Show HN: Sipp – Run small local LLMs in browser 3x fasterhttps://www.sipp.shHi HN! Sipp is an open-source AI inference library for running local models in browsers with up to 3x faster decode speeds than alternative libraries.My background is in HCI (human-computer interaction) and graphics programming. Me along with my co-founder have been experimenting and thinking a lot about what the next user experience will look like when tokens are commodified to the point of being essentially “free.” A motivation for us was to try to move beyond the chat app and information retrieval use cases that are dominant now, and figure out how AI could instead act as a continuous and silent hand that helps the user indirectly, subtly monitoring their intent and dynamically generating or shifting the UI to meet their needs.In our explorations, we ran into two pain points: 1) when running AI in the browser, performance wasn’t good enough for real-time applications, and model loading and caching were issues; 2) when trying to run locally on desktop, there weren’t any good solutionJun 24, 2026 2:52 PM

ESA’s Euclid captures the Milky Way’s crowded hearthttps://www.esa.int/ESA_Multimedia/Videos/2026/06/ESA_s_Euclid_captures_the_Milky_Way_s_crowded_heartThis is the largest high-resolution photo ever made of our Milky Way galaxy’s centre in visible light. It was taken on 23 March 2025 by the European Space Agency’s Euclid space telescope. Packed with more than 60 million stars, this image opens the door for scientists to confirm the existence of any exoplanet found in this region and measure its mass using tiny changes in starlight over time.Jun 24, 2026 10:00 AM

Show HN: perl-lsp – annotation free static analysis for Perlhttps://github.com/tree-sitter-perl/perl-lspBuilt in Rust on top of ts-parser-perl and tower-lsp. Witness bags with graph traversal (value edges, call flow edges).How it works: - builds witnesses and scopes by walking the parse tree. Fully known values get concrete types, otherwise they get an edge pointing to the last witness we have for this symbol - a worklist runs to a fixed point: reducers fold each symbol's witnesses and chase edges. At this point, the witness bag is complete and ready to use - all downstream features are queries into the bag, following along the graph edges that are relevantExtensible - you can bring your own Rhai plugin to shortcut common patterns (exporters and OOP frameworks), or even add new types of definitions (worker tasks and web routes).The build/query timing distinction with edges lets you late bind types, which is duly similar to how Perl itself works: `Foo->new` isn't known if it's the constructor for Foo or calling a method on the sub name `Foo`; late binding lets you make that call after theJun 23, 2026 1:17 PM

Value for Money Is All You Needhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48628090Value For Money is All You NeedA reflection on the future of token consumption in artificial intelligenceToken consumption now sits at the center of the growing use of artificial intelligence by businesses and individuals alike.The "TokenMaxxing" trapIn the early days, the trend was to maximize token consumption from proprietary LLMs, regardless of cost — a practice seen as a marker of performance for the user, the employee, or the company. This phenomenon, known as "TokenMaxxing," reportedly exhausted Uber's entire annual budget in under a year.Faced with the enormous financial cost this TokenMaxxing generated, many companies and individuals turned to lower-cost LLMs to preserve their budgets — fueling the rise of Chinese open-source LLMs such as DeepSeek, in line with Harvard professor Clayton Christensen's theory that disruptive innovation can conquer a market through low prices.Users thus found themselves facing a dilemma: choose a highly capable but token-expensive proprietary modJun 22, 2026 10:01 AM

Show HN: Kintsugi – a local-first safety net for AI agents and humanshttps://github.com/arrowassassin/kintsugiAI coding agents now run real shell commands on your machine — rm -rf, git push --force, DROP TABLE, dd, writes straight to disk. Almost always that's fine. The one time it isn't (a hallucinated path, a prompt-injected instruction, a confident wrong guess) there's no undo and you find out after.Kintsugi sits between the agent and your system. It catches the dangerous command before it runs, explains it in one plain sentence, makes destructive actions reversible with a snapshot, and writes every command every agent ran to an append-only, hash-chained log you own. Local-first: no cloud, no account, nothing leaves the machine.It's not only for AI. A passive bash/zsh recorder (no agent involved) puts every command a person runs on the same tamper-evident log and snapshots the destructive ones just-in-time — so `kintsugi undo` rolls back a DBA's fat-fingered rm -rf or clobbering overwrite the same way it rolls back an agent's.
