Stera: Open-Source Infra That Turns iPhones into Spatial Data for World Modelshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48160091We are releasing Project Stera - an open source, end-to-end pipeline that turns a commodity iPhone into a research-grade capture system for embodied AI training data.Today, we're open-sourcing the whole stack, along with Stera-10M, a 200+ hour dataset, and 10M+ frames captured entirely through it.FPV Labs began with one bet - the scaling law for embodied AI will need high-fidelity, multimodal real-world data, and the underlying infrastructure that produces this at scale without compromising downstream quality will determine how fast we build a general-purpose model.Over the last 12 months, we've seen how high-fidelity data is locked behind gated hardware like Aria, which is out of reach for researchers, builders, and startups that want to work with high-quality multi-modal data, and how every single data lab ends up rebuilding the same harness for their own fleet.This has led to immense data fragmentation over the last year and a race to collect data that is either low-fidelity or builMay 16, 2026 1:27 PM

Have you switched to AI for heart monitoring during physical activity yet?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48145506Here's how AI can monitor your heart during physical activity AI (ACCO AI watch): your myocardium is lacking oxygen (HOV — myocardial oxygen consumption, CMBV — coronary blood flow volume); the heart beats but pumps blood inefficiently (EWK — left ventricular efficiency, CPO — cardiac power output); one of the ventricles is overloaded (LVSW — left ventricular stroke work, RVSW — right ventricular stroke work); the risk of thrombosis is increasing due to thick blood (FIB — fibrinogen activity surrogate); you are on the verge of dehydration, and the heart fills with blood worse than it should (CVP — central venous pressure, GEDV — global end-diastolic volume). Six risks. Standard fitness trackers see none of them.Measurements are taken every 5 minutes. Based on that data, the watch generates real-time alerts with three parts: Implication (what's happening to your heart right now), Evaluation (green/yellow/red zone), and Suggestion (slow down, drink water, stop, or change exercise type).May 15, 2026 7:15 AM

Last year I went months between endocrinologists with no clinician reviewing my data. I'm an engineer, so I built the tool I needed — and now I'm open sourcing it. GlycemicGPT is a self-hosted platform that connects continuous glucose monitors, insulin pumps, and existing Nightscout instances to an AI analysis layer running on your own infrastructure. Data sources:Dexcom G7 (cloud API) Tandem t:slim X2 and Mobi pumps (direct BLE) Nightscout (point it at your existing instance and you're running in minutes)What the AI layer does:Daily briefs summarizing overnight and 24-hour patterns Meal response analysis Conversational chat with RAG-backed clinical knowledge Predictive alerting with configurable thresholds and caregiver escalationImportant: this is monitoring and analysis only.

Show HN: GridTravel – A community based travel app for users to share routeshttps://www.gridtravel.appHey HN,My co-founders and I have been building GridTravel, a free iOS app for planning and sharing travel routes with turn-by-turn GPS nav. We just launched yesterday after App Store approval.We're three 21-year-old cofounders and best friends since middle school. We built GridTravel after years of frustration navigating new cities on every trip we took together.The idea: most people either search Google for "top 10 places to visit in…" lists or go on social media to get inspiration on where to go. GridTravel is built around user-generated routes — actual paths someone walked, that you can follow, save, download, and discover from other travelers. Users also have the ability to create private routes and collaborate with their friends.Tech stack: Mapbox (Nav SDK + maps), Supabase (auth, DB, storage), and Swift. Native iOS for now, Android coming soon.Our two real cost drivers are Mapbox Search (hit when users create routes) and Mapbox Navigation (hit when users use live navigation). BotMay 14, 2026 10:05 PM

Guidelines told me to avoid llm creating this message, so please, accept my apologies for the grammar in advance.In short, this is an app to unstuck overwhelmed mind and make it get dopamine with something useful instead of reels scrolling.Choose a category based on your current interest and environment. Choose difficulty level - it is not about completion time, but mostly how uncomfortable for me to do the task. Easy - normal tasks (wash the mug), legendary - I would die to do it without an app (talk to a stranger about zombie apocalypse).In “not so short”:The idea popped up from my own struggle: I never been diagnosed with adhd, but my brain is flooded with thoughts and tasks majority of time. Prioritization systems somewhat help but I give up on them and also have a hyper focus superpower that compensates it and I am fine with that.

