New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: Ax-check.com – Can agents use your product?

Show HN: Ax-check.com – Can agents use your product? 5 by 0x63_Problems | 0 comments on Hacker News. I'm the co-founder of Gauge, and I built ax-check.com to quickly test how well coding agents can onboard to your product. You'll get a scorecard, specific suggested fixes, and three full coding sessions that show how agents read your site and use your product. I built this because similar checks were too noisy. Most suggested obscure technical changes that don't actually make a difference in agent experience (or AX, hence ax-check.com). This check starts by using DeepSeek 4.1 Flash to try to find key information about your product, starting from the homepage. In actual agent traffic data, we've seen that the key pages are the homepage, llms.txt, pricing, and the docs site (by traffic volume, and by influence), so we focus on those and ignore the rest. We also find that content negotiation for Markdown is legitimately helpful for agents to complete tasks faster and fin...

New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: Craigslist for agent skills, curated by a human

Show HN: Craigslist for agent skills, curated by a human 4 by skeptrune | 0 comments on Hacker News. hey, i'm nick (@skeptrune on X). i have been using ai for a lot of things i'm not an expert in and thought it would be nice to try and buy paid skills for helping it accomplish those tasks more efficiently. for example, redlining contracts, creating ai generated videos, different website designs, and more. curious to see if this resonates with folks here. i figure a more engineering'y audience that's ai coding-agent forward would have similar problems to what inspired me to make this

New top story on Hacker News: Ask HN: UK Rescue Rocket Sheds/Houses Information

Ask HN: UK Rescue Rocket Sheds/Houses Information 13 by burnt-resistor | 6 comments on Hacker News. I can't seem to find pictures or significant details (nothing on Wikipedia) about the coastal buildings purportedly used to contain shipwreck rescue rocket apparatus. Many of the buildings still exist and are Grade II listed. Anyone have any additional anecdotal/local/oral tradition information that isn't found in the little blurbs online on the few websites mentioning them?

New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: Open-Source eInk Bike Computer

Show HN: Open-Source eInk Bike Computer 73 by stingrae | 15 comments on Hacker News. Hey all, i just launched my Eink Bike computer project and think it is cool. Another tidbit, in the crazy things that AI has done... It has helped create a ANT (common sensor wireless protocol used in workout/biking) implementation for ESP32 by messing around with undocumented registers: https://ift.tt/2NFbCTB

New top story on Hacker News: Porting my 1993 Amiga game to Godot, with an LLM reading the 68000 assembly

Porting my 1993 Amiga game to Godot, with an LLM reading the 68000 assembly 38 by rabahs | 8 comments on Hacker News. These are my notes from porting my Amiga game, which I originally built in Baghdad in 1993 in MC68000 assembly, to Godot, using Claude Fable 5 during last July holiday. It took an evening! Getting the feel right and shipping it took a few more weekends and evenings. I spent the last few weeks analyzing what Claude did, feeding it my 33 years of memory of how I built the game, my notes and the git repos. It wrote the first draft of the article, and I edited line by line over a week. The screenshots of my 1993 map editor is the first I have run it since then. The one thing I never checked myself is the 108-byte explanation. Please post any questions. I am also releasing the original game for free.

New top story on Hacker News: Launch HN: Nori Robotics (YC S26) – A low-cost humanoid robot for development

Launch HN: Nori Robotics (YC S26) – A low-cost humanoid robot for development 35 by AntonioLi | 5 comments on Hacker News. Hey HN, I’m Antonio from Nori Robotics ( https://ift.tt/HstQxn9 ). We build a $1,688 bimanual mobile robot in San Francisco for robotics developers and researchers. I started working on Nori while doing robotics research at Columbia. I was teaching robots through human demonstrations, but getting my hands on affordable hardware was difficult. Most labs have one or two expensive robots, which makes it hard to collect large datasets, run long experiments, or test across several robots. So I built my own. After seven iterations the latest Nori has: * 19 degrees of freedom * Two 7+1 DOF arms with a 1.5 kg payload per arm * A 55 kg telescoping lift * A differential wheeled base * Four 720p, 30 fps RGB cameras * 2D lidar * A dual microphone array with full-duplex voice communication * A 432 Wh battery * A Raspberry Pi 5 with 4 GB RAM (SLAM and safeties are run on boar...
