Show HN: Codereport – track TODOs, refactors, and bugs in your repo with a CLI
I got tired of TODOs, temporary hacks, and refactors that never get addressed. In most repos I work on: - TODOs are scattered across files/apps/messages - “Critical” fixes don’t actually block people from collecting debt - PR comments or tickets aren’t enough actionable So I built codereport, a CLI that stores structured follow-ups in the repo itself (.codereports/). Each report tracks: - file + line range (src/foo.rs:42-88) - tag (todo, refactor, buggy, critical) - severity (you can configure i
Show HN: NSED is public – Mixture-of-Models to Hit SOTA using self-hosted AI
Hey HN, We're open-sourcing (source-available, BSL 1.1, patent pending) the orchestrator behind our paper benchmark results. NSED (N-Way Self-Evaluating Deliberation) is a Rust binary that coordinates multiple LLMs through structured rounds of proposals and cross-evaluation, using quadratic voting to prevent any single model from dominating the consensus. The result: Three open-weight models (20B, 8B, 12B) on consumer GPUs — 64GB total VRAM, ~$7K hardware — score 84% on AIME 2025. The same model

Show HN: Generate baseline Kubernetes NetworkPolicies from rendered manifests
A lot of clusters still run “allow-all” east/west because NetworkPolicies aren’t enforced everywhere. I built a small static analyzer that reads rendered manifests (Helm/Argo CD/Kustomize output) and emits baseline NetworkPolicy YAML you can commit + diff in PRs. Workflow: PR changes manifests CI regenerates policies reviewers see “newly allowed” connections as a normal permission diff Curious how others handle this: would you rather review generated policy diffs, or a connectivity-graph diff?

Show HN: Designing package namespacing for a new language (Coi)
Hey HN, I'm building Coi, a component-based language that compiles to WASM, JS, CSS and HTML with O(1) reactivity (no virtual DOM). I just shipped a built-in package manager, but the interesting part wasn't the implementation, it was all the ecosystem design questions I'd never thought about as a user of package managers. The problem I kept circling: how do you handle naming? Global names like auth or json seem fine until someone squats them. First-come-first-served creates perverse incentives

Show HN: HiddenState – How I keep up with 500+ ML papers a day
HiddenState monitors arxiv, Reddit, GitHub, HN, Bluesky, HuggingFace, OpenReview, PapersWithCode, and a handful of research blogs. Every few hours it pulls new items, throws most of them away (+95%), and clusters what survives by the specific technical constraint being attacked. Not by topic, not by domain. Example from this week; 7 independent VLA papers dropped within 24 hours from 9 different orgs. Xiaomi, GigaBrain, RISE, all attacking sim-to-real transfer for robotic manipulation. None coor

Google Cloud’s VP for startups on reading your ‘check engine light’ before it’s too late
Startup founders are being pushed to move faster than ever, using AI while facing tighter funding, rising infrastructure costs, and more pressure to show real traction early. Cloud credits, access to GPUs, and foundation models have made it easier to get started, but those early infrastructure choices can have unforeseen consequences once startups move beyond […]