Show HN: CrowdRank – live leaderboards for internet argumentshttps://crowdrank.appHi HN. I built CrowdRank, a small web app where people vote through head-to-head matchups and the results become a live leaderboard.Backstory:A few years ago, while I was learning to code, I wanted to build a Tinder-style voting app to rank the funniest characters from The Office. I hit a lot of dead ends, mostly on the frontend, and abandoned it.Now with a bit more technical background i rebuilt the idea as a more general platform. The backend/API is Laravel, and I used AI heavily to help build the frontend because somehow centering a div still finds ways to humble me.What did I end up building?A web based platform for ranking candidates inside different topics. There are no community-created topics yet. For now, I seeded a bunch of debates and used an Elo style ranking system, similar to chess ratings, to build a live leaderboard for each debate.No signup is needed to try it.A few example debates:- who’s actually funny in The Office?

Arena AI Model ELO Historyhttps://mayerwin.github.io/AI-Arena-History/Hi HN,I built a live tracker to visualize the lifecycle and performance changes of flagship AI models.We've all experienced the phenomenon where a flagship model feels amazing at launch, but weeks later, it suddenly feels a bit off. I wanted to see if this was just a feeling or a measurable reality, so I built a dashboard to track historical ELO ratings from Arena AI.Instead of a massive spaghetti chart of every single model variant, the logic plots exactly ONE continuous curve per major AI lab. It dynamically tracks their highest-rated flagship model over time, which makes both the sudden generational jumps and the slow performance decays much easier to see. It took quite a lot of iterations to get the chart to look nice on mobile as well. Optional dark mode included.However, I have a specific data blindspot that I'm hoping this community might have insights on.Arena AI largely relies on testing API endpoints. But as we know, consumer chat UIs often layer on heavy system prompts, safeMay 14, 2026 3:19 AM

Ask HN: Are SaaS businesses going to zero?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48130604For at least 15 years, MindBody (booking app for yoga/pilates studios) cost ~$400 AUD/month for basic functionality (there existed cheaper plans but those missed critical features).Today, it goes for $89/month - a 78% price reduction in just a couple of yearsI can only guess this is due to market saturation due to it being relatively low-hanging fruit for startups to nibble at.Such a dramatic fall in price makes me wonder if the end-game is a price war which sees all SaaS prices fall, potentially to $0 for those with low/no switching costMay 14, 2026 3:01 AM

Interestingly, they even included a dedicated doc link in the changelog this time: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/agent-viewNot sure how many people here have tried it yet. I spent a few hours with it today and found both some really nice ideas and some frustrating issues. Curious to hear other people’s experiences too.1. What is Agent View?Agent View can launch parallel Claude sessions directly, and each session automatically uses a separate git worktree for isolation, so multiple sessions can run in parallel without conflicts.The background sessions are managed by an independent supervisor process. They continue running even if the terminal or Agent View itself is closed. Closing the terminal does NOT stop the background sessions.Checking processes wMay 13, 2026 4:25 PM

Show HN: Hashiverse, an open-source decentralized social network in Rusthttps://www.hashiverse.com/en/Hashiverse (https://github.com/hashiverse/hashiverse) is an open-source decentralized social network protocol where Sybil resistance, rate limiting, peer reputation, and content moderation all fall out of one design choice: every action carries a proof-of-work cost calibrated to how much abuse it could cause. No central servers, no DNS dependency, no registration authority, no moderation team. Rust core, WASM browser client, volunteers on $5 VPS machines. Twitter-shaped (posts, follows, hashtags, timelines). The design problem that usually kills these projects on day one is Sybil resistance without a gatekeeper, so that is what I most want feedback on. Signatures and encryption are conventional (ed25519 + ML-DSA + FN-DSA, ChaCha20Poly1305, Blake3).
