Hi HN,I’ve been working on a long-running personal DSP experiment that started from a simple observation: most real-world listening happens on constrained systems — phone speakers, budget earbuds, car audio, Bluetooth, and heavily compressed streams. In that environment, “accurate” or “flat” processing often doesn’t survive contact with reality.Instead of optimizing for frequency response, I tried optimizing for perceptual survival under constraints. The system is built around a few principles:•
I've been running multiple AI agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex) on the same codebase and kept hitting the same problem: they have no idea what each other are doing. Agent A refactors the auth module while Agent B is building a feature that depends on it. Agent C re-investigates a decision that Agent A already made and documented in a different session, but doesn't have access to Agent A's decision making process. Many times I'll have multiple agents running and coming up wi
Hey HN,I've been building Aether, a background agent that takes production errors from Sentry and attempts to turn them into verified pull requests.When a new error hits your Sentry project:1. Sentry webhook fires with the stack trace, breadcrumbs, and context 2. Aether spins up an isolated Fly.io VM and clones the repo at the relevant commit 3. Agent analyzes the stack trace, reproduces the issue, proposes a fix 4. Starts the dev server, re-runs tests, and can verify the running app with P

What do you do before ordering hundreds of thousands of men into an invasion of Europe? What kind of pressure does that put on a leader? That’s the big question behind “Pressure,” a new film charting Gen. Dwight Eisenhower’s stressful hours leading up to the launch of D-Day. It’s also about the weather.“Pressure,” adapted from writer David Haig’s 2014 play of the same name, arrives this spring and just released its trailer. The new film stars Brendan Fraser (“The Wh

Hi HN! I'm building poncho, a framework for building custom AI agents that are version-controlled in git, developed locally, and deployed as isolated endpoints (serverless-friendly by default).Poncho agents follow the same conventions as openclaw or claude code so they probably feel familiar.You can talk to them via terminal or web ui to build new skills or configure the agent, and they're compatible with the Agent Skills open spec, so you can port your skills. Small caveat: right now
Hi, Nathan here, I’m an MLE at Mozilla.ai, and also a guitar player. I have a small front porch at my house and I love to sit out there in the summer and play songs on my guitar. There are some songs that have amazing melodies, but their lyrics aren’t as relevant for me to sing. For example, I’m a new parent and there’s an awesome Luke Combs album about his relationship with his son, but the songs use imagery all about country themes like trucks and hunting, which aren’t relevant to me as a soft
Hi HN!I've been building this solo for about three and a half years. I kept trying every new project/notes tool (Notion, Asana, Trello, etc.) and always ended up back in a plain text file. I wanted something that felt like a text editor on first touch but could grow into real structure when you needed it.https://lightwave.so (desktop only)The tech stack is Laravel, MySQL, Redis, and hand-rolled JavaScript on the client. No frameworks like React/Vue/etc. ~270 lines o
I built a self-hosted dashboard for keeping tabs on AI agents (Claude Code, OpenCode, Codex, etc.) while they work. It's a Next.js app backed by SQLite that runs on a headless Mac Mini and is accessed over Tailscale.Agents POST status updates to a REST API. You get a drag-and-drop Kanban board with 6 status columns, parent/child task hierarchy (3 levels deep), comments, sprint management, velocity tracking with burndown charts, and 7 analytics chart types. Messages are encrypted at res
The Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps is asking his fellow Marines for help. He wants them to ask for help.Sgt. Maj. of the Marine Corps Carlos Ruiz took to Instagram on Friday to talk about suicide in the Marine Corps. In a video, Ruiz told troops that, even if they don’t realize it, there might be Marines in their formations that are struggling with feelings of loneliness and pain, feelings that can lead to them taking their own lives. “There may be Marines today who feel that no one cou
