Show HN: Visual way to understand things in parallelhttps://wondering.app/canvasHey HN!Really excited to be showing what I think is a better way to understand complex topics with AI.You start a chat with your question, and whenever you want to clarify something or understand some jargon, you can branch out a new chat from that thread.The cool unlock is being able to see all related chat threads in the same context without tab switching, for e.g. I can first dive into understanding world models, then spin a new chat thread on who the key players are in there, and another asking what's the frontier with this stuff.The responses are also not just a wall of text. They're: - Filled with interactive diagrams and visuals - Super fastAnd for those curious, this is how we built it: - React Flow (@xyflow/react) for the canvas - React Components for interactive diagrams - GPT Image 2 for image generations - Gemini 3.5 Flash Lite for super fast response - Parallelization whenever possible to keep things fastYou can also highlight and add notes :)Try it out and let me know wha

Ask HN: Combining Healthcare and Software Engineering into a Careerhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49390762I'm a former software engineer (self-taught) who is currently in school studying Kinesiology. I plan on going to graduate school for Occupational Therapy or Physical Therapy. Before starting school, I gained a few years of experience working with disabled children. I decided to pursue OT/PT because I very much enjoy working with disabled populations, but want more autonomy to actually make decisions that impact their well being.Despite all of this (and a rocky resume), I still feel like programming is a part of me and is something I find enjoyable as a discipline.Has anyone successfully made a career combining healthcare and software engineering? How did you do it?

Show HN: Steganeur – Hide secret messages in LLM-generated text (Rust)https://github.com/marcsnid/steganeurHi HN! I made a project that I found really fun and I'm proud of the idea and implementation. This first came up when speaking to a friend, we were talking around how to do steganography in natural text, and realized an LLM's token choices are a natural channel.Steganeur accomplishes this by encoding a secret message into the token choices of a language model, producing cover text that reads like a normal sentence. A recipient recovers the message using only the cover text and the model. With the rejection method, the output is statistically identical to normal generation, not just something that looks similar.The interesting problem I hit: steganeur reads the model's logprobs directly, and three of the four methods need them to come out exactly the same on encode and decode. On GPU reductions are non-deterministic, so the logprobs drift between runs, which is enough to corrupt the bits. Only one method (block) survives on GPU, because it bins tokens by their id rather than by probabil

Show HN: eInk Optimized Manga with Kindle Comic Converter (+Kobo/KOreader)https://github.com/ciromattia/kccKindle Comic Converter optimizes black & white (or color) comics and manga for E-ink ereaders like Kindle, Kobo, ReMarkable, and more. Pages display in fullscreen without margins, with proper fixed layout support. KCC runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux.KCC's main goal is maximum image quality at significantly smaller file size. For example, KCC1) can compress a 600 MB manga volume from Humble Bundle to 100 MB. This is mostly accomplished by downscaling to the native resolution of your specific device. This can also improve battery life, page turn speed, and general performance on underpowered ereaders with small memory and storage capacities.2) fixes black levels to avoid gray/faded blacks found in many Kindle Store manga3) fixes the rainbow effect on Kaleido 3 color eink without blur using the Discrete Fourier Transform (community PR)It can also semi-automatically join pre-split 2 page spreads and has several KOreader optimizations as well.

Show HN: Bounded GenAI metrics from Otel traces with O raw promptshttps://github.com/llm-measurement/otelcol-genai-sketchesHi friends,Author here. Like to present a project I've been working on - Otelcol-GenAI-Sketches, a Otel connector that works on genai/agent traces, and summarizes them (via sketches), to produce:() exact request counts/totals for tokens; () distinct users/prompts (estimates) (*) 'heavy' items in terms of tokensWhy does this exist: I'm a data scientist by profession, and needed to look at Otel traces, but soon ran into cardinality and portability issues, along with privacy issues (raw prompts being transported elsewhere, like for analysis in a notebook env is a no-no). I wrote a sketchlib first (llm-sketchkit) and then the connector for Otel collectors.To try it out, just:(i) git clone https://github.com/llm-measurement/otelcol-genai-sketches.gi... (ii) cd otelcol-genai-sketches (iii) export GENAI_SKETCH_SECRET="$(openssl rand -hex 32)" (iv) make example-up (v) profit!This would start a demo app that includes a Otel collector, prometheus server/db and a grafana dashboard.The repos conta
