Sensus – Constructive PR Comments
Being rude and dismissive in code reviews is as destructive as shouting at your kid — you both will suffer. We all have good intentions, but even the best have bad days. We all can be grumpy, impatient, or insecure. “Am I helping to resolve this PR?” is a valuable question to ask yourself before posting a comment. My friend and I came up with Sensus - a tiny AI helper that asks this question and provides an answer as a score between 1 and 5. It incorporates constructiveness, politeness, and agreeableness into the calculations. Sensus is free. It is available as a Chrome extension that works…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
Being rude and dismissive in code reviews is as destructive as shouting at your kid — you both will suffer. We all have good intentions, but even the best have bad days. We all can be grumpy, impatient, or insecure. “Am I helping to resolve this PR?” is a valuable question to ask yourself before posting a comment. My friend and I came up with Sensus - a tiny AI helper that asks this question and provides an answer as a score between 1 and 5. It incorporates constructiveness, politeness, and agreeableness into the calculations. Sensus is free. It is available as a Chrome extension that works in GitHub comments. At this stage, we are figuring out how many people may find this extension worth using. If we see enough interest in this project, we will add it to other platforms. Feel free to leave us any feedback in the comments.

Hey again HN. Isaac and I originally released a voice-first code review tool, but have since open-sourced it and turned it into just a better way to review your and your team's Github PRs. Main things we've heard that make code reviews slower are: 1) PRs are too big and overwhelming 2) Need to jump around to find the right context and relevant code 3) Need to spend time thinking (should not be a thing since AI exists), and writing comments What we built to address these: 1) PRs are split up into sub-PRs without needing to actually split them up and stack them yourself -> Automatically done…
- ACAI Code Review CLIMar 2026 · github.com · ▲5
This week we released the Kodus CLI. It took a bit longer than we expected to ship. The reason was simple: there are already many ways to run reviews locally today. IDEs, extensions, terminal commands, agents inside the editor. So building “just another AI CLI” didn’t seem like a good idea. The question that guided the project was different: how can we bring the quality of PR reviews to the moment when the code is still being written? Today the CLI does two main things. The first is running local reviews using the same context we use in PRs. The goal was to avoid that shallow review that…

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…
