Show HN: For learners who can understand English but freeze when speakinghttps://nattly.mathswariz.uk/Many intermediate learners can understand native English seamlessly, but freeze or revert to clunky, direct translations when forced to speak. Flashcards teach you to recognize words on a screen; they don't teach your brain to produce natural phrases under conversational pressure.To bridge the gao between language recognition and production I have rebuilt Nattly around a four-step loop:Meaning → Attempt → Native Alternatives → ReuseHow it works in practice:Instead of testing vocabulary isolation (“What does held up mean?”), Nattly puts you in a scenario:The Situation: Your friend asks: why you were late?Your Attempt: You answer using whatever words come to mind first.Native Alternatives: The app exposes natural ways a native British speaker would express that exact thought:"The bus held me up.""I got held up by the bus.""The bus was running late."Contextual Reuse: Those constructions reappear later in fresh, non-repetitive scenarios where they make sense contextually.https://nattly.matAug 21, 2026 10:37 AM

Ask HN: Is building military hardware and healthcare the AI-proof?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49382011As developing software as a skill becomes like flipping burgers in a fast food company, is building hardware for evergreen industries like military and healthcare the only escape for actual engineers, not prompters?Sure, it would be a lot more expensive to bring a product to market and sell, and more likely for a product to fail because of the long sale period. But at least you have a natural barrier then. You don't see some solo dev trying to compete with Apple in hardware, whereas in software nowadays there are billions of people who are your competition.Aug 21, 2026 12:12 AM

Ask HN: How to tune Emacs config for portability: Linux, macOS and Windows?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49349796I've been a GNU/Linux-only Emacs user for years, and most of my configuration has naturally evolved around that environment.Now I may need to start using macOS and Windows as well, and I'm realizing that "Emacs is cross-platform" and "my Emacs configuration is cross-platform" are two rather different things.I'm curious how people who maintain a substantial Emacs configuration approach this.My config is fairly modular and tries to stay close to vanilla Emacs where possible, using things like Elpaca, Corfu, Vertico, Eglot, etc. The Linux setup is fast and works exactly the way I want, but I don't want to end up with a giant collection of OS-specific conditionals every time I move between machines.This is my config by the way: https://codeberg.org/jjba23/heks-emacsSome things I'm particularly wondering about:- How do you handle filesystem paths and environment variables cleanly?- Do you abstract OS-specific functionality, or simply use `system-type` / `executable-find` where necessary?- HAug 18, 2026 6:00 PM

Ask HN: Do you feel comfortable admitting that you use AI?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49346906AI took the industry by storm, and naturally this generates a lot of resistance. The way I see this resistance expressing itself is in the form of certain feeling of superiority by those who refuse to use it, and a feeling of shame when admitting to using AI assistance for writing code.However, I would argue (even though I have no data back this claim up) that most developers either choose to use it or are required by their employers. I can't predict the future, so I don't know if this is an ASM vs. C kind of moment, or if those giving in to the convenience will regret it years down the line when their skills atrophy.Me personally, I use it and I feel more productive than ever. That said I can't help but feeling a bit of shame when admitting that. Hearing so many people say that AI-generated code is unusable and fixing it takes longer than writing it by hand, makes me wonder if they are working on a very specific field or I just have skill issues. Or maybe both.How much AI are you usinAug 18, 2026 3:16 PM

Show HN: Continuum – Financial simulations for DIY multimillionaireshttps://continuum-app.xyz/Hey HN, I'm Charles, the solo founder of Continuum (https://continuum-app.xyz/).Continuum is a financial planning web app for people with 1-15M. It helps you create simulations of job offers, house purchases, and life events. Its goal is to replace human advisors that cost thousands, or even worse, take AUM fees of 1%.The MVP includes AI voice onboarding, scenario and mural creation, and 4 modules. The simulation math engine is code to ensure determinism. The LLMs don't do any simulation math.Demo: https://youtu.be/EDUK26Rs0cE?si=hCSdgSDkgKJt3Ni2The biggest technical challenge has been tuning the mural generation not to hallucinate. Lot's of weird bugs!The most fun part has been playing with the founder equity offers.

Show HN: Simple algorithm and color space to generate diverse skin toneshttps://toneyalexander.github.io/inclusive-color-space/Hello HN!I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy.I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has.The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for others as I have found it! There's lots of room for improvements (see the Future Work section), but I'm really happy with how it turned out.Aug 4, 2026 3:16 PM

Show HN: I built a hypervisor and client for inference on consumer computehttps://scalattice.com/blog/openai-sdk-scalattice/I'm the founder of Scalattice, this is my second company, third total product. I'm a 2x founder building some challenging software, some easy software, and some curiosity based tools that I've just always wanted to be a part of!So here is Scalattice.Scalattice is an OpenAI-compatible inference API. You keep the OpenAI SDK, swap base_url + API key, and call open models (Qwen3, Llama 3.3 70B, Gemma 3, DeepSeek R1, etc.). Inference is performed by a provider node on our distributed network of consumer hosted inference machines, we run an open source agent (https://github.com/scalattice/scalattice-agent) which works in Rust to run the inference and get the provider paid.In short, anyone can become a provider, offer up their machine with our Windows/Linux Rust agent, and earn some extra cash, or start a farm of machines to make big bucks.I decided to build some innovative behavioural traits to the API for higher performance/security: 1. output vetting - Scalattice Cloud vets the response agJul 26, 2026 5:43 AM

What you are looking at is the result of pure architectural discipline. To handle massive global budgets, complex subcontractor workflows, and real-time synchronization with massive enterprise CAD suites, I engineered a closed-loop, self-aware data object model. The data objects carry their own application logic and database schemas. It is a zero-exception, self-contained architecture that eliminates the need for lazy, nested error handling. It runs perfectly because it mathematically cannot run corruptly. It has a bidirectional interface to Revit, the same software Boeing used to design their jets.I bring 30+ years of deep engineering experience across both Microsoft and Linux stacks. I am a SQL/relational database expert, a masterful architect of rugged backend APIs, and highly experienced in deep enterprise integrations.I am out of the large-scaleJun 25, 2026 4:09 AM

Show HN: Magenta Real-Time Music Generation Locally on iPhone, Without the GPUhttps://github.com/mattmireles/magenta-realtime-2-iphoneLast Thursday, Deepmind released Magenta Realtime 2 , an open source music generation model. They said it could run on Mac, but not iPhone.As a v̵i̵b̵e̵ ̵c̵o̵d̵i̵n̵g̵ ̵a̵d̵d̵i̵c̵t̵ agentic AI maxxi and person who has melted iPhones before (link at bottom), I took that as a personal challenge and made it my weekend project.On Saturday, I got it to run for 10min straight on an iPhone 12 Pro from 2020 without melting the phone or - shockingly - touching the GPU.How? I chopped the model up into 5 pieces and set them each to run on different parts of Apple's system on a chip (SoC).My past experience taught me that if you can actually leverage it, the iPhone's NPU is incredibly powerful, and power efficient. If you're doing sustained real-time generation for long periods of time on a device without a fan, you gotta use the neural engine or else you will melt the device.See: https://accelerateordie.com/p/we-melted-iphones-for-scienceThe Apple Neural Engine has a ton of constraints, the main oJun 10, 2026 10:22 PM
