Show HN: Draw.city – geography game where you circle the target population [US]https://draw.city/The core idea is, you draw a circle on a satellite view map and it tells you the population inside + more info.The home page is a daily challenge, I've backfilled some "past challenges" so there's more than just the past couple of days to play, and there is also a free-draw mode that tells you population + some census demographic info & points-of-interest data from OpenStreetMap.In most cases, the data comes from taking the census blocks w/ centroids contained in your circle and summing their population. Demographic info is slightly more complex as it's not sourced on blocks, so we allocate population-weighted fractions of a source territory's published census values into the drawn territory. Happy to answer any questions about the data or the technical side. The game/app only covers US areas at the moment, I'd like to add international data in the future!I am re-submitting this as a proper "Show HN", as I left the 'Show HN' text out of the title the last time I submittedAug 18, 2026 10:14 PM

LLMs .what do you smoke beforehand?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49353513I know this is going to sound negative, and probably a bit generalist but....seriously, what exactly is the LLM helping you with that is not just purely "time saving" - ie. Actual, novel work.I personally feel like while I cannot prove it, nor want to frankly, that LLMs have been neutered intentionally since around October of last year. 4.5-4.6 Opus....Every single company has degraded their models eirher intentionally or accidentally(probably worse) and they cannot admit it and will gaslight you if you even try to acknowledge it....but for my own experiments, LLMs are actually worse than no-LLM....I dont see anyone building anything they couldnt have done before hand....and I am seeing stuff that didnt need to be made...much more frequently....to the degree that I cannot remember the last good idea I have seen even on here (whereas there were cool ideas every month posted here)...I also cannot get even mediocre output anymore...Its literally just trash - Literally a prompt to dumpsterAug 18, 2026 10:14 PM
