Control your X/Twitter feed using a small on-device LLM
We built a Chrome extension and iOS app that filters Twitter's feed using Qwen3.5-4B for contextual matching. You describe what you don't want in plain language—it removes posts that match semantically, not by keyword. What surprised us was that because Twitter's ranking algorithm adapts based on what you engage with, consistent filtering starts reshaping the recommendations over time. You're implicitly signaling preferences to the algorithm. For some of us it "healed" our feed. Currently running inference from our own servers with an experimental on-device option, and we're working on fully on-device execution to remove that dependency. Latency is acceptable on most hardware but not great on older machines. No data collection; everything except the model call runs locally. It doesn't work perfectly (figurative language trips it up) but it's meaningfully better than muting keywords and we use it ourselves every day. Also promising how local / open models can now start giving us more control over the algorithmic agents in our lives, because capability density is improving.

I built a local data lake for AI powered data engineering and analytics
I got tired of the overhead required to run even a simple data analysis - cloud setup, ETL pipelines, orchestration, cost monitoring - so I built a fully local data-stack/IDE where I can write SQL/Py, run it, see results, and iterate quickly and interactively. You get data lake like catalog, zero-ETL, lineage, versioning, and analytics running entirely on your machine. You can import from a database, webpage, CSV, etc. and query in natural language or do your own work in SQL/Pyspark. Connect to local models like Gemma or cloud LLMs like Claude for querying and analysis. You don’t have to setup local LLMs, it comes built in. This is completely free. No cloud account required. Downloading the software - https://getnile.ai/downloads Watch a demo - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6qSFLylryk Check the code repo - https://github.com/NileData/local This is still early and I'd genuinely love your feedback on what's broken, what's missing, and if you find this useful for your data and analytics work.
An interactive map of Tolkien's Middle-earth
An interactive map of Tolkien’s Middle-earth, with events from across the legendarium plotted as markers. I have been commuting a fair bit between the East and West coast, and thanks to American Airlines' free onboard WiFi, I was able to vibe-code a full interactive map of Middle-earth right from my economy seat at the back of the bus. It's rather amazing how much an LLM knows about Tolkien's work, and it was fun to delve into many of the nooks and crannies of Tolkien's lore. Some features: - Plot on the map the journey of the main characters in both The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. - Follow a list of events in the chronological Timeline - Zoom in on the high-def map and explore many of the off-the-main-plotline places - Use the 'measure distances' feature to see how far apart things are. I also had a lot of fun learning about tiling to allow for efficient zooming. If you are anything like me, this should provide a fun companion to reading the books or watching the movies (note that on this site, I followed the book narrative, and did not include Peter Jackson's many departures) If you get the chance to check it out, I would love more feedback, and if there is demand, I might do the same for Game of Thrones.

I Built Paul Graham's Intellectual Captcha Idea
PG has posted about improving social networks using something like an "intellectual CAPTCHA" many times [1][2][3][4] - "Make users pass a test on basic concepts like the distinction between necessary and sufficient conditions before they can tweet." I felt the same way. So I built one using a mix of simple math, logic, and Twitter/X Community Noted posts. Try sample questions here - https://mentwire.com/sample - without signing up. - Invites are temporarily open to HN users. - Onboarding test + one daily question before accessing feed, post or reply. - Posts authors are anonymous until upvoted or downvoted, forcing evaluation of content on merit. - Face ID (on-device only) to post/reply, pangram checks for AI text. Sourcing good questions turned out to be much harder than I thought. If you have suggestions to scale this, I would love to hear. Eventually, could be gated across disciplines/topics to get a competence × interest graph instead of the pure interest graph of today's social networks.
