Looks pretty good, the speech pipeline feels noticeably faster than the general-purpose apps I've used for lang conversations. Dead air kills immersion after all

Show HN: Suzerain – How much autonomy do you give your AI coding assistants?
I built a simple CLI that analyzes your Claude Code session logs locally and shows you how much autonomy you give the AI vs. how much you intervene. I've noticed on myself that bas…

The skills that atrophy are the ones you weren't using anyway. If you let the LLM do the interesting/engaging parts, that's on you, not the tool

The "management as superpower" framing assumes people thoughtfully evaluate AI output. In practice, most users either review everything (slow, defeats the speed benefit) or review …

Very gorgeous and creative! Any plans to attempt other isometric cities? (Like SF, LA, Paris, London)

Yeah, the context window is a blunt instrument, everything competes for attention. I get better luck with shorter, more opinionated skills that front-load the key constraints vs. c…

You don't, it's a map of intent, not infra state. What exists, why, what talks to what. Live state still needs IaC and observability. The .md captures the 'why' that terraform can'…

One thing that’s evidently helped: using CLAUDE.md / agent instructions as de facto architecture docs. If the agent needs to understand system boundaries to work effectively, those…

Honest question: has anyone found skills that fundamentally changed their workflow vs. ones that are just ‘nice to have’? Curious what the actual power-user stack looks like. Anywa…

Always appreciate an English major in the wild. But I think taxonomy is only wasteful if it doesn't map to real distinctions, good naming saves debugging time like when untangling …

It's worth noting Threads requires an Instagram account to sign up. That's like a 2B+ user funnel with constant in-app cross-promotion. Not diminishing the growth, but "daily activ…

Ask HN: When has humanities/history knowledge helped you in tech?
Personally, I've been reading about how historical empires handled delegation and trust—who gets autonomy, who needs oversight, how that scales. Finding it weirdly applicable to ho…

Interesting architecture. Im curious about the workflow when an agent hits a denied action, does it get a structured rejection it can reason about and try an alternative, or does i…

Nice! I’ve done some pitch detection with librosa before. Curious about your FFT/HPS implementation. How did you handle the time-frequency tradeoff for the spectrogram windowing? O…

Ask HN: When has a "dumb" solution beaten a sophisticated one for you?
Recently built something where simple domain-specific heuristics crushed a fancy ML approach I assumed would win. This has me thinking about how often we reach for complex tools wh…

The pipeline and incentive structure probably isn't there yet. I've hung out with game designers who are either bullish on AI but haven't integrated it, or just aren't tapped in at…

For mobile phones: Chinese brands (Xiaomi, OnePlus, Oppo) are worth considering. Comparable specs to flagships at half the price, and you're trading one form of data exposure for a…

The feedback loop you describe—watching Claude's logs, then just asking it what functionality it wished it had—feels like an underexplored pattern. Did you find its suggestions con…

Show HN: Comparing Nietzsche Translations with Sentence Embeddings
I ran 5 English translations of Beyond Good and Evil through sentence embeddings to see if NLP could detect what I felt as a reader, that each translation reads like a different bo…
