Show HN: I built a RAG engine to search Singaporean lawshttps://github.com/adityaprasad-sudo/Explore-SingaporeI built a "Triple Failover" RAG for Singapore Laws, then rewrote the logic based on your feedback.Hi everyone!I’m a student developer. Recently, I created Explore Singapore, a RAG-based search engine that scrapes about 20,000 pages of Singaporean government acts and laws.I recently posted the MVP and received some tough but essential feedback about hallucinations and query depth. I took that feedback, focused on improvements, and just released Version 2.Here is how I upgraded the system from a basic RAG to a production-grade one.The Design & UI I aimed to avoid a dull government website.Design: Heavily inspired by Apple’s minimalist style.Tech: Custom frontend interacting with a Python backend.The V2 Engineering OverhaulThe community challenged me on three main points. Here’s how I addressed them:1. The "Personality" Fix Issue: I use a "Triple Failover" system with three models as backup. When the main model failed, the backups sounded entirely different.The Solution: I added Dynamic S

Show HN: Small "AI slop" classifier running in a browser extensionhttps://github.com/distil-labs/distil-ai-slop-detectorWe used our distillation platform & a Kaggle dataset to produce a tiny (270M Gemma base) model to classify text into "AI slop"/not classes.It's fun to play with and was fun to build, too.Annoyingly formal, human-written text (e.g. an ML paper I wrote back in 2015) tends to get misclassified (try "Manipulated images lose believability if the user's edits fail to account for shadows. We propose a method that makes removal and editing of soft shadows easy. Soft shadows are ubiquitous, but remain notoriously difficult to extract and manipulate. We posit that soft shadows can be segmented, and therefore edited, by learning a mapping function for image patches that generates shadow mattes. We validate this premise by removing soft shadows from photographs with only a small amount of user input").

Even as a fast dev, I wasn't fast enough for my ideas. Then came Vibe Codinghttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46877447The Speed Trap of Modern DevI’ve always been a fast developer. I know my stack, I know my shortcuts. But there was still a painful latency between my mental architecture and the screen. My ideas always outpaced my output. No matter how fast I typed, the "Implementation Friction" was a tax on my creativity.The 10x Shift: Moving at the Speed of ThoughtVibe Coding didn't just make me "better" — it removed the mechanical bottleneck. I’m no longer translating thoughts into code; I’m describing the vibe of the system and watching it manifest.The Result: I’m building things alone that previously required a dedicated team or a month-long sprint.The High: The dopamine hit isn't just about "it works." It’s the rush of zero latency. It's the feeling of your brain being directly plugged into the compiler.The "Dark Side" of Hyper-FlowBut here’s the rub: When you remove the friction, you remove the "sanity check."The Addiction: The feedback loop is so fast that it becomes a slot machine.

Show HN: Homomorphically Encrypted Vector Databasehttps://github.com/cloneisyou/HEVECAs personal AI agents like OpenClaw become more powerful by leveraging intimate user data, privacy has emerged as a fundamental bottleneck.We’re releasing HEVEC, a vector database built on homomorphic encryption, enabling end-to-end privacy with real-time search at scale.HEVEC is designed as a drop-in alternative to plaintext vector databases and supports real-time encrypted search at scale (1M vectors in ~187 ms).Key points: - A secure, drop-in alternative to plaintext vector databases - End-to-end homomorphic encryption for both data and queries - Real-time encrypted search at scale (1M vectors in 187 ms)As personal AI agents become deeply personalized, data ownership must belong to users.HEVEC enforces this through privacy-by-design architecture.We’d appreciate feedback from the AI, systems, and privacy communities.

