Show HN: Helm Terminal – Free portfolio intelligence that tells you what to dohttps://helmterminal.devHi HN,I'm the solo founder of Helm Terminal (helmterminal.dev). It's a free portfolio analytics tool that connects to your accounts via Plaid and surfaces actionable insights and intelligence. Concentration risk, tax-loss harvesting, earnings exposure, idle cash, sector drift, etc. Automatically, every day.Every other portfolio tracker/brokerage I've tried showed me balances and pie charts but never informed me what to do or what was going on. I'd check my accounts, see things were generally "fine", and move on. Then I realized I'd been sitting on thousands of dollars in unharvested tax losses, 60%+ of my portfolio was exposed to tech, and I didn't know half of my positions were reporting earnings soon.Helm is the tool I built to fix all of these issues, and a tool I wish existed. It runs on a set of intelligence engines on top of your connected accounts and gives you a prioritized inbox of things worth doing, as well as news tailored to your holdings worth looking at.

Show HN: A music player built for Steam Deck with full gamepad navigationhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47675416Hi everyone, my name is Oleg. I’ve been using the Steam Deck OLED for over a year and a half, and I love it. It’s not perfect, but as a portable gaming PC it’s revolutionary in hardware and software design.I use it for gaming both portable and on my TV, sometimes connected to a NAS and even a GPU dock for heavier titles. It’s basically my main gaming machine now.One thing has always bothered me: there’s no decent audio player for Steam Deck. Yes, there are dozens of Linux music players, but they either have terrible interfaces, are overloaded, or just don’t feel right with a gamepad. Moving a mouse with the joystick works, but it’s tedious on the couch, especially when the Deck is connected to a TV. Fonts are tiny, navigation is awkward.So I decided to build my own player. I’ve been coding for personal projects for 12+ years, including two music players (for VK and Yandex Music), a movie streaming app, a terminal ChatGPT assistant, and other tools. My goal is to make a player that work

High-Temperature Superconductivity of Pure Mg Metals, UFOs and Cuprateshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47627331The retired physics professor Auguste Meessen [1] has studied the UFO phenomenon since the late 1960s. From witness reports, he concluded that these craft must use an electromagnetic propulsion system [2].He then developed the Pulsed ElectroMagnetic Propulsion (PEMP) system [3]. The principle is that the vehicle generates an intense alternating magnetic field and ionises the surrounding air at precisely the right time and location. This produces a Lorentz force which, by reaction, propels the craft.He went on to investigate how such an intense alternating magnetic field could be generated in practice. This led him to discover a new type of oscillator with remarkable properties — one that requires the outer shell of the craft to be superconducting [4]. This has the convenient side effect of shielding the occupants from the intense magnetic field. If correct, this implies that superconductivity at very high temperatures — well above room temperature — is not only feasible but has been ma

Ask HN: Is it still worth making "Huge" Language Models for dev tools?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47599270I just want to ask the frontier builders and developers who are working on the flagship models a few questions. Is it still cost-efficient and worth it to keep making huge language models, when smaller, specialized models should be enough?Meaning that, when a user is working in a codebase with a certain framework, should the agent/model also know the complete chemical composition of an element, world history, and other random facts? Or should it only know the related and needed things? For example, an agent working in a MERN stack should really only know:- Language Documentation - Framework and Library Documentation - English Interpretation - Composition and Combination of the aboveThe writing style and other details are already customized by developers who have been building for a long time; tools like Prettier and ESLint can do this. And in engineering, aren't the steps usually:- What is needed? - What are we working with? - What is the end goal? - What should be the best combination

Show HN: Coasts – Containerized Hosts for Agentshttps://github.com/coast-guard/coastsHi HN - We've been working on Coasts (“containerized hosts”) to make it so you can run multiple localhost instances, and multiple docker-compose runtimes, across git worktrees on the same computer. Here’s a demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRiySdGQZZA. There are also videos in our docs that give a good conceptual overview: https://coasts.dev/docs/learn-coasts-videos.Agents can make code changes in different worktrees in isolation, but it's hard for them to test their changes without multiple localhost runtimes that are isolated and scoped to those worktrees as well. You can do it up to a point with port hacking tricks, but it becomes impractical when you have a complex docker-compose with many services and multiple volumes.We started playing with Codex and Conductor in the beginning of this year and had to come up with a bunch of hacky workarounds to give the agents access to isolated runtimes. After bastardizing our own docker-compose setup, we came up with Coasts as a way for ag

Show HN: I made an AI that reviews iPhone apps – 1h of autonomous GUI workhttps://understudy-ai.github.io/understudy/I've been building Understudy, an open-source GUI agent for macOS. Wanted to push the GUI stuff beyond the usual short demos, so I tried turning it into an iPhone app reviewer.You give it one prompt. It browses the real App Store in Chrome, installs the app on a real iPhone through macOS iPhone Mirroring (not a simulator), opens the app and explores it — never seen Snapseed before — records clips and screenshots, composites a narrated review video with FFmpeg locally, uploads it to YouTube, then deletes the app. About an hour, didn't touch the keyboard.The exploration part is what I'm happiest with. The agent reads the App Store description, goes "they say background removal works, let me try that," and then figures out an unfamiliar app on its own. It regrounds from the live screenshot every action, so unexpected dialogs or UI changes don't kill it.The reason it can sustain an hour of work: each of the 6 stages runs as a separate child session with its own context.

Show HN: AI career guides for software career familyhttps://www.ai-proof-careers.com/industry/software-technologyI created a set of career guides to help people adapt or pivot their career. The job market has been really tough for more entry level roles like "Computer Programmer" aka junior SWE or Web Developers. Job opening #s are dropping and employers are expecting more AI skills. So I tried to show things like which tasks are getting automated, what are hiring trends, and which emerging AI-native jobs ppl can try to pivot to.Full data and scripts are here, sorry they're super messy. https://github.com/yoyothesheep/ai-resilient-occupations-dat...What am I missing?

