Show HN: What was the world listening to? Music charts, 20 countries (1940–2025)

Show HN: What was the world listening to? Music charts, 20 countries (1940–2025)

I built this because I wanted to know what people in Japan were listening to the year I was born. That question spiraled: how does a hit in Rome compare to what was charting in Lagos the same year? How did sonic flavors propagate as streaming made musical influence travel faster than ever? 88mph is a playable map of music history: 230 charts across 20 countries, spanning 8 decades (1940–2025). Every song is playable via YouTube or Spotify. It's open source and I'd love help expanding it — there's a link to contribute charts for new countries and years. The goal is to crowdsource a complete sonic atlas of the world.

Show HN: Algorithms and Data Structures in TypeScript – Free Book (~400 Pages)

I started writing this book 10 years ago in JavaScript, got through a few chapters (asymptotic notation, basic techniques, start of sorting), and then abandoned it.

Recently I picked it back up, converted everything to TypeScript, and used AI (Zenflow [1] + Claude Opus 4.6) to complete the remaining chapters. I provided the structure, direction, and initial chapters; the AI generated the bulk of the remaining content under a spec-driven workflow.

The book covers roughly a first 1-2 year CS curriculum: sorting, dynamic programming, graph algorithms, trees, heaps, hash tables, and more. All code is executable, typed with generics/interfaces, and covered with tests.

I've thoroughly reviewed several chapters (sorting, DP, graphs) and done a high-level pass on the rest. Currently in beta — corrections and contributions are welcome.

MIT licensed. Inspired by Wirth's "Algorithms and Data Structures", SICP, and CLRS.

Document poisoning in RAG systems: How attackers corrupt AI's sources

Document poisoning in RAG systems: How attackers corrupt AI's sources

I'm the author. Repo is here: https://github.com/aminrj-labs/mcp-attack-labs/tree/main/lab...

The lab runs entirely on LM Studio + Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct (Q4_K_M) + ChromaDB — no cloud APIs, no GPU required, no API keys.

From zero to seeing the poisoning succeed: git clone, make setup, make attack1. About 10 minutes.

Two things worth flagging upfront:

- The 95% success rate is against a 5-document corpus (best case for the attacker). In a mature collection you need proportionally more poisoned docs to dominate retrieval — but the mechanism is the same.

- Embedding anomaly detection at ingestion was the biggest surprise: 95% → 20% as a standalone control, outperforming all three generation-phase defenses combined. It runs on embeddings your pipeline already produces — no additional model.

All five layers combined: 10% residual.

Happy to discuss methodology, the PoisonedRAG comparison, or anything that looks off.
