Latent Signal - Curated feed for AI news
I kept losing track of what was happening in AI. It's scattered across Reddit, Discord, Twitter, arXiv, GitHub, Hugging Face. Things slip through constantly. So I built Latent Signal to consolidate it for myself. It's a curated feed for AI news. Right now it's just me, but the goal is for the community to help surface what matters. Covers LLMs, image gen, video, audio, 3D, world models, tooling, and more. The design is entirely inspired by Hacker News. Currently pulling from these sources: - Reddit - arXiv - Hugging Face - GitHub - Hacker News - Lobste.rs You can browse immediately without…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
I kept losing track of what was happening in AI. It's scattered across Reddit, Discord, Twitter, arXiv, GitHub, Hugging Face. Things slip through constantly. So I built Latent Signal to consolidate it for myself. It's a curated feed for AI news. Right now it's just me, but the goal is for the community to help surface what matters. Covers LLMs, image gen, video, audio, 3D, world models, tooling, and more. The design is entirely inspired by Hacker News. Currently pulling from these sources: - Reddit - arXiv - Hugging Face - GitHub - Hacker News - Lobste.rs You can browse immediately without signing up. Accounts are only needed if you want to vote or submit. This is the first time I'm sharing it publicly. Would appreciate feedback on what's missing, what's broken, or if something like this already exists and I missed it. https://latentsignal.fyi/

Hey HN, Out of frustration of keeping up with AI news, I built hackobar. It fetches the AI related news from multiple sources such as HN, arxiv, github trending repos, huggingface, many ai subreddits, twitter handles that cover AI, Tech news outlets, major ai lab blogs and of course the numerous AI news letters that are growing by day. GitHub trending repos isn't "news" but as an engineer it matters. you can't read every arXiv paper or every HuggingFace drop. HN has the best discussions, Twitter has some, newsletters have some. I used to check 5 places and still felt behind. Building this…
- IBI build a dedicated news site for AI developers (think HN for AI/ML)2023 · news.aiapipro.com · ▲8
Think of HackerNews, but only for AI content. Did build this out of the wish for easier discoverability of new technologies in the AI/ML space. Obviously, so far only a tiny small community, but maybe a few of you find it nice to be around and want to post a link there every now and then :)
- NRNews Radar, an experiment on generating news with AI2023 · github.com · ▲7
Hey folks! This is a project that I've been working in my free time for the past few months. It's a news aggregator that uses AI to select relevant articles and summarize them. The default sources are frameworks and libraries' updates, popular HN topics, and languages' subreddits threads that make past a certain threshold. You can run a local instance (needs an OpenAI key) and customize it with your own sources, and adjust the prompt as well. The resulting website can be browsed at https://dev-radar.com/ My next experiment will be with local news. I'm building some feeds with…
- NPNews Pulse – Real-time global news feed, 475 sources, no algorithmFeb 2026 · news-alert-eta.vercel.app · ▲9
Former investigative reporter turned developer. I built a simple breaking-news monitor because tracking events across platforms is a mess now that Twitter’s unreliable. Bluesky is the backbone (a fraction of twitter, but still lots of journalists and OSINT folks), plus RSS, Telegram, Reddit, YouTube and Mastodon. Everything is one chronological feed with no algorithm, clear source labels, and lightweight activity detection when a region spikes above baseline (frequency math, not LLMs). But we do have a (hopefully non-obtrusive) AI-generated recent/post summary. Been building for a…
- IBI built a tool that helps predict HN front page successMay 2026 · wannalaunch.com · ▲26
Hey HN community, I built a tool that helps optimize your post for hitting the first page of Show HN. How it works: I used a Hugging Face dataset of all Hacker News posts from the past 3 years and trained a model that predicts how successful your post might be. There's still a lot of randomness on HN, so nothing is guaranteed, but the tool helps optimize your post for higher odds. A couple of interesting findings: - GitHub repo links work x3 better than regular domains - Open-source tools have a steady virality rate (13.9% - one of the highest) - "I built" outperforms "We built" - Using…

I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…

Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
