Show HN: ComicInk – AI tool that turns a prompt into a full comic bookhttps://www.comicink.aiHi HN, I'm Sanjoy. I've always loved comic books and stories but can't draw. So I built ComicInk: describe a story, the AI generates a complete comic book — consistent characters across panels, dialogue, cover art, the whole thing.No-signup demo at comicink.ai/quick — type a prompt, watch Gemini write a dramatic teaser of your story in real-time while the cover + page 1 render (~2 min). Free signup unlocks the full 4-page comic.The hard problem was character consistency. Most AI image tools treat each generation independently, so your hero's face morphs between panels. ComicInk stores per-character reference images + structured attributes (age group, build, hair, distinguishing features) and injects them into every panel prompt. Not perfect, but substantially better than raw text-to-image.Translation worked out better than I expected: a click renders the comic in 10+ languages while the panel art stays identical — only the dialogue and captions change. The public reader auto-detects th

Show HN: Sampletext.store/ We built a dumb web shop and we cannot look awayhttps://sampletext.store/So this all started two weeks ago as a stupid inside joke with friends in a group chat where we got a chatgpt powered bot to write plugins for itself and told it to build one that would make it fetch a random image from Wikipedia and then place words from the same article onto it. Often times it would just return mangled garbage or be completely incoherent but every now and then something astoundingly funny or profound would break through (if you have that certain 2005 idiotic internet humor that we/I certainly suffer from).And well a sleepless weekend and two maxed out copilot subscriptions later, what I can only describe as antipattern for the pure sake of having dumb fun actually went live. For an added bonus, some banger keygen chiptunes are highly reccomended for browsing. Might put that in at some point in the future...And on the incredibly minuscule chance that you even know or remember ][CdK][… sup bucko, we still ain’t dead.

Show HN: Can a person's chess mind outlive them? An attempt with 41 mastershttps://playchessgate.com/Two years ago I sat down to build a chess engine for my kids' Christmas present. Wanted it to play badly enough to be beatable but not randomly bad: different styles so they could choose what to face.While building those styles I noticed the choices started looking like actual historical players' tendencies. Went looking. Turns out: given enough games from one person, you can extract enough of their decision pattern to reproduce it.Two years later, 41 players, ~3,000 games each. Tal sacrifices unsoundly. Morphy attacks like it's 1850. Capablanca grinds endgames. Same engine underneath, visibly different choices each time.playchessgate.com: browser, no signup. The kids never got their Christmas present.

Show HN: GrandPerspective-style treemaps for the web and disk usage visualizerhttps://imbue-ai.github.io/gp-treemap/gallery/I like treemaps for visualizing hierarchical mass and density of resource usage. I've always particularly loved GrandPerspective's dense, colorful rendering, but haven't found a similar but generalized treemap that works in reactive web views across many data visualization contexts.So I built gp-treemap, a canvas-based web component that renders GP-style treemaps with millions of nodes: https://github.com/imbue-ai/gp-treemap/If you want to give it a spin, try something like this command to visualize hierarchical disk usage:npx -p @imbue-ai/gp-treemap gpdu ~/DownloadsFun fact: I built gp-treemap as a test case for Imbue's Sculptor (https://imbue.com/sculptor/) and Blueprint (https://imbue.com/product/blueprint) tools.

Show HN: A new benchmark for testing LLMs for deterministic outputshttps://interfaze.ai/blog/introducing-structured-output-benchmarkWhen building workflows that rely on LLMs, we commonly use structured output for programmatic use cases like converting an invoice into rows or meeting transcripts into tickets or even complex PDFs into database entries.The model may return the schema you want, but with hallucinated values like `invoice_date` being off by 2 months or the transcript array ordered wrongly. The JSON is valid, but the values are not.Structured output today is a big part of using LLMs, especially when building deterministic workflows.Current structured output benchmarks (e.g., JSONSchemaBench) only validate the pass rate for JSON schema and types, and not the actual values within the produced JSON.So we designed the Structured Output Benchmark (SOB) that fixes this by measuring both the JSON schema pass rate, types, and the value accuracy across all three modalities, text, image, and audio.For our test set, every record is paired with a JSON Schema and a ground-truth answer that was verified against the sou

Ask HN: Mining Scientific Papershttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47949379What are peoples' experiences with using LLMs to mine information from scientific papers?My own experience: I first attempted to extract the anti-drug antibody (ADA) rate from each of 3730 clinical-trial papers, all indexed in PubMed. I started from PDFs. Claude Opus 4.7 analyzed each PDF using a written rules doc that we had formulated. Running all the papers took about a week because I kept hitting session limits; the total cost was ~$25 (USD). We got actual rates from 909 papers. The rest were mostly cases where the rate was not present or did not meet our criteria, including administering only one drug at a time.I read thirty of the papers and re-read those where I got a different answer from Claude, concluding that it had erred one time and I had erred three times.So this works, but is not totally convenient: session limits mean that I can't start it up and walk away. Or I don't know how to engineer this capability. In addition I was curious how local models would perform.To that

