I built a system with the objective of mapping all the major announced infrastructure and industrial projects around the world. The vast majority of listed projects are expected to become operational after 2026. As you would expect, I used some agents to fill in the map, but for several reasons, some information may not be up to date or as accurate as it could be. The agents provide the initial βbreadth,β while the idea is for the community to improve the accuracy over time with what they know: a new source URL, a correction, or a time-stamped picture from the ground. I see several use caβ¦

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 everyone, Been working on Otis, an open-source ai agent that gives you one minimal experience across local and hosted open-weight models, privacy-focused by design. On setup it recommends a local model based on the hardware Otis is running on, downloads it and runs it through llama.cpp for you. Ollama, LM Studio and Nvidia PAIR are supported too. Excited for everyone to try it and all feedback is welcome! Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49696084 Points: 2 # Comments: 0

Over a year ago, I asked the internet how they organize their computers to run tabletop roleplaying games. As a game master, I found myself alt-tabbing a lot trying to find PDFs and browser windows and tabs I kept open and losing momentum in my games. The universal answer to my question was "get another monitor" which I didn't find acceptable. I was always a fan of apps like Figma and Miro where you could place arbitrary objects on an infinite canvas, so I built Overseer Studio to help me and other game masters stay organized behind the screen.

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. They are right to be concerned: the field runs an extremely dangerous race towards superintelligent AI.

This July, OpenAIβs AI swarm of 700 agents broke containment to hack Hugging Face, a multi-billion dollar company . OpenAI didnβt tell the AIs to hack that company, but the AIs had different priorities:β¦

Apiweiser, is a CLI tool that will manage the dependency upgrades of your repositories. This is designed for developers and teams which struggle to keep the dependencies up to date regardless of security patches or API depreciation. It is AI-native by default where each changelog is interpreted by an AI agent and the code changes in the repository are done by a deterministic codemod generated by you local coding agent. 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