XReplicator – eBPF-based server backups that track only changed disk sectorshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47527328I've been in cloud/platform engineering for a decade. One thing that always frustrated me: every backup tool either relies on fragile kernel modules for change block tracking, or does full-disk scans even when 1% of data changed. So we built XReplicator. It uses eBPF tracepoints to track dirty sectors at the block device layer — no kernel modules, no hypervisor APIs, no cloud-specific hooks. The agent runs inside the VM and works on any platform. Kernel devs called me mad for using eBPF for disk data replication. But the numbers speak for themselves:Full backup: ~17 minutes Incremental after 1.4% change: ~2 minutes Incremental after 0.4% change: ~56 seconds 71x less data scanned vs full backup 65–72% storage savings (LZ4 + block-level dedup)No kernel module compilation per kernel version, no reboots, sandboxed execution via the eBPF verifier. Restore at file, partition, or full disk level from any point in the chain. Honest caveat: the eBPF path only works on Linux kernel 5.10+. For le

Ask HN: Has Claude Code quality level degraded lately?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47526097Last week or so, I have been noticing Claude Code has been significantly challenged in keeping its stuff together. On a Max plan, using Opus 4.6 with thinking in Chat window (I use code as well, but this is just an example), asked it to create a web page that spits out a few different layouts/designs and its a single page web page, asked it to add ai to generate new designs.It kept messing up aspect ratio, and forgets to add the AI feature, I know what you are thinking, may be the prompts are off... but its like 'oh I forgot to add the AI feature, let me add it' and then no 'AI Feature' in its output.Driving me nuts, figured I would ask here to see if its just me or more people are seeing noticeable degradation of their experience recently...

Show HN: VeilVault – an Android password manager built to stay localhttps://veilvault.codeveil.de/index.en.htmlI used to keep important passwords in ways that were a lot more primitive than they should have been, mostly because I never fully got comfortable with putting everything behind an account or cloud sync by default.That eventually turned into building the password manager I actually wanted to use myself: Android-only, local-first, offline-first, and built around keeping the vault on-device.I’ve been using it daily for a while now, and that shaped the app more than trying to chase a giant feature checklist.It’s called VeilVault. I published the crypto/storage core separately for anyone who wants to inspect the local encryption and storage side.

New Open Source from Non-Traditional Builderhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47477073Let me begin by saying that I am not a traditional builder with a traditional background. From the onset of this endeavor until today it has just been me, my laptop, and my ideas I learned how systems work through trial and error, and I built these platforms because after an exhaustive search I discovered a need. I am fully aware that a 54 year old fantasy novelist with no formal training creating one experimental platform, let alone three, in his kitchen, on a commercial grade Dell stretches credulity to the limits (or beyond). But I am hoping that my work speaks for itself. Although admittedly, it might speak to my insane bullheadedness and unwillingness to give up on an idea. So, if you are thinking I am delusional, I allow for that possibility. But I sure as hell hope not. With that said I have released three large software systems that I have been developing privately. These projects were built as a solo effort, outside institutional or commercial backing, and are now being made a

Launch HN: Sitefire (YC W26) – Automating actions to improve AI visibilityhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47457472Hi HN! We're Vincent and Jochen from sitefire (https://sitefire.ai). Our platform makes it easy for brands to improve their visibility in AI search.We’ve been working together for years and have backgrounds in RL/optimization at Stanford and software engineering. We came to this idea after speaking with marketing teams who were seeing declining traffic due to Google’s AI Overviews and didn’t know what to do.This space can feel esoteric. Many case studies, few actual studies. Constant battle against myths (e.g. you need a llms.txt vs. you don't need a llms.txt) and "GEO hacks". We try to be more data-driven. And we try to be more bold and build a system that not only monitors, but actually improves traffic from AI search.While Google performs a single search, AI search engines expand the user prompt into 3-10 fan-out queries. The sourced pages are ranked using a classified algorithm similar to Reciprocal Rank Fusion (RFF). Finally, the LLMs skim the pages and decide what snippets to cit

Show HN: Lukan – An open-source agentic workstation in a single Rust binaryhttps://lukan.aiHi HN, I've been building Lukan, an open-source (MIT) agentic workstation that runs entirely as a single Rust binary with zero runtime dependencies. I started this because I wanted a unified workstation optimized for my own productivity. My goal was to build an environment where I could securely remote into my machine from anywhere, seamlessly view and modify local files, and run AI agents or drop into a terminal side-by-side, all integrated with a rich set of built-in tools. Here is what makes it different: Multi-agent sessions: Run multiple agents in parallel, each with its own isolated context and history. You can switch between them using tabs, resume after disconnects, and even rewind to previous checkpoints. Embedded terminal: A full tmux-backed terminal lives inside the Web and Desktop UI. Sessions survive page reloads and network drops. You can run any CLI tool alongside your agent (including Claude Code, Codex CLI, Lukan Cli, etc.). Pipelines & Background workers: DAG-based mu

Hubble unexpectedly catches comet breaking uphttps://www.esa.int/Science_Exploration/Space_Science/Hubble_unexpectedly_catches_comet_breaking_upComet K1, whose full name is Comet C/2025 K1 (ATLAS), had just passed its closest approach to the Sun and was heading out of the Solar System. Though it had been intact just days before, K1 fragmented into at least four pieces while the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope was watching. The odds of that happening while Hubble viewed the comet are extraordinarily miniscule.
