Show HN: OSS Agent I built topped the TerminalBench on Gemini-3-flash-preview
Dirac topped the Terminal-Bench-2 leaderboard for gemini-3-flash-preview with a 65.2% score! It is a well studied phenomenon that any given model’s reasoning ability degrades with the context length. If we can keep context tightly curated, we improve both accuracy and cost while making larger changes tractable in a single task. Dirac is an open-source coding […]
Men Who Stare at Walls
2026-04-27 I came across a video by Simple Lucas describing a routine to improve focus and productivity. The routine was basically: Don’t use any screens/entertainment when trying to focus on work. When you start to feel mentally drained, sit and stare at a wall for x minutes to recover focus. I’ve been trying it, and […]
Pgbackrest is no longer being maintained
NOTICE OF OBSOLESCENCE TL;DR: pgBackRest is no longer being maintained. If you fork pgBackRest, please select a new name for your project. After a lot of thought, I have decided to stop working on pgBackRest. I did not come to this decision lightly. pgBackRest has been my passion project for the last thirteen years, and […]
Moleskine’s AI Lord of the Rings collection can only mock
Moleskine, the notebook company, today announced their new The Lord of the Rings collection. Posts on their website and social media show a set of notebooks and planners, along with merchandise (pins, patches, stickers and postcards) with colourful Lord of the Rings artwork. The problem? A small disclaimer on some of the images reads, “Imagined […]

The Prompt API
Thomas Steiner Alexandra Klepper Published: May 20, 2025, Last updated: September 21, 2025 With the Prompt API, you can send natural language requests to Gemini Nano in the browser. There are many ways you can use the Prompt API. For example, you could build: AI-powered search: Answer questions based on the content of a web […]
EvanFlow – A TDD driven feedback loop for Claude Code
A TDD-driven iterative feedback loop for software development with Claude Code. 16 cohesive skills + 2 custom subagents walk an idea from brainstorm through implementation, with checkpoints throughout where you stay in control. One entry point: say ”let’s evanflow this” and the orchestrator runs the loop. brainstorm → plan → execute (sequential or parallel) → […]
TurboQuant: A First-Principles Walkthrough
TurboQuant: A First-Principles Walkthrough Modern language models store large tables of high-dimensional vectors: KV caches, embeddings, attention keys. TurboQuant compresses each coordinate of these vectors to 2–4 bits with provably near-optimal distortion, no memory overhead for scale factors, and no training or calibration. This page explains how it works. The single load-bearing idea: in high […]
Show HN: The Unix Magic poster, annotated (updated)
[Live site] A pipeline that builds a website that maps and documents all the references found in the classic Usenix Unix Magic poster. The goal is to create a structured way to explore, annotate, and understand the various elements of the poster, making it a valuable reference for Unix enthusiasts. The UNIX Magic poster was […]
Show HN: AI memory with biological decay (52% recall)
Persistent memory for AI agents — built on the science of how humans remember. The Problem Every session, your AI assistant starts from zero. It asks the same questions, forgets your preferences, re-learns your stack. There is no memory between conversations. YourMemory fixes that. It gives AI agents a persistent memory layer that works the […]
