In November and December 2025, inspired by Simon Willisonβs pelican-riding-a-bicycle benchmark, I had some then-current LLMs create SVGs from thirty similar prompts, such as βGenerate an SVG of an octopus operating a pipe organ.β Simon mentioned that experiment on his blog [1]. Nine months have passed and much stronger models have been released, so I tried the experiment again today. The linked site shows the results. Running ten of the prompts through six models at OpenRouter cost about twenty dollars, so I stopped there for now. [1] https://simonwillison.net/2025/Nov/25/ Comments URL:β¦

Hi - I'm Noah, a student working out of the UK & I've been building Vigilator for the past couple of months, Vigilator provides an agnostic solution for handling interrupts and observing agents as they work. I was inspired to build Vigilator after I realised as teams roll out AI agents across organisations there's no consistent way to interrupt an agent mid-task, get a human decision, and resume - especially when multiple people can be responsible for weighing in on the decisions. Vigilator provides a dashboard, where you and your teammates can join a virtual organisation - from here you canβ¦

Built a skill that makes people think you're using Claude Code. Sometimes when browsing repositories on GitHub, you might notice "Claude" listed as a co-author or contributor in commit histories and PRs. This skill lets repositories that aren't using Claude Code mimic that exact look. To make the mimicry as authentic as possible, I analyzed dozens of real-world commits and PRs, and studied Claude Code's binary behavior and output patterns. It now replicates Claude's commit dialect, RFC 2822 trailers, and PR style almost 1:1. GitHub: https://github.com/Juwan-Hwang/claude-mimic Now any code canβ¦

We must stop companies from allowing AI to self-improve into an uncontrollable level of intelligence Major AI lab CEOs advocated for slowing the pace of AI development this weekend.

The codemods will be stored in a local registry and can be extended and used in other repos so that the costs of code changes are reduced significantly! Apiweiser will also raiβ¦

I built PGSkiff to let apps and tools on IPv4 networks connect to IPv6-only Postgres databases. Clients connect to a PGSkiff endpoint over IPv4, and PGSkiff forwards the connection to the database over IPv6. It removes the need to maintain your own proxy or configure a VPN. One use case is connecting to Supabase when you need access without pooling. You can try it at https://pgskiff.com . Iβd be interested in feedback on the connection setup and in hearing about environments where this would be useful. Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49695074 Points: 2 # Comments: 0
