The fossil fuel comeback is herehttps://www.theverge.com/science/1013954/fossil-fuel-power-infrastructure-data-centers-report

The US is building more fossil fuel infrastructure than it has in a decade while renewable energy growth slows down, a new report shows. Electricity demand is also climbing faster than it has in more than a decade with more data centers, factories, and electric vehicles plugging into the grid. Despite those growing demands, the […]

Last Tuesady Chamath "SPAC King" Palihapitiya noticed the distressed debt, and also asked whether the AI buildout was a private credit bubble. […]

Show HN: Craig – A TUI for running parallel coding agentshttps://craig-cli.com

Hello HN! My name is Sam and this is Craig. Craig is a local-first TUI for managing AI coding agents. It’s agent-agnostic, creates isolated worktrees by default, and has a rich CLI for the agent to interact with to manipulate state and perform actions in the TUI. I started building Craig when I got a job offer at a shop that was using Cursor. I was previously using Claude Code with Conductor and really enjoyed this type of experience. However Conductor didn’t support Cursor at the time and I wasn’t a big fan of the Cursor 3 Agents interface. For personal projects I was using mostly Code…

Show HN: Create commitments that only begin once enough people have signed uphttps://groupcommit.org

Hi all! I made a small free site for creating conditional commitments - commitments that are only "binding" once a sufficient number of people (or the specified people) have signed up. For example: I'll go to the council meeting and ask for a crosswalk if 30 other people have signed up. There's prior work in this area with spartacus.app, but I think this has a potential niche as a low friction when2meet-style option. Would love to know if you have feedback!

Show HN: Flyingcar.pet – a physics simulation of Tesla's flying Roadster stunthttps://flyingcar.pet

Hi HN. I kept watching the Tesla Roadster's flying video and wondered how much force would be required to pull off a stunt like that since it seemed unreal to me, so I asked Claude Opus 5.5 to create a simulation for me. I gave Opus one task: look at the video and create a simulation like that using three.js, matching the video as closely as possible. I'd thought that Opus would one- or two-shotted this since in my mind it was just estimating height and distances and working backwards to compute the thrusts. Little did I know this would turn into a multi-day project. Opus's first hurdle was r…

Show HN: Realtime talking avatar running free locally (90+FPS on RTX4090)https://github.com/openspline/openspline

I wanted to give my humble voice AI a face. The only way to do that was to use Tavus or Lemonslice and pay a large amount of money per minute of usage. I wanted some cheaper option that I can run locally, attach to my existing voice agent and get a talking face, so I built this. Just select an image and you can create a realtime talking avatar with lipsynced video generated on your own GPU. While it is still in very early stage, but the results look very promising.

I've always been fascinated by secret messages, and for years I scribbled ideas for a graphical way of hiding messages that would be decipherable by humans without computers, while still being non-trivial and novel. This is what I came up with in 2020 (pre-LLM era ^^). The shapes are inspired by fingerprints. The name comes from "steganography", the art of hiding messages in plain sight.
