Show HN: Voronoi Go

I posted once before but wanted to share again because a lot has changed. There's now a fairly strong bot to play against (contributed by a community member) and also correspondence games. The combination of these things helps a bit in finding people to play against. Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49468816 Points: 100 # Comments: 13

Show HN: We built open OpenRouter that turns usage into a better model

Hi HN, we built an open source model gateway. It's a single place to manage our own self hosted, frontier, and open source models in one place. It’s is rust native, built for concurrency, and implements all the config quirks across models and providers (streaming formats, tool calls, model parameters, rate limits, and different error behavior). The gateway adds under 1 ms for BYOK requests and under 2 ms when Experiential supplies the provider key. It has every major inference provider, and 1000...

The biggest video game of all time looks like a movie

I think I know why Rockstar Games debuted its "extended look" of Grand Theft Auto VI on Netflix instead of immediately dropping it for free on YouTube. Unlike most video game trailers, the almost 27-minute preview of GTA VI felt more like a slice of a prestige crime drama than any video game trailer that […]

Four Java Bugs That Bad Indentation Hides in Plain Sight

javac does not care what your code looks like. Whitespace carries zero meaning in the Java Language Specification, so the compiler reads your file as a stream of tokens and skips every space you typed. Fine for the machine. A problem for you, because indentation is the part of the code that talks to humans. When the layout says one thing and the braces say another, the reader trusts the layout, and the bug ships. Here are four bugs I have either shipped, reviewed, or nearly missed. Every snip...

This week: payments in the framework, nine brands migrated in an hour, and the start of a video pipeline

This was a consolidation week. I run a bunch of small products under ITW Creative Works , and for years each one carried its own slightly different website, backend, and config. This week most of that duplication died. OMEGA, the framework under everything Most of the week went into OMEGA , the framework I'm building to run every brand: ten minor releases in seven days (0.29 → 0.43).

Context Windows: The Model's Working Memory

A context window is the maximum number of tokens a language model can process in one go. It includes the system prompt, conversation history, and the model's own output. Inside the model, self-attention and a key-value cache enforce this limit, acting as the model's working memory. When the window fills up, older information falls out, and the model can no longer use it. But here is the twist: the model's performance drops even when the window is not full. If you bury a crucial detail in the ...

Engineering Geofencing: The Battery-Accuracy Tradeoff in Android

It was the second rakat of Maghrib prayer, the quietest moment of my evening, when a jarring, high-pitched ringtone shattered the silence of the room. It wasn't my phone, but the sound was loud enough to break the focus of everyone standing in the row. I felt that familiar, sinking pit in my stomach. We have all been there: a meeting at work, a medical checkup, or a silent lecture where our digital lives suddenly demand attention at the worst possible time. I realized then that I had forgotten t...

Building an honest scanner for the agentic web

Why I started Every few weeks somebody sends me an "AI readiness score" for a website. It is always red. It never explains what the missing items would actually do for that site, and it never distinguishes between two completely different situations: You have not published an emerging protocol. You have published one, and it does not work. The first is usually an observation. The protocol may not apply to your site, its adoption may be negligible, real agents may not touch it, an...
