to buy the same shoes, T-shirt, perfume, or jacket again.3 I understand why manufacturers do this. I have no questions for them. What matters more to me here is us — customers, or simply people. And I started wondering: what could be done to support a customer's choice for years?4 This is where I want to bring concepts from software and hardware engineering into the clothing industry — LTS and APIs. What if we freeze the standard and support it? We already have things like SATA or CPU sockets. Why not build a similar concept for clothing? Then the API at the point of contact with the customer is divided into a physically immutable part (color, material, design) and a flexible part (logistiJul 29, 2026 10:30 AM
