Show HN: Adept – convert any YouTube playlist into a Udemy-like coursehttps://withadept.comI built[1] a simple web app that turns any YouTube playlist into a Udemy-like course that keeps track of your progress, and gets rid of as many distractions as possible.All you need to do is paste a link to a YouTube playlist (or to a video that’s part of a playlist) and it will be converted into a course. You can also convert it directly from YouTube by changing “youtube” in the URL to “withadept”.All progress is stored locally and registration is optional (an account lets you sync progress across devices). The browser can reject the request to enable persistent storage, and in that case app shows message with suggestion to sign in (you can just dismiss it), but otherwise I tried to avoid pushing that option.There is no tracking, no 3rd-party cookies (there is youtube-nocookie.com embed on playlist page that I can't avoid), no marketing emails if you do sign up.For those curious about the tech-stack: it’s a Vue/Nuxt app leaning heavily on Cloudflare (Workers, D1, R2, Email Service).

Show HN: DFAH-Bench – same agent decision, different tool pathshttps://github.com/ibm-client-engineering/output-drift-financial-llmsHey - released this PyPi library after getting annoyed most agent evals only focus on outcomes, and the tool calling path is just as important in recognizing the outcome decision. So defined decision agreement rates, trajectory agreement rates etc etcMost tell us whether the final answer was right, but not whether the agent actually did the same thing twice.In prospective replays of financial services tasks, agents reached the same decision about 94–95% of the time. Exact tool-name paths matched only 67–69%. Once the tool arguments were included, agreement fell to 45–52%.I don’t think every different path is automatically a failure. Sometimes it’s harmless flexibility. But if an agent can touch files, APIs, email, or financial controls, I’d at least like to know that it changed its path before calling the system stable.The package repeatedly runs your agent, stores the traces, and compares the decision, tool order, arguments, and result identities.Quick local test - no key or paid modeAug 2, 2026 3:02 PM

Show HN: Turn a Nintendo Joy-Con into a Codex Micro Alternativehttps://github.com/Jinjiang/joy-con-codex-microHi HN,I built Joy-Con Codex Controller, a bring-your-own-controller alternative to Codex Micro for macOS.It turns an already paired Nintendo Switch Joy-Con into a one-handed physical controller for Codex. You also need a mic which most Macs already have. The default mappings cover common actions such as switching chats, creating or closing a chat, navigating panels, confirming or cancelling, and holding a button for voice dictation.The controller has two shortcut layers: pressing a button directly triggers the primary action, while holding ZL or ZR activates an Fn layer. Every mapping is configurable, and profiles can be imported or exported as JSON.This is an early release, and I’d especially appreciate feedback about the default mappings, different left/right Joy-Con models, and macOS compatibility.Source and installation details: https://github.com/Jinjiang/joy-con-codex-microAug 2, 2026 2:57 PM

Ask HN: When will the AI version of 911 happen?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49144182Whether the government/other 'friendly' entities were behind, coordinated, or were oblivious to the 911 attacks, they enjoyed what 911 allowed them to do (be completely free of the limits of the Constitution on their treatment of everyone) to not want to do it again.It lasted 25 years, which might be surprising, that Americans would give up their American-ness for that long, but they were 'patriotic' enough to accept just a single approval by Congress of a super-Unconstitutional muddy Act on a long-term basis.It seems the authority of the Act is waning now.The new model is AI. The threat of escaped or rouge AIs, the use by citizens of AI. A new 911-like thing would likely be in the shape of some AI event as appalling as 911.When?Aug 2, 2026 12:57 PM

What if we learned languages like we acquired our first?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49142084When we learn our mother tongue-language, we don't use dictionaries. We learn words in context, tied to an object, a situation, or a feeling. Memory relies heavily on these rich associations, but most language tools strip all of that away. This is something that frustrated me personally when i wanted to learn english and get better at it, so I built "Nattly" to help me learn English the same way native english speakers acquire it.Instead of isolated lists, Nattly ties vocabulary to specific scenarios and images, backed by spaced repetition. The goal is to practice recall based on context rather than just recognizing direct translations.Direct retrieval vs Recognition:The exposure gap is staggering. Children of native spaeker parents get thousands of hours of language exposure before they can speak, while adult learners may get just 15–30 hours a year.So I built a *Radio* feature in Nattly that generates everyday scenarios: The narrator plays the role of an image depiction of the scene Aug 2, 2026 7:47 AM

Show HN: Btfy – a blockchain that uses weather observationshttps://github.com/kotagit75/btfyHi HN,I built Btfy, an experimental blockchain that uses weather observations as a source of unpredictability for consensusThe motivation is simple. Proof of Work generates uncertainty by performing computations. I wanted to explore whether we could obtain some of that uncertainty from the real world instead.Btfy combines weather observation data with a Verifiable Delay Function (VDF):Weather Observation Data -> VDF -> Block -> Hash ChainIn the current implementation, observation data is collected from multiple locations, a VDF is computed, and the result is used to generate a block. Furthermore, because each block depends on the hash of the previous block, making it difficult to replay previously observed weather data to construct an alternative history.This is strictly an experimental project and not a production-ready consensus protocol. I am particularly interested in the security assumptions here: specifically, how much uncertainty weather observation data can actually provide, hoAug 2, 2026 6:44 AM

Show HN: Aurora – AI Gateway built in Gohttps://github.com/aurorallm/auroraEvery Ai project needs the same infra - API keys, providers SDKs, retry logic, cost tracking. it should be infra layer. Aurora is a Go gateway that handles that layer, ~15MB binary, no dependencies. It proxies requests to OpenaAI, Anthropic, Gemini etc, and can convert between formats - use the OpenAi SDK and Aurora translates to Anthropic's wire format automatically. No format conversion code in backend.It helps: - track costs per customer/team - switch models and providers without changing code - debug requests and responses flows more easily - reduce costs with exact and semantic cachingHow its different than other gateways: - auto-discovers providers models - provider pools with automatic failover switch - built in guardials, audit logging with export, analytics, admin dashboard - model aliases, regional deployment to reduce latency. - can be used in infra directly and admin endpoints let control everything, creating managed api keys on user onboard and more.The oss version (ApacheAug 1, 2026 1:56 PM

Show HN: Weightlift – the missing package manager for downloading model weightshttps://weightlift.dev/If you’re building an on-device web-based AI app, you’ve probably built this 50 times already:Something that tells your users which models are available to download or already cached, then shows progress as they’re being downloaded.While building Rescript (see https://github.com/wassgha/rescript ), I had to build this exact same pattern.So I built it into a tiny library that streamlines that across transformers.js, onnx, prakeet and pretty much any model provider.Give it a try :)Aug 1, 2026 9:55 AM

On May the computer became unusable so I contacted support.Support was good, the problem was the ram died. Never happened to me before so I didn't recognize the symptoms.

Show HN: I Built a (Country) Geography Guessing Gamehttps://www.whatcountryisit.com/hi HN,I get mad at myself when I forget the name (or location) of a country, so I built a simple game that's browser based, no login, that I could set my homepage to, that'd quiz me on country names based on the outline location on a map. I didn't like other country geo games cause they just showed the standalone country (outline), without showing where it is on a full (draggable) map. So I thought I'd just make the exact game I want.
