Show HN: Project ESPAÑOL: Find level-appropriate Spanish-language poemshttps://dmerullo.github.io/project-espanol/I made this application while taking Spanish lessons to find texts that used verb forms I was learning (present, past, future, subjunctive, etc.). First, I scraped ~10,000 Spanish-language poems from the web that are in the public domain. Then, I built a conjugation dictionary for the 550+ most common verbs, using rules to generate regular verbs, and scraping irregular verbs from the web. From this alone, you can identify which poems contain the most type of verbs you're trying to target. To take it further, I used a k-means clustering algorithm in Python to classify the poems into four difficulty levels based on verb form frequencies (poems with lots of verbs in subjunctive future perfect are more difficult than only present tense, for example).I first completed the project in December 2024, almost entirely by hand, using LLMs primarily to make an interactive Plotly Dash application. (I have a lot of experience with data visualization, especially ggplot2; that was my first time using

I'm trying to make somthing worthy of people buying it and getting good value, I have not really shown it off or had anyone look at my site past the occasional web crawler, and I did 100% make this. Its called 0verload and the things it does, I will now list. Automatcially tracks versions on all your source code. It dosnt replace GIT, its for the saves you do between checkins...that one version you should have saved .it does..automatically. even oob writes get a version. I cant live with out it... somthing about telling my llm ....get me that thing I wrote like 2 days ago or a week ago or whenever.you can just tell the llm kinda where when and it will go get it and merge it in....I have files with hundreds of versions and you would think it would be annoying but if you have an llm ...I ship claude skills with it so it wakes up knowing how to use it, AND that brings me to somthing else it does..

Show HN: A mod for Grand Prix Circuit (DSI/Accolade, 1988)https://marnetto.net/projects/grand-prix-circuitHello HN,I have built a mod for Grand Prix Circuit, an old 2.5D racing game: the latest episode of a long series of community efforts to reverse-engineer and improve the games made by Distinctive Software (today's EA Vancouver) in the DOS era.I've been dabbling in hacking old DOS games for almost two years, but this time I think my project is big enough to be worthy of a “Show HN“.From the gaming point of view, the mod offers a variety of new cars and tracks, from Spa to the Space, and more sophisticated EGA backgrounds than the original game.From the technical point of view, it was an interesting effort combining reverse engineering, development, design and pixel art, all of which both in classic and LLM-assisted variants.From the literary point of view, I have documented the making of the game in a series of (fully human-written) posts [1]. There is something for everyone: war stories, hacking techniques, the word “boustrophedonic” and, as bonus, an outdoor game to keep your kids awa

Show HN: Vein, a minimalist open-source resource management gamehttps://d2ykijtrvb890q.cloudfront.net/Recently I've been working on Vein, a small open-source resource management game built with Godot.I've always loved resource management board games, and I wanted to see how minimal I could make one. The core idea is simple: keep the heart beating by supplying it with the resources it demands. I tried to strip the mechanics down as much as possible while still leaving room for interesting decisions, and I added a short tutorial to help players get started.The problem is that I still don't feel like I've found the right gameplay loop. It works, but it isn't yet the game I imagined. I'd really appreciate any feedback—whether it's about the mechanics, pacing, tutorial, UI, or anything else that stands out. I'm especially interested in ideas for making the core loop deeper without making the game more complicated.Most of the development was done with Claude Sonnet as a coding partner, while I focused on the design, gameplay, and iteration. The game engine is Godot.You can play it here: http

A 1989 Unix finger protocol prank at UW-Milwaukeehttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49121204In 1989, as a CS undergrad at UW-Milwaukee, I had access to a graduate Unix lab. One afternoon, the grad students discovered they could scan the network for users who had accidentally left their .plan files world-writable. For the uninitiated, the finger command let you see who was logged in, and it displayed their local .plan file. Because default security permissions were incredibly relaxed back then, you could sometimes write directly to someone else's file. The grad students wrote a script to append a snarky message mocking the users' permissions: "I AM FAR MOR THAN AN IGNORANT MORON..." Later that night, the lab cleared out. Left to my own devices, curiosity got the better of me. I ran a similar scan to see if any open files were left. I found one, and the user’s login name immediately caught my eye: "beaver". The temptation was simply too great. I opened their file and wrote the only logical sentence:"If you are reading this, then you are fingering the beaver!" After literally fa

Show HN: Open-Cowork – an open-source, model-agnostic computer-use agenthttps://github.com/coasty-ai/open-coworkHi HN,We built Open Cowork, an MIT-licensed desktop agent that can operate a computer through screenshots, mouse input, and keyboard input.We started working on this after using cowork-style computer agents for longer tasks. The interaction model was useful, but computer use burns through model calls much faster than chat: take a screenshot, decide what to do, perform an action, inspect the result, and repeat.We wanted to separate that agent loop from any one model or subscription.Open Cowork currently works with local models through Ollama and hosted models through providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, Mistral, and OpenRouter. You can watch the agent’s actions as they happen and interrupt it during a run.The basic loop is:Capture the current screen Send the screenshot and task state to the model Parse the proposed action Execute the mouse or keyboard action Capture the resulting state Continue until completion, interruption, or a safety conditionTwo annoyingly common fai

Show HN: RunNburn – Run a 295B Moe from a 98GB GGUF on a 64GB RAM Desktophttps://github.com/coderredlab/runNburnrunNburn is an Apache-2.0 Rust inference engine for quantized GGUF models that are too big for your fast memory.The core idea: weights stay file-backed (mmap), host residency stays under an explicit byte budget (--ram-budget), and GPU caches are sized from detected free/total VRAM — never from device-name presets. There is no conversion step, no sidecar cache files, no silent requantization. The GGUF on disk is the single source of truth.The result that made me want to post this: Tencent's Hy3 (295B total / 21B active sparse MoE, a single 97.8 GiB Q2_K GGUF) runs on my desktop with 64 GB of RAM and one consumer NVIDIA GPU. The file is larger than RAM and VRAM combined; the selected experts for each token are pulled on demand (the newest path batches O_DIRECT reads through io_uring), while the pretrained routing is left untouched. On the same machine, same prompt, same decode length, a warm-run median gave ~5.5 tok/s decode vs ~2.0 tok/s for llama.cpp.To be upfront about scope: for mode

Show HN: Data structures as containers – sample chapter from my Big O book [pdf]https://thebigobook.com/downloads/data-structures-sample-chapter.pdfI was a self taught software engineer that later went to grad school to get a masters in software engineering. What I learned along the way was that many of the intimidating subjects around algorithms and data structures were much simpler and less scary than I ever thought.My hope for this book is to try and help the self taught developers get on more equal footing with people who have a CS degree - at least the algorithms class - which I always thought was most important for interviews. Along the road, I realized Big O, logs, and algorithmic complexity weren't as confusing as I first thought. This book hopes to close the gap between self taught developers and formal CS knowledge - which often gave me imposter syndrome.The linked PDF is a complete chapter from the book about common data structures you'll encounter in javascript - and leaving out some of the data structures you may never see (like Linked Lists).Note - this is one chapter of the book that was published and is available o
