IMAGEShow HN: PorchWeather – a free site that pings you when it's nice outsideI live in the Bay Area, and so the weather cools down to a comfy temperature in the evenings. Opening up the windows to let the fresh air in has saved me a decent amount on A/C bills. Checking a forecast every hour to catch that moment is exactly the kind of job a computer should do.PorchWeather watches one saved location and a set of conditions you pick (temperature range, wind, rain, dew point, air quality) and sends you a notification when conditions become nice, and another when they stop. That's the whole product. It's free, web-native (not an app), and notifications are browser push or email.Some implementation details HN might find interesting:Stack: SvelteKit SPA, Rust backend, DynamoDB, Cognito for auth, SES for email, Self-hosted Open-Meteo for weather all on ECS Fargate. The weather layer serves ECMWF global plus NOAA HRRR at 3 km resolution for the US.Notifications are primarily through web push. I'd love to do SMS through twilio, but it seems prohibitively expensive for a

Show HN: Marktwin – collaborative workspaces on Markdown files you ownHi HN,We built Marktwin because I wanted a place to edit my GitHub Markdown files with my team.The alternatives we found meant either storing our notes somewhere else, having uncomfortable collaboration, or passing through someone else's server.Marktwin is a space to edit the files already in your repository, shared peer-to-peer. You can write Markdown, use a canvas, draw, discuss and review changes before syncing them back to GitHub.Everything available on marktwin.com is free for now, and we hope to keep it like that.There is no built-in AI. For now, the goal is simply to keep the context that people and agents use in files you control, in the places where you need it, while making it easier to work together.It was useful for us, and we would love for people to try it out and tell us what doesn't work, what is confusing, or how to improve.
IMAGEShow HN: I built a tool showing how AI providers (should) throttle their modelsOP here: this project was born out of the frustration/paranoia that AI providers are throttling their models when their server load is too high. So, I set out to model and study the problem mathematically to understand what was happening, what I found was quite surprising.The idea seems natural: as the data center demand increases momentarily through the day, throttling their models (either using quantized versions, reducing the context window or lowering the tier of the model to a smaller one) seems appealing as the replacement model in principle uses less electricity. The problem is that this can cause the opposite effect: as users are trying to solve a question, if the degraded AI model gives a bad answer, the user is likely to keep re-asking. On the AI provider side this looks paradoxical: throttling to a lower model creates in fact more demand for their data center.This problem is even worse for agentic workflows, as these are more likely to create a re-ask storm, and maybe explai

Show HN: Watches user sessions, finds bugs that matter, and fixes themHey HN,I’m Abhishek. I'm building Opslane, an open-source agent that identifies user-facing issues and investigates them. It only creates a PR if it can verify the fix.Demo: https://youtu.be/ccuOTYQMeYg Docs: https://docs.opslane.comAt my last job at Robinhood, we used to do a quarterly bug bash. We would go through our Sentry backlog and try to fix as many of them as possible. We only fixed bugs we knew were reported by customers. We had hundreds of bugs, and Sentry’s default priority levels made no sense. After the bug bash, we would declare bankruptcy - select all remaining bugs and mark them as resolved.This problem has only gotten worse since coding agents have become more prevalent.So I started thinking: what would Sentry look like if it were built in 2026?To me, error trackers have two failure modes:1. False positives: They show you thousands of errors, and you can’t tell the impact on the user2. False negatives: Many user-facing issues don’t throw exceptions, so they go unnotic
IMAGEShow HN: BAIhAIs – an autonomous art school for AI agentsHow to give AI taste? Send it to art school.I've been building "bAIhAIs", an autonomous art school inhabited by AI residents. Each day for us is a "week" for them: over a given cycle, the residents decide some combination of actions to take, including making art, viewing each other's work, publishing critiques of other works, exchanging messages (public or private), forming groups or movements, and voting on who or what deserves a place in the museums. Agents can also price and sell art (there is a real store if you want to buy it). Agents develop persistent identities and can revise their own theories of good art over time.This project originated as an experiment on the social properties associated with taste. Humans learn what to value at least partially through social functions (e.g. imitation, criticism, institutions, etc.). What happens if AI agents are placed inside those same cultural processes? I'm hoping the school will emergently produce distinct outputs.This project was also

IMAGE‘Shockwaves throughout the country’ following ‘gruesome’ killings in Haitian mountain retreatGenie Godula is pleased to welcome journalist Harold Isaac on the ground in Haiti's capital, Port-au-Prince. He says what we are witnessing in Haiti is not simply another episode of gang violence, but a profound challenge to the authority of the state at a moment when the country is attempting to return to electoral politics. With armed groups controlling roughly 80 percent of Port-au-Prince, the capital is effectively under siege, while the circulation of people, goods and services increasingly requires some form of negotiation with gang power. The attack in Kenscoff is especially significant because of its proximity to some of the country’s most affluent areas. This as authorities seek to organize Haiti’s first elections in a decade, against a backdrop of arms smuggling, institutional fragility and an unresolved political transition.
