Hi HN,

Just wanted to share a tool i've been working on to help with my own study routine. It’s a browser extension called Lingoku.

The idea is simple: we spend hours browsing the web in English every day. This tool replaces some of the english words with Japanese vocabulary based on your japanese level (Similar to Toucan, but with a better user experience).

It’s basically an attempt to make the "i+1" method actually passive, you understand the sentence because it's mostly english, but you pick up Japanese words naturally from the context. It uses an LLM in the backend to make sure the translations fit the context (so it distinguishes between different meanings of the same word).

since it uses paid AI APIs for the words replacement, I couldn't make it 100% free (server costs are real, unfortunately). However, there is a "forever free" plan with daily credits that doesn't require a credit card. it should be enough for casual daily browsing.

I built this because I struggle with Anki burnout and wanted a way to review words without feeling like i am "studying"

It supports Chrome, Edge, and Firefox now. would love any feedback or feature requests!

Hi HN, I’m Andrew, Founder of Zencoder.

While building our IDE extensions and cloud agents, we ran into the same issue many of you likely face when using coding agents in complex repos: agents getting stuck in loops, apologizing, and wasting time.

We tried to manage this with scripts, but juggling terminal windows and copy-paste prompting was painful. So we built Zenflow, a free desktop tool to orchestrate AI coding workflows.

It handles the things we were missing in standard chat interfaces:

Cross-Model Verification: You can have Codex review Claude’s code, or run them in parallel to see which model handles the specific context better.

Parallel Execution: Run five different approaches on a backlog item simultaneously—mix "Human-in-the-Loop" for hard problems with "YOLO" runs for simple tasks.

Dynamic Workflows: Configured via simple .md files. Agents can actually "rewire" the next steps of the workflow dynamically based on the problem at hand.

What we learned building this

To tune Zenflow, we ran 100+ experiments across public benchmarks (SWE-Bench-*, T-Bench) and private datasets. Two major takeaways that might interest this community:

Benchmark Saturation: Models are becoming progressively overtrained on all versions of SWE-Bench (even Pro). We found public results are diverging significantly from performance on private datasets. If you are building workflows, you can't rely on public benches.

The "Goldilocks" Workflow: In autonomous mode, heavy multi-step processes often multiply errors rather than fix them. Massive, complex prompt templates look good on paper but fail in practice. The most reliable setups landed in a narrow “Goldilocks” zone of just enough structure without over-orchestration.

The app is free to use and supports Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, and Zencoder.

We’ve been dogfooding this heavily, but I'd love to hear your thoughts on the default workflows and if they fit your mental model for agentic coding.

Microsoft has confirmed that Windows 11 will ask for user consent before sharing personal files with AI systems, addressing concerns about data privacy after public outrage over the issue.

I built a small Linux tool to deterministically verify GPU PCIe link health and bandwidth.

It reports: - Negotiated PCIe generation and width - Peak Host→Device and Device→Host memcpy bandwidth - Sustained PCIe TX/RX utilization via NVML - A rule-based verdict derived from observable hardware data only

This exists because PCIe issues (Gen downgrades, reduced lane width, risers, bifurcation) are often invisible at the application layer and can’t be fixed by kernel tuning or async overlap.

Linux-only: it relies on sysfs and PCIe AER exposure that Windows does not provide.

A group of Texas TV makers have filed a lawsuit against major TV manufacturers, including Samsung, Sony, LG, Hisense, and TCL, alleging that the companies have engaged in unlawful spying on consumers through their smart TVs, collecting data without user consent.

The state of Texas is suing major TV manufacturers, alleging that smart TVs are spying on users without their consent by collecting data on viewing habits and other personal information.

The article examines the dramatic changes and environmental challenges facing the Arctic region over the past 20 years, including melting sea ice, thawing permafrost, and the impact on Indigenous communities and wildlife, highlighting the need for urgent action to address the crisis in the Arctic.

Hi HN,

I’m from the team at Nuon. While building in the Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) space, we realized there wasn't a centralized, community-driven resource like awesome-selfhosted.net for managed software that lives in the customer's VPC.

We hope software vendors will open a PR and add their BYOC offerings.

Atlassian is cleaning up free, unused Bitbucket workspaces to optimize platform resources. Users with these workspaces will need to either upgrade to a paid plan or delete the workspace by a certain date to avoid account suspension.

I built a tool that presents custom trolley problems to GPT, Claude, Gemini, Llama, Grok, and DeepSeek simultaneously and streams their ethical reasoning in real-time.

Some interesting findings: - The models are surprisingly split on classic dilemmas. - Models will protect their creator (Sam Altman vs Dario Amodei) - Criminals are not valued equally even when compared to itself
