Show HN: Decoding the Language Machine – AI video series and CC repohttps://github.com/SkepticCTO/decoding_the_language_machineHi HN! I released 3 parts of an educational video series (out of 6 planned), paired with a GitHub repository containing scripts and artifacts (released under Creative Commons).- Main Site: https://skepticcto.com/ (includes related AI news articles)- Code/Artifacts: https://github.com/SkepticCTO/decoding_the_language_machine- YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@SkepticCTOI’m a 21-year CTO, Ph.D. in CS (U Penn, 1999 in computer vision and ML), and a PI in the NIST AI Safety Initiative Consortium. I spent a 4-month sabbatical making this because I wanted to demystify how LLMs work through a historical perspective (starting in 1948 with Claude Shannon) and scientific skepticism.The project is old enough to be fleshed out, but young enough to be able to pivot. Is it useful? What would you like to see? I look forward to questions and feedback.

Why codex /goal fails on complex workflows: compaction amnesia and context rothttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48275853Hi HN,When Openai released `/goal` earlier this month, I was really excited to try it for long-horizon tasks. But after using it, it didn't blow me away and i did some digging and found a major architectural flaw when using it for complex multi-issue workflows: context rot.This isn't anything new, but given how openai positioned this feature to developers, i was let down by how they'd implemented context management.Though /goal is a step forward in long-horizon coding, it lacks task decomposition and proper handling of context - it uses a multi-tier approach that includes persistent context chaining (PCC) to memory, local vector embeddings for RAG, sliding windows, and compaction.In principle, giving codex a directive of `/goal work towards closing my open issues on github` should work but this specific execution model hits a fatal wall - Even with massive context windows and RAG, llm reasoning quality degrades significantly beyond 100-150k~ tokens, the agent continues working with wor

Is it too soon to built software factories?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48268815I keep hearing about “software factories” / background coding agents that can autonomously work on production repos. It seems like the capabilities are there, but not sure if we have the right tools yet.There are already some companies providing software for this like ona/factory/codex/claude/cursorOpen-source alternatives - https://github.com/ColeMurray/background-agentsBig companies like stripe/ramp/uber/spotify built their own background-agents infrastructureBut nothing seems to be mature enough to just work fine.

Show HN: Hackobar – One feed for AI newshttps://hackobar.com/Hey HN,Out of frustration of keeping up with AI news, I built hackobar. It fetches the AI related news from multiple sources such as HN, arxiv, github trending repos, huggingface, many ai subreddits, twitter handles that cover AI, Tech news outlets, major ai lab blogs and of course the numerous AI news letters that are growing by day.GitHub trending repos isn't "news" but as an engineer it matters. you can't read every arXiv paper or every HuggingFace drop. HN has the best discussions, Twitter has some, newsletters have some. I used to check 5 places and still felt behind.Building this was fun. I had to face many technical challenges, even though I have used Claude Code to help build I think the decisions I took to mitigate those challenges are interesting and wanted to share with this crowd.1 Fetching: I had to fetch different sources at different rate because fetching some on regular bases didn't make sense. for example, fetching AI labs blogs every few hours does not make sense but

Ask HN: Archiving Family Photos?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48268326Hi, I recently had a family member pass who had three kids with two husbands. This person was the designated "family picture person", and given the family structure, sharing the photos is not going to be as easy as everybody would like it to be. I want to digitally archive all the family photos they had (LOTS of hard copies, probably some negatives, and digital (iphone pics)) and make them available to everybody in the family. I wanted to know if anybody had done something like this and had what worked, didn't work, or what you wish you had done differently, etc.My current gameplan is to:1. Get a high-quality scanner (suggestions?)2. Calibrate it (any tips?)3. Scan photos, potentially negatives as well to TIFF or RAW (any special software? I'm using Linux but would get a new machine if I needed to)4. Also grab the highest-quality copies I can find on their devices, pull photos from their social media if we can't find the original, etc.5. Give files metadata (dates, location, people pho

Launch HN: Chert (YC P26) – Twilio for iMessagehttps://www.trychert.comHey HN! We’re Gary and Ian, and we’re building Chert (https://www.trychert.com/), an API for businesses to send, receive, and automate iMessage conversations at scale. Check out our demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRdwvVxMMoI.We originally started by building products on top of iMessage because the blue bubble interface, typing indicators, and reactions made agentic conversations feel more human than ones on SMS/RCS. These included a one-shot iMessage agent builder that reached 2,000 users in one week and an automated iMessage outbound sequencer that sent thousands of outbound messages per day.The hard part is that iMessage does not have a native API like SMS/RCS. Sending and receiving iMessages requires a separate infrastructure that is difficult to set up and maintain, especially at scale.As we talked to more companies, we realized that the highest-volume use cases for iMessage were not B2C agents or even sales. They were things like customer service, missed-call text-back, car

Ask HN: Encouraging a child's gaming PC build despite fear of gaming addiction?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4826332112yo son is doing dedicated research on gaming PC parts and binge-watches videos on how to build (he's not a native English speaker and has no real electronics skills, so this is quite impressive tbh). Me the dad, however, fears that I'm witnessing a FPS addict being born.What's a good Middle Way here? Kid actually building the machine all by himself -- 100% yes, even if it's quite expensive; kid then Counter Striking, Call of Dutying etc for hours on dat 27" screen -- ugh!What complicates things is that I myself am more of a "computational minimalist" using 15 year old machines in a cli-only environment etc. I've tried to show him That Path also ("dude, here's some Turbo Pascal for ya!"), but, well, obviously he's preferring those addictively engineered and GPU-hungry multiplayer games with his friends any day.He's a good kid all in all, actively engaged in competitive rowing, with good grades etc. Plays chess also (but all the other folks are FPSing or Minecrafting, so there's that).

Instant YouTube channel analysis using public metricshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48243683Hey HN!I’ve been spending a lot of time around creator communities recently, and one thing I kept noticing was how difficult it is for smaller YouTubers to understand their channel growth clearly. Most analytics tools are either overloaded with dashboards, require full account access, or are built mainly for large creators and agencies.So I built AAFY — a simple creator growth companion focused on clarity, privacy, and quick insights.The idea is straightforward: you enter any public YouTube handle (for example @MKBHD), and AAFY analyzes publicly available channel/video data to generate a clean visual review of the channel.The platform currently provides:channel performance summariesvisual growth chartsupload consistency trackingengagement trend analysistime-based performance comparisonsdownloadable PDF reports for review/sharingOne thing I cared about a lot while building this was privacy.
