Show HN: Stack – the control plane for AI agentshttps://getstack.run/Dear diary, this is my story: I'd been sharing MCP configs with other devs at work a lot - templates in shared repos, credentials in Bitwarden, everyone cowboying their own env vars. That's a lot of manual wiring and lack of any real control, so there was already a problem statement forming in my mind. Then three weeks ago I was putting my kids to sleep and reading about Jensen Huang saying every company will run 100 agents per employee, and the math started mathing.That evening I kept thinking about what agents actually need to operate in the real world and eventually landed on the same answer as every spy movie ever: basically, a passport suitable for the mission and clever drop-off locations. So I built STACK. True story.- The passport: a signed JWT (EdDSA) that proves which agent is acting, who authorized it, and what it's allowed to do. Works offline - any service can verify it without calling STACK. Agents can delegate to sub-agents but the scope ever only narrows. Max 4 hops.- TApr 16, 2026 4:03 PM

Idea Discussion: Can We Replace Needs of Static Websites with AI Profiles?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47791664A lot of people only use websites for a few simple things:- To have an online presence - Show what they do - Share a portfolio - To show contact details and answer common questions.Not everyone needs this? Nowadays, we go to AI first and then website. Even Google shows an AI summary first.And it has become hard for simple websites to fight through SEO competition to get on the first page. Searching by name doesn't bring them on top. They can share a company’s URL, but generally people don't write it, they rather check it on Instagram and then find a link in bio. Also, checking websites sucks? Going through all that data just to find simple things is hard(Suppose it's a construction site and you are looking for which specific material they use, well good luck with that).Making a simple website takes a lot of time, design work, SEO effort, and money, and all this just to show some text.They don't need all that. Their clients are not looking for that. Clients usually just have some questiApr 16, 2026 11:45 AM

A brief generational overview of the tech industryhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47791293Modern consumer-focused technology, the finished products that we use in our day-to-day lives, is defined by the tech industry(AKA Big Tech, tech companies, the Internet, whatever you want to call it). Broadly speaking, this is the industry that has been the main driver of innovation in the past 50 years: producing wealth, increasing the standard of living, and improving human productivity. As of 2026, I can see this industry as having 2 clear generations of societal impact. I will list various tech companies and attempt to categorize them in generations. After that, I give my thoughts on the forthcoming third generation. Lastly, I will make a statement about subsequent generations as well as a closing remark.IBM - developed computers for industrial and personal use, this is a first generation tech company. Microsoft - developed the operating system and basic software used by billions, this is also a first generation tech company. Apple - developed novel tech products as well as softwaApr 16, 2026 10:58 AM

Advice for tracking down a listening device?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47791157I have a neighbor with an ex-boyfriend stalker who seems to have information from conversations within her house. The stalker police (I don't know the proper name - it's a group within the Zürich police) have offered to scan her home for bugs but they want her to first check her router for suspicious wifi devices.She's not technical at all and has asked me to help. Also, the stalker is not technical at all either but he's done some impressive things using advice from chatGPT. It is probably just a consumer device.Has anyone had experience with this? Some thoughts I've had are: - The police say that a battery-operated device that is sound-activated can function a very long time. How long?- Do consumer listening devices spoof their MAC address to appear to be a different manufacturer, for example Apple?- Do consumer listener devices connect to wifi only sporadically, when it's time to upload information? (in this case I'd have to find some way to turn on logging on her router)For anyone Apr 16, 2026 10:38 AM

Show HN: WhereIsMyIP, A no-nonsense, one-second public location checkerhttps://whereismyip.info/Hey HN,I originally built this tiny project a few years ago but ended up abandoning it. I recently revived and finished it to solve a very specific, recurring annoyance I had with my usual workflow.Whenever I turn on my VPN, I always want a quick visual confirmation that it’s actually routing correctly before I start browsing, usually by just checking what city/country I appear to be in.The frustration was that whenever I googled "what is my ip" and clicked a random result, half the sites were bloated with ads, required scrolling past walls of SEO text, or bizarrely buried the actual location data (or didn't show it at all).So I revived https://whereismyip.info/It does two things on load:Shows your IP and exact location front and center. Checks the ASN and automatically flags if you are connecting through a known datacenter or commercial VPN. (Also, since I live in the terminal, I added a JSON route: `curl https://whereismyip.info`).It’s obviously free, and the source is just a lightweApr 16, 2026 9:59 AM

