Show HN: ANSI-Saver – A macOS Screensaver
Hi, I've been working on something I've been thinking for long time but since I had no experience with macOS screen savers I always posponed. Now thanks to Claude I was able to create a screensaver that scroll ANSI files while your computer is idle.
It allow to use local ANS files or packs directly from 16colo.rs.

Show HN: µJS, a 5KB alternative to Htmx and Turbo with zero dependencies
I built µJS because I wanted AJAX navigation without the verbosity of HTMX or the overhead of Turbo.
It intercepts links and form submissions, fetches pages via AJAX, and swaps fragments of the DOM. Single <script> tag, one call to `mu.init()`. No build step, no dependencies.
Key features: patch mode (update multiple fragments in one request), SSE support, DOM morphing via idiomorph, View Transitions, prefetch on hover, polling, and full HTTP verb support on any element.
At ~5KB gzipped, it's smaller than HTMX (16KB) and Turbo (25KB), and works with any backend: PHP, Python, Go, Ruby, whatever.
Playground: https://mujs.org/playground
Comparison with HTMX and Turbo: https://mujs.org/comparison
About the project creation, why and when: https://mujs.org/about
GitHub: https://github.com/Digicreon/muJS
Happy to discuss the project.

Show HN: Llama 3.2 3B and Keiro Research achieves 85% on SimpleQA
ran this over the weekend. stack was Llama 3.2 3B running locally + Keiro Research API for retrieval.
85.0% on 4,326 questions. where that lands:
ROMA (357B): 93.9% OpenDeepSearch (671B): 88.3% Sonar Pro: 85.8% Llama 3.2 3B + Keiro: 85.0%
the systems ahead of us are running models 100-200x larger. that's why they're ahead. not better retrieval, not better prompting — just way more parameters.
the interesting part is how small the gap is despite that. 3 points behind a 671B model. 0.8 behind Sonar Pro. at some point you have to ask what you're actually buying with all that compute for this class of task.
Want to know how low the reader model can go before it starts mattering. in this setup it clearly wasn't the limiting factor and also if smaller models with web enabled will perform as good( if not better) as larger models for a lot of non coding tasks

Show HN: I built a tool to manage work and personal Git repos
I finally got fed up with making work + personal Git repos work on my machine.
Ever clone a work repository and accidentally make commits using your personal email? Or forget how to make your work repos use your work SSH key? Yeah... same.
So I built the tool I've always wanted. GitPersona - a CLI tool for managing many git profiles on a single machine.
Shoutout to my boy Codex for helping me finally ship this.
