Show HN: Dwrite.me A minimalist writing space that blocks copypaste to fight AIhttps://dwrite.meLately, the internet has started to feel loud, yet incredibly empty. Every time I browse Google, Medium, or news portals, I run into articles that feel "too perfect." The structure is flawless, the grammar is impeccable, but there is absolutely no soul in them.We all know why. It’s AI.As a developer, I love technology. But as a human, I’ve started to crave writing that has "scars"—writing that has emotion, rhythm, and is actually born from someone’s messy brain, not a polished prompt.That’s why I built dwrite.me.An Internet That’s Too Fast My frustration is simple: We live in an age where everything is expected to be instant. Need a 2,000-word article? One click. Need an opinion? Ask a chatbot.But here’s the problem: If everyone is using AI to write, why should we bother reading each other at all? We aren't exchanging thoughts anymore; we are just swapping machine-processed data. Our way of thinking is becoming lazy. We no longer value the "friction" of struggling to find the right worFeb 9, 2026 5:03 AM

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").Feb 4, 2026 4:57 PM

Show HN: OpenSymbolicAI – Agents with typed variables, not just context stuffinghttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46876687Hi HN,We've spent the last year building AI agents and kept hitting the same wall: prompt engineering doesn't feel like software engineering. It feels like guessing.We built OpenSymbolicAI to turn agent development into actual programming. It is an open-source framework (MIT) that lets you build agents using typed primitives, explicit decompositions, and unit tests.THE MAIN PROBLEM: CONTEXT WINDOW ABUSEMost agent frameworks (like ReAct) force you to dump tool outputs back into the LLM's context window to decide the next step.Agent searches DB.Agent gets back 50kb of JSON.You paste that 50kb back into the prompt just to ask "What do I do next?"This is slow, expensive, and confuses the model.THE SOLUTION: DATA AS VARIABLESIn OpenSymbolicAI, the LLM generates a plan (code) that manipulates variables. The actual heavy data (search results, PDF contents, API payloads) is stored in the Python/runtime variables and is never passed through the LLM context until a specific primitive actually neFeb 3, 2026 8:19 PM

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.Feb 3, 2026 5:25 PM

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.Feb 3, 2026 4:52 AM

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, likeFeb 2, 2026 11:49 AM
