Environmental groups have warned that growing traffic along the shorter route could accelerate Arctic sea ice loss already driven by global warming.

Ask HN: What types of alternative communities have you seen work or not and why?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49395758I’ve always been interested in alternatives to the discrete, isolated mode of living that most Westerners are familiar with. Think an individual, couple, or nuclear family living on their own property without sharing resources with neighbours or extended family.There are a wide range of alternatives out there, from multigenerational households to ‘intentional’ communities of over 1000 people. Some of the larger examples include urban communities like Christiania in Amsterdam or Hunziker Areal in Zurich and of course the more traditional rural communes - often founded during the counter-culture revolution of the late 60s and 70s. Most examples that I’m aware of have some kind of ‘intention’ other than simply existing. Things like low energy use (e.g. so called 2000 watt societies like Hunziker Areal), shared religious or spiritual beliefs, or some other foundational principals like concern for the environment. Another thing that a lot of these communities often share is some kind of ent

Show HN: Caspian – Talk to Human Tool for AI Agentshttps://github.com/TryCaspian/caspian-sdkSup HN! Dipanshu and Rushant here from Caspian. One is a functional programmer and the other has been deploying AI employees. Together we realized how agents have communication bottleneck.Given the coming agentic economy, we had a thought experiment on what can be the key infrastructure for agents as they get better. Our inspiration for solving for communications infra came from our own time spent just setting up comms while we were deploying open claw for companies plus we noticed about 15%+ of issues in Openclaw and Hermes were that of comms.So we abstracted the headache of reliable communication web-hooks, handling of queues, provision and identity management behind an single SDK integration / tool call. Think of it like rather than rolling your own auth, you can use better auth sdk, same thesis here.Technically, we designed the SDK from the ground up as a DSL for communications (heavy inspiration from functional programming) and then add on our own run time environment which auto p

ValiantCore – A custom hobby OS kernel and VEF executable formathttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49385832Hello friends, I'm Finn Dev. I have an OS kernel called ValiantCore that supports x86_64/i386 architectures. Aarch64 is gradually starting to be supported. I wrote this OS kernel on an Android phone in a Termux Linux environment because I didn't have a computer and had no income. It's licensed under GPLv2 and you can find it on Codeberg and GitHub under the name finndev62. My official website is https://finndev62.github.io, my GitHub repository is https://github.com/finndev62, and my Codeberg repository is https://codeberg.org/finndev62

Ask HN: Do you need Google ads help?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49385541Hello everyone! I’m building https://unfetch.com, something like Codex but focused on Google Ads.It has:- Keyword research support (like Ahrefs)- A Google Ads connector- Memory, sandbox, and artifacts- Automations (coming soon, for example, automatically scanning for and adding negative keywords every day)While I iron out the last few details, I’d like to help 10/15 companies run their Google Ads campaigns.I would primarily manage your ads manually while testing the same workflows in Unfetch. I’ll continue optimizing it until I’m confident that it can replace me for most routine daily/weekly monitoring and optimization tasks.If you’re currently running ads or planning to do so, email me at @gmail.com.

Show HN: Icebug-format: immutable, interoperable graph standardhttps://github.com/Ladybug-Memory/icebug-formatMost graph analytics packages have a mutable graph implementation that uses a heap allocated vector to store the graph. It works for toy graphs. But if you're loading a billion edge graph using G.add_edge() it's going to take a while.We don't need to invent new standards. Such interoperable, immutable memory standards already exist: Apache Arrow and Compressed Sparse Rows (CSR). CSR is widely used in scipy, cugraph and columnar graph databases among others. Both on CPUs and GPUs.icebug-format combines both into a on-disk standard based on Apache Parquet and an in-memory format based on Apache Arrow.Bindings available in many popular languages including python, typescript and rust.The package ships with convenience scripts to convert flat tables such as vertex.parquet and edges.parquet to this format in RAM/disk constrained environments.Sample graphs: https://huggingface.co/datasets/ladybugdb/ldbc-csr/tree/mainConverted from: https://ldbcouncil.org/benchmarks/graphalytics/datasets/Large

Show HN: Kandelo – a POSIX-compatible multi-process WASM kernel for the browserhttps://kandelo.dev/20260819-demo/Kandelo is an open-source, Wasm-based multi-process kernel that runs POSIX programs in browsers and Node.js.Kandelo is still experimental, but it already runs a substantial range of existing software.Do you have use cases for this?We are trying Kandelo as a new foundation for WordPress Playground which runs server-side WordPress entirely in the browser. Kandelo also looks promising as a sandbox for running agents in the the browser and on the command line. On the side, we've been playing with porting games and desktop environments and even compiling runnable programs within Kandelo.Yet it feels like there are many possibilities we haven't considered.How would you like to use something like this?Demos:Some notes: The demos have been tested in desktop browsers. Unfortunately, YMMV on mobile today. Some of the disk images are large (~50MB) and may take a while to boot initially.Main set, with Shell (bash, vim, nethack, and more), Nginx, PHP, WordPress, and Doom: https://kandelo.dev/202608

Show HN: Pack AI and scientific models as self-contained boxeshttps://github.com/suffro/scrollcaseHi! I've been working on an open-source project called Scrollcase. I started this cause moving Python or ML projects between machines is often painful. You need the right Python version, libraries, native builds, model files, and so on. So instead of making someone rebuild a Python environment on their machine, Scrollcase packages everything once, including Python, locked dependencies, code, and model files.Then they can verify it, unpack it, and run it. No Python install, no pip install, no Docker, and no dependency to mantain. You just define what goes inside, lock the dependencies, and build a portable, self-contained, verifiable package that's ready to run.Would love feedback from people who had to package Python, ML, or scientific environments for machines they don't control.

Show HN: Voidleap Code – agentic IDE, own harness, swap models mid-conversationhttps://voidleap.com/We wanted to build a development environment that can make you a better agentic engineer, not a tool that makes money when you waste tokens. A tool where you can swap models between turns, edit the context, and see every agent action. To do it, we had to build our own harness.Free to use. We don't sell inference, so bring your own key. The sore spot is Claude subscriptions. We can't support them because of Anthropic's terms.The app runs on your machine, and your data never touches our servers.We've been building Voidleap Code using Voidleap Code since January. We didn't rush to launch, but instead focused on getting the architecture and package just right. There are still more features to build, and more polishing to do, but it's ready for you to try.Judge it for yourself and tell us what you think.