The Perception War: How Artemis II Could Win the Race Without Landinghttps://www.spacedaily.com/reports/The_Perception_War_How_Artemis_II_Could_Win_the_Race_Without_Landing_999.htmlNew York NY (SPX) Jan 31, 2026 As NASA counts down toward humanity's first crewed lunar mission in more than half a century, a question beyond engineering is taking shape: Can a flight that never touches the surface still define who "wins" the Second Moon Race? The answer lies not in propulsion equations or landing dynamics, but in the realm where space programs have always competed most fiercely-perception, prestige, and the stories nations tell about themselves.

Show HN: I turned my PDFs into audiobooks I can have conversations withhttps://asktotle.comHey HN,TLDR: Upload any document, get an audiobook with synced highlighting you can pause and talk to.I'm a self-taught dev (admittedly mediocre), currently between jobs and my brain is absolutely fried from social media. I can't read anymore. My eyes glaze over after two paragraphs.So I went down a rabbit hole looking for scientifically proven ways to actually focus while reading:- Encoding info visually AND aurally reduces mind wandering by up to 40% - Retrieval practice (asking questions) beats passive re-reading every time - Background music matched to content keeps you in flowCouldn't find anything that did all this. So I built it myself:- Synced text highlighting while you listen - Talk with your book; pause and ask "wait what does that mean?" and it knows exactly where you are (won't spoil what's ahead) - Adaptive background music that matches the mood of each pageI've removed all slop. No flashy features, no gamification etc. etc. Just reading on steroids for fried brains, like

Show HN: Self-hosted RAG with MCP support for OpenClawhttps://github.com/2dogsandanerd/ClawRagI've been using OpenClaw to control my home server via WhatsApp, but it couldn't access my documents. Instead of uploading my private contracts to OpenAI, I built ClawRAG – a self-hosted RAG engine that connects to OpenClaw via MCP (Model Context Protocol). Now I can ask "What did the contract say about liability?" and get cited answers, not hallucinations.Most RAG systems are either too complex for a solo dev's home setup or they rely on cloud-hosted vector stores. I needed something that runs in a single Docker container, understands messy PDFs (tables!), and integrates natively as a "tool" for agents rather than just another REST endpoint.## Technical Deep Dive### Why MCP instead of REST? I chose the Model Context Protocol (MCP) because it provides structured schemas that LLMs understand natively. The MCP server exposes `query_knowledge` as a tool, allowing the agent to decide exactly when to pull from the knowledge base vs. when to use its built-in memory. It prevents "tool-drift"

Show HN: Perspectives – I wanted AI to challenge my thinking, not validate ithttps://getperspectives.appI built Perspectives because I got tired of ChatGPT agreeing with everything I said.Ask any LLM to "consider multiple perspectives" and you get hedged consensus. The model acknowledges trade-offs exist, then settles on a moderate position that offends nobody. Useful for summaries. Useless for decision making.Perspectives forces disagreement. 8 personas with fundamentally incompatible frameworks debate your question through a structured protocol, then vote using Single Transferable Vote to surface where they actually land. The output is a PDF report synthesising all of it.How it worksBlind Proposals: Each persona generates a position without seeing the others. This prevents the "anchoring problem" where early responses shape later ones, bypassing the default sycophancy of LLMs.Interrogation of Blind Proposals: Proposals face structured challenges from 3 opposing personas. A "high-empathy" persona (e.g., The Idealist) will be challenged by a "low-empathy" cluster (e.g., The Pragmatist).

Show HN: I built a GPT that breaks logic into jokeshttps://humoropedia.com/I always loved comedy and humor in all their manifestations. I always loved comedy movies and standup routines. I also truly believed - and still believe - that laughter is an excellent medicine, not the best medicine though.That love for humor led me to the creation of Humoropedia.com. At its height of popularity, it was receiving about 200 thousand visitors a month, mostly from Google Search.Now that we have entered an age of AI - for better or worse, who knows - I decided that Humoropedia.com should become AI-enabled because these days you can be either AI-disabled or AI-enabled. So I chose to make Humoropedia.com AI-enabled, or at least as AI-enabled as a GPT Builder would allow me.That's how Humoropedia GPT was born.
