Launch HN: Discovered Materials (YC P26) – AI agents to discover new materialshttps://discoveredmaterials.com/research/Hey HN, we're Advaith and Akash from Discovered Materials ( https://discoveredmaterials.com/ ). We build AI agents that discover new materials for the semiconductor industry.GPUs today have a heat problem. Nvidia & AMD are almost doubling the TDP (Thermal Design Power) in every chip they release - the H100 (released 2022) has a TDP of 700W, Blackwell (2024) gives out 1.2 kW and Rubin (2026) gives out at 2.3 kW of heat. This trend is expected to continue, and getting rid of this heat is one of the major reasons datacenters consume so much power and water today - they need it to keep chips cool during operation.The amount of heat produced by a chip and its ability to dissipate it are both influenced by the materials used to make it. For example, we could reduce the energy per bit required to move data between logic and memory by 10-50x by 3D packaging chips (placing HBM memory stacks directly on top of logic chips, instead of placing them beside logic on a 2D circuit board). However, we'Aug 12, 2026 7:51 AM

Becerra, Hilton offer promises on AI, gas prices, healthcare — and starkly contrasting viewshttps://www.latimes.com/california/story/2026-08-11/becerra-hilton-california-governor-newsomThe two candidates for California governor came to Sacramento offering policy agendas that were both sweeping and vague. Both were quick to belittle the promises by their rival.Aug 12, 2026 3:50 AM

Show HN: Kernelspace- interactive course on systems programming for LLM Servinghttps://kernelspace.naigap.com/Hi HN,*I* built kernelspace - a free and interactive course that takes a backend engineer (like me) with java/python experience to the systems level required to work on LLM serving at scale. (Mostly an attempt for me to understand what everyone's talking about lately and also an attempt at staying up to date to current tech - career wise).It has: 1. 68 Lessons across 9 tracks, with a rust-from-zero ramp. 2. 8 rust labs - BPE tokenizer, KV block manager, radix cache, batching scheduler, a toy executor 3. 9 simulators running in browser (wasm) - roofline model, KV cache pressure, continuous batching dynamics 4. Fleet week - a simulated prod serving fleetAll progresss is local - there is no server (it's served from github pages, repo here https://github.com/praveer13/kernelspace)Feedback appreciated, and contributions welcome. I want to make this a really good course for me (and everyone else like me).* (OK, I had sol and kimi on it for most part)Aug 12, 2026 1:20 AM

Show HN: Argmin, challenges for optimizing hard problemshttps://argmin.devI want to share a project I've been working on called argmin.dev. It's a platform for hard optimization problems where a solution can be checked deterministically.For a bit of background, I've always found these types of problems interesting. The really difficult optimization problems where techniques like gradient decent don't work, or where even finding a feasible solution is difficult (e.g. square packing). I've worked on these independently for fun and have created this project as a way to share the problems I find interesting with the community. I am curious to see how far others can push these.Each challenge is defined by its verifier, a program that will enforce the constraints, and evaluate the objective function. The verifiers are open-source per challenge, so users can check their solutions against it before submitting. The platform keeps a record of submissions and will update the leaderboard each time someone finds a new record. Because the verifier is the spec, any loopholAug 11, 2026 4:51 PM

Show HN: Pickle – token efficient AI agent browser with policy-gated actionshttps://picklebrowser.com/I use agents for a lot of my own work, but whenever they access my browser they end up wasting a lot of tokens reading HTML, so I tried building a browser that simplifies webpage content for them.Pickle is an agent browser and it has all the features a regular browser has (tabs, search history, bookmarks, etc.), but pages load as compact structured data instead of raw HTML to reduce token usage.Overview for those curious:It's policy-gated (blocked domains, actions that need approval like purchases) and every action is logged, so you're always able to see what your agent is doing and can take over at any time.It's also compatible with weaker/local models as it auto-routes by model strength. i.e. small local models are limited to picking actions one step at a time so they don't hallucinate actions or make up element IDs. Stronger models can plan multiple steps ahead.On the token compression side, I've been seeing around 32x less token usage.Other useful features: - shared notebook that yAug 11, 2026 3:43 PM

Launch HN: Keet (YC S24) – An app to create video courses on anythinghttps://www.trykeet.com/Hi HN! We’re Zack and Tommy the Co-Founders of Keet (https://trykeet.com). We are building a mobile app that generates courses on any topic, with short videos for explanation and games for reinforcement. Courses mirror a real curriculum to help you learn over an extended period of time.Tommy and I met in linear algebra class in college and spent the next 4 years taking classes together. Our friendship was formed around learning new things. In school, someone else designs the curriculum, delivers the content, and writes the assessments. All you have to do is show up. Learning without this structure was frustrating, and there was a lot of friction to get started.Zack has a coffee obsession and struggled to assemble youtube videos, conversations with ChatGPT, and the books he was reading into a coherent understanding of all of the different variables that go into brewing a cup of coffee. His attempts gave him the freedom to follow his curiosity, but the instructional design was difficult.Aug 11, 2026 2:48 PM
