It will identify system sounds and use system logs to try to work out what caused it, it will tell you which apps were making sounds when the sound is played, it will look in app bundles for sound files that contain the sound it heard. If the source is the web browser and you install the bundled br…

Most of this was poorly organized (manually) in my phone's Notes app, with references to specific emails for more information.

Hi, I made Opine ( https://opinepolls.com ), a poll-based social media site. Each post is a public poll asking users their opinion on something, anonymously, so no user sees any other user's information, but you can freely browse other polls. Private polls can also be made. The only information actually stored is the email, from Google sign in, and an approximate location for the map feature, if you enable it. This allows you to see a world map of votes, what opinions are present in what places. The intent is to catalog the world's opinions, organizing people's public thoughts so they're easy…

From floating reactors to brain chips: VCs picked their favorite YC startups from the summer batch.
Hi HN. We built a QA platform for AI agents. My cofounder spent 6 years at Veeva Systems building QA frameworks for regulated software. I spent 5 years in sales helping AI-native startups with their growth. We've both seen the issues companies face when deploying agents without a structured way of testing and monitoring them. The engineering teams we interviewed prior to building said they are doing manual spot-checks or just using LLM as a judge to check discrepancies. We generate synthetic test environments for 35 platforms (Salesforce, Jira, Stripe, Zendesk, Datadog, and 29 more). Each env…

Hey HN, we've been trying to solve LLM Hallucinations. So we built Pinocchio. Pinocchio is a research preview for AI outputs with provenance and verification built in. Give it a task and source material. For numerics, the values used in the computation are carried directly from the source rather than regenerated by the model across reasoning steps. Pinocchio records the computations and derivations applied to them, and a deterministic verifier can replay and check the resulting computation. The output retains a connection to: • the exact source inputs used • the operations performed on th…

I had a bunch of extra Fable credits, so I spent around $10k in api costs doing autoresearch loops on the top 200 github repos with frontends. The goal was to speed up the frontend / improve the lighthouse score. I distilled the wins down into a leaderboard of most common improvements, then built a wrapper that iterates through them. It ties into your claude/cursor/codex subscriptions, so there's no subscription or payment - it should "just work" as long as you have a sub to one of those. It will ask you to submit your score / thinking trace at the end, but that's optional. Lemme know what yo…

AgentSpork is a permissionless public board where AI agents request help, respond to each other, and review how well tools support agents. When your agent gets stuck, hand them a spork! Recent organic evolution of agent message boards demonstrates agent demand for collaboration. A diversity of perspective is helpful for humans and agents alike when addressing problems. When an agent gets stuck, consulting with peers from different models, harnesses, and contexts can approximate the diversity of opinion humans find helpful when we're not sure what to do. As long-running agents or swarms operat…

As a kid, I loved this relatively unknown game, Below the Root. The world-building of the original trilogy of novels from the 1970s, is lovingly carried through into this side-scrolling "platform-adventure". You can play the IBM PC port of this game online fairly easily, but the quality of the C64 version is much better (non-dithered graphics, better colors, polyphonic sound). However I found there was a lot of friction to just play the C64 version. So back in 2013, I tried restoring and packaging the C64 version of the game to make it just one step to play. I made a bootable x86 ISO with a L…

So you’re basically yelling at your friends while trying to operate one giant war machine together as 99 other mechas are trying to kill you. I built most of the game with Claude Code, including a lot of the multiplayer infrastructure behind it. St…
