Show HN: People you know, an end-to-end encrypted private Instagram replacement
I built an alternative to popular social networks because I was sick of the unending enshittification of instagram. Every UX change in recent years intended to make their app more addictive to teenagers has made me want to use it less, but I don't want to lose contact with the actual people that are close to me. First it was stories to make it your job to open the app every day, and then "everything is a reel" to try to get you to scroll infinitely.This app is a more minimalist wa
Show HN: I built Knemora – An Open-source AI Second brain
Hi HN, my name is Federico. I’m an Italian graphic designer and full stack developer.In recent months, there has been a lot of talk about the "second brain" articles and YouTube videos; everyone is still discussing it, but I see a significant difference between that and what the concept of a second brain means to me.For me, the concept of a "second brain" is about building a 100% private knowledge base which means not uploading my own files (containing sensitive data) to be p

Show HN: Artificer by Nua: Frontier robotics task evaluation in 4B parameters
We’re happy to introduce Artificer, our first robotics decision model for evaluating robot task progress and success.
The problem
Robot systems need feedback during training, evaluation, and deployment. An arm might grasp the right object, but place it in the wrong bin. A robot might’ve only completed part of its task before it stopped. Assessing these outcomes from video often requires manual review or brittle, handcrafted objectives. Though frontier models do well in evaluation, they are expen

Show HN: I built a cash-flow simulator to explore when work becomes optional
I built this after finding that many retirement calculators start with a withdrawal percentage or target portfolio number, rather than the monthly costs people already understand.The tool starts with savings, monthly take-home income and living expenses. It projects monthly cash flow, accounts for inflation assumptions, and lets you explore what happens if employment income stops or spending changes.There's no signup or bank connection. You can also inspect the assumptions and try the caree

Ask HN: I Need Advice
Hello HN.I was laid off six months ago from my longest tenured job. Since then, I have been rotting. And I mean really rotting. I have been staying up late, sleeping in, skipping chores, neglecting my relationships, eating too much food, neglecting hygiene, and generally just being a bum. I have a nest egg that I had saved up for this exact situation, but it appears that it has just made me even lazier. I have not been applying to many jobs, maybe one per week. My main reason has been that I am
