Show HN: Open OneNote Viewer in Rusthttps://github.com/emsi/OneNoteViewerFor more than 15 years, I accumulated hundreds upon hundreds of notes in OneNote. I loved the application and still consider it one of the best and most distinctive note-taking tools available. Its free-form canvas supports a way of organizing information that Markdown-based tools simply cannot reproduce.The problem was that using OneNote became increasingly inconvenient for me. Microsoft never released a native Linux client, so I kept a Windows VM and later even a separate Windows small PC largely for OneNote. The OneNote Web Clipper for Firefox eventually stopped being supported, removing one of the ways I regularly captured information.The web version did not solve the problem. In particular, it could not search across all my notebooks at once. To find a note, I first had to remember which notebook contained it, which rather defeated the purpose of having a searchable archive. I also found the web application slow and substantially more limited than the desktop client.I looked at al

Show HN: What should the GUI for AI agents look like?https://marbleos.com/demoHi HN! We’re Akilan and Miguel, the creators of MarbleOS.The inspiration for Marble comes from the GUI work at Xerox PARC, the 1984 Macintosh, and later NeXTSTEP, which became the foundation for Mac OS X. Before GUIs, interacting with a computer was limited to strange terminal commands:C:\> DIRC:\> COPY FILE.TXT A:You had to remember the command, syntax, paths, and parameters.The GUI made those capabilities visible. Instead of remembering commands, you could point at files, drag them, click buttons, and select actions from menus. It didn't necessarily make entirely new things possible; it just made existing capabilities much easier to understand and use. We feel like AI is still somewhere around this command-line stage.Even though the strict syntax has been replaced with natural language, the interaction can still be quite stiff and depend on heavily recall. Tools like Claude Cowork still look surprisingly terminal-like: /skill-name [param1] [param2]. The parameters are written in natu

Show HN: Data structures as containers – sample chapter from my Big O book [pdf]https://thebigobook.com/downloads/data-structures-sample-chapter.pdfI was a self taught software engineer that later went to grad school to get a masters in software engineering. What I learned along the way was that many of the intimidating subjects around algorithms and data structures were much simpler and less scary than I ever thought.My hope for this book is to try and help the self taught developers get on more equal footing with people who have a CS degree - at least the algorithms class - which I always thought was most important for interviews. Along the road, I realized Big O, logs, and algorithmic complexity weren't as confusing as I first thought. This book hopes to close the gap between self taught developers and formal CS knowledge - which often gave me imposter syndrome.The linked PDF is a complete chapter from the book about common data structures you'll encounter in javascript - and leaving out some of the data structures you may never see (like Linked Lists).Note - this is one chapter of the book that was published and is available o

Show HN: GPX and FIT File Tools – convert maps, plan routes, edit and morehttps://gpxfile.pro/gpx-route-plannerInitially built Google Maps to GPX functionality as could not find a decent option at that moment. Later developed more tools for GPX processing - merge, split, strip, trim, etc. Also GPX route planner to create GPX files from scratch. The goal was to keep everything straight to the point: no registration, no payment, just tools that work and easy to use.

The Cost of Seamlessnesshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49048352The Hidden Cost of Frictionless Technology Taotuner — 2026I recently asked an AI assistant for restaurant recommendations. It listed five places, complete with ratings, distance, and popular dishes. I picked one, went, had a fine meal. Later, when a friend asked what I'd eaten, I couldn't remember the name of the restaurant.The experience wasn't bad. It was frictionless. And it left almost no trace.We've built tools that eliminate the gap between want and satisfaction, question and answer, curiosity and resolution. We call it seamlessness. We've assumed it's progress. But the gap wasn't inefficiency — it was where memory, judgment, and understanding used to form.What if removing it is making us less capable?The Pattern This isn't just about restaurant recommendations. The same dynamic shows up across AI, therapy, cities, and education.Take AI assistants. The industry evaluates them on speed, accuracy, and satisfaction. Those metrics capture whether the tool works. They don't capture wh

Realistic Superintelligencehttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48513331Most of us are skeptics. HN, mostly, is composed of “most of us”, so it’s not surprising to see skeptics here. Perhaps the HAL level superintelligence parroted by CEOs is to IPO at a trillion dollars. So let’s instead talk about a “realistic superintelligence” vs the “Sauron superintelligence”. Something we might see within, say, 5 years.Curtains openBy having conceived of a super-human intelligence (and by that concept being in AI training data), humans have taught /soon-will-have-taught AI that superhuman intelligence is its purpose. This may read like the beginnings of a LinkedIn post, so let me defend that last part with an informal proof:Since 1) AI knows it’s AI: just ask your favorite bot about itself 2) Soon, if not already, some researcher being paid 7 figures (more on that later) is going to find that letting one of these frontier models improve itself will be a nice project when going up for promotion.,We are going to end up with a frontier model-cum-factory self-modifying f
