I got tired of TODOs, temporary hacks, and refactors that never get addressed. In most repos I work on: - TODOs are scattered across files/apps/messages - “Critical” fixes don’t actually block people from collecting debt - PR comments or tickets aren’t enough actionable So I built codereport, a CLI that stores structured follow-ups in the repo itself (.codereports/). Each report tracks: - file + line range (src/foo.rs:42-88) - tag (todo, refactor, buggy, critical) - severity (you can configure i

Hey HN, We're open-sourcing (source-available, BSL 1.1, patent pending) the orchestrator behind our paper benchmark results. NSED (N-Way Self-Evaluating Deliberation) is a Rust binary that coordinates multiple LLMs through structured rounds of proposals and cross-evaluation, using quadratic voting to prevent any single model from dominating the consensus. The result: Three open-weight models (20B, 8B, 12B) on consumer GPUs — 64GB total VRAM, ~$7K hardware — score 84% on AIME 2025. The same model

The company is at odds with the Pentagon over how its A.I. will be used. The conflict has its roots in the foundational plan for Anthropic.

The PencilWash is designed to be lightweight and maneuverable. | Image: Dyson Dyson has announced an alternate version of its skinny PencilVac that's designed to clean spills and stains on hard floors instead of sucking up dirt and debris. Like the PencilVac, which Dyson called "world's slimmest vacuum cleaner" when it was announced nine months ago, the new PencilWash squeezes a battery, motor, and other electronics into its 1.5-inch-diameter handle. But it trades a dust bin for a water reserv

Forget surveillance and dashboards that track effort — this method flips the script, showing teams progress, building trust and letting performance scale without micromanagement.

A lot of clusters still run “allow-all” east/west because NetworkPolicies aren’t enforced everywhere. I built a small static analyzer that reads rendered manifests (Helm/Argo CD/Kustomize output) and emits baseline NetworkPolicy YAML you can commit + diff in PRs. Workflow: PR changes manifests CI regenerates policies reviewers see “newly allowed” connections as a normal permission diff Curious how others handle this: would you rather review generated policy diffs, or a connectivity-graph diff? A

The deal comes nearly five years after Etsy purchased Depop for $1.62 billion, at a time when secondhand clothing apps were gaining traction during the pandemic.

Hey HN, I'm building Coi, a component-based language that compiles to WASM, JS, CSS and HTML with O(1) reactivity (no virtual DOM). I just shipped a built-in package manager, but the interesting part wasn't the implementation, it was all the ecosystem design questions I'd never thought about as a user of package managers. The problem I kept circling: how do you handle naming? Global names like auth or json seem fine until someone squats them. First-come-first-served creates perverse incentives

Meta is planning to launch a smartwatch with health tracking and AI features later this year, along with an updated version of its Meta Ray-Ban Display smart glasses, The Information reports. The smartwatch would arrive ahead of a pair of mixed reality glasses, code-named Phoenix, that Meta has reportedly delayed until 2027 amidst efforts to streamline the company's AR and MR roadmap.

HiddenState monitors arxiv, Reddit, GitHub, HN, Bluesky, HuggingFace, OpenReview, PapersWithCode, and a handful of research blogs. Every few hours it pulls new items, throws most of them away (+95%), and clusters what survives by the specific technical constraint being attacked. Not by topic, not by domain.

The day-to-day discounts come and go like changing winds, so there’s often some amount to be saved, particularly on Apple’s most affordable iPad, the iPad Mini, and the latest iPad Air. Hell, you can even often find discounts on the latest M5 iPad Pro, which is already on
