Show HN: AI-clean – strip unwanted formatting from text copied out of AI CLIs

https://ai-clean.dev

I kept manually reformatting wrapped paragraphs and trailing whitespace every time I pasted Claude Code or Copilot CLI output into a Slack message or a GitHub issue. So I built a terminal command to run after copying that does the reformatting for me.Running in a terminal instead of using one of the browser-based formatting tools means less context switching. It handles both regular text,...

Re:Show HN: I made a website to clean up recipe websites on Monday April 27, 2026 @11:53AM (#47923227)
It's always bothered me that recipe sites are now full of SEO-targeted text you gotta scroll past just to find the actual recipe. Thanks for this.
I'm thankful Apple updated iPhones to include the feature where unrecognized callers are asked to state the reason for the call.

It's refreshing to see a story like this make it to the top page on hackernews
I wouldn't sweat no 4-year AI degree. If a person wanted to advance the theory and innovation within AI, they'd prob want a PhD.

But sounds like you're talking about becoming a practitioner who leverages AI.

The great part about new technology developments like what's happened with AI the past few years is that there is a small pool of people who have experience in the tech.

So if you invested the time to learn and build prototypes on your own, you'd be very attractive to any employer seeking to add the skillsets you practiced.

Much of what is called 'science' is not, in fact, 'science'.

It's unfathomable that people buy into the climate change narrative.

Thanks for posting this. I had the same suspicion. Makes me wonder if they've teamed up with one of the other big tech companies to supplement their results.

Re:The origins of the TV remote on Saturday September 01, 2018 @12:15PM (#17892498)
> "One idea was radio waves, but that was dismissed early on, says Taylor. “If you were in an apartment building, you might start changing the channel on the TV in the next room as well as your own.”

This reminded me how as kids in the 90s, the remote unlock button for our parents' car would set off our neighbor's car alarm if you were too close to them.

Re:How to Enable Autocomplete in Mac Terminal on Monday August 27, 2018 @11:02AM (#17851887)
Add an environment variable for `GOBIN`, like this in `~/.bashrc`

export GOBIN=$GOPATH/bin

export PATH=$PATH:$GOBIN

Now, whenever you run `go install filename.go`, you'll automatically be able to run it anywhere on your machine.
