Show HN: I found a new planetary candidate in Kepler Data with AI

Hey HN! I was playing around with the Kepler and TESS data last weekend when I hacked around a way to pixel-peep stars dimming periodically to potentially find new exoplanets with Codex.I ended up running the engine to find an interesting signal in Kepler data that was uncatalogued with a dip repeating every 13.77 days around KIC 5689121, a red dwarf in Lyra about 970 light-years away. If it's a planet, it'd be roughly 2.5–3 times Earth's radius !Funnily enough, this candidate is

Tell HN: AIs Do Not Laugh

So far as I can tell, AIs do not laugh. Ever.I mean, you can hook one up to a speaker, and get it to emit the sound. Or you can ask it to write a joke, and it will. But they don't laugh. They don't find things funny.As people anthropomorphize AIs, this is going to be a difference. AIs are internally different than humans. They have no intrinsic sense of humor.I'm not sure how far to take this, but I thought it was an interesting observation.

Weave away your bugs with Trama (Meta Vibe Coding project)

Hello! I'm Nicchia, a Software Developer from Italy and I'm here to show you my current project: Trama.

Within Trama you can, at the moment: • See your vibe coded project as a state diagram • See the differences between what you wanted in the project and what is actually written in the code t

Show HN: AA (a.k.a. AutoApply) – open-source job-hunt tool and research project

Hi HN, I'm Nick. I'm a self-taught programmer with some B.S. in Applied Math, currently working construction but for the past few years have been building something that I think is extremely cool which is AA! My goal was to create a tool to hopefully help folks get jobs, and in the process perhaps gather and showcase job market data from a different perspective that I believe contains stories, ideas, and considerations worthy of sharing.As of right now, AA has never successfully submit

Show HN: Pointless but mostly-exact clone of Hacker News

Source code: http://github.com/shawwn/sharcI had more things I wanted to do with this, but I should probably admit to myself I probably won't be.The original idea was for https://news.ycombinator.lol to be "Hacker News, but all the comments are AI." Right now it's "Hacker News, but all the comments are the same as the real HN." Hence, it's completely pointless.Special thanks to dang for collaborating -- he even suggested the name f

Show HN: Privatrak – no-code, privacy-first product analytics

Hi HN!Quick story how it started: I was a freelance web developer in the past and also worked for several companies on web applications. For some projects we didn’t have analytics at all and we had to ask ourselves too many times what our users actually use in the product. Finding a good solution was painful, since we couldn’t use a consent banner (a lot of customers from the government) and existing tools were hard to set up so nobody took the time. I started with this idea already many years a

Show HN: Blobz: generate playful, deterministic SVG avatars from any string
