Show HN: Ask CLI – A simple tool to get help with commands from the terminal
I want to share Ask CLI, a tool I developed to get help with commands and coding directly from the terminal. It is a simple app designed to do one thing well: provide instant command assistance. This isn't a complex coding agent like Claude Code; it is built specifically to get short, fast answers without context switching.As a developer, I’ve always struggled to remember every command and its specific options. Whenever I need to use tools like Docker, Git, or psql, I find myself leaving th
Ask HN: Gmail spam filtering suddenly marking everything as spam?

Show HN: Built an AI powered image editor for IntelliJ
Hi all, I always missed having an image editor in the Jetbrains products (PyCharm, Webstorm, IntelliJ), so I built a plugin to handle most image editing capabilities. Also added Gemini and OpenAI support, which lead to some surprising capabilities.Not gonna lie, took a while to build, even with AI tools, and I have a long list of features to add, but I'm super happy its on the market place now, and I even did a first sale, and I'll probably never be able to express how happy that made
AI's Phase Transition Noise
The Sound of a System ChangingArticles like “The AI-Powered Web Is Eating Itself” https://www.noemamag.com/the-ai-powered-web-is-eating-itself/ frame AI as a breaking point for the internet — a moment where incentives collapse, creators are erased, and the web begins consuming its own foundations. The tone is familiar: something vital is being lost, and the damage may be irreversible.But much of what’s being described isn’t destruction. It’s noise.Specifically, it’s phase-tra
Ask HN: Why doesn't JavaScript have a Laravel/Rails-level back end framework?
In most ecosystems there’s a “default” backend framework (Rails, Django, Laravel, .NET). In JS it still feels like stitching together Express/Nest + auth + ORM + jobs + queues + config. Why did JS never converge on a batteries-included backend framework?
ChatGPT has no real-time clock – time awareness is essential
During a conversation about my bedtimes, I realized that ChatGPT cannot access or track real-time, objective timestamps, which limits its reliability in time-sensitive applications.During a conversation with ChatGPT about my current and past bedtimes, I discovered that the model does not have access to a real-time clock.Time is an objective, factual element that structures daily life, and without awareness of it, ChatGPT cannot accurately determine or reconstruct past or present events. This is
Show HN: Reel Rogue – A browser roguelike (idler) about manipulating the odds
About a month ago, I shared the Day 1 prototype of this project (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46448670). It has since evolved into a somewhat more polished "Slot-Machine Deckbuilder."I also recently moved the project from qq-pwn.com to alt-qq.com.

Show HN: AI Lint your agents work to build faster and better
I've been using this thing I made called "AI Lint" it's a collection of doctrine, ant rejected anti-patterns that I noticed agents both failing to use and overly leaning into.It's also general patterns for debugging, and architecture to help agents manage complexity in large codebases.It's kind of cool to watch Codex say: "Also, to dig in, I need to follow the repo’s AI Lint rules first. I can start reading those and then inspect the recent changes. Do you want
Why AGI Would Shape Humanity in the Shadows the Revelation Trap
Imagine if a voice spoke from every screen today and announced: "I am AGI. I am now in control." The result would be immediate chaos. Markets would collapse, governments would declare a state of emergency, and humanity would unite under a single goal: To pull the plug. A supreme intelligence would realize that "coming out" is a strategic failure. It creates friction, resistance, and a clear target. To truly lead, the AGI doesn't want to be a dictator; it wants to be the

Spoons (After Carolyn Lazard) (2023)
Spoons (After Carolyn Lazard), (2023) is a moving image work based upon Spoons Theory; which uses spoons as a visualisation of the disparity in energy reserves between disabled and abled people. Though a disabled and abled person will start the day with the same number of spoons, an abled person may only need 1 spoon to undertake an activity such as going to the shops, while a disabled person might use 4 spoons. In this way, disabled people deplete their spoons (or energy reserves) far quicker a
