Show HN: WinCore – Open-Source Windows Utilities for AI and PyTorchWinCore is a free and open-source Python library designed specifically to address practical problems when working with AI and PyTorch on Windows.It provides utilities for CPU/GPU management, memory handling, diagnostics, system detection, PyTorch compilation and precision, multi-GPU workflows, Windows-aware I/O, caching, and more.WinCore 0.6.3 is now publicly released.

IMAGELaunch HN: Voltair (YC W26) – Drone and charging network for power utilitiesHey HN! We’re Hayden, Ronan, Avi, and Warren of Voltair (https://voltairlabs.com/). We’re making weatherized, hybrid-fixed drones deployed for power utility inspections.Here’s some footage: https://vimeo.com/1173862237/ac28095cc6?share=copy&fl=sv&fe=... and a photo of our latest prototype: https://imgur.com/a/bYHnqZ4.The U.S. has 7M miles of power lines (enough to go to the moon and back 14 times), and they're aging. Over 50% of all power flows through transformers that are at least 30 years old, which is about when they start to fail.Power line conductors are just bare metal with 4,000-765,000 volts sitting on ceramic insulators, usually held up by pieces of wood. It’s a cost effective and relatively reliable way to move power. But when the wood starts to rot, or the cotter pin falls out, and a live conductor is dropped on a dead tree on a windy day, you get devastating wildfires like the Palisades Fire in LA last year.Most utilities solve this problem with foot patrols.

IMAGEShow HN: Prism.Tools – Free and privacy-focused developer utilitiesHi HN, I'm Barry and I've built Prism.Tools (https://blgardner.github.io/prism.tools/) – a collection of client-side developer utilities that respect your privacy.Many of these tools were used way back in the days when I ran a BBS and started my communities first ISP, serving three local communities with Dial-Up Internet, Web Hosting etc. The tools have been refined to reflect the changes in tech since then and designed for the Novice and Pro alike.

Zero tracking, zero analytics, zero data collection – everything processes locally. Self-contained HTML files with no build process or frameworks.I realized I had a lot of tools/utilities I've built over the years for my own use. I lothe having to 'sign-up' just t