Show HN: I built a 2nd-order PyTorch optimizer for LLMs that runs on 16GB GPUshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47947319Hi HN,I'm Danilo. I've been struggling with the limitations of AdamW when fine-tuning LLMs locally. Second-order optimizers (like Shampoo or SOAP) offer significantly better step-convergence by exploiting Kronecker-factored curvature. The problem? They require O(d^2) memory and O(d^3) compute per layer, which immediately OOMs consumer hardware like a 16GB T4 or RTX 3090.I wanted Shampoo-quality preconditioning on my home setup, so I built SCAO (Sparse Curvature-Aware Optimizer).It's a PyTorch optimizer that acts as a drop-in replacement for AdamW, but it implements a few strict architectural changes to survive on consumer cards:1. Adaptive Rank Selection: Instead of full-rank Kronecker factors, it truncates the eigenspace to retain >=95% of spectral mass. 2. Int8 EMA Quantization: The curvature accumulators are stored in symmetric int8, which yields a 4x memory reduction with zero degradation in perplexity. 3. Quantization Stability: Standard Shampoo usually crashes at step 1 during 4-

Ask HN: How are you stopping supply chain attacks via compromised dev keys?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47945581GitHub and GitLab will verify that a commit is signed by some key on the user's account. They won't let you require that it be signed by a specific key, like a hardware-backed YubiKey your org issued. So if an attacker compromises a developer's laptop or GitHub account, they can add a new signing key, push commits signed with it, and pass every "Require signed commits" protection in place. The malicious commit lands in the repo with a "Verified" badge.As far as I can tell, neither platform offers:- An org-level allowlist of approved signing keys- A way to reject a push based on the signing key itself- A built-in way to audit who has accessed what (You have to stream and parse the audit logs yourself!)The workarounds I've seen, like re-verifying signatures in CI, blocking deployments on unapproved keys, self-hosting Git with pre-receive hooks, all share the same problem: the bad commit still lands in the repo. CI catches it after the fact.Given recent supply chain attacks, this feels li

Show HN: PatchWork – A 5-pass dedup pipeline to merge N resumes into one profilehttps://usepatch.work/I spent 4 months job searching with no callbacks. ChatGPT kept inventing stuff I never did. Teal and Rezi made me edit a base resume per job, which is what I was trying to skip. I built PatchWork instead. It takes everything you've ever written about your career, merges it into one profile, and generates a tailored resume per job description.The hard part was deduplication. The same accomplishment shows up across five resumes worded five different ways, and different metrics survive in different versions. If you just pick one as the winner, you throw away real information. Designed a 5-pass deduplication pipeline, combining deterministic code with AI to get it pretty close to right.A few of the messier cases:Umbrella entries. Some resumes list "2018 to 2022, Company X" as one block when it actually covers three different roles. The bullets have to get redistributed to the right titles before anything else happens.Bullet bleed. The same accomplishment ends up listed under different role

A GPT-5.4 bug led to OpenAI banning goblins and raccoonshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47944637Someone found this in OpenAI Codex’s system prompt:"Never talk about goblins, gremlins, raccoons, trolls, ogres, pigeons, or other animals or creatures unless it is absolutely and unambiguously relevant to the user’s query."Goblins, gremlins, trolls, ogres - the fantasy quartet, fine. I get it. Perhaps someone asked Codex to write something and got back a Runescape goblin lore deep-dive.But pigeons? Raccoons? These are deployment-environment animals.If not for raccoons, who’d do the garbage collection?RFC 1149 (IP over Avian Carriers, 1990, an actual protocol - with an actual implementation, in Bergen) puts pigeons squarely inside the systems-engineering canon.“Or other animals or creatures” - full anti-creature agenda. Literally a bajillion dollars get set on fire every hour processing these prompts.Turns out there’s a reason for the ban.

Show HN: Docktor – I put live window previews and widgets on the macOS 26 Dockhttps://petercsauer.github.io/docktor-releases/There's dead space on both sides of the Dock. Nobody uses it. So I stuck widgets there. Music with synced lyrics (Spotify + Apple Music), calendar, weather, a Pomodoro timer, system stats. They sit in little glass panels and stay out of the way until you look down.The other thing: hover a Dock icon and macOS shows you the app name. Thanks, I forgot what Safari was called. Docktor replaces that with live thumbnails of every window for that app. Click one, you're there. Same idea powers a Cmd+Tab replacement. Actual window previews instead of a beauty pageant of app icons.I spent a lot of time matching the system look. Same blur radii, same animation timing. It should feel like part of the Dock, not something bolted on.Native Swift. No Electron, no account, no telemetry.First beta goes out next week.
