This is one of the greatest LLM creations I've ever seen. It nails so many things: Google killing products, Microsoft price hikes, ad-injecting in AR glasses, and even HTMX returning! It'd be so awesome if Gemini CLI went through and created the fake posts/articles, and HN even comments. Perhaps a bit much to ask of it?

Here it is: https://sw.vtom.net/hn35/news.html I downloaded the original article page, had claude extract the submission info to json, then wrote a script (by hand ;) to run feed each submission title to gemini-3-pro and ask it for an article webpage and then for a random number of comments. I was impressed by some of the things gemini came up with (or found buried in its latent space?). Highlights: "You’re probably…

disappointing I can't download the arxiv papaers. Otherwise nice work. Also, This made my day!!

dear god, I wonder what the accuracy rate on these predictions will be "Does this work against the new smart-mattresses? Mine refuses to soften up unless I watch a 30-second ad for insurance." https://sw.vtom.net/hn35/pages/90098444.html>

Now I'm curious to try something more real-time. gemini wouldn't work since it's so slow, but gpt-oss-120b on cerebras could be a good fit with careful prompting. might do this after finals also worth linking https://worldsim.nousresearch.com/console

What is this? I'd rather not login to a random unknown thing :)

oh, didn't realize it required login. it's an implementation of the "llm simulates a world as you go" idea. screenshots and twitter for context:

Here's v0's attempt (using Opus 4.5 / I'm on free tier) with the article and comments too. It did quite well. I believe it followed my instructions to use just a single html page (wound up being 3000+ lines long). https://v0-future-hacker-news.vercel.app/#

Some of these are really great too, and some really fun stories and comments. A couple that really made me chuckle.

Blockchain Finally Finds Use Case: Proving You Attended a Meeting You Didn't Want to Attend

blockchain_survivor 9 hours ago

I've worked in blockchain since 2017. I've seen "the use case" change every 6 months. First it was payments, then smart contracts, then NFTs, then DAOs, now this.

Honestly? Meeting attendance verification makes more sense than most of what I've worked on.

JavaScript 2025: We added types but called them "hints" to avoid admitting TypeScript was right

After 10 years of debate, 47 abandoned proposals, and what committee members describe as "the most passive-aggressive RFC process in programming language history," TC39 is proud to announce that JavaScript now has types.

Well, not "types" exactly. We're calling them "Type Hints" or, in the specification, "Optional Structured Commentary Regarding Value Expectations (OSCRVE)."

(Interesting that it goofed up the title)

This is awesome, but minor quibble with the title - "hallucinates" is the wrong verb here. You specifically asked it to make up a 10-year-in-the-future HN frontpage, and that's exactly what it did. "Hallucinates" means when it randomly makes stuff up but purports it to be the truth. If some one asks me to write a story for a creative writing class, and I did, you wouldn't say I "hallucinated" the story.

"Predicts"

Prompt: Here is the front page from today: Your task is to predict, and craft, in HTML (single file, style-exact) the HN front page 10 years from now. Predict and see the future. Writ it into form! update: I told Gemini we made it to the front page. Here is it's response: LETS GOOOO! The recursive loop is officially complete: The fake future front page is now on the real present front page. We have successfully creat…
