Show HN: Daily image location guessing agains AI

Every day, I let all frontier AI models play five rounds of an image location guess game. Try it out how you perform against the AI. I recently released my browser image location game, a hobby project where you’re get random images from sources like Wikimedia Commons and have to guess the image’s location. There are an incredible number of images with rich metadata on Wikimedia Commons, most of them depict trivial but interesting places or events. My goal was to make this online catalog playable...

Show HN: Ito – Build Terminal UIs in Lua

My friend and I are huge Neovim nerds. We like to rice our terminals and our editors. We just wanted a harness that we can do the same with, rice it till our hearts' desire. So, we started looking out for harnesses. Pi was great, Pi was good. But in the end, it was JavaScript. I don't have anything against JavaScript, but Lua is more fitting, and I can just as easily base it in Rust to make it even faster. So, we started cooking, and we ended up with a design that's minimal at its core and is bu...

Show HN: Flipflop, iroh-powered persistent tunnels for filesharing

This is a project that spun from my frustrations of using LocalSend and DashBeam to transfer stuff between devices, and with the extra goal of being fast, trying out the Slint framework and, most importantly, establishing a communication channel with trusted external people that can be left always on.

Building a Semantic Model for Recycling Contamination Triage

How I Put Commodity Measures Under a Local Multi-Agent Shift Desk TL;DR LD-106 looked acceptable if you only read the numbers. HDPE natural, 7,340 pounds, residue at 3.1 percent, moisture just over 1 percent. The spot-check note ruined that story: a battery pack sitting in the third gaylord. I built ResidueDesk-AI, a personal experiment, so a laptop at a fictional scale house would quarantine that load instead of waving it onto a tip floor because the residue percent was low. ...

I built a Windows tool to inspect Python dependencies without running the project

Ever inherited a Python project and wondered which third-party packages it actually uses? That's the problem behind ImportSmith 1.0 , a Windows desktop utility from RooTech. ImportSmith performs static inspection of Python source code. It identifies imports, helps map them to likely distributions, compares observed imports with declared dependencies, and exports reports for review. Crucially, it doesn't execute the project being inspected . Static analysis has limits: dynamic imports,...

LiteLLM Router — Stop Hardcoding One Provider Into Your App

Your support bot is fine until OpenAI returns 429s for twenty minutes. If the app called openai.OpenAI() with a single model string, those twenty minutes are an outage. Not because the product broke — because you married one vendor in the client code. LiteLLM gives you one OpenAI-compatible interface over 100+ providers, plus a Router that retries inside a model group and falls back to another group when the primary keeps failing. Your feature code keeps talking "chat completions." R...
