Deepseek generated Blender harness in 7USD. I wanted to remake my 6DoF spaceship flying prototype. What I did not want to do was model the spaceship. Manually. In Blender. So instead of spending a month learning to model, I built a Copilot inside Blender in a day. Which is the same thing, except I still cannot model. A chat panel in the 3D viewport sidebar. I type a sentence. The model writes Python, and it runs against my actual scene, the file open on screen, not a copy that some other process has to keep in sync. Then I sat down and had a conversation with my own addon. Five sentences: 1.…

Malbolge was the first programming language I ever tried. Cocytus is my tribute to it (with engineering inside). It was named after 9th circle of Dante’s Hell, and its 4 zones are semantics, i.e in Judecca every memory address has an access budget and when it runs out, its freezes. Also the compiler is made in Cocytus and compiles itself until output is byte to byte identical across 3 stages. Generally useless in purpose. Happy to answer your questions!

I love making diagrams to help understand, plan, etc. However, the options are (A) auto-placement languages like Mermaid or Graphviz (which don't let me decide how the diagram looks), or (B) software like Draw.io which are powerful but are very time consuming (and inefficient for agents to manipulate). I wanted to have the benefits of both, where you can define a diagram in a diagram language, but also retain a high degree of control over what the diagram looks like. I also wanted this to work well for humans and agents. On the Github link, there's a playground where you can try it out withou…

The tech giant has launched a cute ‘little guy’ that can answer emails, book travel or do your weekly food shop After the recent backlash against Meta’s so-called “pervert” smartglasses, this week Mark Zuckerberg launched a much cuter alternative: the Muse “charm” device. With a screen that shows a cutesy little avatar, it has drawn comparisons with Tamagotchis. “We’ve packed a lot of technology into this little guy,” the Meta founder told the San Francisco audience .

Hey I've been working for about 8 years on a new kind of Trading Card Game (TCG) that doesn't rely on drawing cards, shuffling and the inherent randomness to those kinds of games. It's already developed and fully working - playable through a browser (mobile/tablet/desktop responsive) and I'm now running a campaign in gamefound.com to open-source the whole thing. It sits perhaps between a variant of chess - in the sense that you always have access to all your "cards" - and a traditional TCG - in the sense that it's still an imperfect-information game, as you don't know what your opponent has.…

I am a product manager, and in the last few months I got laid off, coupled with a disruptive job market. Due to this, I used to scroll short-form content a lot; I was a slave to it, and anything I picked to read had me going back to scrolling. This became a reading comprehension problem; my attention span was clearly in decline; I found that a lot of people were also not able to read without an assist like a physical book or an ebook, especially for readers with ADHD/Dyslexia - this problem was hard-hitting. So I built Hushbook- a read-along audiobook app that helps you read while you listen.…

Hello HN, It started as an experiment: can Claude play chess properly if it uses vision instead of PGN notation? Somehow it can. The next experiment was to see whether Claude + Stockfish could explain a game. Somehow it can too. A few sessions later, I had a system that takes my live audio notes (or text, for that matter) and a vague instruction like "analyze my last lichess game", and gives me a commented video of the game. The result is not perfect and it takes time to deliver (an hour or so), but for me it is a much more pleasant and memorable experience than clicking around Stockfish bran…
