Show HN: CtrlTool – 132 free online tools for developers and everyday taskshttps://ctrltool.wtfHey HN, I built CtrlTool because I kept needing small tools for random things and didn't want to install something or sign up for another website. It currently has 132 tools for things like JSON, JWT, Base64, URLs, text, hashes, PDFs, SEO, converters, generators, and other everyday stuff.The main thing I tried to focus on is making the tools fast and simple. For tools where it makes sense, everything runs locally in the browser so the data doesn't need to be uploaded to a server.It's still very new, so I'm mostly looking for feedback on the UX, which tools are actually useful, and what you think is missing.https://ctrltool.wtfWould appreciate any feedback.

Show HN: Hands-Rust MCP/CLI that sees the Windows desktop and clicks real Chromehttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49405405I built Hands because I wanted a coding agent to use this Windows PC and a real Chrome profile the way I do: look at the screen, move the real mouse, type, click , without turning Chrome into an automation browser.It is a Rust MCP/CLI. A harness (Grok, Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode, etc.) calls tools like observe, click, type, scroll. Observe is a screenshot path plus a small element list (UIA + optional Chrome DOM ids). Click is OS SendInput on a Bézier path, not a Chrome DevTools click.There is no Playwright, no Puppeteer, no remote debugging port. Daily Chrome is launched with no extra flags, or attached if it’s already open. Sites that key on CDP/automation flags mostly don’t see that. They can still see injected input (LLMHF_INJECTED).A tiny unpacked Chrome extension can fuse page structure (chr: ids, listing cards) so the model isn’t guessing from pixels. Sideload is manual. Fusion dies if the service worker goes inactive; reload the card.What it is good for: personal research on

Show HN: Active Source of Truth for Your Coding Agentshttps://meetless.aiHowdy! Happy Saturday everyone!As a solo founder, I have always tried to maximize my speed by letting coding agents build as much as possible in parallel. However, as an engineer, I don't trust that AI will always make the right decisions and work with the right context. In the past, I always needed to click through my sessions to glance at the AI's output, try to understand what it was doing, and hopefully steer it or stop it in time.As a result, the maximum number of concurrent sessions I could manage at once was only 4. I didn't want to be the bottleneck, so I built Meetless Agent (MLA). It basically does what I had to do manually before:- Monitors the coding agent's tasks and actions to supply it with the correct, up-to-date context.- Continuously reconciles running information (such as provided/tagged documentation, the agent's output, and the agent's decisions) to actively maintain the source of truth at all times.- Keeps track of the current rules for the repo, and if an action

Show HN: Oxbow, a dynamic tiling window manager for the Wayland compositor Riverhttps://oxbow-wm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/It's inspired by dwm, but it's configured via an ipc/init script, like river-classic, which makes it a bit easier to get into/test. Specifically, it has:- Tags: Group windows with tag sets, per-tag layouts, and operations on tags.- Layouts: dwm-like tiling, niri-ish scrolling in four orientations, “alt-tab” overview, and pure floating.- Windows: Scratchpads, sticky windows, user labels, window swallowing, and drag with retile.- Rules: Regex window matching to configure initial tags, output, floating, size, and presentation.- IPC: Control windows, configure tags, query objects, and subscribe to events.Maybe you'll use it, or it inspires you to write your own (since River does all the hard stuff) :DRiver: https://codeberg.org/river/riverOther River Window Managers: https://codeberg.org/river/wiki/src/branch/main/pages/wm-lis...

Where are people finding GPU capacity?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49403759Is it just me or is GPU capacity surprisingly hard to find right now , even in Spot pools? I’ve been trying to get H100s and the Spot pools I’ve checked are pretty much always full.I ended up trying MI350/MI355s on DigitalOcean Spot and have been running them for about a week without getting interrupted. Curious if anyone else has tried them? How often are you actually getting reclaimed?Also, where are you guys finding capacity these days?

Ask HN: How does a theory of simulated reality not undermine itself?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49402696Bostrom’s and other popular arguments for simulation theory seem to rely heavily of the premise “post human civilizations could run vast numbers of ancestor simulations.” and makes probabilistic assertions with that in mind. However, those premises come from our physics and computer science. If the conclusion is true, that physics describes the simulation, not the substrate, so we have no basis for the feasibility claim about the base level nor the basis to distinguish artifacts of a non simulated physical environment from a simulated physical environment. The argument undermines the foundation it builds upon. Bostrom is certainly smarter than I am but I can’t get past this obvious non starter.

Show HN: Make your logo extra bright on HDR screenshttps://www.soverybright.com/Certain logos started standing out to me on LinkedIn as brighter/whiter than everything else around them.I dug in and found out this is accomplished by adding a gain-map to an existing JPEG, visible only on HDR screens like a newer MacBook Pro. LinkedIn is the only social network I've found that isn't stripping them out, but of course you serve them up on your own site.I worked with Claude Code to turn it into a little browser-based utility (no registration) and hope you find it useful!
