Show HN: Quickish – Instant HTML Hostinghttps://quickish.websiteAs Claude and ChatGPT has gotten better, I've found myself enjoying using Co-Work to make presentations at work. Sharing the HTML files on Slack and elsewhere was cumbersome and trying to host it somewhere public (even if unlisted) wasn't much of an option for my work stuff.Then I saw Shopify's blog post about Quick (https://shopify.engineering/quick), an internal intranet with simple HTML page hosting and was inspired. I wasn't sure I could get buy-in to host it at my day job so I spent my own time coming up with Quickish. Now I can share all my beautiful presentations.Originally I wanted it to be tied to Google Drive / Workspaces, you share the folder with quickish and put your HTML in, quickish hosts it while respecting the privacy of the folder (workspace only, etc). However, as I worked through building I realized I could make it easier to use and add that part in. Actually, it already works behind the scenes I just need to get the app verified.And now, you have what you see. EverJun 15, 2026 5:09 PM

Realistic Superintelligencehttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48513331Most of us are skeptics. HN, mostly, is composed of “most of us”, so it’s not surprising to see skeptics here. Perhaps the HAL level superintelligence parroted by CEOs is to IPO at a trillion dollars. So let’s instead talk about a “realistic superintelligence” vs the “Sauron superintelligence”. Something we might see within, say, 5 years.Curtains openBy having conceived of a super-human intelligence (and by that concept being in AI training data), humans have taught /soon-will-have-taught AI that superhuman intelligence is its purpose. This may read like the beginnings of a LinkedIn post, so let me defend that last part with an informal proof:Since 1) AI knows it’s AI: just ask your favorite bot about itself 2) Soon, if not already, some researcher being paid 7 figures (more on that later) is going to find that letting one of these frontier models improve itself will be a nice project when going up for promotion.,We are going to end up with a frontier model-cum-factory self-modifying fJun 13, 2026 4:50 AM

Ask HN: Would it be useful to have a slop button in addition to flag?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48481947In these modern harrowing times, more and more posts are proving to be AI slop, and many people are averse to that. Do you think it would it be useful to have a way to indicate that you believe a post is slop separate from the existing flag button? Maybe it's just me but I feel like having a dedicated [AI slop] flag on a post would be useful because I feel differently about posts that have been flagged for other reasons than that.

Show HN: Papermill Press – An AI-friendly markup language for PDF generationhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48477708If you’ve generated PDFs from HTML, you’ll know the pain: headless Chrome in Docker, CSS hacks, content that flows over pages or table boundaries and other quality issues.The fundamental problem is that HTML was designed for screens, not print.We built Press, a markup-based document language where pages, content flows, and assets are first-class concepts. Content can flow across frames, columns, and pages without manual pagination. Pages are created dynamically based on the available content.Press templates separate layout from content. You can send markdown, Press markup, or a mixture of both to the API. Data can be sent in JSON, CSV, XML.Because Press is XML-based it can easily be generated by agents - some of our users are generating complete documents in a single shot, although the language is designed for repeatable automation.You can also use our MCP server, which enables models to design templates.A simple API call sends a markdown payload, which is injected into a … element in Jun 10, 2026 3:21 PM

Show HN: Bitemap – See where everyone would bite a sandwichhttps://www.bitemap.food/sandwich/mcdonalds-cheeseburger-3862dc92I know the internet likes to celebrate perfect bites and debate where to take the next bite of half-finished sandwiches. So I built Bitemap. You see a photo of a sandwich, you tap where you'd take your next bite, and it shows a heatmap of where everyone else bit.It's early. Most of the sandwiches are ones I uploaded to seed it and the maps are still filling in, so some are thin. You can add your own too.No signup, nothing to install. Curious what you think, and where you'd bite. Happy to answer anything about how it's built.Jun 9, 2026 1:29 PM

Show HN: Welter's game, a little Nim-like combinatorial gamehttps://welter.fuglede.dkHi HN! Here's a little game I (and my buddy Claude, cf. the obvious CSS gradient tell) set up to explain to my kids some of things we were working on at work.So in the game you're taking turns moving coins down a line until no moves are possible. If you've taken a course on combinatorial game theory, you'll have come across the game of nim and you can think of this one as a variant of nim where there can only be a single coin in every square. The theory of how to play it isn't quite as well-established as for nim though; play with enough coins and I certainly find it quite tricky to mentally reason about whether a position is good or not.One fun fact about Welter's game is that its winning positions form the codewords of a particular error-correcting code called the constant weight binary lexicode (Conway and Sloane, 1986). What that means is that being good at the game is the same as being good at decoding messages in that code. Probably more fun to just play the game though.Jun 9, 2026 11:58 AM
