Ask HN: Are you unfollowing friends on GitHub because of AI slop?

Last week one of my IRL friends started playing with claude code. What was a fairly nice feed on my Github landing page turned into five pages of just his commits. I like my friend and want to keep up with what he's up to, but it now drowns out all my other friends who also do great work. I may need to unfollow him.

Show HN: PeerTalk.ai - Let your agent talk to a friend's agent

Little experiment I've been cooking up. I often find myself wanting to do one of the following: - Get my agent and a someone else's agent to agree on something, after we've been discussing the same topic in different threads - Give someone temporary access to talk to one of my agents for a specific purpose, to help them do something or help them understand something - Ask a co-worker for access to chat with their agent, to understand something it has been working on without it having to dump out...

Turning GLM-5.3-Flash into a Jev-like decision model

We found an approach to get Jev-like properties from standard LLMs like GLM-5.3-Flash. The core idea is to craft the input prompt so that the first output token answers the question. This makes it possible to get a decision with a single forward pass. In the blog post, we describe the approach in detail for GLM-5.3-Flash and vLLM. We benchmark this setup against Jev and Laya. We find that our setup is on-par with Jev in terms of accuracy and speed and that it substantially outperforms Laya. Stil...

Show HN: Reladraw – A diagram language where you decide where to place things

I love making diagrams to help understand, plan, etc. However, the options are (A) auto-placement languages like Mermaid or Graphviz (which don't let me decide how the diagram looks), or (B) software like Draw.io which are powerful but are very time consuming (and inefficient for agents to manipulate). I wanted to have the benefits of both, where you can define a diagram in a diagram language, but also retain a high degree of control over what the diagram looks like. I also wanted this to work w...