Ask HN: Simple tooling for local LLM code critique without IDE integration?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47790214While I'll set out the criteria for what I'm looking for, I don't want this to turn into a general debate about the role of LLMs in software development. That discussion is important, but we have plenty of them. Consider everything that follows as personal a taste as ice cream flavor.Is there a lightweight, simple toolset for having local LLMs (preferably through llama.cpp) inspect and critique code without relying on IDE integration? I do not want an LLM to write any code for me, but I have definitely warmed to the idea of having them critique and assist in debugging. I'm a bit of a simpleton who prefers not to integrate too many things with my editor, so I'd like something that behaves kind of like a REPL; some commands to load source files from a directory and present those to the LLM (through llama.cpp?), and then some functions to interact with the LLM with said code in context. With simple convenience functions that let me save state, refresh updated code, etc.I'd prefer if this Apr 16, 2026 8:25 AM

Show HN: Using Telegram as an indexed system for geo-noteshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47789821I was trying to solve a pretty simple problem: how to keep geo-notes organized and actually usable without building a multi-level UI. Instead of building another app, I started wondering if Telegram — with its search and message model — could handle more than it seems at first glance. At some point, I approached the problem from a very simple angle: What if a location could be treated as a tag? Not just a generic label, but something more concrete — essentially latitude and longitude encoded into a hashtag-like format. A representation that can always be turned back into actual coordinates. In practice, a caption might look something like this: `#geom3eaZ76OH4 ` where the links to something like `https://www.google.com/maps?q=11.453792,104.957634` So the tag acts as a compact, searchable identifier, while the link preserves the exact location in a human-friendly way. Once you have a consistent location tag, everything else falls into place quite naturally. Any Telegram-supported contenApr 16, 2026 7:30 AM

Show HN: Springdrift – A persistent runtime for long-lived LLM agentshttps://github.com/seamus-brady/springdriftI wanted to share something that I have been working on since about 2019, in one form or another. Springdrift is a persistent, auditable runtime for long-lived agents written in Gleam on the BEAM. It is my attempt at filling in some of the gaps in agent development. It is designed to do all the things an agent like Openclaw can do (and more eventually), but it can diagnose its own errors and failures. It has a sophisticated safety metacognition system. It has a character that should not drift.It started out as a machine ethics prototype in Java and gradually morphed into a full agent runtime. All the intermediate variations worth saving are on my GitHub repo.I recall trying to explain to a mentor what exactly I was building. I found it difficult because there was no existing category for this kind of agent. It is not quite an assistant, it does more than run tasks. It is not quite an autonomous agent because even though it is autonomous, its autonomy is bounded. I kept falling back to Apr 15, 2026 9:41 PM

Show HN: Count Me In, a metronome that counts numbers for youhttps://labs.tiffzhang.com/count/Hey Hacker News! I recently made me own metronome app for my music practice because I often get lost in rhythm, and I thought it might be helpful to create metronome that counted actual numbers out loud for you to help me learn to count.So, for example, if you subdivide 4/4 into 16th notes, then the metronome would say:1e+a 2e+a 3e+a 4e+aOne thing where this has been especially helpful for me is that I added support for asymmetric rhythm patterns. In pop music, it's common for songs to use a 3-3-2 rhythm pattern with eighth notes. Even though this is usually written out in 4/4, in my app, if you set the rhythm to 8/8 and explicitly define the beat groups as 3+3+2, it will count this for you! This ends up being:1+a 2+a 3+You can see an example of what that looks like here! https://labs.tiffzhang.com/count/?bpm=100&ts=8-8&sub=2&vm=co...What do other people think? I'd love to hear if this helps anyone else with their music practice or if people have thoughts on things they'd like to see fApr 15, 2026 4:45 PM

As the team lead who reviews everyones PR and was also in charge of the deployment and monitoring, it created a lot of work for me because I had to fix every hotbug - a case in point was a pagination not working on some page or other.During some of these fixes, I felt my knowledge of the codebase wasn't as it ought to be especially since I didn't participate as much.Also, there were a lot of code that was so much more complex that I felt it will be if a human had written it - I felt my review was lacking in some capacity as well.For a while I struggled reviewing PRs that turned out to be miniature ai slops.

Show HN: HWT (Hash Web Tokens) – minimalist protocol for auth statehttps://www.jimmont.com/hwt/My frustration solving auth with JWTs led to reinventing the wheel for more predictable token integrity and transparency, while improving flexibility. The mix of features separates concerns more cleanly than what's been available, allowing higher throughput, custom codecs, delegation to both services and domains while easing key rotation and other practicalities.The design is focused on the token as state guarantee, not creation, revocation and the range of other separate concerns and application responsibilities. The spec conventions attempts to ease development with jurisdiction/data sovereignty and authorization in the authz field. It also enables and eases delegation between services and domains without centralized service exposure. The implementation is standalone and has demos for Deno, Cloudflare, etc in https://github.com/hwt-protocolFeedback and critique of the security logic and approach appreciated.Apr 15, 2026 1:24 PM
