Show HN: Keen Code – an agentic-engineered coding agenthttps://github.com/mochow13/keen-codeHello community!I am here to share a coding agent I have built solo from scratch using agentic engineering. Written in Go, it's a proper coding agent, has features you expect from a useful agent for your daily work, with a minimal and simple UI.I have named it Keen Code. The repo is here: https://github.com/mochow13/keen-codeEven though it started as an experiment, it is now a full-fledged coding agent for real software engineering work. It supports multiple providers, skills, MCPs, multi-agent orchestration through subagents, automatic compaction, etc.I have been using it for real production-grade work myself, and also for developing itself.Notably, I have worked on two separate ideas in this coding agent:1. Turn MemoryIn a multi-turn conversation, tool outputs are removed, only tool call traces are retained. Within a single agent loop, agent sees full tool results but in the next turn, it doesn't see the tool results anymore.The greatest benefit of this approach is that a lot of toolAug 10, 2026 9:47 PM

Show HN: Fun Web page 3D visualization of laundry room statushttps://www.aisloperator.com/brickoven-estates-laundry-room/By default, this shows simulated data. It can show real data, but we don't want to hug-of-death the laundry company IoT.Click on a machine, to see how the apartment building attendant responds to people leaving their laundry for hours in high-contention machines.This was a collaboration with Claude Code. Sometimes Claude wasted time frustratingly, sometimes Claude saved lots of time. The end product is good enough, the Easter eggs were fun, and it was completed in less time than I could've done it myself.Aug 10, 2026 9:07 PM

How ESA mimics and models the 2026 total solar eclipsehttps://www.esa.int/Enabling_Support/Space_Engineering_Technology/How_ESA_mimics_and_models_the_2026_total_solar_eclipseOn 12 August 2026, parts of Europe will experience a total solar eclipse. With the Sun's bright disc covered, its surrounding atmosphere – the solar corona – will become visible to the naked eye. Unfortunately, total solar eclipses are rare and last at most a few minutes, giving scientists little time to study the Sun’s enigmatic halo.Aug 10, 2026 11:59 AM

Ask HN: Is this normal HN ranking?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49239107I came back looking for a TechCrunch story about SV undermining democracy [0], and was surprised to find it had already dropped off the front page.Found it on page 2, but it's ranking was lower (44) than articles that it should seemingly outrank—based on comments (211), points (247) and time posted (12 hours ago). See screenshot [1].For instance, at 38 is an older article with only 3 comments and 29 points.At 41 was a significantly older article with only 38 comments and 125 points.So, this article is ranking lower than even a much older article with roughly half the votes and ~5.5x fewer comments.Is there some other "bonus" or penalty for articles (beyond those that are overtly problematic per HN guidelines)?[0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49232221[1] https://imgur.com/a/t4Cn2FiAug 10, 2026 4:07 AM

AI Video Taking over YouTubehttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49224311I was just casually browsing youtube yesterday and noticed a very interesting video about some robot rabbits being used to capture everglade pythons. Started watching - the narrative was very engaging - done by someone in first person who looked like an experienced wildlife researcher and the story narrated through appropriately placed clips of huge pythons and robot bunnies.Watched for around 2 mins of the 10 min long clip - and then it suddenly hit me like a rock - the entire video was AI. The narrator, the voice over, the python clips - all of it was generated by AI. And I pride myself on someone who can spot AI from a mile away, but this was shockingly good.I hit the comments and there it was. Not a single comment reporting this as AI. Showed it to a friend and he couldn't believe it either.And then today. It happenned again. Entirely different topic - Goldman Sachs abandoning New York because of Mamdani. Deep, engaging, first person narration. But everything was AI, and no one seeAug 8, 2026 6:11 PM

Countries, $100k Savings: Where should I live?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49223036Dear All,This may sound weird, and sorry for asking it. I have immense indecision due to childhood trauma and cannot decide on something. I'm 36, M, single, living with my parents in Turkey. I work 100% remotely with a shitty-paying, not-so-demanding job. I'm Turkish and also have Portuguese and Albanian residency. I have dependency issues with my parents which I need to eventually break, but a part of me doesn't want to. I'm emotionally immature due to severe childhood trauma, but I try to function at my best in life.So the dilemma is: where to live? All options work for me actually, so for me the decision ain't loud and clear. My choices are buying (or renting) an apartment for myself either in my home city or any other city (I already have an apartment in my home city that is rented out, paying me around 500 EUR). Or, moving to Portugal to keep my residency active and working the 1300 EUR-paying job from there, where I can either rent or buy property (if I sell my apartment in TurkeAug 8, 2026 4:00 PM
